Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 410 A Serendipitous Circumstances Lead to a Surge in Favorability

According to the Xuanhuang Calendar, it was the eleventh day of the Jia month in the year of Ji Hai.

Hai Qing, the ancient master craftswoman, descended from the Netherworld and erected a chaotic furnace at the Cadillac Center. She used film and television works as fuel and song tours as fire, pouring all her three thousand years of madness into the furnace and sacrificing her own face to condense a brilliant divine essence flowing with ancient runes.

In an instant, heaven and earth rejoiced, all spirits sang in unison, and amidst the tremors of space, the divine essence transformed into a stream of light and entered Shen Juan's spiritual platform, helping him become the second true god in the Chinese entertainment industry after Ou Hao, attracting the attention of keyboard warriors throughout history. This earth-shattering event of forging a god has since become an immortal legend that has been passed down through generations.

Man! What can I say?

Alex out!

With Shen Juan helping to share the firepower, Ou Hao was finally able to exclaim, "I am not alone on my path."

You were the one who caused the madness, but I was the one who lost the person.

WDNMD!

Shen Juan even suspected that Huang Lei, that old man, was deliberately working with his apprentice to mess with him in public.

After all, he had successfully made Huang Lei eat the braised pork intestines he made this year, so it's understandable that he would hold a grudge against him.

So he quickly took his leave, fearing that staying with this eccentric man would only embarrass him further.

However, to be fair, Haiqing's reaction just now was indeed a bit exaggerated, unlike that of a normal person with stable emotions.

But to some extent, it's understandable.

After all, Shen Juan is really popular among female celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry, and this statement applies to all age groups.

Those born after 00 see him as their spiritual support and role model, admiring and idolizing him, and loving him to no end.

This includes, but is not limited to, Xiao Hu, Xiao Shen, Bao Bao, and others.

The post-90s generation regards him as the best and most prestigious dating/running partner, and they fawn over him in every way.

Among them, Lao Song is the most representative. The saying that "Shen Juanqi is very good in bed" circulated in the industry originated from her.

Those born in the 80s highly value and love his radiant youthful spirit, which is very rare in the Chinese entertainment industry.

That's too many to list. Whether married or unmarried, people of a certain age generally prefer strong and healthy young men.

As for the older generations born in the 70s and 60s, they treat him as a junior or a son, after all, Shen Juan is very likable.

Although it's unclear why a famously avid fish-lover could possess such sincere and clear eyes, at their age, the truth is no longer important. Rather than seeking the truth, they care more about the current situation and their actual feelings.

Therefore, a man like Shen Juan, whose romantic history is as black as coal, yet whose eyes and temperament are as pure as moonlight, and who also possesses top-tier looks and a career that can be described as a game-changer in the entire entertainment industry, creates an extreme sense of contrast that makes them infatuated and willingly fall into his trap.

Many female celebrities, such as Yang Mi, Yang Ying, Zhang Jiani, and Zhang Yuqi, have declared themselves to be fans of Shen Juan.

Some people do this to gain attention and traffic.

Some people are simply lusting after Shen Juan's body.

Some people are simply following the trend, acting as if everyone around them is saying it, and if they don't, they'll be considered out of place.

So he ended up having a group of older women constantly messaging him on WeChat, showering him with concern and even flirting with him.

For example, Yang Mi, an actress born in 85 who openly lusts after him, has sent him at least four or five hundred "goodnight" messages in the past two years.

For example, Yang Ying, who is looking for an opportunity to divorce the cult leader and divide the property, has been trying to get close to Shen Juan during this period.

Although I initially enjoyed being the center of attention, it eventually became annoying.

After spending some time wandering around and resetting his watchlist, Shen Juan made a surprise return to Xiao Xiao and the others.

"Juanjuan, do you think we should call you a god now, or should we call you Haiqing's trap?" Cheng Xiao's eyes were full of mischief, and he couldn't help but laugh and tease, "So what exactly did you do to make Haiqing act like it's drunk fake alcohol? That's what I'm more curious about now."

Girl, are you cosplaying Chitanda?

