Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 466 The leading lady is destined to live in the shadow of the leading man.

Everyone has been busy in the kitchen for so long.

It was almost eight o'clock when dinner was finally served.

Perhaps it was because there were too many strangers today, and it was not appropriate to test so many people at once. Or perhaps it was because they dared not conduct obedience tests on the guests in front of Shen Juantian and her brother for the time being, for fear of provoking public anger and being beaten by the two of them, resulting in them losing face in front of so many people.

In short, Leizi behaved very well today.

Not only did they not mess around in the kitchen, but with the help of Haiqing and others, they also prepared a table full of dishes, which was very sumptuous!

After the dishes were served, everyone sat down in the pavilion.

Although Sister Tian didn't take Ju Jingyi to heart.

Based on her observations today, she felt that Ju Jingyi was unlikely to have a chance, as Shen Juan didn't seem to like her type.

But she still occupied the spot next to Shen Juan.

No other reason.

Because she already knew from Zhang Zifeng that when she went to take a shower, Shen Juan and Ju Jingyi chatted on the swing for about ten minutes. Although she didn't know exactly what they talked about, it probably wasn't work-related. She didn't think their friendship was purely platonic, unless she was really a female Tong!

And
So what if I want to stay by Juanjuan's side? If you're so bold, then come between us and break us up like a third wheel!

He's my boyfriend, so it's only natural for me to sit next to him!
"Today is a reunion for our little group!"

"Yes, the mini series! Our 'A Little Reunion' and 'A Little Thing Called First Love'! Welcome Teacher Hai! Welcome Teacher Ren!" Huang Lei raised his teacup and clinked glasses with everyone. "And we also want to welcome our Xiao Ju, Zhou Shen, Yue Yue, Zhang Shaogang, and Mao Mao, who we're meeting for the second time at the Mushroom House!"

Everyone expressed their gratitude.

Next comes the essential talking segment.

After the preachy Lei Zi finished sharing his and Hai Qing's past experiences and his reflections on life, it was time for Shen Juan and his group of young people to have their own exchange.

Yue Yunpeng and Zhang Shaogang shared their experience filming with Shen Juan in Qingdao, saying that Shen Juan is not only the most talented and hardworking actor they have ever met, but also a very easy person to get along with. They then used their own personal integrity to guarantee that Shen Juan's personality is definitely not as bad as the outside world says!

To be honest, Shen Juan really wanted to laugh.

These guys are really good at flattering him in front of the camera! They're all eyeing his vast popularity!
However, since they've gone to such lengths to please him, even risking their own integrity to vouch for him by giving him gold water and solidifying his image as a good person, then it wouldn't hurt to let them benefit from it.

After all, at this stage, he is like an emperor in a feudal dynasty in the Chinese entertainment industry. In order to ensure that his imperial power is not violated and to consolidate his rule, in addition to those civil and military officials who can do practical work, there are also eunuchs who flatter him.

The eunuch system was an extension of imperial power.

Lay made it, and Yue Yunpeng made it too.

There may be differences in their popularity and influence.

The methods and rhetoric used to piggyback on online traffic vary.

But in Shen Juan's eyes, they were all the same.

They all belong to the category of comedic roles that are not suitable for public performance.

As for Zhou Shen, who was clinking glasses with him...
Having a male voice that sounds like a woman is both his advantage and his disadvantage.

Moreover, this guy looks a bit like Shan Yichun.

They all belong to the category of being able to sing but not create.

The only difference is that Zhou Shen's fans are heavily influenced by fandom, so he doesn't need to create hype like Shan Yichun does.

He and Hua Chenyu are arguably the two singers with the highest concentration of fans and fandom among this group of new generation singers.

Mao Buyi shared his first encounter with Shen Juan on "The Coming One," saying that his first reaction upon seeing Shen Juan was, "Wow, this guy is so handsome!" His second reaction, after listening to Shen Juan sing, was, "Wow, this guy sings so well!"

As long as the singer whose songs you've plagiarized isn't like Duanmei, who's a stray dog ​​that makes you want to kick him to death, Shen Juan can generally maintain a certain level of respect.

