Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 354: Lock in the Best Player of the Year in Advance

In the following time, everyone drank wheat drinks and chatted about various topics with great interest.

For example, He Jiong mentioned that when he chatted with Shen Juan privately, he found that the kid had a talent for being a director and screenwriter, and often came up with many interesting and valuable ideas.

In fact, Shen Juan does plan to cooperate with Mango TV and Goose Peach Blossom Village, and invite them to co-produce with Starlink "Women's Reasoning Society" and "Fifty Kilometers Peach Blossom Village", which are multi-person group variety shows that are very suitable for promoting newcomers.

In his vision, the project matrix of Starlink's future investments and productions must cover the fields of film, television and variety shows in all aspects.

Because only in this way can we ensure that our artists will receive sufficient exposure and traffic to continue their development momentum.

He has a lot of fashion business resources. The only thing he lacks now is project production ability and artist management experience.

This requires the current management to spend time to explore slowly, or directly pay high salaries to poach people from other companies.

Just like Starlink is currently in contact with Min Hee-jin, who has been unemployed at home waiting for an opportunity after voluntarily resigning from SM.

This sister is the producer who launched NJS.

However, considering that their competitor was HYBE, which had gradually developed into a large company after the launch of BTS, Shen Juan called her personally. Not only did he give her the right to speak in the South Korean branch, he also promised to buy and build a grand building in Seoul within the year, and she would personally participate in the design.

The main focus is on decentralization.

After all, he is not as proficient as others in the idol field.

Let professionals do professional things!
Although it's a bit hasty, Min Hee-jin does have the ability. If we don't recruit her now, she will go to HYBE, and it will be even harder to recruit talent afterwards.

Moreover, opening a branch in South Korea is an important step for Starlink to establish influence in the Asia-Pacific region excluding China.

So just burn the money.

As long as it is burned with value and meaning, it's fine.

Anyway, he now has sufficient funds and ample capital for trial and error, which is enough for him to try more possibilities.

Then Lu Han was also very interested in Shen Juan's experiences on the other side of the ocean and his mental journey during his trip to the United States.

In his opinion, Shen Juan was really evil!
He has never seen such an awesome Chinese artist!

If someone else surpasses him in fan traffic, he will feel very unhappy, because there are few people in the domestic entertainment industry who have real talent and traffic, including himself, who is not very talented.

But if it was Shen Juan, he would be convinced wholeheartedly.

It has topped the Billboard 200 for eight consecutive weeks. The album, which was released in mid-April, was still dominating the chart until mid-June, and it has been pre-ordered as the world's best-selling album of the year.

With four Hot 2019 No. singles, two of which were empty titles, Shen Juan has been dominating the charts from the end of February to now thanks to the two hits "Blind Light" and "Old Town Road", defining as the year of Shen Juan in advance.

Then there are the various real-time streaming results that set historical records, as well as the shocking number of social media fans.
No one knows the limits of Shen Juan and his masterpiece "Leviathan" in the streaming media era.

The galaxy is his limit!

Outsiders may not have a clear idea of how awesome Shen Juan is. Only insiders like them know how difficult it is for Shen Juan to achieve these honors and achievements!
This is not a height that can be achieved by continuous marketing, and you can't get on the B list just by wanting to.

So if you lose to others, you might feel angry and furious.

But losing to Shen Juan doesn’t feel shameful at all.

After all, every era has its own superstars, and Shen Juan is undoubtedly the number one competitor of this era.

The 2020s will be a decade in which he achieves greatness.

Before I knew it, the night was already dark.

Seeing that it was getting late, Teacher He ended the pleasant conversation and urged everyone to go upstairs to rest.

Fate led Jiang Peiyao to the second-floor balcony known as "Shen Juan's Summoning Place" by netizens, and then she took out her mobile phone to check today's hot news on Weibo.

#Shen Juan unlocks the VOGUE Grand Slam#
#Shen Juan's cover of the July issue of British VOGUE#
#Shen Juan's London performance DVD is now on sale#
Shen Juan alone accounts for three of the top five entries.

And these are contents that are not very familiar to the domestic entertainment industry.

