Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 313: Praising to death is like giving it away for free, which is a good thing
Actually, it is not advisable to open champagne at halftime.

First there was Italy's AC Milan's Istanbul Night, and then there was our domestic entertainment's chosen Oriental Qingcang Xu Qian'an.

They are all examples of establishing a huge lead in the early stages and then gradually destroying themselves due to over-expansion.

All I can say is that if you don't have the ability to absolutely control the game, any big talk or harsh words you say out of arrogance may end up backstabbing you.

So are the words Shen Juan saying just big talk?

The truth of the matter is not really important.

What is really important is that many people are now looking forward to Shen Juan’s second technical college entrance examination, but it is not as awesome as he boasts, which is a slap in his face.

Then they would take advantage of his misfortune to pull him down from the high altar and let the domestic entertainment industry return to the era of flourishing and coexistence of a hundred schools of thought.

Therefore, it was not only Lehua Company that took this opportunity to promote Shen Juan and his second English album in China. In fact, other forces bought press releases for Shen Juan that were even more exaggerated and outrageous, as if Shen Juan had stepped on all his predecessors and colleagues and became the new-generation MJ.

They tried to use this lowest but most effective way of pulling down Shen Juan to offend the fan groups of his senior colleagues and ruin his popularity among the public.

For example, he made up a story
[Z-generation pop music emperor Shen Juan came to the Grammys and made a bold statement: The future is mine? The present is mine! ]

[Shen Juan said in an interview with the media on the Grammy red carpet that he and Justin Bieber are no longer artists of the same level, and that outdated singers should give way to young people]

[Shen Juan said he didn’t know The Weeknd]

[Shen Juan said that hip-hop culture is just a bunch of arguments, and Chen Guanxi just wants to take advantage of the popularity of hip-hop to sell shoes and make money from the Chinese people]

[Shen Juan said that Taylor was disrespectful to his ex by writing a song right after a breakup, unlike him who protected his amateur sister-in-law very well]

[When facing questions from the media, Shen Juan was puzzled: Who is Tao Zhe? I don’t think a singer who has a messy private life and has been out of fashion for more than ten years is qualified to be my mentor]

[The sky is my limit? No, the sky is already crowded, I decided to leave the atmosphere and go to outer space]

For example, to give him a loan.
[Best New Artist is well deserved, Shen Juan is crowned as a Grammy star, he has become the greatest national idol in Asia]

[Punching Bieber, kicking Harry Styles, and killing The Weeknd, Shen Juan was successfully crowned the new era pop king at the age of 20! 】

[The best male in the world! Shen Juan won three Grammy nominations and three of them! ]

[The first Chinese person to be worshipped by foreigners, America went crazy because of him, now is the Alex era]

[Ajuan smiled slightly. He has won the trust of the organizing committee. This year's Grammy Awards may usher in a fruitful night.]

[Milestone moment: eating Lays and announcing good news, three mentions and three central players are too tired, his arrival has plunged the North American music scene into turmoil]

There are a lot of messy news releases on the Internet, and many netizens have joined in the fun.

However, Shen Juan, the person involved in the incident, was not aware of it.

Of course, even if they knew, they probably wouldn’t care.

After all, although the strategy of flattery seems to be an impeccable conspiracy, it is not completely without a solution.

Very simple.

Wouldn't it be enough if it could really explode to the sky as they boast?
Anyway, he is really confident about this Leviathan.

The most popular songs in the North American music scene in recent years are all from him.

Other people's main products can only be ranked in the middle and lower levels in his opinion.

When Leviathan really explodes, all of this seemingly exaggerated flattery will become the nutrients for his ascension.

This is equivalent to the rival paying out of its own pocket to promote Shen Juan's marketing.

I'm afraid Shen Juan still has to say thank you to them!

After walking the red carpet, we entered the backstage.

With the increase in popularity and the change in status, the organizers naturally arranged a closer seat for Shen Juan this year, so that he was in the area closest to the main stage.

