Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 172: Three orders launched, global promotion

The first day of shooting ended successfully.

It is no exaggeration to say that everything was perfect.

Although neither Guo Jingming nor Luo Luo can be considered a competent director with strong professional abilities, they have worked in many crews and know many actors.

So it is very clear what the acting skills and work status of these top-tier stars in the circle are like.

In Guo Jingming's opinion, Shen Juan's performance must be much better than those of TFB, Wu Jiaheng, Yang Mi and others.

At least his acting is not exaggerated or artificial, without those performance routines, and is very close to real life.

There was no stuck or forgetting of lines during the actual filming, and he was quick to adjust after each NG, clearly possessing certain acting abilities and talent.

Although he still has a lot of room for improvement before he can reach the level of truly awesome professional actors, and although he is obviously still immature in handling the emotional changes of his character, compared with those young and popular actors who can't even act in idol dramas, the two are obviously not on the same level.

It is the luck of the whole crew to meet such a good actor who has not only the popularity to carry the box office, but also has strong professional ability and does not make trouble on the set.

At nine o'clock in the evening, after saying goodbye to his colleagues on the crew, Shen Juan walked towards the nanny car, Toyota Alpha, parked not far away.

Ren Min looked over there curiously. The car door had been opened in advance, and Yangjin Dolma, who was dressed fashionably, had a pretty face and a good figure, quickly came into her sight.

Although she couldn't hear clearly how Shen Juan greeted her, she could still feel the familiarity between them.

"Is that the agent Yangjin Zhuoma who is said to be prettier than many female stars on the Internet?"

"!"

The sudden sound in her ear startled Ren Min, who was spying on Shen Juan. She turned around and found that Zhang Ruonan had appeared beside her at some point. She was also watching Shen Juan leave and get into the Alpha, which is a standard car for many big stars.

"Ruonan, when did you come?" Ren Min was frightened, and tried hard to maintain a calm expression.

"Because I'm also waiting for the car to go back to the hotel!" Zhang Ruonan had a gentle and peaceful smile on her face.

She had a brief interaction with the big star Shen Juan on the set today and thought he was a nice guy.

But that's about it.

Because Shen Juan behaved in the crew just like the "central air conditioning" type male protagonist Qi Ming he played: he was polite and courteous to everyone, but also kept a distance from everyone.

It's completely unclear what his specific preferences are.

It's a very standard state for people in the workplace.

"Oh oh oh" Ren Min felt that she asked a very stupid question, because they usually waited here for the car to go back to the hotel, and today would be no exception.

"Speaking of which, Minmin, what do you think of Shen Juan?" Zhang Ruonan took Ren Min's arm very affectionately. After seeing that there was no one else around, she lowered her voice and began the daily gossip session of little girls.

"Ah? This... is great. He's handsome, has good acting skills, and a nice personality. I used to think he had a bad temper and was difficult to get along with."

Ren Min, somewhat flustered, enumerated the advantages of Shen Juan that she had been able to discover after a day of on-site observation.

"Do you have feelings for him?" Zhang Ruonan couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, controlling her smile and asking further.

"How is that possible? This is only the first day we met, okay?" Ren Min's voice became smaller and smaller, perhaps because she was not confident. "And even if there was a chance, there would be no chance. He is a top star, and many girls like him, while I am just a newcomer in the industry."

"But doesn't he have the nickname 'amateur killer'?" Zhang Ruonan really likes to tease her sister Ren Min.

“There is also a gap between amateurs.”

"Have confidence in yourself!"

“I don’t like daydreaming.”

"But it's night time now."

On the other side, Alpha, who had already left the set and was heading to the hotel, was also having a simultaneous conversation.

"You can do it! It's only your first day in the group and there's already a girl willing to take you home from get off work?"

Yangjin Zhuoma obviously noticed Ren Min and Zhang Ruonan who were peeping at Shen Juan. Considering Shen Juan's nickname of amateur killer and his recent behavior, it was hard not to think too much. She thought Shen Juan was using his personal charm to attract many people in the crew.

"Ah? Who sent me? How come I didn't know?"

