Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 471 A Golden Statue Award for Emperor? It's nothing special.
[Sirelli paid $1800 million for a three-day trial of the Alex-brand charging stick!]

[Wajuan's capacity is said to be aircraft carrier-level, but he's simply no match for his grandmother, so he has to take medicine.]

Alex, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner and her boyfriend Cockroach, Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey are all frequent partygoers, and wife-swapping is commonplace for them. Ariana Grande was someone Alex met while playing Russian roulette at a party; Alex's bullet just happened to be lodged in Ariana Grande's body.

The online controversy surrounding Shen Juan for bringing Shan Yichun into the industry continues and is even intensifying. Moreover, considering that it is during the election of the leader of the neighboring country, it is really hard not to suspect that there are treacherous forces stirring up trouble, which has sparked discussions on the other side of the ocean and even globally.

Looking at Cheng Xiao, who was engrossed in the conversation, Shen Juan couldn't help but complain, "Do you have some strange fetish?"

"No!" Cheng Xiao continued scrolling through the comments without looking up, the corners of his mouth curving upwards.

Shen Juan was somewhat speechless.

When Wang Chuan and Xiao Shen came to visit the set, they wanted to stick by his side 24 hours a day. Only when Xiao Xiao came to visit the set did she just go somewhere else to go online.

This woman is quite bizarre.
"Then why are you so excited about this kind of thing?"

"Don't you think it's funny?"

It's interesting, though.

After all, lies don't hurt people; the truth is the sharpest knife.

But we cannot admit it.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to keep getting close to him and using my ultimate skill all the time.

So Shen Juan retorted sharply, "You seem to enjoy seeing your boyfriend being gossiped about with other women? You're not a cuckold, are you?"

But Cheng Xiao acted as if nothing had happened, calmly retorting, "Haven't you cheated on me enough?"

Shen Juan immediately forced out an awkward yet polite smile that he had learned from Liu Haocun, and was speechless.

Cheng Xiao looked up at Shen Juan, then at the flood of gossip on her phone screen.

I couldn't help but sigh.

No one, male or female, likes being cuckolded.

But the world is always forcing people to make choices.

Is it choosing a scumbag who you like and are satisfied with every part of, which is the kind of person you like?

Or would you choose someone who is extremely loyal in relationships but is boring and uninteresting, and whom you don't even like, but who likes you?
To be honest, most people would choose the former.

Cheng Xiao was no exception.

Fortunately, Shen Juan did not disappoint her.

It didn't hurt or upset her too much.

There are differences even among scumbags.

At least he was a jerk in a way that made me feel less bad.

So she decided to stop guessing and thinking, and to focus on living each day with him well!
"Hey, when will 'Chinese Restaurant' start filming this year?"

"At the end of June, I traveled along the Yangtze River all the way to Wuhan."

Shen Juan thought for a moment. Filming for "Back to Field 4" wrapped up in late May, and "Love Like a Bouquet" started filming in early June. There were no other regular variety shows or overseas trips during the year. So he should have time at that time.

"Okay, I'll come visit you sometime."

"Great!" Cheng Xiao smiled happily, then suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, this recording will be on a ship."

"so what?"

Cheng Xiao subconsciously looked around and saw that there was no one else in the RV except the two of them. So she moved her body and sat on Shen Juan's lap, facing him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and then leaned down to whisper softly in his ear, "We don't think we've done it on the boat yet, have we?"

Shen Juan was silent for a moment, then said, "You're so slow."

"Just tell me if you want to or not!"

Cheng Xiao clearly felt Shen Juan's carrier-like magnanimity and instantly felt a surge of emotion. So, he couldn't help but press Shen Juan's head into his broad chest and give him tender care.

Shen Juan reluctantly let his girlfriend wash his face with face wash before he broke free: "It's not a matter of whether I want to or not, it's a matter of safety! After all, Chinese Restaurant is not the life I yearn for, Chinese Restaurant is not my show, and it might be difficult to handle if I get filmed going to your room in the middle of the night."

"It's okay, I'll figure out the location of all the cameras as soon as possible and find the blind spots!" Cheng Xiao confidently patted her chest and made a promise: "Honey, you have to believe me!"