However, on the way to his seat following the staff, the appearance of an old friend made Shen Juan stop.

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

"What do you mean long time no see? Didn't we just meet at the Spring Festival Gala last week?" A smile suddenly broke out on Zhang Yixing's honest face, looking inexplicably funny.

As one of only two Chinese artists attending the Grammy Awards this year, Zhang Yixing had naturally contacted Shen Juan early on.

However, there was a big gap in their status, so when he walked the red carpet, Shen Juan hadn't even left the hotel.

This also made him sit alone in the backstage for an hour or so before he waited for the friends he knew to come.

"Yeah, anyway, the last time I saw you was last year."

"Your jokes are really cold."

"That's normal. It's winter after all!"

Zhang Yixing lowered his voice and asked, "How is it going? Do you have any hope of winning an award tonight? Did the Grammys give you any hints?"

Shen Juan curled his lips and said, "It's good to have a hint. The Grammys are not the Hundred Flowers Awards. Even if there is something shady, it can't be blamed on a Chinese like me."

This time, nomination means affirmation.

Winning an award is something I never thought about.

Unless he is like Justin Bieber, who won a few insignificant and unpopular awards just to show off.

"That's a pity, but it doesn't matter. You are the pride of all Chinese and even Asians."

"No, I don't do these things. I only represent myself and my fans. I have no right to represent others."

"Why do you care about this? There is no doubt that you are the most influential singer in Asia."

"But the thing is, I'm different from you."

Hearing this, Zhang Yixing felt a little complicated.

I'm not only afraid of my brother's hardship, but also afraid of my brother driving a Land Rover.

From a friend's perspective, he hopes Shen Juan will win the award because he knows that Shen Juan is qualified and capable of gaining more.

But from the perspective of a colleague, he does not want Shen Juan to win the award, because this will not only further widen the already exaggerated gap between Shen Juan and all the singers in the domestic entertainment industry to the point where it is difficult for them to catch up, but will also consolidate Shen Juan's dominance over the domestic entertainment industry and gradually create a siphon effect to concentrate resources.

In the future, Shen Juan will probably be the first choice for new fans to join the fan circle, and his fans will only increase in number.

In the future, when film and television industry capital is looking for actors of the right age to star in a movie, they will find Shen Juan first. All good scripts will probably go through him first, and then be circulated according to the actor ratings within the capital.

Therefore, Zhang Yixing knew without even thinking about it that he would be ridiculed in various ways and would be criticized by those black fans who had long disliked him.

After all, those bold words he made to cheer up his fans seem to have not been fulfilled so far.

Alas, it is so difficult to be Shen Juan’s friend.

You will always be inexplicably blinded by his brilliance, or suffer splash damage due to his awesomeness.

Shen Juan didn't know nor did he care what this friend, who had a smiling face but extremely complicated emotions, was thinking.

He just exchanged a few brief pleasantries with him, made an appointment with him to meet again when they were free, then said goodbye and left, continuing to wander around the venue looking for valuable social contacts.

First, I had a brief chat with Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner and took a group photo to post on Instagram.

Shen Juan has been having a close relationship with Kylie's sister Kendall recently, and they interact with each other on Instagram from time to time.

Although the Kardashian family has done a lot of weird things, it is undeniable that they are really good at generating traffic.

Therefore, in order to maximize the commercial performance of the second album, Shen Juan specially invited Kendall Jenner, who has hundreds of millions of fans, to star in the MV of "10000 Hours". By then, the top combination of him, Kendall, Bieber and Hailey will definitely become a very attractive marketing topic.

Then I ran into Cardi B, who was dressed like a pink scallop, and we started chatting enthusiastically again.

Of course, it was mainly Cardi B's fast-talking and loud voice mixed with a lot of Tibetan and dirty jokes. In front of her, Shen Juan was just like a baby who had just learned to speak.

This sister’s Christmas family bucket is pretty awesome.

