Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 461 They actually got "Sister-in-law 202" done!

4 month 16 number.

Countless people around the world watched the trailer for the documentary "Mr. China" through various channels, and were drawn in by Shen Juan's spirited demeanor and the viewpoints he presented, which sparked their interest in watching the entire film.

Frankly, fans are already extremely satisfied with the naming of this personal documentary.

As the globally renowned action comedy veteran Cheng grows old, Shen Juan, who has taken over the torch of the times and enjoys widespread fame and influence worldwide, has become the face of the nation in the new era, gaining recognition from relevant departments and the admiration of many.

Mr. China.

This concise statement summarizes Shen Juan's current achievements, which are enough to represent the face of the entire country!
At least most foreigners, especially Gen Z young people, agree with this view. They even believe that Shen Juan is not only the pride of China, but also a treasure of Asia and even the world. He has brought extremely valuable spiritual and material wealth to many people with his music and attitude!
He and Billie Eilish are like two extremes.

One teaches people to rebel and pursue their own path.

It teaches people how to love themselves, how to love others, and how to embrace this not-so-beautiful, cruel world.

Unfortunately, not everyone thinks that way.

Especially those who genuinely hate, resist, and reject Shen Juan domestically, as well as those who have been successfully brainwashed by external forces.

This quickly sparked heated online discussions about personal achievements versus national image, and the roles of representatives and those being represented.

Supporters believe that the naming of "Mr. Huaguo" is an important recognition of Shen Juan himself and Chinese popular culture.

Shen Juan single-handedly shattered the negative image maliciously created by numerous foreign media outlets, greatly improving China's international image.

His current actions are highly consistent with the title "Mr. Huaguo".

This title elevates Shen Juan's personal achievements to a significant symbol of the soft power of Chinese culture.

This is highly beneficial to both his personal authority and Guo Jia's strategic deployment.

However, opponents believe this is a conspiracy by the United States.

A singer who becomes a global sensation with English songs is not qualified to represent the Chinese people!

They even claimed that this was a deliberate move by Lao Mei, with the aim of subtly expanding her influence across the Asia-Pacific region through Shen Juan, whose representative works are all in English!
Some older netizens who are not very receptive to new information believe that Shen Juan is not even as good as Jay Chou!

They felt that Shen Juan chose to embrace Western pop culture, while Jay Chou said, "Chinese pop culture is the coolest."

Who truly loves their country? Who is just making a living off their country's patriotism?

It's obvious at a glance; the difference in quality is immediately apparent!

What makes a K-pop trainee who rose to fame through talent shows and flaunted his looks, became a sensation by swearing in hip-hop, and then swept the globe with his English songs, represent China and is called Mr. China? What aspect of him is connected to our Chinese traditions?

Who awarded him the title of World's Best Male Character?

Who recognized it?

I absolutely disagree!

This is completely a mess by the Americans!
Mr. China, indeed.
Shen Juan is worthy?
By what right do Americans represent us Chinese?

(Media: Regardless, Shen Juan is universally recognized as the world's number one male singer. Chris: Who universally recognizes him?)

At the same time, many fans have raised questions.

They felt that Netflix's naming of Shen Juan's personal documentary "Mr. China" not only forcibly linked Shen Juan to the government, but also swallowed up Shen Juan's personal contributions and efforts by the national narrative. This would force him to be coerced by the will of the state and greatly weaken his personal influence.

Moreover, Netflix just released "Miss America" ​​for Taylor Swift in January of this year, and now it plans to release "Mr. China" for Shen Juan. Is it trying to create a confrontation between the east and west sides of the Pacific Ocean, like Billie Eilish paired with Shen Juan and calling them the two prodigies of Generation Z, so that they can compete against each other from afar?
Fans clearly prefer to let their idol shine alone.

Instead of getting involved with other people.

Especially given that Shen Juan has become the undisputed number one male singer in the world, setting him apart from other singers of the same period.

In addition, many netizens have discussed whether Shen Juan or Cheng Long is better able to represent China.

The comparison between the strongest in Chinese entertainment history and the strongest in modern times is bound to involve various levels of comparison and disparagement.

