[The Chinese Red Sea is rising across the ocean, Shen Juan sings at the Grammy Awards and lets the world hear the voice of Chinese youth! 】

After the Grammy Awards ceremony, which lasted more than three hours, various press releases were circulated online in China.

Some of them simply report the facts, some take the opportunity to bundle marketing, and some try to enter the sinking market.
In short, the Grammy Awards is, after all, the top music event that gathers the attention of fans around the world every year.

Naturally, it will receive widespread attention around the world.

This means that Shen Juan's very exciting and chill stage and the vast red sea lit up by the Alovers for Shen Juan were presented to audiences across the United States and even the world through live broadcasts.

The world once again witnessed Shen Juan’s outstanding live performance skills and his exaggerated popularity that “stands out from the crowd”.

Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok and other major social media platforms and video sites are all having heated discussions about this incident.

The trend on Twitter in various countries such as the United States, Britain and Japan has also appeared frequently. Twitter users can see #Alex Shen The Red Sea# dominating the list as soon as they enter the page.

Under this momentum, Shen Juan's personal popularity and influence and his musical works, including the second English album currently in production, have received a lot of attention and discussion.

The monthly listeners and streaming volume of TAL continue to increase, and the number of fans on Instagram and the number of subscribers to its YouTube channel are also steadily increasing.

It is obvious that Shen Juan currently has almost all the popularity data needed to be promoted to the first-line.

All he needs now is to produce better quality works, stabilize the false popularity brought by personal marketing, and convert it into his own fan traffic.

Simply put, an album is needed.

An album whose sales performance has been widely recognized by the market, proving that Underrated is not a flash in the pan and that it has the ability to go further. It is an album that is outstanding enough.

Leviathan certainly does that.

However, what followed was that after the real boss came to power, his fans began to slander and torture his competitors.

For example, Alovers believes that there is something shady going on at the Grammys and that Dua Lipa does not deserve to beat Shen Juan to win the Best New Artist award.

That’s right, she did have a huge hit.

However, her output and high-quality production rate are far inferior to Shen Juan, who has many annual chart singles.

Alex lost to Cardi B in the Best New Artist competition at major award ceremonies last year. Why did he lose to Dua Lipa again this year at a different award ceremony?

Check his stats!

"Underrated" is the best-selling book in the world! No one in the world deserves these awards and honors more than him!
He should be number one on every list!
For example, Alovers believes that when Shen Juan was performing on stage, those people in the audience who had cold and indifferent expressions and did not give enthusiastic feedback were all racists who disliked the yellow race.

Speaking of which, as Shen Juan gradually gained popularity in the North American music scene and subtly improved the living environment of young Asians, especially Chinese, through his influence, more and more Asians who have the same skin color as him and have been inspired by him seem to have an uncharacteristic desire to strive for a higher social status for themselves and get rid of their inferior status.

This also allowed them to learn from Heygui their unique skills in the underworld, which is to accuse white people of engaging in racial knights at every turn.

Although this behavior is a bit funny, it does help them to gain a lot of basic benefits to some extent.

Of course, Shen Juan knew that issues like this regarding racial status were clearly not something that he, a singer alone, could resolve.

He is not Lincoln or Martin Luther King.

But it would be enough as long as that group of Asians can get psychological comfort, as long as they believe that the racial movement they launched for the community has achieved a phased success.

Then Shen Juan will be able to gain a steady stream of support, popularity and fan popularity from the North American Asian community.

He may never become their leader.

But if it can become one of their spiritual beliefs, probably no star who worships fame and fortune will choose to refuse.

For example, the Alovers and Army are at war again.

Army laughed at Shen Juan for showing off when he got the nominations, but in the end he went home with no nominations out of three, just like the Chinese men's football team who were shaved bald. This year's Grammy Awards were purely for the sake of making up the numbers.

Alovers mocked BTS for not even being qualified to be nominated or to perform on stage, and could only serve as presenters to present unpopular awards that no one cared about.

No matter what, the round of 16 is better than being at home!

Then he asked them if they were really bulletproof?

If the general happens to go south during the compulsory military service, can BTS withstand the sun's 7.62?

As both are East Asian artists exploring the US, Shen Juan and BTS are bound to face competition and comparisons in various dimensions.

If we say that last year BTS and Shen Juan were still evenly matched in popularity, they would be evenly matched in training matches.

This year, the situation is one-sided.

It completely evolved into a father beating his son.

After all, Shen Juan has everything that BTS has, and does it better; and Shen Juan also has things that BTS doesn't have.

