Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 381 Why does Kris always imitate Alex?

With the annual VMAs successfully concluded, discussions about the awards ceremony continue.

It even escalated.

Aside from Shen Juan's 6 wins out of 14 nominations, beating out many top singers to become the biggest winner of the night, and also filling the last gap in the discussion (mainstream awards), the most talked-about topic was undoubtedly the online controversy and subsequent events caused by Shen Juan's positive response to the boat crash incident during his acceptance speech.

The person in charge responded on Twitter in the early hours of the morning: 【.】

Shen Juan quickly forwarded and replied: 【.】

Ariana Grande quickly followed suit, standing up for her "male confidant," sparking a frenzy among Alexana shippers.
【.】

Cardi B posted a video specifically about this.
With friends on one side and enemies on the other, Taylor, who already had a falling out with someone, wouldn't miss the chance to launch a tirade.

American netizens are absolutely thrilled!
It's a tradition here to curse the person in charge; you can't call yourself a top star if you don't come out and hurl a few insults!
In their opinion, Alex was still too polite, and they couldn't wait to take this opportunity to say a few more harsh words.

The main theme is watching the drama unfold and enjoying the spectacle!

Shen Juan's attitude is "not to cause trouble, but not to be afraid of trouble either." When trouble comes knocking and there is no way to avoid it, then he will fight.

Some things that might sound like a fantasy in China are actually quite common in the United States.

If others can curse, why can't he?

They've been humiliated and attacked on Twitter, and they're still cowering and playing dead. That's what real cowards do!
He could never do something like what Master Lay did: being humiliated by foreigners, not daring to talk back to their faces, but instead responding angrily on Weibo, a platform for domestic users, which caused fans and netizens to go wild and exclaim, "Brother Lay is awesome, he brings glory to our country!"

As a result, many Chinese netizens who previously disliked Shen Juan and thought he was a pretentious show-off suddenly realized their mistake.
It seems we really misunderstood him before.

It turns out he wasn't showing off; he was just young and impetuous, daring to even insult the leader of the Ugly country. He was indeed extremely arrogant!

It seems we really underestimated him before.

It turns out that criticizing the Golden Horse Awards, Jolin Teng, and Teng Huatao is far from his limit.

Kris was truly convinced at this point.

Two years ago, this guy was stirring up trouble in the hip-hop community and forming cliques. Two years later, he went abroad and started stirring up trouble with influential figures.

Who would have thought of that?
In a few years, will you lead the club to the moon?

The more I think about it, the more heartbroken and regretful I become.
He felt that the worst decision he had ever made in his life was to befriend Shen Juan. If he had been able to humble himself and get along with him properly back then, the follower standing behind Shen Juan now would not be that fool Zhang Yixing, but him. In that case, he could have gotten one step closer to his ideal!

As for Japan and South Korea
To be honest, they were having a blast.

Although outsiders call them loyal dogs of white skin, only they themselves know whether they have a rebellious heart or are disloyal.

So now we see Shen Juan, who is also East Asian and has yellow skin, directly criticizing the blond old man at the VMAs.

It's just as satisfying as seeing an angry South Korean leader in a movie make the US ambassador kneel under the Taegeuk flag to apologize!
As expected of Shen Juanxi, Shen Juan oppa, and Alex-san, they accomplished what we couldn't do with ease.

This is the pride of all of Asia!

On the afternoon of August 29, Shen Juan went to the venue for his New York concert, the Metropolitan Stadium, to begin rehearsals.

After the VMAs concluded, Shen Juan used the gap between his two city tours to engage in a Twitter battle with Pu Chuan, generating buzz, while simultaneously completing the cover shoot for the October issue of the Chinese edition of ELLE in New York, as well as the filming of the new season's global advertising campaigns for Adidas and Beats headphones.

So it's the same as always.

Holidays are scarce.

After all, there are just too many endorsements.

"Is the rehearsal finished? If it is, there are a few program invitations that I need you to confirm in person."

While Shen Juan was taking a break and hydrating backstage, Yangyang Jin, who had just finished a phone call, walked over with her work tablet.

