Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 557 The Nemesis Appears
As I've said before, you need to address the specific needs when it comes to dating.

When interacting with different people, Shen Juan needs to switch between different personas and adopt different ways of interacting.

such as
When you're with a mature older woman, just honestly offer emotional support and play a companion role.

Under normal circumstances, their values ​​are already fully established, and it is difficult for outsiders to change their long-held life beliefs.

Of course, it might work after spending a long time together, since dating is essentially a process of mutual influence and transformation.

But it's definitely very difficult.

Therefore, instead of forcing change, it's better to go with each other's pace and find a balance that both parties can accept.

This way, one can live a more comfortable and carefree life.

That's pretty much it for Aibao Miao Zong and Xue Jie.

When dating younger girls of similar age with less social experience, or younger classmates who yearn for love, he can take on different roles such as father, first love, manipulative woman, and bad boy, while becoming a guiding lover and subtly changing and shaping their values.

Teaching someone who doesn't love themselves to love themselves, teaching someone with poor emotional intelligence to love themselves—all emotions are built on the foundation of self-love. Love yourself first, then love others. A qualified guiding partner usually has great patience and attentiveness, and always has a positive influence on their partner.

The main idea is to make her fall in love with you first.

Fall in love with the world around you again.

I fell in love with him again in the end.

Although this is indeed a backward compatible behavior, even a small mistake could turn it into PUA.

But even if these girls who have been misled suddenly realize their mistake one day, they will not feel repulsed or regretful about the experience.

On the contrary, they will only miss the time when they were always relaxed and happy, always unrestrained and willful, without fear of the consequences, because there was always someone to back them up, giving them full confidence and a sense of security, and helping them gradually become better. They will only regard the guiding lovers they once met as white moonlight.

After all, as mentioned before...
Shen Juan brought them nothing but positive influence, and all that remained were warm and beautiful memories. All the beautiful aspirations and fantasies about love that they had when they first fell in love were best embodied in Shen Juan. Under these circumstances, it is no longer important to discuss whether Shen Juan had any ulterior motives.

Because this sentiment has long transcended any so-called selfishness.

For them, meeting such people and having such memories is already the greatest fortune.

Time passed day by day on set.

During this period, many news stories related to Shen Juan emerged.

First, on the 15th, the full list of winners for the 46th People's Choice Awards in the United States was announced. Shen Juan won multiple awards, including Male Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, Album of the Year, and Music Video of the Year. With the support of his fans, he swept all the mainstream awards he could participate in, becoming the biggest winner of this year's awards.

Then on the 17th, South Korea's SM Entertainment's new girl group aespa debuted as originally planned, once again sparking heated discussions online.

[Even a bastard like Yoo Jimin, who attacks and insults his seniors, can debut. SM Entertainment is completely finished. They should just go bankrupt already!]

[Hasn't it already been clarified? Besides, the girls went to see Shen Juan's concert movie a while ago. If Karina were really a hater, why would she go? And isn't Ningning a die-hard Alovers fan? If Karina is an anti-Shen Juan, how could they possibly be getting along peacefully?]

If you believe that, you might as well believe I'm your mother.

[Those who believe SM's clarifications will likely find themselves easily swindled out of all their savings and fortunes by scammers when they get old.]

[The most beautiful member of this group right now is Dongmei, and she also has the most versatility. She can be innocent and aloof, or she can be very charming. No wonder there are rumors on Korean websites that Dongmei is the company's replacement for Irene as the most beautiful face. The other three are Karina, who is in charge of dance; Ningning, who is in charge of vocals; and Gisele, who is in charge of rap.]

[Karina is the dance lead? kkkkkk Don't make me laugh, did you even see her debut solo? I almost died laughing!]

[I heard Karina is the daughter of a high-ranking military official, no wonder she's targeting Shen Juan so much. She's bringing political issues into the idol industry. I feel the company needs to manage things better; this is pointless. Just because Dr. Shen invented the "1 Chinese man > 7 Korean man" rule doesn't mean they should target him like this.]

Karina is so ugly! I suggest she get plastic surgery!

[Absolutely stunning proportions! This is our aespa's naturally beautiful and divine dancer, whose charm makes even a passing ant swoon!]

[How dare she criticize her company's seniors and Shen Juan with that kind of appearance? Isn't that a bit arrogant? I sincerely urge all K-pop fans to unite and boycott Karina! This scumbag has completely disgraced K-pop internationally! We absolutely must not let this viper-like, insidious, and ruthless woman get away with it!]

Looking at these harsh comments on her phone screen, Liu Zhimin's fingers, gripping the phone so tightly, turned white.