Whether it is the most intuitive appearance or the actual achievements in music, Shen Juan is far better than BTS.

And with the huge hit of "Sunflower" and the CP promotion of Shen Juan and A妹, the gap is getting bigger and bigger.

In this case, if those European and American fans can still like BTS over Shen Juan, there is really no more appropriate reason than that they really don't like China, or they prefer watching a few men dance rather than singing.

So Hybe is actually very anxious too.

Because according to their market research analysis, there is a certain degree of overlap between Shen Juan's potential fan audience and BTS's potential fan audience.

Or to put it more simply, fans who may like BTS may also like Shen Juan, but fans who like Shen Juan may not necessarily like BTS.

This means that Shen Juan, also an East Asian artist, is the biggest obstacle to BTS's further development in North America!
By the time Shen Juan has drained all of their potential audiences step by step, they will be completely finished!
But no matter how anxious I am, I can still be anxious.

What can they do now?

Throw mud at him and tarnish his reputation?

No chance.

The biggest black spot about her is her chaotic private life and suspected rough skin, which is a negative thing in East Asia, but in North America it is a good thing that makes the star look more attractive.

Even if this matter gets out, it might make those white girls even more crazy about and worship Shen Juan.

There is probably no fan who doesn’t want to spend a night with their idol. This is the idol benefit they have always dreamed of!

And what made them most uncomfortable was that they were unable to use any of the more insidious and despicable tricks.

After all, he is now Universal's hottest star and a human cash cow that brings them huge profits!

Do those who move around the world still want to stay in the United States?

So after Fang Shihe thought about it, it seemed that there really was a way out, which was to pray to God and invite a large number of wizards to cast spells and fight back!
Curse Shen Juan to death!
Curse Shen Juan’s second English album!
Then I wish our BTS all the best!

In order to save time, the production of the second English album officially began on the first day after the Grammy Awards.

When I woke up, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

After having a simple breakfast and parting with the Sydney girl who was called last night to sleep with Ai Cao, Shen Juan got in touch with Justin Bieber.

Before officially starting today's recording work, the Canadian pop king wanted to invite Shen Juan to visit his villa first.

He said he prefers to record songs at night.

Considering that Bieber had already escaped from the control of Diddy and his gang during this period, he would not suddenly find an open-air transition waiting for him as a token of his joining the gang.

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Juan happily agreed and took a car to Bieber's mansion in Beverly Hills.

"Hey, Alex! Long time no see!"

"Long time no see, Justin!"

Bieber seemed to have been waiting at the door for a long time. As soon as Shen Juan got out of the car, he came up to him with a smile on his face. He stood on tiptoe and hugged him enthusiastically, bumping shoulders with him. They looked like a pair of old friends who had known each other for a long time.

"How are you doing recently? I watched your Grammy performance last night at home with Hailey. You looked so handsome!"

"Thank you. Actually, I have listened to and watched your previous Grammy performances over and over again!" Shen Juan was not lying. Whenever he had free time last year, he would go online to watch the classic performances of famous singers in order to gain experience from them.

"But you also said that it was a thing of the past." Bieber was very pleased with Shen Juan's commercial flattery.

"Come on! You're not even 25 yet, stop acting like an old man, okay?"

“Hahahaha! Maybe it’s because I debuted too early. I’m actually considered an old hand in this industry.”

Shen Juan smiled noncommittally, "But after all, you are only 25 years old this year, still young and promising."

"You're right, but I have to focus more on my family and personal life than my music career."

"So when will you and Hailey have your wedding?" Shen Juan gossiped a little from the perspective of a netizen.

Ever since Bieber and Hailey got engaged last year and ended their unforgettable romance in North America, rumors have been circulating online that they are about to get married.

"Maybe in the second half of this year? Maybe tomorrow? You know, my physical condition hasn't been very good recently. I need some time to get my body back to its best condition."

This guy played too much when he was young, which resulted in a very poor health condition, and he would suffer from some torturous minor illness every now and then.

"If you need any help, just let me know!"

"I will! So if Hailey and I have a wedding in the second half of this year, Alex, you will come, right?" Bieber made the invitation seriously.

Shen Juan thought for a moment and replied, "My album will be released in April, and I should be on a world tour in the second half of the year."

"It's okay if you really don't have time." Although Bieber felt a little regretful, he didn't want to make things too difficult for Shen Juan.

Then Shen Juan smiled and added: "But I will definitely take the time to come and witness this great moment."

"Fxxk! Do you like to divide a sentence into two halves?" Bieber laughed and punched Shen Juan.