"It's okay, Juanjuan, you're my god too!" Zhou Ye, as always, played the role of a hand warmer, comforting Shen Juan, who was rolling her eyes at Cheng Xiao, with a smile.

But Shen Juan clearly remembered that when Hai Qing knelt down on one knee and placed her on a pedestal, surrounded by a crowd, she was the one in BIG3 who was the happiest and most delighted.

"Someone must be secretly thrilled right now, having a famous actress kneel down and call you a god in front of so many people." Tian Xiwei pouted smugly, suppressing a laugh as she teased, "I remember someone saying before that they loved the feeling of being the center of attention on stage, and look! This is it! Haiqing has already set up the stage for you, and we are all your audience, so Juan Gou, are you getting all cocky now?"

"Sister Tian, ​​can you stop judging others by your own standards?" Shen Juan rolled her eyes again, but then, as if suddenly remembering something, she covered her mouth with her hand, lowered her voice slightly, and leaned closer to Tian Xiwei, laughing as she said, "Besides, I don't have one. But you seem to have worn a dog tail more than once, right?"

"That's not a dog's tail, it's a fox's tail! And," Sister Tian blushed instantly, explaining in a flustered tone, "if you hadn't suddenly made a request halfway through, putting me in a difficult position, how could I have worn such a shameful thing to please you? Besides, haven't they all worn them before?"

"This is your private matter, don't drag us into it~" Zhou Ye said, keeping Cheng Xiao out of the way.

"You two are real bastards!"

"Aidingbao!"

Sister Tian scoffed, "You talk as if you don't like it! If you're so capable, then don't try to steal my food tonight!"

He was clearly smiling.

Yeah. The kind of forced smile.

But the explicit words he uttered were so offensive that even Shen Juan, one of the parties involved, couldn't stand them anymore; they were truly violent!

"Foolish woman!" Zhou Ye found it hard to keep his composure.

"I'm just following my heart!"

"It's really lively over there with Shen Juan!" Bai Lu, who has gained some fame this year, exclaimed as he looked at Shen Juan's side from afar.

Her colleague Xu Kai glanced in that direction and said, "He's so popular now, it would be strange if he wasn't surrounded by people. By the way, didn't you know him a long time ago? Why don't you go over and say hello? If I had such an awesome friend, I'd want everyone to know."

"Um, forget it. That was a long time ago. We weren't even in the industry back then. And we haven't been in touch for so long, he might have forgotten about me. After all, we weren't that close friends to begin with, so I shouldn't bother him."

Bai Lu is very self-aware.

The idea of ​​taking shortcuts by clinging to powerful figures certainly exists.

But she knew that wasn't very realistic.

Moreover, the salary for a single film now is several million, which is many times higher than the income I earned as a model!
So let's just focus on making movies and TV shows, instead of wasting our energy and energy on goals that are impossible to achieve.

The awards ceremony is about to begin, and the celebrity guests in the venue are being led to their seats by staff.

As the undisputed face of this year's Scream Night, Shen Juan's seat tonight was naturally arranged by iQiyi in the most conspicuous first row. This is not only a direct symbol of his status in the entertainment industry, but also makes it convenient for the media to take photos and post articles, further expanding the influence of Scream Night and Shen Juan personally.

This thing is actually just like the seating arrangement at a fashion show; those who can sit next to the absolute center of attention are naturally the core executives.

So sitting to Shen Juan's left is Jiang Bin, Vice President of iQiyi and General Manager of Program Development Center, and to his right is another Vice President and Program Producer, Pang Hu Che Che, who has collaborated with Shen Juan several times before (The Rap of China and The Fashion Partners) and with whom he has a fairly good personal relationship.

"I heard that five contestants from Starlink have signed up for next year's 'Youth With You 2'?" Jiang Bin asked curiously.

"Actually, we split into two groups. Not only Youth With You 2, but we also sent people to Tencent's Produce Camp next year."

"Oh? How are the trainees in your company? How do they compare to the girl groups produced by 'Produce 101'?"

For the past two years, TaoChang has focused on boy groups, so we can only compare them to Rocket Girls from the other side of the coin.

