Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 397 Leviathan Bombs Tokyo

Actually, Shen Juan had nothing to say about Wu Jiaheng's current subservient and obsequious behavior.

The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.

A dog can't stop eating shit.

Back when this bastard was at the top of his class, he spent a lot of money publishing smear articles about him online and stirring up trouble for him.

Fortunately, Wajuan didn't have a meme as widely known as Kunkun, otherwise he probably wouldn't have had a good time back then.

Moreover, you can't only admit your mistakes when you can't beat others and have completely lost hope of turning things around.

So in Shen Juan's view, Chris was just being so docile because he had been beaten so badly and was afraid of being beaten.

He did not truly repent.

He doesn't really know he's wrong.

He was simply afraid of being retaliated against by Shen Juan in various ways, and afraid of being humiliated by Shen Juan's fans.

Therefore, reconciliation is impossible.

Shen Juan never believed that Wu Jiaheng could undergo such a significant personality change in less than two years.

Unless, as the fan community jokingly suggests, he suffers from some kind of mental illness and becomes a transgender person who is neither male nor female.

Carrying the clothes and pants he bought from FOURTRY back to the car, Shen Juan handed them directly to his assistant.

We'll just distribute them to the team members later and that'll be it.

Shen Juan frequently provides his team members with various forms of benefits to enhance their intangible benefits, resulting in a very stable team structure. Basically, no one is willing to leave, which is in stark contrast to other teams in the same industry that have a very rapid turnover of personnel.

Let's not talk about the close-knit family of lumberjacks.

At least there is a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere.

After all, Shen Juan didn't want to end up like Lao Song, who fired his assistant only to be bitten in return and have his dirty secrets exposed.

There are far too many celebrities in this industry who have become so arrogant that they don't treat their assistants and other team members like human beings.

The problem is that these team members are probably the people who know the true nature of celebrities in private the most. Can people who have so much secret information really be easily alienated?
Having lofty aspirations naturally requires attention to all aspects.

Dinner was udon noodles again.

Shen Juan even posted a selfie of himself and udon noodles on Weibo and Instagram, consciously building a bond with udon noodles.

As an artist, one should have a sense of humor, so he is happy to create these harmless little jokes for everyone, which helps to bring idols and fans closer together.

As for who will serve me tonight.
Shen Juan originally wanted to find Elaiza Ikeda for a 1v1, but then he remembered that the girl Abin kept calling him on LINE.

This woman is the type who's bad at the game but has a strong addiction to it.

In addition, the three of them had previously fought against landlords together frankly and honestly, so they had experience in this kind of battle.

So in the end, we decided to invite her to join the raid as well.

It's the so-called first time to be born and second time to be familiar.

Only when two Sakurajima farmers work together and cooperate effectively can the landlord with multiple guns be satisfied.

I slept until the sun was high in the sky.

Head straight to the concert venue—the Tokyo Dome in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, which can hold 5.5 people.

In the car, Shen Juan was replying to WeChat messages on his phone and handling business that required his personal confirmation. For example, the Starlink brand expansion plan mentioned earlier was progressing step by step. He had successfully contacted many teams of athletes outside the system and reached preliminary cooperation agreements with them.

First up is Zhang Weili, China's first UFC champion.

In her chat with Shen Juan, she said that she has always been a fan of combat sports and loves watching UFC matches.

Netizens can vouch for him on this point.

Around the time Jin Fu got into trouble, he happened to go to see the UFC Beijing event with Lu Han and Wang Jiaer. They excitedly shared their feelings on Weibo, which led to the group of netizens who attacked Nvquan accusing him of having violent genes and being a hidden domestic abuser.
Zhang Weili was extremely grateful, feeling that Shen Juan was another benefactor she had met on her life's journey!
So they kept expressing their gratitude.

After all, for an athlete who will most likely spend a long time competing overseas in the future and who does not yet have a large fan base, finding such a world-renowned figure with fans everywhere can definitely provide her with material support and psychological encouragement!

In addition, they also contacted Zheng Qinwen, an athlete who is still a minor, and Zhang Zhilei, a 36-year-old boxer.

Shen Juan also chatted with them.

Like Zhang Weili, Zhang Zhilei was naturally very grateful to Shen Juan for his selfless support during his overseas training.

One could say that if this act of offering help in times of need and spending a fortune to acquire a man's talent were in ancient times, it might have been enough to recruit this two-meter-tall strong man from Henan as his personal bodyguard.

As for Zheng Qinwen, in addition to the essential gratitude and thanks, he also felt a sense of admiration and longing for Shen Juan.

As mainstream media have said, after Shen Juanshuang's food products reached two extremes in the market, his current popularity and influence are so great that he holds an extraordinary place in the hearts of many Gen Z young people in this era, whether they like him or not.

