Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 273 Don’t Be Cowardly, Just Curse Back

The next afternoon, JW Marriott Hotel Seoul.

The warm sunlight shone into the room through the window screens. The clothes scattered on the floor and the paper towels filling the trash can showed what a fierce battle had taken place last night.

The cell phone alarm suddenly rang, and the man who was awakened glanced at the girl who was lying on him, sleepily enjoying the afterglow. He gently stroked the messy hair on her cheek and forehead with his fingers, his eyes full of tenderness.

"Won't you get some more sleep?"

Dashatalan pursed her lips and murmured softly, then adjusted her sleeping position so that she could curl up more comfortably in Shen Juan's arms and steal his body warmth.

"I still have work to do later. It will be too late if I don't get up now." Shen Juan slowly put his lips to her ears, smelled the faint fragrance on her body, and whispered to her in an extremely gentle tone: "If you feel sleepy, just sleep a little longer. It's okay."

Dashatalan blushed and said nothing, but subconsciously turned Shen Juan's face to look at herself, and then kissed him openly to vent the lust in her heart.

An attractive and ambiguous atmosphere gradually spread in the room. It was unknown how long it had passed before Shen Juan, who had regained some of his senses, gently pushed the affectionate girl away.

Although last night's experience was indeed wonderful, he always kept work and life clearly separate.

Since I am about to start working, I won’t think too much about love in my private life for the time being.

But just when Shen Juan walked into the bathroom to take a shower, the reluctant girl followed him in barefoot and hugged his waist tightly.

Feeling the warmth coming from behind him, Shen Juan asked in a gentle tone: "Wouldn't you like to rest for a while?"

"No need to rest. Aren't you going out to work soon? So I don't want to do anything now. I just want to see you more! And then... stay with you!" Dashatalan rubbed his little face against Shen Juan's naked back, feeling the charming muscle lines and the lingering breath and temperature.

"Stay together?" Shen Juan smiled and turned around, gently stroking Dashatalan's smooth long hair with his warm palms, then leaned down and put his face in front of her and asked softly: "What kind of stay together is it? I don't think it's wrong, right?"

"It's just a normal way of being together, but it's okay if you think it's wrong. The worst that can happen is that you just make the best of it." Dashatalan smiled foolishly at Shen Juan.

"Then what are you waiting for?" Shen Juan couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, gently pinched Dashatalan's delicate and fair face, and then deliberately leaned close to her ear and whispered in a low voice: "Why not hurry up."

The girl's sensitive parts were invaded by the hot air, and she was instantly captured by this strange and gentle feeling.

Bodyfriend is similar to the domestic Rongtai massage chair and is a high-end brand of massage chair from South Korea.

The purpose of signing Shen Juan this time is to leverage Shen Juan's popularity in East Asia and Southeast Asia to enter overseas markets.

Although Shen Juan does not think that his influence among young people is enough to sell products like massage chairs, as they do not seem like they would spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy massage chairs, since the brand thinks he can do it, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, he just takes money to do the job.

Sales volume is not just about the spokesperson.

Just like Luxgen, which Jay Chou endorsed before, its sales were so low and it eventually went bankrupt mainly because of the poor quality of the car itself. How could it be blamed on the spokesperson?
The filming process of the endorsement advertisement also went smoothly.

Shen Juan finished work and left when it was almost time for dinner in the evening. He originally wanted to invite some friends out for dinner, but he found that the ones he knew were all busy with work at the moment.

BLACKPINK's Kim Ji-soo is on tour in Thailand, IZONE's Kwon Eun-bi is busy with the promotions after the release of her first mini album, and (G)I-DLE's Song Yuqi and Minnie, who I knew before, and Jo Mi-yeon, who I just started chatting with on Kakao.
Shen Juan felt that no matter who he asked out, once other people knew about it, it would easily cause conflicts among the members of the group and destroy their friendship.

If it gets out, it will have a bad impact.

He didn't want to see news like "Shen Juan turned into a disaster for his male friend, playing multiple games at the same time, and destroying a popular girl group with unlimited potential step by step."

So he simply didn't make any appointments and just pulled out Zhang Hao and Li Daoxuan, two younger brothers who were developing in different fields, for a meal. He wanted to cultivate "believers" as early as possible so that they could spread his real name in the Kpop field in the future.

Then in the evening, I had an in-depth exchange with Dashatalan, who had already decided to develop in China. After deepening and strengthening the connection between them, I left South Korea and went to North America to start the next stage of work.

The time is 8pm US time.