"Pretty good." Shen Juan had a lot of confidence in the basic skills of Liu Yuxin, Kong Xueer, Jin Zihan, and Liu Lingzi.

And this includes those sent to Tencent, such as Liu Xiening, Jiang Zhenyu, Shen Xiaoting, Lana, and Sun Zhenni.
At least in China, their professional skills as singing and dancing idols are more than enough to surpass Rocket Girls.

As for Xiao Hu?

It's all about participation.

Anyway, she never intended to debut.

Therefore, Shen Juan would not spend money to buy her a debut spot.

Just showing your face on a show, making a bit of a presence, indulging in your idol fantasies, and you can go home satisfied.

This is Xiao Hu's simple wish.

"Then I'll wait and see."

Jiang Bin smiled and didn't say anything more.

His thoughts are very simple now.

That is to give Starlink trainees preferential treatment, try to get more of them to debut, and strengthen their connection with Starlink.

In fact, they had been studying Shen Juan privately, sharing their insights and reflections on everything from his career development to his interpersonal skills.

Then the following conclusion was reached.
Although, in theory, a playboy who frequents brothels shouldn't have much of a sense of responsibility, Shen Juan is quite different.

He is truly one of those rare types.
The type who never gives up.

There seems to be no rumor that he kicked an ordinary person or female celebrity aside and cut off all contact with them.

Therefore, this also points out a clear path for major capital players in the Chinese entertainment industry who want to "win over" Shen Juan and gain his favor.

It doesn't matter if Shen Juan is unresponsive to both soft and hard approaches.

We can change our approach and take a roundabout way of doing things, by directly feeding resources to the artists in his company and his group of girlfriends!
If we can get his girlfriends on our side, Shen Juan will give us some face, and it will be much easier to do things with his influence in the future.

Once a person has something to worry about, they become more vulnerable to being targeted.

Of course, Shen Juan wouldn't care even if he knew about this.

After all, he was the one who led the relationship.

This means he can give face if he wants, and not give it if he doesn't. He can simply accept the sweet talk and return the whole thing intact. After discussing kiwifruit's future plans and development strategies in Southeast Asia, the two stopped talking.

Because the opening performance has begun.

It was just an ordinary boy band performance.

Shen Juan gave a perfunctory clapping.

A stage at a kindergarten level is not worthy of evaluation.

Then came the awards ceremony.

Shen Juan won two awards tonight.

First, there's the annual drama king, which is linked to the performance of the work.

Amidst thunderous cheers from the audience, Shen Juan smiled as he accepted the honor from the award presenter.

Looking down at the trophy in his hand, the crystal refracted a delicate light under the lights on the ceiling of the venue.

It's not heavy enough, nor bright enough.

But it is ultimately an honor.

"First of all, I must thank iQiyi for its recognition. The first program I participated in after returning to China was iQiyi's 'The Rap of China.' You gave me such a great opportunity to step in front of the public, showcase my abilities, and gain so much support and love, allowing me to realize my dream."

Shen Juan's gaze swept over Jiang Bin, Che Che, and his colleagues who had worked with him in the front row.

"Then I would like to thank every cast and crew member of the 'Go Go Squid!' production team, and every working partner in front of and behind the camera. It is you who used your professionalism and passion to build a world that allows the characters to breathe. Although this drama is incredibly popular, the glory of Han Shangyan has never belonged to me alone."

Shen Juan then looked at the stands, which had already turned into a sea of ​​red, and it seemed that everyone was shining for him.

"Of course, I want to thank my fans and viewers the most. You have changed my life."

Suddenly, even louder shouts and screams erupted at the scene, and the entire live stream room erupted in a frenzy of chatter. Shen Juan smiled in the direction of the red sea. If these words could make these fans who silently gave their all without expecting anything in return feel happy, then he was willing to keep saying them.

Whether it's pampering fans or pandering to them, it's all the same.

Ultimately, he belongs to the category of the one who receives love.

He won't take any of this for granted.

"The quality of a work is determined by many factors, and actors only account for a part of them. So rather than saying that this trophy belongs to me, it is more appropriate to say that this trophy belongs to everyone who has stayed up all night on set and repeatedly polished the script, and to everyone who is willing to work hard and believe in perseverance."

