Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 326 is about to enter the legendary stage (thanks to Penguin Fanfan for being the leader)

The main business of an entertainment company can generally be divided into: artist management and promotion, music IP production and operation, pan-entertainment business, artist training and overseas market expansion.

To put it simply: earning income sharing from signed artists, producing, distributing and promoting music works and film and television variety shows, training trainees and opening branches overseas to earn foreign exchange.

Shen Juan's parent company, Lehua, has become a large entertainment company covering all of the above businesses through ten years of hard work.

Although Starlink is just getting started, it is mainly focused on artist management, promotion and artist training business.

But thanks to Shen Juan's relatively good personal cooperative relationship with the three major BAT companies and some local TV stations, and his certain overseas connections and distribution channels, if Starlink wants to get involved in the film and television industry or develop overseas business in the future, it will probably not be too difficult.

Of course, at least for now, Starlink’s main business is still the idol economy in domestic entertainment.

This is the business with the lowest entry threshold.

And this thing will only be available for a few years.

If we don’t seize the time, once the milk dumping incident in 21 ferments, the idol industry in China’s entertainment industry will completely collapse.

Therefore, although Liu Yuxin, Kong Xueer, Jin Zihan, Liu Lingzi, Liu Xiening, Jiang Zhenyu, Nene, and Shen Xiaoting, these new and unknown celebrities in the domestic entertainment industry, have just joined the company, their life trajectories in the next few years have actually already been determined.

Some of them will join a limited group and work in the domestic entertainment industry for two years on government subsidies and receive the minimum living allowance. Some will switch to acting after getting the bonuses from the talent show. Some will be arranged to participate in talent shows overseas. If things go well, they can directly join the overseas girl group that only exists in conception and has not yet been formally formed.

In addition, Li Ziqi, who is in the period of rapid career development, was reminded by Shen Juan some time ago that the conflicts between her and Weinian over development concepts and interest distribution also surfaced in advance.

Although it still costs a lot to terminate the contract, it is at least much better than waiting for a few years before completely breaking up.

Moreover, Shen Juan's side is definitely guided by the creator's will. After all, he is a creator himself, so he will naturally not interfere too much in other people's content creation, nor will he hold on to this cash cow and use her name to forcibly profit.

So it’s exactly the same as G.E.M., who is currently in court with Hummingbird and is about to go solo and enter the golden period of her acting career.

The two of them hit it off almost immediately and each got what they wanted.

Li Ziqi directly joined Shen Juan's Starlink, and together with the sisters Angelina and Dasha Taran, who had been following the Volaf patriotic route in Shanghai for more than half a year, they formed the initial artist framework of the Starlink MCN department.

At that time, the company staff will also use Shen Juan’s social media account and leverage Shen Juan’s influence to promote them.

On the one hand, we are strengthening national confidence internally, and on the other hand, we are improving China's international image externally. It's perfect to achieve both internal and external success!
As for those tall and big amateur girls who had long been clinging to Shen Juan's lap, Shen Juan would certainly not forget them.

Hu Lianxin, Li Wanda, Shen Yujie, Bao Lujia, Shan Yichun, and Lin Boyang, the roommate of the roast goose madam.

As long as there is no agency, I will not let any of them go.

Among them, Li Wanda and Lin Boyang are particularly prominent. One of them gave up the opportunity to sign with Wong Kar-wai's company to star in "Ip Man 4" last year, and the other gave up the audition opportunity for Zhang Yimou's new film "Rock Solid" some time ago. In order to join Starlink, they missed the possibility of becoming the new generation of "Mou Girl".

Shen Juan would naturally not treat them unfairly.

"Yue Lao" is the team-building gift package after signing the contract.

Low cost, high return, and convenient for placing actors.

Of course, the resource allocation for the contracted young actresses in the actor department is definitely graded and it is impossible to treat them all equally.

After all, everything is based on first come first served.

