Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 391 Comparable to Bieber, Aiming for Mars

I stayed in London on the 15th to rest and visited various attractions within the city, which I could barely call broadening my horizons.

Actually, Shen Juan was previously criticized by some netizens for filming travel vlogs overseas, who accused him of being a Western worshipper.

He praised the Louvre, and netizens criticized him for not understanding history, asking if he didn't know that the Louvre's artifacts were all looted.
But is it possible that he was praising the artifacts in the Louvre that represent the artistic achievements of all humankind?

Rather than the colonial plundering by the West.

If the Louvre were to burn down one day, the loss would not only be suffered by France, the temporary custodian, but by all of humanity.

As long as those cultural relics remain there, there will be opportunities to reclaim them as the country grows stronger in the future.

If we burn them all down, it would be a lose-lose situation, and there's no need to go to such extremes.

If your belongings are stolen by robbers, you should think about how to get them back, not burn them.

In April of this year, when news of the Notre Dame Cathedral burning reached China, Shen Juan was met with a barrage of criticism on Instagram while the nation was celebrating and applauding. He was accused of being a Western worshipper and not understanding the extent of the harm France had caused to China in the past.

During this process, many marketing accounts and influential figures suspected of having ties with foreign forces stirred up trouble online, claiming that Shen Juan's fashion resources were basically all from the French LVMH Group, while his music career was mainly in the United States, thus claiming that he himself had a rare tendency.

Then the Women's Spring Organization claimed that Shen Juan's behavior of having a harem of multiple women was an objectification of women and a trampling on women's dignity.

He indoctrinates believers online every day, treating Shen Juan as a charlatan and calling him Satan, the enemy of Nvquan.

In short, many organizations and groups that have traveled from America across the ocean are looking for opportunities to target Shen Juan.

The bizarre thing is that there's actually a group of people who are obsessed with this, chasing after Shen Juan online every day like a pack of stray dogs and maggots.

Thankfully, he didn't buy property abroad.

It's fortunate that he criticized the boat team not long ago.

Fortunately, he didn't act like his older brother, who would claim to be half from a certain place wherever he went, giving people ammunition to attack him.

Fortunately, through nearly two years of effort, he has initially cleared himself of the rare suspicions he had when he first entered the United States. In addition, the relevant departments have also strictly controlled public opinion about Shen Juan. Otherwise, this rare identity would probably have been confirmed again, and some foreign forces would have been able to apply for more funding for their operations if they saw the results.

It can only be said that the US is indeed a pioneer in the war of public opinion, having already infiltrated many corners without anyone noticing.

It can only be said that the more successful Shen Juan is in his music career, the more difficult he is in the public opinion arena.

If Shen Juan's backers don't use their special privileges to ban him directly, relying solely on his own PR team, he might actually be labeled a "sheepdog" by this group of 500,000 people and sheepdogs, making it impossible for him to survive in China and ultimately forcing him to either flop or seek refuge with someone else.

If a Chinese person reaches this level without official protection, they would indeed be reduced to a stray dog ​​on the street.

On the 16th, Shen Juan and his entourage flew to Munich, Germany, to begin the next chapter of their Leviathan Era tour.

Just as Shen Juan was catching up on sleep and recovering his strength at an altitude of 10,000 meters, the Chinese entertainment fan circle was obviously in an uproar again because of a tabloid news released by British paparazzi.

Nian Beast King: [Shen Juan and Tian Xiwei were spotted by paparazzi at several tourist spots in London. Shen Juan, wearing a black mask, black baseball cap, and all-black attire, is seen wearing canvas shoes and a black long skirt, while Tian Xiwei is seen being affectionate and seemingly oblivious to others. #ShenJuanTianXiwei #ShenJuanTianXiweiLondon]

Then, several photos were added that looked like they were taken from a distance, but the image quality wasn't very clear.

The information revealed by these photos is quite simple.

That is, she loves it, and he loves it too.

[Let them date, after all. Sister Tian has been with Shen Juan since his early days as a newcomer, enduring so much online bullying. It's about time she had a proper relationship. Anyway, I'm just a fan of Shen Juan's career, his life, and his mother, so I don't care! If he wants to date, let him; if he doesn't like it, he can find someone else!]

