Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 188 It’s become different
Cristo del Cristo Mountain in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, also known as the Camelback Mountain and Jesus Mountain, is located east of the Chijuca National Forest Park. A giant statue of Jesus built to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Brazil's independence stands on the mountain, making it a symbol of Rio de Janeiro and even the whole of Brazil.

The scenery is beautiful. Standing on the top of the mountain overlooking the whole city, you can see the entire Rio city, Maracanã Stadium, Rodrigo Atoll and Ipanema Beach.

It is undoubtedly an important pillar of Brazil's tourism industry.

Shen Juan is currently filming the official Coca-Cola World Cup theme song MV here.

As for why, even though this year is the World Cup in Russia, the crew brought Shen Juan to the country where the previous World Cup was held to shoot the theme song MV?
High emotional intelligence: The World Cup is a sporting event that attracts the attention of people all over the world, so it should not be limited to a certain country and should showcase the beauty of diverse cultures in the MV.

Low EQ: Couldn’t find the specific filming location.

All in all, Shen Juan came to this former capital of Brazil, which has the reputation of "City of God" but has a serious gap between the rich and the poor, to participate in the shooting of the World Cup theme song MV.

Chinese food is very famous for Brazilian barbecue.

Because Shen Juan has the habit of exercising after work, his current body shape is both well-proportioned and healthy, and also very much in line with human aesthetics (187cm, 79kg, broad shoulders, narrow waist, big frame, low body fat and thin muscles). He has no need to lose weight or reduce fat, so he can eat as much as he wants.

"Yangyangjin, don't you want to eat?"

Seeing that his agent stopped eating after a few bites and elegantly scrolled through his phone, he asked with concern.

“No.” Yangjin Zhuoma refused succinctly, and then, perhaps because she felt that Shen Juan had good intentions after all, she explained, “I’ve been eating a lot recently. I’ve gained at least two kilograms in the past half month.”

"This is outrageous. Am I the artist or are you the artist?" Shen Juan was speechless: "Why don't artists need to manage their body shape, but their managers do?"

"Unless you get older, women have to keep managing their figure, okay?" Yang Yangjin said somewhat dissatisfied.

"Your idol image is heavier than mine now, sister." Shen Juan smiled, "It seems that you have really paid a lot to maintain the title and image of the most beautiful agent in the domestic entertainment industry."

Yang Yangjin glared at him: "Why do you care about me?"

"I have no right to control you." Shen Juan raised his hand and lifted a strand of hair in front of her forehead, gently fiddling with it a few times.

"What are you doing"

Yang Yangjin's eyes were wandering due to shyness, and her originally aggressive voice became noticeably weaker.

"Hmm? Can't you see?" Shen Juan looked into her eyes with a faint smile on his face. "Your bangs are messed up by the wind. I'm helping you tidy up your hair!"

Yangjin Zhuoma did not dare to meet the eyes of her own artist, which were described by South Korean Alovers as "sometimes as clear as an innocent fawn, and sometimes as affectionate as Jack Dawson", for fear that she would not be able to hold back and reveal the inappropriate and shameful emotions in her heart.

So he quickly lowered his head to avoid eye contact and said calmly, "Don't I have hands?"

She always felt that after Shen Juan came to North America to release his album and achieved great success, his whole mental outlook and temperament had become different.

If he had previously concealed his flamboyant character out of consideration that the Chinese people like public figures to remain humble and low-key, now that he has gained enough confidence, he has revealed his unbridled edge.

After getting rid of the restraint and timidity caused by fear of public opinion and cultivating the aura of a superstar, the whole person seems to have become much more dazzling with the blessing of absolute self-confidence.

Others are not sure yet, but Yang Yangjin feels that she quite likes Shen Juan in this state.

Because it is full of star feeling and superstar flavor.

"Some things are easier seen by bystanders than bystanders." Shen Juan smiled and did not continue to pursue the matter. Instead, he stopped while he was ahead and started a new topic of conversation, discussing the recent news in the domestic entertainment industry.

For example, the girl group talent show "Creation 101" produced by Tencent in China is currently on the air. Yang Chaoyue and Wang Ju, who have their own traffic and topics, as well as Wu Xuanyi and Meng Meiqi from Le Hua, have instantly become the focus of the Internet recently.

When Shen Juan was promoting his album in North America some time ago, he took the time to ask his team assistant to log on to his Weibo account to canvass votes for these two colleagues whom he had never met.

For example, Hu Yitian, who was promoted by Huace less than half a year ago, had a one-night stand with an internet celebrity, which led to a large number of fans leaving him, and he instantly dropped from the second-top star with more than 10 sign-ins to a third-tier traffic star.

For example, there are marketing claims that Mango TV's reality show "Fantasy City" has successfully invited Faye Wong, who has never participated in a reality show before, with a sky-high remuneration of 80 million yuan, and is currently negotiating with Shen Juan's team, hoping to invite both superstars to participate in the recording on the same stage.

(This guy directly gave Shen Juan a promotion)

"How many?"

"Five million, one episode of flying guest."

"That's getting better." Shen Juan smiled. He didn't know whether it was because Mango TV was generous with the money, or because his status in the circle and the attention paid by capital had indeed increased.

Five million for each guest appearance. If this is converted into twelve episodes per season, it would probably be sixty million.

