Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 53 Chinese Valentine's Day
Today's filming is over, Mao De Shu organized another dinner party to celebrate in advance Shen Juan's triumphant return from winning the national championship of "China's Hip Hop". Everyone happily packed up their things and prepared to feast.

Then, I have to sigh that Uncle Mao is indeed a rare post-90s director in the circle, and he really knows how to choose a restaurant.

Basically every dinner party can satisfy everyone.

Shen Juan took this opportunity to temporarily relax his diet, which was actually not necessary for an artist who had a habit of fitness, and had a good meal.

After enjoying the delicious food, seeing that it was not too late, everyone said they wanted to go to KTV to start the second half.

Shen Juan originally wanted to go back to the hotel to prepare the song for the final of "Hip-Hop in China", but Tian Xiwei stopped him.

"Juanjuan, do you want to go to Guanggu together?"

"Will you be angry if I refuse?" Although Shen Juan said this, his action of taking a mask from his shirt pocket had already given his answer.

"I won't be angry, but I will be sad." Tian Xiwei raised the corners of her mouth happily, and her voice became a little softer.

"The kind that's hard to coax?" Shen Juan smiled.

"That's not clear, why don't you try it?" Tian Xiwei tilted her head cutely, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, her eyes emitting a hopeful light.

"Your calculations are quite impressive!"

"I can't help it. I'm just this kind of person. I say whatever I want to say. It's too tiring to keep what I want to say in my heart. I don't like this kind of internal consumption." Tian Xiwei stared into Shen Juan's eyes and said half-sedulously, "Juan Juan, don't consume yourself. It will be very tiring."

Shen Juan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Are you drunk? How did you suddenly get to this level?"

"What? You don't allow me to be sentimental once in a while?" Tian Xiwei blinked her eyes pretending to be calm.

"It seems a bit inappropriate to use the word sentimental to describe you." Shen Juan looked at the girl's face.

"I want to ask, why is it so inappropriate? Even my dog will sit at the door and be sentimental when he is in heat, why is it the same for humans?" Tian Xiwei grumbled, and her ferocious appearance looked just like Stitch.

"I understand." Shen Juan put away his smile and made a serious invitation to the cute girl who was furious, "So, Xiaotian, are you willing to be my puppy?"

"You'd better die!"

Guanggu is not far from the dinner location, and we arrived at the destination after about half an hour's drive.

"Why don't you call other people?"

After getting off the car, Shen Juan made a casual joke.

Tian Xiwei glared at Shen Juan, who had a playful look on his face, and said indignantly: "How dare you ask such a question? Are you still a human being?"

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry yet."

"You can't even tell that this is a date. I really don't know what to say to you." Tian Xiwei looked at Shen Juan as if he were a fool, shaking her head and sighing from time to time.

"I thought it was just a walk after dinner." Shen Juan directly hit the straight ball thrown by Tian Xiwei.

"Are you kidding me? Do you need to run so far for a walk after dinner? Can't you just take a walk near the hotel?" Tian Xiwei secretly watched Shen Juan out of the corner of her eye. "If a girl invites you to go shopping with her, she either likes you or wants to find an ATM to help carry her bag."

"Which one are you?" Shen Juan asked knowingly.

"Do you think I'm hard to understand?" Tian Xiwei forced a stiff fake smile and looked at Shen Juan, but saw that he just shook his head and smiled, and then looked at her with complicated eyes, and the two of them just stared at each other.

"You are not hard to understand, it is me who is hard to understand."

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. They had just arrived at Guanggu Pedestrian Street. There were quite a few people who came here to shop at night, and most of them were couples. This seemed to further stimulate the girl who was already in a depressed mood, so the two of them just walked slowly forward in silence.

After a long time, Tian Xiwei seemed to have suddenly made up her mind. She suddenly ran to Shen Juan and just stared at him. They both stopped at the same time.

The hot night wind suddenly brushed the girl's cheek, her long eyelashes trembled, the street lights were dim and colorful, and her bright eyes were full of colorful light. "Everyone is hard to understand. The only difference is probably whether you are willing to let others understand you."

They stared at each other in silence for a few breaths. Shen Juan looked at Tian Xiwei very seriously and explained to her, "The company doesn't allow me to fall in love during my rising period, and I don't have any intention of falling in love for the time being."

Some things are better explained clearly.

To put it bluntly, celebrities in the entertainment industry may only experience a golden period of skyrocketing traffic once in their lifetime.

After all, if given a choice, fans would certainly prefer to support newcomers rather than old-established stars who have been famous for a long time and have lost their freshness and development potential.

This is also the main reason why only TV dramas starring newcomers and unknown celebrities can become hits of the season, while big productions starring two top stars often fail.

The top stars usually rise to the top amidst a bloody storm. Their opponents have too many black fans, and they can only feed off their own basic fan base and a small number of passers-by, making it difficult for them to support a drama.

And what the newlyweds eat is everything.

Therefore, if a newcomer fails during his/her rising period, it will be difficult for him/her to achieve anything afterwards.

The consequence of suddenly collapsing halfway through your ascension is: excessive marketing exposure, too much face recognition, the entire fan circle knows you, but you don’t attract many fans.
If a star encounters this situation, he can basically send a GG message on the public screen and restart the game to prepare for the next one.

(Arthur, please take a seat. Don't worry, I'm not talking about you.)
But reality is not a game.

Everyone only has one chance to clear the level with one life, not to mention that this is a new account that was obtained with great difficulty.

So it is really difficult for Shen Juan to joke about his career and life plan.

"That's it"

Tian Xiwei put her hands behind her back, lowered her eyes, and hid her big eyes under the shadow of her bangs.

In fact, she also knows that most of the stars of this era rely on fans for development and cannot fall in love.

But no matter what, she has just entered the industry and has not yet experienced the feeling of being supported and loved by fans, being the center of attention, and having her own material conditions greatly improved. She really has no real sense of this golden motto in the era of traffic.

And today is the annual Chinese Valentine's Day.

So I feel a little sad and unhappy.
With different thoughts in mind, we walked out of the end of the pedestrian street and came to the river beach where there was a heavy flow of cars and hurried pedestrians.

The dim street lights cast a soft band of light on the night road where the two people were walking. The sound of their footsteps was accompanied by the noisy electronic music and laughter of passers-by around them, as if it was a symphony that blended the silent night with the fireworks of the world.

In the unusually silent and quiet atmosphere, Tian Xiwei seemed to have suddenly thought of something, or seemed to have secretly made some kind of decision. She suddenly took Shen Juan's hand and raised her signature sweet smile, which was familiar but not so natural, on her face.

"Don't talk, just walk with me."

Shen Juan looked down at the girl's fake bright smile. After hesitating for a moment, he opened his fingers to allow the girl to insert them into the gap between his fingers.

The two walked side by side with their fingers intertwined.

My mood gradually improved and we started chatting.

From their respective high school campus experiences to what they saw and heard in the entertainment industry after entering college.

From the emergence of Star Asia, to the talent show storm of PD101, to the current hip-hop craze.
The topics of conversation became more and more numerous and diverse.

The expressions became more and more natural and the laughter became louder and louder.

And the distance seems to be getting closer and closer.
