Huayu: Were you ever a top star before writing nonsense?

Gao Yuanyuan finished an early shift today.

She didn't have any scenes to film at night, so she left early.

Back at the hotel, she took a nice shower, put on her bathrobe, and eagerly opened her laptop, then went to QQ Music's new song chart.

"Shen Can's new song... has been found. 'A Person Like Me' is ranked fifth. The third and fourth ranked songs ahead of this song are 'Crescent Bay' and 'Agent J', while the first and second places are still Shen Can's new songs 'Rice Fragrance' and 'The Brightest Star in the Night Sky'."

Gao Yuanyuan's expression turned strange. This list inexplicably gave her the feeling that Shen Can had sandwiched Jolin Tsai and Fei Er like a sandwich filling.

Gao Yuanyuan blinked, shaking off the jumbled thoughts in her mind.

"He is indeed very talented."

She has said this more than once.

Her feelings toward Shen Can were complicated. When she first learned about him, she was angry that he wrote gossip about himself for the sake of traffic. But after Shen Can did many bad things to her, she got used to it. As a human being, who doesn't encounter a few enemies?

Now, it's mostly out of curiosity.

I'm curious how far Shen Can can go in the music industry.

Over the years, there have been quite a few singers in the music scene who have become wildly popular because of their songs.

For example, Pang Long who sang "Two Butterflies," Zhang Hanyun who sang "Sour and Sweet Is Me," Xu Huaiyu who sang "Fluttering," and Xie Jun who sang "That Night"...

As someone who isn't a singer but is very close to the music scene, Gao Yuanyuan knows very well that some singers really do become famous almost suddenly, without any reason.

There is indeed a bit of mystery involved.

However, many of them are just a flash in the pan, becoming popular for a while before fading into obscurity.

Pang Long, Zhang Hanyun, and others are in the same situation.

How far can Shen Can go?

Will it only be a short-lived phenomenon, or will it remain a popular trend for a long time?

Although Shen Can can compose and sing, inspiration always runs dry.

Moreover, investors may not necessarily want to see another top-tier singer in the Chinese entertainment industry.

It's important to understand that the commercial value of a top-tier singer is quite formidable. The more endorsements Shen Can secures, the less profit certain singers and entertainment companies will receive.

The struggle for interests has always been brutal.

Just like Jay Chou, although he is a top star, he is often criticized. At the worst time, even his fans didn't dare to say they liked him.

Capital may well be at play in this.

This situation also exists in the acting industry.

Gao Yuanyuan thought of herself...

Shen Can is likely to face a storm soon.

For singers like Shen Can who come from small companies, the road ahead will be very difficult, extremely difficult.

However, Gao Yuanyuan felt that Shen Can was not without a chance to become a top star. This person was as thick-skinned as a city wall and acted in a crazy way. It was hard to say whether, after capital got involved with him, it would be capital that messed with him or he who messed with capital.

Just then, Xiaoyu knocked on the door, carrying a takeout box.

"Sister Yuanyuan, dinner's ready."

"Wait for me a moment."

Gao Yuanyuan logged into her Sina blog.

She hasn't logged in here for a long time; her last blog update was on February 18, 2006.

Because many people were criticizing her on her blog, she simply stopped updating it.

But today, she wants to make an exception.

After listening to "A Person Like Me," I was reminded of a song called "Courage." I hope everyone has courage, and I also hope that someone in Shanghai can listen to it.

This log has two meanings.

Firstly, on the surface, it means that everyone should have the courage to face life's difficulties.

Secondly, he addressed the previous gossip surrounding Shen Can, saying, "Didn't you say you liked me? Stop bragging and show me what you've got."

Don't try to guess what I'm thinking. You'll see if you dare to do it first.

Gao Yuanyuan narrowed her eyes slightly. She had to admit that doing this was very exciting, like teasing an innocent young boy.

After posting her blog entry, Gao Yuanyuan opened her bedroom door and began eating dinner.

Twelve minutes later, she received a text message on her phone.

[Yuanyuan, how did you know I was in Shanghai? I...]

The message is from Xia Yu.

Gao Yuanyuan didn't read the rest of the message; she simply deleted it and blocked Xia Yu's contact information.

"Forgot about him...bad luck."

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Inside the Shanghai Theatre Academy campus, early birds chirped in the trees, a gentle breeze rustled the leaves and drifted into the cafeteria, where the cafeteria staff were busy preparing breakfast for the students…

Shen Can glanced at the situation inside the cafeteria and quickened his pace toward the playground.

He enjoys morning runs.

Moreover, he is not the same person he was yesterday.

At least from a physical perspective, that's the case.

Just last night, he spent popularity points to redeem all the newly set rewards in the system, including Michael Jackson's dance ability, suona playing ability, physical enhancement cards, etc., for a total of 35.4 popularity points.

There are 37.8 popularity points remaining in the system.

Although this time the popularity points for redeeming rewards were consumed in large quantities, due to his recent high popularity and the increasing number of readers of his novels, there are still some left in the system.

"I am terrifyingly strong now."

Shen Can felt the powerful energy within his body and wanted to unleash it.

He felt that at this moment, he might be able to win a gold medal if he went to the Olympics. He had a chance to win in events like sprinting and long-distance running, which test purely human physical abilities.

But Shen Can only thought about it; he had no intention of getting involved in sports.

The sports world isn't easy to get into. Without connections or a background, once you're in, you're just another piece of meat.

For example, table tennis, basketball, and so on.

It's nowhere near as carefree as being in the entertainment industry.

Although there is capital and great power in the entertainment industry, there is always a stronger force than capital.

Just find opportunities to cultivate a few layers of prestige for yourself, such as donating to disaster relief, singing revolutionary songs, or making films and television shows that promote positive energy.

This is Jackie Chan's approach; despite his womanizing ways, his reputation has always been solid.

With these thoughts in mind, Shen Can walked all the way to the playground.

Lou Yixiao is warming up before running ahead, while Li Jiahang and his friends have already started running in the distance.

"Good morning, senior."

Shen Can greeted her with a smile. After these days of morning runs, he and Lou Yixiao had become familiar "running buddies".

Lou Yixiao did lunges and stretched her legs, then smiled at Shen Can.

"Are we teaming up again today?"

"No need, you run first."

"Okay, by the way, congratulations on your new song's huge success. You're practically the top guy in our department," Lou Yixiao exclaimed.

"You're just offering congratulations with words, can't you give me something more substantial? Like, introduce me to a girlfriend or something."

Lou Yixiao smiled and gave Shen Can a sideways glance:

"Do you need me to introduce you?"

"I'm single, senior." Shen Can raised an eyebrow.

It's not hard for him to find a girlfriend; he just wants to tease Lou Yixiao.

"Then you have to beat me first. Oh, right, you said it yourself. I can go first. I'll go first."

Lou Yixiao waved goodbye to Shen Can, then turned and joined the morning runners, running along the track.

Shen Can began doing her pre-run stretches methodically.

Not urgent.
