It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 112 Two in One
Q: Xu Lai, you can now talk about your other purposes for coming to this show, besides "letting others know your name".

"Of course, the first thing to do is to promote the new album, and then earn some advertising fees. Idols are really poor at the beginning of their debut."

Q: When I talked about Madi going on a blind date to find a girlfriend, I think you seemed to be listening very seriously. Do you have any thoughts?

"Without ideas, without ideas, idols cannot fall in love now."

Q: What if you really met someone you like?

"I like... I didn't say that I must be together if I like it. Anyway, love is temporarily isolated from me, so I can't talk about this topic." (crossed hands and marked an X)
Q: Can you talk about your early debut?What kind of experience is it to have so many black fans?
"It's a bad experience! What else can I experience? Countless people scolded you as soon as you debuted, and you don't have any experience to let anyone in, okay? In this way, I really think my current fans look pretty good, I am very grateful to everyone for being able to discover my shining points under the cover of so many black fans."

"However, when it comes to black fans, I can fully understand them blacking me out. After all, before I joined, many people's youth or memories may be those twelve people. My joining made their memories shattered, so black me scolded me. I think I understand it."

Q: So are you a tolerant black fan?

"How is it possible? Understanding is understanding. Tolerance is another matter. How can you repay kindness with virtue?"
……

Q: Christmas is coming soon, how do you plan to spend it?
"Planning to go home."

Q: Is there anything you want to say to your fans or ask them questions?

……

After a long day of recording, everyone was preparing to go back to their hotel rooms. After a long day of work, people had no energy or time to go shopping outside. When they got on the elevator, they met Zheng Jun. Zheng Jun was just for this. After he pressed the elevator button for a while, he found that the rooms they lived in were on the same floor, so Zheng Jun pressed the button for their floor directly.

"Today's song is well written and sung, it's really good." Zheng Jun brought the topic he talked with Chen Li and the others backstage to Xu Lai and said to Xu Lai, Xu Lai was a little embarrassed to hear this, The corners of the mouth turned up very honestly.

"Teacher Zheng Jun is over the top, I'm still far behind." Xu Lai said a little modestly, and then he was not stingy with compliments to Zheng Jun, "Your song today is also well written! I haven't listened to it for a long time. Been to rock and roll before."

Zheng Jun's hardcore rock is not too hardcore, but it is really well written. Xu Lai can vaguely sing the line "You portrayed me with a knife", such a song has to be said to be excellent Yes, this is why Xu said that Zheng Jun is very powerful, and his state is rising visible to the naked eye.

I heard from them that Zheng Jun prepared two songs at the very beginning, and the current few songs were written only when he came to the program group, so it’s not just Xu Lai’s amazing talent who can write good songs in a short time Come on, Zheng Jun is not bad, and because he has more experience and rich music experience, most of the songs he writes contain his own life insights, and they can often resonate with the audience.

And Xu Lai...his song "My Name" is purely for the audience to listen to. It's not certain how much resonance it will arouse. This song was originally a song he sang for himself.

"I'm old..." Zheng Jun shook his head with a smile, as if he was really old, "I didn't pay much attention to the circle before, the times and the circle are changing at an unimaginable speed, and I write songs too. I can write songs, but whether I can get the recognition of the current market is not certain.”

Then, Zheng Jun cast his eyes on Xu Lai, and looked at him carefully for a moment, "Now it's the world of your young people. Old people like us are just struggling to be eliminated by the times."

Zheng Jun also has to admit that the era when he became popular more than ten years ago is different from now. His understanding of music is still there, and he can still make good music, but times have changed, and people's aesthetics have also changed. His so-called good songs really may not stand the test of the market.

For musicians like them, it is actually quite sad that their music is not recognized by the market.

"Mr. Zheng Jun, you are too serious. I don't think you have been eliminated at all. Your music is still very good, and many people like it very much." Xu Lai said solemnly.

