Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 553 Great in life, glorious in death

After the Porsche Sport Cup, an event designed to promote the brand, concluded successfully, everyone reaped benefits to varying degrees.

Porsche has been trending on social media quite a bit.

Driven by the public relations department, related topics dominated the trending searches in both the entertainment and sports sectors. This not only reinforced the brand's "high-end sports gene" label, but also attracted a wave of young audiences who were interested in racing due to the celebrity effect of Shen Juan. The brand's voice and the conversion rate of potential customers have increased visibly.

After getting involved in e-sports, basketball, football, rugby, and baseball, Shen Juan has now acquired a new identity as a "race car driver".

Not only did his performance on the track dispel doubts about his amateur status, but his above-average driving skills and professional attention to detail also won over many car enthusiasts. Furthermore, he expanded his influence beyond the film and music industry, successfully penetrating into the high-end automotive circle and a wider group of sports fans.

Even the director of Porsche Greater China publicly praised him, saying that he "possesses both star charm and racing talent, symbolizing Porsche's continuous pursuit of excellence in the 21st century," thus broadening the path for deeper business cooperation and his personal career, while also building momentum for Shen Juan's Le Mans journey.

It's not hard to see that the stars born in the era of diversified entertainment are really hard to compare with the stars of the last century whose entertainment was more singular in terms of global fame and influence.

In the past, entertainment dissemination methods were relatively monotonous and concentrated. A few platforms could cover the vast majority of the audience, and the works and images of celebrities could repeatedly reach the public through media such as television, radio, and posters, forming a profound collective memory.

With the advancement of technology, current communication models are becoming increasingly fragmented. There are simply too many channels such as short videos, live streaming, movies and TV dramas, and reality shows, resulting in fragmented traffic. Celebrities' popularity comes and goes quickly, and even if they are famous, it is difficult to reach the phenomenal level of nationwide adoration of the past.

Shen Juan knew this very well.

Therefore, in pursuit of legend, he needs to try more possibilities and make more efforts that may be futile.

For example, engaging with esports, a sport popular among young people today, is one important way to expand influence.

After all, only by actively engaging with the interests of young people, embracing new forms of entertainment, and gaining wider recognition can one break down barriers between different circles, extend one's influence beyond the traditional entertainment realm, and continuously build upon it, gradually moving towards becoming a legend of our time.

As for the other star driver participating, Lao Wu?

He also achieved the highest traffic volume of the entire year.

Actually, Chris's move...
It can be described as an act of losing one's mind after being breached.

After all, he really lost face this time.

Not only was he played like a clown on the field, but he was also mocked and ridiculed by his "arch-enemy" in front of the media. Then, the netizens who had previously supported him in "Big Bowl Noodles" and tortured Kun Kun also turned against him and joined Xiao Chun Juan in making all sorts of jokes and provocations.

The overall humiliation effect was second only to the incident in Los Angeles where Shen Juan caused a concussion, resulting in a large number of Down syndrome memes and bizarre videos.

This is absolutely awful!
You should know that top celebrities have very high aspirations.

It was precisely because I had seen a better view from the mountaintop that I was unwilling to descend the slope, following the setting sun as it slowly faded into darkness.

For example, in the original timeline, Lu Han was overwhelmed when he saw that Xiao Zhan's fans in the audience were many times more numerous than his own at an awards ceremony.

People who have been at the top have a different mindset and perspective!
Moreover, over the years, whether online or offline, he had been humiliated by Alovers countless times and suffered setbacks at Shen Juan's hands.

Furthermore, Shen Juan wouldn't maintain a friendly demeanor or treat old acquaintances with the same amiable attitude as other celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Therefore, it is understandable that when one's inner defenses are breached, one completely loses control of their facial expressions and displays a side of impotent rage.

But then again...
It wouldn't be wrong to say it was a premeditated plan.

After all, following his concussion and global social death caused by Shen Juan's taunts, the rate at which he has lost fans in recent years has been rather exaggerated.

Ren Luhan's scandal broke because of his official announcement of his relationship.

And what about him?
It's because of playing basketball.

She looks exactly like that Idol Producer's center!
It's fucking outrageous!
Therefore, in order to reverse this seemingly irreversible decline, Wu Jiaheng and his team had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure of manipulating and abusing their fans.

The longtime fans have lost their motivation, so let's give them a pep talk.

If die-hard fans can't find a target, draw them a target.

He's a fence-sitter. He'll just jump ship and run away in a couple of days anyway, and he won't spend any money on me, so it doesn't matter whether he leaves sooner or later.

As for new fans
Are there any new fans among the fans of Ni Jie Jie?
With so many negative incidents in recent years, the birth rate of new fans is probably even lower than that of newborns in neighboring South Korea!
So, looking at it this way, the gecko's decision to cut off its tail and its arm, and to expel the group of opportunists who constantly incite other salamander sisters to run away and undermine internal unity, while retaining only the core elites who are absolutely loyal to it, is perhaps the mildest and most palatable poison it can taste right now.