Shen Juan shook his head and sighed in his Northeastern accent: "You've already called me husband, so what else is there to say? I'll just do it, won't I?"

"Then my husband"

"what?"

Can I get an advance payment now?

"Sigh, he's already calling me 'husband,' so what else is there to say?"

Cheng Xiao suddenly noticed a pattern and excitedly began to verify it: "Can I get two advances, honey?"

"You've already called me 'husband,' so what else is there to say?"

Cheng Xiao's eyes lit up, and he pressed his advantage: "Three times?"

"You've already called me 'husband,' so what else is there to say?"

After saying that, Shen Juan realized it wasn't appropriate and added, "But we'll have to wait until tonight; I have scenes to film later."

"Is it unreasonable to ask for an advance once?"

"Then hurry! Let's make the most of this time!"

Shenzhen Overseas Chinese Town.

In the practice room of the training base of Produce Camp, after the show aired, the Starlink trainees, who had a rare day off, gathered together. Some chatted enthusiastically about topics that interested them, while others poured out their grievances to their best friends, complaining about the people and things that made them unhappy.

"Hey, Jenny! Is there really a relationship between the boss and that Shan Yichun?" Since Jiang Zhenyu has made up her mind to become a secret investigator who infiltrates the enemy and investigates Shen Juan's aesthetics and quirks, then intelligence gathering work like this is obviously essential.

As for whether he would be tied up and tortured after being discovered by Shen Juan, that naturally evil little devil?
Jiang Zhenyu wasn't too worried.

Because her sexual orientation is very clear.

She only likes women, especially tomboys!

Someone like Liu Yuxin is simply her dream girl!
She didn't think Shen Juan could straighten her out.

Therefore, she was fearless and had no courage!

What kind of evil depravity?
nonexistent!

"Probably not. I'm not familiar with her, so I don't know what exactly happened." What Sun Zhenni didn't say was, even I haven't entered the senior's fishpond, so why should she? Anyway, based on her observations over the past few years, she didn't think Shen Juan's taste would have declined to this extent.

However, what made her happy and even made her daydream was that today was her 20th birthday, and Shen Juan really did send her birthday wishes right at midnight, just as she had imagined, and said that the birthday gift had been sent to her home and she could receive it after she came out of the Produce Camp.

This made her feel great all day!

So I couldn't help but start fantasizing about my sweet love story with the seemingly cold but actually warm-hearted senior, Bai Yueguang.

"Who is she close to?" Jiang Zhenyu asked.

“Xin’er, right? Xin’er and a few others were selected to visit the boss on set.” Shen Xiaoting replied.

"I vaguely remember, it seems like all five lucky fans who went to visit the set were signed by Starlink. They're truly blessed."

Liu Xiening felt that she was also chosen by heaven.

After a relatively unsuccessful two-year idol career in South Korea, she unexpectedly returned to China disheartened and met a crush who made her willingly entrust her idol career to him and whom she liked and admired so much. It was truly a case of "after all the mountains and rivers seemed to have no way out, a new village appeared in the willows and flowers".
This isn't a chosen one, say what you will!
"Brother Shen Juan has always been very kind to his fans, and of course, he's the same way to us." Lana was also genuinely grateful to Shen Juan.

Because Shen Juan not only gave her the opportunity to debut as an idol, but also prepared a way out for her. If all else fails, she can run away and form an F4 with Angelina, Dasha Taran and Savannah. She is not an ungrateful person, so of course she will give her loyalty without reservation.

"Couldn't it be a behind-the-scenes operation?"

Jiang Zhenyu noticed that whenever her sisters talked about Shen Juan, they all acted like they were seeing the sun and couldn't repay his kindness.

A strange sense of superiority arose in her heart, as if she were the only one who was sober in a world of drunks. She felt that they had all been fooled by Shen Juan, and only she, a lesbian with a female sexual orientation, could resist the charm of Shen Juan and make a clear and correct judgment.

As the saying goes, a wise person does not fall in love.

As the only clear-headed and wise person in the company, I will never let my sisters suffer from the harm caused by that scumbag, Juan!

