Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 519 Humiliation by Stomping on the Head, Head-on Explosion

After the movie screening, the post-screening Q&A session began.

Staff members quickly went on stage and set up a row of chairs in the center of the stage for the main creative team to sit in, creating a simple interview area.

Director Han Yan led the main creative team onto the stage.

The male lead is Shen Juan, the female lead is Zhou Ye and Tian Xiwei, Deng Chao makes a special appearance, and the screenwriter is a soulless tool.

As soon as the group, dressed in the white T-shirts worn by the God of Love, appeared on stage, the audience erupted in thunderous cheers and screams.

"Come on, come on, Juanjuan, stand in the middle!"

Han Yan smiled and reached out to push Shen Juan towards the center position, then gestured for the two female leads, Zhou Ye and Tian Xiwei, to stand on either side of him.

Shen Juan is alright.

Anyway, he's used to standing in the center position.

But this put the two younger women, Sister Tian and Xiao Ye, in an awkward position.

They dared not let Han Yan and Deng Chao play second fiddle to them.

Deng Chao noticed their awkwardness, so he chuckled and stepped aside, urging them with a smile, "Our matchmaking team needs to stand properly! At least 99% of the audience here today are here for you, so don't stand back and forth. Meeting the audience's needs is the top priority!"

"Yes! If I and Brother Chao stand in the middle and separate the three of you, then the fans and the audience will probably really have a problem with it."

Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say.

Shen Juan took his place in the center. Zhou Ye, to his left, nervously tidied her hair, while Tian Xiwei, to his right, waved enthusiastically to the audience with the air of a big star. She had Tian Jie's signature AI fake smile and Pinky's cool and sassy vibe from the drama, which drew cheers and screams.

Song Xinran and Dai Yanni, sitting in the audience, watched everything that was happening on stage silently. They felt that Zhou Ye was the same both on and off screen, with a gentle and kind demeanor like a girl next door, completely unlike the fierce and cruel Wei Lai she had played before. Tian Xiwei was also very similar to Shen Nianwei, whom she played in the drama.

However, perhaps influenced by rumors circulating in the fandom and Tian Jie's usual volatile behavior, they viewed this fake-smiling girl with prejudice. They felt that she was trying too hard to create a persona, and that her desire to perform was a bit too strong, as if she really wanted to use this role to redeem herself!
Their ambition and drive are too strong!
He looks almost exactly like Shen Juan did two or three years ago.

As for Shen Juan...
He's still so handsome.

One look, and my heart softened.

I took a couple of glances and my legs started trembling.

Look three times, and you'll see a crowd.

Knowing Shen Juan too early, and witnessing his beauty too early, will prevent you from ever truly falling in love with another man in your life.

No woman, I mean no woman with normal sexual orientation and aesthetic sense, could resist making Shen Juan's mistakes and causing trouble!
Although the above are relatively exaggerated statements from fans, they are enough to reflect how impactful Shen Juan is to girls!

A seemingly aloof bad boy, a manipulative and manipulative woman, a mature and reliable daddy, and a gentle and sincere first love boyfriend.

His public persona seems to be able to switch at will.

He did everything he could to seduce women.

The value of this statement continues to rise.

(Little Tiger: I completely agree with that!)
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the host and the creative team moved on to an interactive segment where people could randomly select others to share their thoughts after watching the film.

Shen Juan casually swept his playful gaze across the area where the celebrity guests were gathered, and like a middle school teacher, he pointed out the student who dared not meet his eyes the most: "When we were watching the movie just now, especially the part where Pinky's ex-boyfriend was being set up, I heard the loudest laughter coming from Teacher Cheng He's side. Why don't you tell us about it first?"

When his name was called, Cheng He could only stand up with a helpless smile, and out of consideration for safety, he didn't even take off his mask.

"To be honest, during the first half of the movie, I thought it was a romantic comedy, but it made me laugh and cry at the same time. The part you just mentioned, where the male lead does something indescribable on a motorcycle to set Pinky's ex-boyfriend up, I really burst out laughing. But I believe everyone felt the same way."

"Then at the end of the movie, when the male lead sacrifices his life to save Xiao Ye—oh wait, Xiao You—and acts as her matchmaker, my husband secretly wiped away tears. So I think what's great about this movie is that it's sweet, funny, and touching, weaving in a lot of emotions. It's really great!"

