Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 452 Personally Controlling the Fan War
It's almost the end of March.

After a brief adjustment period, and having established a fairly good working rapport, the Little Red Flower crew officially got back on track.

After spending these few days together on set, Shen Juan felt that Liu Haocun was indeed very talented in acting.

No wonder Zhang Yimou cherishes her so much and praises her so highly.

Despite being limited by factors such as age, perspective, and social experience, he cannot be as versatile as experienced veteran actors.

The handling of details in many places was not very mature, and she had not personally experienced many emotions in real life, so she could not present them well in front of the camera. This required the director to patiently explain the scene to her again and again so that he could bring her into the emotions and performance rhythm that the character should have.

(Shen Juan also has the same problem; he cannot portray the emotions of a character beyond his own experience. This is like how many men have erotic dreams when they are young, but the dream suddenly stops at the crucial moment because they lack key information in their minds and cannot imagine the real feelings and scenes.)
But within her control
I have to say, they really have some skills.

She has a natural talent for acting!
Both Sister Tian and Xiao Ye possess spirituality.

It can only be said that acting really does require talent.

If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't work.

Without talent, no matter how hard you try, you can only become an excellent actor at best, never a top-tier actor.

But it doesn’t matter.

In any case, in this era where commercial value reigns supreme, actors are no longer as valuable or prestigious as they were ten years ago.

So it's fine to just be a celebrity.

Actors, singers, and idols are all celebrities in the final analysis.

The term "celebrity" has never been a derogatory term.

Moreover, knowing how to be a good celebrity is also a skill.

Qingdao is having another sunny and breezy day. Yangyang Jin and Shen Juan chatted about work on their way to the film set.

"We received news from Hunan TV that the second recording of 'Back to Field' has been scheduled for April 13th to 16th. They plan to reduce the number of recording sessions, so the recording time for each session will be increased. And according to your wishes, Angelina Jolie and Dasha Taran have been added as guest stars."

Shen Juan had heard that Hunan TV planned to invite Viya, the currently popular live-streaming e-commerce host, to the show, so he simply took this opportunity to arrange for his own internet celebrities to come as well. Even if he didn't want the Russian sisters to enter the industry, just getting them involved would be very beneficial to their future development.

After all, there are limits to how celebrities and internet influencers can compete.

Internet celebrities who have acquired a celebrity aura are indeed quite impressive.

Moreover, the Lafite route ultimately has its limits.

Angelina and Dasha Taran have completely monopolized the traffic on this route through their efforts over the past year.

If you want to go further and become a top influencer, you definitely need to step out of your comfort zone and try more possibilities.

"Yangyang, do you think there's a problem with doing this?" Shen Juan asked casually while peeling an egg.

“I think it’s fine. After all, in this era of internet traffic, the boundary between celebrities and internet celebrities is quite blurred. Their paths to fame and their social roles are very similar. The only difference is that internet celebrities don’t have the resources to develop in the entertainment industry. Anyway, in my opinion, perhaps more and more internet celebrities will enter the entertainment industry in the future, and celebrities who are not doing well in the entertainment industry may also go to become internet celebrities. As the scale of the entertainment industry gradually expands, the threshold for entering the industry will become lower and lower.”

“Indeed.” Shen Juan nodded thoughtfully.

He genuinely agreed with what Yangyang Jin said.

Celebrities are indeed much more sophisticated than internet celebrities.

But that doesn't mean all celebrities are more sophisticated than internet celebrities.

However, he is currently considering other things.

Since Starlink has already opened branches in Japan and South Korea and started recruiting and training new generation musicians, gravure idols, and singing and dancing idols, should it also set up one in Southeast Asia? If it wants to extend its influence globally, should it also establish branches in Europe and America to cultivate some potential internet celebrities?

For example, Speed, who has now dropped out of school and started a full-time YouTube streaming career, but is currently ignored.

Shen Juan felt that it was very worthwhile to sign him.

We can have him do a live stream using the "Sunshine Rainbow Little White Horse" meme; that might make him famous even faster.

"Another thing is that Tencent sent an invitation to you to be the opening guest of this year's 'Please Take Care of My Refrigerator.' They said that regular guest Wang Jiaer is temporarily unable to participate in the recording due to loyalty, so they found Zhou Ye to fill in for two days, which is episodes one to four. It's like they're trying to get you to do a bundled deal."

Shen Juan nodded to indicate that he understood: "Teacher He also talked to me about this on the phone yesterday. If there are no problems, then accept the call."

On the one hand, Shen Juan doesn't mind leeching off his girlfriend to help alleviate poverty, and he doesn't think it's leeching off poverty.

In his view, this was clearly Tencent paying them to have a paid opportunity to appear on a TV show and show off their affection.

