Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 578 It's all because my brother-in-law is too charming
12 month 28 number.

Shen Juan returned to Changsha to promote his upcoming film "A Little Red Flower" and participated in the familiar recording of "Happy Camp".

The guest list for this episode includes Shen Juan and Liu Haocun, the male and female leads of "Little Red Flower," as well as several regular members of Taobao's variety show "Fashion Partners," namely Chen Weiting, Ouyang Nana, Liu Yuxin, and Dasha Talan, along with Wei Daxun, who is gradually becoming an unofficial member of "Happy Camp," and Meng Ziyi, who mainly appears to be there to fill the seats.

After landing in Changsha and having lunch outside, Shen Juan arrived at the Matongtai Building with his team a little after 1 p.m.

After getting off the bus, the familiar scene was still there.

Fans screaming wildly, security personnel on high alert, and the hosts of Happy Camp and executives from the TV station eagerly awaiting their arrival.

Following the staff's directions, Shen Juan walked directly into the private lounge that Hunan TV had prepared for him.

Then, while getting her makeup done, she went over the script with the other hosts, and they occasionally chatted about other things, including recent gossip and interesting stories in the entertainment industry. Overall, the atmosphere of the conversation was quite good.

Then, when the other guests of this episode heard that Shen Juan had arrived, they all put down their preparations and, in perfect unison, went to his dressing room to pay their respects. They wanted to take advantage of the time before recording to greet and pay their respects to this big brother, who had just ruined Tencent's crown prince and made Tencent suffer a great defeat.

Number 6 was the first to arrive.

The woman was holding a bowl of rice and asked Shen Juan if he was hungry and if he wanted some, saying that she couldn't finish it all by herself.

But Shen Juan refused.

He's not a good man, how could he possibly eat two meals in one meal?

Liu Yuxin and Dasha Taran need no further introduction.

It's only natural for employees to take the initiative to visit their boss!
Speaking of Liu Yuxin, she's been doing really well lately. Not only are her check-ins on her super topic consistently around 15, but her business and fashion resources have also been fully utilized through Shen Juan's connections at LVMH. She seems poised to replace Cheng Xiao as the new 951 and rise to the top of the female idol scene (her fangirl style and androgynous look are indeed impressive).

It's just a pity that it lacks brand recognition.

Even with top-tier commercial performance and popularity data, it's difficult to be defined as a top star by the public if one lacks brand recognition.

Chen Weiting was as enthusiastic as ever.

I always wanted to ask Shen Juan to go skiing together.

But Shen Juan really didn't have time.

With the year-end approaching, there are already many events and parties to attend. In addition, my buddy is about to go abroad for work, and he needs to finish a lot of work that has piled up beforehand, as he can't take it with him overseas. Plus, he has a bunch of girlfriends he needs to spend time with. So, I can only say that we'll definitely get together again next time when we have time.

Ouyang Nana said that on her way to Changsha, she watched the third and fourth episodes of the show "Chao He" featuring Shen Juan. She praised Shen Juan's performance on the show as very professional. She also talked about Shen Juan's Japanese single "One Last Kiss" which was released a few days ago, saying that it is very popular in Taiwan and that her sisters, friends and besties love it!

Shen Juan had a strange feeling that if he spent just two days in Taiwan, he would immediately become the second generation of Showlo, throwing group parties.

All I can say is that the Taiwanese girl is too open-minded.

Among the Chinese fans he met in the United States, many were Hong Kong girls and Taiwanese girls, and this group was often the most fun-loving.

Shen Juan basically walks on the edge of gray every day, fighting against the evil mentality of pulling white and yellow women into groups to open silver pits.

As for Wei Daxun and Meng Ziyi...
To be honest, the former had mixed feelings.

As a long-time fan of Yang Mi for over ten years, he finally entered the entertainment industry through various means and efforts, hoping to get closer to his goddess. However, he saw that she had become someone else's simp, and the ultimate simp who had completely lost face and was subjected to various humiliations and harsh comments from netizens.
Does he say he's happy?

It's hard for me to be happy.

He has no penchant for being a cuckold.

Could it be said that he was sad?
He wasn't actually that sad.

This at least proves one thing.
Shen Juan looked down on Yang Mi and didn't invite her to drink the peach tea.

So why don't we go and find out how to win over Yang Mi?

