Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 166 Negative Personality

In fact, the main recording process of the program "Longing" can be divided into five parts: meeting the guests, taking a walk and chatting, working in the fields, eating and acting, and the night chat which is mainly reserved for Huang Lei to show his own experience and share his insights on life.

Like yesterday after dinner, Shen Juan was dragged by Huang Lei and forced to drink a big bowl of hot chicken soup.

Huang Lei asked him why he sang so well?

Shen Juan said it mainly depends on talent and acquired practice.

Huang Lei shook his head solemnly.

He said that whether a singer sings well or not mainly depends on the person's mentality, psychological quality and beliefs. He also said that by the end of a song, it has little to do with singing skills and voice. The main competition is emotional investment and belief in stage performance.

It seems to make some sense, but in fact it is bullshit.

Shen Juan had to think about all the saddest and most brutal things that had ever happened to him in his life before he could stop himself from laughing.

Then Huang Xiaochu talked about how young and energetic he was when he first released the album.

It’s a pity that for various reasons, he stopped singing, leaving the Chinese music scene without a soul singer.

"What a pity." He Jiong and Peng Yuchang shook their heads and sighed like fools.

Huang Lei saw that Shen Juan was the only one who didn't brag about himself, so he asked him again: Xiao Shen, aren't you recording that idol talent show with Yixing? What do you think is the most important thing to stand out in this show?
Shen Juan pondered for a moment: appearance.

He was able to dominate South Korea thanks to his handsome face.

Huang Lei shook his head: Wrong!

Shen Juan scratched his head: strength.

Appearance is just the surface, the inner strength must be there.

It is indeed too superficial to only talk about appearance in front of the camera.

Huang Lei shook his head again: Wrong!

Shen Juan frowned slightly: A personality that attracts fans?

Huang Lei still shook his head: I am still wrong. If you want to stand out, you need appearance, strength and character!

Shen Juan looked embarrassed and was speechless for a moment.

Leizi, are you playing an obedience test with me here?

Is everything I said wrong?
Do you understand talent shows, or do I understand talent shows?

When you are born, do you always say to the doctor: Doctor, your delivery technique is wrong.
Thinking of this, Shen Juan, who had been trying hard to hold back his smile, could no longer control it and released it.

He Jiong and Peng Peng standing by also felt a little nervous when they saw this. They were only obeying Huang Lei and giving face to Huang Lei on the surface, but it did not mean that they had really been tamed by Huang Lei.

Seeing this, Huang Lei asked again: What are you laughing at?
Shen Juan restrained his smile out of politeness, rubbed his face to calm himself down: he thought of something happy.

Huang Lei felt that his supreme authority as the head of the Mushroom House was offended, so he denied Shen Juan again: Wrong! You thought of something happy.

Shen Juan tilted his head stiffly, looking at Huang Lei, whose expression was serious and not joking, and was unable to utter a word.

The atmosphere fell into silence again.

He felt that if the previous segment was broadcasted as it was, the number of emoticons he received in one night might exceed the total of the past year. Huang Lei was a real idiot who made him feel a little weird.

I don't know how Lay managed to hold on.

Maybe it's because he is honest and obedient, otherwise, a normal person probably wouldn't be able to stand this fatherly preaching.

The first day in the Mushroom House passed like this.

Early the next morning, the two old men took the two young men to the mountain behind the mushroom house to dig bamboo shoots.

Because the guests coming today want to eat braised bamboo shoots.

The ingredients need to be prepared by these "masters".

We were busy like this for almost two hours.

On the way back to the mushroom house carrying a bamboo basket.

"When the guest who wants to eat braised bamboo shoots comes over, you guys can take him to the fields to plant rice!" Huang Lei instructed Shen Juan and Peng Yuchang.

"But maybe the guests don't like transplanting rice seedlings?" Peng Yuchang asked naively. No one likes to work in the fields.

If so, it's probably to establish a character.

"It's not up to him whether he likes it or not!" Huang Lei was obviously very familiar with the customer, otherwise he wouldn't dare to speak like that.

