Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 357: A sensation in the domestic entertainment industry, a movie-watching craze

Ten concerts in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou mobilized 79 people, sold nearly 8 tickets per show, and generated box office revenue of over 7 million yuan.

What concept does this belong to?
It is a concept that will shake the domestic entertainment and Chinese music scene!
After Wu Jiaheng heard the news from his cousin, he was so shocked that he lost the desire to choose a concubine. Ward sent out! Is this true? Ten games with 800,000? Are we still living in the same world? Brother, are you still a traffic star?
Indeed not.

Strictly speaking, Shen Juan is just an ordinary singer with high traffic, popularity and commercial value, and his super topic dehydrated sign-ins easily maintain over one million.

Like can you say Taylor Bago is traffic?
No.

But they also have excellent traffic data and search index, and the only thing they lack in terms of traffic is water injection.

Zhang Yixing also contacted Shen Juan as soon as possible and shamelessly asked if he could take him to the United States for a trip.

Shen Juan said that every stop of the North American tour has been carefully planned and arranged, but he can be included in the domestic tours at the end of the year.

Xue Zhiqian, who proudly announced on Weibo some time ago that he was the opening guest of the first concert of Leviathan World Tour, was so excited after hearing the news that he typed a piece of garbled code on Weibo: [dnjwhabajiwakam]

Deng Ziqi, another opening guest of the Shanghai tour, also praised it on Weibo: [It’s really amazing! @沈喘]

Thanks to Shen Juan's precise assistance, Hu Tao, who has regained some traffic, will naturally not miss any opportunity to express his gratitude to Shen Juan: [A natural legend of the times! ]

Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun said in a blog post: [Everyone knows that I have always been a loyal fan of Shen Juan. We have had several very pleasant conversations. I am also a fan of him. So this year, we were able to successfully invite Shen Juan to be the global spokesperson for our Xiaomi mobile phone. This is a dream come true. I hope that Shen Juan and Xiaomi can go together in the future and get better and better! ]

What does it mean that 9 million tickets have been sold in advance for the 26-show tour in 105 cities in North America which will only start in August and September?
It is the concept of booking this year’s tour crown in advance!
It is a concept that has revolutionized the world, just like Leviathan!

Taylor Swift, who is currently promoting her new second single, said that she can't wait to see Alex and his proud Leviathan Era tour in the United States!
Ariana Grande said she wanted to fly to China right away to meet Alex who was on tour!

Justin Bieber said that for the sake of friendship, he would attend Alex's tour concert in Toronto, Canada.

Ed Sheeran, who was also on tour, contacted his good friend Taylor, hoping that she would introduce him to Alex, who was at the height of his fame. He also expressed his willingness to be the opening guest of the Leviathan World Tour in the UK, just to make a good relationship. Shen Juan certainly would not refuse Boss Huang's kindness.

The Rolling Stones official website published a post saying: [Alex will ride the deep-sea monster Leviathan from China across the Pacific Ocean all the way to North America, bringing a pop storm to the American people. ]

Billboard followed closely: [Alex has been dominating the B-list Hot 100 for half a year and his momentum is still not declining. He is writing a new history! ]

Coupled with the visa-free policy for some countries that was relaxed in advance, as well as a series of activities to stimulate tourism revenue growth and boost local economic development, it is equivalent to directly releasing Shen Juan's box office appeal in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as the fan enthusiasm and consumption desire accumulated in the past two years to the extreme!
So Pug is in a very complicated mood now.

On the one hand, he was a little jealous of Shen Juan's incredible achievements just two years after his debut. On the other hand, he was secretly glad that he had increased the frequency of marketing after the release of Jay Chou's Bedtime Stories and successfully gained a group of new fans born in the 00s. Fortunately, he did not agree to be the opening act for Shen Juan's tour.

Otherwise, he would have been driven off the throne of Chinese pop music by Shen Juan and his fans!

After all, the commercial performance and streaming data of his album "Visha" are not inferior to those of his old songs.

Coupled with even stronger marketing than his, there might actually be a possibility for him to seize power ahead of time and change the dynasty!
Of course, Pug's concerns are not unfounded.