"Thank you, Uncle." Shen Juan and Tian Xiwei, the two members of the Mushroom House family, said in unison, following the Mushroom House family tree, and thanked them with smiles.

The audience burst into laughter.

Cheng He couldn't stop laughing when he heard this nickname.

But I couldn't help feeling a little smug.

Why does Shi Yi call me "Uncle"?

How prestigious would it be to say that?
Next up was Xue Zhiqian: "The scene that impressed me most in this movie was when the male lead met the female lead and the German Shepherd they raised together. When I saw Shen Juan cry, I burst into tears instantly. Our movie star Shen's emotional impact is so strong! Thumbs up for Shen Juan and everyone in the crew!"

"Actually, I prefer you to call me Dr. Shen rather than 'Best Actor'," Shen Juan said, picking up the microphone and making a small self-deprecating joke.

In fact, when celebrities face negative comments, they often have to show a magnanimous attitude and let those haters know that doing so will not have any effect on them, and only then will the controversy gradually subside.

Peng Yuchang also raised his hand, his tone filled with excitement: "What impressed me the most was Aru! That dog was such a good actor! And Xiao Ye, when you were crying all the time, the fans next to me were saying they felt sorry for you. I think you and Teacher Shen Juan had great chemistry, just like childhood sweethearts falling in love!"

Zhou was a little shy from the compliment and bowed his head to thank her.

I'm so happy! Thumbs up for Peng Peng!
Shen Juan turned to look at her (even when looking at a telephone pole, Shen Juan's gaze was full of affection, so in the eyes of the audience, his eyes were particularly doting), then raised the microphone and added with a smile: "Xiao Ye is actually just like Xiao You in private. She is a very gentle and lovely girl, which is very similar to the character in the play. In a way, it can indeed be called a natural performance."

The fans in the audience immediately erupted in cheers.

So sweet!

This is exactly what I wanted!

Compared to forcing viewers to consume overly sweet industrial saccharin, these subtle sweet details are the most appealing!
Sister Tian was already gritting her teeth in her heart.

She had always thought that Peng Yuchang was on her side.

But now it seems like he's just a fence-sitter!
There's a reason why the fan community calls him the chief eunuch!
This feeling of betrayal fueled her anger!

But Pengpeng also had his own reasons and considerations.

What kind of opportunist is this? What kind of chief eunuch is this?

I am clearly and unwaveringly supporting Brother Juan!

Brother Juan is the source of my power in the Chinese entertainment industry!
Brother Juan is my guarantee of success!

Only Brother Juan can keep my absolute loyalty!
Everything else was just pretense and pretense.

And
If Brother Juan needs to fetch water, why shouldn't I?

Am I really going to put all my eggs in one basket?

What do you women take me for? Do you think you can make me do anything for you by just tossing a bone on the ground?
How can it be?

You're not Brother Juan!

The bones you threw were as delicious as the ones Brother Juan threw.

Could you please provide some transaction details?
After Peng Peng sat down, Shen Juan called on several more celebrities and internet personalities to stand up one after another, such as Angelina Jolie, Dasha Taran, and Lana to answer questions. They either shared the funny moments from watching the movie or expressed their feelings about the touching parts of the characters. Their sincere remarks drew applause from the audience from time to time.

The atmosphere at the scene became increasingly lively.

However, due to the influence of loyalty, there weren't many celebrity colleagues who made a special trip to the premiere in Shanghai to show their support.

So the fan interaction segment started very quickly.

The host stepped off the stage, first eliciting cheers from the fans, and then randomly selecting lucky audience members through a scrolling screen.

The first person chosen was a boy wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt. He gripped the microphone excitedly and said, "Director Han Yan, hello! After watching the movie, I found the setting of the prayer beads in the underworld particularly interesting. Doing good deeds turns them white, and doing bad deeds turns them black. I would like to ask if this setting was planned from the beginning?"

Han Yan nodded, took the microphone from the host, and replied in a deep voice: "Actually, it was based on some traditional folk customs and some fantasy adaptations, just to make the concept of Yin De, which has been passed down for thousands of years, more intuitive. The main force in setting up the script is our male protagonist, Shen Juan."

After saying that, he felt it was inappropriate, so he added: "Of course, the reason we made this movie is not to promote feudal superstition. Our goal is to present a fantasy love story and see if it can be spread overseas so that overseas audiences can understand our traditional culture and folk legends."

