Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 244: Box office in hand, laugh at the mad dog

With the long-awaited return of the male lead of "Better Days", the filming in Chongqing is back on track.

Another school bullying-themed movie "Sadness Is Like a River" starring Shen Juan and which is about to be released also held a "Sadness Experiment" press conference in Beijing.

In fact, the press conference was originally scheduled for the end of August, but because Shen Juan, the most important member of the film, was on a schedule in South Korea at that time and had no time to attend, it had to be postponed for a week and set the date on September 9th so that Shen Juan, who was far away in the Chongqing crew, could participate via video link.

Director Luo Luo, producer screenwriter and original author Guo Jingming, heroine Ren Min, second male lead Xin Yunlai, as well as third female lead Zhang Ruonan and third female lead Zhu Danni.

The main creative team is basically here.

Then there was a life-size standee of Shen Juan, who was two heads taller than Guo Jingming, occupying the C position on the stage.

Of course, Shen Juan himself had no objection to this.

After all, he can't come to the scene, so it's normal to put up a human-shaped stand to make up the numbers.

But he still hopes that after the press conference, his human-shaped standee can be properly handled by the organizer, and not be stolen by female fans of his dreams and used for all kinds of YY.

Because his human-shaped standee was stolen by fans last time and it became a hot topic.

And when it is found by the organizer.
Not only was there lipstick marks all over her body, but even her crotch was red, which led to people making fun of her:
Juanzi's chastity and innocence are completely gone.

In fact, Shen Juan didn't mind being fantasized by those dreamy girls. It was none of his business what with Wang Feng growing on their bodies.

But he was very bothered about bringing this matter to light.

After all, his return to China and the domestic entertainment industry from overseas is like a child returning home after working outside for many years.

No matter how much fun and recklessness you have outside, you have to behave yourself and act like a good kid in front of your parents and relatives.

This is a habit ingrained in everyone's bones.

It's not what those brainless black fans say, that they are happy and wild abroad, but when they return to China, they put on a pretentious face and look down on fans in China, blah blah
Isn’t this pure cerebral palsy?

On the stage, the host was asking Guo Jingming about his original intention in writing the story "Sadness Is Like a River".

"A female friend of mine in high school told me about what happened to her. It was actually the same thing that happened to the girl in the book. She didn't dare to tell her family at the time, so she asked me if I could lend her money because she had a big problem. Later, I accompanied her through everything."

Xiao Si told the story in a leisurely manner and was very good at making up stories.

Of course, Shen Juan is also good in this regard. This is the experience he learned from his two predecessors, David Tao and Jay Chou.

People love to listen to stories.

If that’s the case, why not give your creations a fictional story?
So Shen Juan wrote "In My Blood" because he was suffering from mild depression caused by too much pressure, wrote "Lucky Me" because he had the most beautiful fantasy about love and marriage, and composed the theme song "Celestial" for Pokémon because Pokémon accompanied him through a wonderful childhood.
Except for some songs that are difficult to write stories about, the creative background of almost every song is not simple.

This also adds a lot of extra storytelling, art and brilliance to his Underrated.

So this also proves a point:
Just as you never know what lyrics a singer will write for the sake of rhyme, you never know what public figures will say for the sake of showing off.

"Sometimes when I see similar videos online, I feel very uncomfortable. I can't even last ten seconds. I get very angry and turn off the video."

Guo Jingming, who had done his homework in advance, began to share his views on school bullying.

"What about Teacher Shen Juan? What do you think?"

"Me?" Shen Juan didn't expect that he would be cueed.

"Correct."

Shen Juan didn't even think about it and blurted out two famous quotes:

"It's so infuriating! He must be severely punished!"

“Who has the ability to get away with breaking the law?”

The following is the normal press conference process, sharing the interesting stories behind the scenes during the filming, and sharing why a new cast was used except Shen Juan.
About an hour later, Shen Juan hung up the video call, and the film launch conference finally came to an end.

Actually, although Shen Juan didn't seem to be very interested in this drama, he didn't attend campus activities, press conferences, and even had no plans to participate in the subsequent roadshow.

On the 21st, the movie was released nationwide and its premiere was held in Beijing. On the 22nd, he recorded the National Day Gala. On the 23rd, he stayed in Beijing to shoot the solo cover of the November issue of "VOGUE" recommended to him by LV. On the evening of the 24th, he participated in the live broadcast of the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, and then went straight back to the Chongqing crew to continue filming.

But this play is still very important to him.

Even the capital of the domestic film and television industry and actors of the same age are paying close attention to the box office performance of this movie.

Because the box office performance of this group of young actors born in the 90s in the film industry is truly hard to describe.

Take the total box office data of some movies as an example:
Huang Zitao ranked eighth, and the movie "Portrait of a 19-Year-Old in Summer" in which he played the leading role earned a box office of million.

