Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 75 Don't Ask, It's Scary

After talking about the recent fan circle trends, they started talking about Shen Juan’s schedule plans for the next few months.

"The crew of One Thousand and One Nights is urging you to sign the contract. They plan to start filming in mid-October, or late October at the latest, but you are still reluctant to sign the contract. They seem to be unhappy with your use of them as a backup."

"But this script is really bad. If it weren't for the fact that the leading actress has enough popularity to match my status, I would have turned it down long ago." Shen Juan frowned.

"So are you going to accept it or not? It's time to give an answer." Yangjin Zhuoma was also very clear about Shen Juan's concerns.

After all, the plot of this drama is really a bit abstract.

Upon hearing this, Shen Juan did not rush to answer, but instead asked about the company's recent situation, "How is the company's recent revenue?"

"There's no improvement. It's still the same as before. But thanks to you, at least the company sees hope."

"Is it possible to release an album or a single during the two months when the show has just finished airing and the popularity has not yet faded?" Shen Juan expressed his plan.

"Hasn't the company already packaged the songs you sang on the show into a live album and released it online?"

"Not these old songs, I mean the new songs, the brand new English singles that we produced and filmed in the United States."

“Our domestic traffic hasn’t even stabilized yet, and you want to go straight into the European and American markets? That’s a bit of a leap.” Yangjin Zhuoma was a little scared.

“I think we can release a single first to test the waters.”

Let’s not talk about Kris, who has always been taking the international route and spent a lot of money to hire the top American production team to help him make songs.

Even Zhang Yixing, who is looked down upon by many casual fans in China, will take his new album to the United States next year to gild his reputation, and has achieved good results.

Ranking 21st on the Billboard Albums Chart is the best result ever achieved by a Chinese singer on this list.

(Later, this record was broken by Jackson Wang’s new album “MAGIC MAN” which debuted at No. 200 on Billboard )

So there is no reason for Shen Juan not to go out and try his luck.

After all, he is much better than Kris and Lay in terms of both business ability and quality of work.

"Are you sure?" Yangjin Zhuoma frowned slightly.

"What do you think?" Shen Juan smiled reassuringly.

"I will report the situation to President Du."

"Then I'll trouble you, Sister Zhuoma."

"So will you accept One Thousand and One Nights or not?"

Shen Juan was silent for a moment, but he still made up his mind and made the final decision: "Help me find a reason to refuse."

The pay is low (the pay of traffic idols of the same level is at least 30% lower than that of regular traffic actors), the number of views is average (it is an ordinary hit drama, only discussed within the fan circle), and the performance bonus is small (it will not be included in the actor's representative works).

In that case, it would be better to go the music route for the time being and let Wu Jiaheng and the music circle see who is the clown.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the live broadcast of "The Next Generation of Stars" begins.

During the opening show of energetic songs and dances, the four contestants and their supporting guests took turns to go on stage to make their debut.

Perhaps in order to take advantage of the popularity and topicality brought by the rise of hip-hop this summer, everyone prepared a freestyle with no restrictions on the theme as required by the program team.

Even including the three star promoters who took the stage later.

But the live effect is really abstract.

The contestants participating in "The Next Top Banger" don't have very good professional abilities, and the program team still forces them to play things they are not good at. Isn't that just making things difficult for them?
Of course, it’s not entirely something they are not good at, as there is actually a rapper among the remaining four contestants.

For example, Shen Juan’s current partner, “Son of a Deadbeat Dad” Zhou Zhennan, and Ma Boqian, who was ridiculed by the public in later generations for being called “Ox-Nosed Xiao Yan”, have always been following the Hip-hop route.

It's a pity that their strength is not up to par.

Even if they were participating in Rap of China, they probably wouldn't be able to pass the audition without paying money and using a backdoor.

The opening performance ended quickly, and the star promoters and contestants left the stage and returned to their seats.

At the same time, the host Zhang Dada began to stir up the atmosphere on stage: "Welcome everyone! Dear audience and fans, you are supporting!"

"Shen Juan!!!"

“Mao Buyi!!”

"Zhao Tianyu!"

The sounds decrease from high to low.

The noise was so loud that even the three star promoters were startled by the movement coming from behind them. Yang Mi even turned around to look for the fans who were supporting Shen Juan.

There are indeed a lot of people, and it is indeed easy to find.

Because Shen Juan’s support color is red.

Wherever there is a Red Sea, there are Shen Juan fans.

“Who must be in the top three labels tonight!”

On the stage, Zhang Dada was still livening up the atmosphere.

"Shen Juan!!!"

“Mao Buyi!!”

"Zhao Tianyu!"

On the way to the lounge, Shen Juan was almost unable to hold back when he heard the thunderous roar coming from behind him.