Shen Juan, who was walking in the front, suddenly noticed a group of people in the distance, with a cameraman beside them. He pointed at the group of people and turned back to He Jiong and the others and shouted:

"Is today's guest here?"

Huang Lei looked over there carefully, then squinted his eyes and nodded affirmatively: "It can't be wrong, it must be."

Shen Juan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Huang Lei would say, "Wrong! Today's guest has arrived."

Fortunately, he hasn't gone crazy to that extent.
Then they noticed that the other two groups of troops started shouting at each other across a large field and mud pond. They were all very energetic and could all be sailors driving warships.

"Hi!" Xu Zheng shouted.

"Do you want to eat the eel?"

Teacher He sang on behalf of everyone in the Mushroom House.

"what?"

"Do you want to eat eel?" Wang Yanhui, another guest in the group, heard it clearly and reminded Xu Zheng.

"Yeah!"

"Who is this? Let me go and see." When Teacher He saw a customer coming, he immediately quickened his pace to greet the customer.

Seeing this, Shen Juan also picked up his bag and followed.

I can only say that there is a reason why Mr. He has been able to build such a huge network of contacts and has such good popularity. His warm hospitality naturally makes others feel good about him.

The reason why it was dealt with was purely because a gray industry chain that exploited trainees was exposed on the show, and it was jointly rectified and suppressed by those capital groups.

About five minutes later, the four permanent guests and two flying guests, a total of six people, finally met in the courtyard of the Mushroom House, and naturally there was no lack of greetings. "It's the eel you ordered, right!"

Huang Lei's simple words made Xu Zheng raise his voice instantly, and he didn't know why.

"Stir-fried shrimp and eel is definitely a must. After all, we are in Hangzhou. Shouldn't we have a bowl of stir-fried shrimp and eel noodles when we are in Hangzhou?"

He Jiong turned around and said, "I didn't know it was you just now. I cursed you more than 200 times in my heart. We went up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots for almost two hours, but we only found seven. Most of them were found by Xiao Juan. It was really too difficult."

"Is Xiao Shen so good at digging bamboo shoots?" Xu Zheng first praised Shen Juan intentionally or unintentionally, and then thanked everyone: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Xu Zheng, come outside for a while, have some tea and rest." Huang Lei was exhausted after digging bamboo shoots. He waved to everyone in the pavilion.

As they walked, Xu Zheng teased Huang Lei and reminded him, "I heard that you were building this stove yesterday, so you built it? How come you haven't lost weight even though you're so tired?"

"Ah? Then why did you become darker? So dark and fat!" When Huang Lei heard Xu Zheng making fun of him, he slapped Xu Zheng in annoyance and immediately retaliated.

Then He Jiong also joined the battlefield, and they acted as a duet with Huang Lei, bullying Xu Zheng together. There was an inexplicable sense of husband and wife following each other's lead, and the others were all laughing without being able to get a word in.

Shen Juan began to understand why foreigners thought that "Longing" was a program recorded by a gay couple.

After all, Teacher He does possess the delicacy and gentleness of a girl at certain times, and really is like a lady.

Unfortunately, no matter what, even when he was outnumbered two, Xu Zheng did not give up. He kept countering the enemies' moves and was unwilling to go to the fields to work as Huang Lei and He Jiong ordered.

Huang Lei saw that Xu Zheng kept giving various excuses, acting like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, and he was helpless, so he simply listed all the work that needed to be done today and let Xu Zheng choose by himself.

But he remained unmoved.

But after a while, Xu Zheng inexplicably started to move bricks and build stoves with everyone else.

As expected, I still can't relax, and it's not right to not work all the time. Everyone else is busy, and you are the only one resting. I will feel embarrassed.

After building the stove for a while, Xu Zheng felt bored and wanted to do something else to relax. After asking Huang Lei, he decided to do the easiest job in his opinion:

Collecting honey.

"Let's go, Xiao Shen, let's go get some honey, okay?" Xu Zheng stood up and clapped his hands, then said to Shen Juan.

