It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 152 "Sunset Boulevard"

Send out your own light safely, and don't turn off other people's lights.

This is what Xu Lai's teacher said when he was in junior high school, and Xu Lai still remembers it to this day.

The popularity in Chadan has undergone subversive changes after Lu Han’s departure and Xu Lai’s sudden popularity. Xu Lai surpassed the members and became the most successful idol of Chadan in everyone’s eyes. Look at him as an idol, but as a pure singer.

Huang Zitao and Park Chanyeol, who were close friends with Xu Lai, were also exposed because of their interactions with Xu Lai before he became famous. The two of them also attracted a wave of traffic due to Xu Lai's popularity, which surprised the other members.

Because they are in the same group as Xu Lai, other members will occasionally be asked about Xu Lai when they are being interviewed. Most of the time they will praise Xu Lai and then laugh it off, basically not taking it seriously. I answered the question about Xu Lai, not because there is any conflict between them, but...they are really unfamiliar.

Especially after the singing of "Sing For You" and the team announcement, Xu Lai basically carried out activities alone, and occasionally went back to the dormitory to have something to say with Park Chanyeol, and meeting other members in the dormitory. They just said hello and went back to their respective rooms. They didn't have much to talk about, after all, Xu Lai had known them for too short a time.

The personalities don't know each other very well, and they don't have any common memories, so what is there to talk about?

In South Korea, Xu Lai was on the hot search again because "Viva La Vida" landed on the B list, and the remake "Galway Girl" also followed the former on the B list, but the ranking is still not very high. It's around eighty on the list, and it can't go up or down, but in the eyes of South Korean netizens, this is already something that can be boasted about.

In K-pop, except for PSY's horse riding song, which was ranked second on the B chart, the rest are not high enough. The most important thing is that Xu Lai also entered the B chart with the two title songs of the same album. This is K. -He has created a precedent for something that has never appeared in the history of pop.

Xu Lai, who was preparing for the filming of the show in Jiangsu, China, also noticed that his song was on the B list, but the ranking was not very high, but Xu Lai was quite satisfied, at least it was on the list.

This joy has been brought to his work. When recording "Singer-Composer", he walked into the studio with a smile on his face. Everyone noticed his emotions. He just thought that he was in a good mood when something good happened today. I didn't ask any more questions, and the topic of chat was gradually led to today's new singer-songwriter.

"Everyone knows today's singer-songwriter, right?" Hu Yanbin asked with a smile when he sat down.

"Everyone should know, right? Do you want us to pretend not to know?" Sun Yizhou also laughed.

"Is it okay to give the audience a little suspense?" Chen Li said. "Hey, do you know who the new singer-songwriter is today?" Hu Yanbin immediately changed his tone when he heard the words, and became curious. The change of tone was only a momentary thing.

"I don't know! Does anyone know? They don't seem to know?" Sun Yizhou also sang the oboe with Hu Yanbin at this time.

"Hello!"

While Hu Yanbin and Sun Yizhou were joking and playing tricks, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a low but clear male voice came. Everyone looked at the door. Liang Bo, dressed in black, waved to everyone, pursed his lips but still couldn't smile. come out.

"welcome!"

"Hello, Teacher Liang Bo!"

The first sentence was said by Zheng Jun and his seniors, and the latter sentence was said by Xu Lai and Sun Yizhou. Here, Xu Lai and Sun Yizhou are singer-songwriters of the new generation. They are young and have a short debut time.

And for Xu Lai, it is not an exaggeration to call him Teacher Liang Bo. Who would have thought that more than two years ago, he was sitting in front of the TV watching Liang Bo's "The Voice" final stage, and now Xu Lai, more than two years later Lai and Liang Bo were sitting in the same room and were about to compete on the same stage.

Just like seeing Wang Sulong, Xu Lai felt a burst of emotion when he saw Liang Bo.

"Little Xu, why do you sigh when you see Liang Bo?" Zheng Jun observed Xu Lai's small movements, and brought it up with a smile. Misleading, of course he believed that Xu Lai was not disappointed or unhappy with Liang Bo.

"emmm... Seeing Mr. Liang Bo feels like seeing Brother Long. More than two years ago, I was sitting in front of the TV watching Mr. Liang Bo's Good Voice finals. Now, more than two years later, Mr. Liang Bo is sitting in front of me. It's a little dreamy." Xu Lai explained with a smile, turned his head and nodded to Liang Bo, and Liang Bo also smiled a little more when he saw Xu Lai explaining this way.

"Liang Bo and I are about the same age...what about me?" Huo Zun said after hearing what Xu Lai said.

"Because "Good Song" is not as popular as "The Voice" hahaha~" Chen Li, who had a little "little feud" with Huo Zun, said with a smile.

"Isn't it too hurtful to say that?" Huo Zun laughed when he heard the words, and he didn't look like he was hurt at all.

Producer C: "All the singer-songwriters have arrived, and now we are starting the demo listening session. Please choose the first singer-songwriter."

"Who's coming?"

"Then I'll come first!"

While everyone was still watching, Liang Bo stood up, smiled shyly at everyone, turned around and walked to the recording studio next door, standing in front of the microphone and putting on the earphones.

After nodding towards everyone, Liang Bo indicated that he could start playing the accompaniment. A light drum beat appeared, and the sound of the piano was also melodious.

"Always dreaming of flying above the meridian above the clouds

Can't tell if it's night or day
Came here in a hurry with unbearable expectations

i think again

......"

Liang Bo finished half of his singing, and then he returned to the studio. When he came back, everyone applauded him.

"What's the name of this song?" Xu Lai was particularly interested in Liang Bo's new song.

"Sunset Boulevard."

"It fits the occasion, it's really well written!" Xu Lai gave Liang Bo a thumbs up, praising Liang Bo's new single.

Liang Bo's "Sunset Boulevard" has a nice melody and a special arrangement. The drum beats are obvious and have a stronger sense of presence than the piano sound, but the overall style is light. There is no problem with the singing skills of the contestants.

Although he only sang halfway, the keynote of the whole song has come out, not only Xu Lai praised, but also other people, Liang Bo felt like giving everyone a big blow, so that the singers and composers had some pressure.

"I'll come next!"

Xu Lai stood up with a smile, walked to the recording studio amidst everyone's cheers, and stood in front of the microphone with headphones on.

"It's been a long time since I wrote this piece of music, and the words were only recently filled in, and then I told a sad story about clouds and lakes."

"The idea that came up one day before, I will sing it to everyone today. This song is called "Lake"."

　Today's recommended song "Lake" - Li Bangbang Muti