Do not abandon, do not give up!
I will pull them back from the abyss!

I promise!
"Speaking of which, Xin'er's connections in the company are really impressive! She's Song Zuer's roommate, knows Jenny and that Lin Boyang, is one of the lucky fans selected, knows her cousin Shan Yichun and a few others, and even got to know us trainees in order to participate in Youth With You 2."

"It seems to be true."

"She knows everyone in these circles!"

"This is truly amazing!"

Then the group discussed Hu Lianxin's important position in the company ("Sister-in-Law 202").

The final conclusion was: if you want to get into the boss's fishpond, it's definitely the right thing to do to get along well with her, the core member!
A versatile player like her is an essential piece of the championship puzzle that every team aiming for the title needs!

"Eh!!!"

Just as the group was chatting animatedly, Liu Xiening suddenly let out a strange scream into her phone. "Xiening, what's wrong?" Shen Xiaoting asked, looking at Liu Xiening with wide, unnaturally staring eyes.

"Shen Juan sent me a WeChat message!" Liu Xiening's excited voice trembled slightly, which annoyed Jiang Zhenyu!

"What did she post?" Sun Zhenni asked, a little envious.

"They told me to gather you all together so we can have a video chat later," Liu Xiening replied.

"How long later?" Lana asked.

"ten minutes."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiaoting immediately got up without saying a word and walked out of the practice room.

Watching Shen Xiaoting's suddenly departing figure, Liu Xiening seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly stood up, saying in a flustered manner, "Um... I'm going to the restroom!"

Under Jiang Zhenyu's slightly sharp gaze, Sun Zhenni, who had only taken a few steps, waved her hand awkwardly and said, "Um, my stomach hasn't been feeling well lately."

Not getting the answer he wanted, Jiang Zhenyu turned around, trying to keep Lana and get her to join his side.

But Lana was nowhere to be seen behind him! The huge practice room was now empty except for her, leaving her all alone.

People leave and the tea cools down in an instant.
Is this kind of world really worth saving?
For the first time, Jiang Zhenyu had the idea of ​​destroying the world, and for the first time, she wanted to give up on saving her sisters.

Nine agonizing minutes passed, and the group that had just said they were going to the bathroom returned to the practice room right on time.

"Didn't you say you were going to the restroom? Why did you also put on makeup?" Jiang Zhenyu asked knowingly, her face ashen.

"After using the restroom, I looked at myself in the mirror and felt so ugly. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I took some time to go back to the dorm and put on some makeup to try and cheer myself up," Liu Xiening replied without changing her expression. The others nodded in agreement, indicating that Sally was right about what they were thinking.

Jiang Zhenyu's mood sank further and she was speechless. Just as she was about to complain, Shen Juan made a video call.

There was no other way but to force it down.

Hidden behind the crowd, waiting for the call to end.

The video call was connected, and Liu Xiening smiled sweetly.

"good evening!"

"Good evening! And also Jenny, Xiaoting, Lana, and Jiang Jiang. It's been a long time, everyone, good evening!"

The others responded enthusiastically.

Although somewhat surprised that these girls wore makeup even during their breaks, Shen Juan didn't pay too much attention to the issue. He guessed that it was probably done for him, so he directly stated his purpose, demonstrating the company's care for its employees and his own gentleness.

"Here's the thing, your show premiered the day before yesterday, right? So we'll have a quick chat tonight. You can talk about any questions or worries you have. The company will do its best to provide you with off-site support. You've been in Produce Camp for over a month now, so I'd like to know how you've been doing lately. Are you getting used to living with so many people and the high-intensity training?"

So the group started sharing their feelings and experiences from participating in the show with Shen Juan.

To summarize, the accommodations were excellent, the training intensity was high but manageable, and thanks to the boss, the instructors treated them very well, often giving them extra care. Apart from pushing themselves to the limit, almost no one in the camp dared to make things difficult for them.

The chat atmosphere was excellent.

As a "veteran of talent shows," Shen Juan would occasionally offer suggestions and solutions for handling certain matters.

We chatted like that for about half an hour.

Shen Juan said he still has night scenes to film.

