Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 574 They really have the resources to set up Shen Juan's scheme?
The gala is still progressing smoothly.

The host returned to the stage to announce the program.

"Attention everyone here, both at the venue and watching the live stream online! What you're about to hear is a brand new song making its debut on the Tencent Video All Star Awards stage! Are you ready? Get your applause and screams ready, and let's enjoy this brand new work together!"

After the host finished his introduction, he moved to the side stage of the main stage. All the lights in the venue suddenly went out, and then countless colorful shooting stars slowly fell from the sky. Against this romantic backdrop, Yang Zi, dressed in a nude-colored lantern-sleeved long dress, gracefully took the stage and began to sing "One Person Likes One Person".

As they were chatting, Shen Juan suddenly heard the audience behind him erupt in cheers. Curious, he turned around and saw countless red light boards lighting up one after another. Even though they were far apart and scattered, their sheer number created a bright sea of ​​red that was particularly eye-catching.

Moreover, the ambient lighting in the venue is also red.

So, due to the combined effect of both, even the faces of the celebrities sitting inside were tinged red.

He immediately understood what was going on.

The sea of ​​red that appeared at today's Star Awards was less a gift from Xiaofei fans to Wei Wuxian, and more a grand comeback stage carefully prepared by Tencent for its own crown prince.

Knowing that Wei Wuxian's support color is red, they deliberately set the ambient lights on the dome of the venue to red. Knowing that Wei Wuxian's fans were going to cause trouble tonight, they deliberately refused to accept the light sticks that the fans brought into the venue during the security check, just to create the current sea of ​​red to promote Wei Wuxian and announce that he will make a strong comeback next year.

Tencent (the company behind Tencent) is indeed not going to give up on a top star easily.

Don't you know my support color is also red? What's the point of creating a bankrupt version of the Red Ocean just for him?
Is he trying to use me as a stepping stone to gain marketing advantage?

interesting.

Shen Juan smiled meaningfully.

The VIP camera angles prepared for several top celebrities came in handy at this moment, capturing Hong Hai and Shen Juan's expressions and reactions and broadcasting the footage live.

The live stream chat room had already exploded with excitement.

He truly is like a king who crawled out of hell! So far, no one in the entire Chinese entertainment industry can rival him! I don't want to hear the name of that privileged celebrity favored by certain capital; he's not worthy of being compared to Zhan!

[You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time. Because there will always be people who will brave the malicious rumors and run towards and embrace this excellent young actor and singer caught in the vortex. Go Zhan Ge! Justice will prevail!]

Shen Juan's expression was intriguing.

[He's jealous, after all. Even at the peak of his popularity, he didn't achieve this. The red glow from everyone's fans is unbeatable! Shen Juan, now you understand how those peers you looked down on feel when they encounter you, right?]

[Haha, all I know is that each fan club has a limited number of tickets. If only XZ has more, their light sticks will be confiscated. If only XZ has more, every fan club's light sticks will be confiscated. How many will be confiscated depends on the prince's mood. This year's Tencent Video All Star Awards is essentially XZ's whitewashing and comeback event. Didn't you see that even the venue was secretly cooperating by turning on red lights to create a false impression?]

[Since Tencent is so determined to bring Xiao Zhan into this, can you please not drag me into it? Making a top-tier superstar who brings glory to the country, Asia, and all Asians overseas come all the way here to watch your clumsy performance? Don't you find that ridiculous or shameful? It's fucking unlucky!]

[I can't take it anymore! The fact that someone like Wei Wuxian can make a comeback is infuriating! It keeps me up at night. Capitalists are so disgusting to ordinary people!]

[This day has finally come. In a few months, the voices of resistance will grow fainter and fainter until no one remembers them anymore. Then, you will see someone stand on a higher stage, thanking fans with tears in their eyes for their unwavering support of Tencent Video. I've already uninstalled it; I was disgusted tonight!]