Then he met Dua Lipa, who was competing with him for Best New Artist, and Ma Long, who would be performing on the same stage with him later.

We just walked along and chatted.
Although most of the big-name singers that Shen Juan knew before did not come to the scene for various reasons.

For example, Ariana Grande had a conflict with the Grammy Awards because the organizer did not allow her to sing her new song "7 Rings" and announced that she would not attend the Grammy Awards ceremony this year.

Taylor Swift, for example, was not in attendance because she was in London accompanying her boyfriend to the British Academy of Film Awards.

But no matter what, this is the Grammys!

Perhaps this is not worth mentioning for those long-established first-tier and super-first-tier singers, but for Shen Juan, a "newcomer" who has only been in the industry for less than two years and urgently needs to be given value by the industry, this is undoubtedly a very high-quality exposure resource.

Shen Juan needs a Grammy nomination and a Grammy stage to lay a more solid foundation for his promotion to the first-line.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the award ceremony officially started.

After Camila Cabello's opening performance of "Havana", host Alicia Keys came on stage and gave an opening speech with several other female celebrities including Lady Gaga, highlighting the power of women in society.

The whole audience stood up and applauded to show their respect.

It doesn't matter whether you agree or not.

At least the surface work must be done!

Otherwise, outsiders like Shen Juan would soon be found by their opponents and be driven out.

Then we entered the main topic of the award ceremony:

“Are you ready for a big night of music?”

"Next up are two talented singer-songwriters who make us sigh that youth is the most precious asset. One of them was nominated for three Grammy Awards for the first time this year, and the other was nominated for four Grammy Awards this year. Let's welcome them with the warmest applause."

“Alex Shen and Post Malone!”

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Cheers and screams from fans in the audience rang out instantly.

Perhaps because they learned relevant experience in offline support for idols from Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean, this group of North American Alovers lit up a vast and shocking red sea for Shen Juan in a foreign country.

(The star-chasing culture in the European and American entertainment circles is different from that in East Asia. Except for those extremely popular stars, few fans will participate in this kind of offline large-scale collective support)
So compared to last year's embarrassing situation where his songs were popular but his personal fame was not fully fermented, Shen Juan, whose popularity and fame have reached a new level this year, has undoubtedly become the most popular singer with the most fans in attendance thanks to the hit single "Sunflower" and hot events such as his friendship with Taylor and Ariana Grande.

Seeing this, many invited guests from all walks of life in the audience were surprised by Shen Juan's exaggerated popularity and stood up to give their applause and cheers to the two music superstars who were about to take the stage.

The on-site director also quickly cut into the live broadcast the expressions of surprise or envy of the audience.

This made many Chinese fans who were watching Shen Juan shining at the Grammy Awards live across the ocean excited and their hearts were boiling!

Although the current mainstream trend is to gradually disenchant with foreign countries and not worship them, Chinese culture is the coolest.

But it’s really fucking cool to see so many European and American celebrities, who were previously deified by their domestic fans, stand up from their seats and reluctantly give applause to the Chinese!
This group of foreign Alovers are really awesome. They even brought the Red Sea to the Staples Center in Los Angeles!

This is definitely something I never dared to think about before!

Even Chengdu, the big brother that was once at its peak, could not turn the Oscars, which are of the same standard as the Grammys, into its own backyard and enjoy the worship of all fans.

It turns out that we were too conservative before!

It turns out those foreign fans were not exaggerating!

It turns out that I am the real God!!!
[Are the screams at the scene really that exaggerated? I remember it wasn’t so deafening last year! This year, there was even a red sea. Shen Juan is really a global hit! ]

[When will the Grammy Awards be held in China? ]

[It is really hard to imagine how excited this scene would make those wolf warriors, and how those foreign fans who screamed and cheered for Shen Juan until their faces turned red would break the defense of those rare wild dogs who think that China has accomplished nothing.]