So he said goodnight to everyone and hung up the phone.

In the empty practice room, everyone had different feelings.

Sun Zhenni made up her mind that she could no longer pretend to be reserved. She planned to contact Xiao Hu later to ask her how to get into Shen Juan's fishpond and gain his favor or even trust! In order to grasp that only ray of light in this desolate and gloomy world, she was willing to do anything!
Shen Xiaoting and Lana were captivated by Shen Juan's handsome face and gentle smile, and felt even more that they could never repay the kindness of their boss. Under the catalysis of a certain emotion or feeling, they inexplicably had the urge to raise their arms and wave them, jump back and forth, and be so excited that tears streamed down their faces.

\o/\o/\o/\o/\o/\o/
Jiang Zhenyu felt that the two of them were beyond saving.

But it must be admitted that Shen Juan is indeed quite good. If it weren't for the halberd handle, she probably would have fallen in love with him too.

This scumbag is really good at pretending to be gentle to deceive women.

Liu Xiening, her face flushed, clutched her phone tightly.

I remember my mother telling her before.
You must grasp at least one: success or happiness.

Only in this way can there be hope for life.

After leaving the group and returning to China to join Starlink and start a new chapter in her life, Liu Xiening felt as if she had grasped everything.

Shen Juan is both her success and her happiness.

5 month 6 number.

While Shen Juan was diligently filming on set, the 39th Hong Kong Film Awards announced its full list of winners via live online broadcast due to a sense of loyalty.

The winners of the 19 awards have been decided.

"Better Days," which had received a total of twelve nominations, ultimately won nine awards, including Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Screenplay, and Best New Performer, making it the undisputed biggest winner of the year!
Zhou Qiuyu, who won Best Actress for this film, also became the newly crowned Golden Horse and Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress.

The film's male lead, Shen Juan, was nominated twice and won both the Best Actor and Best New Performer awards. He became the first mainland Chinese actor to win both the Best New Performer and Best Actor awards at the Hong Kong Film Awards, and also won his first prestigious Best Actor award.

And it's highly likely to be a rare, discontinued item!
After all, like the Golden Horse Awards, the Hong Kong Film Awards have become increasingly closed off, and in recent years they have basically only been active within the Hong Kong Island circle.

Due to commercial considerations, Shen Juan will most likely not cooperate with Zeng Guoxiang and Xu Yuezhen in the future.

So this is his once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

In response to this explosive news that almost no one, including fans, had expected or dared to imagine, netizens, after the initial shock, mostly offered praise and encouragement.

Anyone with eyes can see that Shen Juan completely outshone Zhou Qiuyu in certain key scenes of the movie.

So they may not have seen the films of the other Best Actor nominees, but if even someone like Zhou Qiuyu can win Best Actress, then Shen Juan definitely deserves to win Best Actor! We can't underestimate or ignore his talent and achievements in acting just because his main job is as a singer!

I hadn't paid much attention to Shen Juan before. The only TV series I'd seen him star in was "So Lovely Us" (I didn't watch "An Elephant Sitting Still" because a friend said it was too boring, "Tragedy" was too bad, and "Intimates" was too saccharine). But just comparing these two shows, his progress is clearly visible and impressive.

Tan Song in "So Cute Us" may be due to the large difference between his own personality and the character's persona, or perhaps because the overall tone is comedic. Although it is clear that he put his heart into the performance, it still appears somewhat raw, with a slightly heavy-handed acting style. He doesn't quite manage to control his emotions or achieve a proper balance.

His portrayal of Liu Beishan in "Better Days" was outstanding! Both his appearance and his emotions were perfectly integrated into the character! He was able to put aside his idol image and play a despicable hoodlum who was annoying inside and out. His hairstyle was nonchalant, his face was bruised and swollen, and he was dirty, wild, and slovenly. He was very down-to-earth. Just for this point, he far surpassed a certain top idol who didn't even want to cut his bangs.

In addition, director Derek Tsang particularly likes to use close-ups of faces in the film. No subtle change in the actors' facial expressions can escape the audience's eyes, and any unnaturalness or flaws in the performance will be magnified, which is a great test of the actors' acting skills.

