Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 194 A Love Letter to Alovers

"eating?"

"Well, what's the matter?"

While Shen Juan was having dinner in the restaurant, he suddenly received a call from his agent.

After recording the show, Shen Juan attended the social dinner organized by Teacher He as usual.

Yang Yangjin went to the company headquarters to report to President Du, who wished he could follow Shen Juan throughout the whole process and watch him move towards the pinnacle step by step, about the work done during the album promotion in the United States some time ago.

(When Du Hua thought of Shen Juan's great popularity overseas, she couldn't help but hum: Isn't it more interesting to personally cultivate a world-class idol than to cultivate idols in China? Can a boy band or a girl band help a company go public? Can an obscure idol whose popularity is limited to China help a company expand its overseas popularity and develop overseas business? I am playing the high-end route that others can't play even if they want to~)

"I booked a flight for you for tomorrow afternoon. Remember not to be late. I won't go with you then. I just returned home and have a lot of work to deal with."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, sis."

"Then let's talk about the specific work that will follow. First, there will be the American Public Music Awards in Las Vegas on the 20th. They have invited you to perform as a guest. Please think about which song to use in the next two days and then tell me so that I can contact them as soon as possible."

"Don't they have any designated songs? You know, it's really troublesome to make a choice." Shen Juan was distressed.

"Just choose from the singles in your album that have been on the Public Label Hot 100! It shouldn't be difficult."

To put it bluntly, when performing on stage at an awards ceremony, you must choose a hit song that has achieved certain results.

"If I Can't Have You" and "In My Blood" have been performed too many times in recent times, so there is no need to use such a good stage opportunity to promote them.

Then, after "Seven" made it into the top ten of the B chart's hot 100, its potential was drained and it has never recovered.

And this song itself is not that popular in North America.

Data from Spotify shows that the listeners who contributed streaming media to this song are mainly concentrated in East Asia, Southeast Asia and Latin America.

So after comprehensive consideration, the only options are "Dancing with Strangers", "Pretty People" and "Golden Hour".

"Then the World Cup is coming soon. Recently, all the teams that have entered the World Cup are collecting and selecting their team songs. Portugal wants to use your song "In My Blood". If you think it's okay, they will find a Portuguese singer to work with you on the English-Portuguese version."

(The original time and space Mengde's resources, because he has Portuguese ancestry, so he sings in English and Portuguese by himself, and B station has resources)

"Of course I can, but how do I arrange the time? I can't go to Portugal just for this, can I?"

Shen Juan felt that these resources were average.

It is a pity that it is tasteless.

After all, Portugal has a population of only 10 million, so even if everyone listened to it, it wouldn't gain much popularity.

"Don't worry, they will arrange the work schedule according to your schedule. Aren't you going to the United States to attend the Billboard Music Awards on the 20th? It can be arranged then."

In that case, Shen Juan has nothing more to say.

Although this team song itself cannot get much traffic and popularity, but if I remember correctly, the Portuguese captain will play a game that will shock the world in the group stage of this World Cup, so it would be good to let Universal make an effort at that time and cooperate with this game for marketing and traffic.

In a sense, it can be considered a tie song.

But it relies on Ronaldo's traffic.

"Another thing is that your attendance at the Met Gala this time paid off. The American version of Harper's Bazaar invited you to the United States to participate in the photo shoot as the cover character of the June issue. It's a solo cover, and they will let Tiffany and Dior pay for you."

This is indeed a great resource.

They are both fashion magazines, so what is the difference between the American version and the Chinese version that domestic celebrities are scrambling to appear in?

Simply put, the four versions of the magazine, British, French, American and Italian, are the most prestigious in the global fashion circle.

Because China's luxury goods market is large enough, the Chinese version of the magazine can barely be ranked in the second tier.

And there is actually a gap between the recommendations.

In some cases, brands pay to buy magazine covers and have their chosen spokespeople appear on them; in other cases, magazines ask brands to pay to have their chosen spokespeople appear on the covers.

Shen Juan is undoubtedly the latter.

Even the people at Tiffany and Dior were a little surprised that Shen Juan had developed to such a point that he could directly bypass them and touch the cover of the magazine.

Are we the ones in town?

After answering the phone, I came back and walked into the box.

"What good news is there, Xiaojuan? Why are you so happy?" Seeing Shen Juan coming back with a big smile on his face after answering the phone, He Jiong, who was in high spirits, asked with a smile.

There weren't many people at the social gathering tonight.

There are four people participating in the recording of today's program: He Jiong, Wang Jiaer, Shen Juan, and Li Yitong, as well as Huang Lei, who was specially called by He Jiong to ease the relationship with Shen Juan.

