Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 491 The Song of Life, The Black Tide Strikes

6 month 1 number.

A day that brings joy and happiness to children all over the world.

Although Zhou Xinyu, who just turned 18 last week, seems to have lost the right to celebrate Children's Day.

But she believes that as long as you keep a childlike heart, you can celebrate Children's Day no matter where you are or how old you are!

And most importantly
Her favorite celebrity, Shen Juan, updated his social media early this morning, saying: "Everyone in this world has the right to celebrate Children's Day. None of us should feel ashamed of it. We should be mature, brave, strong, and fearless adults, and also happy, carefree children."

She thought that statement made perfect sense!
Many of Shen Juan's words struck a chord deep within her!

So, inspired by her idol, she gathered her best friends, who didn't have to face the pressure of the college entrance exam, and used the time they spent taking online classes at home to visit various popular online shops, as if to continue celebrating her coming-of-age birthday or to start her wonderful vacation early.

And so, they strolled along, stopping here and there, until they arrived at a popular restaurant that had become famous because Shen Juan had checked in on Weibo.

While waiting for her food, she aimlessly scrolled through her phone.

I opened Weibo and browsed through several marketing accounts that had just released secret information about the contestants of "Sister-in-Law 202".

[HLX's fans don't need to be sad. She ranked tenth because she had to film a movie with Shen Juan, and she wouldn't have time if she joined the group.]

Not counting the two female leads in "The Matchmaker", this seems to be the first time that the sister-in-law has filmed a drama with Shen Juan as the female lead!

Ugh, so annoying!

How could that wicked woman Hu be so evil!
Just being able to eat Shen Juan's food once is enough!
Why don't you know when to stop while you're ahead?

Why are you so greedy to still act with him?

Do you really need to be penetrated by Shen Juan for months on end before you're satisfied? You're utterly shameless!
Jealousy caused Zhou Xinyu to break down.

[On the night of JZH's debut, she updated her Weibo saying it was the happiest day of her life so far! Fans were very touched, but some observant netizens noticed that the background of her Weibo selfie was the same as HLX's Weibo selfie, indicating that they have a very good relationship and even sleep together after the show.]

If only the infatuated woman Hu were a woman named Nü Tong.

That way they won't compete with me for Shen Juan!

what?
Why should I, a fan, steal Shen Juan's thunder?
Hehe! How did you know I successfully added Song Zuer on WeChat on my birthday and was about to enter Shen Juan's fishpond?

what?
Song Zuer is notorious for taking money and not doing anything.
Then I'll take a step back. I don't need to go straight into the fishpond, but I should be able to get the qualification to become a trainee in Starlink, right?
[zta and glnz really have a bad relationship; you could tell from their appearance together on CCTV's May Day Gala earlier this month.]

This is genuinely hilarious.

Zhou Xinyu's memory is still fresh in her mind.

These two women didn't interact at all on stage; they each sang their own songs. If it weren't for CCTV's stage, she even suspected that they would have rolled their eyes at each other and given each other attitudes.

[glnz and zy recently became friends through iQiyi's "I Like You Too 2," and they're even neighbors in the same building! ZTA is unhappy about this, as she and zy will be collaborating on Tencent's "The Sword and the Brocade" soon. It's unclear how zy will handle this situation.]

I wish my home was also in Vanke 108.
In that case, if I wait downstairs at Shen Juan's place every day, I can surely create a "chance encounter," right?

[Some netizens have claimed that CX's status on Running Man is even higher than CXK's, and many regular MCs have to be mindful of her mood. As an industry insider with certain sources, I'm here to clarify: this isn't false. Many people don't dare to easily offend CX out of respect for Super Junior.]

This is what happened to 951, who was using someone else's power to bully others.

Countless people in the industry envy her.

Of course, she, an outsider, was equally envious.

[Sister Fireworks will be joining the cast of Daylight Entertainment's serious drama project "When We Meet Again" soon, and her co-star will be ZYX.]