The audience erupted in even louder applause and cheers, with almost everyone standing up to applaud Shen Juan.

Whether his acceptance speech was brilliant or not, and whether it earned their approval, is another matter. All they know is that if they don't stand up and give Shen Juan the respect he deserves, they're doomed.

After all, the live broadcast camera is pointed here. If someone dares to put on airs in front of Shen Juan, and happens to be caught by his fans, what would happen?

Then just wait to be cyberbullied by them!

Very few people in the entertainment industry have a clean record.

Both Shen Juan himself and his fans are experts in philanthropy, and they don't think that a man who can even get involved in philanthropy across the ocean would be intimidated by them.

That's why they dared not offend Shen Juan.

It can only be said that people in this circle value their reputation very much.

Clearly, few people are willing to ruin their reputation in their later years.

Next up is the most important award of the Scream Night, which is directly related to personal influence—the Scream Male God of the Year.

As expected, Shen Juan went on stage again.

Standing in front of the microphone, he cleared his throat: "I am well aware of the heavy responsibility behind the influence. This is not only an acknowledgment of past achievements, but also an encouragement for continuous breakthroughs in the future. I will turn this encouragement into the motivation to move forward and respond to everyone's expectations with better works."

"Finally, thank you to everyone who supports me and believes in me. Your applause and cheers are my eternal starlight."

At 11 p.m., the Scream Night came to a close.

After spending some time socializing, Shen Juan was finally able to leave the Cadillac Center.

On his way home, Shen Juan kept an eye on Weibo's trending topics and funny news sent to him by his friends on his phone.

#Shen Juan, the Screaming Male God#
The main keywords, which are directly linked to an individual's popularity and the gala's influence, naturally bought the top spot.

However, Shen Juan won this award last year, and how could the world's number one male lead care about a pork award?

So Xiaochunjuan only did a token amount of data analysis before eagerly running off to other topics to follow the gossip.

#Shen Juan, Tian Xiwei, Cheng Xiao, Zhou Ye#
The scene of the four of them "chatting happily" before the start of the party was indeed captured by fans at the scene.

However, thanks to their excellent facial expressions, no one knew that they were actually talking about selling Coca-Cola.

Otherwise, it's really hard to imagine what level of "slut-shaming" Tian Jie, who already had a bad relationship with the fan community, would suffer.

In addition, fans who were keeping a close eye on the "Sanlitun Three Sisters" noticed that when Shen Juan was giving his acceptance speech on stage, all three of them spontaneously raised their phones to film him, especially the smiles that unconsciously appeared on their faces. You can only say you love them too much.

Fans of the three couples are so overwhelmed by the sweetness that they feel that living a good life is more important than anything else!

#Shen Juan and Xiao Zhan, top beauties in Chinese entertainment industry, appear together in the same frame#
Shen Juan knew that after returning to the domestic entertainment industry, these newly popular celebrities, who were like "monkeys dominating the mountain when the tiger is not on the mountain," would not be able to resist trying to piggyback on his fame or to test his own worth.

But it doesn’t matter.

Because Little Spring Roll will teach Peter Pan a lesson.

For example, right now, they've ravaged Xiao Zhan Square, which is covered with photos of Xiao Zhan before she had plastic surgery.

Want to tie Shen Juan down?
Then be prepared to be skinned alive.

It can only be said that if you want to gain a foothold in the Chinese entertainment industry, you must learn to cower and play dead in front of Shen Juan and his little spring rolls.

Teacher Shen taught Xiao Zhan a lesson this time, letting him and his fans know who really calls the shots in the Chinese entertainment industry now.

And next, it's the neck's turn.

Hopefully, Little Motorcycle won't give Little Spring Roll a chance.

#Shen Juan, you are my god#
This woman shouted so loudly, and with so many audience members present, it was inevitably filmed and uploaded online.

But it was Hai Qing who was acting crazy, so why is my name trending on social media? Just because I'm the world's number one male lead?
I read the comments.