The location is a luxury apartment in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles that often appears in music videos of European and American singers.

Shen Juan is currently filming the MV for Ariana Grande's new single "break up with your girlfriend".

Ms. Ai Li Xingcai also plans to release an album in the first half of next year, but a few months earlier than Shen Juan. This will just avoid a direct meeting between the two of them. So this time she also invited Shen Juan to star in the MV of one of the singles from her new album, so as to attract traffic to each other.

The plot of the MV is also very simple.

It's nothing more than that A妹, as the heroine, fell in love with Shen Juan at the party, and then turned into a mistress and stole his love, successfully cuckolding Shen Juan's girlfriend. As a result, at the end of the plot, she told Shen Juan's girlfriend and all the audience: I did this just to let you know that he doesn't love you as much as you think, and it's better to love yourself than to love others.

A little bit weird.

But the weirdness is acceptable.

After all, there are indeed many differences between China and the West. If you want to do well overseas, even if you don't have to integrate, you must at least respect and understand the creative ideas of these foreigners.

alexs: [Although I was unable to go to the scene to receive the award due to work reasons, I am still very grateful and honored. To all the Alovers, this is for you! ]

During the break of filming, Shen Juan posted a message on Instagram which was not so official but very heartfelt, thanking fans from Europe and other countries and regions for their support and love.

On the evening of the 4th local time in Europe, the MTV Europe Music Awards ceremony was held smoothly as planned.

Shen Juan, who had previously been nominated for five honors including Best Pop Singer, Most Popular Singer, Best Newcomer, Best Dressed and Best Live Performance, finally won only one of the five nominations, which was not much different from the North American award ceremonies he had participated in before. He only won the consolation prize for Most Popular Singer.

(Among them, the Best Pop Singer was awarded to Dua Lipa, the Best New Artist was awarded to Cardi B, the Best Dressed was awarded to Nicki Minaj, the Best Live Performance was awarded to Mendes, and in the competition for the Most Popular Singer, Shen Juan defeated Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Camila Cabello, Mendes and BTS)

Although such a result obviously cannot satisfy Shen Juan himself and the Alovers who have high hopes for him, even if he defeated Taylor, Cam, Selena, BTS and other top stars, they would not be satisfied, because almost all the authoritative awards Shen Juan won this year were related to popularity data, just like the development model of European and American young idols.

But the fact is this:
DuaLipa and Nicki Minaj are at the peak of their popularity.

Cardi B has won almost all the best new artist awards this year, so there is no reason for EMA to force an "upset".

Mengde has not been boycotted by netizens for his offensive remarks yet, and he has come all the way to Spain, so the organizers will naturally give him a piece of pork.

Shen Juan's current development has obviously not reached the level that would allow the organizer to break the unspoken rule of "dividing the pork".

So just concentrate on practicing.

As long as we wait for the B chart to be gradually restructured to increase the weight of streaming media, and then release the second album to completely establish our position as the king of streaming media, everything will be fine.

Time flies and it is April 11th.

The 2018 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will be officially recorded today at Pier 94 in New York with audiences present.

In order to reverse the declining trend in viewership, the organizers of the Victoria's Secret Show invited seven groups of performing guests at one time this year, claiming it to be the show with the largest number of participants in history.

They are the popular Canadian hunk Meng De, the talented female singer Hou Xi who had previously collaborated with Shen Juan on "Eastside", the popular British singer Rita Ora, the sexy and hot Bebe Rexha, the Chainsmokers whose representative works are "Closer" and "Something Just LIke This", the highly anticipated country star Kelsea Ballerini, and Alex Shen Juan who will be the finale performer.

But including Shen Juan, they are actually just small fry.

Because for now, with the gradual rise of online programs and the continuous decline of the status of television programs, the decline of the Victoria's Secret Show seems to be irreversible.

Unless they can find a top-tier singer like Taylor Swift to bring traffic to the show, they probably won’t even be able to slow down the declining trend in ratings.

In the artist lounge backstage, Shen Juan was talking on the phone with Zhang Yixing, who was also recently holding a showcase in the United States to promote his new album "Dream in the Rain Forest".

As a result, this guy started to complain in a wronged manner.

"Why do they scold me too? Wu Jiaheng's excessive use of iTunes doesn't mean I'm doing the same. Why should we share the consequences of others' mistakes? Just because we're all from China? So we're all the same? Isn't this just a rat shit that spoils the whole barrel?"

"I just want to show foreigners like you, Brother Juan, that we Chinese can also make pop music that meets the aesthetic standards of the European and American markets. Why are there always so many weirdos who come out to stir up trouble and lead the trend? It's really annoying."

