Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 207 The Moon is Closed Tonight

In the relaxed and joyful atmosphere of chatting and playing, time soon came to noon. After eating Mr. Huang’s special scallion oil noodles, everyone in the Mushroom House bid farewell to several leading actors of the crew of "A Good Show" in the drizzle.

Except Wang Xun.

Because a violin artist he particularly likes is coming to visit the Mushroom House tonight, he chooses to stay one more day and work for the Mushroom House for another day without pay.

In the afternoon, the two female guests, led by Shen Juan and Peng Yuchang, went to the fields to catch snails, which was also quite interesting. It was much more interesting than doing farm work.

In the evening, because there was a dish that needed to be slowly stewed, Huang and He called on everyone who was watching Huang Lei cooking in the kitchen to come to the pavilion to enjoy the drama "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land" performed by the two of them.

"How romantic!" Yang Ying and Ni Ni, the two girls, applauded and exclaimed, continuously providing emotional value.

"Oh, it's great! I've really never seen it before. I've only been watching the video, and I've never seen it live like this!" Wang Xun supported the event with all his might. After so many years in the industry, he can say that flattery is a piece of cake for him.

Shen Juan and Peng Yuchang sat quietly aside, killing time, with no expression on their faces.

Seeing this, Teacher He, in order to make Huang Lei happy, euphemistically called their silence "stunned".

If we give them some special effects in later stage, coupled with this sentence, it would probably really create a stunned atmosphere.

But to be honest, this is the situation.
Shen Juan really didn't have any special feelings.

Mainly because after becoming familiar with Huang Lei, no matter what drama or role he plays, Shen Juan will be affected by the Huang Xiaochu filter and will easily be distracted from the role.

Therefore, it’s best not to appear on variety shows too often. Even if you do, it’s best not to establish a character for yourself that is too deeply rooted in people’s hearts, because once the show becomes a big hit, this character will most likely become a fixed label on the artist that he or she can never get rid of.

This is fatal for an actor.

Fortunately, Shen Juan doesn't appear in many variety shows, and he never deliberately tries to create show effects. At most, he is cueed by Teacher He to sing and play the piano for everyone in the evening to show off his musical talent.

(The division of labor among the people in the Mushroom House: Huang Lei is responsible for cooking and sharing life philosophy, He Jiong is responsible for leading the chat rhythm and cheering, Peng Peng is responsible for hard work, and Shen Juan mainly plays the role of artificial music and modeling)

So there is absolutely no such worry.

"Come on, friends, let's eat!"

“Another great meal!”

It had been completely dark for a long time, and the cooking process, which had been busy for half a day, finally came to an end.

All the dishes on the table have been served at this moment.

Braised pork with preserved vegetables, braised pork, crucian carp soup, braised carp, fried river shrimp, braised eggplant.
Listen to the wow sound.

Although in terms of appearance, there is nothing wrong with it.

But Shen Juan, who was experienced in food tasting, knew that when eating dishes made by Huang Lei, one must not be fooled by their appearance.

After all, this old veteran, whose side job is more important than his identity as an actor, has made many amazing dishes that look great but have a hard-to-describe taste. His main point is that everyone has their own responsibilities. He is responsible for making the dishes look good, and the people who eat them are responsible for saying they are delicious.

Everyone took their seats under the pavilion.

A group of people sat around the table. Before having dinner, they naturally raised their glasses to thank Chef Huang who had been busy in the kitchen for a long time and brought delicious food to everyone.

"Thank you, Teacher Huang!" Everyone raised their glasses.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone, and thank you to my Juan, my Peng, and my Jiong, I love you!" Huang Lei said while clinking glasses with everyone with a smile.

So the group of people began to happily enjoy the delicious food that Huang Lei had spent a lot of time and energy to prepare.

As one of the owners of the Mushroom House, Shen Juan took the initiative to stand up and add a bowl of soup to the two new guests today.

