Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 271 Don’t let the wealth go to outsiders

Because Minami Hamabe entered the entertainment industry early, her academic performance in high school was not very ideal.

But thanks to his outstanding desire to learn and his hard-working willpower, he finally passed the after-school random check of his academic qualifications by Mr. Shen Juan, a special commissioner of the Education Bureau.

It was this meal that made Abin, a beautiful girl with a lolita figure, feel uncomfortable, and she wanted to call for a pause several times during the meal.

No tricks.

Faced with such a thing, Shen Juan couldn't be anxious.

After all, just like the frail Xiao Tian Xiaoxiao, everyone's cultural background, learning ability and stress resistance are different.

So Shen Juan could only wait patiently.

There was even time to connect to Xiao Hu's cross-border video.

I have to say, this sister is naturally talented.

Moreover, after getting Shen Juan's permission recently, she would call him via video whenever she had time, looking for Shen Juan with a dazed look in her eyes and a soft voice. She would strictly follow Shen Juan's orders. If he asked her to go east, she would never go west, as if she was doing it voluntarily.

This also made Shen Juan include this girl who was obedient to him in the candidate list.

On the morning of September 10th.

Shen Juan was originally still sleeping, but after hearing the noise, he opened his eyes with difficulty and sat up, looking at him with pitiful and reluctant eyes like a puppy. The girl Abin, who seemed to regard him as some kind of spiritual sustenance, said goodbye to him seriously and returned to the city of Tokyo.

Preparing to take the flight back to Beijing and start the next work cycle.

Almost a week has passed since the Japanese EP "You Are All I See" was released on the 24th and Shen Juan rushed to Tokyo to start promotional activities.

Today does not count.

For others, these short six days might just be an ordinary week that passed by in the blink of an eye, but for Shen Juan and his fans, as well as Lehua Global and domestic news media that rely on Shen Juan's popularity to gain fan traffic, they cannot be dealt with casually.

At the very least, continuous, high-intensity hot search promotion and press release marketing must not be reduced or interrupted.

Although Shen Juan, for the sake of hiding his strength, completely cut out those invalid junk hot searches that were used to meet his KPI, such as private clothes at the airport and selfie business. As a result, the number of hot searches was completely disproportionate to his real fan traffic.

He has long passed the stage where he needed mindless marketing to create trending searches to maintain the enthusiasm of his fans and his own popularity.

But you still have to market when it’s time.

Especially when the work is online.

During the promotional period, he often takes the top-tier route that no one else in the domestic entertainment industry dares to take: he doesn't control his marketing frequency and exposure at all. In short, he just wants to be as popular as possible, without playing any pretentious things, and just crushes others all the way with dignity.

After all, he is different from other top stars who only have fan circle data but no works and whose popularity among the public is also very poor. He actually has high-quality works to support him.

Moreover, with the international halo of "Z Generation Pop King", "New King of Streaming", "Asian Male No. 1", "Jackie Chan of the New Era" and the active endorsement of official mainstream media, his current national popularity and social influence are far behind other top stars.

It is precisely because of this confidence that he dares to carry out such high-intensity and high-frequency exposure marketing, without being afraid that the work will fail and the reputation will be bad, leading to backlash from passers-by.

After all, whether it is the popularity of fans that is the foundation of a traffic artist, or the representative works and business capabilities that traffic artists do not have but have been trying to find, or the high-end fashion resources that are still rare in this era, and the commercial value that every artist needs to grasp in the traffic era, whether they are idols or talented.
Shen Juan is at the top level in almost every field.

Even Xiao Chunjuan has begun to compare the achievements and international influence of Shen Juan, who has only been in the industry for two years, with the senior actors of the Four Dans and Two Bings who have been in the industry for more than 20 years.

So in the face of such a trend of the times, the black fans who dislike Shen Juan can hardly find any other effective way to attack him, except to say that Shen Juan became famous by singing English songs and that his fans are all sheepdogs who worship foreign things and fawn on foreigners.

The more I get scolded, the more I feel like a clown.

Because if singing English songs is considered worshipping foreign things, then all students in China are worshipping foreign things, because English is now a compulsory subject for every student.
At the same time, nearly twenty high-ranking hot searches in six days also allowed domestic fans and bystanders to have a more comprehensive and detailed understanding that Shen Juan’s current popularity and fame are not limited to the domestic market.