[Hahahaha, who the hell edited this Baidu Baike entry? It's absolutely unbelievable, hahaha!]

I've already dug my toes into the ground for Shen Juan.

There is reason to suspect that Huang Lei instigated this, because Shen Juan had previously made him eat snow stuck in pig intestines on a TV show.

[Shen Juan's inner monologue: My buddy's been a sensation overseas. I thought returning to the Chinese entertainment industry would be a natural path to godhood, but I never expected that one shout from me would send me straight to the altar. Although this position was rightfully mine, it still feels a bit embarrassing and strange. So, becoming a god is this easy now?]

From "Ou Hao, you are my god" six years ago to "Shen Juan, you are my god" today, only the names have changed; the blood-pumping DNA of idol worship remains the same! I suggest the iQiyi Scream Night award Hai Qing the "Best Fan Award" or the "God-like Certification Award," highlighting her performance with a close-up, powerful display!

[The most hilarious part was when Cheng Xiaotian, Zhou Ye, and the other two were hugging each other and laughing like crazy in the corner! Their reaction to seeing their boyfriends make a fool of themselves is totally me, hahaha! I used to think they couldn't possibly get along, but I didn't expect Shen Juan to train them so well. I really want to join this big family!]

Teacher Haiqing taught us a lesson: idol worship is like playing a game; who cares if your idol is worried or not, as long as you're having fun, that's the only truth! Wajuan also taught us a lesson: no matter how amazing your achievements are, no matter how high your position, as long as you're human, there will always be moments of vulnerability.

Hengheng must be very pleased to see this. Finally, someone has avenged him, and Shen Juan has also died.

Why was it so awkward? I think the problem lies with Shen Juan. This artist, so skilled at posing for photos and creating stunning images, was actually stunned and frozen in place? I think he should have struck five different poses to match the rhythm of those five words to maximize the show's impact.

[Nazha: Shen Juan, you are my god!!! Hahaha, I was laughing at Nazha for being poor these past few days, but I didn't expect Shen Juan to create an even funnier scene as soon as he returned to China, suppressing the popularity of "poor haha". Shen Juan, you are really something. No wonder Nazha loves you so much, there is a reason for everything.]

[I think this trending topic should be renamed #ChineseEntertainmentGodsInheritanceCeremony#, and I suggest the Chinese entertainment industry award our teacher Haiqing a "God's Pusher" certification. Next time, on the red carpet, just have her bestow divine titles upon each celebrity! The live stream viewership would absolutely explode, hahaha!]

Damn, speechless.
Thankfully it wasn't a live broadcast like Super Boy, otherwise Shen Juan's embarrassment would probably have been even more explosive!
Then I received a video call from Nazha.

Pressing the green answer button, a delicate and beautiful face with exotic charm immediately appeared on the phone screen.

"Shen Juan, how can you be so good to me! These past two days, the whole internet has been making fun of my English pronunciation. I didn't even dare to watch the ridiculous videos they made. It was so embarrassing and upsetting. And then you came back and created such a huge mess! You completely overshadowed the whole thing that happened!"

As Naza spoke, she leaned closer to the camera, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes looked moist.

"So I hereby declare that you are not only my savior! But also my most beloved, most adored, and super-loved husband!"

Before she could finish speaking, Naza had already impatiently sat up in bed, propped her phone on her lap, and pointed the camera at her upper body with a shaky motion. Then, under Shen Juan's gaze, she took off her silk pajamas and made a half-heart gesture in front of the bear to show him.

"I absolutely love you, Juanbao! I love you, I love you, I love you! I will never forget the emotions you brought me!"

"Mua! Mua! Mua! Mua~"

Upon seeing this scene, Shen Juan fell silent.

It wasn't because I was aroused by Nazha's fever.

It was because he suddenly discovered that being "granted divinity by Haiqing" wasn't as bad as he had imagined.

It's embarrassing, but it's also incredibly embarrassing.

But at least by some twist of fate, it helped him raise Naza's favorability and unlocked CGs he hadn't seen before, right?
So this matter does have some benefits, more or less.

People need to learn to find joy even in hardship.