You should know that in the original time and space, there were only three singers whose world tour box office exceeded 2019 million US dollars in 36. The most awesome Chinese singer was JJ Lin, who sold 99 tickets for 1.07 shows and had a box office of 6.8 million US dollars. Even Taylor's record-breaking Time Tour had an average attendance of only people.

Before that, the record for the highest box office global tour was held by the Irish band U2's "360 Degree Tour".

From 2009 to 2011, the three-year tour brought in a staggering $7.36 million in cumulative box office revenue.

Although the average number of people attending Shen Juan’s subsequent tours in the past six months is definitely not as exaggerated as the first ten domestic shows: his first personal world tour plus the BUFF that brings together the power of the entire Asia-Pacific fan group cannot be replicated, but as long as there are no major accidents, the average number of people attending the shows will not be too low.

After all, Leviathan’s popularity is phenomenal.

An album has 14 songs, and most of them are either hit singles with the potential to become number one, or hot singles that can stay on the charts for a long time.

Even the singles with the worst statistics, such as "Hold On", have the ability to serve as the main songs of other singers.

If Shen Juan was white, the Western media would have probably hyped up Leviathan as the number one album of the 21st century and him as the undisputed top pop star of the new era!

Of course that is true.

From a business perspective, Leviathan is.

Among the top 2025 songs of the 21st century announced by Billboard in 13, "Blinding Lights" ranked first, "Levitating" ranked ninth, "Circles" ranked 23th, "Mood" ranked 35rd and "Sunflower" ranked th were all included.

In addition, Shen Juan also has the hit singles Old Town Road (Remix version) and Late Summer, which also entered the top 21 singles of the st century.

Although this list has not been released yet, and we are still unclear about the historical value of Leviathan, no matter from what level or angle we analyze and judge, he can definitely be called the singer with the highest output of hit singles in the 21st century so far, no doubt about it!

So perhaps in the eyes of others, the initial success of the Leviathan Era tour was somewhat unexpected and accidental.

Because the tour is usually for veteran singers who have debuted for many years, and it is a stage for them to showcase their considerable popularity and fame.

Newly emerging singers are generally streaming singers, and they are mediocre in touring and have almost no dominance.

But for Shen Juan, this is actually inevitable.

Leviathan's commercial value and popularity are unprecedentedly high! It absolutely deserves all the honors and praises!

Coupled with the fact that his fans have a much stronger cohesion than other European and American singers, as well as the powerful marketing that quickly spread across the globe in the Internet era and the fanatical star-chasing culture of the fan circle, it is really hard for Shen Juan's The Leviathan Era Tour, which has been anticipated for a long time by countless fans and passers-by, not to be a hit.

Today's work was still completed very smoothly.

After work, Shen Juan and his team returned to the hotel and, as agreed, hosted a welcome party for Wang Churan who arrived in Xiamen in the afternoon.

Except for Bao Lujia and Li Wanda, underage high school students who asked for leave from the crew to return to school to take exams due to the approaching end of the semester, all other young artists from Starlink came at Shen Juan’s call, and all shouted their loyalty!
Zhou Ye has already regarded Wang Churan as a teammate, and wants to take this opportunity to win them over and build the Beijing-Shanghai Great Wall to fight against foreign enemies.

Tian Xiwei wants to further strengthen the deterrence against the thieving cats and maintain her image as the invincible killing god "Lü Bu among men".

Hu Lianxin doesn't want Zhou Ye's family to dominate the market, so she wants to secretly split up the Anti-Tian Alliance and use its manpower for her own purposes.

Shen Yujie is an amateur underage girl who doesn't understand the situation, has no ambitions, and simply wants to be with Shen Juan.

And Wang Churan, who also has ulterior motives but pretends to be nice and hugs Zhou Ye to create an image of a close friendship with her besties.

After the five girls gathered in Shen Juan's room, they quickly squeezed onto the same sofa in the order of "Jie Tian Juan Ye Wang" from left to right, with Shen Juan as the center.

While chatting about various topics, they ate the snacks stored in Shen Juan's room.

Of course, the main food is fruit.