To be honest, there's no comparison at all.

Although Jackie Chan excelled in his field, becoming a Hollywood A-list star at his peak and greatly influencing the Hollywood action film model, Shen Juan was unique, at least at this stage, the undisputed only one!

In terms of works alone, Jackie Chan's films at best topped the box office in China and Asia, and were only considered decent in North America or globally during the same period. However, Shen Juan also changed the distribution model of the streaming era, securing more benefits for musicians of the same period by fighting for copyrights. Moreover, his album and single sales and streaming achievements were undisputed number one during the same period and even throughout the entire streaming era! I don't need to elaborate on how popular Blind Light was overseas. It's really not easy to see Chinese names on those charts.

Moreover, movie stars are inherently at a disadvantage in terms of earning power compared to singers. Jackie Chan has been in the industry for nearly fifty years, and his total film box office is less than 10 billion yuan, while Shen Juan has earned more than 4 billion yuan from just two films, plus a global tour that grossed over 1 billion US dollars, and he topped the Forbes Global Celebrity List.
Therefore, Shen Juan undoubtedly surpasses Cheng Long in terms of business achievements, and he also possesses unlimited potential for development.

This means that Jackie Chan's influence has reached its peak, and his historical status is now definitively established, but Shen Juan still has unlimited potential; he can only achieve more than Jackie Chan.

To be fair, if we're comparing global fame, Jackie Chan easily surpasses Shen Juan. After all, fame is mainly built up over time; the longer you've been in the industry, the higher your fame. It's a competition of total reach. But if we're comparing peak career achievements, Jackie Chan clearly can't compete with Shen Juan.

[Let me put it this way: The top ten T0 pop stars of this era include Michael Jackson, Madonna, Michael Jordan, Charlie Chaplin, Marilyn Monroe, The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Muhammad Ali, and Bruce Lee. Jackie Chan is currently roughly in the same T1 level as Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, while Shen Juan is probably in the lower T2, on par with new-era artists like Taylor Swift. However, barring any unforeseen circumstances, once he gets older and accumulates enough fame, entering T1 shouldn't be too difficult. As for T0? That depends on timing, location, and personal connections.]

In terms of fame, Jackie Chan is undoubtedly superior; his movies are even watched in Africa. However, in terms of status, Jackie Chan falls short. Shen Juan is currently the number one figure in the global pop music scene, and may not even have reached his peak yet. While Jackie Chan at his peak was considered A-list in Hollywood, he was still far from being a top-tier movie star. In short, Jackie Chan is far more influential abroad than many people in China imagine! But the same is true for Shen Juan, who may even be more influential than Jackie Chan in certain areas!

[20th Century: If you disliked a celebrity, comparing them to Michael Jackson would have been disastrous; 21st Century: If you disliked a celebrity, comparing them to Shen Juan would have been disastrous. So please, stop with this 'comparing Guan Yu to Qin Qiong' scenario. I don't want to see Uncle Long (Jackson Lung) get cyberbullied by Shen Juan's fans and ruin his reputation. They are both pride of China, one an actor and the other a singer. Why do we have to determine who is superior?]

First of all, my point is that we cannot compare them.

They are top artists from different periods in their respective fields, so forcing a comparison is a bit like comparing apples and oranges.

Secondly, Shen Juan's goal was never to surpass Cheng Long, but to become the next MJ.

Michael Jackson's international influence is greater than Jackie Chan's, since music knows no borders and his songs are certainly more widely disseminated.

Furthermore, Jackie Chan's use of body language as a key characteristic has made him popular even with foreigners who don't understand Chinese. He is a source of pride for the Chinese people and the most influential movie star! That's why Jackie Chan is still making movies even now, at such an advanced age, instead of retiring. He is a living legend of the 21st century!
Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, has entered the annals of history and become a shining star in human culture.

Shen Juan is making history, striving to become a part of humanity's splendid history and the youngest legend.

So let's have less arguing and more tolerance. We're lucky to have Shen Juan and Cheng Long by our side.

The online debate is raging.

This documentary trailer, which is only two minutes long, has become the hottest topic of discussion.