"You said."

"First of all, NHK, a Japanese television station, has a program called 18 Festival that wants you to be this year's singer-songwriter and performing guest." Yang Yangjin then explained why NHK took the initiative to contact you: "This program usually invites popular bands, but considering that your Koshien theme song has achieved great success and reputation in Japan, coupled with your influence among Japanese teenagers, they still sent you an invitation."

"18 Festival? What kind of program is this?" Shen Juan felt that the name was not very proper, and it sounded a bit like the title of an action movie.

The innocent Yangyang Jin didn't think much of it. "Simply put, it's about having 18-year-old boys and girls in Japan record their troubles, dreams, and other thoughts, then having the performing guests create a song based on these contents, and then selecting 1000 representative young people from the entire internet to perform a chorus together. At the same time, we will also select some of the more representative young people to make a documentary in the form of interviews and recordings."

"Was the background check okay? I don't want to be associated with any Japanese shrines or abstract Shoji or anything like that."

"Don't worry, this program has nothing to do with these kinds of things."

When will the recording take place?

"It'll be at the end of the year; they'll decide based on your availability."

"That's certainly something we can do."

When Shen Juan plans to hold a tour in Japan at the end of the year, he will also release a Japanese EP containing several new songs.

Therefore, this program might serve a fairly good promotional purpose, allowing him to earn more money from Fukuzawa Yukichi.

"Then came the invitations from domestic programs. iQiyi made a travel slow variety show, and we planned to put Cheng Xiao and Zhou Ye on it. But iQiyi said that instead of having the two of them team up, it would be better for you to team up separately with them and travel to different countries. This would also allow your audience to reach them."

Now that Sister Tian has her own "Women's Mystery Club" with her as the absolute core, the other two members of the BIG3 naturally need to get their share of resources as well.

Although Shen Juan did not intend to cultivate them as popular young actresses, the girls themselves did not have that intention either.

Because that would be too busy!
It's important to understand that for a couple to maintain a good relationship, at most one person can be busy with work. If both are very busy and see each other infrequently, there's a high probability that they will break up.

Regardless of Shen Juan's reaction to this matter and its outcome, they certainly cannot accept it.

After all, they entered the entertainment industry in the first place to get closer to Shen Juan, and if they were to drift further and further away from him...
Wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?

"Do I have time?" Shen Juan asked.

But the necessary resources should still be available.

Only by having your own career can you develop your own independent personality.

He's in a relationship, not keeping a canary in a cage.

Yangyang Jin knew that Shen Juan's question actually meant he was interested; otherwise, he would have rejected her outright instead of asking about her schedule.
So she replied, "It should be during the European tour in October. This program is also recorded in Europe, so it's like recording for three days here, having a concert, and then recording for another three days in a different country with a different partner, making up a whole schedule, and finally broadcasting it as a three-part program."

Shen Juan nodded to indicate that he understood, and after thinking for a moment, replied in a deep voice, "That's fine, but can we make some requests regarding the recording location? For example, I'd like to go to Hallstatt in Austria."

Yangyang Jin frowned slightly: "I can't guarantee that we can reach an agreement, but we can try to communicate. After all, we still have about two months to prepare. But I'm curious why it has to be here?"

Shen Juan raised an eyebrow and smiled easily, "That probably goes back to a promise made a long, long time ago."

As night fell, the New York City Mets Stadium, which can hold up to 82500 people, was illuminated with dazzling lights, and the air was filled with excitement and anticipation.

This is the venue for Shen Juan's "The Leviathan Era Tour" concert. Fans have come from all over the world just to witness the charm of this pop superstar.

And tonight is destined to be an extraordinary night.

Because everyone knew that there was a big-name guest who had already been announced, and he would be on stage with Shen Juan.

However, it was only a little past seven o'clock, and the concert hadn't started yet, so An Ruolin was currently arguing with someone on Weibo. The incident stemmed from photos of Wu Jiaheng holding hands intimately with a girl, which netizens discovered was Qin Niu Zhengwei, a student at the Beijing Film Academy. He immediately denied it, drawing ridicule from passersby who accused him of being irresponsible, not a real man, and even of imitating Shen Juan in choosing a girlfriend—a complete knock-off!
This infuriated Megan, who, as the saying goes, "even a clay figure has some temper, and Megan also has her moments of anger!"
So they bravely fought back, still haunted by the memory of their previous massacre, and launched another suicide attack on Shen Juan.

