Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 258: Little Agent, Mastery
The average daytime temperature in Paris in early October is only about 15 to 20 degrees Celsius. If you only wear one piece of clothing like you do in China, you will inevitably feel the coolness outdoors, especially since it is cloudy today and the perceived temperature is even lower.

After the shooting of LV's global advertising campaign came to a temporary end, Shen Juan came to a street bench near the set and sat down waiting for the end of work and left, and followed the team to the shooting location of Estee Lauder's global advertising campaign.

Two global ads a day.

In order not to affect the progress of domestic film shooting, we have to compress the time to the extreme and use one day as two days.

Because it is still the daily working hours for Parisians, there are not too many pedestrians passing by on the street, and Shen Juan can enjoy a very rare life as an ordinary person.

"Take advantage of this time to rest. The Estee Lauder campaign may have to be filmed until the early morning." Yang Yangjin walked over with two steaming cups of coffee, handed one to Shen Juan, and then sat down next to him.

"Thank you." Shen Juan took the coffee and leaned lazily on the back of the chair. He glanced at Yang Yangjin, who was dressed very fashionably to follow the local customs, and replied with a smile: "You should also take some time to rest. You may have to accompany me to shoot the campaign until the early morning."

“I don’t want to shoot it myself.”

"I don't want to personally communicate with the senior executives and staff of those brands."

"Are you competing with me to see who has an easier job? Aren't you childish?" Yangyang Jin laughed. "The company has already started to promote you as a contemporary pop star and the pop king of Generation Z. Can you be a little more mature?"

"A man stays young until he dies." Shen Juan smiled and looked at his agent, "Besides, I'm just concerned about you. I hope you can live a more relaxed and comfortable life than anyone else."

Yangyang Jin looked at Shen Juan's clear eyes which were as sincere as ever no matter what he said or what he did. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether these were his true words or just his habitual flirting tactics.

His eyes are naturally suited to being an actor.

So after a moment of silence, I chose to escape.

“If a manager can feel relaxed and comfortable at work, it means all the artists under his management are obscure.”

In her opinion, Shen Juan was too fickle.

And he seems to enjoy the feeling of being sought after by everyone and being a popular figure among the ladies.

So it would be very interesting to date a top guy like Shen Juan who has outstanding qualities in all aspects, but Shen Juan himself is definitely not a good dating partner, let alone a reliable partner worthy of entrusting your life to.

At least not yet.

"It means you can only choose between the two easy jobs and the easy career." Shen Juan laughed and joked, "What if I can't make a living forever? Will you work for me forever?"

Yangyang Jin couldn't help but give Shen Juan a blank look.

"You are a little too confident."

"I'm only 20 years old. If I'm not confident now, when will I be confident?"

"Can't you be more calm and reserved like those veteran artists in the circle? Many netizens in China don't like your flamboyant personality. If you can be more humble and low-key, and if you have fewer scandals, your current popularity among fans will only be higher."

"The fan traffic gained by using a fake persona that caters to the market will eventually dissipate over time. Most people can only control and maintain things within their own capabilities. Moreover," Shen Juan shrugged, "to gain true freedom, you need the courage to be hated."

"Many people, including myself, have lacked the courage to be hated since childhood, which often leads to inexplicable internal friction even though we know it is the other party's problem. Caring too much about other people's opinions and looks will only make us walk on thin ice and become anxious and depressed."

"I discussed this issue with teacher Zhang Songwen when I was filming a while ago. He said that highly sensitive people are more suitable to be actors in the performing arts industry because they can feel more emotions, but they are not suitable to be stars on stage because they often cannot withstand the pressure brought to them by public opinion and doubts from the outside world."

"So many outstanding actors will take the initiative to reduce exposure after becoming famous. This is not only to maintain the mystery of the actors and prolong their careers, but also to protect their own mental health. The public opinion in today's society is enough to destroy 99.9% of normal people, including many public figures who are deeply troubled by it."

"Are you a highly sensitive person? But I see that you don't seem to care at all about the bad comments from the outside world!" Yang Yangjin was a little surprised. It was the first time she knew about this.

"It was true before, probably during puberty, but it's much better now. Besides, how could I not care about all those bad reviews online? I just pretend not to care." Shen Juan took a sip of coffee.

"Celebrities cannot expose their weaknesses. Do you believe that if I say in an interview with the media today that I am under great psychological pressure and may have depression, I will receive a lot of negative comments tomorrow to try to destroy me? Celebrities treat their fans like their parents, and they only report good news and not bad news, unless you want to act pitiful and abuse your fans, urging them to send you living expenses, but that is obviously not something an artist of my level needs to consider."

Yangyangjin fell silent.

It seems to be true.
Although Lehua, like other companies, has issued all kinds of marketing press releases in order to market and package its artists, these naturally include fan-abusing copywriting.

But Shen Juan himself has never cooperated with the company in related business operations, and has never played the victim in front of the camera.

Even during the period when he was being dissed and insulted by the stinky dogs in the circle, he only dissed back on stage and tried his best not to argue with that group of people in private.

In a sense, people with his personality traits are naturally suited to the entertainment industry:

The idol, who possesses top-notch looks but a wild, cool and awesome personality, does not give face to anyone, allowing fans and audiences to see completely different stars, in stark contrast to those traffic stars who are timid in front of the camera for fear of saying the wrong thing and have completely homogeneous personalities.

So much so that many netizens have begun to criticize other traffic, asking them why they can't be more real?
It has annoyed many companies and artists.