However, Shen Juan, the person at the center of the storm, didn't think about all that and didn't pay much attention to these comments.

Artists who are on the rise are not in a hurry to compare themselves with their predecessors who have reached their peak and are now declining.

He treated his seniors of equal status with nothing but respect.

So now he's just lying in bed reading gossip.

The same blogger, "Renruji," has released information he recently collected and compiled related to Shen Juan.

Fans of the shows "Sister-in-Law 101" and "Sister-in-Law 202" have come to regard him as a trusted source of information.

So much so that even Shen Juan, the person in question, could easily see gossip related to him, though its veracity was questionable.

[Shen Yujie is not Shen Juan's cousin; they are not related by blood. However, this pseudo-incestuous relationship resonated with some fans. Furthermore, Shen Yujie did indeed take leave from school to go to London on her birthday, where Shen Juan was holding a concert. Therefore, it's not surprising that CP (couple) fans emerged.]

Xiao Shen is indeed quite nice and cute.

She gave Shen Juan a feeling somewhat like Wang Chuan.

She also has a bit of a pampered wife vibe.

But Wang Chuan was more delicate and more dependent on Shen Juan.

The younger Shen is more mature and independent.

Shen Juan really likes the number 520 because it's not only his birthday but also Zhou Ye's birthday, and it also means "I love you." Therefore, the release date of his documentary and the number of people who donated via private messages (each person donated $3000) that was recently revealed both coincide with 520.

Not much to say.

Shen Juan donated 1000 million yuan in donations alone. And this was only his private charitable act.

It can only be said that Shen Juan has indeed given up a lot of benefits since his debut in order to climb higher and go further (he went to the US right after becoming popular through The Rap of China, and his domestic base was weak, so he needed Lehua to continue to work hard on marketing. He couldn't just terminate the contract for short-term gains). He has made many contributions to society.

Although Shen Juan has a chaotic private life and is frequently tortured, he is actually quite popular with women in the entertainment industry. His multiple identities as a top idol, rapper, Western singer, and fashion icon are enough to appeal to all female groups. However, he has high standards and prefers to date ordinary people, so many female celebrities don't meet his standards.

Thinking about it that way, it does seem to be true.

Nowadays, young girls who want to follow celebrities like K-pop and rappers, as well as the more sophisticated and niche Western singers. Shen Juan, whose background is extremely complicated due to his bumpy debut, seems to be able to appeal to all young girls just by his identity.

The mainstream Chinese entertainment industry, the relatively niche K-pop scene, and the smaller hip-hop, J-pop, and Western entertainment circles.
Shen Juan has almost achieved a complete victory!

World's most handsome man + World's number one male + East Asian fandom = invincible

Shen Juan is considered one of the more stable artists in the industry; he doesn't get angry easily. The media reports that he's arrogant and demanding are just smear campaigns bought by his rivals. Besides, his studio offers good benefits; he receives large bonuses during holidays, and many wealthy heiresses try every means to find connections to become his assistant.

Shen Juan's team is actually not very large.

Because he was extremely strict in recruiting new members, fearing the infiltration of moles and sasaeng fans with ulterior motives.

Moreover, Lao Song had actually told him about this.

She heard that a wealthy woman from Shanghai, known for her generosity, asked her if she could help arrange for her to become an assistant in Shen Juan's team.

Lao Song is very tactful.

Know what you can and cannot do.

So he told Shen Juan about it directly, telling him to be careful when hiring assistants so he wouldn't make a mistake.

[Zhou Xun, Chen Kundong, and Shen Weilai's heavily promoted newcomer Zhang Jingyi is Shen Juan's junior. She is also a resource-rich individual. Last month, she recorded "Back to Field 4" in Xishuangbanna. She is the "mysterious non-celebrity sister-in-law of Beijing Film Academy" that was previously rumored in the fan circle. Shen Juan wants to push her to the forefront and introduce her to everyone.]

The first half is true.

The second half was all made up.

First of all, the mysterious amateur sister-in-law from Beijing Film Academy is Xiao Ye.

Shen Juan can provide a firsthand account of this point, making a definitive judgment.