There is actually no need to ease up.

After all, Shen Juan himself did not have much ill will towards Huang Lei, who cooked terrible dishes and loved to feed everyone chicken soup.

Of course, I don’t have any good feelings towards him.

With his current status and position, he doesn't need to deliberately please these seniors in the circle.

"My agent talked to me about some work matters." Shen Juan sat back in his chair and explained with a smile, "The World Cup theme song I recorded earlier will be released soon."

"What? World Cup?!" Huang Lei, who was always paying attention to Shen Juan, was stunned when he heard the news. Is this true? Can our team return to the World Cup?
"Ward! World Cup!" Wang Jiaer was also shocked by the news and held his head in his hands.

I'm still worrying about my "Fendiman", but others are already singing the World Cup theme song?

Fortunately, Alex is not my rival, and I don’t consider him as a competitor, otherwise the gap would be so big that it would really make people lose their fighting spirit and the desire to work hard.

Shen Juan was fine, because he had already been excited once before, so his mood was just that now. At most, seeing their surprised, envious and proud faces, he felt a little secretly happy.

"It's not that exaggerated, because what I recorded this time was the official World Cup theme song of Coca-Cola, not the official theme song. Coca-Cola basically releases its own theme song for every World Cup, and the most famous one is the "Waving Flag" in the South Africa World Cup with the theme of "When I get older I will be stronger"."

This song was so popular at the time, even more popular than the official theme song "Waka Waka", that many cover versions emerged around the world.

Anyway, there is a song called "Flag of Victory" released in China, which was co-produced by Wuying Ge and Zhang Liangying, and it's pretty good.

Then the official theme song of Coca-Cola in 14 is "The World Is Ours", and the domestic Chinese version "The World Is Ours" is sung by the famous lip-syncing band Mayday.

"It's already very impressive!" Li Yitong, who was sitting next to him, smiled and gave Shen Juan a thumbs up.

He Jiong also came over with an excited and relieved look on his face and gave him a hug: "I never thought that our Mushroom House would one day produce a talent who could sing the theme song for the World Cup!"

He was truly excited and proud from the bottom of his heart for Shen Juan, a junior whom he liked and had high hopes for, for achieving such a high level of achievement.

In fact, there’s no need to wait for the song to be released and receive market feedback. Just releasing the news will cause a stir in China and even in neighboring South Korea.

(Compared to South Korea, which has to go overseas, Japan is relatively better because their music market is large enough, similar to the reason why domestic entertainment and film and television dramas do not need to be exported overseas. They are completely self-sufficient and naturally have the right to close their doors and remain self-contained.)
Because whether the song itself is popular or not is actually not important at all, what really matters is the meaning it represents.

It is impossible for a pop singer to be invited to sing the World Cup theme song unless he or she is famous enough.

What's more, this World Cup is held in Russia, and Russia belongs to Europe, so there is absolutely no possibility of giving Asian singers a backdoor. So apart from "I am awesome" and "I am great", there seems to be no need to say more about the rest.

After some congratulations and thanks, the waiter came in to serve the dishes, so the five people finally stopped flattering Shen Juan and started to eat slowly.

The dinner took about two hours.

At first they were talking about things in the entertainment industry, such as the current broadcast status of "Longing for Life" and audience feedback. Many people liked the way they got along with each other.

Shen Juan said that a female guest could be added next year.

For example, Wang Jiaer said that his new single will be released on the 25th, and asked Shen Juan to help promote it then.

Shen Juan said they could shoot a TikTok video later.

That’s right, Shen Juan, who has captured the hearts of Generation Z teenagers, will naturally not let go of the popularity of Yangdou.

In fact, Tiktok has quickly monopolized the short video field since it entered the US market in January this year.

As a major traffic generator for Tiktok, Shen Juan naturally became one of the first mainstream stars to settle in Tiktok, thereby gaining a lot of fresh traffic and popularity.

For example, when Li Yitong was talking about her drama "Beauty Without Borders" which will be aired in July, Shen Juan said that he had also received the script at the beginning and "almost" took on the show.

"Shen Chasha" appears again.

(It refers to the fact that Shen Juan became very popular overseas some time ago, and the film and television drama projects of major domestic platforms are all using Shen Juan's popularity to attract traffic, and a small number of TV dramas that are about to be launched said that they almost signed Shen Juan.)

However, as the conversation progressed, the topic inexplicably went off the track and began to talk about daily life and Huang Lei's favorite principles and philosophy of life.

Although everyone was more or less helpless, overall, the atmosphere at the dinner was quite good.