Putting aside the fact that DVDs are almost extinct in mainland China, the cover of this British version of VOGUE alone is scary enough, not to mention the four most prestigious VOGUE Grand Slams in the fashion field: Britain, France, the United States and Italy!

You have to know that the higher the level of a fashion magazine, the colder its attitude towards celebrities, especially young celebrities.

As the world's most well-known and influential fashion magazine, VOGUE naturally continues this attitude.

Normally, only supermodels can be seen on the cover. The number of non-supermodels who can appear on the cover every year is strictly controlled. The purpose is to increase profits while not losing the big picture for the small and affecting one's own status.

Therefore, being able to appear on the cover of VOGUE in mainland China, even if it is a group cover with many people, is actually a very remarkable achievement for celebrities who want to make a mark in the fashion circle, and it is worthy of fans' bragging.

As for going out to sea to Dengfeng?

And it’s on the cover of magazines from Britain, France, the United States and Italy?

This not only requires that the artist has high commercial value that can impress the fashion circle and make those luxury brands willing to pay a lot of money for him, but also that the fashion circle recognizes his fashion expression and local fashion influence.

Shen Juan, who holds a series of impressive identities such as "the new king of fashion" and "the pop king of Generation Z", happens to have considerable fame and influence in Britain, France, the United States and Italy, or in all countries and regions except Africa and Antarctica.

The luxury brand spent money to have him on the cover and it was definitely worth it!
His existence is a real human KPI for the public relations departments of all luxury brands that have hired him as their global spokesperson, and can help them obtain huge bonuses!

Even if the designer and the boss were replaced, they were unwilling to replace Shen Juan. At this time, if the senior management felt that Shen Juan was too expensive and wanted to find a cheaper spokesperson to harvest a new batch of fan traffic, they would probably come forward to dissuade them. They have already become fans of Shen Juan without even his knowledge.

Therefore, with the help of many fashion bloggers, marketing accounts and big fans, many young people and passers-by have a preliminary understanding of how awesome this unfamiliar achievement is.

To put it simply, Shen Juan broke the shackles of the circle with his amazing influence and commercial value, and made the usually aloof fashion circle bow its proud head in front of him.

So they all came out to cheer for Shen Juan, saying that "demolishing the pride" had successfully made a name for itself internationally and brought glory to the country.

This is what a celebrity in the entertainment industry should look like!
This is the glorious appearance of our China!

[My fashion expression is really amazing, and I am very adaptable! I am not exaggerating to say that I am the prince of LVMH. 】

[My brother is awesome! All the male stars who appeared on the cover of VOGUE before had to be paired with supermodels. So far, only Hu Ge and Shen Juan have been single-person covers, and Shen Juan is a single-person cover for Britain, France, the United States and Italy. Slayyyyyyyy!!!]

[The second person of color to achieve the four grand slams, the second star to achieve the four grand slams, and the first Asian to achieve the four grand slams. Times have indeed changed. The global fashion storm created by Shen Juan has spread to the fashion circle and set off a new round of changes. Alex is the revolution! ]

[Wajuan's cover record this year: Chinese version of COSMO January issue, French version of VOGUE March issue, American version of TIME April issue, Chinese version of Esquire May issue, Italian version of VOGUE May issue, American version of VOGUE June issue, British version of VOGUE July issue. I don't know how to describe it. Any cover from here is worth more than all the covers of other people in the whole year. What is an international superstar? ]

[I looked at the cover results of other American singers. Basically, they only unlocked the American version. The better ones unlocked an additional English version. The Italian and French versions were basically not involved. It seems that there are still few stars like me Juan who are pursuing the dual cultivation of music and fashion. I Juan and Mai Nudi are at another table. ]

[Please know that, taking the Chinese version of VOGUE as an example, so far only 12 female stars have appeared on the cover (including group covers), the youngest of which is Li Yuchun, born in 84. The one with the most covers is Zhou Xun, with 8 times (Shen Juan has appeared on the cover 6 times including overseas covers: China, Japan, Britain, France, the United States and Italy). As for male stars, there are even fewer, and you can count them on one hand. How can this not be called a crushing achievement? Not only music, but also fashion is a massacre. ]