After all, they are all young actresses who want to enter the core circle of Shen Juan's fish pond, so they naturally pay special attention to body management. Any piece of cake, a bag of potato chips, or a bottle of Coke may make them gain some weight, so that they cannot show the most perfect appearance in front of Shen Juan and are ignored.

This is an outcome they cannot accept.

However, Xiao Hu felt that it would be a bit crowded if six people sat on the sofa, and she couldn't get a seat next to Shen Juan, so she simply turned her back to Shen Juan and sat cross-legged on the carpet in front of him. She only needed to turn around and she would be in the greedy cat posture she usually was when eating Shen Juan's Want Want Crushed Ice Cream.

"A person who was just an acquaintance of yours before suddenly asks you to help record a video. What do you think he is thinking?" Shen Juan put down his phone and asked suddenly.

"An acquaintance?"

"Who's looking for you?"

"Male and female?"

"What video?"

"Today's matter?"

The girls responded in a flurry, either curiously or eagerly, obviously concerned about everything about Shen Juan.

"What if it was a woman?"

"Then tell her to get as far away from you as possible!" Tian Xiwei looked at Shen Juan with disgust and shouted mercilessly.

Zhou Ye nodded slightly and smiled quietly.

That's how it should be! All those thieving cats should die!
Wang Chuan: Meow meow meow?

Although they temporarily parted ways due to differences in ideas, it has to be admitted that she often had the same views and opinions as Tian Xiwei. The only difference was the way of expression: one was more business-oriented and the other was more sports-oriented.

When Wang Churan and Shen Yujie heard this, they both felt that Sister Tian had hidden meaning and was taking the opportunity to criticize them indirectly.

However, Wang Churan was secretly happy in her heart, because she had been stamped by Shen Juan, and knew that Shen Juan was a high-quality scumbag who would not kick you aside as long as you didn't cause trouble. So she was not angry about Tian Xiwei's suggestive words, but instead felt a kind of pleasure of watching the fun.

I am already Shen Juan's little wife~

Shen Yujie was full of worry and fear. She was just a minor and couldn't do many things. She always felt that Tian Xiwei's words were directed at her. She was very nervous and uneasy, and she became more and more determined to find a backer.

Senior Zhou Ye, can you trust me?
Only Hu Lianxin was calm, as if everything had nothing to do with her. To be honest, she was not afraid of the notorious Sister Tian at all. She also did not think that Sister Tian was as scary as the fans said, who would slap people and pull their hair at any time.

On the one hand, it was because senior Shen Juan once said, "Xiaotian is very cute," and she unconditionally believed every word Shen Juan said to her.

On the other hand, she is a sharp-minded and observant woman who has captured with her own eyes the moments when Oda was kind to others.

How could a girl who greets and says thank you to every staff member with a smile be a gangster?

The world has such a deep misunderstanding of her!

So in her heart, there was only one thing that could make her feel afraid, and that was Shen Juan abandoning her.

There was stubbornness and determination in Xiao Hu's eyes as she looked at Shen Juan. It was an extreme and desperate dependence, as if her whole world revolved around Shen Juan.

Shen Juan didn't expect that in just such a short time, the girls could come up with so many ideas. He just couldn't help laughing and asked, "What if it's a boy?"

"Then he might think you're easy to talk to, or he might simply want to owe you a favor, so as to bring you closer together and lay a good foundation for subsequent contact." Zhou Ye turned into a military advisor and analyzed seriously: "But considering that they said you're not easy to approach, I think the latter reason is the only possible reason."

"I see. It means that Juangou's charm has spread to the same-sex community!" Tian Xiwei glanced at Shen Juan and said deliberately, "I saw many contacts online saying that they like Juangou very much. They said that he is bad, manly, and youthful, and has a kind of Zha Su temperament."

"They are getting married soon, and they contacted me to ask me to help record a singing video." Shen Juan explained speechlessly and helplessly, "You know Zhang Ruoyun, his girlfriend Tang Yixin likes "10000 Hours", and they are going to have a wedding at the end of the month. Zhang Ruoyun wants to sing this song at the wedding, so he asked Teacher He to contact me."

"So this is ah."