The cause of the incident was simple.

It's nothing more than that Wu Jiaheng's new album "Antares" released at the beginning of the month, relying on some well-known mysterious oriental power, quickly dominated the US iTunes charts, occupying four of the top five and seven of the top ten, and even squeezing out the hit singles of Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga.

Unexpectedly, this caused dissatisfaction among A-mei and her fans. A-mei's agent even published a public article questioning the authenticity of Wu Jiaheng's data. Not only did Wu get the nickname "Kris Who" on the Internet, but it also caused iTunes officials to respond and cleared all the data of Wu's works from the charts, confirming the fact that the data was falsified and fans were swiping the charts.

Actually, Shen Juan also swiped it at the beginning, and other popular celebrities like Wang Jiaer, Zhang Yixing and others also swiped it.

Everyone will use this method, including the Kpop idol groups next door and European and American singers like Ariana Grande, Bieber and Taylor Swift in order to achieve better first-week results.

But Chris brushed too hard this time.

This is equivalent to a student who usually only scores 40 or 50 points in an exam suddenly cheating and getting 90 points.

It’s okay to get 60 or 70 points. After all, this score is not at all competitive with the top students. Even if others guess or even see you cheating, they probably won’t say anything.

But he suddenly realized something and got first place in the class? He even participated in a world-class math competition and won a place?

Who can believe this? Do you treat others like treasures?

So those arrogant white people who were already unhappy about Shen Juan, a Chinese man, successfully entering the United States, started to attack.

The Global Times directly reported the incident of Wu Jiaheng's fans swiping the charts, and also mentioned Cai Xukun and Zhang Yixing, saying that these Chinese idols are completely ignored in the United States.

Some media also used local American proverbs such as "There are no two flowers on the same tree" to implicitly express doubts about Shen Juan's achievements.

Of course Shen Juan definitely didn't care, after all, he knew he had successfully obtained the loan and was now really angry. But Cai Xukun and Zhang Yixing, who were already guilty and had no confidence, were a little overwhelmed after their weaknesses were exposed.

This forced Zhang Yixing to post directly on Weibo:
[I just debuted in the US, it’s normal that no one knows me. For those who don’t know me, I will try to let you know me through my music. It’s better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. It’s better to see you on the stage than on the charts. I agree with what my brother Shen Juan said before: If you don’t believe in the Chinese, you can get out of here! ]

Cai Xukun quickly followed up with a like to show his support.

As for Shen Juan, he was actually more curious about why this tough statement was not posted on the foreign website Instagram, but only posted on Weibo which is only visible to Chinese fans. Shouldn't this be said directly to foreigners to be effective?
When Shen Juan bluntly asked the question in his mind, Zhang Yixing immediately began to stutter, and hesitated for a long time before he could utter these words:

"Ah, you know this. We Chinese people are mainly modest and low-key. If we act too flamboyantly and high-profile, we will be easily scolded. Just like you, Brother Juan, are often scolded. And when you go out, you more or less represent the image of China. You still have to be more cautious in your speech. You can't let foreigners catch your words and use them to attack our country. So it is better to be peaceful as much as possible."

Shen Juan was speechless. They were just about to ride on your head and shit on you, and you were still trying to be peaceful.
I have said it many times, peace is the most precious thing in Europe and America, where the law of the jungle prevails and competition to the death is the norm! The strong can humiliate the weak!
"Brother Lay, you are too cowardly. Next time you encounter this situation, just fight back directly. Your fans will support you anyway." Shen Juan couldn't help but roll his eyes and ruthlessly exposed Zhang Yixing's thoughts.

"Ah, this. Isn't it good to just tear each other apart?"

"Someone's already slapping you, do you still want to maintain your dignity?" Shen Juan said directly.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward. There was silence for about ten seconds, and then both of them laughed.

It’s just that the emotions expressed by smiles are different.

Shen Juan was feeling uncomfortable and Zhang Yixing was feeling awkward.

He envied Shen Juan for having the confidence and courage to say whatever he wanted and do whatever he wanted.

He also wants to be such a person.

But before he can truly achieve his goal, he needs to disguise and hide his ambitions, otherwise he will be tortured by netizens, saying that the only thing he has that is his mouth.
Then they talked about their respective recent situations and future work progress. Shen Juan also told Zhang Yixing about his experience in dealing with activities in North America. In short, the call lasted about twenty minutes.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Juan thought about it and felt that it was indeed a bit excessive for some media to directly elevate Wu Jiaheng's personal behavior to the national level.