[In my opinion, Shen Juan is pure and rare! He releases English songs, Japanese songs, Korean songs, and shoots foreign magazines. If this isn't rare, then what is? What's funny is that this kind of yellow-skinned, white-hearted banana person who worships foreign things has become the so-called pride of China, and has gained the support and love of so many young people. In my opinion, he is not even as good as Lu Han, Zhang Yixing, Hua Chenyu and others! At least he is patriotic, unlike Shen Juan who always goes abroad to lick the foreigners and seek the approval of white people. ]

God money! Just releasing a few foreign songs and appearing on a few foreign magazine covers can be elevated to such an exaggerated height!
This kind of person really has no shame at all!
Is it right to shut yourself in for your whole life, pretending to be dead like an ostrich and letting the other party attack you mindlessly?

Can out of sight, out of mind be used like this?

It's really outrageous that we finally have a singer who can go global and improve China's international image, but he is still criticized as rare!
On the one hand, they blame foreign media for not understanding the changes that have taken place in China in the new century and only mindlessly smearing and stirring up trouble. On the other hand, they put a rare hat on the singer who went abroad to refresh the ordinary foreign people's understanding of China. Jiang Peiyao doesn't know what to say about this self-contradictory, weird and brain-dead behavior.
And don’t those people want to go out?
They can't go out! They don't have the right to go out!
Just like the singers Jay Chou and Wang Lihong back then, didn’t they want to break into the Japanese music scene and make money like Fukuzawa Yukichi?
They just couldn't get in.

So those who want to get in but can't are patriotic, and those who succeed in getting in are rare! How can it be played like this?
With mixed emotions, Jiang Peiyao felt that as Shen Juan's girlfriend, it was necessary for her to stand up and speak for him.

Even if only a few people could see it, she had to say it, otherwise she would not be able to vent the anger in her heart.

They really don't understand Shen Juan, it's so disheartening!

After editing the text, press the send button.

【Every time I talk about this topic, there will always be people who say that they are worshipping foreign things. I am speechless to such people. If you say so, then football players and basketball players don’t need to go to the NBA or Europe. If they go there, they will be worshipping foreign things and they will be sheepdogs. Can you not be so sensitive? Don’t be so strong on the outside but weak on the inside? With the development of the times, there must be someone in the Chinese entertainment industry who wants to go out and connect with the international community and go to the world. Can’t we have less doubts and more encouragement?】

Only then did Jiang Peiyao feel better.

In the past, the mainstream trend in society was to mindlessly pursue international status, believing that the moon is rounder abroad than at home. Everyone rushed to establish connections with foreign countries. Those who were capable went to Hollywood to play supporting roles, while those who were not so capable went to Europe to win awards to gild themselves, as if this would show off their high-end status.

As a result, as the country's national strength increases, some people have gone to the other extreme and started to mindlessly resist overseas countries.

All we can say is that the black-and-white diode thinking will lead to a decline in the overall intelligence of society and hinder progress and development.

From the beginning to the end, she had no intention of standing out and becoming a public figure. She just didn't want to see so many people misunderstanding and attacking Shen Juan.

Regardless of his original purpose in going to the United States, his actions have brought visible positive benefits and a significant improvement in social status to China, overseas Chinese and even the entire Asian community.

Those who hold salaries for everyone must not freeze them to death in the wind and snow.

Although Jiang Peiyao knew that Shen Juan was not that fragile, these remarks could not have any substantial negative impact on him.

If these words could really destroy him, then this group of people would have done it when Shen Juan released "Underrated" last year. Why wait until "Leviathan" exploded in April this year before starting to make an effort?

But she still hopes it can be less, and less. She doesn't like the hardship-style education.

I don't like to let the people I love suffer.

He didn't care how many likes and replies this comment he posted using his main account received, or how much controversy it caused.

Jiang Peiyao slowly withdrew her wandering gaze from the mobile phone screen and focused her eyes again on the inky night sky. The slight chirping of cicadas could not affect the silent atmosphere. Only thoughts and emotions were running rampant in the darkness.