Zhou Ye and Tian Xiwei have been waiting for Starlink to be established for a long time, and then join in to become the company's No. 001 and No. 002 players (both want to be No. 001). Shen Juan will naturally give them the face and resources they deserve.

The first day of April coincides with the beginning of the week.

The poor kids can only attend classes honestly, but the most outstanding students in the history of Beijing Film Academy can go out and play openly.

Beijing Happy Valley.

A tall man wearing a mask and sunglasses, whose identity was unknown but who looked very expensive, and two young girls who were also wearing masks attracted a lot of attention from passers-by along the way.

"Boss, I have saved enough money in the past year to achieve financial freedom, so I plan to quit my job and return home."

"Me too!"

After living in Shanghai for more than half a year, Angelina and Dashatalan can now communicate normally in most situations, although their Mandarin still has some accents.

Facts have proved that as long as you are willing to learn, it is impossible not to learn a language. Didn’t you see that even the savage Friday took less than a year to learn English from Robinson Crusoe?
"But didn't you just sign a new contract to join the company?" Shen Juan glanced at them casually with his usual expression. His cold eyes without any warmth or emotional fluctuations made the two girls, who had already regarded their boss as their life dream and spiritual sustenance, inexplicably moved and excited.

I love it when my boss looks at me with contempt as if I were trash! It would be even better if he could do the same when I do it!
"It was indeed signed, but we regret it now!" Angelina was responsible for communication and Dashatalan was responsible for nodding.

"So do you think I should ask you for liquidated damages?"

"Boss, why don't you look surprised at all?" Angelina asked with some surprise and dissatisfaction: "Are Dasha and I really not important at all in your heart?"

"You think I don't know that today is April Fools' Day?"

Moreover, both of you took the initiative to send me the nude photos earlier, so isn't this a pure act of backstabbing?

"I can't fool you, boss."

Dasha Taran stuck out her tongue, a cute move she learned on the Chinese Internet, and said it was very adorable.

"I'm not a durac (Russian for fool)." Shen Juan shrugged. "Besides, celebrities in the entertainment industry are very sensitive to April Fools' Day, because many marketing plans are related to April Fools' Day, and today is also a carnival day for fans."

"By the way, boss, have you read Weibo today? Those fans are all discussing team building in the super topic." Angelina took out her cell phone.

"Let me see."

Shen Juan took Angelina's phone and started looking at the collection of April Fools' Day activities by domestic entertainment fans compiled by the marketing account.

Lu Han’s fan club posted a post about the Land CP in the super chat, and wrote: You are afraid of heights, I am afraid of water, only land is the safest.

Even if it was an April Fool's Day prank, Dilraba's fans didn't want to have anything to do with Lu Han, so they posted the cover of Shen Juan and Dilraba's MV "Alien" in the super chat.

Yang Mi’s fan page posted a photo of Liu Kaiwei and Wang Ou and Shen Juan’s popular photo of the Paris fireworks at the beginning of the year titled “Superstar of the Times”. What the hints were, only those who understand will understand. Xiao Chunjuan was very angry, but since today is April Fool’s Day and everyone is having fun, it’s really hard to get angry. She can only keep it in mind and wait for the right time to settle accounts with everyone!
Yang Ying's fan club posted a photo of Yang Ying and Shen Juan backstage at the MAMA Hong Kong Island stop. Actually, the photo was originally a photo of three people, but the guy next to him was cut out. Poor Warin always seems to be unable to escape the fate of being cut out of group photos.

Wu Jiaheng's fan club posted a photo of Shen Juan holding up the MVP trophy at the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game this year, with the caption: [Let's be immortal.]

(As the non-official prince of the LVMH Group and the global spokesperson of LV, LV will naturally use all means to build momentum for Shen Juan. The words Shen Juan said to Gabriel naturally spread gradually under the promotion of LV, and became the declaration of Shen Juan's imminent conquest of the world in the hearts of countless overseas Alovers)

Netizens joked that both Wu Jiaheng and Megan had been completely conquered by Shen Juan, and only on April Fools' Day every year did they dare to express their true thoughts.