"Let's go!" Shen Juan had long been fed up with Huang Lei who had been chattering in his ears and trying to tame him.

This big brother just denied him several times in the name of guiding the performance and sharing his experience.

Even Shen Juan secretly held back his laughter while praising him: He is worthy of being a teacher who taught at Beijing Film Academy!

He would feel secretly happy in his heart, but at the same time, he would subconsciously deny it: Wrong! It’s not a teacher, it’s a mentor!

So this time when Xu Zheng invited him, he certainly would not refuse, completely ignoring the slightly resentful look behind him.

"Can I come too?"

When he heard that they were going to collect honey, Peng Yuchang immediately became interested and quickly raised his hand to join the two of them.

"Of course you can, but you must pay attention to safety. Make sure you wear socks and don't go barefoot. And don't expose your skin, otherwise bees will sting you." Teacher He stopped and said after carefully looking at the outfits of Shen Juan and Peng Yuchang.

"Ok."

The three of them put on protective clothing, and the honey-collecting team officially set off, chatting about bees along the way.

For example, the director said that if you are stung by a bee, you will get ten yuan for a bag, and even if you are injured, you will also receive a pension.

Peng Yuchang said that he could get stung a few times on purpose because the Mushroom House was in a tight financial situation and was short of money.

But he was stopped by Shen Juan.

The reason is that Mushroom House does not encourage this kind of behavior of using one's body to make money, as it will lead the children who watch the show astray.

After hearing this, Xu Zheng suddenly thought of something and kept laughing. He then talked to Shen Juan about his experience in the United States, which he was very interested in.

Although he is not the target audience of Shen Juan's musical style, it does not prevent him from thinking that Shen Juan is awesome.

After all, there are so many singers who have released English songs and tried to make a name for themselves in the United States, but in the end they could only get the title of "fake international celebrities", and then take advantage of the information gap between China and abroad to return to their country and brag to fool the people.

Over the years, Shen Juan is the only one who has truly and effectively traveled to the United States, which is definitely of great significance.

Shen Juan also organized his words and picked out some interesting parts from those experiences to share.

And when Xu Zheng heard that European and American fans were very enthusiastic and open, and would even throw underwear at singers performing on stage, his eyes couldn't help but widen.

This old guy obviously wants to go to Europe or America for a spa.

The three of them were walking and chatting along the way, having a great time. Suddenly, they heard someone shouting hello from behind. When they turned around, they saw a tall and beautiful girl with a slender figure.

"Isn't this that Guli Nazha? Anyone here know her?" Xu Zheng looked at Shen Juan and Peng Yuchang beside him.

Of course, he mainly looked at Shen Juan.

After all, as one of the few middle-aged artists in the domestic entertainment industry who has transformed from an actor to a director and producer, in order to control the market trend, he has to always pay attention to recent online developments.

Because of this, it is natural to hear about the fan circle scandals and cheating rumors between Shen Juan and Nazha.

"Brother Juan must know him."

Peng Yuchang obviously understood a lot too. He also knew that Shen Juan had filmed a MV with Nazha in Los Angeles some time ago.

You have to know that top stars, especially those who go international, have fans all over the world, and this kind of filming without completely clearing the scene is too easy to leak Reuters photos.

Of course, Shen Juan and Nazha did not deliberately hide their work schedule, and even posted photos of them on the set on Weibo and Instagram on the day of the final shooting.

"I know her, but I didn't know she would come today." Shen Juan admitted it calmly and frankly.

There is nothing to deny about this kind of thing.

After all, they currently have no relationship or feelings for each other, so there is naturally no need for them to avoid suspicion in front of the camera.

Of course, even if there is, it is only one-sided.

"That means they want to give you a surprise!" Xu Zheng showed an obscene and playful smile. As a playboy, he knew too much about these things between men and women.

Anyway, in his opinion, Guli Nazha was clearly coming for Shen Juan, so it seemed like there would be some fun today!
Shen Juan sighed silently in his heart and said helplessly: "I didn't feel surprised at all."

After all, her look clearly showed ill intentions.