And now if you type "Chai Reese" into the Twitter search bar, the first associated word that appears is "Chai Reese bots"
The impact is too bad.

So Shen Juan decided to calm the situation down himself, logged into his Instagram account and started editing English copy for the global audience.

【For some rubbish media that took the opportunity to indiscriminately attack all innocent artists and even the country, I only have one thing to say: Fxxk you! 】

After a while, Ariana Grande, Bieber, Malone, Cardi B and other top European and American music celebrities and popular new stars who got the news rushed to the scene to like and show their support.

Alovers who cannot bear to see their idol being wronged also stepped out to clarify: [Kris Who is a Canadian, he cannot represent China. Chinese people are very honest and trustworthy. The so-called tearing down of Kris bots is nonsense! ]

【Fxxk u media! Fxxk u Kriswho! 】

Xiao Chunjuan, who always follows Shen Juan's overseas social media accounts, and domestic self-media also quickly processed this Instagram post and the foreign language messages in the comment section into edible content and shipped it back to China.

Various hot search press releases are definitely indispensable.

Even Fxxk u Kriswho became a hot search, but the entry was later blocked by Lao Wu’s team.

For a moment, the crowd was excited and cheers broke out.

Netizens have expressed that this is the most courageous response, and Shen Juan is indeed a high-quality idol who is almost perfect except for his private life!
Expert in civil wars! Expert in foreign wars too!
Then some netizens who love to stir up trouble also took the opportunity to blacken other traffic in the United States, saying that Lay is strong on the outside but weak on the inside and is fighting and retreating. After being scolded by foreigners, he dared to run back to China and vent his anger in Chinese on Weibo. Who is he acting for? Does he think he is so famous that foreigners will read his Weibo? Do you think you are Shen Juan?
Although both were born in 98, Cai Xukun was so timid that he could only hide behind and cheer along with the big brother in front.

Wu Jiaheng. That fucking Canadian guy is messing around in the U.S. and bringing shame to all Chinese singers. Their fans even shamelessly claim that their chart-topping behavior is bringing glory to the country, and regard the collective criticism of their behavior by domestic netizens as "the Chinese people have been kneeling for too long and are unwilling to stand up."

These BYDs are damn damn good!

In the end, I am still the best!
What is a big deal to others is a small deal to him.

If anything goes wrong, you have to ask me, Master Juan, to settle it!

This scene is somewhat similar to the classic line that A Zu said to Tingfeng in "Young and Dangerous": Are you good at fighting? What's the point of being able to fight? To get involved in the underworld, you need power and background. Which gang are you from?
What is different from this sentence is that Shen Juan is not only good at fighting, but also has power and background!
Big brother Chengdu is an old fellow of grandfather's generation, the three Come on boys are still young, KunKun has just debuted for half a year, Chris pretends to be Huazi, Sun Xing is only good at talking, and Lu Han is a useless straw bag, so I choose Alex to be the leader this time. He works sincerely for the club, fights against evil and eels, and has made great contributions.

I have finished speaking. Who agrees? Who opposes?

At eight o'clock in the evening, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show officially began.

Amid the cheers and screams of the audience, the first performer Lila James took the stage with her opening song "This Is Me", unveiling the first theme chapter of tonight's show "Luxury Royalty".

This chapter is opened by Taylor Hill, the new generation supermodel "Little Tarzan" that Victoria's Secret is promoting.

However, this series is hard to describe, whether it is the clothes worn by the models or the singers' performances.

Shen Juan, who was watching the live performance through the broadcast screen backstage, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

No wonder it will be cancelled next year. The current Victoria's Secret Show is completely incompatible with the original popularity of this IP.

Afterwards, Chainsmokers, Monkey West, Bebe Rexha and Rita Ora took turns to perform their respective chapters.

Almost an hour later, the last theme chapter of the night, Celestial Angels, began.

Under the guidance of the backstage staff, we walked through the Victoria's Secret Angel dressing corridor, which was "littered with" women's underwear, covers and accessories, and arrived at the waiting area.

After putting on the earphones, picking up the microphone, making sure the equipment was correct and adjusting his breathing rhythm, Shen Juan stepped onto the stage to make his debut amid the cheers of the supermodels.

"Please welcome Alex Shen!"

Almost exactly the same as last year, the audience cheered and screamed instantly, and the whole place was suddenly boiling.

But there are also differences.

