Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 345: Common Birthday (Thanks to Li Zi Xiao Xiao Cheng for the four leaders who gave the reward)

As time goes by, the online heat about this year's Wandao Golden Melody Awards and the top ten luxury spokespersons continues to ferment.

On the one hand, the Wandao Golden Melody Awards have been declining in recent years due to various reasons and have gradually become an unknown wild award, causing them to be very eager to return to the public and restore their former glory through this year's award ceremony, which has been confirmed that Shen Juan will attend.

Therefore, a lot of resources have been invested during this period to promote the nominees for several awards this year, especially Shen Juan.

Taiwanese media reported that the Golden Melody Awards organizers are trying their best to get Shen Juan to visit Taiwan again to attend this year's Golden Melody Awards ceremony.

Wandao Alovers were happy and excited, but also nervous and worried, so they went online to warn those groups with ulterior motives not to take the opportunity to cause trouble. They also said that if anyone dared to cause trouble in front of Brother Juan again and caused all Wandao fans to be banished to the cold palace by Brother Juan, they would kill the entire family of the troublemaker!
PTT, a well-known "hell forum" on Wandao Island, also launched a heated discussion on this matter:
【Support fans to kill the whole family. 】

【Support Alex to dominate the world. 】

[Why are there so many crazy people? ]

[Honestly, having a singer like Alex come to judge the Golden Melody Awards is like having Robert De Niro compete for the Golden Horse Awards. How can anyone else compare? Can the organizers give the award to the local singer? No matter how big the home advantage is, it can never be bigger than the gap in status! ]

[Hasn't the lesson last time been enough? Shen Juan is the most subscribed Asian on YT and IG. He's really pissed off. If he sends his fans to attack us, we won't be able to handle it! I think we should not stir up trouble. Stirring up trouble now is equivalent to giving the other side the opportunity to openly launch an online war. ]

[It doesn't matter. I can't win anyway, so I'll just surrender. No one watches the Golden Melody Awards anyway, so I think it's OK to give him ten trophies at once.]

Well-known music blogger Erdi, who has been questioned by netizens for habitually praising singers from Hong Kong, Taiwan and foreign countries, posted:

[This year's Golden Melody Awards nominations are out, Shen Juan has become the singer with the most nominations, and has been shortlisted for almost all important awards. I don't know what you think, but I personally think he absolutely deserves it! "Weisha" can be regarded as the representative album of the Chinese music scene in 2018 from both a musical and commercial perspective. Shen Juan will make corresponding changes in his music style according to the aesthetic preferences of different countries' markets. This is the important reason why he has become popular all over the world in just two years. He is so good at capturing and catering to the aesthetic preferences of young people today! So no matter how many trophies Shen Juan can get at this year's Golden Melody Awards ceremony, I won't be surprised, because Taylor is right, he is the perfect embodiment of the contemporary music industry. #Golden Melody Awards Nominations#]

In addition, he paid a bunch of music bloggers and well-known music critics, both big and small, to rehash old material. Before the award ceremony officially began, he gave a second interpretation of Shen Juan's Chinese album "Weixia" released at the end of last year, forcibly giving it more value and meaning and a more awesome album concept.

There is a kind of flawless and pure beauty in the Chinese reading comprehension test of the college entrance examination where even the original author could not get full marks.

But to be honest, that's about it.

Shen Juan didn't take this matter too seriously.

After all, today is different from the past.

The current king of singers has no value anymore.

If the opponents he defeated were all Zhou Lintao Kings, then he would certainly gain a certain degree of sense of accomplishment and pride.

but now?
It is a honor to win an award, and it would be shameful if you don't win one.

If it wasn't for the purpose of enhancing his historical status in the Chinese music scene and avoiding being like his role model Justin Bieber when he first debuted, who received no authoritative awards and completely became a pop king of catchy songs, he would not have bothered to take the time to go to Wandao to attend this long-forgotten and self-satisfied rural award.

After all, he still remembered the grudge of being insulted in person by Jianzhong at the last Golden Horse Awards.

On the other hand, since Shen Juan was officially announced as the global spokesperson for Hennessy and Porsche this month, the brands he endorses, especially large international brands such as Coca-Cola, Adidas, and Louis Vuitton, have clearly increased their promotion and publicity for him on a global scale.

Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Seoul, Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris, Berlin.
Luxury goods advertisements of different specifications and sizes are being placed madly in the central areas of major first-tier cities around the world.

The latest global advertising blockbusters are also being circulated frequently on network television in various countries.

The words "There will be no explanation. There will just be leviathan" that Shen Juan said when receiving the Billboard Music Award for Best New Artist became a global advertising slogan before the official start of the Leviathan Era world tour under Universal's promotion.