"Stop looking at it." Jin Dongtian's voice drifted over gently. She reached out and patted Liu Zhimin's shoulder, comforting her softly, "Don't take these comments too seriously. Didn't the company already clarify things? They're just caught up in their anger right now. After a while, I guess not so many people will be criticizing you anymore."

Liu Zhimin didn't look up, her mood still low, her voice still weak: "What's the use of clarifying? They don't believe it at all."

Jin Dongtian continued, "If they don't believe it, they don't believe it! That just means they're not your target audience. There will always be people in this world who believe in you and like you. Read more comments that praise you and less comments that criticize you. They don't understand you at all, so there's no need to let these people affect your mindset."

Liu Zhimin gently thanked her.

However, he didn't reply, but just sighed.

Promising to the company to "accidentally" leak the chat logs was definitely the worst decision she's ever made in her life!
If I had known this path would be so difficult and the psychological pressure so great, I would have preferred to debut normally and take things one step at a time.
At least that way I won't get scolded.

I wouldn't get scolded by so many people.

The result is now better.

Now, not only has she offended Alovers, but also the Nyosen community, who have labeled her a "representative of female traitors" and subjected her to various attacks.

This means that this incident will follow me as a criminal record for the rest of my life, and my future career potential will be severely limited.

My idol career is really looking bleak.
Jin Dongtian quietly watched Liu Zhimin, whose expression shifted between light and shadow, her eyes revealing a barely perceptible joy and pride.

Actually, when she was browsing the forum and reading the comments, she also saw those comments that attacked Liu Zhimin from various angles.

From her appearance and figure to her character and abilities, she was subjected to a thorough and comprehensive humiliation and torture, which reduced her to nothingness.

Some of the extreme and insulting remarks were so offensive that even she, as a beneficiary of the system, couldn't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow.

But that’s fine too.

After all, the more controversy Liu Zhimin generates, the more she can take the heat and generate buzz for them. When netizens' attention is focused on "boycotting Karina," she, a beautiful and honest member with no controversy, will receive more attention. Then, after the buzz has been building for a while, the company will definitely allocate more resources to her.

By the time.
I'm destined to become aespa's most popular star!

I'm destined to become the new visual icon of K-pop!
I will eventually become the Kami of the new world!
As for Liu Zhimin?
They're just fake royalty holding the script for the sacrificial ceremony.

The only true princess of SM Entertainment is Winter!
At the other end of the practice room.

Ning Yizhuo was also looking down at the comments from netizens, sometimes frowning and sometimes pursing her lips, her expression changing slightly with the comments. When Shen Juan's avatar suddenly popped up in the Kakao message bar, her eyes lit up instantly, and she quickly clicked on it, her heart filled with nervous anticipation.

【What are you doing? 】

Ning Yizhu bit her lower lip, repeatedly revising her reply, deleting and rewriting: 【Just finished dance practice, now resting in the practice room~】

After thinking for a moment, she added: "[Brother Shen Juan, thank you so much for your encouragement before. I've finally debuted today!]"

The moment the message was sent, her heart began to pound. Her fingertips remained on the screen, and her eyes were glued to the chat box, not even daring to blink. Her entire being radiated with eager anticipation for Shen Juan's reply.

Kim Dong-won was still comforting Yoo Jimin, saying things like, "Let's prepare well for the stage and use our strength to shatter their doubts."
Liu Zhimin responded occasionally, but she still looked listless, and it was unclear whether she had taken his concern to heart.

Ning Yizhuo had no interest in playing house with them or creating a friendly atmosphere. Her mind was filled with the scene of seeing Shen Juan at the McDonald's pop-up event last year.

At that time, she was just an unknown trainee who was arranged by the company to appear at events to make her presence known. Shen Juan said this to her with a smile.
"No matter what you encounter in the future, what kind of work you do, or what you become, I hope you can remember that you mustered up the courage to be the first to raise your hand today, and I hope you can remember that someone is concerned about whether you are cold in winter. And when you really feel cold, don't try to tough it out."

“When you first became an SM ROOKIES member, I was looking for a new company that could accept me and help me realize my debut dream. So, you were actually quite famous in the Chinese trainee circle. Therefore, I already knew you before you really knew me.”

"While seeking warmth and comfort from the light source, don't forget that you are also shining. Please keep up the good work in the future."

She has remembered these words to this day, and has lost count of how many difficult days they have sustained her through her lowest points.

Within seconds, Shen Juan replied: [Congratulations on your debut! I watched your debut preview, it was great! Keep up the good work, and I look forward to seeing more of your amazing performances!]

Ning Yizhu immediately smiled and typed rapidly on the keyboard to thank Shen Juan: 【Thank you, Brother Shen Juan! We will definitely prepare well for the stage! We will also learn from Brother Shen Juan in the future!】

Shen Juan replied almost instantly: [You're welcome. Get some rest and don't overwork yourself. I still have scenes to film. Let's talk again when we have time.]