Before she knew it, Shen Juan had quietly come to her side, just as naturally as he had done in the previous episodes.

Jiang Peiyao turned her head to glance at him, and the familiar superior profile made her smile sweetly.

"when did you come?"

"While you are typing your reply to online comments." Shen Juan handed over another glass of milk in his hand. His action was natural and intimate enough to make girls happy.

"It hasn't been long since you came here!" Jiang Peiyao smiled, her eyes curved into crescents. She took the milk with both hands, held it gently, and felt the warmth coming from her palms.

"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Look, I just came over and saw you holding your phone and talking to someone online."

“That’s because some people are just too stupid!”

"It's okay to understand it in your heart, but there's no need to say it out loud. After all, if everyone in this world is smart, then wouldn't we be stupid?" Shen Juan smiled and shrugged. "Besides, this topic is very sensitive. Some people like to take this opportunity to fan the flames. I can handle it, but it doesn't mean you can too."

"It's okay, I don't care!" Jiang Peiyao, who believed that she was strong and invulnerable, waved her hand nonchalantly.

"That's because you have never been cyberbullied. You haven't experienced the awful feeling of being scolded by a group of people."

“Have you ever experienced this?”

“What day am I not experiencing?”

"Is that so?" Jiang Peiyao blinked and smiled, "Then let me experience the feeling of being cyberbullied! Although I may not be able to help you share the actual pressure with my current ability, I still want to experience your feelings more deeply and be closer to you."

Shen Juan stared at her in silence for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "Jiang Jiang, are you trying to impress me in this way?"

"No way?" Jiang Peiyao tilted her head.

"Of course." Shen Juan nodded slightly.

Jiang Peiyao was a little nervous, but she still had a gentle smile on her face and asked, "Are you moved?"

Shen Juan pretended to think, frowned for a moment, then smiled and made a hand gesture, "A little bit."

Jiang Peiyao was instantly overjoyed, but she didn't know what she was thinking of. She changed her expression at lightning speed and showed off her acting skills. She pretended to blame him and asked, "Only a little bit?"

Shen Juan nodded seriously, "Only a little bit."

"Wow, are you a science guy? How can you say such words that ruin the atmosphere? Can't you even make me happy for a moment?" Jiang Peiyao's tone was full of coquettishness.

But Shen Juan's expression seemed to become serious, "Then we have to go back to the topic we were discussing before.

"What topic? Cyberbullying?"

Shen Juan raised his eyebrows and did not answer directly, but said: "I am of course happy that you said you don't care about those people's online violence, but the question is, what if I care?"

Jiang Peiyao took a sip of milk and looked at him.

Shen Juan still looked calm, but his voice and tone were extremely gentle and soft: "In this world, there is no real empathy. You want to understand me and get close to me, but it does not mean that you have to experience the same feelings as I have and walk the same path again."

"So Jiang Jiang, if possible, just take care of yourself. I will take care of my own affairs, and we will face our own affairs together."

He is just like that, always saying nice things to make people happy or touched, in short, constantly stirring up other people's emotions, so that even though I know he is a fickle scumbag, I can't bear to leave him, and I can't bear to end this relationship.
Looking at Shen Juan's breathtakingly handsome face, this thought flashed through Jiang Peiyao's mind without warning.

Then she was stunned and couldn't help feeling funny.

Although Shen Juan did like to say things to make her happy, he also did keep the promises he made.

There are many fangirls in this world, but not all of them are fangirls; appearance is indeed an important indicator for people to fall in love with someone, but it is not the only criterion.

If Shen Juan was just a low-level scumbag who loved to say sweet words, then his charm would probably fade away quickly after they officially started dating.

But the problem is, Shen Juan is not.

Normally, he doesn't make big promises, but every big promise he makes is achieved through his own efforts.

Some people may never be able to get into the hearts of others in their entire lives, but some people can do it easily.

So this is also the important reason why Jiang Peiyao still likes Shen Juan and continues to associate with him even though she knows that she is not that special person to him.

After all, choosing a romantic partner is essentially a judgment question of whether the other person's strengths outweigh their weaknesses.