Such rule-breaking behavior always needs to be explained, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with if someone with ulterior motives tries to manipulate public opinion.

Shen Juan led the applause.

Immediately afterwards, the entire audience in the screening room applauded, clearly proud of the film's international cultural export.

The second lucky audience member was a girl with her hair in a bun and red eyes. She spoke with a sob in her voice: "Hello, Teacher Shen Juan, I'm Zhang Yaqi! When you met Aru and Xiaoyou on the road and they regained their memories of their past lives, I burst into tears instantly, almost at the same time as you. What I want to say is that your acting skills in that scene absolutely live up to the title of Best Actor. So I want to ask you, how did you get into character and embody the emotions when you were filming that scene?"

“That depends on each actor’s performance system.” Shen Juan thought for a moment and replied seriously, “But for me personally, I will try my best to recall those beautiful experiences, and then shatter them all in my mind. The clearer those beautiful fragments are, the more real the pain after they are shattered will be.”

"Then I have another question or request."

"You said."

"Well... I'm taking the bar exam next month, and I failed it last year, so Professor Shen Juan, could you wish me good luck on the exam?" Zhang Yaqi's eyes were full of anticipation.

Shen Juan smiled and said, "Then I wish Zhang Yaqi all the best in getting good grades on both the objective and subjective questions!"

Zhang Yaqi sat down with her cheeks burning. While being a law student, she was also working in social media, so she immediately decided to record everything she saw and heard at the premiere and post it on her social media account.

She wanted everyone to know just how wonderful Shen Juan was!

When it was the third lucky audience member's turn, a girl wearing glasses suddenly jumped up while holding up a support sign for Zhou Ye.

"Yay! I'm your fan! I have a little wish: could you imitate that happy puppy meme? You know, the Samoyed smiling meme!"

“Okay, okay!” Zhou Ye rarely meets his fans offline, so of course he wouldn’t refuse such a simple request.

The staff brought the fan's pre-prepared emoji images to the stage, and Shen Juan helped hold them up and adjust the angle.

"Oh, so that's what it is."

This was the first time he had ever seen this meme.

"Isn't it cute?" Zhou Ye asked with a smile.

"cute."

"Jianjuan, do you think I look a lot like a Samoyed?"

"Whether it's similar or not, I can only say it's somewhat similar."

Shen Juan paused deliberately, and seeing that she still had that innocent and adorable look with her big eyes, he smiled and finished the rest of his sentence: "But they are all really cute."

Zhou Ye then widened her eyes slightly, satisfied, and mimicked the emoji, smiling sweetly.

Tian Xiwei felt neglected by the two of them and was a little jealous, so she came over and made a cute face.

Fans in the audience raised their phones to take pictures.

Many people find the images of the three of them together beautiful, and the harmonious atmosphere they create is captivating. It's as if they are old friends who have known each other for many years.

However, some people felt that Sister Tian was being a bit deliberate.

They clearly had a bad relationship; they just had a public falling out on Happy Camp a while ago, pulling each other's hair and even getting into a physical fight. How could they possibly make up so quickly?

Does Shen Juan's Dior really have such magic that it can make all the women who have been investigated get along peacefully?
It can't be that exaggerated, right?

The last lucky audience member claimed to be a fan of Sister Tian.

She smiled and asked Sister Tian, ​​"Xiao Tian, ​​at the end of the movie, you were running around trying to save your love rival, but you knew that the price of doing so was the life of the person you love. That scene was very touching. I would like to ask you what your feelings were like when you filmed that scene? I'm very curious."

After thinking for a moment and organizing her thoughts, Tian Xiwei took the microphone from Shen Juan and answered readily: "Actually, from my personal point of view, I mean from the perspective of Shen Nianwei's character, she definitely doesn't want to save her love rival. She does have selfish motives because she only likes Aze."

"But it is precisely because she only loves Aze that she does her best to complete the task Aze asked her to do. She doesn't want to disappoint Aze. She is such a girl who dares to love and hate. Fortunately, the ending is not bad. She and Aze eventually meet in the next life and are tied together by the God of Love."

"So, what do you think you and the character Shen Nianwei have in common? I mean, you acted really well!"

"Thank you. Are you trying to say I'm just playing myself?"

"Yeah, right!"