【Okay! Goodbye, Brother Shen Juan!】

Exit Kakao and press the screen-off button.

Ning Yizhuo held her phone in her arms, her eyes crinkling into crescents with laughter. The anxiety and trepidation she had felt before her debut were completely swept away by the joy of receiving her idol's blessing. Her heart was filled with joy that was almost overflowing, and even her breathing became much lighter.

In any profession in the world, beneath the surface of warm greetings lies a monetary transaction; only the profession of idol lies beneath the monetary transaction a wealth of genuine affection.

Even though I only have you and you have millions of me, in this long life, I have at least three hours in which my life completely overlapped with yours.

When all the spotlights were shining on you, I realized that the person being illuminated was me.

Because of you, I gradually rediscovered myself! And because of you, I slowly became a better version of myself.

And now, having learned so much from you, I also want to become someone who brings strength to fans, just like you!
Thinking so
She pressed the lock screen button again, turned on the screen, saved a screenshot of the chat history, and then set it as her phone wallpaper.

She thought that if she encountered difficulties again in the future, she would look at these words and think of Brother Shen Juan, and she would definitely be able to persevere!

Shanghai, the Glory film crew.

Shen Juan wasn't lying; he really did have a film to shoot. After lunch, filming continued as scheduled in the afternoon.

The lead actors went through makeup sessions separately before the official filming.

Wang Churan was furious when she saw Liu Haocun, with his smug, green tea-like expression, strut into Shen Juan's lounge.

Oh shit!

That scoundrel is such a show-off!
They're completely different in public and in private!
In front of Juanjuan, she pretends to be gentle, cute, and understanding, always appearing as an energetic and optimistic little angel.

They would smile in front of me while hiding a knife behind their smile, sometimes even dropping the pretense and openly picking fights with sarcastic remarks.

That face makes me so angry!

But she could only try to keep herself calm.

After all, as a professional actor who has been in the industry for several years, one must have the most basic professional ethics. One must never let personal matters affect one's filming state or delay the filming schedule of the entire crew. Moreover, one must not let that scheming, manipulative woman see the side of one's mental breakdown, so as not to make her too smug.

Of course, this statement is not very convincing.

She's not a saint, how could she not be affected?

This green tea bitch named Liu Haocun has been stalking Shen Juan whenever she has a spare moment these past few days. Not only has she taken away her original position and greatly reduced the time she and Juan Juan spend together, but she has also shortened their comfortable time selling Coke after they finish work and return to the hotel by at least half.

The two women are now working in shifts.

One person takes turns doing it each day.

How could she possibly tolerate this?!
And whether it was her imagination or a subconscious bias, she felt a strange sense of familiarity and danger about Liu Haocun. It was a subtle feeling, as if they hadn't met for the first time, but had crossed paths long ago over some trivial matter she couldn't quite recall.
In short, she just didn't like Liu Haocun!

I dislike her affected and pretentious demeanor, and I especially dislike her innocent and harmless little rabbit-like temperament!
If her attitude towards Sister Tian stemmed more from the humiliation, anger, and resentment of not being able to defeat her after being blocked at the door, then her attitude towards this woman named Liu Haocun was one of complete and heartfelt rejection, resistance, and undisguised disgust. Every emotion came directly and intensely!
So during this time, she often gave Liu Haocun the cold shoulder and rolled her eyes at him, and often spoke ill of him behind his back.

Aside from the brief self-introduction organized by Shen Juan on the day I arrived at the film crew, I didn't have any communication with her at all.

Even though she knew it wasn't right for her to do that.

But I just can't help wanting to attack, wanting to vent!
She even had a vague premonition.
Perhaps compared to Sister Tian, ​​who is invincible and has made countless enemies, this green tea bitch is her true nemesis.

It took two hours to put on makeup and get dressed, and Wang Churan's most beautiful and dignified outfit in the entire series is finally ready!
And the next scene they were going to film
Perhaps it is also one of the most important scenes in the entire series.

On the day of the group wedding organized by Yu Tu's company, all the brides wore veils. Jingjing and Yu Tu had kept it a secret beforehand, and their appearance at the wedding surprised everyone. Everything was ready for the wedding, but the makeup artist had an accident and couldn't make it, which made everyone a little anxious.

After learning about the situation, Jingjing generously sponsored a makeup team out of her own pocket, solving the problem for everyone.

While everyone was getting ready, Yu Tu brought Jingjing to the wedding venue ahead of time for a rehearsal.

The banquet hall doors were pushed open.

The azure starlight first pierced through the gradually widening gap in the door, landing on Shen Juan's face and making him shine.