If we say that the reason why Shen Juan, who was just a "newcomer" last year, was able to receive so much support and encouragement was mainly because the Victoria's Secret show was held in Shanghai, and most of the audience were locals. They would naturally stand up and give applause and screams to Shen Juan, the Chinese singer who made history by making his first appearance on the Victoria's Secret stage.

This year, thanks to the popularity gained from the huge success of "Underrated", he has gained these refreshing and charming decibels.

moment
The prelude of "Celestial" which fits the theme concept very well sounded, and Shen Juan directly picked up the microphone and began to sing:
"You see tonight, it could go either way." You look up at the night sky tonight, everything is possible.

"Hearts balanced on a razer blade." Two hot hearts are balanced on both sides of the sharp blade.

Shen Juan sang and danced to simple, casual and natural moves. He also turned around and looked at the opening model Lais Ribeiro who was walking towards him.

This hot, dark-skinned Brazilian supermodel seemed to want to prove that her ability is not as bad as people say. She looked extremely serious and walked the catwalk so hard that the front armor was shaking.

Seeing this, Shen Juan temporarily gave up the idea of having any physical interaction with her. He simply exchanged a glance full of mature sexual tension with her and let her go.

The second supermodel to appear was also an old acquaintance of Shen Juan whom he met in Shanghai last year, "Tangtang" Candice.

She was not as serious as the previous Ribeiro. She acted as if she was enjoying the stage from the start. When she walked to Shen Juan, she waved at him closely, which caused the audience to scream and ask how Alex got in touch with Candice.

Everyone in this world loves gossip.

Then, perhaps influenced by the atmosphere on the scene, or perhaps wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to benefit from Shen Juan's traffic to expand her own popularity, the third person to take the stage, Taylor Hill, also interacted with Shen Juan, who impressed her but was only meeting her for the first time.

She took the initiative to stretch out her right hand and wanted to simply shake hands like dancing, but she didn't expect Shen Juan to take the opportunity to kiss her hand during the breathing interval of singing. He was very gentlemanly and didn't feel offended at all.

After all, people are all creatures that value appearance. Just like when Shen Juan was watching the live broadcast backstage just now, many supermodels changed their clothes in front of him. They hoped that Shen Juan would look at them more, fall in love with one of them, and let them have a happy and wonderful night.

Several supermodels who appeared later also interacted with Shen Juan to varying degrees. In particular, Kendall Jenner, the internet celebrity supermodel from the Kardashian family, who had discussed this with Shen Juan in advance during the rehearsal, even did his most famous fan-spreading move with Shen Juan, holding hands, pushing the atmosphere of tonight's show to a new climax.

In the audience, they were completely delighted; they loved watching this kind of interaction between the singer and the model!
What's more, Shen Juan sings very well and he is also very handsome. With a height of nearly 190cm when wearing shoes, he is not inferior to those Victoria's Secret supermodels in high heels. Standing together is so good for their eyes!

“You make me feel.”

"Like I'm drunk on stars and we're dancing out in the space." Like I'm drunk on stars and we're dancing out in the space.

"Celestial!" Galaxy Walk!
On the stage, Shen Juan was at full power, burning and shining.

Thanks to the fact that the song "Celesial" is not very difficult to sing, he can leisurely enjoy the stage and the cheers from the audience, which he has experienced many times but still gives people a wonderful feeling every time.

"Alex's figure and temperament are like a top male model who has accidentally appeared in the show. I discovered this at the Met Gala this year. LV made the right choice by choosing him as its spokesperson."

"Alex is really popular with women! He is definitely the singer who interacts the most with the angels on stage that I have ever seen, no doubt about it! I envy him so much!"

"I bet Justin Timberlake will be so angry that he will smash the wall when he sees this. He acted like a panicked, pitiful and helpless innocent boy on stage. No one wanted to pay attention to him. Hahaha!"

"My heart melts when Alex smiles."

"It is no exaggeration to say that he is definitely the most attractive Asian boy I have ever seen! He is even no worse than the impression Leonardo and Tom Cruise gave me back then, at least that is what I personally think."

The astonished audience below the stage kept talking about it.

For the vast majority of female audiences, no matter what their aesthetic taste is, whether they like the refreshing and sunny boyish feeling or the obscure and astringent feeling, they can find the characteristics in Shen Juan that make them fall in love with him.

Shen Juan, who is performing on the stage at this moment, is like a hormone bomb packaged with pure boyishness.

Because it could be ignited and detonated at any time, it has caught everyone's attention and focused everyone's attention. In a sense, it has even become a more eye-catching light source than the Victoria's Secret Angels.