Compared with Taylor, Gaga, Bieber and others who became world-famous in the download era, Shen Juan, who rose to fame in the streaming media era, obviously has an advantage in terms of the speed of his rise. The highly developed and popular Internet can effectively help this "youth opinion leader of Generation Z" quickly become popular on the Internet.

Moreover, he has an ability that no other European and American singers and actors possess, that is, business and fashion.

Having the support of a fan club has its advantages.

Being born in China has its advantages.

Of course, pure-blooded Chinese people will suffer losses when they go to North America.

But it’s not as bad as imagined.

After all, the size of fans, cohesion and purchasing power that Chinese artists possess are precious treasures that many European and American artists will never be able to obtain in their entire lives.

Therefore, as long as they can withstand the pressure from domestic rivals and capital: the major domestic entertainment capitals, especially Tencent, have actually never wanted Shen Juan to go to the United States, because if Shen Juan goes to the United States and releases an album overseas, it means that the money of Shen Juan’s fans will flow overseas, making them earn much less and reap less leeks.

Let fans raise funds to lay a solid foundation for yourself.

Plus having sufficient outstanding business capabilities.

There is still a certain probability that one can jump out of the traffic rules framework, step onto the long steps to godhood, and replicate Shen Juan's path to godhood.

However, Shen Juan himself did not pay much attention to the marketing strategies being implemented by these brands.

He still followed the familiar working mode: he worked hard when it was time to film, took a good rest when it was time to rest, checked Weibo to learn about current affairs, checked Moments to keep up with his friends, chatted with Xiao Xiao who was working on her personal EP, and played Landlord with Xiao Ye and Xiao Tian after work in the evening.
In this relaxed and pleasant filming atmosphere, time quickly came to this special day, May 5th.

Shen Juan celebrated his 21st birthday.

The support activities organized by fans around the world were like a grand festival, leaving countless people dumbfounded.

From Asia to Europe, from North America to South America.

Landmark buildings, commercial centers and bustling stations in cities across major countries have become his stages.

Outdoor LED large screen, indoor atrium LED large screen, shopping mall guide screen, elevator screen, public transportation large poster
The birthday support videos that fans paid for out of their own pockets and placed in these important promotional locations attracted countless people to stop and watch.

Louis Vuitton, Tiffany, Yves Saint Laurent, Estee Lauder, Porsche, Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Xiaomi.
Many internationally renowned brands sent birthday wishes to their global spokespersons on both the Internet and the Internet at the exact moment, with a huge fanfare.

Cai Xukun, Zhang Yixing, Wang Jiaer, Da Zhangwei, Xue Zhiqian, David Tao, Jay Chou, Taylor, A-mei.
Countless celebrities and internet celebrities, both known and unknown, left messages and blessings under Shen Juan’s birthday post on Weibo.

Some fans even compared the number of likes for the original poster, just like the annual fan club team-building activity "He Bang".

Among them, Cai Xukun, who is currently on tour in North America, was undoubtedly pushed to the top with the help of hundreds of thousands of his fans.

Among the female stars, Dilraba Dilmurat and Yang Zi, who have previously worked with Shen Juan, are at the top of the list.

Of course, the number of participants is definitely not as large as in any other rankings.

After all, Shen Juan is not as popular as He Jiong.

Although Shen Juan had no rivals, he did not take this group of people seriously, but there were many colleagues who regarded him as an enemy.

These people naturally would not participate in this collective action that transcends regional boundaries and become the supporting actors of this birthday party.

then
In accordance with the verbal agreement made to fans and the in-depth strategic cooperation with Douyin, Shen Juan will have to start a dual-platform live broadcast on Douyin and TikTok tonight to meet with fans who have been looking forward to this day for a long time, receive their blessings, and share joy with them.

At exactly nine o'clock in the evening China time, Shen Juan arrived on time as agreed, and the picture finally appeared in the black screen live broadcast room.

As soon as Liu Haocun, the little black guy who was keeping a close eye on Shen Juan, came in, he saw this guy carefully scanning the barrage of comments on the screen.

Isn't that why he looks so good?
Why does such a good-looking face belong to this person?

Liu Haocun was a little unhappy, thinking that God was blind, but he soon raised the corners of his mouth and smiled foolishly again.

No matter how handsome he is or how many fans he has, in my opinion, he is not as good-looking as the masked man I ran into on the subway last year!

Although their eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar, after all, all real handsome guys look alike! But their temperaments are completely different.

The masculine feeling and sexual tension that Shen Juan is proud of can only deceive those nymphomaniacs who are focused on enjoying the pleasure of love.

The gentleness of the male god, the pure youthfulness that you will never forget after just meeting him once, is the eternal god!
"The live broadcast room already has the picture, right? So everyone can see me now, right?" Shen Juan asked.