It might actually work, but that would look too pathetic and would be an insult to my image as a rich second-generation and dashing playboy.

Ugh.
Thinking of this, Wei Daxun couldn't help but sigh.

He really didn't know how to face Shen Juan, the man he envied, was jealous of, and hated.

The latter, Meng Ziyi
As Xiao Ye's trusted best friend, her feelings or impressions of Shen Juan can be summed up in one sentence.

Don't blame your sister for being inhuman, blame your brother-in-law for being too charming.

Girls born into wealthy families are often more confident in perceiving and understanding the meaning of the phrase "life is only once".

Life is full of joy, so that the gold is empty for the moon.

The meaning of life lies in trying and experiencing!
So who cares about ethics and morality? The collapse of ritual and music?

Let me enjoy myself first!

If a man with such top-tier qualities were to become a model, he would absolutely be the king of models, capable of driving all women crazy!

I'll just blow it up!
However, this matter requires further consideration.

If she acts too proactively now, revealing her lewd intentions too obviously, what if Shen Juan tells Xiao Ye?
That's hard to explain.

We might even lose Xiaoye as a channel in the future.

So, in order to avoid being left with no way out and being forced to board Song Zuer's pirate ship, and to avoid being lumped together with those rich, foolish women who are willing to spend huge sums of money to wait for a vague "matching" opportunity, she could only calm down and slowly pave her way to Shen Juan's ship step by step.

(Today's Happy Camp OOTD)

After finishing the makeup and hair, and going over the script.

everything's ready.

Today's program has officially begun recording.

Shortly after 3 p.m., all the invited audience members had their tickets checked and were seated. Then, familiar faces appeared on stage, singing and dancing energetically: "Thank you all for coming to 'Happy Camp,' sponsored by VIVO, on Saturday night. We are the Happy Family!"

"Wow! The studio is so lively today! Because we have so many friends, both young and old!"

"First of all, welcome to the two friends from the movie 'A Little Red Flower,' which will be released on December 31st!"

Shen Juan asked Liu Haocun, who was standing next to her, to introduce herself first. Liu Haocun greeted everyone with a sweet smile: "Hello everyone, I am Liu Haocun. I play Ma Xiaoyuan in 'A Little Red Flower for You.' I am a girl who can stay positive and optimistic and is always full of energy and vitality no matter what happens!"

"Alright! Welcome our Haocun, our Xiaoyuan!"

After the applause subsided slightly, Shen Juan picked up the microphone and followed up: "Hello everyone! I am Shen Juan. In the movie 'A Little Red Flower,' I play Wei Yihang, a boy who is pessimistic about his life but is gradually brought back by our ever-energetic and lively classmate Ma Xiaoyuan."

The moment the words were spoken, the studio erupted in chaos.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

"Shen Juan!! Brother Juan!!"

"Master Juan!! Juan Juan!!"

My husband is tearing me apart!

The screams of the fans surged forth like a tidal wave.

The other guests on the same stage all showed expressions of great surprise, looking at the calm Shen Juan with a mixture of envy and admiration.

Several girls in the front row holding up support signs even stood up excitedly, standing on tiptoe and waving their signs frantically, shouting hysterically with tearful voices. The entire studio was thrown into a frenzy of excitement, which was only somewhat suppressed by the on-site staff and Shen Juan's soothing words after a while.

After the noise at the scene finally subsided, He Jiong cleared his throat and shook his head at the camera with a mix of helplessness and amusement: "I've hosted Happy Camp for so many years, and I've seen him in every scene where the audience is so excited that the artists have to calm them down. Juanjuan, your popularity is really too exaggerated!"

Then she turned to look at Shen Juan, her eyes full of the satisfaction and appreciation of an elder for a younger generation: "But to be honest, the line you just said about Wei Yihang being gradually brought back by Xiao Yuan really touched me. It felt like you explained the core transformation of the character so clearly, making me really want to go to the cinema to watch the movie!"

Shen Juan nodded slightly, his tone becoming more serious: "I don't think I'm giving away any spoilers now, but what really touched me was what you said, Teacher He. At first, Wei Yihang kept himself very tight and didn't want to interact with society and the people around him, but Xiao Yuan was like a little sun, peeling away his shell little by little."