Unfortunately, Shen Juan had connections in high places.

His global influence is the strongest background.

Moreover, with the combined efforts of multiple forces, this matter has escalated to such a large scale that it has even gone beyond the mainstream and sparked continuous discussion, with its popularity impossible to suppress. At this point, it's really hard for them not to take action to make an example of someone!
After all, how could someone like you, a mere beggar in China, dare to slander the face of the nation and the son of Shanghai?
What is your identity? What is his identity?
Without even an ID card, how can I fight him?

So there's nothing left to hesitate about.

A direct and powerful strike!

The relevant departments have made arrangements for administrative penalties!

Wu Jiaheng's accounts on all platforms have been banned for three months.

Porsche followed suit by unilaterally announcing on Weibo that it had terminated its previous contract with Wu Jiaheng as a celebrity driver.

And it's completely stress-free.

No penalty fee needs to be paid.

Because they didn't pay him anything when they signed him.

The whole process was like tying a rope to a bone, throwing it out and pulling it back, treating him like a dog.

Seeing this, many longtime Meghan fans, completely disheartened, disbanded their fan groups, saying they wanted some peace and quiet.

Having been fans for so long, this is the first time they have felt so disappointed in their idols and so powerless about the current situation.

The entire entertainment industry was once again stunned by the preferential treatment given to Shen Juan by the higher-ups, and they were so envious and jealous that they couldn't speak.

Did something go wrong?
Although it was indeed Wu Jiaheng who started it, strictly speaking, it could only be considered a rant, without showing any obvious incitement. On the contrary, it was clearly your fans who later launched a large-scale cyberbullying campaign. With such obvious instigation and such obvious excessive self-defense, how could you get away unscathed?
It's true what they say: once you put on that yellow jacket, you're not afraid of anyone!
It's like having the imperial sword in hand, daring to kill anyone!
Sigh. Capital
Of course, in order to find a balance and not let Shen Juan's privileged treatment seem too obvious, Tian Jie, who used her main account to lead the attack on Wu Jiaheng's ancestors and incited fans to hit Ni Jie with six blows in one second, and even after surrendering and running away, she was still chased down by private messages, had an extremely bad influence and was also given a month-long ban from speaking.

(Just like when Lu Han was banned for swearing during a live stream, the outside world could only see that the person involved was banned, but the specific duration of the ban was unknown.)

In response, a large number of fans who are essentially just people having fun are trying hard to suppress their laughter and are crying out for justice for Sister Tian on various platforms.

Poor Sister Tian was made an example of (sad face)

Why not make an example of someone to scare others?

[What does this mean? Are you implying that Sister Tian is Kun? She's only been gone a short time, and you bunch of haters can't wait any longer?]

[Could it be a permanent ban? (Trying not to laugh)]

[She should have been banned long ago! I've never seen a celebrity with such a foul mouth! Her influence on society is terrible! She must be severely punished!]

[The person who reported Sister Tian has been found! Weibo: @带带大师兄. Brothers and sisters, follow me! Let's avenge Sister Tian!]

Sister Tian is gone, my youth is over 5555

[Waaaaah, my prison!]

[Will we ever see each other again, Laotian?]

【Laotian, you must be happy!】

The first snow of 2020 came so suddenly, Sister Tian, ​​did you see it? Even the heavens are crying out for you!

It's hard to imagine how happy the other wives are right now, especially Dilraba, who seems ready to come out and eat beef noodles like the "Pond Master" (a nickname for a popular male celebrity).

[Holy crap, how could Lao Juan be so wicked? He created this mess himself, and now his wife is taking the blame and talking back! Poor Lao Wu, all his hard work and all he can do is replace Sister Tian. Sister Tian, ​​just go. You don't owe Shen Juan anything anymore! Let him drown in his so-called harem dream!]

[I think you're the worst person! You're trying to make Sister Tian lose both her husband and her money! How could Spring Fan be so mean!]

The internet is filled with noise and commotion.

But Sister Tian herself didn't care.

Not only did I not feel uncomfortable, I was actually quite pleased with myself.

Because this time she had truly been injured for Shen Juan, truly bled for the organization, and her heart had truly broken open!
So she was absolutely ecstatic!
As the saying goes.
Green hills everywhere bury loyal bones; why must they be wrapped in horsehide to return home?

Isn't this what she's been pursuing all these years?

As a warrior who knows nothing, wants to know nothing, only knows how to blindly advance towards a distant and even invisible goal, only knows how to pick up the magic key to protect the one I love and fight for the beliefs in my heart, dying on the road of pursuing justice, truth and answers may be my destiny.

So there's no need to feel sad for me.

In fact, this is the greatest glory!