Moreover, strictly speaking, Xiao Ye, who was in the same year and class as Shen Juan, was the real leader and boss of the Beijing Film Academy faction!
Unfortunately, perhaps because Xiao Ye usually gives people a gentle and weak feeling, and is not even a tenth as scary as Sister Wei, many rookie players who enter the league do not have any respect for her. She has not been able to exert pressure and domineering aura like Sister Tian, ​​who has earned a fierce reputation in the fan circle.

Secondly, Zhang Jingyi's appearance on the show was not arranged by him; she mustered up the courage to ask Zhou Xun for the opportunity herself.

She is a very strong and stubborn girl.

Although I felt conflicted and had many doubts in my heart.

But once a goal is set, I will go for it.

We must do it firmly and spare no effort!

[The price of apartments in Vanke 108 in Beijing's Guomao area has skyrocketed recently because of Shen Juan's move-in. Many celebrities, internet personalities, and wealthy heiresses want to be Shen Juan's neighbors. Li Yitong and Gulnazar are very happy now, especially Li Yitong, who just bought an apartment. However, no matter how high the price goes, they will not sell.]

Anyway, Naza had already been subdued by the tax during her stay at home, and her liking for him had reached its peak.

Shen Juan felt that domestic real estate developers should pay him to be their spokesperson, except for those properties that had gone bust. He didn't want to become the spokesperson for the new era's "Sanlu milk powder".

Cheng Xiao has had excellent variety show opportunities since leaving Yuehua Entertainment. She continues as a regular on Running Man and as a female contestant, and has also confirmed her participation in Hunan TV's "Chinese Restaurant 4" this year. This was agreed upon by Huang Xiaoming, as he and Yang Ying are each pursuing their own interests, and he doesn't mind his wife's affair with the younger and more magnanimous Shen Juan. However, Yang Mi has developed a rift with her best friend Yang Ying because of this. She believes that her inability to win over Shen Juan is due to Yang Ying frequently speaking ill of her in front of Shen Juan.

What nonsense!

Although Sister Nose did make sexual advances towards him on WeChat, Shen Juan would never get involved with a married woman.

He has always been a pure love god of war since childhood!
He kills every minotaur he sees!
This blogger is definitely smuggling in their own agenda!
The three sisters from Sanlitun have a very good relationship and often go shopping together. Zhou Ye hardly cares about anything in life; besides work, she just plays. Her food, clothing, housing, and transportation, including buying clothes, are all taken care of by Tian Xiwei and Cheng Xiao. When Shen Juan is not around, their little group is usually led by Tian Xiwei.

Why are you describing Xiao Ye as a "five" who's so happy he doesn't want to leave?
That's a bit of an insult to coconuts.

This person is said to be like a machine.
Could he be a fan of Sister Tian?
[Song Zuer hasn't brought any new fish fry to Shen Juan's fishpond for a long time; her KPIs aren't meeting expectations, so Shen Juan plans to replace her.]

Shen Juan silently took a screenshot and forwarded the exposé to Lao Song, whose records showed that the two of them were chatting last night.

I wonder what she thinks.
Does he swear?

[Liu Haocun, dubbed "the most resourceful actress in the Chinese entertainment industry," was actually born on May 20, 1998. It's true that she was recently revealed to be a fan of Shen Juan. Zhang Yimou (the actor who plays Shen Juan) called her almost every night because of this, fearing she might develop feelings for Shen Juan during filming.]

I went a little overboard almost every night.

But Emo does sometimes call Liu Haocun.

As for what they were talking about, that remains unknown.

Anyway, every time Cunzi finished talking to Zhang Yimou, she would look at Shen Juan with a strange look, as if she had suddenly found out that her boyfriend of many years was actually her father's killer. This made Shen Juan frown, and his curiosity about this matter snowballed.

[Shen Juan's sudden Weibo post last month promoting Zibo barbecue wasn't because he had taken on a local tourism promotion assignment, but because Wang Churan is from Zibo. Based on the released itinerary information, it can be inferred that Shen Juan took a day in Zibo before heading to Qingdao to join the filming of "Little Red Flower".]