[What's wrong with having both a successful career and a happy love life? Is that the ultimate ideal for normal people? Do you only feel happy when you're alone forever?]

[I saw the original video taken by a passerby on an external website for the fifth picture. It seems that Sister Tian felt her hands were cold, so she tucked them into her sleeves. When Wajuan saw this, he immediately pulled her sleeves up, then they intertwined their fingers and put their hands in his shirt pockets. That's so sweet! Just thinking about it makes me feel warm!]

[This has nothing to do with Juanjuan. Someone was cosplaying him in London. It's understandable that he doesn't clarify. Why should he clarify something that has nothing to do with him? As for Shen Yujie, who was exposed before, that's even more ridiculous. Don't you know she's Juanjuan's cousin? It's his cousin's birthday, so what's wrong with him taking her sightseeing in London? Don't you all have siblings?]

[Support Wotian, a winner in life!]

[Shen Juan: Happy Birthday! Yellow Orange!]

[This guy is amazing! They're openly strolling hand-in-hand in the streets of London, it seems they're both ready to go public. After all, Shen Juan is incredibly popular globally right now, arguably the world's leading man this year. It's hard to avoid being photographed under these circumstances, but the couple doesn't seem to care at all. Honestly, I think it's normal for celebrities to date. It's good that they're openly admitting it like Lu Han did; I respect that and wish them well.]

My first impression after watching the video was that Sister Tian is actually quite tall! I always thought she was shorter; her face is so deceptive. I always thought she was a round-faced, short-legged, sweet girl. I didn't expect her to look so good standing next to Juanjuan, who is 187cm tall. As for Juanjuan, she still stands out from the crowd. Even when she's completely covered up, it's hard for her not to attract attention when she goes out shopping; her aura is just too captivating!

[If it really is Juan, then I'm so happy for him! First, he was strolling around romantic Paris with the person he likes, and then he celebrated the birthday of the person he likes in foggy London. As long as Juan is happy, that's all that matters! Juan looks so cute walking and waving his little hand! I also want to walk with Juan, I'm Juan's dream girl!]

Similar to previous scandals, not many solo fans or female fans came forward to say they would unfollow.

Many fans even sent their blessings.

All I can do is offer my best wishes.

After all, in the eyes of these longtime fans, Shen Juan cannot lose love, just as the West cannot lose Jerusalem.

The dating ban only applies to idols with high popularity, but it cannot restrict actors and singers with outstanding professional skills.

And what if Shen Juan can't have a romantic relationship, and he can't create good works, which would affect his career progress?
With a constant stream of girlfriends and endless scandals, he's nicknamed "Male Taylor." How could such a singer be immune to romance?

So they chose to let themselves be.

After all, those with exceptional talent should have some privileges.

After landing in Munich, Shen Juan went to the Nürburgring circuit, which is located about 70 kilometers south of Cologne, Germany.

Before the concert rehearsal, he needed to complete the filming of Porsche's global promotional video here.

Meanwhile, he also has several interviews with German media outlets, primarily aimed at increasing his local profile, to complete.

"This model is equipped with a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine with a maximum output of 525 horsepower, matched with a 7-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission, and its actual acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is only 3.2 seconds."

Shen Juan pretended to casually rub the Porsche shield-shaped logo with his thumb, which was exquisite and textured. The Porsche representative followed closely behind their global ambassador, earnestly introducing the performance of the model he was about to experience, his voice sounding somewhat proud.

"This is the Porsche logo. The horse in the center represents a breed of noble horse that is famous in Stuttgart. The stag antlers indicate that Stuttgart was once a good hunting ground. The yellow stripes represent ripe wheat, the black represents fertile land, and the red symbolizes people's wisdom and love for nature. All of this constitutes a beautiful pastoral landscape, and also symbolizes Porsche's glorious past and bright future."

After filming the dialogue scenes, it's time for the action scenes.

Porsche hired their factory team driver Kevin Estre as Shen Juan's temporary mentor to take him on laps.

First, Shen Juan experienced a thrilling 6 minutes and 56 seconds "leisure lap time" from the passenger seat.

Then Shen Juan personally test-drove the car, with a professional driver providing guidance. It took him 12 minutes to complete the 20-kilometer journey.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with this track.