Everyone will remember her contributions and her dedication! From now on, people will speak of her deeds with immense pride!
Brave people are adaptable; wherever they go, they feel at home.

Death is just another great adventure.

So one day, I will fight my way out of the underworld.

Returning like lightning!

Then let the world shout for me:
Fertile fields are magnificent!

Apart from the Tmall Double Eleven Carnival Night, which was already scheduled in advance, I had no other work planned for the first ten days of November.

Therefore, Shen Juan could stay in the crew with peace of mind, concentrate on his work, and steadily advance the filming schedule according to plan.

The time was drawing ever closer to Singles' Day.

During this period, the episode of "The Kelly Clarkson Show" that Shen Juan had previously participated in as a surprise guest and recorded remotely was also broadcast.

Thanks to Alexa's high popularity in North America and Republic Records' continued marketing efforts, after the show aired, related topics quickly went viral on Twitter and the US, and the number of views, discussions, and Google search indexes for related topics on TikTok soared, almost dominating all major social media platforms.

At the same time, the data on streaming music platforms also saw a surge. Whether it was the three songs Shen Juan participated in producing, "34+35", "Positions" and "pov", or Shen Juan's own songs, they all experienced varying degrees of increase in play counts and achieved better rankings on the charts.

In response, Rolling Stone immediately published an article commenting: "Ariana Grande and Alex Shen's collaboration is not only the sweetest entertainment moment of the year, but also a textbook example of album promotion. They deeply intertwine their personal emotions with their music, allowing listeners to rediscover the song's meaning while experiencing the sweet atmosphere they create. This is exactly the kind of buzz that 'Positions' needs after its release."

Fans and casual netizens with varying feelings also joined the discussion, expressing their opinions and views at that moment.

As a fan of Ariana for seven years, this seems to be the first time I've seen her so shy in public. Alex is truly special; he's brought back the carefree, innocent girl Ariana once was. So I sincerely hope they can maintain their relationship forever.

When Ari said, "He's mine now," I practically jumped off the sofa! That was so damn cool!

Ari is right, Alex Shen is exactly that kind of man who often makes you feel frustrated, but you can't help but willingly keep following him! I absolutely love this man!

Honestly, all I hope for now is that if they ever decide to leave each other, they won't make things too ugly. Jelena has already hurt her fans enough, so I just hope she can be happy and peaceful. She doesn't need too many sweet moments; just a simple, ordinary life would be fine too.

[The two seem like a perfect match. I can't even imagine how many super hits they could create if they were dating. But as a couple, I'm really not optimistic. Alex is like a gentle breeze blowing through the mountains; no one can hold onto him. We can only pray that he will return to our side someday.]

I don't know if it's because there are so few Asians in my city, or because the Asians I do see don't fit my aesthetic, but I always feel that Alex is different from everyone else. His good looks are the kind that have a divine quality, like God is in his eyes? Maybe he is my God.

[Alex composed the music, and Ariana wrote the lyrics. Every line reflects Ari's thoughts, filled with her deep longing and affection. If Alexana is fake, I think I'll never believe in love again! BTW: Ari has been single for a long time. What does that mean? Who is she waiting for? Those who know, know. So Alex, I hope you'll think twice! Don't make the girls who like you cry anymore.]

Alex says he has a lot of girls who like him, from East Asia to North America to Latin America to Europe and West Asia. The number of people who want to be with him could probably fill thousands of Titanic ships! So, to avoid making them cry, he can only neither reject nor acknowledge any relationship. This is Alex's dilemma.

As Shen Juan and Ariana Grande enter the prime of their careers, Alexa's popularity is clearly rising as well.

In the specific region of North America alone, they can even rival the Kardashian family, who are extremely adept at marketing and promotion.

Moreover, because the person in question doesn't easily get involved, they won't face public backlash like Kim Kardashian did for appearing in public too frequently.

(A room full of the best defensive players)
Then, for some reason, Shen Juan's street interview videos became incredibly popular on YouTube and TikTok during this period.

For example, if you asked passersby on the streets of Los Angeles or New York to choose "Alex or Drake", the vast majority of people would choose Alex.

It even included some Black men who didn't speak the language.

When the interviewer asked them why they chose Shen Juan, their answers focused on the following aspects.

“Absolutely Alex! I love him to death! This Asian boy is so damn tempting! If I ever get the chance to spend the night with him, I'll definitely lock him in the basement and have him have a house full of babies every day! Wait, I wasn't finished, why are you leaving?”

"Alex is my favorite singer! He taught us how to love ourselves and how to love others. He has given me a lot of spiritual support and strength. In a sense, I think he has transcended the realm of an artist and reached a very significant leadership position."

"Drake is too greasy, I don't like him at all! Alex's creative ability is undoubtedly among the best in history, he can definitely be compared with those big names, while Drake? He had a very glorious period, but his ability and his personality and attitude cannot support him to go further."

