Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 23: Let's be in the same frame

It was still a boring day of running announcements.

I took a flight in the morning and landed at Hongqiao International Airport at noon. I had a simple lunch near the airport. In the afternoon, I met with the director of "So Cute We Are" Mao Deshu in a cafe. We briefly talked about the story framework and character settings. After confirming the shooting schedule,
At 6:30 in the evening, Shen Juan, with her makeup done, came to the West Bund Art Center, known as the "ceiling of contemporary art in Shanghai", to attend Dior Blues Night.

As soon as they got off the car, the creative and colorful projections on the building's exterior walls presented an amazing visual feast for Shen Juan and others who had rushed to the scene after a long journey.

Following the staff, we stepped onto the corridor decorated with blue traditional Chinese lanterns and walked into the party venue, where we saw twelve classic works from Mr. Dior's era.

They are quietly placed there, explaining his fascination with blue, the exclusive color of the French royal family.

I can only say that Dio is worthy of being Dio.

The blue-blooded luxury hotel is worthy of its name.

This wonderful Dior Blues Night was indeed the most high-end, stylish, and influential gala evening that Shen Juan had ever attended.

The star lineup invited to attend is also very luxurious.

Yang Ying, who was officially announced as the brand ambassador of Dior China in April this year, Huang Xuan, who was officially announced as the ambassador of the same title in May this year, Zhao Liying, who is trying to get in touch with Dior after changing her agent, trying to get the blue-blood title to enter the fashion circle and improve her artist status, and Wang Luodan, Wang Likun, Wang Ziwen, Huang Jingyu, Chen Feiyu, Zhang Huiwen and others who are in a similar situation to Shen Juan and are licking the cake
The only flaw may be that there is no big star to support the team.

But to be frank, among this group of veterans in the domestic entertainment industry, there are only a few who can really compete.

Although respecting the elderly and loving the young is a traditional virtue, it does not apply everywhere and in all situations.

At least Shen Juan doesn't have a good impression of some old seniors who are just trying to gain fame and like to lecture young people.

It's just that they have been in this circle for a longer time. If you really compare them, their qualities in all aspects, especially their character, may not be as good as those of the current young handsome guys.

"Teacher, please look to the right!"

"Please smile! Yes, smile!"

"Left hand side! Teacher, please look to the left hand side!"

"Front-side, front-side! A few more front-side pictures!"

Here, Shen Juan was standing in front of the Dior LOGO wall with a great, dignified and cold face, accepting the overwhelming flash of light with a firm look and expressionless face.

Then, under the loud requests and demands of various media photographers, I kept changing my shooting poses and angles to meet their needs as much as possible and seek the opportunity to create another red carpet photo that will go viral.

On the other side, Chen Feiyu, who had just returned to China after graduating from high school in the United States, looked at the flashing media area and couldn't help but reveal an envious look.

As Chen Kaige's son, our Arthur bears pressure and expectations that outsiders can hardly imagine.

Because of this, Arthur, who has strict family education and cannot sit at the table to eat, needs to always pay attention to the camera and the surrounding movements, always pay attention to his words and actions, observe social etiquette, and maintain the elegance of our Chen family.

Therefore, from the moment Shen Juan walked into the inner field accompanied by sporadic exclamations, he had actually noticed this returning idol who was about the same age as him.

But I never went up to say hello.

On the one hand, it was because under the deliberate arrangement of the agency, he established a cool and aloof Bking persona similar to Wu Jiaheng and needed to maintain his image in front of the media.

On the other hand because
Well, although I don't want to admit it, this young idol who has been making waves in the domestic entertainment industry recently does have a face that male stars of the same sex don't want to get close to.

Arthur was afraid that if he accidentally appeared in the same frame with him, he would be compared to him and look like a bamboo pole. Then, his team would use it to market and criticize him, and publicly torture and punish him in the Weibo fan circle.

