Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 225 Breaking Down Doubts and Prejudice

"I used to think that if I didn't succeed, it was a waste of time. Later, I realized that as long as I live my life well, I am cherishing my time. It doesn't matter if I am a late bloomer or never reach the top of the mountain, but I must be happy and sincere. It's no big deal. The world should always allow ordinary people to exist."

The performance, which lasted for an hour, ended quickly.

When Shen Juan finished his farewell speech encouraging fans to work hard and turned to leave the stage, the entire Chiba Ocean Stadium was completely boiling, and everyone's emotions were burning wildly.

at the same time,

Various related hot search press releases and online discussions are also sweeping the entire network at an astonishing speed.

[The atmosphere of golden hour's live show was truly amazing, and Shen Juan's handsomeness in this show was simply beyond measure! ]

[It gave me goosebumps. I really loved seeing everyone screaming for him.]

[This is what world superstars are like. Wherever they go, there are crowds of people. I don’t find it strange that Ying Fei loves him so much. After all, no one can refuse Shen Juan. ]

[Shen Juan’s pop star tastes so good! ]

【Chasing Shen Juan without watching his live show is like cooking without adding salt. 】

[TV idols come and go, but Shen Juan never changes. He will always be my first love and my white moonlight. ]

[Seeing this stage, I can't help but sigh that my charm as a pop star is gradually showing and growing. I can expect a future as a global idol! ]

[My recent stage performance is simply too good. He has a thriving vitality in his live performances, never hides his ambition to climb up, and is calm and sincere in front of the audience. This is a pop star, this is Shen Juan.]

[Every time I watch my idol perform on stage, joy and pride slowly flow through my heart. Who knows, the feeling of watching him step by step towards the light, towards brilliance, towards beauty, as if I have also borrowed his light and heat. ]

Not only the Chinese fans who have watched him along the way are excited, almost all Alovers around the world are proud of Shen Juan.

So what exactly is an idol?

Maybe everyone has a different answer.

But for Shen Juan, being able to bring psychological comfort to fans through his own words and actions can give fans the motivation to move forward and help them become better.

He is undoubtedly a high-quality idol.

He has many flaws and shortcomings.

He will never be the perfect idol.

But he will do the best he can.

This is not only for himself, but also for the fans who always support and love him unconditionally.

The next day, we departed for Haneda International Airport.

Fly to the United States and start a short trip to the United States.

After landing in New York, I took a short break to adjust to the jet lag and also communicated and discussed with Universal staff about the recording of the movie's theme song.

At 20: PM on the th, US time, Shen Juan arrived at the venue of the VMA awards ceremony by car:
Radio City Music Hall, New York.

"So many people!"

The young assistant leaned on the car window and looked outside through the glass, sighing as if he had never seen the world before.

It looks very much like Zhou Xun’s classic emoticon.

"VMA is considered the top-tier award ceremony in North America. It's normal to have more fans coming to watch the fun." Shen Juan also looked out the window. There were indeed a lot of onlookers on both sides of the road. Obviously, most of them wanted to catch a glimpse of their favorite singers.

"I don't know how many of these people are here for you, the boss."

"You'll know soon, won't you?"

Listening to the deafening screams of fans outside the car and looking at the faces that were flushed with excitement, Shen Juan smiled silently as his emotions became increasingly high.

Looking back to this time last year, he should still be preparing for the national finals of "Hip-Hop in China".

His opponents at that time were Pi Jiwan and Gai.

Although I am full of confidence in myself and although things have already turned around, the strong sense of uncertainty about the future still follows me.

No one can predict how the future will develop.

And now?
With Lu Han's self-exposure, Zhang Yixing, Kris and Li Yifeng were eliminated one after another, so there is nothing to be afraid of the cheering boy Cai Xukun.

He no longer has any rivals in the country.

Many things have become different.

Flowers, glory and fame are all within reach. Isn't it just for this moment that we have worked so hard for all this time?

So he took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing rhythm and mood, and was ready to open the door, get out of the car, step onto the bustling red carpet filled with screams and flashes, and welcome the inspection of foreign media and fans.

Not long after, a sudden sharp female voice instantly lit up the entire Sixth Avenue in New York. "Oh my god! It's Alex!"

"Alex is out!!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

"Alex I love you!!"

"Dude, give me a seat!"

"Oh my god! This Asian boy is so handsome!"

"Shxt! Can you please stop pushing and shoving?"

"God damn it! You guys are about to squeeze my implants out! Are all the fans so crazy?"

The media reporters, artists’ fans and passers-by who had been waiting on the red carpet for a long time, as well as those who came simply to watch the fun, all started screaming at this moment.