As for why he didn't pick up any food for them, it was because Shen Juan wasn't sure which of the dishes on the table were edible, so it was better to choose the soup which was least likely to go wrong.

Why not add more soup for Wang Xun?
Because he was a guest yesterday and a servant today.

After Yang Ying thanked Shen Juan, she took the lead in picking up the bowl and tasting it, "Oh my god! It's so delicious!"

Ni Ni also agreed.

“The taste is just right, not too salty or too bland.”

Huang Lei smiled with satisfaction.

Then, under Huang Lei's gaze, Yang Ying ate the braised pork that Ni Ni had ordered last night, and then contributed one of the best acting scenes of her life.

"This braised pork is definitely one of the best professional Shanghai dishes." She said with a smile, but it was not visible because she was chewing.

Seeing this, Ni Ni also took a bite with great interest, but did not rush to give her evaluation. Instead, she quietly picked up another piece of fish before offering her praise.

“This fish is delicious!”

However, the sharp-eyed Shen Juan noticed that as soon as she praised the fish for being delicious, she immediately picked up the vegetables and stuffed them into her mouth.

It seems that everyone is working hard!
So Shen Juan, who was drinking crucian carp soup, did not want to be outdone and said, "This soup is perfect!", and completed the copyright registration of this sentence before Teacher He.

Both Teacher He and Huang Lei were amused.

Others may really regard praising Huang Lei as their job, after all, they all received money.

But Shen Juan just thought it was fun.

Isn't it just flattery to make fools happy?

Who wouldn't?

Anyway, I'll cheat as many people as I can.

Perform a little longer and you can eat less.

I’d better save some space for the takeaway later.

"Hey, Xiao Juan, how did you and Ni'er know each other?" Teacher He saw that the atmosphere between Shen Juan and Ni Ni was quite harmonious and natural, and it felt like they had known each other for a long time, so he asked about some of their past stories.

Ni Ni glanced at Shen Juan, and Shen Juan smiled.

Then Ni Ni turned around and smiled at Teacher He and explained, "Actually, it was at a brand event last year. That was the first time we officially met."

"She and I are both Tiffany's spokespeople," Shen Juan added.

Ni Ni smiled and continued, "Then I met him again at a Tiffany brand event in New York last month. You have no idea how many of his fans were outside shouting and screaming just to see him. When he got out of the car, the whole place went crazy."

"How do you know if you're not outside?"

"You can hear the shouting outside even from inside!" "And then what?" He Jiong thought that this narrative method of sharing stories from other people's perspectives was quite interesting.

"Then he came in majestically, escorted by a large group of people. At that moment, almost everyone at the scene stopped what they were doing and looked in his direction. The aura he exuded was really powerful and attractive."

"That's because there are two Tiffany CEOs standing next to me, and I'm just taking advantage of the power of others." Shen Juan joked.

"Whether you are just taking advantage of the power of the tiger, we as bystanders know it. When did you become so humble?"

Teacher He seemed to have remembered something, and said with an expression of sudden enlightenment: "Oh, it's the time when it was on the hot search! I remember that this matter seemed to have been on the hot search at the time. What was Xiao Juan? "

"A popular lover from Asia, all the girls in New York come here just for him." Peng Peng, a loyal fan of Shen Juan, added cheerfully, "Juan Ge used the same phrase in his surprise concert in Times Square. My Juan Ge is really popular in the United States!"

"I've seen that video too, it's really cool! Those foreign girls were all screaming like crazy!" Yang Ying really thinks Shen Juan is awesome, and she also really envies Shen Juan.

If she had such fame and strength, she would have left Huang Xiaoming and gone solo long ago. Why would she have to give birth to a child for him and tie him down completely?
"Let's end this awkward topic here." Shen Juan smiled and waved his hand.

Maybe he would feel secretly happy when seeing these things in private, but he would only feel embarrassed when mentioning them in front of the camera. After all, not everyone likes to see him show off.