(This movie is pretty awesome, I won’t go into details about why it’s awesome, lest someone says I’m a hater)

Ranked seventh is Ou Hao, who has two No. 1 movies with a box office of 10 million.

Ranked sixth is Chen Xuedong, ranked fifth is Dong Zijian, and ranked fourth is Wang Dalu.

Ranked third is Bai Jingting. The movie "Whose Youth Is Not Confused" he filmed in the early days of his debut had a box office of 1.8 million.

Ranked second is Wang Junkai, whose movie "The Little Shop of Sorrow" released last year earned 2.2 million yuan.

Then, Wu Jiaheng, who had been in a fierce battle with Hupu JR recently, won the first place with an absolute advantage.

(Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons 16.5 billion, So Young 3.3 million, Summer Is War 1.5 million, There Is a Place 2.8 million.)
Yang Yang, Lu Han and Zhang Yixing have no leading role in any movie.

The goddess who was outshined by Kris was fleeced.

Even as late as 2024, Lu Han's fans are still trying to steal Jing Boran's achievements in "Grave Robbers' Chronicles".

As for Lay, let’s just stay as the Confucius of the domestic entertainment industry, appear on more shows and cultivate a few idols.

All I can say is that although the top stars all want to break into the film industry to become famous, the film industry doesn’t take them seriously at all.

Otherwise, Zeng Guoxiang and Xu Yuezhen would not have kicked Lu Han away in such an almost humiliating manner, and instead welcomed the younger and more capable Shen Juan.

Therefore, many people, including many investors in the circle, do not want to see "A River of Sorrow" become a big hit at the box office.

Because once Shen Juan has established achievements in the field of acting that no one else can copy, then they will have no way to fight against Shen Juan and will be completely finished.

YZ District Aquarium Trading Market.

The set of "Better Days".

After finishing filming the classic scene of Xiaobei and Chen Nian watching the goldfish, that is, Chen Nian looking at the goldfish and Xiaobei looking at Chen Nian, Shen Juan sat in the rest area on the set drinking water while waiting for his scene.

Zhou Ye gradually lost his mind while looking at his phone.

Shen Juan gently smoothed her frown.

"what happened?"

Zhou Ye felt his cheeks getting hot. "There are many people online mocking your acting skills, saying that you should just go back to singing and not follow Jay Chou's old path."

Shen Juan smiled, "The movie hasn't even been released yet, are you anxious to say that my acting skills are not good enough just based on a few trailers?"

"Here! Look for yourself!"

Shen Juan took the phone and saw a three-minute video titled "Shen Juxing's acting is really hard to describe". He clicked play and took a quick look.

I didn't quite understand it.

But after reading the comments of netizens, it seems that he acts silly, like a wooden man without spirituality.

But the problem is, isn't that what a play within a play is all about?

He was really curious about whether these netizens had watched the drama he starred in and whether they understood the background of the story.

Why are you all so confident?
Zhou Ye glanced at Shen Juan and asked with some concern, "Will what they said affect the box office?"

"Of course." "Then what should we do?"

"It doesn't matter. My fans won't be affected by them. When the time comes, I can just watch the mad dogs with the box office in hand." Shen Juan returned the phone to Zhou Ye and continued calmly, "Now all the traffic belongs to me. It's impossible for them to just watch my first theatrical movie being released without intervening."

"Isn't your current situation very difficult?"

"Don't worry, I've been here all the way. The rise of a new elite is bound to involve bloodshed." Shen Juan gently rubbed Zhou Ye's head.

For some reason I have the feeling of fighting against the wild dogs in the circle on my own, and I miss it a little.

"What kind of brother are you?" Zhou Ye lowered his head and glanced at him quietly, "We are obviously the same age, okay?"

"Okay, we are the same age. Now here comes the question." Shen Juan suddenly lowered his head and looked into Zhou Ye's eyes, with a gentle smile on his face. "You think I am neither a brother nor a younger brother, then what am I?"

"You are."

"What is it?"

"You are Juanjuan!" Zhou Ye smiled with his eyes narrowed.

Shen Juan was suddenly speechless.

“I found you really.”

"Really what?"

"It's really cute."

Shen Juan also laughed and followed suit.

9 month 6 number.

Shen Juan took a leave to go to Shanghai to attend the ELLE 30th Anniversary Fashion Gala.

I didn't want to come at first.

After all, it’s not a good idea to ask for leave right after joining the team.

But who made him owe ELLE a favor unilaterally?
The September solo cover of ELLE's issue that specifically asked Dior to pay for him this year is of great value.

This not only allowed Shen Juan to take a big step forward in the domestic fashion circle, but also allowed him to directly leapfrog to become a top fashion icon at the level of the Four Dans and Two Bings.

Because only big stars and top supermodels of this level are eligible to appear on the September covers of the five major magazines.