He Jiong immediately chimed in, trying his best to liven up the atmosphere and eager to persuade more audience members to buy tickets: "Yes! It's this kind of subtle transformation that's most touching! So, next, would you like to talk to us about working with Hao Cun during filming? Are there any scenes that left a deep impression on you?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Juan turned to look at Liu Haocun beside him, a smile appearing in his eyes: "There are quite a few memorable scenes, but saying too much would be a spoiler, so let's wait until the movie is officially released before answering this question. I will post a special Weibo post to answer your question, Teacher He."

He Jiong immediately chimed in, smiling at the audience: "Alright! I'm really looking forward to it! What about you? Are you excited?"

"expect!!!"

"Will you go to the movie theater to see Little Red Flower?"

"meeting!!!"

After another burst of incredibly loud screams that seemed to blow up the studio, it was time for the other guests to introduce themselves.

From Chen Weiting, who promoted "Fourtry," to the cool Liu Yuxin, to the sweet Ouyang Nana, to Dasha Taran, who conquered the audience with her fluent Chinese, and then to Sister Meng, whose smile seemed particularly bright compared to the past. The applause and cheers from the audience rose and fell, but none of them were as impressive as Shen Juan's.

After the last guest, Wei Daxun, finished his introduction, the show moved on to the game segment, an essential part of every episode.

However, before officially starting today's three rounds of games, everyone on stage must first be divided into teams.

Shen Juan, as the captain of the early-to-bed team, gained five members—Liu Haocun, Meng Ziyi, Wu Xin, Wei Jia, and Hai Tao—through a water bottle throwing game; while Chen Weiting, the captain of the early-rising team, gained his old shop assistants Ou Yang Nana, Liu Yuxin, Da Sha Talan, and Wei Daxun Xie Na, who was just there to make up the numbers.

The first game was an animal version of Pictionary, where one person described a given animal using its sounds, and the others guessed.

As the game began, Shen Juan, as the captain of the early-to-bed team, decided to send Liu Haocun, Wei Jia, and himself to this round of the game.

As a result, Hakimi was drawn right away.

This means that the three of them can only meow the whole time.

Liu Haocun was very happy with this result.

Anyway, it's nothing for a girl to imitate a cat's meow.

And you can even hear Juanjuan meowing like a cat, how adorable!
But Shen Juan and Wei Jia were in a bit of an awkward situation.

But the game must go on.

So let it be embarrassing. Shen Juan thought that his group of dream girls would be very happy and excited after this content was broadcast.

Next up is the Cantonese version of "Telepathy".

Shen Juan is quite good at this area.

Because he can really speak Cantonese.

So the game was quickly won again.

Then came the second game segment.

"So, the next competition we're going to have is something that, as you all know, is very likely to happen in college. So, next up is our heart-fluttering scenario test! We'll present a specific scenario for you to test, and in each round, we'll check the heart rate of the supporting team members. The one whose heart rate is higher wins."

Simply put, it's about flirting.

However, it's hard to say whether this heart rate reading is accurate.

In any case, the production team has the right to interpret and explain everything.

The first supporting performer was Liu Haocun.

The test subjects are Shen Juan and Wei Daxun from the next team.

"Wow! This is fun!" Wu Xin beamed.

"This is exactly what I wanted to see!" Meng Ziyi shyly covered her face with her hands, adopting a lovesick pose as if she were infatuated with Shen Juan. Since the royal route wasn't working, she might as well play the role of a lovesick fool for now. After all, you can't hit someone who's smiling, right? I've supported and liked you so much, you can't just pretend I don't exist, can you?

"Go Shen Juan!" Dasha Talan forgot her own identity and stance, and subconsciously stood up to cheer for her boss.

"Sasha, what are you doing? You're on our team! Why are you cheering for the enemy captain?" Ouyang Nana couldn't hold back anymore.

"Ah? I forgot, hahaha! I've gotten used to cheering for the boss." Dasha Taran hurriedly sat back down in her seat, but Shen Juan, seeing this, took the initiative to walk over and forcefully give her a high five, while giving Chen Weiting a very provocative look, playing the role of a minotaur in front of her.

"There's a traitor in our team, we're all moles here, Yuxin, you wouldn't happen to be a spy sent by Starlink to our side, would you?"

"Well, not yet, at least not now."

Chen Weiting's eyes widened, and he finally couldn't hold back anymore. "What do you mean 'at least now'? Does that mean you could betray us at any time?"