【At this moment, the Red Sea is boiling and burning for love. 】

[I only know that he is the first person who told me "Love yourself before loving him". The outside world is concerned about how high we fly, but only we care about whether each other is tired from flying. This is the so-called power of light.]

[There is light in him, but he does not shine, and he is like the dust among the light.]

[The boy finally becomes the king! I am very glad that I didn’t miss him from the beginning. I have grown up with him since Star Asia. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! ]

[Shen Juan! May you start small and end great. The end of the trial is a thousand-mile blossoming of flowers. Only by creating something from nothing can you create a golden age that never ends.]

[“As long as you are famous, they want to see you fall off the cliff. They are eager to see you fall off the cliff. They hate you for being in the limelight, and they hate you for being strong and weak. When you fall from the top, they are overjoyed. They want to be superior to others even though they are inferior to others. Seeing you in the limelight, they are furious and fantasize day and night about the fall of a superstar.” Everyone wants you to fall to the bottom of the abyss, but you are the most competitive. ]

[From a cramped and gloomy practice room to the Lehua Building, from being suppressed and hidden by the original company to winning the national championship in the first year of hip-hop, from street performances that no one watched to Times Square where thousands of people were gathered, from a talent show contestant with an uncertain future to the top of the domestic entertainment industry, and even becoming a world-class pop idol nominated for three super Grammy awards, you have to admit that Shen Juan is the embodiment of miracles.]

Therefore, even Zhang Yixing, who is "just in the mountains", is probably aware of how much discussion this scene will cause after it is transmitted back to China and marketed extensively.

There is no need to even make too many modifications. Just replace the concept of Red Sea with China Red, and then edit in the dumbfounded and convinced expressions of those white people, to create an atmosphere that is even more exaggerated than when Jackie Chan won the Oscar for Lifetime Achievement. This will allow Shen Juan to forcefully enter the sinking market that doesn't pay attention to entertainment news at all, and become an outstanding young man and the pride of China in the eyes of a wider group of people!
His existence is like a huge mountain pressing down on the heads of all artists in the domestic entertainment industry who are seeking to gain popularity. They must face it head-on.

Whether it is the most basic fan traffic, or the magazine sales and number of business endorsements that symbolize the commercial value of an artist, or the higher-level movie box office, he is more than one level higher than artists of the same age.

So much so that now when the fan circles are pulling apart each other in small tables, fans of each group have already excluded Shen Juan by default, in order to avoid encouraging others and destroying their own prestige.

Now, as he has officially entered the lower-tier markets, his popularity has further increased, and his popularity has further improved.
This mountain has undoubtedly become heavier, which will make it even more difficult for the traffic under the mountain to breathe.

Zhang Yixing silently watched the red ocean formed by people of different skin colors holding light signs in the audience stands behind him, and he wailed and sighed with mixed emotions.

Since I am born, why should I feel tired?

The destiny of heaven is clear and its power is magnificent.

It seems that the trend of domestic entertainment is completely irreversible.
Shen Juan, who was performing on the stage with his good bro Ma Long, didn't think too much about it. He just followed the rhythm and sang this happy and chill hit song.

"Then you're left in the dust."

“Unless I stuck by ya.”

“You’re a sunflower.”

The nomination announcement made history and the artists’ status soared.

She appeared on the red carpet and relied on her beauty to gain exposure and traffic.

Perform on stage to attract orders and create momentum for domestic marketing.

The failure to win awards created topics and promoted the second album.

After singing this song, his series of work processes related to the Grammy Awards this year were almost all over.

Although there are still many awards to be presented and many singers waiting to go on stage, that is none of his business.

Because he knew very well that he had no chance of winning the prize, he naturally would not spend the night in a nervous and anxious state of mind.

So just enjoy the stage.

Leviathan will kill everyone who stands in its way.

All he had to do now was wait.

Or
It begins with the blinding light five days later, and gradually uncovers the mystery of this evil beast that symbolizes supreme power.
