Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 187 Popularity Surges, Complete Break

The steps for promoting an album are always so boring because they are basically set in stone.

For example, Shen Juan has spent half a month or even longer in a boring life since he came to the United States.

But he enjoyed it very much.

Because the effect of promoting the album is very obvious.

During this period, both his album sales and his personal streaming data have grown very well.

The audience reached 900+ people.

The number of subscribers to my personal YouTube channel is over 800 million.

The number of his Instagram followers has increased by nearly 10 million in just half a month, and has now exceeded 30 million, making him the leader among East Asian artists.

It can only be said that as the fans' piggy banks were drained and they gradually stopped spending real money on the album, the natural popularity of the album finally began to ferment among the vast majority of music fans.

So he even hoped that the promotion period for this album could last a little longer so that he could gain more.

It's a pity that the MV shooting for Coca-Cola's World Cup theme song has come, and he has to immediately go to the city designated by the crew to complete this boring job which is very important to him and can help him greatly increase his global popularity and image as an artist.

Beijing time, April 4th.

As idols continue to conquer cities and expand their territories in foreign countries, fans who are responsible for logistical support naturally have to stay in their hometown and perform their jobs conscientiously.

Han Yuan, who is currently studying at a university in Shanghai, is such an old fan who has a strong sense of responsibility and is keen on data.

Speaking of which, I have been really killing like crazy during this period of time.

And it's not just overseas.

He also went on a killing spree in his country.

First, the show "The Longing for Life Season 13" in which he participated as a permanent guest was updated on Mango TV on the 20th, 28th and th of this month, and the pilot, first and second episodes were respectively released.

Not only did it rank first in the country in real-time ratings on the four networks, with a peak rating of over 2 on the city network, it also broke the ratings record for the first season's premiere, and ranked second in the same period, only behind the Running Man next door with a rating of 2.2!

A hard slap in the face to those black fans who looked down on Shen Juan and thought that a pretentious guy was incompatible with a rural slow variety show!

Han Yuan actually didn't care that they were suppressed by the Running Man show next door and failed to win the ratings championship.

On the one hand, it is because Running Man was the only show in China before the permanent guest lineup was replaced.

On the other hand, Shen Juan also participated in the recording of the two episodes of Running Man that were released on the 20th and 27th.

That’s right, the “Couple Special” episode of Running Man recorded by Shen Juan in Austria in early March is finally online.

Also announced along with the show is the global spokesperson for this season’s title brand, Amul.

Pay attention to this title, global!
In its official Weibo announcement, Amul specifically noted that Shen Juan is the first global spokesperson for their brand.

That’s pretty awesome.

Even though they didn't pay more, they didn't give more advertisements either.

But this resounding name is here.

It directly surpassed other spokespersons such as Dilraba Dilmurat and Yang Ying, who did not get the "global" prefix.

Shen Juan didn't think much about this matter. After all, in his opinion, this was what he should do. He had already achieved success in both fields, and it would be strange if he still couldn't get the title.

But his group of "evil-doing" little spring rolls couldn't help but say a few words to other fans.

There's no other reason, it's just to show off, it's because I like to see them getting angry and frustrated, but unable to do anything about their own helplessness and rage.

Otherwise, why do we support Shen Juan? Isn't it because he is the best of the generation, and being his fan will never be at a disadvantage when fighting with other fans?

Of course, these are two popular variety shows that were launched almost at the same time, and they did bring Shen Juan a very good increase in popularity and traffic and a slight increase in his popularity among passers-by.

But there were also things that made fans unhappy.

For example, Huang Lei would give Shen Juan a lesson whenever he had time in the show, and no matter how Shen Juan answered, he would say it was wrong. He was like a greasy middle-aged man who loved to share chicken soup for the soul and make things difficult for his juniors.

This gave Shen Juan's opponents and black fans a point of attack, and they used the fact that Shen Juan was disrespectful to his elders and caused Huang Lei's disgust as an excuse to launch a series of smear attacks on him by taking his words out of context and cutting off the whole story.

No wonder Huang Lei only favors Zhang Yixing among all the popular celebrities he has worked with, it’s because Zhang Yixing is honest and humble, unlike Shen Juan who likes to show off and act like a big shot.

