It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 14 A More Reliable Statement
Park Chanyeol was enjoying Xu Lai's performance of "Landing Guy" by himself, and he nodded slightly following the rhythm.

Good to hear.

This is Park Chanyeol's first sense, and Park Chanyeol, who has some knowledge about the guitar, also noticed Xu Lai's technique, which is much better than him.

And... he is also a very nice person. Whenever the picture and sound quality were mentioned, he would take the initiative to play and sing for him live, and he couldn't help but get closer to Xu Lai.

"It sounds really good. Xu Lai, you are so awesome!" Park Chanyeol was a good audience member. He did not hesitate to applaud Xu Lai when he finished his performance and praised him greatly.

It seems that it is not a bad thing for the Chadan team to join such a talented fresh blood. Maybe it can bring a different vitality to Chadan, such as creating songs together to give back to fans. Xu Lai is not an authentic idol. It seems that they know a lot about music. It is said that Director Kenzie admires Xu Lai very much...

Park Chanyeol thought of this in his heart, while praising Xu Lai.

If the person in front of Xu Lai was Huang Zitao or Jiang Zaihe, Xu Lai would definitely float up and start blowing. But now in front of him was Park Chanyeol, who he was not very familiar with. He smiled a little shyly and said to Park Chanyeol said "Thank you for the compliment".

It is very unlike Xu Lai's character, and it is indeed reasonable, people's warning lines are slowly worn away.

"Did you consider recording the sound source of this song? I think this song is pretty good, why didn't you record it seriously?" Park Chanyeol looked at Xu Lai who was smiling although he was shy, and asked his own question.

"Recording the sound source must have been thought about, but at the beginning... I had no money to record, I was not familiar with the recording industry, and I didn't know much about the recording staff. At that time, I inquired that recording a song cost several thousand yuan, that is, It looks like more than 100 million won, it's too expensive..." Xu Lai pursed his lips, thinking of his miserable experience at the beginning, and sighed a little.

In the novel, when the protagonist meets a sound engineer who loves music, Jian Lie Xinxi’s routine of free recording is not easy for him. It’s not that he hasn’t met a sound engineer who loves music, but compared to music, the money seems to be more affordable.

Of course, it may also be that Xu Lai's work is not good enough to touch the heart of the sound engineer, so that's why he refuses to give him free work, right?Not even a discount.

Thinking of this, Xu Lai felt a little sad. If he had money to record at that time, if he became popular, he wouldn't have to come to South Korea to suffer.

It's a pity.

"Later, I came here as a trainee, and I didn't have the time or money to record the sound source. Mr. Kenzie asked me to record this song before my debut, but there is no specific arrangement yet. But there are only two Monthly thing, after a while there will be a sound source.”

Xu Lai continued to talk to Park Chanyeol about his arrangements and the reasons for not recording before, and mentioned his debut in two months.

"Will this song be performed on your debut stage? I remember you had a solo stage after our group performance, right?" Park Chanyeol heard about Xu Lai's debut, and thought of Xu Lai's solo stage on the day of his debut , asked him about the details of the stage.

"No." Xu Lai shook his head lightly.

"Ah?" Park Chanyeol was stunned for a moment, how nice this song is...

Immediately he came to his senses, looking at Xu Lai's relaxed face, it was obvious that there were other better works, otherwise performing his own composition on the debut stage would have a much better effect than performing other works.

"Are there any new works?" Park Chanyeol was a little suspicious, a little surprised, but more curious.

"I'm working with Mr. Kenzie. It may take a few days to complete the production, but I just recorded the demo." Xu Lai replied honestly.

"Uh..." Park Chanyeol originally wanted to ask Xu Lai if he could listen to it, but he thought that the two of them were not familiar with each other, and this was his debut stage repertoire, so he gave up the plan to ask. After a pause, he reluctantly encouraged him to transition over.

"Then you and Mr. Kenzie will work hard, I look forward to the first stage of your new song."

Park Chanyeol said so.

Afterwards, he looked at Xu Lai's electronic organ and guitar, then looked back at his empty seat, and raised his chin towards the window, "Xu Lai, I think it's a bit crowded with so many things on your side. You can’t even put the piano down, why don’t you move the piano to the window? There is still light during the day, and the environment is better, which is helpful for music creation.”

Park Chanyeol paused for a moment, then continued, "I heard that I might have more inspiration when I'm in the window."

"Is that so?" Xu Lai smiled when he heard Park Chanyeol's incongruous inspiration theory and felt Park Chanyeol's kindness.

