Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 573 Is he managing his livestream time?

12 month 20 number.

Shen Juan has temporarily suspended the production of his new album and traveled to Nanjing with his team to attend this year's Tencent Video All Star Awards.

After several rounds of teasers, on the 18th, two days ago, the semi-complete guest list for this year's Tencent Video All Star Awards was finally released.

Shen Juan, Dilraba Dilmurat, Yang Mi, Yang Zi, Zhao Liying, Wang Yibo, Yang Yang, Jiang Shuying, Tang Yan, Luo Yunxi, Tong Yao, Yang Chaoyue, Zhao Lusi, Song Zuer, Zhou Ye, Tian Xiwei, Cheng Xiao, and Wang Churan, all of whom will be appearing in Tencent's S+ project last year, this year, and next year, attended the event.

The star power of the guest lineup surpassed all other fashion galas, second only to the Sina Weibo Night in the entire Chinese entertainment industry.

As for why it's called "half-complete"?

Tencent didn't include Xiao Fang, who was already confirmed to attend, in the list, fearing that revealing her too early would trigger another backlash from netizens.

It can only be said that Tencent has gone to great lengths to protect the commercial value of its flagship BL (Boys' Love) drama series from being affected.

It was almost 6 p.m., and after finishing my makeup, hair and styling at the hotel, and getting the photos taken, everything was finally ready.

Surrounded by his team members, Shen Juan met up with Tencent staff in the underground parking lot and headed to the venue together.

Get off the bus in ten minutes.

Amid cheers and screams from the crowd of fans, Shen Juan followed the staff to the public lounge where people were waiting for the red carpet.

The reactions of Shen Juan's colleagues, who hadn't yet walked the red carpet, varied as each of them saw him.

Xiao Zhan had mixed feelings, but he pretended to be calm.

Without Shen Juan, he would be a top celebrity.

It's a pity...sigh.
Why are my fans so stupid?
Is it inevitable that those who made their fortunes from wheat bran will face this calamity?
Since X was born, why add another member to the already tiring army?

Wang Yibo maintains a cool, expressionless demeanor.

I was hit by someone while riding my motorcycle and had to drop out of the race.

You drove your race car and knocked Wu Jiaheng out of the race, and not only did you not commit a foul, you even won the championship in two categories and broke the record.

This is so embarrassing!
Yang Yang pretended nothing had happened and acted as if nothing had occurred.

A person should know their own limitations.

There's no need to fight against an opponent you can't beat.

Trying to stop a chariot with a mantis's arm?

Wu Jiaheng serves as a cautionary tale.

My motto is "better to live a miserable life than to die a good death."

So it's no wonder Tencent cast him as Han Li; he's a very cunning guy, and in a way, it's a natural fit for the role.

However, unlike the male celebrities' unwavering determination, the female celebrities were much more friendly towards Shen Juan.

Song Qian, who has a close personal relationship with him, stood up and hugged him; Yang Zi, who had filmed a TV series with him, followed closely behind, lifting her skirt; Zhao Liying and Tang Yan, who are not close to him, smiled and greeted him; Yang Mi's eyes were almost brimming with tears as she looked at Shen Juan, hiding a kind of obsessiveness that was difficult for others to understand, and her unrequited love was becoming increasingly severe.
After greeting everyone, Shen Juan walked straight to the empty seat next to Dilraba and sat down steadily.

"You look great in this outfit today."

Her red carpet look today was absolutely stunning, living up to Shen Juan's praise. She wore a pure and romantic white gown with rose embroidery and a train, adorned with a ruby ​​crown from Mimoto, making her look like a beautiful and elegant noble princess who had stepped out of a rose estate. She was noble and aloof, and it even resembled a wedding dress.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

This gown is indeed from Amelia Casablanca, a legendary century-old wedding dress brand from Sicily, Italy.