"I like this song too! And the song 'Lucky Me' sung by senior Zhang Yingzhuan is also very sweet!" Wang Churan has watched the MV of "Lucky Me" more than once, and every time he puts himself in the shoes of Cheng Xiao, imagining himself and Shen Juan being affectionate on the beach at sunset, and being proposed to by him.

"It's very sweet! But I prefer "Golden Hour", I especially like the beautiful and gorgeous feeling of this picture!" Xiao Shen is still a sweet and soft underage little cake. If a young girl of this age meets someone who is too amazing, she may be affected by him for the rest of her life.

"Am I the only one who likes "Seven", "50 Feet" and "All Night"? " Xiao Hu said that she likes pornographic songs more. Every time she puts on headphones and listens to songs while doing handicrafts, she can feel Shen Juan leaning over her ear and whispering those sad words to her.

Tian Xiwei looked around, took in everyone's reactions and re-determined the threat rating, then asked Shen Juan, "What do you think? Do you agree or not?"

"Do you think I should agree?" Shen Juan asked back.

"That depends on what you think of him."

"He's OK." Shen Juan thought for a moment. Anyway, he couldn't find any big black spots in this "male channel's chosen male protagonist". Influenced by his past life memories, he still had some good feelings towards Zhang Ruoyun. He didn't over-market, didn't make trouble, his acting skills were OK, and his sense of variety was also good.
He is definitely a high-quality artist in the domestic entertainment industry.

"In that case, I think you can just agree to it. Even if you don't make friends in the end, at least it will improve your reputation in the circle." Tian Xiwei thinks Shen Juan should make more friends of the same sex, because this will reduce his chances of meeting the opposite sex in the circle.

She was not afraid that Shen Juan would make friends with a bunch of bad people. What she was really afraid of was that Shen Juan's circle of friends were all of the opposite sex.

"I think so too. It's not a bad thing to make more friends!" Zhou also agreed. She didn't want Shen Juan to know too many thieving cats, otherwise it would be difficult to catch them all.

"Okay." After hearing what they said, Shen Juan also felt that it was time to expand his circle of friends.

After Shen Juan replied to He Jiong's WeChat message, Wang Churan, who was eating cherries, suddenly remembered something very important and hurriedly said loudly: "Is it eight o'clock now?"

"It's just after eight o'clock, what's wrong?" Shen Juan raised his eyebrows, obviously having completely forgotten Zhou Geng's yearning.

"What a longing for life! That was the first time that Yezi, I and you, senior, appeared in the same frame!" Wang Churan said happily.

"What are we waiting for? Turn on the TV!" Hu Lianxin and Shen Yujie immediately became interested and prepared to watch carefully.

Tian Xiwei didn't say anything because she had already learned the information in advance from her spy planted in the Mushroom House.

She was also very curious about how Shen Juan treated Zhou Ye and Wang Churan.

After all, what a third party sees is ultimately one-sided, and there will definitely be differences between it and what is captured by the camera.

Shen Juan had no reason to refuse.

They were forced to sit in the middle of the sofa to be publicly executed, or to blatantly display their pursuit of beauties.

After a few rounds of ads, images began to appear.

The opening episode is a chat among the three little ones in the Mushroom House about the body comparison between Peng Peng and Shen Juan who are working out.

“Is that an eight-pack?”

As a result, as soon as the innocent and naive little Shen finished speaking, she unexpectedly received the playful gazes of the other sisters.

Because they have not only touched it, but also licked it, so naturally they will not be amazed by the quick glimpse on the screen.

I can only say that Xiao Shen is still too young and too innocent.
Then came the part where the guest stars appeared.

The girls' eyes kept wandering between the TV screen and Shen Juan, Zhou Ye and Wang Churan who were sitting on the sofa.

After all, in this episode, Shen Juan's reaction to different guests, Zhou Ye's reaction to different guests, and Wang Churan's reaction to different guests
Something is really wrong!

Anyway, Shen Juan was still polite and indifferent when facing He Landou, but when he met Zhou Ye, he immediately switched to a warm attitude and announced to the outside world that this was my girlfriend. Later, when he received Wang Churan, he showed a sense of scumbag Su that made the girls know that he was poisonous but still happy.
It's really too easy to see the clues!

But this is exactly the effect Shen Juan wants to create, and it is exactly what he wants his fans and audiences to see.