Therefore, they also gave Xiao Wang a very high evaluation and engaged in some mutual flattery, saying that Xiao Wang reminded them of Taylor Swift, both of whom have the ability to tell stories in a captivating way.

Then, as a mentor on Produce Camp and the owner of Starlink, the two talked about Starlink trainees.

Whether it's Liu Xiening, Jiang Zhenyu, Shen Xiaoting, or Lana who have previously debuted or been trainees, or Sun Zhenni who escaped from the Myanmar northern park, they all performed exceptionally well on the show and are likely to get a significant amount of screen time!
Shen Juan thought for a moment.

Since Zheng Naixin, the Thai member who debuted in the original timeline, didn't come this time, he might be able to buy an extra debut spot from Tencent and squeeze Jiang Zhenyu and Liu Xiening into it together.

This also ensures that their popularity doesn't fade too quickly after the show ends, allowing them to reach their peak right from their debut.

As night deepened, the story session came to an end.

Everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

But Shen Juan received a call from Taylor.

It was noon there.

Considering Taylor's sleep schedule of not going to bed until 4 a.m., Shen Juan suspected that she had called him as soon as she got up.

"Alex, I know it's late at night where you are, please forgive my intrusion, I hope I didn't disturb your sleep."

"I was just about to go to bed, what's wrong?"

"The story is complicated, so I've decided to keep it short. You know, I was supposed to hold my Lover tour this year, but it was canceled at the last minute because of loyalty. So I thought I might use this time of staying at home and not being able to go out to create my new album."

"Sounds good, what's next?"

"Okay, I have to admit I've had many sleepless nights worrying about this new album I'm working on!"

Taylor sounded very tired, clearly having been troubled by this problem for a long time. So she had no choice but to call Shen Juan, whose relationship with her was progressing rapidly for various reasons, to see if she could get inspiration and advice from him, or simply to confide her troubles and vent her frustrations.

In fact, Shen Juan held a very special place in her heart, even surpassing many old friends she had known for many years.

The reason is also very simple.

The creators appreciate each other, have no competitive relationship, have had fairly pleasant collaborations, and have shared hardships of being criticized together (toilet me). Shen Juan contacted them immediately when he was preparing to launch a global charity concert, without even going to Ariana Grande (this hurt Ariana Grande a little).
In short, a combination of factors led Taylor to develop trust in Shen Juan and a path dependency.

So much so that whenever she encounters a problem that gets her stuck, besides her own producer, the first person she thinks of is Shen Juan.

Ah Huang: So love will disappear, right? But I'm the one with yellow hair! Does that mean I, as someone with yellow hair, can be bullied?
“Alex, I have to admit that I’m not quite used to this streaming era. Many of my contemporaries have faded in recent years, but I’m only 30 and I still have many goals to achieve. So I want to break out of my past musical style and artistic framework and create a brand new album that is different from all my other albums, to announce my continuous evolution throughout my music career!”

"But you know, the beginning is always difficult. Of course, the difficulty is not in creating songs, but in the direction of creation. Do you understand what I mean? I have many paths in my mind, but I don't know which one to take. This album is very important to me, and I don't want to disappoint myself."

Last year's album "Lover" was heavily criticized, with many saying she had lost her touch and would follow in Katy Perry's footsteps.

Therefore, in order to succeed, she had no choice but to force herself to step out of her comfort zone and make changes.

"You mean you want to change your style? From country to pop isn't enough, you want to go beyond pop too?" Shen Juan knew that she might have entered the background story of Taylor's eighth album "Folklore," which she would mention in future album production documentaries or other interviews.

"That's right! Although the mainstream market is bigger, I want to give my fans more fresh experiences. Of course, I feel the same way. As a creator, sometimes it's necessary to create works that fulfill my own needs in order to inspire more creative passion and thus extend my career."

"Okay, so what are your specific thoughts now?"

"In the eyes of my fans, I used to be more of a glittering pop star, but now I want to make a change. I want to overturn everyone's preconceived notions about me. I want to become an artist recognized by the public, so that's what I think."

Taylor shared all her ideas and even played a few demos for Shen Juan.