[This is so damn annoying! Foreigners are ganging up on Shen Juan, and his fellow countrymen are only thinking about using him. I've already uninstalled Tencent Video; I'll only use iQiyi, Youku, and Mango TV from now on. Tencent is using and bullying Shen Juan like this; we fans must stand up for him and demand justice!]

[Uninstall Alovers! Uninstall everyone! I refuse to believe Tencent can sit idly by if we suddenly lose millions of users! I swear no one in this world can bully Shen Juan! No one!]

Originally, fans thought their idol was just casually attending a party, but they never expected such a huge conspiracy to be hidden there. So, the angry fans immediately launched an attack on the behemoth that is Tencent.

After dealing with Wu Jiaheng, let's deal with Wei Wuxian and Tencent!

The fighting just won't stop!

And so a new hot topic emerged.

I wonder if Kris, who is still under lockdown and idle all day, will secretly laugh at himself when he sees someone else following in his footsteps and being targeted by the extreme evil forces of Little Spring Roll.

(The venue lights are so bright, the organizers are canceling the performance.)

After another long cake-cutting and awards ceremony, coupled with inconsistent stage performances, this five-hour-long and tedious awards ceremony finally entered its final stage, and the moment to present the "quasi-ultimate grand prize" of this year's Penguin Star Awards arrived.

"I hereby announce the 2020 Tencent Video VIP Stars: Yang Mi, Wang Yibo, Zhao Liying, Yang Zi, Wei Wuxian, Dilraba Dilmurat, and Yang Yang!"

Originally planned for eight people, Wu Jiaheng was banned across the entire internet.

There is no suitable replacement available at the moment.

Therefore, only seven people could go on stage to receive the honor.

As Sun Zhonghuai's announcement faded, the backstage lift slowly started moving. At the same time, screams from the fans surged like a tidal wave, creating a powerful atmosphere comparable to a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down. In this extremely enthusiastic atmosphere, the seven highly anticipated VIP stars finally took to the stage and lined up neatly in a row.

At this moment, everyone's attention is focused on these seven top influencers who symbolize status and glory.

Yang Yang has always had this problem, to the point that he has basically never won against TFB in the same frame, except when he beats them.

Wei Wuxian had narrow shoulders and a thin body.

Many male celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry who are over 180cm tall are like this.

There was another artist in later generations who also had extremely narrow shoulders.

Wang Yibo, dressed in Chanel, looks quite fashionable from a distance, but his eyes and hairstyle make him look like he hasn't woken up yet.

So for the fans of these three, the grand scene of seven top celebrities gathering on the same stage this year may be comparable to the six top celebrities' crowning night at last year's Star Awards (Yang Mi, Zhao Liying, Dilraba Dilmurat, Wei Wuxian, Wang Yibo, and Yang Yang). But in the eyes of Shen Juan's fans and casual netizens who have seen Shen Juan's style, it's really just so-so.

After all, if Shen Juan were to be put on the same stage to compete with other beauties, it would be an overwhelming visual massacre and torture without any suspense!

As in previous years, the seven VIP stars on stage received their respective honorary crystals from General Manager Sun, and then took turns to give their acceptance speeches and wishes for the coming year.

Starting with Wang Yibo, the cheers from the fans were very loud. Then, when it came to Zhao Liying, the screams immediately subsided. Then, when it came to Wei Wuxian, the screams erupted like a tsunami. Then, when it came to Yang Zi, the screams subsided again. This way of taking turns speaking can very intuitively reflect the difference in the decibel level of the support at the scene.

Aside from Wei Wuxian, who received extra fans with Tencent's help, causing his screams to be unusually loud, the screams of the other fans were generally in line with their current popularity and influence. This shows that Tencent treated everyone except Wei Wuxian fairly when it came to allocating tickets.

After the seven VIP stars stepped down with their honors, it was time for the real grand prize of the night—Shen Juan's turn.

Standing on the stage was Sun Zhonghuai again: "I hereby announce that Shen Juan is the winner of the Tencent Video 2020 Star Awards Gold Medal Peak Artist!"