"Yay! When you betray me, Yuxin, can you take me with you? Actually, I've already been loyal to Chen Weiting all along. Compared to Weiting's early rising, I still prefer Shen Juan's early sleeping." Ouyang Nana laughed and stabbed Chen Weiting again, directly stabbing him to the ground, clutching his chest and crying bitterly.

Amid applause, cheers, and teasing from the audience, Shen Juan took the stage first and did a set of stretching exercises to warm up.

"No, what are you going to do?"

"Brother Juan, we're going to date, not fight!"

"I was thinking, there's no one here to dunk on you, is there?"

"Be careful with your words and actions to achieve success! Don't mention FIFA figures!"

"They're just temporarily unable to speak, what about FIFA?"

"Who knows, maybe one day it will be FIFA?"

"Anyway, this part will be cut, so say what you want."

After laughing and joking for a while, the game finally began.

"During break, you see the girl you have a crush on trying to reach a book on the bookshelf, but it's too high for her. You walk over to help her. At this moment, what would you do?" Teacher He read the background story as Liu Haocun tiptoed to reach the book, but no matter how cute her little expression was, she still couldn't reach the book on the top shelf.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shen Juan first shook his head helplessly, his eyes filled with a look of indulgence and pampering, as if to say, "I really can't do anything with you." Then he got up and came behind her, stretched out his long arm, easily reached the top shelf of the bookshelf, and took down the book that she couldn't reach.

Liu Haocun curiously opened his eyes slightly and looked back, only to see a handsome and familiar face smiling down at him.

"Ahem." Shen Juan coughed lightly twice.

"Cough cough." Liu Haocun followed suit.

"Why didn't you call me if you couldn't reach it?" Shen Juan's tone seemed to carry a hint of reproach, but his eyes were full of gentle smiles.

"I thought I could make it." Liu Haocun's voice was soft and gentle, but his eyes never left Shen Juan.

"So, do you know what to do next time?" Shen Juan deliberately slowed his speech, raised his eyebrows slightly, and waited quietly for her reply.

"If you still can't reach it next time..." Liu Haocun looked straight at Shen Juan, blinked cutely, puffed out his cheeks slightly, and tried hard to suppress the happy smile that was about to overflow from the corners of his mouth. Then, in a somewhat uncertain tone, he asked softly, "Will I come and call you?"

Shen Juan's lips unconsciously curled up slightly, then he shrugged noncommittally and handed over the book in his hand.

"Here's the book, like this."

He paused deliberately, his serious and steady tone tinged with a playful gentleness: "So I won't lose to anyone else, right?"

Upon hearing this, a collective gasp of surprise rippled through the room.

Not only did Liu Haocun, who was facing Shen Juan directly, lose control of his expression, unable to help but shyly giggle while hurriedly avoiding eye contact with him, but even Meng Ziyi, Ouyang Nana, Dasha Talan and others who could only see Shen Juan's back on the other side, covered their faces with their hands in embarrassment and let out infatuated screams.

Wow! That's amazing!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

"Did you hear that?"

Wow! My heart rate jumped to 140! Hahaha!

"This must be the highest I've ever seen!"

"Ah! Help me!"

"Shen Juan, just take me with you!"

"The boss is so handsome!!!"

"Wow, Juanjuan, that's an excellent result!" Although Teacher He was a little worried for Xiaotian, adhering to the referee's principle of not interfering in young people's romantic relationships, he still excitedly ran over and gave Shen Juan a high five. "This puts a lot of pressure on the later challengers! Let's welcome Wei Daxun!"

Seeing Wei Daxun get up from his seat looking constipated and dejected, everyone started teasing him again.

"Da Xun, aren't you just humiliating yourself?"

"I can't just give up on the competition, can I?"

"Who arranged this match? How dare they bully Da Xun like this?"

"Oh, I arranged it. Then it's fine."

So how will Da-xun portray this scene?

Da Xun did not hesitate and chose to give up directly.

"Can't reach it? If you can't reach it, then go find Shen Juan! Where is he? Do you want me to call him over to get the book for you?"

If you hesitate for even a second longer, it would be disrespectful to Shen Juan, and an insult to yourself for being overconfident and lacking self-awareness.

Amid applause and teasing from the crowd, the three, each with their own distinct feelings and expressions, returned to their seats.

