Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 190 Flirting and Being Flirted
As the two most important senior executives and the newly announced global spokesperson Shen Juan walked into the store hand in hand, the Tiffany brand ceremony kicked off.

At the ceremony, Tiffany first released the new Tiffany Paper Flowers jewelry series, and then unveiled the "Believe in Dreams" advertising campaign starring the famous American actress Elle Fanning.

Then we quickly entered into the free conversation session.

The star power of the guests tonight is quite good.

Tiffany's global spokesperson Shen Juan, Tiffany advertising star Elle Fanning, China brand spokesperson Ni Ni and China brand style ambassador Xu Weizhou, popular Hollywood actresses Michelle Williams and Sarah Paulson, as well as supermodels Naomi Campbell, Doutzen Kroes and Kendall Jenner of the Kardashian family.

As the man with the highest endorsement title and the most star power, Shen Juan naturally became the undisputed focal figure in this world of fame and fortune.

The crowd kept moving towards him.

As he was already "battle-hardened" and accustomed to socializing, he remained calm and responded to each social interaction one by one.

Soon, Shen Juan met Kendall Jenner, an internet celebrity model who became famous for being born into the Kardashian family and having many ex-boyfriends who play in the NBA.

"Alex, I'm Kendall, nice to meet you!"

This new generation top supermodel, who will soon be named the world's highest-paid model in 2018 by Forbes, showed such enthusiasm in front of Shen Juan, or the fiery eyes she looked at him, that the surrounding Tiffany staff and invited guests all smiled knowingly.

One is a new generation supermodel with a tall, well-proportioned figure and beautiful face, and the other is a new generation singer with superior looks, outstanding talents, and a fashion icon route.

Handsome men and beautiful women in the same frame are always pleasing to the eye.

But what if one of them is a member of the Kardashian family who came into the public eye through marketing bundling?

That’s when things get interesting.

Will we wake up tomorrow and read gossip about them meeting late at night and staying in a hotel?
Many people had similar thoughts in their minds.

However, Shen Juan did not think too much about it, but replied "Likewise" naturally and casually, and then followed the local customs and gave a big and polite hug to the beautiful girl who was wearing a silk see-through top with nothing stuck inside and was showing the shape of fruit.

It's nothing more than a simple chat to make friends and expand America's circle of friends. A real big shot would never be timid because of such a small thing.

As fans’ popularity and status increase, one’s attitude and vision must also be improved, otherwise one will become a nouveau riche.

"Alex, you are really popular recently! I can see news about you on the Internet almost every day. "Underrated" is definitely a great masterpiece! Many friends around me asked me if I know you. They all want to get to know you, Alex, through me."

In fact, the guests around her were right. Jenna was indeed willing to interact with Shen Juan, a supernova who was making great strides in the European and American music and fashion circles.

Perhaps in the eyes of netizens who are accustomed to using conspiracy theories to speculate on the development of celebrities, Shen Juan's achievements and popularity in the European and American music scene are all marketing-driven.

But she has a wide network of contacts and her own information channels in the circle, so she is very clear about how terrifying Shen Juan's current development momentum and future development potential are.

China, the world's second largest film market; Japan, the world's second largest record market; South Korea, an entertainment country that promotes the fan circle star-chasing culture and is keen on providing data for idols; and Southeast Asia, a country with a large population and promising future.
Anyway, for now, these countries and regions have become, or are becoming, Shen Juan’s base camp, providing him with a steady stream of fresh traffic and popularity.

Then, with Universal Music, the world's largest music company, sparing no effort in allocating resources and marketing and promoting artists in North America, it would be difficult for Shen Juan to remain obscure.

"Thank you. If there is a chance, I would also like to meet your friends." Shen Juan did not take these polite words, which were often used in business to flatter each other, seriously at all.

Although his current online popularity and voice are indeed very good, after all, it is just a temporary novelty.

He is just a shining shooting star.

There are precedents like Broken Eyebrow Mengde who failed and disappeared due to a long period of lack of hot orders.

He knows very well that if he wants to gain a firm foothold in the extremely competitive European and American music market, he needs more than just an album and a hit song.

“How many copies of the album have been sold so far?”

"I haven't paid much attention to it. Maybe there are two million copies?"

"Two million?!" Jenna opened her mouth in surprise.

If I remember correctly, this sales result would have been enough to rank in the top three even in last year's overall list.

Anyway, in her impression, last year it seemed that only Taylor's "Reputation" and Huang Laoshi's globally popular album "÷" sold more than two million copies.

"I'm not really sure, actually."

Shen Juan hasn't really paid much attention to this matter recently, because as the amount of money spent by East Asian fans has gradually decreased, the growth rate of album sales has gradually slowed down, so the current growth rate is the real natural increase in popularity due to the loss of fans.

"Well, no matter what, I still hope you can get better grades, Alex." Jenna took out her phone and sent a friend invitation with a smile: "How about taking a photo? Then we can follow each other on Instagram, so that we can have a channel to keep in touch."

Of course Shen Juan would not refuse. After all, this lady’s number of followers on Instagram has reached an astonishing 90 million.

Although there is suspicion of buying fans, no matter what, Shen Juan will not suffer any loss by engaging in some hype and friendly interactions with her online that will help attract traffic to himself.

(Not the same event look)

After saying goodbye to Jenner and making an appointment to meet again in LA when they have time in the future, other celebrity guests and people from the fashion circle who wanted to establish friendship with Shen Juan also gathered around.