The moment the name was announced, the entire venue erupted in cheers!

The screams erupting from the audience nearly shattered the stadium's dome. The surging sound, carrying scalding passion and an overwhelming force, instantly surpassed the heat and decibels of all previous artists' appearances. The frenzied excitement seemed poised to overturn the entire Nanjing International Expo Center.

Previously, when someone stepped over a fire pit with the help of the organizers to announce the return of the dead, Shen Juan's fans remained silent, leading many to believe that there weren't many Xiao Chun Juans present at the Star Awards tonight.

It turns out that they made a mistake.

The reason why Xiao Chun Juan hadn't shown up before was simply because it wasn't Shen Juan's turn to go on stage to receive the award yet, and they hadn't been given the opportunity to showcase their abilities. So they held back for so long until the party was almost over before they finally saw Shen Juan. Plus, they were furious because the organizers had tricked them. Of course, Alovers was extremely excited and thrilled!
They've long been annoyed by those Little Fairies who used connections to bring in their support signs and act all high and mighty!

They're all like country bumpkins who've never seen the world. The moment Wei Wuxian appears, they blush and become incredibly noisy. All they do is move themselves, and outsiders can't empathize or understand them at all. The whole fandom is like the Shoe Cult. No wonder they did something stupid at the beginning of the year that got their idol banned and sidelined for half a year.

So even if the organizers use some disgusting tricks to confiscate all their light sticks and even help Wei Wuxian create a ridiculous sea of ​​red light sticks, they will not easily admit defeat.

Although Brother Juan has said more than once that he doesn't need fan support, the most important thing is for everyone to live their own lives well.

At this stage where he has achieved outstanding results and received numerous honors, he certainly doesn't need the false prosperity unique to fan circles.

But we can't just stand by and watch him be exploited and bullied by capital!
Their oft-repeated phrase, "You protect the world, I protect you," is never just empty talk.

They genuinely wanted to protect Shen Juan, and they truly wanted Shen Juan to only shed tears of happiness from now on!

Amidst the continuous and increasingly intense screams from the audience, Shen Juan slowly walked onto the stage. He, who had maintained a cold and aloof BKing demeanor, first smiled at the few red areas in the audience stands that belonged to him, and then picked up the microphone to calmly deliver his acceptance speech for the evening.

Good evening, everyone. I'm Shen Juan.

"First of all, I would like to thank Tencent Video for this honor, and then I would also like to thank my fans."

"My little spring rolls, my Alovers!" The fans at the scene erupted in cheers once again.

Shen Juan stood on the stage and looked around.

Although the sea of ​​red was surging, without the help of the venue's ambient lighting, it was clearly not as impressive as the sea of ​​red that Wei Wuxian had created before.

But he doesn't care.

Because he knew that his fans had unleashed the most amazing power in the entire venue under such harsh conditions.

Each of them was doing their best to express the love they had accumulated in their hearts for many years to Shen Juan through their actions!

In some ways, this is even more impressive than the vast sea of ​​red that he previously dominated at major award ceremonies!
So after a brief moment of surprise and astonishment, Shen Juan on the stage felt a surge of genuine emotion welling up from the bottom of his heart.

Settle scores face to face; don't let them linger overnight.

Tonight, his fans helped him regain his composure through their actions, and it seems that this is how it has always been done over the years.

From withdrawing from the competition and returning home to suddenly breaking into the US, from being underestimated to becoming Sisyphus, from Wu Jiaheng to Drake, from obscurity to world fame. They unconditionally support any decision he makes, and at the same time, with the most selfless and passionate love, they forge a strong armor for him and accompany him through every ups and downs.

So he abandoned the polite words he had prepared in advance and decided to respond to this sentiment with more straightforward and sincere words.

“I wasn’t born great. I became excellent because of everyone’s love after I met everyone, was seen by everyone, and received everyone’s favor. Although I look good under the company’s packaging and idol halo, I know that I have countless shortcomings and flaws.”

