Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 180 Album Online Countdown

Although he has already obtained a top-level resource that is enough to completely widen the gap between himself and other traffic, for Shen Juan, the ordinary work of slowly accumulating popularity and exposure step by step is equally important.

Big Black Bull and Fan Xiaopang changed their profile pictures back to couple profile pictures to show their affection, completely unaware that the tax crisis is quietly approaching.

On their love anniversary, Luo Zhixiang and Zhou Yangqing posted a message to show their love for each other. No one would have thought that this lady would suddenly come up with something big two years later, directly ushering in the era of short essays in the domestic entertainment industry.

Jinfu announced that he would go abroad to study. He still had half a year to accumulate all his ambitions and transform into East Asian Jinfu.

Shen Juan stayed in Tonglu, Zhejiang, to complete the first recording of "Longing for Life 2" in April.

The first batch of guests were Zhao Baogang, Wang Luodan, Song Dandan, Batu and Peng Yuchang’s “sister” Zhang Zifeng.

It's quite pleasant to get along with each other.

Shen Juan also took this opportunity to get to know Song Dandan, a hidden big shot in the circle, and Zhang Zifeng.

The former is easy to understand. Although he has been in a semi-retired state in recent years, his background and network resources are terrifyingly strong.

It is beneficial to establish good relationships with senior executives who have friends and connections everywhere, and there is no harm in that.

As for the latter, if nothing unexpected happens, it is very likely that he will become a new permanent member next year.

Therefore, it is never a bad idea to establish good relationships as early as possible, which will also make it much easier to create a great atmosphere in the Mushroom House in the future.

Moreover, they already knew each other. They met when they were filming "Our Times" two years ago.

It's just that there was no contact information before.

The first batch of guests left and the second wave arrived.

Qi Wei and Tong Liya.

These two are pretty funny too.

One is a drama queen who always wants to perform in front of the camera and show off himself anytime and anywhere, and the other is an obsessive-compulsive person who feels uncomfortable if he doesn't do housework or tidy up.

After a whole day of hard work and busyness, when the dinner prepared by Chef Huang was ready and served on the table, everyone stood up and clinked glasses with him to thank him.

Then Shen Juan felt that the most abstract part was coming.

Huang Lei specially learned how to make a pitch-black smoked fish for Qi Wei. Qi Wei, who had already prepared herself for the event, just took a small bite and her tears instantly burst out.

She cried and said that the taste of the smoked fish made by Teacher Huang reminded her of her deceased grandfather.

This impromptu performance left the "King of Support" He Jiong and the "King of Patience" Shen Juan standing next to them stunned.

And that’s not all. When He Jiong saw that almost no one was eating the big bowl of smoked fish, he said he wanted to sell it for money. Upon hearing that, Qi Wei started crying again.

I tried to control Shen Juan who was eating next to me for ten seconds. I just thought, sister, you love acting so much, could it be that you treat "A Longing for Life" as "Midnight Diner"?
Therefore, a new emoticon package contributed by Shen Juan in this program may be born.

Of course, I just complained a few words in my heart.

After all, this circle is all about acting, and the two of them have no grudges against each other and are not familiar with each other at all. There is no need to forcibly sabotage each other at an inappropriate time and lose face for others.

Then came the third group of athlete guests: Wu Dajing, Han Tianyu and table tennis head coach Liu Guoliang.

Huang Lei, who could not suppress the preaching spirit in his heart, made another effort. He not only asked Wu Dajing and Han Tianyu to strive to win the gold medals in the next Winter Olympics, but also made the two men, who were already under great pressure, dare not respond.

Afterwards, he shamelessly taught Liu Guoliang the game tricks and gaming techniques, which left Fatty Liu speechless. He felt that this genius was really used to being praised by others, and dared to say anything and teach anyone.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the recording was completed. Shen Juan took a car to Hangzhou and took a flight back to Beijing.

When he returned home after dinner, it was already a little after eight o'clock in the evening. Shen Juan took a quick shower and then started a live broadcast on Instagram in order to create as much heat as possible for his upcoming album and stimulate sales.

However, the difference from the last live broadcast is that this time the peak number of online users in the live broadcast room successfully broke the six-digit mark, reaching the gratifying figure of 113k.

(Other data was not found, anyway, as of June 2020, the historical ranking of Instagram live broadcast users is that the first place is unknown with 6 million, and the tenth place is Cristiano Ronaldo with 300)
Although it still cannot be compared with those first-tier celebrities who have 200,000 or 300,000 people online, it is already a very exaggerated result in Asia.

To put it bluntly, singers like him who come from the domestic entertainment industry are the same as the K-pop idols next door. If they want to break into the United States, they must utilize and integrate all available resources.

For example, for Shen Juan, the relatively large markets such as Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia are what he must strive for.

Therefore, if conditions permit in the future, he might take the time to go to Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia to carry out some offline activities that are not limited to the world tour.

This will greatly help him further enhance his local fame and popularity among fans. If he wants to truly establish actual influence, it is impossible to only live on the Internet.