Then the next round begins.

The guest performer was Shen Juan.

The test subjects are Meng Ziyi and Dashataran.

Shen Juanxian and Meng Ziyi sat on the prop bench.

Teacher He began by introducing the story's background: "You and your boyfriend are resting on a bench by the roadside when you suddenly see a girl whose skateboarding skills are incredibly impressive. Your boyfriend can't help but praise her, but he doesn't notice that you're a little jealous and unhappy. To let him know you're unhappy, what would you do at this moment?"

Sister Meng went straight for the point, forcibly turning Shen Juan's face towards her: "Look at me! Don't look at anyone else!"

With her red lips slightly pouting and her eyes filled with a touch of coquettish dissatisfaction, her tone was slightly domineering yet charmingly innocent. The striking visual impact of the two appearing together instantly ignited the entire audience. The people on stage clapped and laughed, while the audience below screamed once again, pushing the atmosphere to another climax.

"My sister Meng got right to it!"

"They're going all out with the serious stuff!"

"I'll do anything to win the game!"

"Sister Meng, are you out of your mind?"

"Alright! Juanjuan's heart rate is 130, which is Ziyi's challenge score. Next, let's welcome our Sasha to the stage!"

Wow! I'm really looking forward to this group!

"As long as Shen Juan is there, which group wouldn't you be looking forward to?"

"An employee flirted with the boss!"

"The legendary office romance!"

"Sasha, won't you be so nervous later that you can't even speak properly? If it's really necessary, you can use the Russian from your hometown."

"Yuxin, you're also from Starlink. Do you think Sasha's grades can surpass Sister Meng's?"

"I think it's hard to say."

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Dasha Taran sat down next to Shen Juan and began to manage her emotions and adjust her breathing rhythm.

Teacher He began to repeat the story's background: "You and your boyfriend are resting on a bench by the roadside when you suddenly see a girl whose skateboarding skills are incredibly impressive. Your boyfriend can't help but praise her, but he doesn't notice that you're a little jealous and unhappy. To let him know you're unhappy, what would you do at this moment?"

"Look, look! There are aliens!" Dasha Taran also mustered up her courage and gently hugged Shen Juan's arm.

Shen Juan looked at his girlfriend beside him with a helpless yet doting expression. "What era are we living in? Do you think I would still believe such nonsense?"

"But I feel that when we are together, the whole world becomes a dream, and everything seems possible."

"Then say I love you, and make me happy?" Shen Juan's performance at this moment had exceeded the scope of a supporting actor. Compared to his passive cooperation when facing Meng Ziyi earlier, he was clearly taking the initiative to start a conversation and push the conversation forward. His attitude towards Dasha Taran was no longer an act; it couldn't be hidden.

"Okay! In Chinese?" Dasha was quite happy. She also noticed Shen Juan's favoritism towards her, and her smile became even brighter.

"Use Russian, how do I say it in Russian?"

"ah!"

"Where's love?"

"The season for showing off!"

"you?"

"Te!"

"What if we put them together?"

"I remember that wonderful moment when you appeared before me, like a fleeting phantom, like a celestial being of pure beauty. In the torment of hopeless sorrow, in the troubles of noisy and frivolous life, your gentle voice lingered in my ears. My heart leaped with ecstasy, and everything in my heart was reawakened. I had someone to love, I had poetic inspiration, I had life, I had tears, and I had love."

Dasha Taran recited Pushkin's classic love poem "To Kern" in Russian. Seeing that everyone was confused, she translated it into Chinese and recited it to Shen Juan again.

Now I understood everything.

Then everyone started wailing and howling again.

"Sasha is so good at this!"

I really need to scream for help!

"Russian is so romantic!"

Do Russians also have to memorize poems when they go to school?

"My heart is pounding! My heart rate is over 135!"

"They look so good together!"

However, Liu Haocun is not included in this list.

Because she was a little jealous and unhappy.

Like the scenario in this playout: You and your boyfriend are recording a show together when you suddenly see a girl whose sweet talk skills are superb. Your boyfriend can't help but praise her, but he doesn't notice that you're a little jealous and unhappy. To let him know you're unhappy, what would you do at this moment?
Liu Haocun chose to pout angrily.

That way, when Shen Juan comes back from playing the game, he will naturally notice that something is wrong with her and will take the initiative to come and cheer her up.