“That’s right, I’m just playing myself!” Sister Tian proudly puffed out her chest, like a victorious Hakimi showing off his triumph. “Because everyone knows that I don’t have much acting experience and my acting skills are a bit weak, Juanjuan tailored this role for me to take care of me.”

"I see. So, Xiaotian, you mean the prototype for the character Shen Nianwei is actually yourself?"

"Yes! I was playing myself for those few months, so of course I was very good at it!" Xiaotian laughed from the bottom of her heart, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to her best friend who wore a mask and pretended to be a fan, silently helping her out.

That assist was so timely and so incredibly powerful!

That's incredibly powerful!
It's true that your own people are the most trustworthy!

Xiao Lu, you're such a good friend!

Best friends forever!

I'll definitely ask you to be a shill for the next movie premiere!
The premiere started at 8 p.m. and ended at 11 p.m.

When Shen Juan finished all his media interviews and social activities with old friends backstage, and took Xiaoye Tianjie back to the top-floor river-view duplex he had previously bought for 1.9 million yuan in OCT Suhewan, it was already midnight.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, a nationwide roadshow is not possible.

The film's promotional efforts are primarily conducted through online channels.

This means they don't need to get up early for work tomorrow.

Tonight, let's go all out and fight to our hearts' content!
So Sister Tian and Xiao Ye hurriedly ran to take a shower, afraid that if they came out late, the other would get to eat Dior first.

But Shen Juan wasn't in a hurry to take a shower.

On the one hand, if they really couldn't wait, they would come in on their own when he went into the bathroom to take a shower and start a desperate battle.

Sister Tian has had similar experiences before.

I took three showers in one night: once before the battle, once because I couldn't wait to start the battle, and once after the battle.

On the other hand, it's because the news he's currently focusing on is also very important, preventing him from getting distracted.

The latest Billboard Hot 100 is out.

With the help of fans, STAY successfully defeated Cardi B to reclaim the crown and continues its race towards the top of the era.

This is indeed a rare piece of good news.

No one can resist challenging historical records.

But what really excited Shen Juan and his fans wasn't defeating Cardi B and reclaiming the throne, but rather kicking Duck to death head-on!
That's right, Drake and Lil Durk's collaboration "Laugh Now Cry Later" only dropped to number three this week.

Not to mention Cardi B's "Wap" released last week, it hasn't even done that, let alone "STAY" which was released almost four months ago!
This is such a huge loss of face!
The Canadian streaming king, who once boasted that he treated Billboard like an amusement park, is like a stray dog ​​in front of the new GenZ king.

He could have just kicked someone to death while passing by.

They are no longer singers of the same level.

Let me briefly mention the points of the top three.

"STAY" ranked third on the streaming chart with 65 million downloads, first on the digital download chart with 51,000 downloads, and seventh on the radio chart.

WAP ranked first on the streaming chart with 7220 million downloads, second on the digital download chart with 3.6 downloads, and 48th on the radio chart.

Drake's new song ranked second on the streaming chart with 6380 million downloads, third on the digital download chart with 1.8 downloads, and 50th on the radio chart.

(There are various types of streaming media, some valuable and some not, so it's not a direct comparison of numbers. Also, the data on Duck has been weakened to some extent because not all people in North America are mindless idiots. Naturally, many people will lose their support because Duck fights based on his skin color.)

Faced with this situation, many fans and netizens took to social media to express their thoughts and opinions.

[Alex's "STAY" returning to number one is absolutely amazing! This is a reward for the united efforts of fans worldwide! But what's the most satisfying part? The most satisfying part is that it pushed Drake's new song to third place! Remember how Drake's fans made a big fuss about the BLM controversy, accusing Alex of fabricating racial knight data? But now it's almost autumn, and their trusted king is being completely crushed by an old song released in the spring. Alex is utterly dominating him. Drake is now like a clown driven to despair by jealousy of others' achievements. We can't wait to see how Drake responds.]

Drake has played so many singles matches this year without winning a title, so it's understandable that he's frustrated. But the cruel and cold reality is right in front of us: this is no longer his era. And now I finally understand completely that the reason 2018 belonged to Drake was entirely because Alex had just come to the US to develop his career, which allowed him to steal a year's achievements. If Alex had come a few years earlier, Drake's career would probably have been much darker.