He was afraid that if he drove too fast, he would step on the curb and fly off the road. A few years ago, a GTR flew off the track and killed several people.

Moreover, the Nürburgring is surrounded by forests, and the accident rate is very high when the race is held there, resulting in many deaths.

Although Shen Juan could not be considered a coward, he obviously had to play it safe in the unfamiliar field of racing.

Even after achieving great success in the future, I plan to participate in Porsche's "Road to Le Mans" program, using my spare time to enjoy racing or participate in the filming of racing movies.

This kind of thing shouldn't be rushed.

(His Majesty the Supreme King of the NBA arrives today in his loyal Le Mans.)

Just a brief mention.
Kris races in GT4, the lowest level of racing, which is dominated by amateur and rookie drivers, also known as gentleman drivers or FIA bronze drivers. Neck races in GT3, a higher level, and even got a runner-up finish, but that was a result achieved by a duo team coached by a pro.

Neither of them is of any real value.

However, one can fool laymen by boasting and then use racing to cultivate a healthy and positive public image.

After all, motorsports is still a niche sport in the country.

So much so that even a few achievements can deceive the public.

Of course, it must be admitted that:
He really enjoyed the feeling of being free to express his true nature.

When you're under a lot of pressure, you need to find a way to release it.

In his view, skiing is undoubtedly a decent choice, but racing is clearly a higher level of excellence.

From the 18th to the 20th, the German leg of the performance was completed at the Munich Olympic Stadium, which can hold 80,000 people.

Interestingly, the German fans loved Shen Juan far more than Shen Juan had imagined, or perhaps they just wanted to get something for free.

Anyway, while Shen Juan was performing energetically in front of 70,000 spectators inside the stadium, there were still about 40,000 people on the grass outside the Olympic Mountain listening to a free concert. Especially when the melody of "Blinding Lights" started, hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside the stadium were dancing and having a blast. The 40,000 freeloaders, holding up their lit cell phone flashlights, gathered into a sea of ​​stars, and swayed the entire hillside into a starry sky in rhythm.

The waves formed by 70,000 glowing wristbands inside the venue resonated with the waves of 40,000 wild fans outside the venue, directly pushing #DancingOnAlexMountain# to the top of the global trending list.

When the videos and photos from the scene were uploaded online, they immediately made fans, especially German fans, stand tall with pride:
What the hell does "a sea of ​​people" even mean?

This is the power of Alex's fanbase! Do your idols have this kind of influence? I'd like to ask.

We weren't just enjoying a free concert; we were sharing the thrill of Alex's performance! We absolutely adore Alex!
Even the local government joined in the fun, announcing that from October 18th to October 20th each year, Mount Olympia would be temporarily renamed "Mount Alex" to commemorate the positive impact of Shen Juan's concert in Munich on the local economy and the enhancement of its international reputation.

Even the mayor joked on social media: "We used to say that music has no borders, but now we've proven that music can even change the name of a mountain!"

In response to the current widespread discussion, the Munich Tourist Board updated its official website overnight, listing "Alex Hill" as a must-visit attraction of the year, and even surrounding shops quickly launched commemorative hoodies printed with "I danced at Alex Hill".

The most amazing thing is that some fans discovered that local beer sales surged by 40% during the concert, with many people bringing beer to the concert in the mountains. They joked, "I suggest Munich list 'listening to Alex's concert with beer' as an intangible cultural heritage. This is the real way music drives GDP!"

It can only be said that "Shen Juan Economics" is not a term fabricated by the media to cater to Shen Juan's fans.

It really did serve its purpose!

And what about the next two days, the 21st and 23rd?
Shen Juan wasn't idle either.

He went directly to Austria and completed the recording of Kiwi's "Wandering the World" with Zhou Ye.

(Specific details will be discussed after the program airs.)

During this time, Shen Juan encountered another one.
No, it's two pieces of good news.

First, in Billboard's weekly chart released on October 22, Shen Juan's "Circles," which had been released for half a year, successfully climbed to the top of the chart with the help of fans.

It not only became his sixth number-one single, but also tied his number of number-one singles with Justin Bieber, second only to Bruno Mars, the "charity gambling king" among the new generation of five male pop stars.