[My sister-in-law has gone from an ordinary person to an internet celebrity to a girl group actress—enough to form a rugby team! And she still has the nerve to mock Hengheng for not daring to admit her relationship? Shen Juan was photographed entering and leaving a hotel in Shanghai with those two Russian internet celebrities from Xinglian, and fans immediately said it was "music research." That's really something! So, those obscene songs like "Seven" and "50 Feet" were all produced through this kind of research? If Juanzi does a few more, will she become Michael Jackson?]

[No wonder he's so close to Miss Shen, they're all in the same group! Fans, open your eyes and see the world! Your brother has had dozens of wives in just two years, from ordinary girls to Douyin influencers to K-pop flops. Meigeni has compiled a "Chronicle of the Shen Family Wives" overnight. Click to see the birth of the king of the sea!]

Although Megni was furious at the moment, to be honest, Little Spring Roll didn't take them seriously at all.

After all, when you have no ability to pose a threat to others, even your anger and rage will be seen as cuteness.

In Xiao Chun Juan's eyes, Meigeni and the fan base of all the top celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry are pretty much the same.

Most of the time they are compliant, occasionally panting, but they quickly succumb to their iron fists and play dead again.

Last month there was purple rice, today there's megani.

They were all objects of their amusement.

Therefore, many of the "little spring rolls" (a term used to describe young people) are arguing and fighting with these angry "hajini" (another term used to describe fans of the same name) with a smile on their faces.

After all, the point of playing games is to have fun.

The older sisters have been out having fun recently, so why bother with you bunch of lowlifes?
[Hahaha, this is absolutely hilarious! Even when looking for a sister-in-law, you have to pick the same place. Hengheng, you're too fond of this, hahaha!]

[Sister Niu has entrusted herself to the wrong person! Both are ordinary women, look at how well Sister Tian and Sister Ye live next door! They have a big house to live in, countless beautiful women, relationships, and even British police. And Sister Niu... So does anyone still remember that entry related to length? Like Heng Heng's... you know.]

[Man's courage: letting an ordinary girl shoulder the burden alone; Juan's romance: writing it into a song, working from Monday to Sunday. Those who know, know. These two are not in the same league in terms of professional ability, achievements, or even their attitude and character towards their ordinary sister-in-law. Juan really wins by a huge margin.]

[After I brutally violated him and gave him a concussion, he's become addicted to being treated roughly. Could he have really become a lesbian?]

A foreign electronic music Pikachu with extremely poor performance skills, and a pure-blooded Chinese who recently launched a "holy war" on Twitter, winning back a lot of dignity for China.

The passersby clearly knew who to help.

[Returned idol + hip-hop + dating a non-celebrity + outstanding film achievements + international career path. One became a hit, the other didn't. Got it! Chris and Alex are only different in terms of nationality. Hengheng should hurry up and return to the embrace of his motherland!]

[The Central Academy of Drama has suffered an epic downgrade, and the quality of female students at the Beijing Film Academy has now been personally certified by Juanjuan and Hengheng.]

So what about the Shanghai Theatre Academy? Why not talk about it? Is it because you're afraid of being targeted by that woman and her lackeys?

[Didn't that Wang Churan, a struggling actress from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, survive? And she even made it onto Shen Juan's dating reality show, "Back to Field."]

[Just a neutral observer's comment: Wu Jiaheng was photographed for 9 hours and forced the non-celebrity woman to issue a statement to clarify, while Shen Juan, when rumored to be dating, directly confronted the paparazzi, saying "None of your business, come at me if you have a problem." Although he criticized the paparazzi for their poor manners, the difference in their behavior is clear. So, Ni Jie, don't get upset. Otherwise, your idol will suffer a concussion, and you'll be traumatized by Shen Juan's fans. What will that make you? A hot weapon between Shen Juan and Xiao Chun Juan? Sigh, it really doesn't sound good.]