"Thank you!" Dilraba said, glancing around smugly, taking in everyone's surprised, envious, or teasing reactions. Then she turned to Shen Juan beside her, her tone mischievous and playful as she probed, "I've noticed that you seem to have gotten sweeter, Shen Juan. Is it just my imagination?"

"It must be an illusion." Shen Juan shrugged. "Because it's you who feels sweet, I'm just stating the fact."

Dilraba was taken aback at first, then gazed quietly at Shen Juan's handsome features. After a few seconds, she smiled brightly.

"It seems like you're becoming more and more of a womanizer."

"We were just joking."

"What do you mean?"

"I was just kidding, bro."

"I knew you wouldn't say anything nice."

Dilraba was speechless. She felt like she was becoming desensitized to the kind of manipulative behavior that scumbags like Shen Juan love to engage in.

She knew perfectly well that Shen Juan was manipulating her emotions.

But the body is extremely honest and cannot resist.

Even deep down, she secretly enjoyed it, feeling that it was their unspoken, exclusive little secret.

All I can say is that this girl was overwhelmed by the CPU.

So much so that elements like Dihua (a type of Chinese folk art), older women pursuing younger men, and her absolute love for it were all included.

Yang Yang, who was wearing a white Dunhill suit but looked a little short overall, was taken away by staff.

Subsequently, the artists in the lounge got up one by one and walked towards the red carpet, taking turns to appear in the live broadcast.

This year's Tencent Video All Star Awards red carpet was essentially no different from previous years; it was just a series of photos against the backdrop and interviews.

However, there was a small hiccup this year.

That was when the members of the Teens in Times group, who later caused a bloodbath in the Chinese entertainment industry, came up with popcorn and accidentally spilled it on the ground. As a result, none of the female celebrities who appeared afterward were spared, and they all inevitably got hit, especially those wearing floor-length dresses.

Mao Xiaotong was the first to be affected; her expression changed when she saw the pile of popcorn on the ground. Then, Yang Mi, Zhao Liying, Dilraba, and others were also affected. I wonder what their reactions will be when they take off their dresses after walking the red carpet and see that their borrowed haute couture dresses have been dirtied.

His heart must be bleeding.
The hour-long red carpet event came to an end.

Finally, it was time for the evening's closing guest to appear on the live stream.

"Okay, the person who will be appearing on our red carpet is someone we believe our fans in the live stream have been waiting for a long time."

Following the instructions of the organizer, Tencent, and also adhering to his personal feelings and preferences, the host announced the arrival of the only superstar tonight, who was bringing starlight to the Tencent Video All Star Awards, rather than using the awards to embellish his own superstar status.

"That's our old friend from Tencent and the Tencent Video All Star Awards. Welcome our Golden Rooster Award-winning actor and pop king, Shen Juan!"

At the end of the red carpet, Shen Juan arrived as promised.

A black suit paired with top-of-the-line jewelry.

His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were defiant.

His brilliance shines through; he's the chosen one, Bking.

Her overall demeanor is both noble and domineering.

A low, barely suppressed gasp immediately rose from the crowd.

Shen Juan, who made a grand entrance as the finale, surprised everyone.

The media's spotlights all converged on him, as if everything around him had lost its color and become dull.

"His new movie 'A Little Red Flower,' which he stars in, is currently in hot pre-sale. Then, in 2021, the TV series 'You Are My Glory,' which he also stars in, will be broadcast on our Tencent Video platform. We are very much looking forward to Shen Juan's wonderful performance in the series!"

"In addition, his new album and new movie 'Love Like a Bouquet' will be released next year. Doesn't this full list of works make everyone look forward to it? As a fan who has always supported Shen Juan, I believe that each of his works will bring a different kind of emotion to everyone!"

"Welcome! Shen Juan, please leave your name on our autograph board and draw a little star that belongs to you."

Meanwhile, fans and netizens watching the live stream, especially those who are obsessed with good looks, also lost their tempers and made outrageous comments.