Although many people believe that this is malicious chart manipulation by fans, even if "Circles" has a strong momentum, it doesn't make sense that it would suddenly rise to the top spot after being released for half a year without any new versions or music videos.

This led to Shen Juan receiving a lot of criticism and accusations.

Po Chuan, who was keeping a close eye on Zhengzhi's bargaining chips, also seized the opportunity to once again engage in a "love-hate" relationship with Shen Juan on Twitter.

But no matter what,
The achievements have already been included in Shen Juan's resume.

And even if we take a step back, does the performance of Circles really not deserve to be Billboard's number one chart?

In fact, the only obstacle preventing it from becoming a number one single was Shen Juan's other songs, such as Old Town Road and Blind Light.

They're essentially attacking themselves.

If these songs were released separately, they would have been number one by now!

Everyone understands this principle, so the group of people who disliked Shen Juan finished their rant and dispersed without pursuing the matter further.

After all, there are quite a few people in North America who love Circles, so they are overjoyed to see Circles finally win the championship!
How could I possibly be angry?

Then another piece of good news is that the complete list of nominees for this year's American Music Awards (AMA) has finally been released.

Shen Juan leads with nine nominations, receiving the most nominations among singers: Artist of the Year, Collaboration of the Year, Tour of the Year, Most Popular MV, Most Popular Collaboration, Most Popular Male Singer in Pop & Rock, Most Popular Album, Most Popular Song, and Most Popular Rap Song.

In addition, Shen Juan's good friends Malone and Ariana Grande received seven nominations, Billie Eilish, who was nominated for the first time, received six nominations, Taylor Swift and Li Nacha received five nominations, and the South Korean group BTS, also from Asia, received three nominations for Tour of the Year, Most Popular Social Artist, and Most Popular Group.

This sparked heated discussions.

Many fans hope that Shen Juan can do the same thing at the VMAs in August and wreak havoc at the AMAs in November!
[Aaaaaah, congratulations to my beloved Juanjuan on "Circles" topping the Billboard Weekly Chart!!! Six number-one singles in just two years since his debut, tying Justin Bieber, and only one step away from Bruno Mars, one of the top five male artists of the new generation—what an incredible career! Those who say it's chart manipulation, can you at least look at the North American iTunes real-time trends and radio airplay? A song from six months ago naturally climbed to number one; even chart-topping machines don't have this kind of staying power! Besides, when his own "Old Town Road" and "Blind Light" were taking turns dominating the charts, even with such fragmented audiences, he still managed to come back—that's true dominance, okay?]

[What's even more exciting is the AMA nominations announced today! Nine nominations, leading the entire US—that's something, folks! Of course, Billie Eilish's debut with six nominations is also amazing, but our Shen Juan Nian is going to be the most dazzling star of awards season! Remember his sweep of the VMAs in August? This time at the AMAs, let's just type "Shen Juan Nian" in the comments and show the world what true top-tier dominance looks like!]

Unfortunately, as Shen Juan's status has soared, he has been suppressed and smeared by foreign forces, creating more and more rivals and offending more and more fans. At present, discussions about Shen Juan rarely show one-sided comments anymore.

No matter what, someone will always step in to complain and prevent him from having an easy time.

Therefore, many haters and rival fans took this opportunity to vent their anger over Circles' victory two days ago.

[Hilarious! A song released half a year ago suddenly surged to number one. Is there any other explanation besides fans recklessly spending money to inflate download numbers? Is Billboard now a fan club ranking? Do they really think listeners are blind and brainless and can't see the inflated numbers? At least BTS openly advertises their data links, but this guy, secretly buying numbers and still has the nerve to call it a "natural comeback"? Does he really think global music fans are just sitting around doing nothing?]

[Nine AMA nominations are the biggest joke of the year. Capital-backed privilege is truly something else. I suggest creating a separate award for "Most Popular Fan-Driven Ranking Machine." Look at Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Marlon Brando, and Ariana Grande—they let their work speak for itself, while this one relies on her company to bribe judges. The more nominations she gets, the uglier her behavior becomes.]