It was intentional and accidental.

Shen Juan simply never took the initiative to admit it, and never openly dated, but at the same time, he never thought of hiding it.

Of course, it is precisely because of this attitude of not deliberately concealing that the fish fry can gain as much sense of security as possible.

After all, with a womanizer and a clandestine relationship, it's really hard to guarantee that a girl, who already desperately needs security compared to a boy, won't be consumed by insecurity.

Maintaining the stability and sustainable development of fishponds requires more thought and a longer-term perspective; it's not something that can be solved with just a handsome face and a bank card.

[Starlink is recruiting trainees in South Korea and Japan on a large scale, and is also poaching executives from other entertainment companies with high salaries. Some people say that this is Shen Juan's way of scouting attractive amateurs in Japan and South Korea, but this is slander against him. Even without his company, he can still be a force to be reckoned with there.]

In truth, Min Hee-jin still couldn't escape the influence of the original timeline's development trajectory, and started preparing for Newjeans.

However, some members were replaced.

(The debut group has not been determined yet, but Shen Juan can see the list of trainees and look for any familiar names.)
For example, only three of the original five remained, and then Seol-yoon caught Min Hee-jin's eye with her outstanding appearance.

Shen Juan also plans to cultivate a second girl group that is distinct from Newjeans, which takes a girl group route.

Members of IZ*ONE and idols whose careers were hindered by smaller companies could be recruited for a second debut.

Anyway, I have plenty of money and connections.

Therefore, whether in East Asia or Europe and America, there are ample stage resources available for their girl groups.

Hu Lianxin was ranked among the top 4 in terms of looks on Hupu (a Chinese sports forum). Netizens discovered that she is not only the roommate of Song Zuer, a junior of Shen Juan, but also stated during an interview at the art exam that she is a fan of Shen Juan and even received a lucky fan visit to the set. Recently, her Weibo side account, which was exposed by netizens, was filled with numerous declarations of love and "dream girl" literature, leading to harsh criticism that she is a "Shen Juan fangirl," causing her to lose many fans who were planning to support her. However, Shen Juan will compensate her.

It's actually a bit funny.
Some time ago, some resourceful netizens dug up Xiao Hu's alternate account, which is the one that says "It's Xiao Hu, not Xiao Hu Ya".

It was discovered that while she was participating in the program recording, she was secretly using her phone to update her Weibo intensively. On average, she would update two posts a day related to her boyfriend or crush (who was not named but was suspected to be Shen Juan), and without exception, all of them were posted at two or three in the morning.

For example, this Weibo post recently became a trending topic:

One day I suddenly discovered the secret to happiness.

It's receiving your blessings and gifts on holidays and birthdays; it's hearing you tell me to have fun and be careful when I'm out traveling; it's quietly listening to your songs in bed on rainy days when there are no worries; it's receiving your comfort when I fail my hard-earned driver's license test; it's lying in bed with the pillow at the perfect height so I can calmly think of you; it's creating perfect bubbles on my body in the shower and wanting to take a picture to share with you; it's the cute cats and dogs on the street cuddling with you and me smiling as I tell them you're a friend of pets; it's trying on nice clothes and unexpectedly getting a perfect fit and receiving your praise.

It's sleeping soundly through the night without nightmares and seeing your "Good Morning" message; it's the comforting video call you send when I'm feeling down and have no one to talk to; it's the funny video you send when I'm bored; it's your songs randomly playing in my headphones while I'm walking down the street; it's filling my stomach with the food and drinks you endorse after a busy day; it's waking up to find the breakfast you brought me still steaming hot; it's cherishing everything I have without worrying about gains or losses; it's knowing how to be content and satisfying my deepest desires; it's caring only about the apple when I have it.

Eel! What can I say?

It can only be said that although Xiao Hu is still recording "Youth With You 2", after receiving the script sent by the company, she has already begun to cultivate a literary and artistic temperament for herself, and has entered the role state required for "Love Like a Bouquet" in advance.

She really wanted to play this role well!
She really wanted to make the most of the limited time they had together and the opportunity to work together to create perfect on-screen memories with Shen Juan!