On the other hand, Shen Juan found the show "Go Fridge" very easy to film. He had come to the show two years ago and had a pretty good experience. He also got to know Li Yitong through the show. So he wasn't opposed to opening the refrigerator again and letting the audience know what was in his refrigerator two years later.

As Shen Juan spoke, he stuffed the whole peeled egg into his mouth. His cheeks puffed out like a hamster, making Yangyang Jin want to pinch him. Perhaps it was because beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but she thought Shen Juan was extremely cute! He had a kind of adorable charm that was rarely seen in her.

However, she always adhered to the principle of being single-minded when working, and she didn't want to show her desire in front of Shen Juan, so Yangyang Jin forcibly suppressed the strange emotions in her heart and continued, "Okay, the time is set for the 11th, and the location is Wuxi."

"So, after we finish filming 'Go Fridge' in Wuxi, we have to immediately go to Xishuangbanna to film 'Back to Field' for four days? That'll probably require a week's leave, right?" Shen Juan asked.

"Yes, several supporting actors will be joining the crew soon, so the crew will focus on filming their scenes during this period."

"Okay, is there anything else?"

"And then there's the job arrangement for your girlfriends." Yangyang Jin's tone instantly turned much colder.

You kissed me so proactively on the plane, saying you were used to having me by your side and to my presence. For over a month, I kept reliving the taste of that kiss. Sometimes, when I felt lonely in the quiet of the night, I would even think of you and make mistakes.

As a result, after the quarantine ended, they immediately reverted to their original behavior, at most just being a little more affectionate in their daily interactions.
How many times are you going to pull me down, how long are you going to keep using PUA on me, before you finally throw me the ball straight again!
"Okay, go ahead and say it." Although Shen Juan felt a little embarrassed, his face remained calm.

Yangyang Jin swiped on the tablet expressionlessly and found the information: "In addition to filling in for four episodes of 'Please Take Care of My Refrigerator,' Zhou Ye has also received an invitation from Taobao's dating variety show 'I Like You Too 2.' They want her to become a dating observer, that is, a regular guest who watches ordinary people date."

"Besides her, the other regular guests are Zhang Shaogang, Sha Yi, Gulnazar, Sun Yizhou, and Li Wenhan."

"Gulnazar is here too?"

Yangyang Jin looked at Shen Juan with a half-smile and teased, "What? Are you worried that the two of them will fight?"

Shen Juan smiled and said, "It's not that bad."

Shen Juan might have been worried if it were Sister Tian, ​​but Xiao Ye was clearly not the type to pull someone's hair.

This is what a happy puppy is like.

In general, she will not take the initiative to attack or invade other people's territory; she will only passively defend and counterattack.

Perhaps only in front of her "good sister" Sister Tian would she uncharacteristically show her aggressive side.

"Then what are you surprised about?"

"I'm not surprised. I just suddenly realized that they might have more and more opportunities to meet in the future."

Shen Juan shrugged. As the scale and size of the fishpond gradually expanded, more and more players entered the Sister-in-Law Alliance through the draft and free market. Naturally, the frequency of encounters and the intensity of competition between the teams also increased significantly. Such accidental encounters were obviously not surprising.

Moreover, this is still in its early stages, and most of the players in the league are freshmen who have just turned 18 and entered college.

Therefore, as time goes on, this chaotic phenomenon of disrupting and reorganizing the original team framework will only intensify. Perhaps in a few years, the influence of the "Sister-in-Law Alliance" or "Wajuan Fish Pond" will cover most of the new generation of Chinese entertainment.

That may be the time when fishponds truly flourish.

Yangyang Jin rolled her eyes, too lazy to talk about this topic that made her feel uncomfortable and jealous, and continued to report on her work: "Cheng Xiao will continue to be a regular on Running Man this year, and filming is scheduled to start in late April. Then, Hunan TV's Chinese Restaurant will be filmed in China this summer, and Cheng Xiao's contract has already been signed."

Xiao Xiao was a regular cast member on "Dear Inn 2" and has always had a pretty good relationship with Hunan TV.

However, due to the program's restructuring in the third season, which took a more dramatic approach, he did not continue as a regular cast member.

Therefore, Cheng Xiao is one of the candidates for the Chinese Restaurant to find a new permanent guest.

Of course, another very important reason is that once Cheng Xiao is permanently stationed there, there is a high probability that Shen Juan will be able to fly there.

This has become a consensus among major platforms in the Chinese entertainment industry.

That's right, Shen Juan doesn't appear on variety shows very often.

The higher the celebrity's status, the lower the cost-effectiveness of appearing on variety shows.

But his girlfriend has to appear on variety shows, right?

If we promote variety show opportunities to his girlfriend, wouldn't that be laying a solid foundation for inviting Shen Juan in advance?

This is why Sister Tian and Xiao Xiao, who like or are not opposed to appearing on reality shows, have received a lot of benefits and resources.