Holy crap! Fireworks Girl is having so much fun!
Not only can it help me sleep when I'm tired, it can also help me get on the good side!
This is going to be a double success!

[His status as a sasaeng fan and resource-driven celebrity is now completely confirmed. Of the three dramas he's acted in since his debut, two were directed by the national director, and one was directed by Super Junior.]

Zhou Xinyu gets angry whenever Liu Haocun is mentioned!

Damn sasaeng fans!

Why should I have to spend money to go through Song Zuer's channels to try for a vague possibility, while you can directly act with Shen Juan and spend time with him and have close contact with him?

You Maslow!

My cousin is currently filming the Tencent historical drama "The Long Ballad" in Hengdian, starring DLRB and Wu Lei. Based on leaked photos from the set, DLRB seems to be taking good care of her; they often chat together. This is because she feels my cousin is the key to getting into Super Junior's fishpond!

These rumors have been circulating for years, and they still haven't gotten together?

D8 is someone she really loves!
[Fans photographed SZN leaving for a hotel late at night, seemingly to meet her boyfriend who is not in the entertainment industry. Super Junior is furious and has decided to freeze her out of the spotlight!]

All I can say is that he died a good death!
Any woman who tries to steal my man deserves to die! Get her blacklisted and banned—all sorts of things planned!
Then, after exiting Weibo and opening Douban, Zhou Xinyu had a friendly exchange with a few haters who were belittling Shen Juan.

In front of relatives, friends, teachers and classmates, she is a lively, cheerful, gentle, kind and good girl from a well-to-do family.

Online, she's known as the tough and ruthless Sister Juan!

Juanjuan is so good, why are you criticizing him?
He has given so much to the country and to society, so why do you scum have the right to belittle his achievements?
Therefore, we can no longer treat these wild dogs, sour chickens, stinking maggots, and sword tombs with the same friendly attitude we would show to ordinary people.

Must hit hard!
Throw a powerful punch!
No one can hurt Shen Juan before she falls!
nobody!
Then, on the homepage of Bilibili, she found a fan-made video clip with an attractive cover and title.

The cover features a stunning image of Parisian fireworks.

Zhou Xinyu's heart sank instantly!
No matter how many times I've seen him before, I still can't help but fall for him again when we meet once more!

so.
What do pop stars of this era actually look like?

It's very simple, just like Chang Shenjuan.

Shen Juan's sudden emergence gave many people a concrete embodiment of the standards and criteria for a pop superstar.

He is the standard of a superstar!

Then the video title is...
"Win him over, cyberbully him for a month, and you'll be happy for life."

The content is nothing more than some clips that showcase charm.

He's really handsome!

She is definitely sexy!

But is it really as the title suggests?
Is it really only for a month that I'll be cyberbullied?
If taking him down only results in a month of cyberbullying, then Sister Tian, ​​who has been cyberbullied for three years, is probably going to start cursing on Weibo!
While silently complaining to herself, Zhou Xinyu browsed the humorous comments in the comment section that made people laugh.

Time came to 12 noon.

Zhou Xinyu's phone suddenly vibrated, which meant that the idol he followed had some new updates.

When she looked back at the lit phone screen, she found that it was just as she had predicted.
Shen Juan's previously announced new song, "You're On Your Own, Kid," has been released!
So the excited girl quickly clicked play.

"Summer went away, still the yearning stays."

Summer has quietly passed, but longing remains.

"I play it cool with the best of them."

During that precious time, I pretended not to care at all.

"I wait patiently, he's gonna notice me."

I waited patiently, knowing he would eventually notice me.

"It's ok, we're the best of friends."

Don't be nervous, we are the best of friends.

Without any prelude, the opening lines immediately captivate the listener.

Although the melody is simple, as long as you can understand the lyrics, you can discover the infinite power contained within it!
I'm not lying.

He actually used the letters from fans all over the world that he collected to write a song that brought warmth and emotion to his fans!
After listening to the entire song for just three minutes...
Zhou Xinyu opened the comments section to see what other fans and netizens thought of the new song and Shen Juan himself.

