Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 475 Guan Zhou Reaches the Top, Under the Spotlight

Afterwards, considering that Lei Zi was not gentle with his food, everyone was a little afraid that he might have tampered with the other dishes as well. So they could only drink all kinds of beverages, which were all concealed in large tea mugs, and engage in extended discussions on various topics of interest to pass the time.

For example, Teacher He very considerately mentioned the Shan Yichun incident, giving Shen Juan the opportunity to clarify and explain. Moreover, while explaining in detail the past between the two (the lucky fan's visit to the set, praising her singing talent), she not only brought her popularity but also took the opportunity to advertise Starlink.

Liu Xiening, Jiang Zhenyu, Sun Zhenni, Shen Xiaoting, and Lana, who are currently participating in "Produce Camp 2020", and Hu Lianxin, Liu Yuxin, Kong Xueer, Jin Zihan, and Liu Lingzi, who are currently participating in "Youth With You 2", are all high-profile contestants, and many of them have even secured their spots in the debut lineup.

Why is the location the practice room?
Because Shen Juan had also been a trainee for several years.

Just like how students have a special feeling for the classroom.

The trainees' feelings towards the practice room are similar.

All I can say is that Xiao Hu is very talented in this area.

Next, there's Shen Yujie, who's currently filming "The Long Ballad" and playing a supporting role to Dilraba, and Wang Churan, who's about to join the cast of "When We Meet Again." After all, compared to playing a supporting role to a top female star or acting opposite a top male star, it's obviously more likely to attract public attention for an ordinary person to have a romance with the male lead.

Then there's G.E.M., who signed with Starlink last year and is following Taylor Swift's path (even her experience of being betrayed by her company and having her copyrights contested is quite similar), Li Wanda and Lin Boyang, who are still developing their careers, Bao Lujia, who is preparing for the college entrance exam, and the MCN influencers like Li Ziqi, Angelina Jolie, and Tasha Taran.

Of course, this only mentions contracted artists in China; the development of the Japanese and Korean branches is not mentioned.

For example, when Li Yitong asked Shen Juan what other film and television works were waiting to be released, Shen Juan said that in addition to the movie he was currently filming, there was also "The Matchmaker" and the big movie of the Leviathan era tour waiting to be released, but all of them depended on Yiqing's mood and would be released when cinemas across the country reopened.

After dinner, it was getting late.

So, at Teacher He's urging, everyone went back inside to start the second half of the game, playing new chat and interactive games.

For example, using a nine-square grid of words to describe a person.

With everyone's recommendation, Shen Juan took the lead, starting with Jiang Peiyao, who had been quiet all day.

"Deer, road, daisy, Sun Yaya, winter, reading, white porridge, light gray, and then white tea."

"Why?" Teacher He asked with a smile.

Jiang Peiyao, who was standing to the side, was also hugging a pillow, resting her chin on it, and quietly waiting for Shen Juan's reply.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Juan said, "Xiao Lu gives people a gentle and lively feeling. Ma Lu is because we often walked together when we were filming 'Go Go Squid!' Yang Zi was also there. Daisy is elegant and doesn't compete or fight, which is very similar to her. Sun Ya Ya is the character she played."

"Then winter. We met in winter before. She reads because she likes to read and sometimes writes short articles. I've read her writings, and they have a point. And white porridge, light gray, and white tea are all the same, very low-key and plain, yet gentle and warm."

Every word he said perfectly reflected Jiang Peiyao's character and qualities; she truly was unassuming, selfless, and dedicated.

And he remembered everything, from strolling on the street to that date in winter, and even writing fanfiction.

He remembered everything so clearly!

He really understands me best!

Thinking so
Jiang Peiyao couldn't help but smile sweetly.

His eyes held nothing but Shen Juan.

All the negative comments about him have vanished; at this moment, I only feel that he is the answer to happiness and joy.

Even the most rational girl can have a day when she's head over heels in love!
After chatting about Jiang Peiyao, they talked about Li Yitong, who was slightly tipsy from drinking some wheat beverages that evening.

"Little rabbit, living room, sunflower, Guo Furong, early autumn, travel, pudding, pink and hot milk."

"I think the rabbit is because I find her lively and cute. I don't know why, but whenever I think of her, I think of the living room. And the sunflower is because I find her very warm. Guo Furong is the character from 'My Own Swordsman.' Xue Jie is a bit eccentric and a bit wild in private."