Shen Juan subconsciously turned around and looked out the window in surprise, but unfortunately the nanny car had already left the set and was out of sight.

“Who else could it be except the actresses in the same group with you?” Yangjin Dolma rolled her eyes speechlessly.

"Them?" Shen Juan thought thoughtfully.

"You still have to be careful as much as possible to avoid being photographed, and you can't be sure that all the women who approach you don't have bad intentions." Yangjin Zhuoma said earnestly: "Although this is the trend in this circle, you still have to avoid scandals as much as possible."

In fact, many people have certain misunderstandings about the top stars in the entertainment industry, and think that top stars can easily have their reputations ruined.

But in fact, among these old-fashioned top stars in the domestic entertainment industry, except for the young TFB trio who have no scandals for the time being, the others like Fengfeng, Yangyang and Hengheng all have a lot of romantic scandals. The fans in the fan circle know all the gossips about them, but no one thinks it is serious. At most, they just mention it when they are having a fight.

To put it bluntly, at least in the entertainment industry where the fan economy has not yet been fully developed, scandals can only be used to "add icing on the cake" but cannot "provide timely assistance" and it is difficult to cause a devastating blow to celebrities.

"I know." Shen Juan didn't have too many extra thoughts. He came here just to work anyway.

Spending half a month acting in a bad movie to prove to the film industry his ability to carry the box office, proving that he is different from the old-era top stars like Lu Han, Yang Yang, and Li Yifeng whose fame is greater than their ability, and regaining the trust of investors in traffic artists is the top priority and the most important thing.

"Let's hope so."

Yangyang Jin took a deep look at Shen Juan, who looked calm, and then started a new topic: "Tomorrow, March 3, your third single from your album, Seven, will be released simultaneously around the world. We will help you promote it on Weibo, but you will be responsible for the Instagram account you control yourself."

"Totally stupid tape!"

Early morning on the 16th, US time.

"Wow! The initial data of Alex's new song is very good! It is much higher than the same period!"

Kevin is paying attention to Shen Juan’s latest song “Seven”.

As an employee of Republic Records, a subsidiary of Universal Music Group, he naturally has to have a certain degree of understanding of the Chinese singer who has just been signed by his company.

It is said that Alex is the most popular star in China. He can make headlines just by going through security at the airport. He is a walking trending search engine. "You know, Alex's streaming data has always been very good. His East Asian fans are very crazy. One person can often generate data of dozens of people."

Unlike Kevin, Paul is actually more concerned about Shen Juan's growing dominance in the streaming media field.

Even with no radio score at all, it was able to enter the B chart hot 100 for four consecutive times, which is enough to show that its streaming score and single curve sales are much higher than other songs in the same ranking range.

(In addition to the first and second singles from the album, the subsequent Black Panther promotional song "Pray For Me" and the Pokémon theme song "Celestial" also successfully landed on the Hot 100.

However, due to the too frequent release of new songs, the streaming media data was diverted, resulting in a rapid exit from the charts, and failing to surpass the performance of the first two album pre-heating singles.)
Even when he occasionally accompanies his wife to go shopping in the CBD mall, he can see the promotional advertisements purchased for him by Shen Juan's fans on the large LED screen open to the public.

And as far as he knows this is not an isolated case.

This phenomenon of crazy screen-swiping and face-swiping seems to exist in the busy commercial districts of major cities across the United States.

How could local new singers like them enjoy such all-round, all-encompassing imperial treatment?
I can only sigh that this guy's fans and company are really awesome! They have invested too much in him.

"That's normal. After all, fans of East Asian artists are crazy. But compared to the South Korean idol groups BPS or BST, I still prefer Alex. At least his publicity and marketing are not so mindless and annoying, and some of his works are really good." Kevin did not hesitate to praise Shen Juan. "Did you listen to the song "Los Angeles" he released a few days ago? I saw a resident band performing at the bar last night."

"They look much better too. The artists cultivated by the South Korean cultural system, which seems to be called K-pop if I remember correctly, are all hard to describe. I really don't know how these pretty boys with colorful hairstyles can attract fans to pay for their works."