If we use the rainbow fart rhetoric of domestic fans to describe this scene, it would probably be:
The king arrives and the royal power comes to the audience.

His Majesty the Supreme Emperor arrived in his loyal Big Apple today.

The senior makeup artist, who has worked in the United States for many years and understands the differences in aesthetics between China and the West, and who has accurately found the subtle balance between them, took great pains to tailor a high-end makeup look for Shen Juan today that is extremely visually impactful.

He has a deep, three-dimensional, angular face, a proud body proportion comparable to that of a top international male model, and those deliberately thickened, unruly eyebrows and deep eyes.

Shen Juan, one of the top handsome men in the domestic entertainment industry, is so stunning in the eyes of these foreigners no matter from which angle they admire him.

Although Shen Juan's makeup, styling and personality are different at home and abroad, what remains unchanged is that he can always catch everyone's attention and become the focus of the crowd.

“Holyshxt! I have to admit that Alex always amazes me every time he appears. He gives people a very different feeling, different from everyone else.”

"Maybe this is the cultural shock from across the ocean. He and our American male celebrities have completely different feelings. Why does he always give people such a high-class and noble feeling?"

"He's right. Alex has completely changed my perception of the East. I was influenced by the media and always thought that people there still had long braids! But when I saw Alex at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show last year, I realized how ridiculous I was before."

"China is no longer the China of a hundred years ago. They are developing rapidly. If you still look at China with the eyes of the past, you will only be ridiculed."

"Perhaps after I go back tonight, I should have a comprehensive and new understanding of China."

After getting off the car, the entire outer field was crowded with people and was already surrounded by fans. Shen Juan first greeted his Alovers with a simple heart shape, and then came to the host to accept a live interview that was broadcast live across the United States by the TV station.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this year's VMA red carpet would not be complete without this gentleman."

"He will be performing his hit single at the VMA for the first time tonight. Who is he? He is tall, handsome, elegant, with eyes as bright as stars, and a popular lover from China, Asia, Alex Shen."

"Dude, you have such a sweet mouth!"

In the live broadcast, Shen Juan looks even more elegant and handsome against the backdrop of the dark-skinned host.

"How is it? You are about to perform in front of audiences across the United States and even the world. How do you feel now?" The host handed the microphone to Shen Juan.

"I feel very nervous."

"But you look very calm now."

"Haha, maybe my face looks very deceptive. After all, you know, there is an old saying in China that goes, 'A man with a thunderous chest and a calm face can be promoted to general.' I am making progress in this direction."

Shen Juan specifically spoke in Chinese to indicate his Chinese identity, and then explained it again in English.

Interestingly, many tattoo shop staff have recently stated online that with the rise of Shen Juan, more and more American teenagers have listed Chinese characters as their tattoo options, forcing them to learn Chinese.

What's worse, one person directly tattooed the words "Shen Juan" on his body, which made Shen Juan himself speechless. He quickly tweeted to urge fans to think twice and not to tattoo other people's names on themselves easily.

But to some extent, this can also be considered as cultural export, leading fans around the world to learn Chinese and understand Chinese culture. This is much more awesome than shouting a few slogans at a concert to trigger fans' carnival and facilitate marketing back home.

"Alex, we all know that your album Underrated, released in April, broke many records and is competing with The Greatest Showman soundtrack for the best sales of the year. And tonight you will be performing at the VMAs for the first time. How would you like to describe your past year? Just give a brief description."

"Fantastic! This feeling is simply incomparable and wonderful. I have too many people to thank, but the person I want to thank the most is actually myself. Many people say that people should not be too confident, but I think it's just the opposite. In fact, many times we need to make ourselves more confident, because only in this way can we stimulate our potential as much as possible."

"All I've done so far is to break down the negative perceptions that those prejudiced people have tried to throw at a confident Chinese, a confident yellow man. Maybe they haven't seen such a person before, but now? I let them see it."

"And in fact, minding others expressing themselves loudly is almost a slave mentality. I want to tell you how I see myself. I am the strongest. You should also see yourself in this way. Listen, always stay enterprising, never be satisfied, and never try to block the miracle that belongs to you."

"One last question. I saw on social media that many people say you are their hero. As an idol, you give them endless strength. So who is your hero?"

"My hero? That's a great question, and honestly, I have so many people I could name as the answer to that question, but right now the one that comes to mind is my father."

"Because he is someone I have always respected. So don't bow to life. Your father once held you above his head. Maybe for me, now I have a new goal, that is to become a hero for my future children."

"Thank you for accepting our interview."

"Thank you, see you later."