Even the most hating and loathing person would probably not say that Shen Juan is a nobody that no one cares about.

In short, Starlink will sponsor athletes who sign with the label as angel investors.

They are responsible not only for their media relations and online image management, but also for some of their training costs.

Although this business model is unlikely to generate sustained and substantial revenue, athletes' incomes are quite limited.

But Shen Juan wasn't even in it for the money.

If he wants to make money, he has plenty of ways.

Moreover, athletes of their caliber spend at most a few million Chinese yuan on training each year.

This number is nothing to Shen Juan; he can easily earn eight figures just by taking on an endorsement.

So this is equivalent to investing in the future, and the actual returns may not be seen for several years.

Of course, Shen Juan wasn't in a hurry, because he was only 21 years old and had plenty of time to slowly cultivate and develop his own power.

Imagine having three thousand retainers like Lord Mengchang, cultivating your own "confidants" in all walks of life, building your own network of connections, and using them to promote your activities without leaving home, expanding your fame and influence, and further establishing your superior status. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
After dealing with the label matter, there was also news about the private jet and real estate he had previously asked his consultant to purchase.

A brand new Gulfstream G650ER will cost about 4.5 times the price of a small target, which means it can be sold for 5 million.

Considering the need for friendship, the demand for private jets has increased significantly, making now the most cost-effective time to buy.

Of course, if you want a personalized service like Jordan, Kardashian, Musk, or Ronaldo, you'll have to pay extra.

Then, regarding housing, they bought a top-floor river-view duplex in OCT Suzhou Creek in Shanghai for 1.9 million yuan.

位于62层，518平，4房2厅5卫。

Although it doesn't have the fame of Tomson Riviera or COFCO Ocean View One, nor the high-end status of Tang Palace, overall, the facilities and conditions are quite good, making it very suitable for young public figures like Shen Juan who are easily subjected to excessive attention and harassment from fans, but who do not want to live in a secluded place to escape the world.

After finishing our business, I put down my phone.

Shen Juan leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh.

An airplane, a house.
He just casually spent a hundred million dollars.

Many of my peers would never earn this much money in their entire lives.

Thinking about it this way, it's really quite amazing.

However, he didn't feel any heartache.

After all, he has too many ways to make money now (endorsements, albums, tours, film and television investments), and the money comes in too quickly (a single concert brings in $8 million before tax, averaging 12 shows per month). Spending $100 million is hardly a financial blow, so there's no need for him to feel disappointed.

Moreover, he also needs to learn how to spend money and how to consume, because this is an essential step for him to move on to the next stage.

At 6:30 p.m. Tokyo time, about an hour before the concert was scheduled to begin, the streets near Tokyo Dome were already packed with people, and traffic was on the verge of collapse.

While filling a venue to 50,000 people isn't an extraordinary achievement—many famous singers and idol groups have performed for that many people—the Leviathan Era tour currently averages 60,000 people per show, and the Tokyo Dome's maximum capacity doesn't even reach the average number of people for a tour.

But compared to those top idols in the Chinese entertainment industry who rely on the Great Firewall to their advantage, exploit information asymmetry to call themselves international stars and fool netizens like sharks, yet struggle to even hold shows for a thousand people overseas, these 50,000 people represent a height they could never reach overseas in their entire lives.

At the entrance of Tokyo Dome, many fans who managed to get tickets through various means some time ago and were fortunate enough to attend Shen Juan's Leviathan Era Tour Tokyo concert tonight are queuing in an orderly manner to have their tickets checked and wait to enter.

During the long queue, many girls gathered in small groups to chat with fellow enthusiasts in order to vent their excitement at seeing Shen Juan, thus passing the time and diverting their attention.

For example, Ichiyo Nakamura from Osaka in the Kansai region and Yui Kitamura from Tokyo were chatting. They were about the same age, had the same hobbies (Shen Juan), and were both underage high school students. So after a brief introduction and conversation, they naturally became acquainted.

"Didn't NHK organize the 18 Festival registration event a while ago? My neighbor's older sister was selected. It's a pity I didn't meet the age requirement, otherwise I would have had the chance to see Suzy up close. It's such a shame." Nakamura Ichiyo looks a bit like Bae Suzy, South Korea's national first love.

Kitamura Yui smiled and replied with deep sympathy, "Wow, what you said makes me a little sad too. I just turned 17 and met the minimum age requirement, but unfortunately I wasn't selected. So many people in Japan like Shen Juan SAMA, the probability of being selected is really low."

"My neighbor's older sister told me that Juanjuan is incredibly tall and handsome, with a very small face and exquisite features that are like a perfect work of art! He's also incredibly gentle and kind to his fans, just like a prince! Now that I think about it, I'm really starting to feel more and more regretful."