[Holyshxt! Alex has completely humiliated Drake this time! Seeing STAY's ratings drop, and being overshadowed by WAP last week, he rushed to release a song to try and reap the rewards, but the new song flopped completely—1.8 downloads? Less than half of Alex's! Now the whole US is unfollowing you. Enjoy being washed up, you dark-hearted, narcissistic Canadian loser! You were never a legend; you were just a fraud whose hypocrisy was exposed! I think Kendrick Lamar and The Weeknd can vouch for me!]

[Drake doesn't really think Billboard is his backyard, does he? Alex's appearance showed him who the real god of the streaming era is! It's normal for WAP's streaming numbers to be high right after its release, but STAY's overall numbers are much stronger. Drake's failure is normal. Although he successfully used BLM as a weapon to take down Alex last time, everyone is now unfollowing him like crazy because of his fake activism. This petty, effeminate guy deserves to fail! I've disliked this perverted guy for a long time.]

Drake's actions this year are absolutely hilarious! Remember when you were hiding behind the BLM movement, secretly attacking and smearing Alex? Now your streaming is a mess, your download numbers are a joke, and even radio stations are ignoring you. Drake is just a washed-up clown who uses social movements as weapons; it's pathetic.

[It turns out Americans aren't blind! Drake, this self-proclaimed white supremacist, still has the nerve to use his skin color to his advantage? He even secretly excludes dissidents. Now, being completely crushed is the best retribution! STAY has been running for over a quarter and is still at number one, while Drake's streaming performance in his first week was barely comparable. And he dares to call himself the streaming emperor? He should be renamed "Street Dog." Being slaughtered by Alex was so satisfying! The new GenZ king is awesome, kicking out the old garbage!]

Alovers is relentlessly clearing out enemies on the front lines.

They used to boast so much, acting all high and mighty.
Is this the result?

How could it break so easily?
How did I end up living like a stray dog ​​on the street?
What last name does Billboard take now?

Whose playground is Billboard now?
What is Drake?

He was just an ordinary person born in an era without Shen Juan.

Netizens, enjoying the spectacle, are fanning the flames.

They don't care who wins or loses.

They don't care which side represents justice.

They're only good at following the crowd and kicking someone when they're down.

They only enjoy the most intense emotional expression!
Even the Wakanda netizens who had previously supported Duck's fight against Shen Juan have now disappeared.

After all, male ducks aren't their favorite animal.

The male duck was indeed using them to attack Shen Juan.

But aren't they also using the knife that the male duck brought to seek privileges and benefits for the entire Hey people?
Therefore, based on the principle of using and discarding, they have no reason to go against the tide to help a compatriot with black skin and white heart.

After all, Wakanda is also divided into different classes.

Drake is undoubtedly one of those white people who are close to the white population, so naturally he cannot gain the support of the people of Wakanda.

Leave the comments section and put down your phone.

Shen Juan took a deep breath, stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and stood quietly looking down at the perfect night view of Shanghai.

Countless dazzling street scenes combine to create this dreamlike and serene spectacle.

Should you feel happy about stepping on a male duck's head to humiliate it?

He is indeed very happy now.

I felt just as happy as when I gave Kris a concussion.

But undeniably, he was still somewhat melancholy.

Fame and reputation are like the sun, hanging high in the sky, constantly radiating light and illuminating all things in the world.

The closer you get, the brighter it shines.

But if you get too close, you will be burned or engulfed.

Britney Spears is like this, Justin Bieber is like this, and Taylor Swift is like this.

He did this, and so did Drake, who attacked him.

Every world-renowned and well-known singer has been fighting and struggling with their reputation on their musical journey.

The vast majority of them are lost along the way, and only a small number are able to undergo a transformative rebirth and metamorphosis.

This is like the tribulation lightning before ascension in a fantasy novel.

If you can get through this, you can enter a completely new phase.

If you can't withstand it, you will perish and vanish into nothingness.

But isn't there a saying that goes something like this?
Pop singers often deliver their most spectacular performances during the period when they are still struggling to achieve fame and success.

Miracles can only be achieved through constant pressure, struggle, and challenges beyond one's own capabilities.

Popular culture is also writing these difficult chapters.

It is a cruel kind of romance in itself.

Shen Juan was already well aware of this.

Now, having experienced the backlash of reputation, I have gained a deeper understanding and appreciation of this statement.

Therefore, there is no time to worry about gains and losses.

As a fame-seeking pilgrim, he was prepared to seize and reclaim his reputation at all costs.

Then, preparations to overturn the entire world.