I'm not a contestant. When the host asked who the top three labels were tonight, why did he call out my name?
I am the champion, not some stinky top three
Zhou Zhennan, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel envious when seeing this scene. He said in a sour tone: "Brother Juan, you have so many fans. It feels like you have more than us contestants. It is obvious that the show next door is your home court." "It doesn't matter. You will have a chance to experience this feeling in the future." Shen Juan said some polite words casually, and he was not worried that his partner would be jealous of him because of this.

Of course, it doesn't matter even if he is really jealous.

Anyway, Shen Juan is not afraid of being targeted.

Nor is there any fear of being envied.

If you don’t agree, just battle with him. He will definitely win.

Next, the performances will be ranked in order of popularity.

Zhao Tianyu, who has the least popularity, and her guest singer Zhang Bichen need to go on stage first, followed by Zhou Zhennan.

The second most popular singer is Mao Buyi and his guest singer MC Tianyou, who is also the banned MC.

The one with the highest popularity is Ma Boqian.

After a brief preparation time, Zhao Tianyu and Zhang Bichen took the stage together to perform their song "White Moonlight".

I can only say that he is definitely not a singer of the same level.

There is a gap between idols from talent shows and professional singers.

As soon as Zhang Bichen opened her mouth, Zhao Tianyu's originally acceptable performance seemed full of loopholes.

Especially when the two of them sang the chorus, it was like a car accident scene. Zhao Tianyu was completely suppressed by Zhang Bichen, who volunteered to play a supporting role and sing harmony with him.

Zhao Tianyu: I thought she was here to assist me.

It was really difficult for Shen Juan to make comments that went against his will in front of the camera, so he chose to remain silent.

Then Mao Buyi and MC Tianyou came on stage to compete with Zhao Tianyu and Zhang Bichen.

Thus, another car accident-level live performance that made Shen Juan exclaim fxxking crazy in his heart was born.

This thing called rap is really not presentable.

Performing on a live stage like this with good radio and mixing is pure mass production of noise garbage.

And to be honest, Mao Buyi's style is suitable for singing alone quietly on the stage.

His music style, intonation and singing skills determine that few people in the circle can match him perfectly.

simply put,
Although Xiao Wang, who always fantasizes about being a superstar, has many shortcomings, his style is indeed unique.

Then, it was finally Shen Juan's group's turn to perform.

The entire studio was filled with cheers and screams.

There were more fans who came to the scene to cheer for the guest singers than the contestants, and Shen Juan was probably the first one.

The two of them retreated into the darkness of the stage and stood quietly.

After ninety seconds of preparation time, the music started.

"Every day I wanted to see her soon and hold her hand. I knew she wanted to do the same. I guess she missed several calls. Just when I was thinking about the baby and hoping she would come soon, I unexpectedly found that she didn't bring her phone. It was such a surprise."

As soon as Zhou Zhennan opened his mouth, Shen Juan shook his head and sighed in his heart. The rhythm was poor, the pitch was floating, and the sound pressure was weak.

But it's nothing new.

After all, Zhou Zhennan himself is not a professional singer, and his talent and singing skills are limited. As early as today's rehearsal, he had roughly figured out his true level.

Low EQ: KTV level, not suitable for singing.

High emotional intelligence: suitable for the Hiphop route.

Moreover, not every singer can master R&B. For example, Wang Sulong, although he has repeatedly stated that he is a fan of R&B godfather David Tao, his natural sense of rhythm is inferior to others, and he never sings R&B to the right taste.

So what exactly is the right taste?

"I always thought that she would always walk with me step by step. I always thought that she was the only one who could understand the humor that turned boring things into fun things. I am not her type and I should have let go of her hand long ago. Oh, what a surprise." Shen Juan spoke with the standard of being right for her.

Whether it's pitch or rhythm control, or the most iconic R&B feature of lazy vibrato, Shen Juan has surpassed the boundaries of an idol and reached the standard of excellence.

Her singing was so smooth, as if she had eaten Dove chocolate, making the audiences at the scene and in the live broadcast room kneel down in admiration.

Zhou Zhennan was a little upset, mainly because Shen Juan's voice coming from the earphone was too clear and too nice.

He now understood Zhao Tianyu's feelings.

He also thought that Shen Juan was here to assist him.

In a sense, he was even more miserable than Zhao Tianyu. After all, he was singing R&B, a song he was not good at, and singing it on the stage was tantamount to public execution.

But what can be done?

Who made him take a fancy to Shen Juan's traffic and want to team up with him to see if he could take advantage of some of his popularity?

In this case, you must be prepared to be crushed by your partner on stage and ridiculed by netizens on the Internet.

Alas, those who fall behind will be beaten.

Who makes his skills inferior to others?

So there is nothing to complain about, just keep singing.