Zhang Yixing's fan club posted a photo of Shen Juan and Zhang Yixing at the Grammy Awards and captioned: [Chinese twin stars. ]

Apparently even the fans are embarrassed by the original creator's shameless marketing bundling strategy, and can only take this opportunity to vent in this humorous and less serious way.

Tian Xiwei's fan club or the fan club of Spring CP (common sense in the fan circle: Tian's fan club has no single fans) posted one of Spring's few kissing scenes in "So Cute We Are" and captioned: [How would you describe the day we met? ]

Cheng Xiao's fan page posted a screenshot of Shen Juan and Cheng Xiao's proposal in the MV "Lucky Me", and added a Chinese translation of one of the lyrics: [I gaze at the rest of my life.]

Song Zuer’s fan club posted a photo of Song Zuer and Shen Juan in the TV series “Our Times”.

As the exclusive madam of Emperor Juan who was the first to have an affair with Shen Juan but who had always used the titles of "good brother" and "good girlfriend" to cover up the relationship, Shao E still has a lot of status and strength.

Anyway, Wajuan would buy her a lot of value-preserving luxury goods such as Hermès bags every year, and whenever something went wrong he would put the blame on her and ask her to take the blame and take the blame for Xiaoye and the others.

Nazha’s fan first posted the classic emoji of the owner of the pond smiling evilly, and then posted a screenshot of the live broadcast of Shen Juan and Nazha holding hands in the final of “China’s Hip Hop”, which made her crazy, and captioned: [Who said that Nazha didn’t ascend? ]

Well, it did ascend.

The aesthetic level has risen, and my brother-in-law's class has risen.

Ni Ni’s fan club posted a photo of Ni Ni’s rumored boyfriend Shen Juan.

Last year, it was revealed by Shen Juan's fans that the two of them were suspected of staying in the same hotel. What's most surprising is that someone reviewed the timeline and said that the selfie with a flushed face that Ni Ni posted on Weibo that day was most likely taken afterwards, because the layout and decoration in the background of the photo were exactly the same as that hotel.

Zhang Tianai’s fans pieced together Yang Yang’s greasy expression of sticking out tongue in the epic flop drama “Fights Break Sphere” and Shen Juan’s calm expression in the face of the flash lights.

Although it seems like nothing was said, it also seems like everything was said. All we can say is that the failure of "Fights Break Sphere", a drama that the platform had high hopes for, affected the subsequent development of many people, and the fans of the heroine obviously hated the hero.

As for Shen Juan, if he followed the trend of the domestic entertainment industry and posted photos of his rumored partner, the workload for his fans would be quite heavy. So after thinking it over, he decided not to post it and directly posted a statement that Shen Juan and Le Hua had terminated their contract, thus expressing the fans' demands.

Obviously, the little spring rolls didn't want to see Shen Juan continue to stay in Lehua and suck their blood, so they made the matter a hot topic, forcing Lehua's official Weibo to issue a statement to claim that the matter was unfounded.

In general, Shen Juan became the target of many fans of domestic entertainment stars today. Some posted photos of Shen Juan and his wife, while others pretended to be Shen Juan's fans and posted handsome photos of Shen Juan.

#一千家站姐發了沈娟# naturally became a top trending search, attracting countless netizens to discuss it.

[As expected, appearance and performance are the hard currency! 】

【Laughing to death! A large-scale team-building activity to settle personal grudges!】

【The fact proves that many people in the fan circle only dare to speak their mind on April Fools' Day. Sisters, don't be embarrassed. It's not too late to turn over a new leaf now! 】【There's no other way. The sunk cost is too high. Do you think those fans don't want to be fans of Shen Juan? Do you think those fans don't know that being fans of Shen Juan can make money? They are just reluctant to give up their previous investment. They are worried that all the fans will go to Shen Juan, resulting in too many wolves and too little meat. Now they can't get a share of the cake. 】

[The most amazing thing is that the tradition of April Fools' Day fan club building was originally introduced from the Korean entertainment industry next door, and guess what? This year, all the Kpop fans next door are posting pictures of Shen Juan, hahaha! EXO, Bae Joo Hyun, BTS, TWICE, BLACKPINK, and Wa Juan are once again attacking the Korean wave in their homeland. ]

[There is a reason why this guy still has so many dream girls despite all the scandals. In this world full of dazzling flowers, there is indeed only one Shen Juan.]