"Of course that's the best." Hearing what Xu Lai said, Zheng Jun couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

To be honest, Zheng Jun's comeback is actually a big challenge. After a long period of inactivity, he suddenly participated in a music variety show. The respect accumulated from the rapid retreat at the beginning may be completely destroyed because of his comeback.

Fortunately, he didn't pull the brakes, and he did fairly well. He also felt that he was still young before, and he could write and sing, even much better than some young people.

However, after he really met Xu Lai and got to know Xu Lai, he really recognized that sentence: The present era belongs to young people, our era has passed, and old guys must have the consciousness of old guys.

Sun Yizhou's refreshing music made him have this idea before, because it took him a long time to understand Sun Yizhou's musical philosophy, and Xu Lai made Zheng Jun truly see the energy of young people.

"However, I still say the same thing, Xu Lai, your talent is really high, treat your talent well, this is a gift from God." Zheng Jun thought of what Xu Lai said when the car guide and Xu Lai were chatting. Speaking of black fans, he also said a few words to him as a person who has experienced it, "Those black fans you mentioned before, look away, don't be affected by those indifferent remarks, you have to know that such rumors are Every artist goes through it."

"People are not money, and they cannot be liked on both sides. People who like you can always find the shining points in you, and people who don't like you can always find things they look down on in you, so just leave those people alone. Well, doing your music well is the most important thing you can do."

"I know Teacher Zheng Jun."

"It's good to know." Zheng Jun listened to Xu Lai's answer, and nodded in relief. He was quite worried that Xu Lai, a half-old child, would be affected by the outside world's remarks, and then the elevator rang, "Here."

The two got out of the elevator and walked down the corridor of the hotel one after the other.

"I'm here. It's been a tiring day today. Have a good rest." Zheng Jun stood in front of his room door and said goodbye to Xu Lai.

"Ok."

"Oh, and I wish I could see what rock and roll is to you."

Zheng Jun smiled calmly, then turned around and entered his room, and turned around to say a word to Xu before closing the door.

"Come on!"

……

Xu Lai lay on the bed in the hotel, thinking of Zheng Jun's inexplicable favor for him, he felt very happy in his heart.

He has said before that besides money, his motivation for making music is to hear the audience shouting his name on the stage. Every time such a big scene makes him feel goosebumps.

In other words, he wants to hear others call his name, which actually means that he wants to be recognized by others, and Zheng Jun's obvious favor for him is a manifestation of his recognition, otherwise he would not come to talk to him specifically. Talk so much, right?
In everyone's eyes, Zheng Jun can be regarded as a relatively cold person. Although he can talk a lot after getting acquainted with each other, but when they met for the first time, they really didn't have much to say. It may be that there is a generation gap between each other. , but he said quite a lot when meeting Xu Lai for the first time. Apart from what he said, he really likes Xu Lai's music, there seems to be no other explanation.

Thinking like this, Xu Lai thought of the scene of being shouted by people on the stage, just thinking about it in his mind, those cheers in his memory were only silently remembered, and he would have a sign of shock.

On the second day after the filming ended, Xu Lai embarked on a journey home.

It took eight hours to fly back to Shudu from Sujiang, and then take the high-speed train from Shudu directly to my hometown. The whole journey took about ten hours. Including the waiting time, it may take more than twelve hours. I arrived at around nine in the morning. At the airport, it was around ten o'clock in the evening when I finally got home, which was actually quite difficult.

However, he was not idle on the plane. Apart from rest, what he thought about most was the rock and roll that Zheng Jun told him before. He said he wanted to see what the rock and roll of young people was like.

Then...Xu Lai thought of the electronic music that he and Sun Yizhou had talked about before.

Nowadays, electronic music is becoming more and more popular, and its audience among young people is also growing. In addition, the nature of electronic music is actually similar to that of rock and roll. It can basically be regarded as "rock" for young people. But this may conflict with Zheng Jun's ideas, so Xu Lai really planned to see if he could write a song that was slightly novel, but also full of rock and roll flavor.