You initially asked Shen Juan to be humble and low-key, and now you ask us to be more real. What do you want?

Shen Juan is your father! Why do you praise him so much?
It can only be said that once a person becomes famous, he or she will always attract the jealousy and hatred of others from all kinds of weird angles.

"So Yangyang, do you still think it's a good choice for me to be like other popular stars and be a modest gentleman as required by the company? I can deceive 10,000 people, but if I want to continue my career as long as possible, I must release some of my original personality to relieve pressure, or simply reduce exposure and keep a low profile."

Yangyangjin came back to his senses from his contemplative memories, sighed, and whispered: "You didn't completely convince me, but I admit that what you said does make sense."

In today's era of increasingly fierce social competition, only artists with unique personality can quickly gain popularity.

Most domestic entertainment agencies are still too conservative and require their artists to speak as little as possible.

I would rather do nothing than make a mistake.

But there are excuses.

After all, they know whether their artists have the ability or not. If they don’t have the ability, it’s better to keep a low profile. “I know you can understand me.”

"Please don't say things that might suggest you're trying to pick up girls."

Having said that, Yang Yangjin still unconsciously glanced at Shen Juan's profile. Unexpectedly, Shen Juan seemed to have noticed something and suddenly turned around, looking at her with slightly narrowed eyes, catching this senior girl who always likes to use maturity as an excuse to cover up her cowardice.

"Is it possible that you have something wrong?"

"I have something to hide?" Yang Yangjin swallowed and tried to at least look calm.

"Or maybe you've been single for too long and are too sensitive to things like this." Shen Juan pursued relentlessly.

"I'm sensitive?"

"Has no one ever told you these things?"

"What words?"

Shen Juan couldn't help laughing.

It turns out that this manager sister's self-defense mechanism is to mindlessly repeat the other party's words and ask back questions.
So he didn't rush to speak in response, but just leisurely raised the corner of his mouth and quietly looked at the streets of Paris in the distance. The two of them were silent for a while.

In the end, it was Yang Yang Jin who broke the quiet atmosphere that made her feel more and more awkward and embarrassed.

“Do you know the EMA Music Awards?”

In the end, she tried to change the subject by talking about work.

"Of course, isn't it the European VMA? Why? Has the list of nominees for this year been announced?"

"Well, it just came out today. You've received a total of five nominations this time, including Best Pop Artist, Best New Artist, Best Look, Best Live Performance, and Most Popular Singer. Your number of nominations is second only to Camila Cabello, who received six nominations, and tied for second with Ariana Grande Malone."

"Europeans like me so much?" Shen Juan was a little surprised. "They can make me equal to these people?"

"It's not that exaggerated. The awards you were nominated for were all minor ones. You weren't nominated for the big awards that really had gold content."

"That's a big improvement. If I were in the United States, I would probably only get the Popularity Award and the Newcomer Award."

"That's normal. After all, the competition in the North American music scene is more intense. And even though the organizing committee over there didn't suppress you openly and said they welcome singers from all over the world to pursue their dreams on the American stage, they certainly won't give you an advantage in the judging process. Some people's arrogance is ingrained in their bones and can't be changed."

Shen Juan spread his hands with an indifferent look on his face. He thought clearly: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I am on the route of traffic and popularity, so I just need to capture the hearts of young people. There is no need to force myself to please those who will never become my fans."

"It would be best if you could think so."

"Even dreaming has its limits."

"You have achieved so much, both in terms of your achievements and your status, that I never even dreamed of before. It has already exceeded my expectations."

"Maybe it's because you haven't met me before." Shen Juan said with a smile in a joking tone.

"Yeah, so now I've learned a lot, and even have a lot more material for my dreams." Yang Yangjin noticed that the assistant was running towards them, so he continued, "Let's go, our car is here, and we have to change places to start shooting the second global commercial today."

"Would you like to enjoy the wonderful afternoon tea time a little longer?" Shen Juan smiled and looked at Yang Yangjin who had already stood up.

"There will be plenty of afternoon tea time for you to enjoy slowly in the future, but not today." Yang Yangjin smiled helplessly. Seeing that Shen Juan was reluctant to get up, she sighed pretentiously, then stepped forward, held his left hand and pulled him up. "Estee Lauder is already waiting for us. It's not good to let them wait too long."

"Okay, but why are your hands so cold?"

"My hands are this temperature all year round."

"Are you suggesting I give you a pair of gloves?"

“I’m really curious about your thinking process.”

"Oh, if you're not hinting at me to give you the gloves, then you're hinting at me doing this?" Shen Juan approached Yangjin Zhuoma as if he had suddenly realized something, and then with lightning speed he grabbed the small hand of the senior girl beside him and put it into his own pocket.

Yang Yangjin was stunned for a moment, and immediately she felt a warm big hand wrapping around her cold right hand, continuously transmitting heat to her.

"What are you doing?" Her voice trembled slightly and her cheeks gradually became hot.

The effect of free heating is a bit too good.

"Your hands are so cold and you don't wear gloves. As a boss, you need to be responsible for the health of your employees." Shen Juan looked as if it was a matter of course.

"Strictly speaking, you are not my boss." Yang Yangjin's rationality told her that she should not get too close to Shen Juan, but her emotion told her that she should enjoy this rare and wonderful feeling as much as possible.

"Then I will get along with you in a different capacity. As a friend, I hope you can be happy every day."

This time, Yangyangjin finally stopped refutation and sighed in her heart, silently feeling the warmth coming from his palms and the pounding of her heart.