The timeline is roughly as follows:
#You Are All I See#, #Shen Juan's Haneda Airport is paralyzed again#, #Shen Juan's Ishihara Satomi gathering#, #Shen Juan posted Goodnight Tokyo on Instagram#, #You Are All I See's first day sales exploded#, #Shen Juan's unplugged concert#, #Japanese artists pay a big tribute to Shen Juan#, #Shen Juan said in a live broadcast that Japanese fans are very cute#, #Shen Juan's autograph session, everyone sang Pretender#, #How good is the fan genius at pampering fans#, #Shen Juan Hirano Sho#, #Shen Juan took a photo with Suda Masaki#, #Shen Juan said he is following Japanese idols#, #Nogizaka46's popular member Yuki Wada said she is an Alovers#, #Ikeda Elaisa said her ideal type is Shen Juan, causing controversy on the Japanese Internet#
The reason why Le Hua bought so many hot searches in China is certainly not to get Chinese people to pay attention to Japanese entertainment.

Japanese entertainment doesn’t have the ability to attract people at first sight.

In fact, they did this purely because they wanted to let domestic netizens who don’t pay attention to Japanese or foreign entertainment news know how popular Shen Juan is in Japan at this stage.

This will further enhance Shen Juan's commercial value as an artist and his value as a public figure.

For the former, the improvement of commercial value can help Shen Juan obtain more high-quality resources in the entertainment industry:

Now any domestic film, TV series or even variety show, once it has Shen Juan, has the potential to go overseas.

For example, "A River of Sadness", which recently broke the 90 billion box office record and helped Shen Juan become the second best actor born in the s after Wu Jiaheng in terms of film performance, is currently negotiating its overseas release.

For example, the web drama "So Cute We Are" which was launched at the beginning of the year was broadcast on regular TV stations and video websites in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia some time ago.

Japan and South Korea are not so bad. The film and television industries in these two places are very developed, and it is difficult for outsiders to break into their markets.

But in Southeast Asia, it was a huge hit.

Southeast Asian fans love watching Chinese campus dramas.

The Spring CP formed by Shen Juan and Tian Xiwei, due to the popularity of Shen Juan's singing career, even became the most popular film and television drama CP on the local TikTok.

There were all kinds of CP fans' sweet comments and CP-oriented videos, which made Xiaotian very happy. He not only took screenshots of the processed comments section to show Shen Juan every day.

He also posted these screenshots on his publicly accessible Weibo account, with a grinning emoji and the caption: [I've been to Southeast Asia, and the fans there are very pure.]

Then, as expected, he got together with the female fans of Shen Juanmeng who came after hearing the news and the former female fans of Meng who had already quit being fans and turned against him, and they started to communicate with each other again.

In addition, there are some well-known domestic and foreign brands that have lofty ambitions to enter the Japanese and even global markets, and are also working hard to conduct market research and analysis: If they spend a lot of money to find Shen Juan to endorse their brand, is there a possibility of stimulating product sales and creating more revenue?

There is a high probability that it will be effective.

However, Shen Juan is currently stuck in endorsement situations and refuses to accept any fast-moving consumer goods contracts unless otherwise expected. He has already reached the stage where he takes the initiative in selecting brands.

As for the latter, the value of the website can help Shen Juan gain endorsements from above and strong support from the mainstream media. In a sense, he will become China's external face and calm down the rival capitals that want to take action against him.

Not to mention anything else, the fact that Shen Juan gave his acceptance speeches in Chinese in front of audiences across the United States and even the world at those large-scale award ceremonies in the United States, and that the number of views on YouTube easily exceeded 10 million, has caused countless white people to begin to eliminate their prejudices, has already made the higher-ups very satisfied.

At a time when competition in all fields is becoming increasingly fierce, it is rare to have a top international superstar like Jackie Chan who is famous all over the world. Can the higher-ups not keep an eye on this?

So in this case, the discussion about Shen Juan’s chaotic private life is no longer that important.

Because he is the main theme itself.

The day after returning to China, that is, on October 10, Shen Juan came to Arxan, Inner Mongolia as originally planned to participate in the recording of "Dear Inn 31".

In fact, if we follow the rules of the fan circle, for an artist of Shen Juan's status to appear on a secondary variety show like Dear Inn can definitely be considered a lowering of his status.

Just like movie stars will be tortured when acting in TV dramas, top stars will be ridiculed when accepting micro-business endorsements.