【Happy birthday, Brother Juan! 】

【Sigh, so tired, so tired, so tired! 】

【Brother Juan looks so handsome today! 】

【Happy 520 birthday, Brother Juan! 】

"Hello, hello, good evening everyone. I am Shen Juan, the one-day anchor today, May 5th. I am very happy to meet you all tonight." He kept waving at the camera of his mobile phone and greeted the fans and viewers in the live broadcast room, then took a Stitch pillow from his assistant and held it in his arms.

"Hehe, he has to show off secretly even when doing a live broadcast, he loves it so much!" Tian Xiwei couldn't help laughing immediately.

In fact, when Shen Juan was exposed for his relationship by his haters, someone found out that Tian Xiwei’s WeChat profile picture was Stitch.

So what is Shen Juan's intention in doing this?

I can only say that those who understand will understand. He is giving her a sense of security in his own way.

【Oranges aren’t the only fruit. Oranges are.】

【From the ignorant youth till the end of time! 】

[Today, did Song Song confess his love to Huang Chengzi? 】

Anyway, Tian Xiwei has already seen that many fans of Spring CP have started to repeat these words on the screen in the live broadcast room.

And Shen Juan probably also saw these comments, because Tian Xiwei saw him suddenly reach out and massage his chin.

That was his usual move when he was trying to hold back laughter.

"I just got back to the hotel after work today. I didn't even have time to take off my makeup before I hurried over to meet everyone. I was afraid I would be late."

Shen Juan sighed pretentiously, and then said meaningfully: "So sometimes I really hope that after work every day, I can go home or return to the hotel, lie on the bed leisurely and comfortably to watch TV series, variety shows or other people's live broadcasts. This kind of life really makes me happy just thinking about it!"

【Brother, you must take good rest. 】

【Health is the most important! 】

[Actually, it doesn’t matter if you’re a little late. Juanjuan, you’ve been so busy with work recently, we all understand.]

Seeing the fans who were unaware of the truth and were kept in the dark posting comments to comfort Shen Juan who suddenly started sighing, Cheng Xiao's smile became even brighter. Although she knew that celebrities secretly showing their affection was an immoral and unfriendly deception to dream girls, it felt really good!

She wished Juanjuan would come more often!
Then Shen Juan really came just as she wished.

"I don't know if you have ever thought about what your ideal life is like. I just saw a friend in the barrage say that her ideal life is ordinary things, a good life, a great home, an interesting job, and someone who can watch movies, play games and raise pets with her."

"That's really cute! I feel like only a really cute, super cute girl would say something like that."

"My ideal life? My ideal life is probably to watch movies, play games and raise pets with everyone."

Shen Juan directly made up a barrage of comments and asked and answered himself, which made Cheng Xiao on the other side of the screen happier and sweeter the more he thought about it.

In the end, she couldn't help but hugged the pillow and quilt and started the "death roll" of the Shenzhen female crocodile directly on the bed.

He enjoys the glory, and I enjoy him.

My Juanbao is the cutest in the world!

“I want to see the new stage.”

Before answering fans' questions, Shen Juan needs to read out the questions he sees in the barrage first, so that the audience knows what he is talking about.

"Don't worry about the new stage, it has been confirmed and will be available soon. The DVD of the previous performance at the Royal Albert Hall in London should also be released next month. If you are interested, you can buy a copy and watch it at home."

"Hahahaha I'm definitely not talking about the world tour. How could I fool you guys by saying that the concert is a new stage? I'm talking about something else. But it hasn't been officially announced yet, so it's not convenient to reveal it to you guys, but I can guarantee that it will be an awesome, grand stage!"

“When does the World Tour pre-sale start?”

"Don't worry about the ticket release, it's almost finalized. There are many things that need to be communicated and negotiated, and a lot of equipment needs to be shipped to China, and local policies also need to be taken into consideration, so we will start once we have confirmed all the tour locations."

"But I can tell you in advance that the locations in Beijing and Guangzhou have already been decided."

"Taylor said meeting me was one of her greatest achievements last year, and Ariana said I satisfied her (all her beautiful fantasies about men) and was her lifelong friend." Slightly sensitive content would definitely not be mentioned in a live broadcast mainly for domestic audiences, as it could easily trigger a negative rhythm.

"It is my honor to know them. They are all legendary singers who have created this era together."

"How did I successfully invite G.M. to join Starlink? It's simple, because we are both singers pursuing the same goal. I understand her, and she understands me. We have similar experiences. We both want to create better music, and we don't want to be controlled by companies that treat artists as money-printing machines. After she terminated her contract with Hummingbird, she has been working on her new personal album in the United States. I also heard that she wrote what I said into the lyrics."