He just wanted to take this opportunity to expose Xiao Ye’s identity as the “amateur sister-in-law”, which had been hotly discussed in the fan circle!
Although this may bring her a lot of troubles, it can also provide her with the much-needed traffic and popularity as a newcomer.

And the sense of security she needs most.

Gradually, everyone except Shen Juan, who knew the general outline of the program in advance (and had the right to review the film), was immersed in the high-quality program content and pictures.

When they went out to plant trees wearing the raincoats given by Victoria Song, Shen Juan and Zhou Ye displayed a hazy and ambiguous atmosphere of a couple; when they went up the mountain to pick radishes and carried the bamboo basket down the mountain, Shen Juan followed behind Zhou Ye and Wang Churan, and his caring words and gentle eyes made countless girls waiting in front of the screen explode with their hearts.

And a series of funny things happened when he returned to the Mushroom House to help Huang Lei cook in the kitchen, and when he returned to the house after dinner to chat at night, Shen Juan and Zhou Ye shared their acquaintance process and bits and pieces under the influence of alcohol (the audience saw a blush on Zhou Ye's cheeks, suspected that he was drunk).
"Senior, you and Sister Ye are so sweet!" Xiao Shen felt happy and sweet from the bottom of his heart for the two people who had known each other for many years.

As a result, Tian Xiwei didn't say anything, but just moved a little, which scared Xiao Shen beside her so much that he dared not make a sound.

Hu Lianxin pursed her lips and smiled. Zhou Ye's infatuated eyes and that slightly drunk posture definitely showed that he was feeling desire!

You ask me how I know?
Of course it’s because I’ve had similar experiences.

This is the same reason why men always want to pee when they take a shower. With the stimulation of her YY over time, she now becomes poetic whenever she meets Shen Juan. This has become a conditioned reflex that is difficult to talk about, but she is not ashamed of it. Instead, she is proud of it because Juan said he likes squirting! "Why do I feel like a lot of content has been cut?" Wang Churan whispered in a complicated mood. She felt sorry that the highlights of her and Shen Juan were not released, but she was also glad that the program team cut those clips and did not destroy the unstable relationship between her and Zhou Ye.

Not to mention the finals, they have just formed a team and haven't even made it to the playoffs. Naturally, they won't be arguing over who will get the FMVP for the championship team.

Zhou Ye lowered his head and scrolled through the comments on his phone for a while, then handed it over silently with a very bright smile on his face.

Shen Juan took it and glanced at it.

[Jiu Min! The new sister-in-law really looks like an innocent little white rabbit! She looks full of energy and vitality, with a cold face and a sweet smile! No wonder I like her, maybe it's because I've seen too much darkness and have too much pressure. I feel that the bigger the star, the more he likes innocent girls. ]

[Oh my god! These two are so compatible, so natural that I started to like them the first time I saw them in the same frame! ]

[This is so sweet that I am twisted into a knot! This is the girlfriend of destiny! It turns out that she is the one we should be jealous of. ]

[Her moans are the sweetest I have ever heard, and every sound is filled with true feelings and tenderness.]

[Sister Tian, why did you lie to us? You are just a MT who can block attacks and resist injuries, why do you insist on saying that you are Shen Juan's true love? ]

[If the love between Shen Juan and Tian Jie is the redemption literature of a big star meeting a little girl, then the love between Shen Juan and Ye Jie is the orthodox love between childhood sweethearts in college! ]

[Wa Juan dotes on Xiao Ye too much. I have never seen him dote on any other female artist like this. But it may be because the feeling given by Tian Jie and the impression she left on people before were too, how to say it? Too independent and violent, so the CP feeling given by people is not as strong as this pair. ]

[In fact, Sister Tian is also very coquettish in front of Shen Juan, so coquettish that I once suspected that her Weibo account was not used by her. Those words that make others break their defenses did not come from her mouth. But it’s still not as sweet as this couple hahaha! I really like these two! A cold and black-bellied superstar x a lively and innocent little white rabbit, and they were born on the same day of the same month of the same year. I am so inspired now! I feel like I can write a 10,000-word fan fiction in one night! ]

[Is this true? Or were they born on the same day of the same month of the same year? The new sister-in-law was also born on May 1998520, ? This is really a bit mysterious]

After reading these fans’ comments, Shen Juan wanted to laugh a little, but he held it back for the sake of considering other people’s feelings.