As Shen Juan meticulously analyzed each word, Li Yitong's gaze towards him became increasingly dazed and confused.

Why the living room?

Others don’t know, so doesn’t she know?

Of course, it's because during the period of loyalty and friendship, Shen Juan always came downstairs to her house to investigate her in the living room!

During that time, they created many beautiful and unforgettable memories in the living room, leaving a very deep impression on them!
And then there's this pudding.
Is this saying my lips are sweet and soft?
To say something like that in front of so many people.
You're so mean!
I really love it too!

I love boyfriends who have a bit of a jerk vibe!

Although it is said that he likes a simple and ordinary life.

But a more exciting love life is better.

After all, we should leave behind some beautiful memories for the future that are worth remembering and savoring, shouldn't we?

Next up is Cheng Xiao, whose big eyes are constantly blinking.

Shen Juan thought for a while and replied, "A friendly golden retriever, a sofa for lazy people, a thorny rose that protects herself, and a summer spent at home with the air conditioning on. As for the role, let's go with Sailor Moon. Although she's a little absent-minded in real life, she's trustworthy in crucial moments. She also loves watching dramas, variety shows, and playing games. Self-heating hot pot is her favorite. The blue of the blues moment, and cola, um, the Coca-Cola I endorse."

Cheng Xiao couldn't help but laugh happily.

As everyone knows, Golden Retrievers don't see any bad people.

Of course, there wasn't a good dog either.

The sofa is because she likes to lie on the living room sofa, covered with a blanket, and play on her phone.

However, being called lazy makes me not very happy. I'm clearly very serious when I practice dancing, okay?
The description of her as a thorny rose is also quite apt. Although she seems to be a laid-back, easygoing person who doesn't compete or fight, she actually has a strong sense of self-protection. If she doesn't fight for something, she won't get hurt. However, she is still very competitive in her areas of expertise or when doing things that she values ​​highly.

As expected, Juanjuan understands me best!
She squinted her eyes happily, lost in sweet memories.

Finally, after waiting for so long that I was almost impatient, I pretended to be nonchalant, saying that I didn't really care, Sister Tian.

"Kitten, Camphor Tree, Sweet Chili, Stitch, Midsummer, Sports, Durian, Red, Want Want Milk".

As soon as Shen Juan finished speaking, Cheng Xiao burst out laughing.

Although it's Sister Tian's turn now.

But no way.

There are just too many factors involved; it's really hard to stay focused.

Although I don't know why the location is on a camphor tree, the other words are indeed very apt!

For example, there's the frizzy, puffy Hakimi, the sweet chili pepper that looks spicy but tastes sweet, Stitch who looks exactly like Sister Tian when she smiles, the durian that smells bad but tastes delicious, and the nickname Xiao Ye used to attack her, Want Want Milk.

If you don't have a deep and accurate understanding of Sister Tian, ​​you probably wouldn't be able to really grasp the meaning of "Juanjuan".

And the other side.
To be honest, Sister Tian was also a little embarrassed.

What kind of words are these?!
Stitch is alright.
But this Want Want Milk!
How can they even use such derogatory terms?

What if everyone in the fandom starts calling me Wangzai?
Do I even have any dignity left?

Do I still need to maintain my authority?

But after a brief period of anger, they become happy and triumphant.

Although the wording was bizarre and it might seem like it was meant to smear her, from another perspective, doesn't it just prove that I am the most special person in Juanjuan's heart?

Moreover, on camphor trees.
I never expected to remember something that happened three years ago so clearly. It was worth risking breaking my leg to climb the tree to see you.

You've got a conscience, kid!

While waiting for Shen Juan's WeChat reply in the room, Sister Tian glanced at her phone screen, then at the bed next to her that used to belong to Li Yitong but was now empty. Instantly, a series of grotesque scenes flashed through her mind, and she fell silent for a moment.

I have a question: My boyfriend and my girlfriend/female friend are having an affair behind my back. What should I do?
Should we catch them in the act?
Should I join them?
Or do nothing?

Did they even run over to hold the door for them?

Waiting online, very anxious!

Chimelong Resort, Guangzhou. Training base for "Youth With You 2".