"I've also seen the comments from fans online after seeing Juanjuan, and it really makes me jealous."

"And who isn't?"

"Sigh, just thinking about it makes me feel bad."

"So, Kitamura-san, have you read Juanjuan's 'GO! GO! Cinderella's Unrequited Love' and 'Shonen no Kimi'?"

"Of course I've seen it! Shen Juan SAMA was so handsome in the drama that I screamed dozens of times every episode, and the plot was super sweet! The female lead was also quite cute! Then I saw 'The Boy's Prince' in the cinema. I was crying the whole time towards the end, because they all seemed so depressed and pitiful."

"Huh?! I was crying while watching it too!"

"It's a very touching storyline~" "And what about 'Back to Field'?"

"Shen Juan SAMA has participated in this program for two consecutive years. As an Alovers, how could I not have seen it?"

"Haha, so Kitamura-san has also finished up all of Juanjuan's materials? From movies to reality shows."

"Of course! It's not just these materials, I even spend money to support the products that Shen Juan SAMA endorses!"

"for example."

"For example, the colored contact lenses I'm wearing right now are from PLAYUP, which Your Highness endorses, and then there's YSL and Estée Lauder."

"Si Guoyi!"

As the two chatted about Shen Juan's various interesting stories, they became more and more enthusiastic, and the queue in front of them gradually shortened.

Soon it was their turn to have their tickets checked.

After showing their tickets, they entered smoothly and received a gift box that Shen Juan had specially prepared for the audience at the front desk.

Like other excited and curious fans, the two couldn't wait to open the gift box.

As one thoughtful little gift after another was presented, gasps of amazement rose and fell throughout the room.

"Eh? Is this a handwritten letter from His Highness Shen Juan? Wow! Chinese on the front and Japanese on the back, the handwriting is so beautiful!"

"And posters! Hahaha! I'm going to put them in my room, it'll make me feel so good every day!"

"This panda keychain is so cute! I love pandas! And there's even a thank you message in Japanese engraved on the back."

"Huh? Is this paper cutting?"

"This bookmark is so beautiful! It's in Chinese calligraphy, isn't it!"

"Si Guoyi! Shen Juansang is really dedicated!"

“He has always loved us.”

"So we need to love him even more!"

Speaking of which, the concert limited edition gift box that Shen Juan prepared for his Japanese fans contained a total of six small gifts:

The items include a photocopy of a handwritten thank-you letter that moved fans to tears (with Chinese characters on the front and Japanese on the back), a highly collectible commemorative poster for the Leviathan Era Tokyo tour, a panda keychain authorized by the Chengdu Panda Base, decorative window stickers, and beautifully designed Chinese calligraphy bookmarks.
It also includes a booklet with the first half titled "Shen Juan's Tokyo Stroll Map" and the second half titled "Shen Juan's Chinese Dream Travel Route" (both containing photos of various attractions), along with handwritten annotations such as "Let's go here together next time" and many interactive promotional brochures about little-known facts about Chinese culture.

In the current international public opinion environment, as an officially recognized representative of the country and a Gen Z youth leader with a large following, Shen Juan hopes to maintain and improve the country's image and contribute to enhancing its international standing through cultural export.

Furthermore, in order to downplay the traces of cultural export, every page of the booklet is printed with Shen Juan's photo, which is very popular with fans and makes it difficult for the authorities to find a reason to explicitly block it. After all, Shen Juan was just sharing his favorite Chinese tourist attractions, and they really couldn't find a suitable reason to boycott it.

With 50,000 people at the scene practically boiling with excitement and anticipation, the time finally arrived at 7:30 pm.

As the one-minute countdown on the stage's big screen ended, the concert that countless fans had been eagerly anticipating finally began.

Amidst the exaggerated screams of the 50,000 audience members who seemed to want to lift the dome and bombard the Tokyo night sky with their enthusiasm, the legendary intro, which I had heard and seen countless times online before, still sent shivers down my spine and gave me goosebumps when I heard and experienced it live, began to play.

"What shady things did he do to achieve such success? I don't think he's that great."

"More than 20 women are entangled with Shen Juan."

"He had many grudges and was notorious."

"His private life is chaotic, he is not a qualified role model, and he has led tens of thousands of young people astray!"

"Alex's enthusiasm for charity and his willingness to donate are simply to gain attention and a good reputation."

"So far, everything Shen Juan has done has been mediocre and insignificant; he has been severely overestimated by the world!"

"."

"There will be no explanation."

"There will just be leviathan."

As the last electric sound faded away, Shen Juan unveiled the wings covering him, making a stunning appearance!
The Tokyo Dome was instantly ignited.