"So I want to become better and stronger. I want to be able to show my love to you in a way that is worthy of your presence. I want each of you to be able to proudly call out my name and openly admit to your friends, classmates, colleagues, and family that I am your favorite star and your idol."

"Perhaps the time we spend with each other seems short now, only a tenth of each other's lives, but ten or twenty years from now, if we can still remember each other, if we are still exchanging love, then the path we have walked together will exceed half of each other's lives."

"Sometimes I want to selfishly keep you all by my side, but you are all living, breathing people. I can't be selfish. I respect you, I understand you, and I hope that while you make my life happier, you also make yourselves happy. So I hope that you love yourselves before you love me."

In the entertainment industry where traffic reigns supreme, the existence of celebrities inherently carries an irreconcilable contradiction and complexity.

Actors and singers need extreme empathy and sensitivity to immerse themselves in and experience the mood and emotions contained in the characters and songs.

Celebrities, on the other hand, need to be somewhat insensitive to the damage caused by the spotlight and avoid eroding their long-term passion for their profession.

People with strong empathy often help others but not themselves.

They are thoughtful and extremely sensitive when it comes to emotions.

This means that while showcasing their artistic talents, they are also highly susceptible to the influence and harm of external public opinion.

More realistically, this kind of ecosystem has directly led to many talented actors who are willing to hone their skills being buried by the market.

So is empathy a punishment or a blessing from heaven?
Everyone has a different answer.

For Shen Juan, sensitivity itself is neither right nor wrong.

The key is how to harness and make good use of this talent.

Like now.

Knowing how good his fans were to him, Shen Juan, who had always kept his emotions bottled up inside, was moved to tears.

"Although you all say that I thank you every time I stand on the stage to give an acceptance speech, that I will always keep you in my heart, that I will never forget your contributions, that I will always be sincere to you, and so on, I still feel that I owe you something."

"Without you, I can't sing, I can't act, I can't perform on stage, I can't promote my work, I can't go on TV shows, I can't go to the radio. Without you, I can't do anything, so I should thank you even more. I will never forget the reason why I received love from you in my life."

"Finally," Shen Juan glanced down at the gleaming gold trophy in his hand, smiled silently, and after a moment slowly spoke, "The staff told me that this gilded pinnacle artist award symbolizes reaching the top level in the industry and is a supreme honor of high value and rarity, but for me..."

He looked up at the sea of ​​red in the stands that belonged to him alone, his eyes glistening with long-lost tears, his voice filled with obvious warmth, his tone both earnest and gentle: "Your existence is what gives you high value and scarcity, you are the highest honor of my career."

"The world is never short of lovers, but it is short of people who know it will rain tomorrow and will remind you to bring an umbrella. So before everyone meets that person who makes them feel happy, excited, and sweet, and who makes them feel that this is the one for them, let me play the role of reminding everyone to bring an umbrella when it rains!"

"All the little spring rolls, all the Alovers."

"You changed my life."

"You will always be my glory."

Although the stage lacked some lighting effects that would have made the atmosphere more beautiful, the screams and tears from the fans in the audience made up for it.

In an instant, all eyes were focused on Shen Juan. Whether they were fellow artists or fans, everyone cast respectful and enthusiastic glances at him, making this divine moment an unforgettable snapshot.

As midnight approached, the Star Awards finally came to an end, and the audience and celebrity guests left the venue in an orderly manner.

Meanwhile, with the marketing support of their respective company teams, related terms for the Tencent Video All Star Awards began to trend on social media.

#Shen Juan's Acceptance Speech#, #TVB Awards Group Photo#, #TVB Awards Red Sea#, #Yang Zi Says Good Luck to Wei Wuxian#, #Dilraba's Second Look#, #Yang Mi's Hairstyle is Also a Bow#, #Shen Juan's Gold-Plated Peak Artist#, #Zhou Ye Tears Up#, #Tian Xiwei and Cheng Xiao Wipe Each Other's Tears#, #Wang Churan Cried#
Wei Wuxian, through the online community created for him by Xiaofeixia and Tencent, announced his strong comeback next year.