After confirming that the melodies matched some of his memories, Shen Juan immediately offered his suggestion: "Since you are so good at writing lyrics, why not take your talent to the extreme and try to create characters or use other people's experiences as a blueprint for your stories?"

"you mean"

"How about a teenage love triangle?" Shen Juan said casually. "I think I can play the male lead, and you can play the female lead and the third party who interferes in their relationship."

"Cool! Putting aside the actual effect of the writing, I can at least confirm that this is definitely a fantastic marketing hit!" Taylor's mood was noticeably better at this moment, and she even joked, "But don't you think making me play two roles will drive me crazy?"

"Am I not at a disadvantage if I play the role of a cheating scumbag?"

"I think you should be very good at this."

"Fxxk you!" Shen Juan rolled his eyes at the sky, speechless. The whole world knows I'm a scumbag!

Taylor felt all the negative emotions she had accumulated vanish, and she laughed for a long time before calming down.

"Let's get back to the main topic. If we were to give you this song about scumbags, how would we ensure the consistency and coherence of the album? After all, we both know that our musical styles are very different. Just like suddenly inserting a rock song into a blues album would seem extremely abrupt."

"It's very simple. Just send me two finished pieces, and I can create something based on the style you want."

Taylor was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone. "To be honest, some of the things you say are really enviable."

"Like now?"

"Yes."

"Are you very unhappy right now?"

"A little."

"Then we're even. I was also quite upset just now."

Taylor laughed again, now feeling even more relaxed. "I really hope this whole thing ends soon! I can't wait to talk to you about music in person! If Joe weren't here, I might have been like your girlfriends, throwing myself at you like a moth to a flame."

"Come on, I don't want to be written into your songs."

"You've misunderstood me. I don't only write songs when I break up with someone," Taylor said with a laugh, defending herself.

"But you have to admit, if you write me into a song, they'll definitely think we had a relationship."

"Okay, you're right."

"Is there anything else we need to talk about? I think I'm so sleepy I need to say goodnight to you." Shen Juan noticed that even the crew members had packed up their equipment and gone back to their rooms to sleep.

"No more today."

"Good night then."

"It's daytime here."

"."

"Hahahahahaha!"

"Then let's have a good day?"

After hearing Taylor's specially learned Chinese "Goodnight," Shen Juan hung up the phone and returned to his room in a cheerful mood. Although Taylor was indeed his friend, he had too many friends to help unconditionally.

The tangible monetary gains are one part of it.

(The overseas music market respects the rights of songwriters and composers. You can hardly make money just by singing. So many singers who are good at composing will create their own defenses even if their lyrics are terrible, because they don't want to share the money with others. Unlike in China, you can easily spend hundreds of thousands of yuan to find a big shot to fix your lyrics.)
You'll find that he not only wrote "betty" but also "exile" in the end.

(The love triangles in Folklore are "Betty", "Cardigan" and "August")
Even if we think about it from a more pragmatic perspective...
This transformative work, which helped Taylor break free from conventional perceptions and achieve a turnaround in public opinion, is destined to bear the mark of Shen Juan.

No matter how high it flies, he deserves some credit.

This might leave behind a "black mark" that the singer doesn't care about, but fans and haters do, causing this future world number one female to live forever in the shadow of the world number one male.

Therefore, in this situation, it was really hard for Shen Juan not to hum Puyi's little tune and go to bed in a happy mood.

Effortlessly, another achievement added to the tally!

Meanwhile, in the girls' room where the lights were already off, Sister Tian, ​​who was wearing a face mask, was still working late into the night under the covers.

However, unlike her boyfriend who was on the phone working on his career, she was busy with matters of love and romance.

On her way to the Mushroom House this morning, she logged into her alternate account, which she uses to share her relationship and show off her love, and posted a Weibo post. She took a picture of the ice cream box Shen Juan brought her last night and posted it with a line from a TV drama as the caption: "Oranges aren't the only fruit, oranges are."

After more than ten hours of fermentation, it has attracted more than 6,000 comments, and the desire to discuss it is very high!
It can only be said that Sister Tian is quite capable; she managed to get so many real comments without the help of trending topics.

That certainly demonstrates their ability.