Sometimes I beg myself to stop watching Shen Juan, but then I find I can watch it even on my knees, and I even feel more connected to him! (Jiu Min)

No, I just changed my underwear, bro.

[Every step you take exudes an aura of seduction. Did you deliberately choose to be born in Shanghai to avoid me? Shen Juan, you bastard.]

[Go go go! Let's go! Shen Juan's dedication is so strong~~ I just want Shen Juan to be relaxed~~ On this hot day, I'm having a wonderful dream~~ I dreamt that I married him~~ I have the urge to get a marriage certificate~~ With him around, having a baby will be so much easier~~]

[Fun fact: Shen Juan and I have never appeared together, just like Ultraman Tiga and Daigo.]

[First glance at Shen Juan: Male; Second glance at Shen Juan: The rest of my life; Third glance at Shen Juan: Already born]

【Juanjuan, do you still remember me? Back then, we went to the Louvre to steal paintings together. The alarm went off, and you, just standing there, became a work of art yourself. Now, I'm still in jail, thinking of you, loving you, and missing you.】

Seeing this, I finally understand the essence of forced love. Every day, this great face, so unwillingly accompanying me, is what he does the moment I open my eyes—sitting by my bedside, looking at me emotionlessly, yet he has no choice but to stay with me. It feels so good!

Seeing everyone chatting so enthusiastically, Xiao Hu, whose poetic inspiration was overflowing, couldn't help but start typing and express his thoughts: "When I order takeout, I like to change my name to Shen Juan, so when the delivery person arrives, they'll say, 'Shen Juan, your takeout is here,' and then I can say my dad isn't home."

Wuhu~

Living in your grand mansion every day, lying on your big bed, wearing the shirt you left behind, making a video call to you, facing such an authoritative face, listening to such a pleasant voice, and then, under your guidance, using a replicated pseudo-spiritual root to cultivate immortality and break through bottlenecks on my own—just thinking about it is exhilarating!
At the end of the immortal path, who stands at the peak? A single glance at Shen Juan renders the Dao meaningless.

But I really don't have any underwear to change into!
Is this the legendary happy trouble?
Ugh, this is so frustrating!

I remember a song I really liked before, I think it was Li Ronghao's "No Compromise" which had a lyric that went something like that.
You ask me why I'm so stubborn and single-minded.

The world is too big; there will always be someone more suitable than you.

But I feel that the world is vast.
But no one will be more suitable than you. It was already 6:30 when you walked off the red carpet as the final act.

The awards ceremony inside the venue has begun.

However, Shen Juan did not rush to enter and take a seat. Instead, he returned to the private lounge that Tencent had arranged for him, changed into a formal suit and jewelry, ate some fruit to replenish his water and energy, and rested on the sofa for a while before following the staff waiting outside into the venue.

The seating arrangement for this year's Tencent Video All Star Awards remains the same as in previous years, with varying numbers of celebrity guests arranged on the same U-shaped sofa based on their star power and the awards they received.

Shen Juan glanced at it briefly
Zhu Xudan, Tian Xiwei, Cheng Xiao, and Wu Xuanyi sat together.

Yang Chaoyue, Zhao Lusi, Wang Churan, and Song Zuer sat together.

Zhou Ye sat with Zhang Ruoyun and others.

They collaborated on "The Sword and the Brocade".

Speaking of which, although Xiao Yi doesn't have enough exposure and isn't a regular on hit variety shows like Tian Jie and Xiao Xiao, such as appearing on Running Man and Longing for Chinese Restaurant, she still has many fans thanks to her impressive box office performance (Better Days plus Matchmaker's film has nearly 70 billion yuan in box office revenue), good business and fashion resources, and outstanding looks.