Douluo Continent and The Rest of My Life are both on the agenda.

However, Shen Juan's "earth-shattering cry" and tearful remarks stole the show, making it less than perfect as imagined.

Many fans even worry that whenever the 2020 Tencent Video All Star Awards or the touching red ocean that was only visible to fans is mentioned, Shen Juan's famous scene will be brought up.

The light was completely suppressed!
This is so annoying.
Dilraba successfully gained attention with her two stunning looks on the red carpet and inside the venue, once again garnering a huge wave of exposure and traffic.

Her status as the queen of the red carpet has become even more deeply ingrained in people's minds.

The appearance of Wang Yibo and Zhao Liying together on stage has brought attention to the TV series "Legend of Fei" in which they co-starred.

Yang Zi also took this opportunity to promote her two top-tier co-production dramas, "The Oath of Love" and "The Golden Hairpin".

Although Shen Juan was initially disgusted by being stepped over the fire pit, he still received the treatment he deserved when he went on stage to receive the award.

Moreover, his heartfelt acceptance speech, which brought tears to the eyes of countless fans, unsurprisingly became the focus of heated discussions across the internet, attracting a large number of netizens to actively participate in the discussion. They not only expressed that this was definitely a strong candidate for the best acceptance speech of the year in the Chinese entertainment industry, but also unanimously recognized that Shen Juan can be regarded as a benchmark and role model for all artists.

I really admire people who express their love at all times. I really admire how Juan Juan sincerely and directly reveals his love to us, without any pretense, just a natural expression. I'm not a crybaby, but I can't help but shed tears whenever I think of Shen Juan. Over the years, I've truly felt a lot of love from Shen Juan.

In this terrible life, I am truly blessed to have Shen Juan's presence. My love is insignificant; I only hope that on some nights when you feel self-doubt, you can remember that there are many, many people in this world who genuinely and passionately love you, and I hope that this love can bring you some support, even if it's just a little bit.

Following Shen Juan is truly a blessing, an absolute blessing! Because he considers things from his fans' perspective, knows exactly what he should do, and responds promptly to any issues without hesitation, making fans feel very secure. Liking someone who is inherently a good person is a very lucky thing.

[Such a sincere baby! I've never encountered such direct love when I was a fan before. I really regret joining the fandom so late. As a fan, I don't ask much of you. Just live a healthy and happy life, and don't put too much pressure on yourself.]

I am so lucky and honored to have met you during my darkest three years. You pulled me out of the abyss time and time again. Whenever I wanted to give up on myself, just thinking that you, on the other side of the screen, loved me made the world seem less bad. I will walk with you forever.

[He didn't cry when he was hurt, but he shed tears when he was loved. He said he wasn't a crybaby, but he shed tears for us every time. I never thought that two people who had never met would shed tears for each other through a screen. Shen Juan, please, from now on, only shed tears of happiness in your beautiful eyes!]

Then Xiaoye, Tianjie, Xiaoxiao, Wang Chuanlao, Song, and others also had tears in their eyes and shed tears because of Shen Juan's sincere acceptance speech. After this touching scene was captured by the live broadcast camera and fan-taken photos, they gained extra attention from fans and netizens, and the related discussion heated up all the way.

Overall, the Star Awards were quite respectable.

While it may not be entirely fair in some places, at least most people have received what they deserve.

but
This still couldn't quell Xiao Chun Juan's anger.

They cannot accept being ridden on by these backdoor connections and nepotism, allowing them to run rampant like this!
They find it even more unacceptable that their beloved idols, whom they cherish and protect, are being schemed against and exploited by capital platforms in this way!
Therefore, a new war began.

A new target for bullying has been found.

Someone else is about to be dragged into the toilet and humiliated by having their head stomped on.
