As the League of Legends S7 World Championship came to a successful conclusion, news reports and marketing press releases began to flood the Internet to attract traffic and attention.

Shen Juan stayed at the scene and watched the whole process. Most of the follow-up of this final was exactly the same as in the original time and space.

SKT's dynasty was eventually defeated by Samsung. The famous scene of pushing the stick was born, the Samsung players were excited and celebrating, Faker collapsed in a chair and cried, and he looked back with tears in his eyes when he left the stage.
Of course there are differences.

For example, the shadow of the ancient dragon that appeared in Shen Juan’s opening MV finally descended on the Bird’s Nest during the singing of "Legends Never Die", forming a beginning and an end echo.

For example, Zhou Milk Tea’s song “Hero” was sandwiched between Shen Juan’s “Ticking Away” which ignited the whole audience and the official theme song “Legends Never Die”.

Because he seemed too abstract in comparison, he was mocked by everyone for running out of ideas. His performance on stage seemed like he was doing acrobatics, which made his fans so embarrassed that they dug their toes into the ground.

For example, the screenshot of Shen Juan's live broadcast in the Summoner's Rift projected in the center of the stage was refined and recreated by countless fans and netizens, becoming another famous scene of his handsome face, which greatly helped him expand his popularity and influence among young people in China and around the world.

For example, the group of South Korean fans who are still silently following and supporting Shen Juan started to go crazy on the Korean Internet again.

They used the stage video of this song to madly criticize the so-called outstanding vocals of Kpop boy groups: Do you have such a high appearance as our Shen Juan? Do you have such outstanding creative talent and singing skills as our Shen Juan? I want to ask
For example, the opening song of the finals, "Ticking Away", will be passed down and become a deep memory of Shen Juan in the hearts of countless League of Legends players.

Without any fan filter, judging objectively from a pure passerby's perspective, this song is indeed a classic and can be called a T0-level theme song for Riot's game.

Shen Juan's performance on stage was also quite perfect, which not only made fans proud and surprised passers-by, but also attracted many professional music critics and music bloggers to take advantage of the popularity and react and comment on the performance of this song.

Even Ding Taisheng, a well-known Chinese music critic who bites everyone he sees and can't help but kick a sleeping stray dog on the roadside, gave a very high evaluation of this opening stage and even Shen Juan himself:
"The League of Legends promotional song "Ticking Away" is undoubtedly a truly high-quality work. The arrangement is not only full of details, but also very consistent with the theme. The singer's live performance is also quite outstanding. Shen Juan can basically speak of the top performance of the new generation of singers in this era."

"And we should know that Shen Juan actually prefers R&B. For example, the song "Don't Ask, It's Scary" he sang in "Tomorrow's Son" can be called a textbook-level R&B performance. Every detail he handled is worthy of applause."

"So what I want to say is that we need more singers like Shen Juan who are truly talented and capable, and who love music and are willing to study it seriously, to turn around the decline of the Chinese music scene."

"I suggest other young singers learn from Shen Juan instead of naming him to attract hatred. What's important is not his current strength, but the progress and changes he has made over the years."

"Come and see how a trainee who had nothing but a face in Star Asia two years ago has made it to where he is today!"

"In my heart, Shen Juan is definitely one of the top three singers of the new generation, even if he is not the best!"

It is really not easy to get Ding Taisheng's recognition.

Of course, in fact, as Ding Taisheng and many netizens said, this type of theme song is very difficult to sing well live, and it requires very high standards from the singer.

Those singers who can only live in the recording studio and audition and refine the sound over and over again before they dare to release a song, and who can only be heard but not seen in person, would probably not dare to go on stage even if they are invited.

They were worried that an epic car accident would occur in front of millions of viewers around the world, ruining their reputation.

So at first, when Shen Juan’s fans learned through the gossip of a Weibo marketing account that Shen Juan would be on the stage of the League of Legends Global Finals and perform at the opening ceremony with Zhou Naicha and others, their first reaction was of course excitement and pride. This is a top exposure resource that other traffic sources cannot even get!
But after calming down and regaining his sanity, he couldn't help but worry about his idol.