You absolutely can't imagine how it felt to hear this song on my 18th birthday! This song may not become a blockbuster like STAY, but for me, it's even more important than STAY. It's the song of my life! Let me show you the friendship bracelet I made myself!

Being an Alovers member these past few days has been amazing! A new album, a documentary, a discarded track EP, and now this single written for us... I really, really love this song! I'm graduating and starting work soon, and I'm reluctant to leave my hometown, so I'm using this song to encourage myself.

The bad news is: the mountains are high and the rivers are long, you'll have to rely on yourself from now on; the good news is: the sea is vast and the sky is wide, it will all belong to you from now on. Listening to the song really touched me. In this era of material abundance, the spirit is often extremely impoverished, and Shen Juan's appearance perfectly fills this gap.

[I absolutely love this song! From beginning to end, it's like a rising tide, wave after wave. You don't feel it, but before you know it, the water has reached your chest. In the final moment, it's like a flood bursting forth, overwhelming you. That exhilarating feeling is so powerful, I'd call it the national anthem of Alex!]

Listening to this song felt like being gently stroked on the head by Juanjuan, comforting me that everything from the past is okay, and that from now on we'll take it one step at a time! I cried my eyes out at home! This song is a redemption and a reflection on my life! He's still writing songs for those who are lost.

At just 22 years old, he works tirelessly, striving to break down barriers of age, race, nationality, language, and era to embrace this wounded world through music. He always underestimates himself; his abilities far exceed the limitations of his age. With "You're On Your Own, Kid," he embraces everyone about to embark on a journey or lost in confusion! Even as the world continues to hurt him, he still tries to warm it. He's truly wonderful! I will always love Shen Juan!

Every time I see the comments section of Juanjuan's songs, I feel that he deserves to be so popular. His songs and he himself bring so much comfort, emotional support, and the strength to get back up after falling down. This accumulated emotional bond is the key reason why his fans are so loyal!

Help! Listening to the whole song brought back so many memories! Some were mine, but most were of Shen Juan. I love him so much! I remember every single experience and story from his past! This is Shen Juan's life, and his legendary chapter continues to be written.

Seeing these heartfelt comments full of genuine emotion, Zhou Xinyu, who is already very empathetic, couldn't help but tear up.

Although she felt embarrassed to suddenly burst into tears in public, isn't there a saying that goes something like this?
Empathy and sensitivity are essential qualities of outstanding artists.

So for someone aspiring to become an idol and destined to enter the entertainment industry, this is a good thing!

She already possesses the potential to succeed.

Well, that seems to be the only way she can comfort herself.

But no matter what, the emotion that Shen Juan brought to herself and all her fans through this single is undeniable.

He truly became the only light in the hearts of many during this dark and bleak period.

Therefore, Li Na's cross is correct.

Shen Juan changed everything, and we should all be grateful that we were born in an era that belonged to Shen Juan!

Shen Juan is the beacon in the hearts of millions of Alovers!
He brings warmth, inspiration, and encouragement to people.

For his fans,
He really means a lot, he means everything!
After personally overseeing the promotion ceremony for Da Ni from northern Myanmar, Shen Juan returned to the capital to continue handling the remaining work.

Meanwhile, the Black Minggui movement was also intensifying across the ocean.

This not only sparked nationwide protests, but also led to the "Black Tuesday" event on June 2nd, attracting numerous celebrities and public figures from Europe and America to participate.

Including but not limited to Rihanna, Beckham, Emma Watson, Mariah Carey, Katy Perry, Tom Holland, Cardi B, Chris Hemsworth, and Timothée Chalamet.
Originally, this matter had absolutely nothing to do with Shen Juan.

After all, he is in China.

And he is an Asian.

Normally, the rhythm of the game is none of his business, and it's not his place as an Asian to discriminate against people.

But who can blame him for being so popular right now?