"Behind-the-scenes footage of Detective Pikachu? Haha, I only had a few seconds of footage, so where did the behind-the-scenes footage come from? I remember that I was shooting the MV for Celestial in London and made a cameo appearance. I don't know how the movie is going because I've been working recently."

"I have a very good relationship with Mr. Lei. I sent him a WeChat message some time ago asking him why he was not named one of Time magazine's 15 most influential people of the year. He told me that he had been named one in , so he thought about it and decided to give the opportunity to those who had not been named one this year."

"The Met Gala team actually prepared a lot of quirky costumes for me that cater to the theme. Some of them were really eye-catching, but I rejected them all. I have no choice. After all, I am still too obsessed with being an idol. I don't want to leave a black history on the Internet and be made into emoticons by you guys."

After Shen Juan spent ten minutes answering fans' questions, he moved on to the next step according to the live broadcast outline provided by Douyin.

"And... since everyone is here tonight, I'll take this opportunity to announce a few things to you all."

"First of all, the movie 'Better Days' starring Zhou Qiuyu and I is now tentatively scheduled to be released nationwide in late June. We are currently discussing its overseas release. It is estimated that it will be released in East Asia and Southeast Asia ten days to half a month later than in China, and it may be even later in Europe and America."

"Another thing is that the TV series "Dear, Beloved" starring Yang Zi and I is currently scheduled to be broadcast in early July. As for which TV station will broadcast it, let's wait and see. After all, this is the job of the publicity department, and I won't take their work and affect their KPI."

[Ahhhhhh it’s finally up! I’ve been waiting since last year until now, and after all this waiting it’s finally up! ]

[This is the idol drama that we, the fans of the idols, have been working hard for for many years. Han Shangyan, come on! ]

[So what is the current pre-sale box office record for Chinese films? Why don’t we let Brother Juan break another record! ]

[You let a singer break the record in the film industry. Do you want to ruin Chinese films? How can they put their faces on this? ]

[The hope of domestic idol dramas to counterattack Korean dramas now all rests on Wajuan alone. Apart from anything else, Wajuan has such a great influence now that many people in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia are definitely looking forward to this drama. As long as the quality is good, it will definitely pave the way for domestic entertainment TV dramas to go overseas in the future. ]

【Why does he always have to pave the way? 】

[Is there a possibility that no matter where he goes, no matter how he goes, he can find a brand new path, and others are just following behind him and trying to mindlessly replicate his success and pick up leftovers? The phrase "Alex paved the way, Alex>Kpop+Jpop+Cpop" on the Internet is really not just talk. It is a compliment to Shen Juan and a chance to other Asian artists. They are not on the same level from the beginning to the end.]

At the same time, the official Weibo of "Dear, Beloved" also took the opportunity to release the news and trailer of the official release date of the TV series.

It's like throwing a stone into a calm lake, instantly causing ripples and triggering a series of chain reactions.

Because Shen Juan's appearance is so handsome that it reaches a new level in idol dramas, and the atmosphere when the male and female protagonists interact is really sweet.

Perhaps, as some fans have said, this drama has indeed become the key to whether domestic idol dramas can successfully go overseas and radiate to Southeast Asia in the future.

With "Better Days" in June, "Dear, Beloved" in July, and the subsequent world tour, there is no doubt that Shen Juan will maintain high-intensity exposure throughout the year and become an absolute star figure in the global entertainment industry!

Amid the lively and cheerful chat atmosphere, the birthday live broadcast that lasted for nearly forty minutes came to an end.

Shen Juan waved goodbye to his fans.

Although he was a little tired because he had to work overtime until the evening on his birthday, it was all over now anyway.

"Happy birthday, Xiaoye!"

After finishing work and returning to his room, Shen Juan hugged the two girls who ran to the entrance to greet him.

"Happy birthday, Xiaojuan!" Zhou Ye always looks like a smiling and energetic little angel in front of Shen Juan.

"What about me?" Tian Xiwei subconsciously competed for favor.

"It's not your birthday today."

"If I don't celebrate my birthday, I can't receive birthday wishes?"

"Okay, then. Happy birthday, Huang Chengzi!"

“Why use yellow oranges?”

"Because I saw this name in the comments during the live broadcast. Tangerines are not the only fruit. Oranges are."

"Did you see it too? Hahaha, that barrage was actually posted by me! Are you surprised?" Zhou Ye suddenly spoke.

"Ah?" Tian Xiwei was dumbfounded.

"Is it true?" Shen Juan was also a little surprised.

"Of course it's fake." Zhou Ye smiled dimple-like, "Why would I give an assist to this super-masculine girl?"

"Damn it, I knew there would be a twist! Shen Juan, you must make her cry tonight!" Tian Xiwei said gritting her teeth.

"What about you? You don't want it tonight?"

"It's her birthday today, so it's okay to let her stay the night."