"I just wanted to see your regretful expression." "Well, then I must admit that you have achieved your goal. I am indeed a little disappointed and regretful just now."

"I noticed that you are quite different from the Justin Bieber described by the media."

Maybe it's because Bieber is portrayed as a complete bastard by the media, but after personally meeting him, I found that the real Bieber is not as bad as the media said.

So under this strong contrast, Shen Juan's impression of Bieber is pretty good, at least there is no problem in them being just ordinary friends.

Moreover, they are all world-famous top stars. Bundling them together can attract traffic and increase popularity, which is beneficial to both parties.

"Of course it's different. They tried to portray me as an angry, egomaniac, but the truth is that they used all kinds of despicable means to disgust me and try to make me angry, and then took pictures of me in a rage and posted them online. Most paparazzi are shit."

Although Bieber said that he hated paparazzi, his facial expression and tone of voice did not fluctuate, and he remained calm.

"I thought you were going to tell me everything."

"I have matured and generally do not use words like 'all', 'absolutely' or 'certainly' that leave no room for retreat."

Shen Juan laughed. In fact, the paparazzi in the domestic entertainment industry are nothing compared to the paparazzi in Hong Kong and the United States.

Why is it nothing?
Because domestic entertainment paparazzi still have some bottom line to a certain extent.

And the American paparazzi?
They just want to test your bottom line so that they can provoke you to the point of breaking your defense and take the news photos they want.

And the other side.
Although Bieber and Shen Juan had known each other for a short time and had little communication, Shen Juan even sparked an online war of words between fans of both sides in the early days of his debut because he tied him up.

But there are some people you can never become friends with no matter how long you know them, while there are some others you can be sure you have similar interests just by meeting them once.

In Bieber's opinion, Alex is undoubtedly the latter.

They both became famous at a young age and were both full of vigor and vitality.

They even have mutual friends.

For example, Ariana and Kendall.

The only difference is probably.
From the moment he became famous, he became a delicious food on the table in the eyes of some people.

Alex was well protected and was not harmed by those people or led astray.

"Let me show you around my house!"

Bieber sighed silently in his heart for the different experiences of the two people, and then took Shen Juan to visit his big mansion.

From this process, Shen Juan learned a lot more stories about Bieber and Hailey.

For example, Bieber has not purchased any property in his hometown of Canada or California where he lives in the past few years. It was not until last year that he decided to marry Hailey and spent five million dollars to buy a manor with an area of over 40 square meters in Canada.

"Wait, where have you been living before?"

"A hotel! Or I can rent a house like I do now. But there was a time when I messed up my house and was boycotted by the landlords in Beverly Hills. During that time, I had to live in the Montage Hotel near Beverly. Strictly speaking, Montage is my second home."

"So what you mean is that you are also renting this house now?" Shen Juan looked around in surprise.

"Yeah, actually I just bought a mansion in the San Fernando Valley some time ago, but the damn water pipe burst and it took several months to repair it but it still hasn't been completely healed, so I'm back to my homeless life again." Bieber doesn't mind exposing his embarrassing stories.

"How much is the rent?"

"100k USD a month. The original price seems to be more than million USD. I can't remember exactly because it's just my temporary residence for a while. In fact, I'm already looking for a new house. Let that piece of shit in San Fernando Valley die before I find someone to take it over."

"If it's so luxurious for just over a thousand, then wouldn't it be even more extravagant for more than two or three thousand?"

"If you want to buy, Alex, I can help you make the contact, and we can look at houses together during this time."

"forget it."

Although Shen Juan did have a lot of cash in his hands and could afford a top-notch mansion in Beverly Hills, considering the property tax here which was higher than the rent and the devastating fire 25 years ago that ignored the gap between the rich and the poor, Shen Juan's desire to purchase a property and enjoy a luxurious life was quietly extinguished.

"I'm not in the U.S. most of the time, so I think it's more convenient to rent a room or stay in a hotel."

"I also have channels for renting houses. If you need anything, remember to call me." Bieber made a phone call gesture.

"Thank you buddy."

As an outsider entering the North American market, it will be of great benefit to Shen Juan's future development if he can get to know the local leaders.

"You are a friend I recognize. There is no need for us to be so polite. By the way, how about we have lunch at home later?"

"do it yourself?"

"I don't think it's impossible, of course the premise is that you don't mind my and my wife's cooking skills." Bieber was in high spirits.

"Do you think I am that kind of person?"

"No, but maybe after you eat the food we made."

“Holy shit!”

(Bieber bought a mansion for $19 million in March 3)

As it turns out, this top couple may have a special chef to cook for them, so the cooking skills are indeed a bit abstract.