Especially Xiao Xiao.

The high exposure from Running Man, coupled with the album "Confession of Love," which combines representative works from many idols in the Chinese entertainment industry, and decent business and fashion resources, has enabled her to successfully become a 951 singer and dancer at this stage.

Perhaps as the Chinese entertainment industry enters the era of loyalty and affection, and traffic stars begin to gradually gain momentum, Xiao Xiao's leading advantage will gradually weaken due to her relationship issues and not acting.

But at least for now.

In an era where most actresses born in the 95s are still relatively unknown, she has successfully accumulated her first wave of online traffic.

After discussing work, Shen Juan used the last bit of time he had before arriving at the film set to browse today's news on his phone.

The hashtag #GlobalAgainstIsraelBenefitPerformanceDonations# topped the trending search list.

Click in and take a look.

The accompanying image is a long picture of online donation receipts and handwritten blessings from fans, ending with the message: "Thank you, Teacher Shen Juan, for giving my brother the opportunity to participate in the charity performance. A top-tier idol deserves top-tier resources! We're all family, Eason and Spring Roll! Wishing Teacher Shen Juan's new album great success! May Teacher Shen Juan and Kun Kun's friendship last forever!"

Shen Juan was starting to lose control.

It can only be said that IQIAN is indeed very good at judging the situation.

So the shell also joined the battle.

how to say?

Shen Juan's original intention was indeed to unite the world.

His attitude towards public welfare and charity has always been pure.

I never deliberately market or create buzz to glorify myself.

However, Shen Juan will not express any opinion on this matter in public, nor will he pour oil on his friend.

After all, Kun Kun hadn't offended him, and they had known each other since they were both nobody, having known each other for 15 years.

Naturally, I wouldn't kick a friend when they're down.

Meanwhile, rival fans, posing as passersby, also took screenshots and reposted them, using the chaos to humiliate [them].

Seeing the intensity of the conflict, Wang Jiaer's fans didn't dare to provoke these big shots at all. They could only hide in a corner, trembling and whispering, and like their idol, they went out during off-peak hours.

As a result, Chris's fans came out and started criticizing him again.

In other words, Shen Juan's sudden emergence has had a tremendous impact on the entire domestic entertainment industry.

He will pave a completely new path for everyone.

But at the same time, it will also make many old roads no longer passable.

This made many conservatives dissatisfied with him, and they didn't want him to have a monopoly and bring about innovation to the entire entertainment industry.

Therefore, Shen Juan's reputation was not very good at the time.

Many financial forces manipulate public opinion to smear and suppress him, trying to force him to return to China to stabilize his base due to domestic public opinion pressure, delay or even abandon his overseas development path, or simply take this opportunity to drive him overseas and make him stop thinking about the domestic market.

We don't care how popular or famous you are overseas, just don't come to the Chinese entertainment industry to make a living!
Unexpectedly, Shen Juan's rise to fame was incredibly fast. After establishing himself in North America with AS1, he immediately returned to China to consolidate his position and lay low for a while, building a larger base in East Asia. Then, with the even more explosive commercial success of AS2 and subsequent world tour, he earned the title of "World's Number One Male Performer".

It can only be said that their rise to fame was extremely sudden.

Such a rapid rise to fame is impossible to counter.

Unless they also possess future memories, they can cut off all of Shen Juan's resources before he gains power.

But such a situation is obviously impossible.

I put down my phone, leaned back in my chair, and stretched.

He suddenly remembered the scene when MJ invited many superstars to organize "We Are The World".

Philanthropy is not just a simple act of kindness, but a responsibility for public figures to use their influence to give back to society.

MJ has become a benchmark of an era.

As a descendant decades later, he only needs to stand on the shoulders of giants and forge his own path.

The chessboard is now set up, and the pieces are in place.

This group of so-called top celebrities attacked each other within the framework of rules he set himself, using the contributions of their fans to build a facade of "social responsibility," and trying to gain a good reputation for themselves through charity. However, they did not realize that the biggest beneficiary of this charity performance, apart from the protesters, was only one person from beginning to end.

When more than a hundred well-known singers and artists from all over the world, of different nationalities and skin colors, performed together on the stage he initiated for the same goal, when his former rivals willingly bowed down in submission, and when the WHO website labeled him a "new era music leader" after his name.
The noise and commotion that only occurred within the fan community became nothing more than the symphony played to crown him.

So he picked up his phone again and posted an Instagram message.

The accompanying image is a poster for a charity performance.

The copy is only two simple sentences:
[April 4th, 8 hours, global synchronization.]

Thank you for every act of kindness that transcends borders.

Simple words contain immense power.

Shen Juan is improving himself in every way he can think of, and in the process of imitating and getting closer to the legend, he is gradually perfecting himself and finding his true self, so as to become a true Gen Z youth leader recognized by the world.
