Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 33 The heat continues to rise
The three-day short break after the recording of the five-to-four elimination round of "Hip-Hop in China" passed quickly.

Time has entered the midsummer of July.

Shen Juan had the last job he needed to handle before returning to Beijing Film Academy to take the final exams.

Cover shoot for the August issue of Figaro.

"Xiao Juan, the magazines you shot after returning to China have all had very good results and good sales. So Cool sold 3,000 copies, and OK! Wonderful sold 5,000 copies. The magazines have given very good feedback and are interested in seeking cooperation with us next time."

Yangjin Zhuoma usually talks about work with Shen Juan on her way to work, and this time was no exception. She started chatting with him on the way to the studio.

“But I think that with the broadcast of Hip Hop in China, your traffic and popularity in China have increased to a certain extent. We probably don’t need to continue cooperating with them. What do you think?”

"I think so too." Shen Juan yawned with sleepy eyes, "These two magazines are more suitable for helping newcomers to show their faces in the fashion circle, but not suitable for artists who already have a traffic base to improve their status and fashion influence."

"And if Dior or other brands such as Tiffany that our company is in contact with really value me, they probably won't push this kind of high-level magazine to put me on the cover. It's just embarrassing for them." After saying that, Shen Juan closed his eyes and began to rest.

Alas. It’s no wonder that he always looks listless and sleepy every time he gets up early to do announcements.

No tricks.

Who made Shen Juan’s tiredness the tiredness of sleepiness?

Yangjin Zhuoma nodded in agreement: "Under the current environment and rules, the flow of entertainment industry is updated very quickly, and there will be a reshuffle every two or three years. Therefore, not only those Internet giants and film and television companies that have entered the entertainment industry, but also these luxury brands in the fashion circle are likely to invest and layout in advance."

"After all, new traffic that has just started to gain momentum and has not yet established itself is often both obedient and cheap, and fans' desire to consume and their willingness to spend money are usually very strong. Probably no one can refuse such a cost-effective deal."

"Yes, some people even don't want to pay for the title. It can only be said that luxury goods have an extraordinary appeal to traffic." Shen Juan replied, leaning back in his chair.

Because there are too many people, I won’t name them here.

“So if it were you, you would rather not take the money but get the title?” Yangjin Zhuoma joked with a smile.

"That depends on whether I have the confidence to take the money when negotiating the contract!" Shen Juan shrugged. He actually didn't have to take the endorsement fee.

After all, unless the spokesperson is a top celebrity who truly has super influence and super sales ability on a global scale or in the main luxury consumption market, the top luxury brands generally will not pay too much to their own spokespersons.

In fact, celebrities don’t make money from this.

All they want is the reputation of a luxury brand.

The team then uses this status to conduct marketing promotions and improve the status of their own artists, thereby gaining more high-quality resources and higher endorsement fees.

So it’s best to have it, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t.

At least for now, Shen Juan doesn't think he is any different from other stars or other traffic stars.

Therefore, he will not deliberately pursue privileges that others do not have and become a unique exception in the market.

After a 40-minute drive, we got to the subway station, had a brief introduction with the shooting team and communicated about the shooting theme and details, and then started the formal shooting work.

The shooting process was no different from previous ones. For Shen Juan, who already had relevant shooting experience, it was a bit tiring, but still relatively easy and simple.

The shooting started at 10 am and ended at 9 pm.

On the way back to the rental house, Shen Juan took out his mobile phone out of boredom and started to check today's entertainment news.

But it’s mainly about looking at content that’s relevant to you.

Kiwi's "Hip-Hop in China" will update its second episode at 60 o'clock tonight, which is the episode where Shen Juan sings GALI's "Crystal" in the -second qualifying competition.

The number of views and online popularity remain encouraging.

The discussion about him is also quite heated at the moment.

[I declare that the best song of this episode has appeared.] [Damn! Shen Juan's appearance killed the competition!]

[Shen Juan is as dazzling as crystal. ]

【The only shortcoming of this song is that it is too short. 】

[Is no one paying attention to Wu Jiaheng's reaction? When he heard Shen Juan cue him in the last line of the lyrics, he couldn't hold back his pretentious face anymore, hahahaha! ]

[I think Shen Juan's song Crystal and Pi Jiwan's song are the best of the show. This is just my personal opinion. If you don't agree, please don't criticize me.]

[No wonder so many female Korean fans call him a great C and an all-around ACE. He really has some strength. ]

[With his top-notch looks, highly recognizable voice and intonation, and his live performance that is as stable as in the recording studio, it would be unreasonable for him to be eliminated. In my heart, he is definitely a strong contender for the championship.]

In addition, there was also discussion about his lack of respect for other contestants and his violent comments on stage.

[Fuck, this guy is so arrogant, he directly says others are not good enough, isn’t he afraid of getting beaten for commenting on others like this, haha! ]

[I think there is nothing wrong with what he said. If it works, it works. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t. Anyway, I like his personality. If he has the ability, he should be confident! ]

[Shen Juan is more real than most rappers. ]

[Other stars are just bragging through marketing, but Shen Juan is the only one who really makes us, the passersby, feel awesome. This guy is damn handsome! ]

[Anyway, I have a good impression of this idol named Shen Juan. If Lu Han, Huang Zitao and the other sissy guys could be like him, why would so many people scold them? ]

[Let me make it clear in advance that I am neither Nantong nor a fujoshi, but I found that he and that funny guy named Nuomi had a pretty good CP feeling when they were chatting with a cold face.]

seriously?
Are there still viewers who ship CPs in this kind of show?
Shen Juan was almost irritated by this group of geniuses.

Even if I haven’t acted in any gay drama or sold any homosexual stuff, I can still be linked to this.

What would happen if this were to be performed?

But speaking of Nuomi, this guy is said to have been working on songs behind closed doors after returning to his hometown, intending to seize this popularity that could pass at any time and severely DISS Pidgewan to vent his anger, while also attracting traffic for himself.

Uh. Could it be Pidgey Pidgey I want Disney?

Shen Juan keeps an eye on this and wishes him success.

Then he opened the Weibo APP.

The number of Weibo fans is still growing, and the number of super topic check-ins has increased from 2 when I just returned to China to 3 now.

A full 10,000 active fans who are willing to provide data for them.

This is already a very good increase.

Although it cannot be compared with the speed at which the popular contestants who participated in Idol Producer in 18 gained fans, you have to know that this is only the second episode. Because there are a large number of contestants in the early stage, the shots allocated to each person are ultimately limited, and the fan-attracting effect is undoubtedly not as strong as in the later stage.

Moreover, compared to "Idol Producer" which only targets fan circle audiences, the program "Hip-Hop in China" is more about helping Shen Juan expand his popularity among young groups.

So Shen Juan had no dissatisfaction.

He is very content and very clear about his goals.

He doesn't seek to achieve success overnight. As long as he builds a certain level of fan base through this program, he will be able to access high-quality resources that will allow him to reach the next level.

　In fact, competition shows like The Rap of China are like Mango TV's I Am a Singer. They value rhyme and showmanship more than the melody. So many popular rap songs can't be shown in the show. What's more, the songs need to be selected according to the actual situation of the protagonist (the lyrics sung by the rapper must be written by himself. If he finds a ghostwriter to write them, or writes and sings them randomly, he will be boycotted and scolded badly.), so songs like "Economy Class" and "Hey KONG" can't be copied at all, because they are too different from the protagonist's experience.
　　Finally, I would like to recommend Ai'er's "Thousands of Miles". I wonder what you think of this kind of melody rap.