But Zhou Ye curled up his body, shaking from trying to hold back his laughter.

She just thinks that this group of netizens is really talented! She likes netizens who are so talented and perceptive!

At the same time, Tian Xiwei, who was sitting on the other side of Shen Juan, was actually browsing netizens' real-time comments on her mobile phone.

So she probably saw what Shen Juan and Zhou Ye saw, or even more than them.

But what can she do about it?

You can't arrest all these Sima BYDs who not only force her to bow down but also try to put her down, and put them into a concentration camp, right?

Alas, it’s not spring when I come!

I took all the hardest wave of damage in the early stage by myself, but when it was time to divide the cake, everyone shared it together.

Can't you torture Aribati indiscriminately?
These Sima netizens are really fucking worthy of death!!

After watching the show, they chatted about other topics for a while.

For example, Da Shen asked Xiao Shen if she had any other plans for the summer after the filming of this movie was completed. Xiao Shen said that she planned to use this rare long vacation to travel around the motherland, and she had already made an appointment with Shan Yichun and Bao Lujia who had the same plan, so she would have company then.

In this way, time passed quietly minute by minute. Shen Juan looked at the time and found that it was already past eleven o'clock.

Considering that I have to get up early to shoot tomorrow and can't go to bed too late to affect my work state, I got up and prepared to see the guest off.

He first sent away the ignorant, green and naive amateur girl Gao Shenyujie, and then faced Hu Lianxin and Wang Churan, who were reluctant to leave and looked unwilling to leave. After patiently comforting them with a few words, he sent them back to their respective rooms one by one and gave them a long goodnight kiss as agreed.

Finally, he returned to his room, opened his arms and hugged the wild rose that had already been washed and smelled fragrant.

"Who comes first?"

After a period of silent silence, Tian Xiwei spoke first to break the silence.

"Give it to her first."

"Are you so kind?" Zhou Ye frowned subconsciously, looking at Tian Xiwei with eyes full of vigilance. In her opinion, Tian Xiwei has always been competitive and would not give an inch, but now she is taking the initiative to give in, which is uncharacteristically her style, and smiling so lewdly, she must have bad intentions, and she feels like there is something fishy going on!
"why?"

Shen Juan was also a little curious, and then he saw Tian Xiwei proudly raised the corners of her mouth and revealed a sly smile.

"Because World War II lasted longer than World War I."

“But World War I was more intense than World War II!”

"Having said that, it's not good to be too intense. I think the intensity and duration of World War II are very suitable for me."

As soon as these words came out, the room instantly became quiet.

Shen Juan was speechless.

There was no conversation all night, only the sound of humming and clacking, and time finally came to the eve of the release of "Better Days".

6 month 22 number.

"Better Days" has officially opened for pre-sale. Stimulated by the attraction of "Chai Na Jiao's first overseas film", the public's enthusiasm for watching the movie has reached an unprecedented high, and they have rushed out to buy tickets.

The enthusiasm and indignation of many people seem to indicate that they have regarded this movie and Shen Juan himself as an important part of China's strategy of exporting culture abroad after its rise.

And his attitude is very firm.

They said that if this movie failed to achieve excellent box office results in China, it would significantly delay China's external cultural expansion plans, and they directly regarded Spider-Man, which was released at the same time, as a competitor that must be boycotted. They also led the trend online to say that people who watch Marvel movies are not Chai Reese!
Then they brought back all the unfair treatment that Shen Juan had suffered on the other side of the ocean and all the insults regarding race and nationality, processed them into ready-made content for domestic netizens to browse and review, and forcibly aroused the people's burgeoning patriotic sentiments.

Shen Juan was stunned by the look.

Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?

And
The protagonist boy + the pride of the demolition + Marvel movies
Such a strong sense of déjà vu
Where the hell did this horse come from?
Is this still 2019?

However, we have to admit that 19 was the year when mainstream movies and domestic box office volume reached their peak.