They also came up with the theory of victim blaming.

As for why Huang Lei only targeted Shen Juan and not Peng Yuchang, I can only say that those who understand will understand. Huang Lei is not a sand coin, so how could he inexplicably target the only top star who can bring traffic and popularity to this program?

A bunch of dogs!

These disgusting remarks made the little spring rolls who wanted to hold Shen Juan in their hands and protect him very angry!

They wished they could rush into the screen or find out the specific recording location of the show, ambush Huang Lei on the road he had to take to record the show, put a sack on him and beat him up, to vent their anger for their poor Juan Ge.

(Juan: Kids, I have no objection.)
Of course, this was actually Huang Lei's own choice, otherwise the program crew would not have kept these potentially controversial shots and broadcast them to the audience.

Perhaps his various denials of Shen Juan at the beginning were indeed revenge for Shen Juan's disobedience to his ideas.

But Huang Lei is, after all, a veteran who has been in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years. Naturally, he knows very well that it is not advisable to make enemies with a popular artist, so as not to anger his fans and cause himself to suffer cyber violence, which would affect his image and personality.

So there is actually another very important reason why he did this:
He originally thought that the effect of recording the show honestly might not be better than the first season, so under the advice of others, he was obsessed with the idea of doing something fancy, to see if he could use Shen Juan's traffic and topic popularity to make the show bigger and stronger, and become his retirement insurance. So he wanted to make a reversal in his image and personality in the second half of the show, and convert all the accumulated black and red traffic into completely positive returns.

It’s a pity that Shen Juan didn’t play by the rules. After recording the first half of the show, he took a sudden leave and went directly to the United States, leaving him no chance to show his strength.

This makes him very passive now.

All they can do is wait patiently for Shen Juan to return to China, and then reverse the current bad reputation through the next few shows.

Then there was another thing that made Xiao Chunjuan very unhappy:

As the two consecutive episodes of Running Man aired on the 20th and 27th gained quite a lot of popularity, Shen Juan's partner Song Zuer also clearly had some ulterior motives.

He wanted to take the opportunity to tie himself up with Shen Juan and create a CP with him to gain popularity.

That amateur actor from the theater can be fired? I can't be fired?
Shen Juan himself doesn't care.

Anyway, I have a lot of blood, so I'm not afraid of it being sucked.

But the fans certainly couldn't accept it, so they directly started to fight with Song Zuer's already few fans. It could almost be called a replica of the blitzkrieg on Poland, and they completely took down Song Zuer's Weibo base in just one minute.

Then they began to use the ready-made negative articles created by Song Zuer's opponents to continuously produce articles about her and flood the media with articles around the clock, causing her already precarious popularity to deteriorate further. The fact that Song Zuer drugged her cousin Shu Chang and sent her to the big boss' bed was deeply rooted in people's minds.

It can only be said that stealing the chicken does not end up losing the rice.

Anyway, when Shen Juan received Song Zuer's complaint call in LA, he didn't know how to comfort her.

Then, the semi-finals of "This is Street Dance" in which Shen Juan had previously participated in recording was also launched on the 28th.

The light stage he and the Ukrainian dance troupe Light Balance presented together created a near-perfect visual experience that shocked almost every audience member who watched the show.

So it quickly sparked discussion outside the circle.

There will no longer be any controversy about Shen Juan being "missing one of the three skills of singing, dancing and rap, and not living up to the title of all-round ACE".

In addition, the performances and excellent results Shen Juan has achieved in the process of promoting his album in recent times have also sparked very lively discussions in the country.

For example, he went to London on April 4 and performed his hit single "In My Blood" which was very popular among British fans at the Queen of England's 21nd birthday celebration.

(In fact, Shen Juan originally wanted to sing other songs on this grand and solemn stage, such as "Seven" which means "I Fuck You Seven Days a Week" or "50 Feet" which means "I Fuck You So Much" but the British royal family refused to let him sing it and designated "In My Blood" instead, so Shen Juan could only complete the performance with great regret)
For example, at the BBC The One Show performance on the 22nd, Shen Juan had his first close encounter with his British Alovers outdoors in the UK, which caused a sensation among his fans.