But that’s what the fans say.

Artists who are truly talented and confident will not be influenced by the PUA tactics used by fans to limit their traffic.

The reason why Shen Juan is disliked by some passers-by and netizens is not only because of his exaggerated achievements, flamboyant personality, and high-profile behavior, which unknowingly humiliates and belittles other colleagues, but also because of his attitude of "there is no need to explain to others what I have done in my life", which breaks the inherent rule framework that this group of people have long been accustomed to.

Why do everyone follow these fan circle rules and you are the only one who doesn’t?

Why is it that everyone is constantly trying to please their fans, fearing that their girlfriend fans will run away, but you can just nonchalantly release gossip to warn them and let them switch to your side?
Why is it that everyone tacitly turns a blind eye to idols' love affairs, but you can openly let gossip about yourself become the focus of public discussion, causing others to be called cowards? Do you think the title of amateur killer sounds good?

They hate stars who break existing rules and conventional frameworks the most, because this makes their past conventional remarks and ideas look like clowns.

Of course, Shen Juan himself and his fans don’t care about these people’s opinions at all, and they don’t even take a look at them.

The traffic provided by black fans, as long as it is used properly, can also become the nutrients that propel oneself to the next stage.

This is how Shen Juan has been spending the past two years.

Back to the topic
In fact, Shen Juan already owes a favor to Mango TV for getting Cheng Xiao as a permanent guest on "Dear Inn 2", so it would be a good idea for him to find time to come and repay the favor.

After all, if this favor is not repaid in time, its value will probably become more and more expensive as his status increases.

Shen Juan is very confident about his future development prospects, so if there are any favors that have not been repaid, it is better to deal with them as soon as possible.

For example, Wang Han, who had helped him during the Tiantian Brothers period, also sent a WeChat message to Shen Juan some time ago, wanting to invite him to his new show "Wild Kitchen".

Shen Juan thought about it and decided to take it.

Announcement fees and exposure are secondary.

He simply wanted to repay Wang Han for the kindness he had shown him.

Moreover, at his request, Tian Xiwei, who had been clamoring to appear on the show with Shen Juan to hype up their CP in order to create new material to attack those female fans of his dreams, will also participate in the recording of the same program. By then, it can be said that the Spring CP will meet in the same frame again after more than half a year.

The recording location for this year's "Dear Inn" program is set in the slightly less populated Bailang Town of Arxan.

The scenery is quite good.

If you roll down the car window, you can also see several glass houses on the hillside and withered yellow trees covered with fallen snow.

Not long after, the designated sponsor's vehicle for picking up guests also stopped at the entrance of the inn.

"Teacher Shen, we are here."

"Okay, thank you." Shen Juan smiled and nodded to the director sitting in the passenger seat, then opened the door and got out of the car.

Because he was not an official guest: he was only a surprise guest invited by the program team to play for one day and leave, and he would not stay for too long like other flying guests. So at least on the surface, the inn members did not receive the news, and naturally no one went out to greet him.

But Shen Juan is, after all, the most popular and highest-profile young star in the domestic entertainment industry. How could the program crew really treat him as casually as a small guest?

So at this time, the resident guests, led by Liu Tao, need to show their acting skills.

"Oh my god! Why are you here?! Hello, hello! Welcome, Xiao Juan, to our inn today!"

Liu Tao and Wang Ke, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, took the lead and welcomed Shen Juan, who was carrying a suitcase, with a look of surprise and astonishment.

"Hello, Sister Tao, hello, Teacher Wang." Shen Juan shook hands politely. Of course, he would not neglect the etiquette of these two elders who met him for the first time and greeted him with smiles.

"Isn't this my brother Juan? Welcome, welcome!"

Wang Hedi, who had met Shen Juan at the League of Legends star show before, came over to take the suitcase from Shen Juan's hand in a familiar manner, and greeted him with a crooked smile: "Your song "Sunflower" is really amazing! I also sang a cover of it myself. How about sending it to your WeChat later? I am a fan of Hei Pao! Champion, please give me some advice!"

Thinking of his concert repertoire and classic stage performances, Shen Juan was speechless and wished him success.

"Hello, I'm Shen Yue." This is Shen Yue, the "invisible resource star" in the domestic entertainment industry, who appeared in the same frame with Yang Yang and Jin Jin in the original time and space, and was teased by netizens for not looking as good-looking as her agent. She was also secretly humiliated by her partner Hu Yitian, who said that only by finding an ordinary woman to play the heroine could the audience feel involved.