"Yo! Drake used to be my favorite singer, but now I just feel disgusted when I see him. Damn bro? Because this guy betrayed his race and skin color and chose to embrace white people. Damn bro! That damn guy! I hate traitors more than anything in my life! If he came to our neighborhood, I would definitely bang bang two shots at him. As for Alex, I don't really like this pretty-faced Chinese kid either, but compared to him, traitors are more disgusting!"

“Look at their friends! Every one of Alex’s friends says he’s a good person, especially Lil Nas X, who I even suspect has a crush on Alex all along. And Drake, as you can see, always has friends who turn against him for various reasons, which speaks volumes.”

"I only have one thing to say: any ambitious person who tries to use race as a pretext for personal gain will eventually face the consequences."

In addition, the full list of winners for this year's MTV Europe Music Awards was announced in London, England on November 8.

The biggest winner is still Shen Juan.

However, aside from recording a few acceptance speeches in advance as usual and sending them over, Shen Juan didn't pay much attention to the follow-up developments.

Because this award has very limited prestige.

To put it bluntly, the European Music Awards are to North American music awards what the three major European film festivals are to Hollywood. Ultimately, they are just a chicken rib that is neither delicious nor worth throwing away. If you can already make a name for yourself in the primary market, then why bother with awards in the secondary market?
It's a complete waste of time.

In China
There have also been some news reports related to Shen Juan during this period.

First, the photos of celebrities without makeup during nucleic acid testing were leaked. In these private photos that should not have been made public, the celebrities' unkempt and unshaven bare faces were a stark contrast to their usual glamorous images, which instantly sparked heated discussions among fans. Those who were not good-looking were ridiculed by netizens.

Especially the second-born member of TFBoys, whose entire face is covered in acne scars, which angered many longtime fans to the point that they abandoned the fandom.

It's best to smoke less.

Shen Juan, for example, never smokes.

I only drink alcohol when it's for social occasions.

Their eating habits are extremely healthy and green.

Of course, just as some people lose fans and their popularity collapses because their bare-faced photos are too ugly, there are also people who gain fans and improve their public image by taking bare-faced photos.

For example, even without makeup, he could still fight, successfully triggering a massive surge of female fans, causing the Yellow River to overflow its banks once again, and forcefully striking Shen Juan from the original continent with an elbow strike.

For example, after Shen Juan reminded them, the members of the Fishpond realized that any private information uploaded to the platform might be leaked.

(Hu, a high school student)

Netizens couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
As expected of the ordinary woman selected by Wajuan!

She looks amazing even without makeup!
She's way prettier than Yang Mi, Tang Yan, Yang Ying, and Jiang Shuying!

They had no idea they were actually wearing no makeup.
Another thing is that the nominations for this year's Golden Rooster Awards have been announced.

The most anticipated award is Best Actor.
Shen Juan, from "Better Days".

"The Beneficiary" by Dapeng.

Xiao Yang in "Sheep Without a Shepherd".

Wu Yuhan in "Half a Comedy".

Huang Xiaoming in "The Bravest".

Most of them are old rivals from the previous Hundred Flowers Awards for Best Actor, so the general public believes that Shen Juan has the highest chance of winning the award.

Meanwhile, Shen Juan has already begun preparing marketing press releases for the award, as the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor still carries considerable weight.

And then for Best Supporting Actress
Xiao Ye was nominated for her role as Wei Lai in "Better Days," while Tian Jie was nominated for her role as Shen Nianwei, a character who dared to love and hate, in "The Matchmaker."

The news caused a huge stir.

Some people are marveling at the power of capital, which has managed to squeeze two actresses born in 95, Zhou Ye and Tian Xiwei, into the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress at the same time.

Some people are wondering if Sister Tian, ​​who was just "banned from all platforms" a few days ago, will be able to make it to the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony at the end of the month.

Some people are questioning and attacking Sister Tian, ​​taking advantage of her inability to speak out or retaliate, and making fun of her mercilessly!
Oh my god! Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Rooster Awards?

I am not wrong, right?
Sister Tian, ​​why did you lie to us?

You're clearly a supporting character, so why do you insist on calling yourself the main character?

Didn't you say we're all your family?
Why lie to your family?
This will lower your credit score again.
But there was nothing Sister Tian could do.

After all, getting a Best Actress nomination is too difficult, and even if you do get it, it's not necessarily a good thing. So you can only rely on connections to get a Best Supporting Actress nomination. In order to get this nomination and not lose to Zhou Ye, and also to accompany Shen Juan to the Golden Rooster Awards, Sister Tian finally lowered her pride and admitted her supporting role status.

All I can say is that Sister Tian has matured.

All I can say is that Sister Tian has matured again.

All I can say is that Sister Tian is constantly maturing; she's matured in just over a year.