Shen Juan was very friendly and chatted with almost everyone who came up to talk to him. In any case, there was no fault at all in his etiquette and attitude.

It took turns one by one, and I don’t know how long it was before it was finally the turn of a familiar family member.

(Fan Ning on the left, Ni Ni on the right)

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Long time no see." Ni Ni walked gracefully in high heels to Shen Juan, smiling brightly, "You are really busy. People keep looking for you to chat."

In fact, she had been quietly observing Shen Juan from a distance for a long time, waiting for him to finish his conversation with others.

But there is no need to say everything, because it would seem that she has been plotting for a long time and has bad intentions towards him. After all, the old cow is trying to eat the young grass.
It doesn't sound that good when you say it out loud.

“This is not a good thing.”

"But why do I feel like you're enjoying it?"

What you said hits the nail on the head. Shen Juan is indeed enjoying it.

Although he didn't like socializing, he enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention and being held high above others.

"What are you so happy about? I don't even know them."

But there is no need to admit everything honestly.

Because it would make him seem arrogant and vain.

Considering that there were media from China reporting the news, such as Penguin Fashion, which they had just interviewed, the two of them tacitly avoided talking about private matters that were not convenient to discuss in public.

Ni Ni specifically sought out Shen Juan to talk about "A Longing for Life" because she will be participating in the recording of the show as the closing guest of this season's show at the end of the month.

Shen Juan recounted the interesting things that happened to him and what he saw and heard while promoting his album in the UK and the US.

"I remember that day after the BBC performance, I had nothing to do, so my team members and I walked through Hyde Park and Kensington Park in the misty evening and came to the filming location of the movie Notting Hill. To be honest, the streets were a bit dirty and messy, but walking along the way, I really felt like I was watching a movie."

Shen Juan took out his cell phone from his pocket, opened the photo album and found the short film that his assistant helped shoot and edit that day, and handed it to the curious Ni Ni.

The BGM is Shen Juan's "Golden Hour".

The content is not much different from the photo blockbusters.

Although the shooting equipment is not as good as that of a professional team, Shen Juan's face is enough to make up for all the shortcomings and flaws.

So in a sense, this video makes up for the regret that "Golden Hour", which is very popular in China and loved by fans, does not have a MV.

“The most beautiful time of the day is just before dusk. The light at that time is the softest and not so bright, but it can make people look very soft and beautiful, so it is also called the Golden Hour, which is the golden hour in photography.”

Ni Ni read the text of this video softly.

Shen Juan followed closely and added the second half.

"And later, when people meet someone they like or do something they love, they will also call that moment the Golden Hour, for example."

However, when he read to this point, Shen Juan felt that it might not be appropriate to continue reading.

Because this sentence itself is a fan-pleasing and fan-satisfying rhetoric specifically said to fans, it seems a bit frivolous when said to other people and may easily cause misunderstanding, so I stopped.

Unexpectedly, Ni Ni completed it on her own.

"Like when I met you."

Shen Juan looked up with a normal expression on his face.

He saw that pair of slightly upturned lively eyes were also looking at him at this moment, and seemed to be staring for a few seconds, and then a mischievous smile flashed across them, and curved into a crescent shape.

"How's my joke going?"

"Just a joke?" Shen Juan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Just tell me what's going on!" Although Ni Ni didn't give a direct answer, the crescent shape formed by her eyes became even more curved.

Shen Juan looked a little surprised, as if he suddenly understood something, but he was not sure yet, so he hesitated for a moment and replied: "I think it's good."

Ni Ni's eyes flickered, "What's good about it?"

Shen Juan was silent for a moment, "I was attracted by you."

At about nine o'clock in the evening, this Tiffany brand ceremony, which was mainly used to launch new products, finally came to an end.

Shen Juan and other celebrity guests invited to attend the event were finally able to finish get off work and return to the hotel.

On the way back, Shen Juan received a call from Andrew, the American agent assigned to him by Universal.

Then I heard another good news from him. In order to keep his popularity as high as possible, Universal helped him get resources for two collaborative songs:
(With the help of East Asian fans, Shen Juan became famous too quickly in North America. His works did not have enough time to spread and ferment naturally, so he has not cultivated a group of fixed fans who support his works like Adele, Taylor and Bieber.

Therefore, his current development positioning in Europe and the United States is actually no different from that of the traffic in the domestic entertainment industry. They are all streaming singers who will see a sharp decline in popularity if they have not been exposed or have not produced new songs for a period of time. Therefore, Universal has to find a way to preserve his existing fans and traffic as much as possible.)
"Drown" was adapted by Martin Scorsese, who was ranked first in the top 100 DJs in the world last year, based on the original version.

(This song seems to be popular in the country because of Ultraman)
Benny Blancos, a gold medal producer from Virginia, USA, who is also under Universal, released his first single "Eastside" as an artist.

Although none of them can be considered as hit songs that can enter the B chart and trigger a listening craze and heated discussion across the entire network.

But no matter what, these two brothers have great talent, and the works they produce themselves are up to standard.

Moreover, this is a collaborative song, with dedicated people responsible for writing the lyrics, composing the music, and arranging and mixing the music. Shen Juan only needs to act as a tool and record the song.

So there is no reason for dissatisfaction or disgust.

Anyway, there are still a few days until the Met Gala, which is enough time for him to complete these easy and simple tasks.