In any case, among the post-95 actresses who are doing relatively well now, there are only the three from "Burning Winter" (Ran Dong BG3) – Tian Xiwei, Zhou Ye, and Cheng Xiao; the three from "Produce 101" – Yang Chaoyue, Wu Xuanyi, and Meng Meiqi; the somewhat famous Yu Shuxin and Zhao Lusi; and Guan Xiaotong, a child star whose popularity exploded after announcing her relationship with Lu Han.

As for Lao Song, who also started as a child star?
She has gone astray and deviated from her course.

Acting and being a star are no longer her main profession.

Zhao Liying and Gao Weiguang were sitting together, while Wang Yibo, who was in the middle, had not yet arrived. He had worked with Zhao Liying on Tencent's "Legend of Fei".

However, the show's broadcast was only so-so.

Furthermore, due to the significant age gap between the male and female leads, it was difficult for them to have any romantic chemistry. In addition, their identities as a BL (Boys' Love) drama adaptation actor and a married young woman were quite sensitive, so they failed to generate any buzz for their on-screen couple pairing.

This can be said to have completely ruined the future of top-tier co-production dramas.

Dilraba and Luo Yunxi, who had just met, sat together. They received the same award tonight and will be receiving it on the same stage.

On the sofa at the very front and center, with Shen Juan's name tag on it, sat Yang Zi and Xiao Zhan.

The seating arrangement is quite interesting.

Shen Juan and Yang Zi collaborated on the phenomenal hit modern romance drama "Go Go Squid!", and the Tong Yan couple dominated that summer.

Xiao Zhan and Yang Zi collaborated on "The Oath of Love," but it has been shelved for a year and a half without airing. Therefore, Tencent plans to have them reunite at the Tencent Video All Star Awards to generate buzz, such as through a duet performance, in order to pave the way for the drama's subsequent release and Xiao Zhan's full comeback after more than 300 days.

The good thing is that it doesn't require social interaction.

Since Yang Zi and Xiao Zhan were busy backstage preparing for the upcoming stage performance, Shen Juan was happy to have some peace and quiet.

The first award presented tonight is Actor of the Year.

It was given to Sun Li.

Her TV series "An Jia" aired on Tencent Video this year and did quite well.

After Victoria Song's energetic singing and dancing performance came to a close, the second and third awards of the evening were also presented.

The online film of the year was awarded to "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Secret of Xiangxi".

The Best Online Film Actor of the Year award went to Chen Xingxu (the male lead of "Goodbye My Princess") and Li Kaixin (the Singaporean actress who was exposed in 2025 for her role in "The Breast Flower"). They co-starred in "A Chinese Ghost Story: Love in the Human World," which was released online this year. It received less than five points on Douban and was a complete flop, which is consistent with the usual reputation of online films.

Then, the Breakthrough Film Actor of the Year award was given to Chen Linong.

The movie "Soul Snatcher," starring this talent show contestant and Li Xian, raked in 150 million yuan at the box office, causing investors to lose over 100 million yuan.

Of course, losing money is one thing.

But that didn't stop him from coming to Tencent's annual meeting to receive an award.

After all, Tencent didn't participate in the investment, and Tencent didn't lose money. In fact, they would have preferred that the other investors lose more money.

Such talent, capable of crushing competitors, must be rewarded and encouraged!

I sat for a while longer.
Shen Juan found the party incredibly boring and secretly regretted leaving the lounge so early. So, right in front of the live stream cameras, he openly took out his phone and started slacking off.

The viewers in the live stream chatted about this scene, saying that Shen Juan was very busy with work, making millions every minute. They teased him about his time management skills, saying that he was using the excuse of choosing a female lead for a music video to select concubines online, or that he was chatting with friends about where to relax and have fun after work that night.

However, netizens were not wrong about him.

Because he is indeed good at time management.

Xiao Xiao's message came from fifteen minutes ago.

[Just kidding!]

She knew Shen Juan hadn't eaten dinner, so she specially sent him a picture of herself having dinner in the lounge to tease him.