The moment the door opened completely, a shower of starlight poured down from the sky.

The aerospace institute actually set up a private, dazzling starry sky. Isn't that more romantic than holding a wedding on the beach?
Wang Churan couldn't help but lift her veil, her eyes filled with surprise, wanting to see this dreamlike scene more clearly.

In the distance, the sky is full of stars; before me is my beloved.

At this moment, she was completely immersed in the breathtakingly beautiful and dreamlike composition.

Shen Juan stood quietly by the gate, patiently waiting for Wang Churan to enter.

After a while, Wang Churan, having regained her senses, lifted her long skirt and walked into the venue, stepping onto the steps into this incredibly beautiful world.

Above her was a clear blue night sky dotted with stars, and beside her was a romantic sea of ​​white roses. The path leading to the stage was also illuminated with a soft glow, making her feel as if she were walking in the Milky Way.

Shen Juan stood there watching her walk step by step towards the dreamlike starry sky that once belonged to him, but would from now on belong to her.

"How romantic!" Wang Churan exclaimed in surprise, "This road is shaped like a spoon!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the stars beneath her feet suddenly lit up, enveloping her in deep blue starlight.

"It's the Big Dipper constellation, and you're now stepping onto Yaoguang Star."

Wang Churan smiled sweetly, her eyes narrowed: "If I walk down, will the other six stars light up too?"

"It will light up wherever you go."

Full of anticipation, Wang Churan lifted her skirt and walked towards the next star, and sure enough, the star beneath her feet lit up.

She turned back to Shen Juan with surprise and asked with a smile, "You aerospace professionals are so romantic! Who came up with this idea?"

"The person in charge created a group chat for our unit. I joined using a secondary account, and we all chose the starry sky theme together."

"But I designed this road."

"You designed this?" Wang Churan was very surprised.

Shen Juan nodded silently.

"I don't believe it! When I said I would hold my own wedding, didn't you come up with anything?" Wang Churan pouted. At this moment, not to mention the director behind the monitor with a big smile on his face, even she herself probably couldn't tell whether it was the character's emotion or her own genuine feelings.

Shen Juan smiled and looked down. "Alright, stop running around. Let's go inside."

Wang Churan obediently ran back, lifting her skirt, and then entrusted her right hand to him, which also meant entrusting herself to him.

"Next, we will walk onto the stage together."

Hand in hand, they walked step by step, stepping on the starlight-studded steps onto this meticulously arranged Big Dipper Path.

Let's start with Yaoguang Star.

Next are Kaiyang, Yuheng, Tianquan, Tianji, Tianxuan, and then Tianshu, which is the farthest from Earth and the second brightest.

The romance of gazing at the stars.

We should also find happiness in a down-to-earth way.

Finally, they arrived at the main stage.

Shen Juan pulled Wang Churan to their designated spot, their hands clasped together, and they looked at each other. "We'll stand here."

"Looks like you remember it very well, you don't even need me to navigate!" Wang Churan raised her eyes and looked tenderly at the man in front of her, whom she had liked for a long, long time, both on and off screen. The corners of her mouth turned up high without any attempt to hide it, and a warm feeling gradually rose in her heart. She felt that everything around her had become like a dream.

"Today I am your BDS." Shen Juan smiled gently.

"and then?"

Wang Churan's eyes sparkled; it seemed she had already taken this scene as a real wedding.

"Then, the emcee will announce that the wedding ceremony has officially begun."

"My teacher will officiate our wedding."

"Our parents and relatives will be watching us from the audience."

"We want to exchange rings."

“Recite the oath.”

"They pledged their lives to each other."

Finally, I can hug you and say this to you.

"I love you."

Under Wang Churan's expectant and longing gaze, Shen Juan reached out and embraced her slender waist, lowered his head and kissed her. The soft and warm touch from her lips made her unconsciously immersed in those beautiful memories.

The stunning first encounter in Paris, the delightful surprise of skiing together in Whistler, the dazzling romance under the Sydney night sky, the special trip to her hometown of Zibo after the lockdown to accompany her through the streets and alleys to relive the warmth of childhood memories, and all the silent companionship and sweet daily life hidden in every meal and season.
These precious moments and fragments together form the picture of her memories of Shen Juan.

How can someone who falls in love at first sight be content to remain just a friend?

She just never expected to marry Juan Juan so quickly, never expected to become Juan Juan's little wife so soon.

Even though she knew it was all just acting.

But if all of this were true, how wonderful that would be!

She thought she had suddenly found the meaning of being an actress.

She thought she needed to tell Shen Juan something later.
What I've always looked forward to isn't the beautiful scenery or romantic moments, but every moment with you.

I really, really love you!