Apart from a few big names suspected of money laundering, such as Fan Xiaopang from "Challengers League", his variety show pay of 60 million yuan is definitely among the top tier in the domestic entertainment industry.

It’s a pity that the salary cap for variety shows will be issued at the end of the year, and there will be no such easy opportunities to make money in the future!
"But we would inflate the amount a little in the marketing press releases we released to the public. For example, if your actual salary was 3600 million, we reported it as 5000 million."

This is also an important way to enhance the artist's status in the eyes of passers-by who don't pay much attention to the entertainment industry.

"Then why don't we just report 60 or 70 million?" As the saying goes, the bolder the man, the more productive the land.

“If you report too high, it will easily attract the attention of the higher-ups, who will check your taxes,” Yangjin Zhuoma replied truthfully.

"What are you afraid of? I don't have any tax problems." "You're not afraid of others being afraid, you have nothing to fear if you are upright, but have you ever considered other people's feelings?"

"There are many shady ways of tax avoidance and evasion in the industry now. There are not many people like you who pay taxes honestly. And you just went abroad to make a big splash, which made these top endorsers who were promoted by capital lose face. To some extent, it's like cutting off their financial resources. Who else should they punish if not you?"

"Well, it turns out that being too normal is wrong!"

"Is there a possibility?" Yangjin Zhuoma paused for a moment and said the slightly magical fact: "In this circle, you are the most abnormal one?"

The MV shooting was completed in two days.

The content is nothing more than lip syncing to the major landmarks of Rio de Janeiro, and then singing and dancing with dancers wearing traditional costumes of various countries.

These are very basic and simple dance steps.

And perhaps it is because there is a visibly difference between his appearance and temperament and that of the original singer, anyway, Shen Juan, who has many years of experience as an idol trainee, presents a very good visual effect in the camera lens.

Coupled with a makeup that is full of youthful vitality and fashionable, it is easy to create a stunning and refreshing feeling that is eye-catching.

So perhaps we can really take this opportunity to expand Shen Juan's fame and influence around the world.

On the way to Rio Airport, Yangjin Zhuoma explained the next work arrangements to Shen Juan in the car.

"After filming the MV, the promotion period for your album will almost be over. After attending Tiffany's annual brand gala in New York tomorrow night and this year's Met Gala on the 7th, we should return home."

As Tiffany's newly announced global spokesperson, Shen Juan naturally needs to support them.

As for the Met Gala?

If you want to improve your status and expand your influence in the global fashion industry, you can’t miss the “Oscars of Fashion”.

"What kind of job will you have after you return home?"

"After returning to China, I first landed in Beijing to record an episode of "Please Take Care of My Refrigerator". Tencent has recently sent many invitations for film and television projects and variety shows. Although you have established a firm foothold overseas, considering that China is your base after all, we still have to give them some face and not make the relationship too awkward."

"Okay, I have no objection." Shen Juan nodded slightly.

To be honest, although he has made a name for himself overseas this time, to some extent, it is also equivalent to damaging the interests of these domestic capital manufacturers.

Very understandable.

If Shen Juan chooses to release this album with explosive sales in China, then his fans' money will basically remain in China and be divided up by various manufacturers (mainly Tencent).

But Shen Juan chose to put his products on the shelves in North America, which means that no matter how exaggerated and shocking his achievements are, domestic capital will not be able to make a penny. Therefore, some capital manufacturers are secretly suppressing Shen Juan in order to prevent this "catfish" from being too arrogant and muddying the waters.

Although from a macro perspective, this money can at best be regarded as the necessary investment cost for artists who want to enter the United States to establish their fame and influence overseas in the early stages.

In the end, as long as Shen Juan does not change his nationality and run away, and as long as he does not evade taxes, the money will always flow back to China and even create more foreign exchange.

But capital is profit-seeking after all.

If you let others make money, it is equivalent to a loss.

Therefore, after Shen Juan returns to China with many honors, it is indeed time for him to maintain friendship with these capital interest groups in the circle and ease the currently slightly tense relationship.

"What's next? Do you have any other schedules this month besides filming?" The filming here refers to the film "Dear, Beloved" that Shen Juan had just taken on.

The crew of this drama even delayed the start of filming for a month in order to wait for Shen Juan, and the heroine also took advantage of this time to go to South Korea for a detailed cosmetic surgery adjustment.

Therefore, from the investors to the directors to the leading actors, they are obviously eager to have Shen Juan join the crew, which will bring considerable attention and discussion to the drama.

Yangyangjin looked at the itinerary record in the memo on her phone and replied, "You need to go to Las Vegas to attend the Billboard Music Awards on the 20th (US time), and then complete the last recording of Longing at the end of the month. The rest of the time you will stay on the set filming. Now you finally don't have to run around."

"But don't we still have to work?" Shen Juan curled his lips, "Do you really think that staying on the set to film is considered a break?"

"At least it's a lot easier than it is now, isn't it?"

Shen Juan sighed helplessly.

She was right. It was indeed a lot easier to stay on the set and film than to fly around the world to promote the album.

But at the end of the day, it’s still work.

The good thing is that you can easily earn tens of millions.

So you should just finish filming the movie honestly. Once you have made enough money, you will have plenty of opportunities to rest in the future.