The same question, some people say yes, some people say no.

The answers given vary at different times.

But at least now, she is willing to keep going like this.

After Jiang Peiyao came to her senses, she realized that the corners of her mouth had been raised high without her noticing. So she drank a sip of the still warm milk in the pleasant night, and said with a smile of some emotion and some relief: "Someone once said that I am very selfish and indifferent."

Shen Juan looked at her, waiting for her next words.

"I was told that I could have put myself in other people's shoes and understood their feelings, but I just didn't want to do so, which resulted in me hurting some people unknowingly, including my friends. So I became silent and introverted."

"Before I do something or say something, I always habitually simulate in my mind the possible scenarios and changes that may occur in the future after I do this thing or say this sentence." The sense of security that Jiang Peiyao felt with Shen Juan made her dare to speak her mind.

"This has really helped me reduce a lot of social annoyances and even improved my acting skills to some extent. After all, you should know that people who are introverted are often better at performing delicate emotions in front of the camera, while people who are too happy are often not good at acting."

"But at the same time, this habit also makes me sentimental, hesitant, and overly thoughtful. It makes me miss a lot of opportunities and makes me unable to effectively express my true feelings. I go from one extreme to another. This is why I hate diode thinking so much, because I am also such a person. Maybe I hate, detest, and resist myself from the bottom of my heart."

Upon hearing this, Shen Juan gently put down the almost finished milk in his hand, then slowly walked behind Jiang Peiyao, leaned over slightly, gently wrapped his arms around her waist and held her in his arms, breathing in the pleasant plant scent on her body.

After a moment of silence, he said with some heartache: "It's certainly right to consider other people's feelings. This shows that you are a very gentle person, but I think you can be more self-centered. This is not a bad thing, and there is no need to hate yourself. Everyone has to go through the process of reconciliation with themselves."

"Have you experienced this too?" Jiang Peiyao asked.

"I experience it all the time." Shen Juan smiled.

After another half-minute of silence, Jiang Peiyao said with some emotion: "When I first met you, I just thought about being able to walk with you and Yang Zi on the street after work every night. I was very happy just looking at you and listening to your voice. I didn't expect that we would be able to talk about these things one day."

Shen Juan smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Jiang Jiang, who is so gentle and considerate, was previously described as selfish and cold by others."

"What? You don't like it?"

"I like it, why don't you like it?"

"So which one do you think is better, being considerate or being selfish and indifferent?" Jiang Peiyao's seemingly casual question was actually asking Shen Juan to choose between her past self and her present self.

"If I have to choose, of course it would be considerate. But if you are too considerate, you will be very tired. So I hope you can integrate your past self with your present self and slightly neutralize the characteristics of both." Shen Juan gave a very serious and well-thought-out answer.

"After all, what I need is not the best you for me, but the best you for us. The false bubble will be punctured one day. If you mindlessly give in to me in everything, over time, as you experience more things, the accumulated negative energy will overflow and explode."

Jiang Peiyao felt mixed emotions after hearing this, but the biggest feeling was of course the happiness and sweetness of pink bubbles flying in the air. She bit her lip and whispered, "My mind tells me that you are an incorrigible scumbag! But my sensibility tells me that I don't want to leave you."

Shen Juan gently turned the girl in his arms around and held her shoulders with both hands. "In that case, why not just follow your inner thoughts."

Jiang Peiyao raised her head, stared straight into Shen Juan's eyes, and asked, "How many girls have you kissed here?"

“A lot, but we will move to a new place for recording next year, so.” Shen Juan paused for a moment and smiled silently.

"You'll be the last."

Under the moonlight, the two people who were already closely attached to each other slowly moved closer, their lips gently touching each other in a kiss.

Jiang Peiyao also gradually became addicted to it.

Becoming more and more devoted, becoming more and more selfless.

Both physically and mentally, I am sinking deeper and deeper.

In such a confusing and heart-pounding atmosphere, it doesn’t matter whether this journey has any results.

The girl, who already has someone in her heart and has realized her love, just wants to add a beautiful memory that she will never forget.

That's it.