[Am I the only one counting how many celebrity fans posted pictures of Shen Juan and his rumored girlfriend? ]

[This is no longer news. We all know what Wa Juan's private life is like. So instead of paying attention to these celebrity sisters-in-law who have already surfaced, it is better to pay attention to those amateur sisters-in-law who are well protected by Wa Juan. That is the base camp of Wa Juan as an amateur killer. It would be really awesome if you could dig out the information of those sisters-in-law.]

[I know there is Zhou Ye in Beijing Film Academy, are there any others? ]

[There seems to be something wrong with Song Zuer's dormitory. ]

[That's quite wrong, sisters. Let's not talk about Song Zuer for now. When Hu Lianxin, Lin Boyang and Sun Zhenni were interviewed for their art exams, they all said that they applied to the Beijing Film Academy because of Shen Juan. I can't imagine how happy Shen Juan must be in private.]

After reading the comments, Shen Juan returned the phone to Angelina, then took the coffee that Dasha Taran bought for her.

With just one phone call, these two Maomei internet celebrities, who have become goddesses in the hearts of countless people with their stunning looks, were called to Beijing.

This friend is right, it is indeed very refreshing.

But that's about it.

Although it sounds a bit pretentious, this kind of life that others dream of has indeed become his ordinary daily life.

There was no sense of surprise or unexpectedness.

There is no sense of accomplishment or pride.

When a person's threshold is raised, what he strives for becomes feelings at a higher level or in other dimensions.

But rather than satisfying his psychological needs through all kinds of weird and strange behaviors, Shen Juan prefers to stay on the stage and become an idol and spiritual sustenance for more people.

Then do what you want to do to the extreme.

Since March 3, when Ariana Grande, the first female superstar of the birth generation, and Kung Fu superstar Jackie Chan launched a countdown challenge on social media, Shen Juan, who was once hailed as "the next Justin Bieber" and is now known as the "Z Generation Pop King", has begun to promote Leviathan.

43 Pa Jie and Dilraba Yang Zi, 44 Victoria's Secret supermodels, IZONE and the four-member group of Mushroom House except Shen Juan.

Domestic and foreign, East Asia and North America, people I have worked with, people I have met, people I have a certain personal relationship with, people I have a vested interest in.
Shen Juan and Universal used almost all the publicity and promotional resources and connections from all walks of life that could be used.

Just to help Leviathan explode as soon as it goes online!

Big bang, big bang!

Although Shen Juan's sign-holding countdown was only 20 days, not as long as Justin Bieber's 30 days, he was not inferior in terms of the star power of the participating guests.

Moreover, thanks to the speed of Internet communication in the streaming media era and the high-frequency transnational publicity around the Pacific Rim, the influence and coverage of Shen Juan's version of the sign-holding countdown is even greater than that of Justin Bieber's "return to the right path".

Whether it is America, the world's pop music center, or important music markets with large populations in East Asia and Southeast Asia, Shen Juan has considerable influence, which also allows him to start this sign-holding countdown event from the two anchor points of North America and China and gradually spread it to all parts of the world.

Let music fans from neighboring countries at the East and West poles, such as Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, Canada, Brazil, and Europe across the Atlantic Ocean from North America, participate through Instagram and Douyin.

Let’s become part of this trend together!

Therefore, Shen Juan has appeared on Twitter trends in various countries frequently during this period. His YouTube subscriptions, Google search index, and monthly listeners have continued to surge. Under the influence of so many celebrities, his number of Instagram fans has also successfully exceeded 90 million and is approaching 100 million.