For example, he returned to North America on the 23rd, attended a meeting at the United Nations headquarters in New York and gave a speech in English, becoming another domestic artist to have given a speech at the United Nations.

Moreover, the way he looked in a suit and speaking seriously has become a new dream material for many girls.

Many girlfriend fans and dream girl fans created a popular tag #My Boyfriend in the System#.

For example, yesterday, the top luxury jewelry brand Tiffany officially announced their global spokesperson Shen Juan on multiple online platforms.

This means that it only took Shen Juan five months to upgrade from a Chinese brand ambassador to a global spokesperson.

You have to know that in this era when luxury goods have not yet given wholesale titles to celebrities in the entertainment industry, it is already very difficult to get the title of spokesperson for high-end luxury goods.

This time, Shen Juan directly obtained the highest-level title of global spokesperson, which shocked the entire domestic entertainment industry.

So it’s not just the little spring rolls in China, but even Alovers in South Korea and around the world are expressing their happiness and joy on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

For example, this post is about to reach thousands of posts.

Title: [How do you evaluate Shen Juan's million-selling album "Underrated" which topped the Billboard 200, and seven singles entered the Billboard Hot 100? ]

Content: 29 "Dancing With A Stranger", 53 "If I Can't Have You" (back on the charts), 62 "Pray For Me" (back on the charts), 71 "In My Blood" (back on the charts), 77 "Seven", 92 "Beautiful People", 96 "golden hour".

【I am great, no need to say more. 】

[Sure, if I remember correctly, this album has about seven or eight MVs. Even with the severe data split in streaming media, it can still release so many Hot 30 songs at once, including one TOP song. It seems that Shen Juan has really established a foothold in Europe and the United States with Underrated. What should Sister Niu do now? ]

[A few months ago, I might have been extremely excited, but now I’m just like that. After all, I’m obviously aiming to hit the highest-selling album in the world this year. Wouldn’t it be easy to win the B200 weekly championship?]

[My review is: There is no core theme or album concept at all, but the commercial attributes are fully utilized, and almost everyone can find a hodgepodge of hits that they like. BTW: I fucking love bestpart! ]

[This is the pride we have in demolishing that! I want to ask you if you Korean fans have this kind of pride? ]

[The Koreans next door have already treated me as one of their own. They keep talking about the pride of East Asian artists and the glory of the K-pop system, and never mention the word "demolition". But the good thing is that their attitude towards me is very gentle. I hope that if I have time, I can plan a trip to South Korea. After all, if you don't return home when you are rich, you will never return home.]

[To be honest, compared to Shen Juan’s creative talent as a producer, his talent as a singer and artist is not worth mentioning. UR is not great, but it can definitely help him establish influence around the world. ]

[So how do you rank Bieber, Hardy, Moe, Broken Eyebrow, Malone, Bonzai, and Shen Juan in the European and American circles? ]

[Without saying anything else, Shen Juan is definitely the most handsome among them. He is the most beautiful person standing there. ]

[The funniest thing was when Shen Juan was performing in Times Square and his fans blocked the road, causing Shen Juan to be scolded by an old white man.]

Anyway, for now, Shen Juan has completely distanced himself from the group of people in China who rely entirely on fan traffic.

People like Pikachu, Silly Roe Deer, Zhang Mianyang and Panda Man can't scam Shen Juan at all.

Because whether it was the actual performance of the works and the stage performances that went viral, or the Weibo super topic check-ins that symbolized the fans' strong power, they were all completely blasted away by Shen Juan.

The current super topic sign-ins: Zhang Yixing 20w+, Lu Han, Huang Zitao and Wu Jiaheng are all 10w+, and Shen Juan?
4月6号偶练决赛当晚的实时超话签到是40w，4月13号发行专辑当天的签到是55w，4月14号科切拉舞台在国内热度发酵后的签到数是60w，而昨天4月29号统计出来的数据则变为了73w。

A finals with hundreds of NTR trainees at the same time, an album with eye-popping sales, plus N performances that were so handsome that made people dizzy and weak in the knees, and the continuous exposure and traffic accumulation from multiple popular variety shows, together created the domestic entertainment industry's ascension myth of gaining 20 fans in 30 days.