This is what he really wants to try. After writing this song, use this song to fight against Zheng Jun, which can be regarded as showing him the rock and roll of this young man.

However, the order of this song has to be placed at the very end. Xu Lai specially prepared several songs for the program "Singer and Composer", especially this second episode, although he has basically been retained in this program The group has been formed, but he wants to have a wave of ruthlessness, to increase his social status, and to increase some bargaining chips for the signing after the two recordings.

Coincidentally, Xu Lai and the others will record the sixth episode a week later, which is when their fifth episode will be aired. The audience's reaction will be one of the "chips" for Xu Lai to sign the contract next time. If the audience If their senses and reactions are good, then of course it will be more beneficial to Xu Lai. If the senses are not good, then Xu Lai may have to delay making a lot of money in his imagination.

Get off the plane and walk out of the airport, wear a mask to the subway station, take the subway to the high-speed rail station, enter the station alone, check the ticket, and wait quietly in the waiting room.

Although he was wearing a mask, his exposed eyes and demeanor still attracted the attention of many people. Anyway, the rate of turning heads was quite high along the way. Although Xu Lai didn't pay special attention to it, he was sitting in the seat I accidentally heard the "whispered" discussion on the other side, anyway, Xu Lai heard the words "mask", "good-looking eyes" and "really handsome".

Xu Lai thought that his waiting time in the waiting room would be ordinary and slow, but he was so lucky that he encountered a group of students performing impromptu.

Xu Lai was looking down at his mobile phone. The memo on the mobile phone recorded that he just came across a line of lyrics while walking on the road, and then he heard the people beside him discussing "What are they trying to do?" "Are they students?" ...

Hearing this, Xu Lai couldn't help raising his head to see what happened. After all, curiosity is hard to suppress.

Later, Xu Lai saw a group of young students who looked like students stood up from their seats and lined up neatly in the open space in front. Then he heard the leading teacher say something about the train being late, and planned to make a small Play for fun.

It started with the teacher, with a charming baritone voice. "I want you to hold me tight whenever I feel pain..."

Then, the students kept up with the rhythm of the old teacher. The female voice and the male voice are partly distinct, and the high pitch and low pitch are mixed together to have a different taste. The students' immature voices spread in the waiting room. Soon, a large group of people stopped and listened to their singing silently.

Xu Lai didn't expect that he would encounter such an interesting thing on this ordinary way home, so he immediately took out his mobile phone and prepared to record it, but in the end he just took a photo, and then thought of the agent asking him to He manages his own Weibo a lot, so he posted this photo on Weibo with a paragraph.

"I met a beautiful voice on the ordinary way home."

The photo shows the students singing in a chorus under the command of the teacher.

Regardless of the answer on Weibo, he sent this photo to Lin Yun'er, and said similar things to her by the way, sharing this matter with her.

He only read it for a minute after sending it, but he didn't get a reply. He guessed that Lin Yoona was busy, so he didn't think about it anymore.

However, when he put down his phone, he found that there was a little sister in front of him who kept looking at him secretly, and then smiled at him boldly, and even broke free to walk towards Xu Lai's mother who apologized for the smile, and looked at her seriously. Mom said: "Mom, this brother looks so good-looking!"

Children's words are not taboo, but this child speaks very well.

Thinking of this, Xu Lai turned on his phone again and added a paragraph to Lin Yuner.

"When I was waiting for the bus just now, a five or six-year-old girl kept looking at me, and then praised me for being good-looking."

"Are all children today so interesting?"

……

After a long time, Xu Lai looked at the receding scenery outside the car window, when the phone suddenly rang, and Lin Yuner replied to his message.

"Is this singing? It looks like a good scene."

"I don't know if children are interesting, but I think this little girl is quite pitiful. She has lost her aesthetics at a young age. What can I do in the future?"

　Wearing a suit for the first time today... a strange feeling.

　　Today is a day of two in one, yesterday's one can be made up tomorrow.

　　Sorry everyone.