As for the content of the live broadcast, it is actually very simple.

It was nothing more than chatting with fans, answering some questions that he could answer, playing a little piano piece of "Golden Hour" to elicit praises in various languages ​​and raising their expectations for the album.

Then, to cater to the needs of Japanese and Korean fans, he sang "Event Horizon", which left a deep impression and precious memories on countless South Korean talent show fans, as well as "Lemon", a TV drama theme song that has been very popular in Japan and China recently, and "Unrequited Love" by Aimer. Although Shen Juan has not been to these countries for activities since his debut, he is indeed working hard.

Fans in these countries can of course feel Shen Juan's importance to them, and will naturally spare no effort to support and repay him in their own way.

April 4th, 12pm Beijing time.

There are still 14 hours until the album is released.

Shen Juan's team boarded an international flight to Los Angeles, USA at Terminal T3 of Beijing Capital International Airport.

In fact, in recent years, including in the domestic entertainment industry after the "Friends", whenever most celebrities go abroad, as long as they don't secretly go to Japan or South Korea to get their faces done or go on a date or vacation with their shameful underground lovers, their company teams will basically buy a lot of hot search articles and take this opportunity to create marketing momentum.

The purpose is to create the illusion of "false prosperity" that the artists are very popular overseas, use the information gap between home and abroad to deceive domestic fans and passers-by who do not understand the foreign entertainment market, and infinitely raise the artists' status.

But to put it bluntly, a lot of it is fake.

For example, a certain fan likes to brag that he has once again become number one on Twitter, and that his brother is a global star!
But the problem is that this guy’s total number of fans on Instagram is only in the six digits, not even as many as Yang Yang and other top stars who have fallen from grace.

I really don't know where he gets the nerve to brag that he is an international figure with overseas export capabilities and representing the face of China.

If this can be counted as overseas export capability, then the Thai gay band BKPP holding a concert in China with 40,000 people in attendance can also be counted as Thai cultural export.

After all, this is a venue for 40,000 people.

Not to mention overseas, how many singers in China have enough traffic to hold a concert in front of 40,000 people at home?
But the question is, apart from fans in the Thai gay circle, are there really many people in China who know the two BKPP guys?
So in other words, without the fan filter, the way foreigners look at our so-called international celebrities is actually not much different from the way we look at BKPP.

Outside of this small circle, you are nothing.

There are not many of us who can even hold a concert for 40,000 people abroad.

Of course, Shen Juan is different from these people.

He has appeared at the opening ceremony of the League of Legends World Championship, walked in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, and has several B-chart hit singles. He does have a certain degree of fame and fan popularity overseas.

Therefore, his public trip to the United States to promote his album attracted the attention of many fans and media at home and abroad.

Domestic hot searches include:
#Shen Juan goes to the United States#
#Countdown to Shen Juan's first solo album#
#Shen Juan fans cheer on the big screen in New York Times Square#
The trend in the world, the United States, and the United Kingdom abroad is a simple and concise #Alex Shen# that topped the list.

This has also led to many foreign netizens who do not pay attention to the entertainment industry, have never heard of Shen Juan's works, and do not know Shen Juan to have a basic impression of the name Alex.

Although the pyramids were not built in a day.

But it's certainly a good start.

So just take it slow and steady.

After releasing this album and trying to stabilize my popularity at the second tier, the pressure of work in the future will be much less.

Sleep, wake up, and sleep again, repeating this cycle for an unknown amount of time. In his half-drowsy dream, Shen Juan felt as if someone was poking his arm.

He opened his eyes, took off the blindfold and looked around.

"Boss, we will land in about half an hour." The young assistant said standing next to Shen Juan's seat.

“Fuck, we’re finally here.” Shen Juan rubbed his eyes and stretched. He really couldn’t stand sitting on a plane for more than ten hours at a time. It was too boring.

"How can it be far to cross halfway around the world?"

"Indeed. Fortunately, we are finally here."

It was about 7:30 in the evening Pacific Standard Time. Shen Juan squinted his eyes and turned his head to look at the scenery outside the oval window. The plane was descending and he could vaguely see the night scene of Los Angeles city in the distance.

The entire Los Santos was now lit up with lights, which was very eye-catching. Countless brilliant light paths started from this city and ran in all directions. The main body of the light was golden and flowed continuously in the major streets. This brightly lit city flashed in his eyes through the thin mist.

Countless people who cherish the American dream and dream of one day making a name for themselves are willing to burn their dreams and lives, giving this land a real heartbeat and blood.

Shen Juan had nothing to say about this matter.

Some people see dust, some people see stars.

Everything has two sides. You can neither deny its prosperity nor wash away its sins.

The good thing is that as an artist whose main responsibility is to enrich people's spiritual life and entertain the public, he comes here purely to gain the love of fans. Those slightly complicated things are not what he needs to consider at this stage.

So just make money honestly.

For celebrities in the entertainment industry, making money is the most important thing.