Singing in the Bird's Nest is not that easy.

Many singers choose to sing with a half-open mic.

But if he does that, some people will accuse him of lip-syncing.

After all, they had always used Shen Juan's live performance, which was as stable as his studio version, to torture and criticize others.

If he suddenly opens the microphone, won't all the boomerangs he threw before hit him?
But if he sings with the microphone on, if he fails to sing well, it will affect Shen Juan's image and future development.

Millions of people around the world are watching. If this turns into a car accident, it will probably become a lifelong black history.

From now on, whenever there is a fight among fans about music, the opponents will bring this up and make sarcastic remarks.

It's scary just thinking about it.
In short, no matter what Shen Juan chooses, those damn black fans from his rival team will find an angle to attack him.

Fortunately, Shen Juan finally chose to sing with the microphone on, and he really completed this most difficult but also the most profitable path.

Through this most direct and violent way, his vocal strength is highlighted, which creates a qualitative gap between him and other traffic singers who are not very good at their business.

We really didn’t follow the wrong person!

Shen Juan is simply omnipotent!

His strength is truly beyond ordinary people!

If anyone disobeys our Brother Juan in the future, just throw the stage video of this song in her face and be done with it.

Just thinking about it makes me so cold.

So even though Shen Juan is thousands of miles away from these fans from all over the world, even though Shen Juan may never know their names in his entire life.

But as long as I see him shining on the stage, my heart will still be proud and full of hope.

He is handsome, talented, and loves fans. This is a high-quality idol who can make fans truly happy!
The game ended just in time for lunch, so we called it a day and left.

In fact, before this, Riot Games also invited Shen Juan to participate in their League of Legends Global Music Festival.

It is said to be the first time in the world to be held, and the time was set at 7:30 last night, and the venue was the Water Cube.

But Shen Juan had no interest in this invitation.

On the one hand, the number of invited guests for this music festival is limited. The electronic music giants such as Li Yundi, Pidgeon, Rainbow Band, and Alan Walker may have some status abroad, but they are nothing in China.

Didn’t you see that even the now-obscure Huang Zitao dared to casually torture Little Martin, who is number one among the top 100 DJs in the world?
In China, as long as you are not as famous as Taylor, Rihanna, Bieber and MJ, no matter you are Dualipa or Olivia, you are not as good as our top domestic entertainment stars.

There is no way. The economy is booming and the market is bigger. We no longer need to rely on foreign capital. It’s time to be proud.

Of course, we can't be too arrogant. Otherwise, we will probably repeat the abstract situation of the Qing Dynasty hundreds of years ago when we were a country with vast territory and abundant resources and closed to the outside world.

Just imagine that without external pressure, domestic entertainment capital would randomly feed the answers to the audience, and the audience would have no choice but to be forced to eat it. This would probably be really unbearable.

Of course, there are already such signs, but none of this has anything to do with Shen Juan. He is just an ordinary artist who has just entered the industry. No matter what, it is not his turn to change the overall environment and rectify the domestic entertainment industry.

Back to the topic
Shen Juan feels that as his popularity and status increase, it is time for him to realize that he is a top star.

At the very least, it is necessary to raise his status as an artist. He shouldn't just rush to attend any event or party as soon as he receives an invitation from the organizer.

A top streamer should behave like a top streamer!
It's not just any rubbish event that can be invited.

There was no other work arranged for tonight, and Shen Juan was not in a hurry to go home, but instead came to a private club.

Jay Chou invited him to a get-together.

Led by the club's waiter, Shen Juan, wearing a mask and sunglasses, walked into the most hidden private room inside.

I pushed open the door and took a quick look. The atmosphere was quite lively and it looked like they had been drinking and chatting for a while.

The participants of this party were mainly the staff of Zhou Milk Tea's team and those yes-men who always followed Zhou Milk Tea around, boasting about him and flattering him, making him immersed in his own world.