So, is this a gift from Shen Juan to Sister Tian?

Hehe! Is that even a question?

It's pretty obvious, isn't it?
I can't wait to watch this year's "Back to Field"! I really hope real couples on the show won't avoid each other!

Should I avoid suspicion?

I was already being careful not to jump on Juanjuan and give him a big kiss in front of so many people!

Do I look like someone who avoids suspicion?
I've never understood how to write the words "avoid suspicion" in my entire life!
[Other couples rely on post-production editing, but this couple relies on the celebrities themselves personally releasing sweet moments and inviting people to ship them.]

There's nothing I can do; my boyfriend is completely unresponsive.

I have no choice but to rely on myself to make a living.

[This couple is so sweet! Even if Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong break up, I still don't believe Tian Jie and Shen Juan will break up.]

What right do they have to try and frame me and Juanjuan?
Don't even touch rotten fish and shrimp!
Of course, if Shen Juan wanted to break up, I'm afraid Sister Tian would cut his head off like she did in School Days.

You've all misunderstood me!
I'm clearly so soft, cute, and adorable.
How could it be so brutal?

Although every time he said he would beat him to death, smash his dog head, and twist his dog head off by prying off his ears.
But how could I possibly bear to lay a hand on him?
I love him so much!

I put down my phone and stared at the ceiling.

Sister Tian began to devise tactical plans for tomorrow.

Should we play zone defense or continue with man-to-man defense?

However, a full-court man-to-man press requires a lot of stamina from the players. For example, today when I was taking a shower after the game, I was robbed of a chicken by that hobbit Ju Jingyi who was traveling at an off-peak time. And I heard that tomorrow's guest star is that pretentious and affected Dilireba.
Damn, this guy's got a tough nut to crack!

It's definitely on par with Gulnazar's giant roast chicken!
And she's so alluring and beautiful.
It's obvious she's trying to seduce my tired dog!

Ugh, this is so annoying!

Why does everyone want to steal my dog?!
Damn it! I'm going to keep a close eye on her tomorrow!
Who says I'm Timothy?
I was clearly the one who single-handedly led the team out of the East, crushed the Warriors, and won the Real Ring with Kawhi Leonard!

DPOY is an honor I am very proud of!
Death Coil is my signature move!
Just wait and see how I lock her up tomorrow!
With me on the court, she won't score a single point!
This attack must leave her with psychological trauma!

I'll make her tremble uncontrollably whenever she sees me, and hopefully scare her until she peees a few drops!

Day 8 Diary - Xishuangbanna Chapter

October 26th, Sunday, sunny.

Today's work is recording "Back to Field 4".

As I opened the car door, a wave of heat hit me; the temperature was so high I almost fainted! It's hard to imagine how people in ancient times survived without air conditioning in such weather.

I dragged my suitcase along the cement road lined with flowers on both sides. As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Teacher He smiling and greeting me: "Dilraba is here! Welcome, welcome!"

Are you tired from the journey?

I quickly smiled and said I wasn't tired, just a little hot.

Peng Yuchang respectfully took my luggage. I told him not to be so polite since we were the same age, but he said that I was her senior and he needed to be respectful. Zhang Zifeng waved to me from behind the door frame. She still looked so shy, exactly the same as when I watched the show.

Then there's Shen Juan, whom I've been longing to meet for so long, and Tian Xiwei, whom I don't really want to deal with.

Actually, I was a little nervous.

When Shen Juan messaged me yesterday saying "See you tomorrow," I stared at our chat window for a long time in a daze.

I've always known Shen Juan's personality quite well.

At least that's how I see it.

Normally, he is a man who doesn't want to establish stable relationships. He comes and goes freely like a mountain breeze, flirting with women everywhere. Because he values ​​commitment, he won't make commitments easily. He cares more about his career goals, so it's difficult for women to keep him in one place with their feelings.

At least I think it's very difficult for me.

So there's a high chance he won't come looking for me on his own initiative.

The only way to break the status quo is to take the initiative!
As for Tian Xiwei, who is infamous in the fan circle for her harsh insults and is now guarding against me like a thief?
It is a bit troublesome, but that's all.