But from a close distance she looks okay, not particularly beautiful, and a little ordinary in the entertainment industry, but she has the feel of a harmless, Japanese oxygen beauty. No wonder Japanese people like this look.

"Hello, hello, I'm Wu Yi." Following closely behind was Wu Yi, the "domestic entertainment variety show famous scene maker" who debuted in Super Boy. He was smiling timidly at Shen Juan.

"Brother Wu Yi, I know you. When you participated in Super Boy, I voted for you." Shen Juan wanted to laugh when he saw his honest face.

The main thing is that this guy's last name is Wu, he's not tall, and he has a second child at home.
Isn't this the pure chosen Wu Dalang?
After getting to know and greeting people one by one, Shen Juan finally saw the girl he often met online but hadn't met offline for a long time.

"long time no see!"

Cheng Xiao nodded gently with a bright smile.

Shen Juan also smiled and nodded.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Looking at each other and smiling, everything goes without saying anything.

"Dear Inn", a domestic slow variety show that pays tribute to the popular South Korean variety show "Hyori's Homestay", is not a very interesting or funny show to put it bluntly.

It just so happens that Shen Juan is not a funny person.

So it’s still the old routine and old-fashioned character, just being a variety show hanger-on and salary thief like Kris.

There is no work to do.

Anyway, the reason why he came to this show was not for money or exposure. To put it bluntly, he is the most important ratings guarantee for the entire domestic entertainment industry. Even if he sleeps the whole time, as long as his face is exposed, I'm afraid he will attract many fans to come and see him sleeping.

Today's recording process was also very routine. After working with everyone in the inn for a whole day and experiencing a series of activities including but not limited to yoga classes and snow sweeping, Shen Juan's one-day recording work came to an end.

In the evening, I took the program crew’s special car back to the city hotel, took a nice bath and washed away all my fatigue.

When the door was opened, water vapor poured out along with a tall and slender figure. What greeted Shen Juan was a familiar fragrance, as well as a beautiful girl who hurried over to greet the handsome man coming out of the bath without even putting down the takeaway box.

"My husband has worked hard today. Dinner has been delivered. So should we eat first? Or..."

Cheng Xiao pursed her pink lips, looked at Shen Juan with a meaningful look, and said softly:
"Eat me first?"

"Honey, I think you can change into a low-cut dress next time, and then come over and say this to me. I should feel it more that way." Shen Juan cooperated with Cheng Xiao to play house, and acted like a gangster and said dirty words in a serious manner.

"Like this?" Cheng Xiao forcibly pulled his T-shirt down, revealing a full and deep curve.

Shen Juan smiled and rubbed the throwing coins that the welfare girl had brought to him, then took out a handful of candies from the pocket of a coat among his spare clothes and handed them over.

"A friend from the United States sent me some watermelon candy. I tried it and it tastes pretty good. You can try it too!"

"American friend? Male or female?" Cheng Xiao blinked and was not in a hurry to take the candy handed to him by Shen Juan.

"A female." Shen Juan was very honest. It was actually Ari.

"A female again? So how many gossips and rumored boyfriends do you have?" Cheng Xiao pretended to be angry.

"We're just ordinary friends. How can a woman be related to me? What do you think I am? A human succubus?" Shen Juan smiled helplessly and rolled his eyes.

You really have the flavor of a humanoid succubus.
Although Cheng Xiao was secretly complaining in her heart, she did not pursue the topic relentlessly. After all, she has always pursued a Buddhist life of getting by, and Shen Juan at this stage perfectly fits her view on choosing a partner.

So he quickly smiled again and took the candy from Shen Juan's hand with a smile on his face.

But a look of surprise soon appeared on her face, and her beautiful eyes were full of confusion.

Is this an illusion? Why is it so light? Why did you give me the wrapping paper? Where did the sugar inside go?
Shen Juan coughed twice as if nothing had happened.

Cheng Xiao tilted his head, looked at Shen Juan with a puzzled and somewhat dissatisfied expression, pouted his lips and asked, "Where's the candy? Why did you give me the wrapping paper? Are you kidding me?"

"I ate them all." Shen Juan said calmly.

"Ah?" The girl widened her eyes in disbelief.