However, Shen Juan successfully shed his previous image of being aloof and expressionless. Whether it was his disheveled and fierce appearance when fighting in the street, his stubbornness and disdain when facing police interrogation, or the tears and twitching corners of his mouth when looking at Chen Nian through the window in prison, he performed vividly and accurately.

His eyes truly are his greatest weapon!
Therefore, objectively speaking, Shen Juan's acting skills are indeed still somewhat immature. He hasn't reached the point where he can handle any role with ease, and he's far from being a true veteran actor of the highest caliber. His talent and hard work are undeniable, but he mostly found the right role at the right time. Of course, the guidance from director Derek Tsang and the perfect collaboration with co-star Zhou Dongyu also played a crucial role. He still has a lot of room for improvement and a long way to go.

However, considering that his main job is as a singer, winning the Best Actor award this time is like a student who usually scores 70 points suddenly scoring 90 points. Such a surprise is often no less than a perfect performance by a top student. So I think he does deserve praise, but he shouldn't be overhyped.

I only hope that this will inspire him to further establish a stable performance system and reach new heights.

For me, Shen Juan's surprise lies not only in his breakthrough and setting a benchmark and role model for other young actors, but also in injecting a rare touch of heroic and ruggedness into the idol group, diluting some of the effeminate air. A tough-guy image might be a very suitable development direction for him.

There are countless press releases like this.

Although Shen Juan didn't think that a minor Golden Horse Award for Best Actor would be of much help to him, after all, there have been many people in history who have won the award, and even Leung Chiu-wai and Andy Lau can't compare to him now, so why would he be excited about a golden cup?
But he is ultimately pursuing a career as a triple threat artist.

We cannot completely ignore our progress in the film and television industry just because our singing career is going so well and we are shining so brightly.

Therefore, the team still put a lot of effort into marketing in the Greater China region, making sure to go viral across the entire internet!

In addition, fans and the Hong Kong Film Awards organizers have been working very hard to spread the news of Shen Juan winning the Best Actor award.

The former is easy to understand.

Even when Shen Juan won the title of the world's number one handsome man on the international stage, which was purely based on fan votes, they were incredibly excited and happy!
If the Golden Statue of Kings is awarded this time, won't that cause an uproar?

Even if Shen Juan didn't care about the Hong Kong Film Awards, and even if his fans didn't consider the Hong Kong Film Awards a very prestigious honor.

But you can boast about anything that others don't have!
And
The things you treasure so much, I took home and casually tossed to my cats and dogs as toys. Isn't that infuriating?
Fans love nothing more than making others break down!
The latter was because he wanted to use the popularity of the Best Male Artist award to revive the Hong Kong Film Awards, which was in decline, and bring it back to the mainstream.

Who says we look down on mainland actors?
Isn't Shen Juan incredibly awesome?

While I was having afternoon tea today, I was listening to his "Darkness and Dusk," and my whole family are Alovers!

All I can say is that in front of other celebrities in the mainland entertainment industry, they may be able to proudly stand tall and loudly recount the past glory and splendor of Hong Kong entertainment, looking down on these "nouveau riche" who have benefited from the development of the times but have no real talent.

But when they encountered Shen Juan, they really didn't have the confidence to show off their limited skills and boast in front of the world-renowned World No. 1.

After all, even at the peak of their entire industry, Shen Juan's current international fame and global influence were not as great!

Hong Kong films cannot be considered invincible in Asia.

Shen Juan is undoubtedly the undisputed leading man in the world.

The two sides are not even on the same level.

It's really hard for Hong Kong enthusiasts to feel proud.

In short
Whether the Hong Kong Film Awards can succeed by doing this remains to be seen.

In any case, with this overwhelming, carpet-bombing marketing campaign across the entire internet, the vast majority of netizens have become aware of this matter.

Shen Juan's reputation as a movie star is gradually gaining popularity.

So just like Leonardo DiCaprio won the Oscar for Best Actor for "The Revenant," Shen Juan also shed his past image with "Better Days," establishing his own screen persona and successfully taking a crucial step from idol actor to professional actor with real talent!