[They have the nerve to boast about "unrivaled dominance" when their own songs are manipulating the charts. Frankly, it's just rampant homogenization of their work, endlessly rehashing old material. Besides their fans, who can tell the difference between "Old Town Road" and "Circles"? Do they really think releasing them separately will guarantee a chart-topping success? Wake up! Without the hype and influence of online traffic, these songs would have been completely forgotten long ago. Do they really think these songs are amazing? If someone else sang them, they would have been off the charts by now! To put it bluntly, the fact that fans are attacking him on Twitter is actually boosting his image. This "Queen of Data" built on data manipulation will eventually be exposed for what it truly is.]

[Finally, I advise Sister Juan to stop boasting about "North American audiences liking it," it's truly shameful. Doesn't she know how many of Spotify's billions of streams are inflated by bots and Filipino data workers? If the AMAs dare to let him sweep the awards like he did at the VMAs this year, the Grammys will probably boycott this "data emperor" next year! After all, music awards aren't fan chart competitions; those who reach the top through underhanded means will ultimately fall harder, and the Grammys will teach them a lesson.]

Although the haters aren't entirely wrong.

Shen Juan's fans did indeed spontaneously organize a campaign to boost his ranking.

Their goal is to surpass Michael Jackson's five number-one albums and Katy Perry's six number-one albums, making Leviathan the first album in history to have seven number-one singles.

Following the natural trend, while Circles can stay in the top ten for a long time, it is difficult for it to make a comeback and win the championship.

Therefore, some extra help is naturally needed.

Moreover, the prediction by the troll who said, "The male god I've liked for so long could never be Shen Juan," that "the Grammys will teach him a lesson," actually makes some sense.

After all, the Grammys are different from awards like the AMA, VMAs, and BMAs; the Grammys are really capable of doing this kind of thing!

Those older, white-skinned bastards have done plenty of things to Sima, and Shen Juan thinks they'll pull off another heist next year.

But no matter what,
Thanks to the team's extensive online press releases across multiple platforms, the spontaneous explanations from fans and netizens, and the malicious smears from anti-fans, many discerning netizens have come to understand that Shen Juan has likely achieved another remarkable new accomplishment, otherwise he wouldn't have been attacked so harshly.

In fact, although they don't care about or understand the entertainment industry, they are already happy enough just to see their country's stars shining brightly overseas.

Therefore, Shen Juan, who has the backing of relevant departments and has not made any fundamental mistakes, is naturally supported unconditionally.

Shen Juan's popularity and public image in China have also seen a new surge.

Those rare comments accusing him of accepting illicit money from abroad and calling him a foreign worshipper can perhaps be quieted down for a while.

small theater

In an interview, Lan Yu, a host on the movie channel, asked Haocun: "We all know that you once said that your idol is Shen Juan, and you really like his songs and film works. So could you briefly share some interesting stories and experiences that happened during filming?"

Liu Haocun's eyes shone with a pure and sincere light: "There was actually a small misunderstanding between Juanjuan and me before."

"Misunderstand?"

Liu Haocun nodded, a smile typical of a well-behaved girl on her face: "But this misunderstanding was cleared up later."

"Oh?" Lan Yu asked with some curiosity, "So you misunderstood Shen Juan, or did Shen Juan misunderstand you?"

"Emmm, I think we've misunderstood each other," Liu Haocun said cutely, tilting his head.

"But that's not what he said."

"Then he's mistaken!"

Liu Haocun's smile remained unchanged as he spoke with unwavering certainty.

what?
Is the account "The male god I've liked for so long could never be Shen Juan" registered with my phone number?
Is the content inside all offensive remarks?
You've got it wrong!

I don't know anyone with that name at all!
Is it possible that someone else secretly registered using my phone number? After all, this thing can be used by multiple people.

Haven't you ever encountered this situation?

Moreover,
How could I possibly be Juanjuan's little blackie?

Don't you know I've always been a loyal fan of Juanjuan? I've been signing up on his supertopic for 800 days straight!
Even from the day we were born, fate had already bound us together. So every day and night we spend thereafter is actually an effort to meet again in the future. So how can you say that I, who was born on the same day, month and year as Juanjuan, am Juanjuan's little blackie?

How dare you!

I clearly care about him and love him so much.
People who call me a hater of Juanjuan are really mean!

They're clearly trying to ruin our relationship!

　I've been on tour lately and haven't had much other work, so I'm speeding things up a bit to get back to the Asia-Pacific region and start the East and Southeast Asia leg of the tour soon.