The glowing audience wristbands were all uniformly turned red, and the vast sea of ​​red amazed everyone present.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"

The pent-up excitement of 50,000 fans erupted uncontrollably, with screams from all directions converging like a storm, all to express their most fervent and purest love to Shen Juan, who was at the center of the storm, and to let him know that they would always be with him.

All the slander, accusations, and insults from different countries and languages ​​in the opening intro are utter bullshit!
They only knew that even with a tarnished reputation and ruined honor, Shen Juan remained full of vitality and forged ahead relentlessly.

Faced with absolute power, all conspiracies and schemes that attempt to hinder him from moving further toward the future will be crushed!
He was born to shine in front of everyone, to make them fall in love, and to become their idol!

The high-definition camera continuously focused on the man on the stage who shone brightly, as if he were a god or a dream.

On the large screen on the stage, you could clearly see the red glow of the fans shining in Shen Juan's eyes.

At that moment, it was as if time had been stolen from the entire world, and almost everyone's breath and heartbeat froze.

Without a doubt, another masterpiece has emerged, one that can be called a treasure and will be etched in the memories of the fans at the scene for a lifetime.

What does it mean to be world-renowned?

That's it.

Everyone was silently calling out his name in their hearts.

What does it mean to be full of vigor and high spirits?

That's it.

This is the embodiment of the phrase "in the prime of life".

She exudes a superstar aura of effortless confidence, and her beautiful eyes are filled with the pure and passionate love of her fans.

They had never seen such an aura before! It was absolutely breathtaking and stunning, even if they saw it a thousand times!
But they quickly returned to reality, as the intro to the opening theme, "Cruel Summer," began to play.

"Fever dream high in the quiet of the night. You know that I caught it."

“Bad bad girl shiny toy with a price. You know that I bought it.”

In one sentence, I'll tell you why Shen Juan is the male lead in the world.

The moment the prelude to the end of summer began and the entire audience joined in singing, it felt like the economy of Tokyo as a whole was reviving.

He represents not only the future of the music industry and Generation Z, but also economic recovery.

This is also a major reason why governments in Shanghai, Seoul, Singapore, and other places are willing to pay high prices to invite him to hold concerts.

Ordinary artists can only make a living through the industry.

Global superstars who break free from the rules and exceed the limits can revitalize the market and bring positive benefits to the entire industry.

After the song ended, the atmosphere at the Tokyo Dome was already boiling. Shen Juan raised the microphone and greeted everyone with a smile.

Good evening, everyone. I'm Shen Juan.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"

Many fans couldn't stand the decibel bombardment and started covering their ears while excitedly screaming.

Shen Juan raised an eyebrow and smiled. In the past two years, he had personally experienced far too many grand occasions and had long been accustomed to the feeling of the world focusing on this place.

So he continued in a relaxed tone:

"The Leviathan Era tour began in China this July, and has since traveled to the United States, Canada, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Mexico, and Brazil. And today, we have finally arrived in Japan, and we are finally meeting everyone in Tokyo in the late autumn!"

"It's been a long time coming, so everyone, I really have to say, it's been a long time."

"Aaaaaaaaaa!!!"

The atmosphere heated up again, reaching a new level of excitement, and another burst of near-hysterical screams erupted.

"Then, before the concert officially begins, I have a few words to say to everyone. I remember saying in a media interview last year that I want to produce an even better album, I want to get my first number one single, I want to hold a grand world tour, I want my parents and family to live a good life, and I want my fans to be proud of liking me."

“And now that I’ve accomplished all this, what about you?” Shen Juan took off his headset so he could hear the fans’ screams more clearly and feel the emotions inside the Tokyo Dome more accurately. “Have you all become better in your own worlds?”

“I know that many of my friends may not be in a good situation recently, and have encountered all sorts of difficulties and troubles. But the experience itself is neither good nor bad. It is in the process of solidifying civilization that we have given them labels of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ and marked them with levels.”

"I'm not saying that you have to go through darkness to welcome a bright future. I just want to tell my friends who are going through a dark and difficult time that when they are at their lowest point, they should look at the people and things that are shining."

"Today is cruel, tomorrow is crueler, and the day after tomorrow is beautiful, but most people die tomorrow night, so..." Shen Juan's gentle and pure smile, like the bright moonlight, was projected onto the giant screen behind him, "Are you ready to face your day after tomorrow?"

Many fans' most intense and desperate shouts and screams in their lives may occur at this very moment.

For many of them, there's no need to save their energy for the second half; they just want to unleash their full potential right now.

Even if you shout until your voice is hoarse, it doesn't matter.

Because they have found their own happiness.

Because they have found the source of power that can give them strength and lead them to a better future.