"Anyway, I just put some luggage over there before, but now the luggage is over there for the program group, and it's still empty if it's empty, so you can put the piano over there! Otherwise, your side is so small, and people say that everything needs to be organized Bigger, music is no exception, right?" Park Chanyeol said with a smile, "If I bring the luggage back, I can leave it with you, right? This arrangement seems more reasonable, after all, it doesn't matter whether the luggage is in the sun or not."

"Thank you Brother Chanlie." Xu Lai called "Brother Chanlie" much more lightly, and the two of them got to know each other better unconsciously.

"Why don't you move now? It's easier to move two people." Park Chanyeol suggested.

"That's pretty good." Xu Lai nodded and agreed.

The two big boys reached a consensus in this way, stood up and moved the electronic piano to the other side by the window, and then took the two guitars and put them against the wall, but unfortunately they could not be hung on the wall.

After finishing the work, Xu Lai adjusted the electronic piano, and Park Chanyeol stood beside him to watch him adjust.

Xu Lai's debugging was debugging. After finding out that there was no problem, his fingers changed a rhythm, and another completely different melody jumped out from the piano. Xu Lai even hummed a few times along with it.

"No problem, OK!" Xu Lai put down his hand and nodded towards Park Chanyeol who was behind him.

"Which one was played just now?" Park Chanyeol said that he didn't seem to have heard that piece of melody.

"My new work." Xu Lai was quite proud.

"Wow~~"

Park Chanyeol shook his head slightly and sighed in admiration, and then the two chatted a few more words about the new song, but both of them were very measured and knew to keep the mystery of the new work, so they didn't say much.

Chatting and chatting, the two sat on the same bed and discussed the dormitory together.

"Actually, I think the room for the two of us is a little bit small. There are pianos, luggage, and other miscellaneous things. It seems a bit crowded and messy. I don't know when we will be able to move into the new dormitory. "Park Chanyeol seemed a little dissatisfied with the small room.

Tea eggs are now popular, and they have created a lot of income for SM, and they have also created team income for themselves. Unfortunately, most of this income has been reimbursed to the company for their previous debut practice fees, and finally went to them. , there is basically nothing left.

But in the end, the company treated them well, at least they didn’t say that several of them should live in one room, but now the room is indeed a little smaller for two people, and it was mentioned before that they want to change the dormitory, but what is it? Time will change, there is no definite date yet.

"The seniors of Girls' Generation only moved into the new dormitory two years after their debut. From your point of view, it should be about the same." Xu Lai thought for a moment, and replied to Park Chanyeol.

"You're wrong, it's not you, it's us, you're all living in now."

"Haven't I made my debut yet?" Xu Lai was a little moved by Park Chanyeol's words, but he joked quietly.

"Sooner or later, and... Maybe you will make us change dormitories sooner after you debut." Park Chanyeol said jokingly.

He meant that Xu Lai might be able to make tea eggs more possible, create more value, and make their lives better, but Xu Lai didn't think it was that good.

For him, I feel that the quicker change of dormitory that Park Chanyeol said may mean that he was raped by black fans, exposed his residence, was sent to death by rats or other strange things, or was squatted by black fans at the door. , so that SM company had to change the dormitory in order to ensure the personal safety of the tea egg members.

Ah... It seems that Xu Lai's statement is more reliable than what Park Chanyeol thought.

Regarding this, Xu Lai did not express what was in his heart, but just smiled at Park Chanyeol, as if agreeing with him.

"Are you familiar with dancing? We should have a joint practice soon, so don't make too many mistakes..." Park Chanyeol's thoughts suddenly jumped to the tea egg joint practice stage, and he looked at it seriously Xu Lai said.

"It's almost done..." Xu Lai added "it should be like this" in his heart. Since he joined the company, he has always regarded the tea egg dance music as an etude. It should be said that all the male trainees are Like this, tea eggs are very popular after all, and everyone wants to be like them.

To be a trainee is to become a debut artist, and then gain popularity and become popular.

"It's almost impossible. Everyone is here to practice with you on the stage. You have to be more proficient. If you make a mistake, you may be scolded." Park Chanyeol kindly reminded Xu Lai.

"I see." Xu Lai was silent for a while. From this sentence, he seemed to understand that not all the remaining members of Chadan were as friendly to him as Park Chanyeol, and there were still some people who didn't like him very much.

But this is quite normal. From their perspective, Xu Lai would also feel uncomfortable, and he could understand it.

"Also, the captain is very strict, you have to work hard."

"Thank you."

　Today, sorry for the delay in returning to the dormitory, I only wrote 2600 words before the power was cut off. I used a desktop, and I barely finished writing [-] words with my mobile phone, and continued the daily update of [-] words.

　　That's all for today, right? Everybody...