I don't think she can always stand in my way. When she relaxes, that's when I'll take the initiative!
But what happened later made me realize...
I was so wrong!
She was far more wary of me than I had imagined!
After we settled our luggage in the room, Teacher He took us out to work. Today's task was to dig lotus roots in the pond.

I quietly walked up to Shen Juan and asked him if he had dug before, hoping to use this as a starting point to chat with him. But before he could even open his mouth, Tian Xiwei on the other side gave him a cold and emotionless answer: "No!"

I couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, fellow guest Ouyang Nana came to my rescue. She said she was very excited about digging lotus roots for the first time, and then skipped over to Shen Juan and took my spot, pushing me aside. I was dumbfounded.

what's the situation?
I thought she was there to assist me?

what's the situation?
Why didn't Tian Xiwei fire at her?
So her automatic defense firing system can only recognize my face? Is it really necessary to target me like this?
I was speechless, feeling a deep malice being poured over me, and could only remain strong as always.

After going down into the pond, I struggled to move and got stuck in the mud several times. Just when I was about to call for help (Shen Juan), Tian Xiwei appeared in front of me again. She bent down, grabbed my calf, and pulled me out like pulling up a radish, successfully freeing me from the mud.

But even though I was smiling and thanking them.

But I couldn't help but start complaining in my mind.

What the hell!
Why are you being so boyfriend-like?

Did he learn it from being around Shen Juan?

And Ouyang Nana is currently acting cute with Shen Juan!

Why are you focusing on me and ignoring everyone else? Did I do something wrong or offend you?

Could this be the legendary...?
The game can be lost, but Teemo must die?
But if we're really talking about Teemo, or Yordles, we should really talk about Ju Jingyi, who just left the Mushroom House, and her height!

Did she receive the same treatment as me?

The mullet really died.
After working for an hour, I returned to the Mushroom House with a full harvest. I thought I would finally have a chance to chat with Shen Juan, but I didn't expect Tian Xiwei to stay by Shen Juan's side the whole time. Whenever I got close, she would stare at me fiercely and make a huffing sound from time to time.

Even when Shen Juan went to the toilet, she would stand guard outside for him; and when she went to the toilet, Zhang Zifeng would appear beside Shen Juan, looking at me with those weak and helpless eyes, as if begging me not to make things difficult for her.
Man! What can I say?

I'm absolutely speechless!

Are there any humans living in this mushroom house?
Is this woman surnamed Tian Shenjin?
Is the competition between the females really that fierce?

Is it really necessary to target and disgust me like this?

Is it really necessary to go to such extremes?
I've been waiting for this day for so long, and you've been watching me and locking me up the whole time? Are you treating me like a Japanese person?
So many people have entered his fishpond, even Shen Yujie from the same group has entered, why can't I?

Can't you see that the coquettish, spoiled Taiwanese girl is also trying to get close to him?
Do you hate me that much?

Are you that afraid of me?

Why do women make things difficult for other women?

After dinner and our conversation, as I was sorting out my feelings before bed, my phone suddenly lit up. It was an apology WeChat message from Shen Juan. At least I thought he was sincerely apologizing: "[I feel like she doesn't really like you. I don't know why she's acting so strange today; she's not usually like this.]"

I typed a reply with a smile: 【She's cute.】

After sending the message, his expression immediately changed.

Cute my foot!
Xiao Shen is a million times cuter than her!
She's an extremely sensitive person who also suffers from a series of serious illnesses, including bipolar disorder and ADHD!
When Tian Xiwei joined in and used her fists to implement an iron-fisted rule, the Mushroom House was no longer the Mushroom House where everyone used their own unique abilities.

This place is full of intrigue and deceit.

This place is rife with exclusion, targeting, and suppression.

It has everything here.

There was no love.

But I'm not one to give up easily.

I will not back down easily!
I was born with the genes of a champion!

Once you leave your home turf and lose the referee's help, you won't be as lucky as you are today.

This was a unique experience; I considered most things, and it was a completely new experience for me.

I will absorb everything fully and then make a comeback.

I mean...
I will use this off-season to improve myself.

Nobody wants to face me next season.

I promise!