Any movie that touches on the main theme will achieve very good results, so it is understandable that the film distributors use Shen Juan, the "main theme itself", for marketing and promotion, and most people really buy into it!
From midnight on the 22nd to midnight on the 25th.

《少年的你》的预售票房仅用三天时间便成功打破了《捉妖记2》于去年春节档创造的2.94亿记录，不仅成为了预售最快突破1亿、2亿和3亿的华语电影，还成为了华国地区预售票房第二高的电影，仅次于今年上映的《复仇者联盟4》（7.74亿）。

Even fans who were optimistic and confident about Shen Juan's fan appeal and box office ability probably did not expect that a youth film with such a limited audience and such a niche subject matter could achieve such exaggerated pre-sale results.

I can only shout: I am great, no need to say more!

The investors were so happy that their mouths were crooked. They quickly called Shen Juan to express their gratitude and told him that if there were any opportunities for cooperation in the future, Shen Juan should not forget them.

Who says it’s bad to rely on traffic in the film industry?
Licking traffic is awesome!
If they can easily earn a lot of Mane by licking Shen Juan, then they are willing to be Shen Juan's lickers for life!
After all, 3.1 million is really fucking scary!
Apart from Wu Jing, who benefited from the patriotic theme, they have never seen such an actor who can carry the box office!
No wonder any album can sell for hundreds of millions, no wonder any DVD can sell for more than 2000 million Chinese yuan, no wonder more than brands still want him to be the global spokesperson even though the endorsement fee is as high as million.
Shen Juan is really capable!

Shanghai regards him as its business card, and there is really no problem in putting his human-shaped standees and placards all over the city!

He is undoubtedly the chosen one of this city!
He is the undisputed external face of this country!

The premiere in Beijing was held on June 6, the day before the movie "Better Days" was officially released.

At 12 o'clock that evening, which is midnight on the 27th, this movie, which has received a lot of attention even before it was released and is highly anticipated by the public, will be released simultaneously in major theaters across the country.

But before that, there is another way to watch the movie in advance and give your review, and that is the premiere.

Luo Mengya and Bi Xiaoxue were very lucky to win tickets to the premiere in a lottery held at a university in Beijing.

"There are so many people here. I wonder how many celebrities are here tonight." Bi Xiaoxue couldn't help but sigh.

The screening room was packed with people, including reporters holding cameras, fans holding various items of support, and some who looked like celebrities wearing masks and hats and whose faces could not be seen clearly.

"There should be a lot. After all, this is Shen Juan's movie. Many celebrities will probably rush to come and support him." Luo Mengya still pays attention to the entertainment industry, so she is naturally very clear about how exaggerated Shen Juan's status and traffic are at this stage.

"Hey! Do you think Zhao Liying can come?" Bi Xiaoxue fell in love with Zhao Liying after watching "The Story of Minglan" at the beginning of the year.

"That's difficult, after all, Zhao Liying and Shen Juan don't seem to have any contact with each other on the surface, so they probably don't know each other well."

"What about Yang Mi?"

"It's hard to say about Yang Mi. I feel like she and Shen Juan are in a one-sided love relationship."

"It's too much to love someone but not be able to get him, haha! After all, she is a big star, why do you call her just a bootlicker?"

"What? Big stars are not human beings? Big stars can always get what they want? Big stars can't have unrequited love?"

"But I don't think Yang Mi would do that. After all, she has been in the industry for so many years. She has seen all kinds of handsome guys. Why would she hang herself on a tree?"

"That's hard to say. After all, for a woman like her whose material needs have long been met, satisfying spiritual needs is the top priority. So the harder it is to get a man, the more tempting and delicious he is. What they really want is to prove that their charm has not declined, so they need a challenge."

"I don't understand." Bi Xiaoxue shook her head blankly.

"That's right, because we don't even have our material needs met, so we naturally can't understand their feelings."

When the time came, the movie started on time.

The lights gradually dimmed, and as the iconic dragon logo crossed the big screen, the sound of chalk writing on the blackboard was heard.

Then, the screen changed.

The scene of Chen Nian teaching children in a training institution comes into view, thus opening the curtain of the movie.

“Does anyone know the difference between was and used to be?”