While eating lunch in the cafeteria that day, Song Xinran opened Baidu Tieba, intending to rely on netizens' comments to make her meal more interesting.

Then I saw this post.

Title: [“STAY” achieves a landslide victory in the charts, becoming Shen Juan’s twelfth number-one single!]

Several pictures are attached below.

There are screenshots of this week's top ten Hot 100 released by Billboard's official website, as well as the cover of STAY magazine.

Content: [This is not only the 12th Billboard number one single for the heartthrob, but also his 8th single to remain at number one, further widening the gap between him and other artists of his generation, and placing him alongside Madonna and The Spremes in the top five of all time!]

"This is too awesome!"

Song Xinran was dumbfounded, somewhat unable to believe it.

Being half Alice and half Spring Roll.

Although she always knew that Shen Juan was very powerful:
Don't say anything else.

Of the initial 100 contestants on the show, at least 20 were fans of Shen Juan.

including herself.

Moreover, inside the Seine River, perhaps because Shen Juan is really attractive, or perhaps because of the influence of Sun Zhenni's escape from the SNH48 park, many idols have become Alovers, fantasizing that one day Shen Juan will come to save them on a colorful cloud and take them away from their suffering.

When the higher-ups at Siba found out, in order to maintain stability and prevent employees from leaving, they directly announced that all idols, including staff, were not allowed to mention Shen Juan's name. Violators would be fined and have their resources cut off. This forced Shen Juan to gain the nickname "that man" on the Seine River, making him a Voldemort-like figure.

Although she always knew that "STAY" was very popular, and that winning the crown was already a foregone conclusion:

Even if they are locked up inside and unable to go out, they can still learn about world events through their mobile phones. They naturally know how popular this song is right now. In China, it is even two to three times more popular than last year's "Blind Light". It has dominated the major popularity charts of the Chinese music scene with its English song!

But when she actually saw Shen Juan being compared to those ancient legends who seemed to only exist on historical lists, she couldn't help but feel a little dazed and unreal. She felt that everything in front of her was a dream, and this 22-year-old singer was really gradually becoming the youngest legend!
Scroll down to the comments section.

Netizens also showed a strong desire to discuss the topic.

They all expressed their opinions and views to praise Shen Juan.

After all, this is a source of pride for Chinese people and even Asians worldwide, so it's no exaggeration to use any words of praise.

[Congratulations to Alex for still going strong! I'm tired of saying I'm tired of slaying! Alex has made distribution fun and made empty crowns cheap. It's my luck to like such a man who changes the rules of the industry! Little Stay, let's go! Let's break your record for the fastest 1 billion views!]

Because I'm tired of saying "I'm tired of slaying".

Shen Juan recently acquired a new nickname: Tired Bro.

Same name as Master Lay
The more famous a celebrity is, the more nicknames they will have, but in the end, only the most famous ones will remain.

Alex is single-handedly fighting against global sentiment, attempting to reverse the record industry's sales slump! This is the vision and ability of a world-class male artist! He represents no longer just himself, but the entire music industry! He is testing the waters for all artists worldwide; his greatness needs no further explanation!

Just like in "The Big Events of Life", Shen Juan also wants to bring out this highly anticipated Sisyphus to save the market.

The difference is that the "market rescue" of "Life's Big Events" was a marketing tactic used by the distribution company to stimulate box office growth and enhance the reputation of the lead actor, while if Shen Juan's new album can achieve good commercial results, it may really drive the global music industry to fully recover and warm up.

He is very willing and good at playing attacking shots.

He is never the type to travel during off-peak hours.

[Am I the only one who noticed that Blindlight has been on the charts for over a year and is still stuck in the top ten? This top-ranking powerhouse is truly invincible, hahaha! I'm really curious how many weeks it will take to drop off the charts; is it really going to take 100 weeks? BTW: Blindlight's 65-week streak in the top 10 is now history!]

The fact that "Blind Light" has become Billboard's all-time greatest single is already established. Now, it all depends on how well "STAY" performs. With Shen Juan releasing an album soon, coupled with the buzz surrounding the Netflix documentary and the concert movie whose release date is still unknown, let's see if it can climb even higher and chase after "Blind Light."