So, under the watchful eyes of all the viewers in the dedicated live broadcast room, Shen Juan curled up the corners of his mouth and rapidly tapped on his phone screen.

[If you're trying to tempt me, you've turned the camera on backwards.]

Then I found a selfie of hers in my album and sent it to her, along with a simple caption: "This is the right example."

Xiao also praised D8's dress tonight, saying it was beautiful and gorgeous, and that she was amazed when she saw it from afar backstage.

Shen Juan comforted her, saying that small things are also cute. Well, that's roughly the idea, just not as direct or explicit.

It's fair to say that having a small frame is a disadvantage when it comes to red carpet looks. It's fine when wearing casual clothes, but when it comes to occasions that require wearing off-the-shoulder dresses, it exposes the shortcomings of her figure. If you add the Little Red Riding Hood vibe (Grandma was eaten by the Big Bad Wolf), it's really easy for her to give off an extremely childish feeling.

Of course, having a large frame is also not good.

For example, Guan Xiaotong is often ridiculed for being too muscular.

A body type and frame like Wang Chuan's would be more suitable.

Beautiful face and figure! Well-proportioned both inside and out!
Sister Tian feigned anger as she questioned Shen Juan, asking why she always managed to run into his fish whenever she casually attended an event or party. "Just how many women have you been involved with behind my back in these past few years?! Do you really have to unlock the '100-woman slayer' achievement before you stop?!"

Shen Juan didn't understand who she was talking about.

There were quite a few fish present tonight.

Sister Tian angrily typed three words: Zhu Xudan!

Then, coincidentally, Zhu Xudan sent a WeChat message.

Why are you so late? I've been waiting for you for so long, hoping to come in and find you, but now I don't have the chance.

You can come find me now.

After sending the message, Shen Juan looked back.

On the sofa, Sister Tian was chatting happily with Xiao Xiao and her best friend Wu Xuanyi, while Zhu Xudan was left out in the cold.

He was clearly excluded by the small group.

It's a little difficult to hold.

Dilraba is like this, Yang Mi is like this, and Zhu Xudan is like this. Does this mean that all artists from Jiaxing Entertainment are bound to be ganged up on and ostracized?
About half a minute later.
Shen Juan saw Zhu Xudan's reply.

[Dude, so many live stream cameras are pointed at us!]

That just shows you're still a bit of a coward.

Looking at the message from Shen Juan, Zhu Xudan helplessly pursed her lips, remained silent for a long time, and then couldn't help but sigh.

If she could, she would certainly like to sit in Hulao Pass like Sister Tian, ​​wielding her halberd and beating up the eighteen warlords.

But the conditions simply don't allow it.

Your Majesty, I simply cannot do it!
She lacked both Sister Tian's unparalleled skill in keyboard fighting and Sister Tian's courage to go all in and fight a desperate battle.

So I can only accept this mediocre and cowardly version of myself.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Chaoyue, Zhao Lusi, Wang Chuan, and Lao Song, who were on another sofa, also formed a chat group.

And coincidentally...
The topic of conversation was still him.

Anyway, all of these women sent him WeChat messages.

Yang Chaoyue was making small talk, but it was just awkward small talk.

Shen Juan didn't try to find a topic, and just awkwardly went back to the conversation.

Wang Churan said that Zhao Lusi seemed a bit too enthusiastic and ingratiating towards her and Lao Song, giving the impression that she was eager to use Lao Song's third-party channels to break into their circle. She also said that Yang Chaoyue was strange, always bringing up the Chinese restaurant incident from six months ago when she interacted with Shen Juan.

Shen Juan said that shredded pork was not his type, so he could rest assured.

Lao Song has a fever again.

She asked Shen Juan if he could treat her to thick tea tonight.

Shen Juan told her to go home and work as a miner herself.

He can only provide some remote video guidance at most.

After all, Xiao Mugou should have the awareness of Xiao Mugou.