Who told him to touch on the interests of certain people?

Who told him to know Da Zhangwei and have a criminal record?

So the scheming rats in the gutter started to exert their influence.

First, some media outlets claimed that Shen Juan, as the undisputed leading pop superstar in the music scene today, was completely unconcerned about such an important international situation that even swept the globe. The Hei Minggui incident had been burning on social media for a week, yet he was unwilling to speak out for the African American community who suffered at the hands of the Knights.

It's a disgrace to his fame and influence! Then someone rehashed the old news, digging up the controversy that erupted between Shen Juan and Da Zhangwei.

This controversy has already been clarified.

Even those media outlets and celebrities who took advantage of the situation and kicked people when they were down were later purged by Alovers.

But the world is not static.

There will always be someone willing to challenge the prestige of the world's number one male.

There will always be some unwise people who are fooled and deceived, or who willingly become weapons of the media.

Therefore, coupled with the heat of this super-large event sweeping the country, many people were indeed ignited by the media that had been instructed to do so, and vented all the negative emotions they had accumulated over the years due to injustice on Shen Juan, an outsider from across the ocean.

Shen Juan's public image in North America has suffered the biggest blow to his career to date!
It's reminiscent of how Shen Juan forcefully banned Jolin and then used public opinion to force Bago to open a Weibo account to express his stance.

Can these two things be the same?

When Shen Juan saw his social media comment section flooded with angry messages from American netizens, his first thought was...
There are so many amazing people out there!

I'm so damn rough!
That's pretty bizarre.

Dude, I only came to North America for the first time when I was 19. What do I care about the injustices you guys suffered and the Cavaliers you were beaten?

Are you out of your mind?
You just believe whatever the media says!

If I come to North America in the future, will I need to go to the Three Kingdoms Kill headquarters to borrow Zhang Renwang's Shield to carry with me in order to be immune to Black Kill?

There are so many brain-dead apes who haven't developed any intelligence!

And that’s not all.

On June 3rd, the male duck suddenly opened fire on Shen Juan.

The cause of the matter is actually quite simple.

It's simply that their new albums were released in the same month, and Sisyphus ended up completely outplaying Duck, causing him to lose face.

Even Shen Juan's subsequent EP of abandoned songs and this single written for his fans achieved impressive streaming results.

Well, even these two insignificant things outperformed Drake's new album in terms of average 24-hour views.

then
A Billboard feature article reported that the "battle for the top spot on the Republic Records chart," which had been a foregone conclusion last year, came to a complete end in May of this year. Shen Juan successfully overtook Drake in multiple dimensions, and the accompanying photo was a picture of the two of them backstage at the 2019 Grammys.

Some fans even photoshopped the male duck in the group photo into a black and white image, mercilessly labeling him a loser.

then,

Having benefited from Alex's success, Spotify began recommending Sisyphus to Duck's core audience, namely urban men aged 25-35. Republic Records transferred the promotional resources originally intended for Duck to Shen Juan, and Duck's long-term mixing engineer was also poached by Shen Juan's team with a high salary.

This directly led to Drake's furious outburst at home: "That Chinese kid actually tried to steal my voice?"

(Sources told the media)
In short, due to a combination of factors, the male duck's dissatisfaction with Shen Juan became increasingly uncontrollable!

So he first reposted Shen Juan's shockingly high Spotify play count screenshot on Instagram, but very sarcastically blurred Shen Juan's name and captioned it with the cryptic message: "[He makes data interesting in this era.]"

Although the post was deleted immediately, it was still screenshotted by fans, successfully reigniting the existing discussion about "Alex's data manipulation".

Then, during a friend's live stream, he did a freestyle rap, implying that some people make a living by fabricating data using robots.

Then, he went on social media to frantically like humiliating comments from his fans that belittled Shen Juan's achievements and denied Shen Juan's value.

The Asian boy thought data and charts meant everything, but what he didn't know was that music needs a soul.