Countless fans were excited and exclaimed: Alex's sense of mission and charm as a contemporary pop star began to show!
Each of us is a witness to a new era!
Although Instagram followers can actually be purchased with money.

For example, many big internet celebrities in Europe and the United States and many unknown celebrities in China like to buy some Instagram fans for themselves to show off.

The only difference is that the former is to expand the scale, while the latter is for the team to find another way to promote their own artists' popularity overseas.

But Shen Juan's water injection amount was the least.

Just like his current number of Weibo followers has barely broken 30 million.

Just enough is enough, there is no point in having more.

People who truly pursue stars and have a certain amount of knowledge will not look at the false data of Weibo fans, and netizens who are fooled by the Weibo fan data will not pursue stars.

Moreover, the fact that he has so few fans on Weibo would only make those celebrities with 70 to 80 million or even over 100 million fans feel ashamed and embarrassed.

After all, Shen Juan's rise to fame is mainly based on his overseas career, so naturally he won't follow the rules of domestic entertainment.

He himself is a whole new standard.

In other words, Shen Juan, the K-pop idol, the champion of the first year of hip-hop, the prince of LVMH, the nominee of the Golden Horse Award, the pride of Beijing Film Academy, the son of Shanghai.
The Z-generation pop superstar with an extremely complex identity, a very rich resume, and an astonishingly high commercial value is single-handedly challenging and subverting the entire world's music landscape!

Hybe Seoul Building, Speaker's Office.

Looking at the news reports from different online media outlets hyping up Shen Juan, Fang Shihe's expression became increasingly ugly.

As the absolute mainstay and cash cow of their company, BTS' sixth mini-album "Map of the Soul: Persona" is scheduled to be released on April 4.

And this day happened to be the day when Shen Juan's album "Leviathan", which attracted a lot of attention and expectations from the outside world, was launched.

This means that if they do not announce the withdrawal of the film, they will have to face off against their destined enemy Shen Juan.

(Wa Juan: I can’t really call him an opponent)
So during this period of time, he has been paying attention to Shen Juan's various developments, and the frequency is even higher than when he was studying Shen Juan, a living East Asian artist's successful case in the United States.

The more I watched, the more uncomfortable I felt, and the more I wanted to cry.

He actually knew that he didn't really hate or dislike Shen Juan that much. He always hated Shen Juan.
Why is Shen Juan not in my company? Why is such a perfect and high-quality artist not under my command?

Asiba ki stuff it!

What makes him most uncomfortable is not the South Korean media that fawns on Chinese men, but the nominations for the 26th Billboard Music Awards announced today.

（评选统计的时间区间是从2018年3月23日至2019年3月7日，沈倦近段时间累积的榜单成绩数据有一部分没算进去）

Shen Juan received ten nominations including Best New Artist, Best Male Artist, Best Billboard 200 Artist, Best Billboard Hot Artist, Hot Songs Artist, Best Song Sales Artist, and Best Social Artist.

Regardless of whether he will win the award in the end, considering Shen Juan's extremely special Chinese identity in North America, it is most likely a game and exchange of interests between the record company and the organizer.

Anyway, just these many high-quality nominations are enough to show that Shen Juan has completely broken into the core circle of the North American music scene, further widening the gap with BTS, who was competing for the "Best Social Artist" on the same stage last year.

So there is nothing to hesitate about.

Just find a suitable reason to postpone the release. The current BTS really cannot compete with Shen Juan. To put it bluntly, they are not even qualified to be on the PK stage.

Those who achieve great things can bend and stretch.

In life, we must know how to retreat in order to advance and wait for the right opportunity.

Don't try to stop a chariot with your bare hands, only to bring disgrace upon yourself.

(Use your imagination to compare the images of Fang Zhu taking two girls shopping in Los Angeles and Wa Juan taking two girls to visit Happy Valley in Beijing)