After dinner, everyone went into the inner room to chat.

Not long after, the violin artist Lu Siqing mentioned by Wang Xun also came over.

At the call of Teacher He, Shen Juan used the Mushroom House's electronic piano and his violin to play "Golden Hour", a song that has been very popular in China recently, especially on Douyin.

Although the equipment is not good, it has a unique flavor.

Then, everyone drank wheat drinks in teacups while laughing and chatting.

We can talk about almost anything.

Huang Lei and Wang Xun shared their experiences when they were young, Yang Ying and Ni Ni shared their views on love and values, Shen Juan shared his recent experiences and behind-the-scenes stories in the United States, and Teacher He and Peng Yuchang acted as supporting actors, cooperating with everyone's sharing and cheering for them.

We chatted until 11:30 in the evening. Seeing that it was getting late, we all went upstairs to prepare for bed.

Yang Ying went into the bathroom first, while Ni Ni was enjoying the fresh air on the balcony. She went in to use the bathroom after Yang Ying finished taking a shower.

Shen Juan walked over after seeing Ni Ni. Neither of them spoke, but just looked up at the night sky quietly.

Maybe because of the rain, the weather today is not very good and there is no trace of the moon in the dark night sky.

After a few minutes.

Ni Ni suddenly turned around and looked at Shen Juan's calm profile. Under the influence of alcohol, she finished the topic that she had not finished talking about downstairs just now: "In fact, I told myself a long time ago that I must figure out what I want before falling in love. Later, I finally got an answer.

I don't think I need a drinking buddy, because eating, drinking, shopping, watching movies, holidays, kissing, quarreling and breaking up, these things are too empty for me.

What I really need is an ally in the battlefield of life, someone who can resonate with me and be inclusive, who can continuously provide each other with stable love and emotional value, who has good conduct and education, and whose values are consistent with mine, who always leans towards me emotionally, and who can help me discover a better self when I am mediocre and hopeless.

There are some things that I can’t say to my parents, and I’m not sure how to say them to my friends. Telling them to each other is like finding a harbor for my soul that has nowhere to go.”

"If you have so many requirements, it will be difficult for you to find a suitable partner." Shen Juan smiled silently.

"If you can't find it, then you can't find it. It's not wrong to be alone for a while. Being single has its advantages."

"Really?" Shen Juan almost used the catchphrase "I don't believe it" that he learned from Bass.

"Really." Ni Ni's tone was very firm.

Yang Ying's voice happened to come at this moment.

"I'm done washing, Ni'er you can go wash now!"

"Then I'll go take a shower first." Ni Ni said softly.

"Well, go ahead and get some rest early. I'm also going back to my room to sleep." Shen Juan turned around and prepared to leave.

"Hey, that Shen Juan." Ni Ni suddenly shouted.

Shen Juan stopped, turned around and looked at her.

"what happened?"

"After a whole day today, the recording experience was actually quite pleasant." Ni Ni looked up at the dark night sky and said with a smile: "The only regret may be that I didn't see the moon tonight."

After a moment of silence, Shen Juan replied with a faint smile on his face: "It's okay. Although the moon is not open tonight, I can say good night to you on her behalf."

Ni Ni was stunned for a moment, then she smiled with some emotion and as if relieved.

The phrase "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight" does not suit her, and she is no longer at the age where she can boldly express her love.

And the most important thing is that there is no moon tonight, so this sentence does not fit the situation and cannot be used.

But Shen Juan seemed to know what she was thinking at the moment and responded in his own way.

This behavior and this feeling are really seductive.

Even though she knew that Shen Juan was not a good dating partner, it was impossible that all of his rumored girlfriends and amateur girlfriends were fake. The rumors and gossip that people in the circle were exposed to were much more authentic than those of the people outside the circle.

But before you really find a life ally who perfectly matches your values, spending some quality time with him will surely be a memorable experience.

She needs and desires to have good memories.