"Xiao Shen is here? This is Guanlin and this is Xiaomai"

Zhou Nai Cha took the initiative to stand up to greet them and introduced everyone present to Shen Juan. Shen Juan also greeted them one by one with a smile, being quite humble and polite.

"Why are you so late?" Zhou Naicha was still in a very relaxed mood at the moment, and seemed not to be affected at all by the netizens' sharp comments on his opening performance.

That’s right, this guy doesn’t even have a Weibo account.

I really don't pay much attention to news and public opinion in mainland China.

"I just came here after watching the game." Shen Juan sat in the seat that Jay Chou's bootlicker got up and gave up for him.

"Hey? Are you still watching the game? If I remember correctly, there should be two South Korean teams playing today, right?"

"Well, actually I mainly want to experience the competitive atmosphere of the live show. I feel it is very helpful for the emotional involvement when writing songs and singing." This sentence is half true and half false. It is really about the part about emotional involvement.

What’s not true is that he never needs to collect inspiration when writing songs.

"Oh, that's good~" Zhou Nai Cha looked surprised, "You can think of using this method to improve yourself. I really think you are more and more extraordinary now."

"No, no, you're still far from Brother Jie Lun." Shen Juan flattered him with a forced smile.

Although he looks down on the traffic stars headed by Wu Jiaheng, he still respects the real music predecessors like Zhou Milk Tea, Tao Zhe, and Wang Lihong.

"It doesn't matter, you're not bad! And you're still very young. When I was 19, I was still writing songs for people behind the scenes, but you were already performing at the Bird's Nest at 19."

The smile on Zhou Naicha's face was very relaxed, and it was obvious that she was very pleased with the praise from the young singer.

“But you released an album when you were 21. I don’t know how many times I’ve listened to that album ‘Jay’.”

“Which song do you like best?”

"Lovely woman."

Jay Chou laughed again, "I thought you were going to say other songs, like The Clock in the Reverse Direction and Tornado."

"Because this is the first song of your first album, Brother Jay Chou. The "woo" at the beginning seems to have opened an era that belongs to you." Shen Juan started talking.

"Damn it! Are you always so sweet-mouthed?"

"Then I can be sweet in front of the people who score, for example, you and Mr. Tao Zhe."

"Hahaha, Tao Zhe is also very good. Let me test you. Do you like him more or me more?"

"No, brother. You are sitting right in front of me. How can I not give you face?" Shen Juan spread his hands helplessly.

"So if the person sitting in front of you now is David Tao instead of me, would you say it differently?"

"What else?" Shen Juan shrugged.

“I think you are quite frank.”

After chatting for a while, the atmosphere gradually became lively, and Jay Chou began to appreciate Shen Juan, a young junior with excellent conditions in all aspects, so he got to the point: "Xiao Shen, are you free next month?"

"There's plenty of time."

In fact, many popular stars are not as busy as the outside world imagines. As for him, if he is not filming a movie and is just making music, he is basically in vacation mode unless it is the album production and promotion period or the tour stage.

"Then I have a song here that I think is very suitable for you. Do you want to play it together?" Zhou Naicha invited.

"What song?" Shen Juan was surprised and curious. He didn't expect that his senior would take the initiative to invite him to sing a song when he went out for a meal.

"This is a new song that I wrote during a celebration party after a concert. I plan to release it on my birthday next year. It tells the story of a young man who regrets that he didn't study hard when he was young and was admitted to the same university as the girl he loves."

"So I'm only responsible for singing it right?" Shen Juan meant that he was willing to accept the invitation.

"Let's do it together, each of us." Jay Chou really likes Shen Juan's trust in him, as he accepted the song without even asking any questions.

"Then there shouldn't be any problem on my end, but if possible, it'd be better to schedule it in early next month, because I have a lot of schedules in the second half of the month, so it might not be convenient for me to cooperate with your work, Brother Jie Lun."

"It doesn't matter. The most important thing about playing music is to have fun. I'll have more time next month, so I'll just cooperate with you."

"So has the name of this song been decided?" Shen Juan had actually guessed what the song was.

"Wait till you finish class."