If Alex's success wasn't part of Republic Records' secret money laundering scheme, then it's a sign of cultural invasion by China.

Drake earned everything through his own hard work, while Alex's success was entirely due to his Chinese-made robot.

Alex's rise is essentially a result of white capital's support for Asian Americans; they are trying to make things even harder for Black people! Alex is the culprit behind the difficult lives of Black people! All Black people should unite to boycott Alex!

Everyone on Earth knows that the 2020 Grammy Awards were meaningless, and everyone also knows that when Drake went on stage to accept his Grammy trophy, that despicable thief from China was watching with envious and jealous eyes the person he could never surpass in his entire life.

[Alex represents the music industry? Don't fucking kid me, buddy. Aside from those idiots who like Asian faces, anyone who thinks Alex's rock songs are good is either a country bumpkin who's never seen the world, a bookworm who'll never meet a woman, a chuunibyou, or a gay guy! They all deserve to die!]

Hmm, I didn't dare to like this comment.

After all, making sweeping generalizations is too aggressive, and even if some sensitive topics get heated, people dare not easily touch them.

Even so, Drake's previous disgusting actions were enough to ignite the anger of Alovers worldwide and launch a global fan war.

[Data fabrication? That's laughable. So many people around the world click play, do you think they're all robots? His new album flopped and he's now sulking about others. This behavior truly embodies the phrase "sore loser." From this day forward, I will have absolutely no respect for Drake and his fans.]

["Music needs a soul" is an undeniable statement. Many people are qualified to say this, except for Drake, the famous pop singer. AS3 completely blew his new album apart, both commercially and musically. No wonder he's in such a hurry; his fig leaf has been torn off!]

[I know you're in a hurry, but hold on a second. YaYa is completely blinded by jealousy and has lost all sense of reason. Your actions will only boost Sisy's popularity again, won't they? So, I really advise everyone not to release an album at the same time as the music industry, because you'll suffer a terrible fate.]

[Alex just released a record-breaking album, a charity EP with all proceeds donated, and a single written for fans to heal the world, and Drake pulls this stunt on me. It's not just about commercial success; their character alone makes the difference blatantly obvious.]

[Hahaha, this is absolutely hilarious! The 2020 Grammys had no value? They had them in 2019? Drake is so hypocritical and disgusting. This whole thing just makes him look so low-class and uncultured. Why can't he be as great as Alex? This is clearly the reason.]

[Deleted Instagram post immediately, made veiled criticisms during live streams, liked negative comments. At her age, still resorting to these tactics is incredibly mean. Instead of wasting time being sour about others, she should spend that time figuring out how to write a decent single! Alex's discarded tracks can easily outshine your new album; that's the difference between you two!]

[Capital supporting Asians? Don't be ridiculous! Your current loser status isn't anyone else's fault; it's because the public is tired of your formulaic, clichéd arguments! Blaming your failures on racial barriers and capital only proves you're an irresponsible coward, a damn sissy! No wonder so many people from Lama Weir have broken ties with you; everyone knows what kind of scoundrel you are, only your fans are still blindly indulging you!]

[Some people said Drake was very insecure and therefore always sought external validation. I didn't quite believe it before, but now I do, haha! How vulnerable must he be to pull off so many amazing moves! Every single thing he said about Alex came true for him! I think Camilla should be most grateful to Drake throughout her entire career. With Drake drawing all the attention, who will care about this Cuban girl anymore?]

Many things show that Drake can be quite petty at times, not as magnanimous as he claims. He's actually a very sensitive person who easily overreacts. Because of this, I've lost count of how many former friends have parted ways with him or even broken off all ties.

[Adultery, underage behavior, illegitimate child, stealing potted plants—Drake's new song perfectly portrays a villain; his desire for control is insane! Living in his own world, believing himself to be the king, Alex's arrival shatters his illusions, making it hard for him not to break down.]

Despite Shen Juan's overwhelming lead in global core fan base, he still holds an absolute advantage when facing Drake.