The heroine Zhou Qiuyu first appeared in front of everyone wearing light makeup to pretend her natural look, and her face was not at all beautiful.

"You can tell at first glance that Huang Ya is a talented actor from this face!" Bi Xiaoxue couldn't help but cover her mouth and sighed softly.

"But she has good acting skills and she even won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress a few years ago." Luo Mengya even felt that Zhou Qiuyu was not as pretty as herself, but it was wrong to say such things. After all, she does not rely on her looks to make a living. Attacking her looks is like mocking James for not speaking Chinese as well as she does.

It's nonsensical and inexplicable.

So in her opinion, if you want to attack someone, you should attack her personality and emotional intelligence, and there is no need to attack her appearance.

“Does one have to be ugly to win an award?”

"Well, there's no such saying, but it's easy for people to overlook an actor's acting skills if he looks good."

"Is that why Leo pretends to be ugly?"

"To put it nicely, it's about dressing up ugly to win awards. To put it bluntly, after getting older and fatter, your looks are gone forever."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, the scene suddenly changed.

The leading actor Shen Juan finally appeared on the big screen.

His image at this time is very different from the past. He has abandoned the exquisite makeup of a fashion icon and appeared almost without makeup. There are also many small scars on his face, but the smile on his face is still full of sunny and healing youthfulness.

There seemed to be some small commotion in the screening room.

"Fuck! So cool!"

"The youthfulness is back!"

"The undisputed world's top coach!"

"It's hard to win the Best Actor award with this appearance"

"She looks so much like my first love!"

"Are you dreaming again?"

"Only a big screen like this can perfectly show my beautiful face! My whole face is flawless!"

While the audience was still marveling at Shen Juan's handsome face on the big screen, the scene quietly switched to a high school campus.

The slogans of morning jogging and the sounds of early reading instantly drag the audience back to the unforgettable time of preparing for the college entrance examination. The realistic cold-toned images and the invisible sense of depression set the tone for the movie.

This is the opening of the film, and the story of redemption in "Better Days" slowly begins from here.

The story begins with Hu Xiaodie being bullied to the point of jumping off a building to commit suicide. Chen Nian couldn't bear it, so she went downstairs and covered her body with her school uniform.

Afterwards, Wei Lai, played by Zhou Ye, made her debut.

With a sweet smile, she came from the front of the team to the end of Chen Nian's team with a few followers, and enthusiastically invited Chen Nian to do homework with them after school. Anyone who saw her would think that she was a beautiful and enthusiastic good student.

However, the implicit capture of the camera, as well as her inadvertent eyes and tone, seemed to convey a different message to the audience who felt something was wrong: Wei Lai, it seems, is not as simple as everyone imagined.

As expected, Chen Nian's panicked reaction of fleeing quickly, as well as the scene of Hu Xiaodie being photographed in the toilet after being bullied, instantly made the audience realize: Wei Lai and her followers were the culprits who forced Hu Xiaodie into a desperate situation.

The faint smile on Wei Lai's face and the innocent look in her eyes formed a sharp contrast with her bad behavior.

This strong sense of contrast brings out the complexity of the character vividly and forces the audience to admit that the actor who plays Wei Lai has really good acting skills. He successfully established the character just by the contrast in appearance and behavior.

“That look is evil.”

"I've been bullied before, and this is the look in the eyes of a bully, smiling on the surface, but it's creepy."

"Isn't it that he is playing himself?"

"I don't know, but this actress is pretty."

"Of course she is beautiful. If she is not beautiful, how can she date Shen Juan?"

"What? She is Shen Juan's girlfriend?"

"You just found out? Didn't Xiang Wang officially announce it last week? Damn, they really were dating on the show without caring about who was around! So cool! I've never seen such a bold celebrity couple. No, it should be that the celebrity brought his amateur partner to debut on the show, Shen Juan loves him so much!"

"Yes, it was trending on the Internet at that time. They are so sweet! Now there is even a CP topic about Shen Renjing!"

"What? What about the spring?"

"Just leave it alone! However, Spring's super topic sign-in is still the most popular at the moment. After all, there are too few sweet materials for real-life CPs. How can it be as interesting as character + real-life CPs?"