It's a small matter to embarrass yourself, but it's a big matter to embarrass Daddy.

He doesn't want to be unable to eat at the table for the rest of his life.

The mental journey of second-generation stars is always so complicated.

After attending the Blues Night and showing off in front of Dior China's top management, Shen Juan only stayed in Shanghai for one night before returning to Beijing, where he worked diligently on composing songs for the finals of Produce 101 Season and the subsequent rounds of competition tracks for Hip Hop China.

Just five days later, it was time to record a new round of eliminations for Hip-Hop in China.

"Brother Juan, have you been walking on the red carpet these two days? I mean, I saw a lot of videos and photos of you on Weibo, Damn! You've made Brother Juan famous! The comment section is full of pretty girls and hot girls praising you for being f**king handsome!" Nuomi's mouth, which used to stutter when it saw a girl, couldn't stop when it saw Shen Juan, as if he wanted to express all his thoughts about his brother during this period at once.

"So you can't date now? Um, I mean, idols can't date, right? I see Lu Han and Wu Jiaheng are both like this."

"Have you memorized all the lyrics? This time we have to sing the whole song, which is much more difficult than the previous a cappella freestyle and 60-second performances." Shen Juan put on a fake smile and did not answer Nuomi's question.

Because of the question he just asked.
The answer is obvious and everyone knows it.

If idols who rely on fans for a living could date, Lu Han’s super topic check-ins would not have dropped from over 300,000 to just over 200,000 in just four months.

"Of course! After all, brother Juan, you trust me so much and are willing to sing this song with me that will be a 100% hit. I mean, you even helped me write the lyrics for my verse. I will definitely not hold you back!" Nuomi patted his chest confidently to make the promise.

"Let's hope so." Shen Juan shrugged noncommittally, then put on his headphones and familiarized himself with the melody and lyrics he was going to sing later, without saying anything more.

As for whether I can advance,
Shen Juan was not worried at all.

There is no way he can't even beat Nuomi.

Nuomi didn't want to defeat his big brother.

But it is hard to say whether this hit song from his previous life, which he made specially for this round of competition, will become popular if it is released online a year in advance in this time and space.

After all, it is the first time to travel through time, so it is normal to be cautious about the changes in the world line caused by the butterfly effect.

However, Shen Juan actually knows that whether a song can become popular is often not determined by the singer himself.

In fact, even if the biggest and most famous singers make some popular shxt-type pop songs to cater to the market, they cannot guarantee that the songs will become popular.

So just keep a calm mind, do your best and leave the rest to fate.

Worrying about these meaningless things is just a waste of time.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the recording officially began.

The first group of contestants to compete were Shehui Gai, a representative underground rapper from Sichuan Province, and a tall model with a middle-parted hair who looked like an idol.

Dialect rap VS Mandarin rap.

Although Shen Juan himself prefers Mandarin, he has to admit that Gai's strength in all aspects should not be underestimated.

No wonder he became one of the double champions of this season despite the shady dealings. He must be quite capable.

The final result was as everyone expected. All three groups of producers voted for Guy, making him the first contestant to advance in this round.

The recording continued in an orderly manner.

However, in the subsequent rounds of performances, apart from the song "Time" sung by Xiao Qinglong and Huizi which made Shen Juan's eyes light up, the performances of the other contestants were mostly mediocre, and in the end they probably didn't even get many shots in the main film.

There is no way around it. This is the first program in which hip-hop entered the mainstream, and the contestants’ abilities are so uneven.

If we want to truly achieve the goal of letting a hundred flowers bloom, we will have to wait until the next few years. Of course, it is hard to say how many dregs and scum there will be among these "flowers".

After all, underground rappers will understand.

If the things you do can be seen by others, then why should you stay underground all your life?

Next, it’s time for today’s highlight.

The names of Shen Juan and Nuomi were called out on the radio.

For a moment, everyone, including the director outside the camera, perked up and prepared to welcome the performance of the two.