The original record for Blind Light was 57 weeks in the Top 10, but now, with the support of events such as the Grammys and the tour, Shen Juan's personal star power and fan popularity far surpass that of Bonsai, and Blind Light's exposure has been well maintained, so breaking the record is a natural and logical outcome.

(Data from the second decade of the 21st century)

[Fun Fact: With "STAY" successfully topping the charts, Shen Juan's single's number one week count has reached 50 weeks, surpassing Drake's 49 weeks to become the new/super-generation artist with the most number one weeks! Only behind The Beatles' 59 weeks, Rihanna's 60 weeks, and Mariah Carey's over 90 weeks!]

[Sunflower 3 weeks, Blindness 10 weeks (3 weeks before the release of Miss Issuer + 7 weeks after the Old Town Road points decline), Senorita 6 weeks, Old Town Road 15 weeks, Mood 2 weeks, Circles 1 week, Save Tears 1 week, Show Me 3 weeks, Industrial Baby 3 weeks, Slide Step 4 weeks, Stuck With U 1 week, STAY 1 week]

[Dragon's music is getting worse and worse. His songs are so similar to his old ones; I'd believe he'd released them years ago. Can't he at least improve? He can't just rest on his laurels after dominating for 18 years, can he? Learn from Shen Juan, who just finished dominating 2019 and immediately wants to dominate 2020!]

From streaming viewership to Billboard, Shen Juan has almost completely overtaken Drake this year.

This makes the title of "King of Streaming Media" given to Shen Juan'an by foreign media even more deserving and beyond dispute!

[The most outrageous thing is that many of Leviathan's singles actually had the potential to stay at number one for a long time. After all, many times the ones suppressing them were their own people. If Shen Juan didn't release an album, but instead released a single every month, he might have really forced Billboard to change its rules overnight to restrict Shen Juan.]

【瓦倦最牛逼的不是冠50周，而是他从去年2月26号开始，用不同歌曲（盲光小姐老城路Mood）一直统治到了10月8号才被蟑螂新歌空冠终结，历史上没人能达到这个成就！2019年百分百属于沈倦！】

If it weren't for Ariana Grande and The Cockroaches at their peak, Shen Juan could have combined his three-week reign at the top of the charts with "Sunflower" at the beginning of the year and "Circles" at the end of October, making his reign on the Billboard Hot 100 even more impressive.

Sigh. Song Xinran felt it was a bit of a pity.

Ariana Grande is just a partner of Tikkyu.

When Juanjuan first joined Republic Records as a live-in son-in-law, he frequently created CP (couple pairing) rumors and rode on Ariana Grande's popularity.

So they immediately turned the gun on the other person.

This wretched cockroach ruined all my good plans!
So ugly!
I hope Kylie Jenner breaks up with you soon!

[Do you want to predict how many weeks "Tired" will stay at number one this year? It's already been 12 weeks, and if "STAY" continues to be this popular, it'll probably stay at number one for a very long time, barring any unforeseen circumstances. I'm really looking forward to "Sisyphus" being released the day after tomorrow!]

The last comment did remind Song Xinran.
Amidst the grueling training day and night, let's not forget Shen Juan's upcoming new album, "Sisyphus."

As a fan, wanting to hear new songs is one aspect.

On the other hand, this highly anticipated album directly determines whether Shen Juan can smoothly advance to the next stage.

Although his singles have already achieved phenomenal success.

He has almost reached the pinnacle of single-singer artistry; no one in this era can rival his commercial success with a single.

I thought it was just a flash in the pan.

Unexpectedly, the epiphyllum blooming became his norm.

But singers ultimately still need albums to make a living.

The album is far more valuable than the single!
Because this better reflects the singer's overall skill level.

As for why this album is called Sisyphus
That's how she understood it.

Aside from the tedious Grammy acceptance speech, is there another possibility that it's like Sisyphus pushing the boulder?

Every number one on the charts is a new stone.

He's always setting records.

Yet at the same time, it is bound by the record.

But he remained steadfast in repeating the same work, pursuing records, and fighting against the absurdity of the world.

Therefore, as a fan who constantly draws energy from her idol to improve herself, Song Xinran felt that she should lend Shen Juan a hand three days later.

So she made up her mind.

Once the album is released, we must go all out to make this mysterious album, which has entered the public eye so early, an important symbol and a landmark of this special period!

Shen Juan deserves all support, trust, and love!