The relationship between Shen Juan and Huang Lei also eased (in the eyes of Huang Lei and He Jiong).

Because Shen Juan maintained a gentle and polite smile throughout the entire process, he neither talked back nor refuted, and the aggressiveness he displayed was even weaker than when he was recording the show.

After Huang Lei took the initiative to pay the bill, everyone went back home.

Li Yitong was sitting in the nanny car, whispering to her agent in a way that even the driver couldn't hear.

"You performed very well today. It's rare to see you take the initiative. How are you getting along with Shen Juan and the others?"

The agent was very satisfied with Li Yitong's performance at work today. In her opinion, the fact that she could take the initiative to socialize and blend into Shen Juan and He Jiong's social circle was a reflection of her ambition.

"It's okay." Li Yitong recalled today's interactions and smiled with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"Is Shen Juan easy to get along with?"

The agent asked this, obviously having heard the rumors in the circle that Shen Juan was arrogant and difficult to approach.

"Easy to get along with, what? Do you believe those rumors that are obviously slanderous?"

"Just curious."

"Even if it's just curiosity, it's an offense to others." Li Yitong said seriously.

"You're so protective of him, do you have feelings for him?"

"What? We're talking about this on our first meeting?"

"There are many playboys and playgirls in this circle who fall in love with each other and run to get a room the moment they meet."

"I'm not, anyway."

"Then I hope you never go down."

The two of them had a relaxed conversation in the back seat about today's recording of the show and the dinner experience.

After that, they got tired of chatting and gradually calmed down.

Li Yitong took out her mobile phone and suddenly found that a friend who was not in the entertainment industry had sent her a WeChat message. The reason was that she had posted a group photo of the dinner party to her circle of friends.

[Wow, Sister Xue, are you having dinner with Shen Juan? Ahhhhhh I'm so envious! 】

[Could you please tell him that I love him very much and will always love him! ]

Then a video link was sent.

The name is.
A Love Letter to Alovers

Li Yitong took out headphones from her pocket and put them on, then curiously clicked on them and started watching with interest.

The background music is "All night" by LONG:D and Kim Do-yeon.

The video content mainly consists of a mix of Shen Juan’s performances in recent years, as well as a talking segment where he stands on the stage and interacts with fans in Chinese, English and Korean.

On the night of the PD101 finals, they said goodbye to their fans in the most romantic way on the grandest stage, bringing countless South Korean fans to tears with "Event Horizon".

On the night of the Chinese National Hip-Hop Finals, after months of fierce competition and anger, the audience returned to love and peace and sang "Don't Be Afraid of Getting Old".

"Ticking Away", which was performed at the Bird's Nest World Championship to announce to the world the upcoming Alex Fever, "If I Can't Have You", which was performed on the Victoria's Secret stage with all the charm and shining like a star, and "Seven" and "Angel Pt.1", which caused hundreds of trainees to quit being fans and join the group on the night of the finals of Idol Producer.

The new king of Coachella has arrived, the streets of Times Square in New York are empty, the solemnity and sacredness of the British Queen’s birthday celebration, the flowers and glory along the Thames
The video ends with a freeze frame of Shen Juan looking back at the Ending on the Coachella stage.

[A beauty so stunning that it makes your jaw dislocate. 】

[I met you in the crowded LA and you raised your hand to catch my rose. We will always shine.]

[There is always a passionate and pure relationship between him and his fans. I really love him sweating profusely and burning the tiredness of life on the stage! ]

[Alex reached another peak in his career during the Underrated period in terms of both stage performance and vitality. This brilliant half month will never be forgotten.]

[He is becoming more and more like a world-famous superstar. I am really lucky to like such an excellent person. In my opinion, Shen Juan is the most powerful training system in the world. 】

[I also want to be closer to him! Juan is the only ray of light that shines into my barren youth. I really, really like him, but the distance between us is too far.]

After watching the video and reading the comments, Li Yitong turned around with mixed feelings and looked at the scenery outside the window. The downtown area was still bustling, and she felt inexplicably emotional.

She hadn't lied before.

She is indeed a fan of Shen Juan.

But in fact, I just like some of his works, which is obviously not enough compared with those real fans.

But now, after a whole day of personal contact and interaction, and then watching this fan video
She gradually began to have the idea of getting to know him better.

It's neither like nor affection.

Just simply interested.

From trainees who were exploited by the company and were forced to appeal for termination of the contract, to South Korean idols whose popularity has dropped, to the champion rapper who set off the domestic rap craze in the first year of hip-hop, to the pop superstars who are gradually sweeping the world.
It seems that his existence itself is the most perfect template for the protagonist.

So what kind of person are you?
I'm really curious.