Paul, like the vast majority of white men with normal sexual orientation who admire muscular tough guys, indiscriminately hates and tortures all sissy men who dress up in fancy clothes.

At least, in his eyes, BTS is sissy.

Anyway, he had never seen a group of male artists dressed like this before, so he felt that all male artists and even men in East Asia looked like this.

"Their target audience is not men like us. Let's talk about Alex."

Kevin's eyes sparkled as if he had just bought a stock that was continuously rising. He said, "He had achieved such good results just by streaming and online downloads before. This time, with the radio station that the company bought for him, I have a feeling that his new song may set a new personal record!"

"Maybe."

Paul was not as excited as Kevin. He just took the time to listen to Shen Juan's new song "Seven".

If the full score is 70, he can give points.

Although it's not as well produced as the previous songs, the melody is pretty good and the MV is also very nice.

And then there are his crazy fans.

So he felt that Shen Juan had a high chance of success.

After all, this is the age of streaming media.

Grasping streaming media means grasping the power of the future.

CUBE practice room in Seoul, South Korea.

Today is also a day to work hard for debut!
The company just announced a few days ago that it will launch a female singing and dancing group in the first half of this year, so as a member of the debut group that has already been confirmed, Song Yuqi can be said to be quite busy recently.

Either he is practicing singing and dancing with other teammates, or he is doing the shooting work related to various debut materials.

But Song Yuqi doesn't care about these at all.

Because she is only one step away from her debut and realizing her dream, she is tired but happy now!

After lunch that day, around 1 p.m., she was just about to take a nap to recharge her energy for the afternoon work when she saw Minnie, her close Thai teammate who had joined the company at the same time as her, running towards her excitedly, holding a mobile phone in her hand and constantly muttering Shen Juan's English name, Alex.

Then Song Yuqi widened her eyes slightly and then remembered that today, the 16th, was the day when Shen Juan’s new song was released.

As a fan, it is really inappropriate to forget when my idol will release a new song.

So she quickly took out her cell phone and logged into YouTube, and clicked on the MV of Shen Juan's new song "Seven", which had just been released and had already exceeded 200,000 views in less than ten minutes.

"Weight of the world on your shoulders." The weight of the world falls on your shoulders.

"I kiss your waist and ease your mind." I kiss your waist gently to ease your tense nerves.

The opening scene is a scene where the male and female protagonists quarrel in a restaurant. Nazha is indeed very beautiful, but Song Yuqi's attention is firmly focused on Shen Juan.

The reason is simple, my brother is just too handsome!
As expected of a “celestial beauty” who has only been active in South Korea for two months and has already captivated countless South Korean fans before even making his debut, saying that they will never fall in love with anyone else in their lifetime!
At the same time, the noise from Song Yuqi watching the MV also attracted several other teammates, and they gathered together to look at Song Yuqi's mobile phone.

Although Shen Juan has not been to South Korea for a long time, he has been very popular in South Korea because he has been able to continuously produce works that are quite popular in Europe and the United States. He has also made history by entering the B chart hot 101 as a solo singer more than once. His popularity has increased many times compared to his Produce period.

In addition, the farewell single "Event Horizon" he sang on the final stage was not only covered by idols who debuted in various companies, but later became a must-have song for many companies' trainees when practicing vocals.

So it is not surprising that Zhao Meiyan and Ye Shuhua knew Shen Juan. It would be news if they said they didn’t know him.

The MV then plays the scene where Shen Juan stands on the roof of a train and chases his wife for thousands of miles in a slightly funny way, and the hero and heroine continue to quarrel in the flooded laundry room.

Another low exclamation was heard.

Obviously everyone thinks Shen Juan has a great figure.

Especially the following paragraph:
"You know night after night."

You know every night.

"I'll be fxxking you right."

I will enjoy the joy of lovemaking with you.

“Seven days a week.”

Seven days a week without a break.

It even made several people scream with excitement.

no way.

After all, with such a pretty face and such a sexy body, singing such dirty lyrics in such a nice voice, the impact on these young girls who talk about everything in private is really too great.

So it is inevitable to lose composure!