This also prompted Shen Juan to specially post an Instagram post to complain about the matter, and the two of them also responded remotely on their own Instagram accounts, attracting a large number of fans and netizens to discuss.

We talked about everything from music to sports, from entertainment gossip to the international situation, from past experiences to our love life.

Because the two have many common topics, Shen Juan's collaboration with Bieber this time is undoubtedly very pleasant.

Not only did I get a great song, but I also gained a friend who helped me in many ways.

After completing the recording of "10000 Hours" and saying goodbye to Bieber and Hailey, Shen Juan continued with the subsequent album production in a relaxed and happy mood.

Two days passed quickly.

During this period, Shen Juan's "Cruel Summer", which was released in advance on February 2, also achieved its first week results.

"Cruel Summer" - Alex Shen, last week's ranking -, highest ranking 10, number of weeks on the list 1
In addition, Shen Juan has several singles that have been released for some time and are still at the top of the charts.

For example, "Sunflower" was squeezed to third place by "Happier" by Marshmallow and "7 Rings" by Ariana Grande.

For example, "Eastside", which was pushed to 11th place by "Cruel Summer", was a hit against itself.

If "Canxia" and "Dongbian" can perform a little bit better, Shen Juan will have three TOP 10 singles at the same time.

It can only be said that to some extent, he has indeed touched the threshold of first-line singers.

After all, having three top 10 singles at the same time means that you can gain recognition from a wider market group with a large diversion of fan data, which is a difficult achievement that many well-known first-line singers cannot unlock.

On the morning of February 2, Shen Juan met with singer Lil Nas X, whom he contacted through Tuo Huanqiu, in a cafe.

This 2019-year-old rapper, who looks very young and even a little gay, is the creator of the 12 Billboard Hot Champion "Old Town Road". He is also the singer of the League of Legends S Global Finals theme song "STAR WALKIN'".

However, at this point in time, the popularity of "Old Town Road", which was released at the end of last year, has not yet fermented through Tik Tok, and he is still unknown and no one cares about him.

So when he got a call from Universal staff and learned that the famous Alex wanted to cooperate with him and asked him if he had any intention of signing with a record company such as Universal, he explained the matter to almost all his relatives and friends he could contact. He was so excited that he almost punched the ceiling!
He had had enough of the poverty-stricken and hopeless life after dropping out of college!

In his eyes, Alex is the Messiah who can pull him out of the quagmire of hell and lead him to a better life!

So even if he was asked to kneel down and suck Alex's dick in front of everyone, he would be willing to do it!

Of course, Shen Juan is not gay, so he naturally would not mess around with a gay man who might come out at any time.

The reason why he chose to work with this newly debuted rapper is nothing more than the following simple reasons:
No gang background:
Shen Juan was of good family background, so naturally he didn't want to hang out with gangsters and give his rivals a chance to attack him.

Moreover, he cherishes his life very much. The online trolls in America might really use a fire stick to kill him offline.

Give him a hand while he's still a fool and make him grateful:

This is something he learned from Bieber.

The icing on the cake is never as good as the timely help.

Although Shen Juan is only twenty years old, when he meets a junior who can be recognized by him or has investment value, he is always crazy about showing favors and helping them whenever he can.

Possess certain business capabilities and development prospects:
Li Nacha’s Old Town Road is not the only hit song, he also produced several other hit singles afterwards.

Moreover, Shen Juan just happened to have a few songs that required rapper collaboration, so letting Li Na sing "Mood" might achieve better commercial results than the original time and space.

If you can't beat it, join:

Since Old Town Road is unstoppable this year with the help of traffic from Douyin (the original version topped the charts from mid-April to August), he might as well find time to release a remix version to catch this flying sports car that is destined to take off (the remix version, not the original version, dominated the Hot 100 charts in the original version).

"So Alex, are you really willing to feature my song "Old Town Road" and shoot a music video with me?"

"Of course, but the prerequisite is that we have to finish this song "Mood" first." Shen Juan looked at the excited Xiao Hei in front of him, and smiled and told him a piece of exciting news that made him even more excited: "When I met JB a few days ago, he said he was also interested in this song."

"So what you mean is..." Li Nacha's eyes widened. Could it be that it is really like what I thought in my heart?

"If the song does well after it's released, maybe the three of us can release a remix of 'Mood' to have fun with and achieve better results." Shen Juan took a sip of the steaming coffee and said with a gentle smile, "I think it should be fun, what do you think, Nas?"

"OMG!!!"

"Alex, you are my God!!!"