But this time, the male duck was clearly prepared.

They might even have a master mentor guiding them.

His outburst seemed sudden, but in fact he chose a very opportune moment to play on his home turf!

So, by sheer force of his dark skin, he managed to climb onto the banner of racial resistance, leveraging the current popularity of this limited-time event to fight Shen Juan's Alovers to a standstill. Moreover, by gaining verbal support from a wider group of casual observers who had been brainwashed by the media, he was showing signs of suppressing them.

In response, Shen Juan asked his team how other celebrities in the Western entertainment industry react when faced with criticism from their peers.

Yang Yangjin said that most people would fight back, while only a small number would remain silent and not take action themselves.

But she reminded Shen Juan that as the undisputed number one in the world, there was no need to pay attention to such scoundrels who were just trying to ride on someone else's coattails.

Because it is a special time, speaking out rashly at this time could put his current situation in great danger.

Moreover, there are quite a few interest groups watching them from across the ocean, eager to bring them down.

This incident is a good example.

Shen Juan nodded in understanding.

After all, the higher a public figure's profile and the greater their influence, the more they need to make their words and actions perfect!
Therefore, the safest decision at present is indeed to remain silent and let the fans step in to help him seek justice, thus creating a tug-of-war.

This effectively controls the intensity of the event, allowing the public to calm down and the discussion to subside.

But he deliberately refused to do so.

Because he was never a "nice guy" in the traditional sense.

On the contrary, he has always had emotional problems.

So they've been bullied and attacked, and they don't even dare to talk back?

That's clearly not his style.

He wouldn't do something so shameful!

Admittedly, choosing to confront a top-tier superstar with black skin at this time is indeed very dangerous.

Faced with social problems that affect the entire country and even the world, any celebrity appears extremely small and powerless.

But as he said in the documentary before.
I only do what I believe is right.

Yes, this is indeed a very dangerous matter.

How about I put myself in danger?
------------

June 3rd, WeChat mini-drama.

At 9 PM, Dilraba suddenly sent me a picture of a birthday cake with candles and text: 【You'll be so hungry!】

Five minutes later, Shen Juan typed back: "Then you should video call me and turn on the front-facing camera."

Dilraba: 【！！！！！！！】

Shen Juan: [? ? ? ? ? ? ? ]

Dilraba: [How come you're so skilled at it?]

Shen Juan: [Maybe it's from being honed by other people; after all, you know I know a lot of girls.]

Reba felt a soreness in her teeth and a mix of bitterness and anger in her heart. How could this person not even know how to tell a lie to make her happy!

Emotional intelligence comes and goes.

They're clearly treating me like a toy!
They remained silent for about a minute.
Dilraba couldn't resist breaking the ice: "By the way, I just received the birthday present you gave me."

Shen Juan checked his watch and acknowledged her wait of about a minute before typing a short reply: 【Do you like it?】

Dilraba really liked the birthday gift Shen Juan gave her, but she didn't want to appear too easy to get.

[It's alright, at least you put your heart into it! But why did it take so long to arrive? I almost missed it because I went back to the hotel!]

Shen Juan: [Is it possible that I deliberately delivered it at this time, the closer to midnight the better?]

Dilraba was puzzled: [???]

Shen Juan: [Because only in this way can I keep you thinking all day about why I didn't give you a gift this year.]

Dilraba was shocked: 【！！！】

She never imagined there could be such a reason.

My god! He's so good at toying with girls' feelings.
Do I have to say you truly deserve to be called a globally renowned scumbag?
But then again, what he did
Actually, she's quite cute!

Something like making someone you like think about you all day long. It's a bit childish, but it's just so cute!

Although he has had many relationships and a chaotic love life, it doesn't change the fact that he's still a child!
Thinking so
A silly, infatuated smile gradually spread across Dilraba's face.

She felt that she had discovered another good point about Shen Juan.

That's what cuteness is.

The kind of cute that's just right!
She's cute to the core!