"Because it's so delicious, we won't leave any left. Watermelon sugar is hard not to be addicted." Shen Juan told a dirty joke that Cheng Xiao probably wouldn't understand.

(Referring to Luha Juan's "Watermelon Sugar")
"Huh?" Cheng Xiao's expression was on the verge of collapse.

"Okay, no more jokes. Actually, I thought about it carefully on the way back. I felt that Xiaoxiao, you are sweet enough. You don't need candy to add extra sweetness, right?" Shen Juan said seriously.

Cheng Xiao felt his cheeks were a little hot, and he couldn't help but put his cold hands on both sides of his cheeks to cool them down physically. He looked at Shen Juan shyly and seriously, and after a while, he raised the corners of his mouth and spoke softly: "Slippery tongue!"

"Do you like it?" Shen Juan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I like it." Cheng Xiao was very honest.

"Isn't that okay?"

Shen Juan smiled and continued, "And you really don't plan to open the wrapping paper in your hand and take a look?"

"Is this a surprise for me?"

"Just an ordinary daily life." Shen Juan smiled.

"Just a normal day?"

Shen Juan smiled and shrugged without comment.

Cheng Xiao gave him a sidelong glance and said, "I don't believe it anyway!"
Because she knew that Shen Juan was essentially a hopeless romantic fool, and would often do things that made her heart beat faster at unexpected moments.

Of course, since there are successes, there must also be failures or times when she doesn’t understand and feels embarrassed.

But overall, she still enjoys this mode of getting along.
After all, she felt that it would be difficult for most girls, including herself, to say cruel and hurtful words to this face.

not to mention.
Cheng Xiao glanced at Shen Juan out of the corner of his eye.

With this face, I say I love you seriously?
It's hard not to believe it's true.

In that case, she solemnly opened the dry and shriveled candy wrappers in her hand, but she found only a code of numbers and English inside.

【AlexS520】

"This is my WeChat ID." Shen Juan at the side answered at the right time with a faint smile on his face.

"Why did you write me your WeChat ID? It's not like I don't have your WeChat." Cheng Xiao frowned slightly in confusion.

"Didn't you say before that you wanted to buy a camera to record your life? I originally wanted to buy it and send it to you, but I really know too much about cameras and photography, so..." Shen Juan leaned down slightly, smiled and stretched out his hand to pinch Cheng Xiao's face, looking at the girl in front of him lovingly, "Choose the style you want and send it to me on WeChat, and I'll buy it for you."

"Of course I know you will say that you have money and don't need me to buy it for you, but the money for buying a camera is not important. I think what is really important is that if you are still hesitant and have difficulty making a decision in the future, you can come to me. I am happy to make a choice for you and I am also willing to take responsibility for you."

Cheng Xiao was stunned at first, then she smiled sweeter and sweeter. She had never expected that Shen Juan would remember what she said casually while playing games. An irrepressible sense of happiness instantly surged through her body like a tide. She clenched the candy wrapper in her hand, followed the guidance of her heart and hugged Shen Juan tightly. She said softly in his arms, "Why did you suddenly think of giving me a gift?"

Many times, romance is often hidden in the trivial but gentle details of daily life.

She really enjoys the feeling of opening the blind box.

"Because after recording the show today, I saw Sister Tao and her husband giving each other gifts. The atmosphere was quite sweet. Although we are not yet at the level of an old married couple, I still don't want you to be left without a gift when other girls are receiving gifts." Shen Juan rubbed Cheng Xiao's head, with a little complacency on his face that made her feel very cute. "So, what kind of photos do you want to take in the future, Xiao Xiao?"

Cheng Xiao thought for a moment and replied seriously: "The smell of a rainy day, the heat on the streets in summer, sad music, happy and joyful voices, and the feeling of being in love with you are all things I want to capture."

“It seems like none of this can be captured in a photo.”

"Yes, but these are real things!" Cheng Xiao blinked playfully.

"The reason why I want to wander around with my camera is that I want to encounter these things that I may not be able to take pictures of, but they do exist and are beautiful. Then when they appear, I will stand there and use the camera to record what I can feel."

"Okay, I really don't know anything about cameras or photography, but I like looking at photos like this."

Cheng Xiao, who had been rubbing against Shen Juan's arms, suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed Shen Juan, who understood what he meant and lowered his head.

"I like you looking at photos, too."