(Except Shen Juan, the domestic fashion circle's celebrity status classification is: the four Dans, the two Bings, and Chun Ge are in the first tier, Wu Jiaheng is in the second tier, the third tier is empty, and other top stars and 85 flowers are in the fourth tier)

Take off from Jiangbei in the morning and land in Hongqiao at noon.

At 6pm, after Shen Juan finished her makeup, she drove to the venue of this year's ELLE Fashion Awards:
Magic City Center Building.

"Because it is ELLE's 30th anniversary celebration, we have invited many big names, nearly a hundred stars, and over a thousand guests. The star-studded lineup is even more exaggerated than Taobao's Scream Night and Tencent's Starlight Awards." Yang Yangjin once again emphasized the importance of this red carpet.

"What about the red carpet order?"

"Li Yuchun will be the last one to perform. You should perform before her."

"Okay." Shen Juan sighed helplessly.

As expected, I still can’t defeat the Spring Emperor.

By the way, is this guy really that powerful?
I still remember that later on, Jiangsu TV let her be the last performer on New Year's Eve, but she ended up being ranked last in the ratings of the entire network at the same time period, and she single-handedly lowered the ratings of the entire Jiangsu TV station.

So is it possible that:

Her role is actually similar to that of Zhang Dada.

After the Bazaar C-snatching incident, the organizer let Zhang Dada, who was not afraid of being scolded, occupy the C position alone, which dispelled the concerns of the stars.

Similarly, having Chunchun, the top star of China's first generation talent show, be the finale can also reduce many unnecessary disputes and troubles.

Otherwise, in the era of traffic where the Four Dans and Two Bings gradually retreat behind the scenes and many competitors compete for the spotlight, the group of 85 flowers led by Yang Mi, Zhao Liying and Fei Fei will probably recreate the quarrels between the Four Dans and Two Bings in order to be the finale of the red carpet.

After talking about the red carpet, Shen Juan lowered his head and continued to browse his phone.

Dong Ge’s honey trap incident is still continuing to ferment.

Many male compatriots in the domestic entertainment industry, led by Feng Feng, have temporarily suppressed their ladybug spirits for fear of an accident.

Supermodel He Sui, nicknamed "He Xiangu", was photographed by the media appearing in New York to attend an interview for this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

Although the increasingly declining Victoria's Secret Fashion Show has not significantly boosted his popularity, he would still take the time to go if the official invitation came.

After all, every stage counts.

What’s more, it is such a world-class grand stage.

Then, Li Yitong happened to have her birthday today, so he gave her a simple verbal blessing but no gift.

Because I feel like it’s not time to give gifts yet.

Li Yitong didn't force it.

After all, if you actively ask for a gift from someone, its nature changes, and she is not shameless.

But speaking of which, the day before yesterday when Hu Lianxin celebrated her 18th birthday, she took the initiative to call Shen Juan to express her gratitude because she received a gift from Shen Juan.

Shen Juan was waiting for a scene on the set at the time and couldn't hear clearly, but he always felt that something was not right with the girl opposite him.

how to say?

I felt like my whole body was burning, my voice was trembling, and I often had to pause and split a sentence into several parts before I could finish it, like Hakimi in heat.

It's really strange.

Weibo Theater

Nian Shou Mo Yu Zhi Zhen Plus Edition: [A netizen submitted a post saying that Wu Jiaheng has a crush on Shen Juan, gets nervous and shy when he sees Shen Juan, and is also a masochist. What do you think? ]

There are two pictures under the text.

One is a screenshot of Weibo (Mr. Heng: [Too infuriating! Must be severely punished!])
One is a screenshot of the press conference for "A River of Sadness" (Shen Juan: "Too infuriating! Must be severely punished!")
Reviews:

[It's true, sister! Haven't you noticed that WJH has become abnormal since SJ gave him a concussion? It's like he was possessed by a ghost. ]

[I understand. The explosive male hormones of Juanye directly opened the way for Kris to become a female.]

[Jian Ye is awesome! I am great! 】

【According to what you said, Lay also has a crush on Shen Juan, and he also imitated Shen Juan and said "I can sacrifice my life for the stage." 】

[Lay is a secret crush! Haven't you noticed that he hasn't had any scandals in all these years? On the contrary, whenever Shen Juan releases a new song, he promotes it more diligently than anyone else. It's really hard not to wonder if there's something wrong with his sexual orientation.]

[I don’t know whether other people have a crush on Shen Juan, but as an old fan of Wu, I can tell you responsibly that his attitude towards Shen Juan is completely different from his attitude towards other people. Whenever Shen Juan attends an event or party, he will dress up carefully, just like a teenage girl who is going out to meet her crush.]

[B station video link: "Alis丨Who can resist this kind of extreme BE feeling between Bkings who are tired of each other?"]