Seeing this, An Ruolin finally smiled with satisfaction.

Although she is a new fan who only joined this year.

But I have to say, being a fan of Shen Juan is just so satisfying!

Achievements always come out on top.

Fan wars never end badly for them.

The only remaining issue, the sister-in-law, has become a "fan perk" for Shen Juan, who doesn't care about status and yearns for free love, thanks to the company team's continuous marketing efforts.

This means that anyone could become Shen Juan's girlfriend, and anyone could enter Shen Juan's "fishpond".

(Zzz: Am I not human anymore?)

Therefore, many self-important female fans have expressed online that if even Sister Tian can do it, then I can too!

I'm prettier than her, have a better figure, am more hydrated, and more open-minded than her, yet I don't have as many demands as she does!
Compared to Sister Tian, ​​all I lack is an opportunity.

Of course, no one knows exactly how much is missing.

Shen Juan only knew that his fans were becoming increasingly loyal.

No matter how you look at it, this is a good thing.

After the exhilarating first half of the performance, around 9 p.m., the giant screen on the stage began playing past music videos of the "mystery guest," Taylor Swift. The classic melodies and images evoked countless memories for the fans, and cheers erupted throughout the venue.

Suddenly, the lights converged, and Taylor made a dazzling entrance, wearing a pale pink dress that shimmered with starlight!

She walked gracefully to the center of the stage, smiling and waving to the 70,000 spectators. Her voice, amplified by microphones and speakers, resounded throughout the entire MetLife stadium: "All the Alovers who support Alex, trust Alex, and love Alex, and New York, are you ready?!"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"

Instantly, the entire venue erupted in cheers.

Fans held up glowing wristbands and screamed in unison, their voices deafening, as if they were about to lift the stadium dome off.

Taylor Swift first reignited the atmosphere with "You Need To Calm Down," and then promoted her album "Lover," which was released last week, with "Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince," a song that will be the opening track of her future tour.

Then, the stage lights gradually dimmed, and the atmosphere became somewhat mysterious.

Taylor took the guitar from the staff member, gently plucked the strings, and a familiar melody began to play.

It's "Lover".

To be precise, it's the "Lover" Remix version, a collaboration between Shen Juan and Taylor, released today, August 30th.

"We can leave the Christmas lights up 'til January'," her gentle voice flowed through the air, as if quietly telling a romantic love story, and the audience members who were familiar with the song hummed along softly.

Just then, Shen Juan, who had gone backstage for a short rest and adjustment, returned to the stage with a brand new look.

The entire audience erupted in a deafening roar of screams.

Some fans who support both Alex and Taylor were even moved to tears.

It's really hard for non-fans to understand the emotions that have been waiting for so long and are finally being released and exploding at this moment.

Shen Juan smiled and nodded to the screaming fans, then walked over to Taylor. The two exchanged a glance, and Shen Juan began to sing his part: "We could light a bunch of candles and dance around the kitchen, baby."

The two voices complemented each other wonderfully, their high and low tones echoing each other, perfectly showcasing the sweetness and deep affection in the song.

As the chorus approached, the stage lights became even more dazzling and dreamlike, with colorful beams flashing constantly on and off the stage. The two singers sang with even greater passion: "Can I go where you go? Can we always be this close forever and ever?"

At this moment, the entire Metropolitan Stadium was transformed into a sea of ​​joy, and a romantic atmosphere enveloped everyone.

"My my my Lover." As the last note fell, all the stage lights instantly turned on.

Shen Juan and Taylor first embraced each other with smiles, and then bowed deeply to the 70,000 audience members to express their gratitude.

The crowd erupted in thunderous cheers and screams, as if they wanted all of New York to hear Shen Juan's name.

Without a doubt, this moment has become an unforgettable memory for the nearly 70,000 fans present.

As the tour progresses, fan cohesion is rising to a level that no one could have predicted before.

　The main content of the tour is almost finished. The rest of the tour section will focus on other work and the female lead's daily life.
