It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 157 The Slightly Open Door

"Xiao Lai, our group's regular album is already collecting songs. Are you busy over there and will you miss the group's comeback?"

He pressed his finger on the send button for a long time and he didn't click it. When he clicked "piu", a message was sent, but in an instant he wanted to withdraw it. Just when he clicked the message to withdraw it, he stopped again.

Because Xu Lai has already replied.

"I don't know yet, I have to ask Brother Xuan Jun first."

"Then there shouldn't be too much conflict on your side, right? Aren't you very busy recently? Can you come back with us?"

"Brother Chanyeol, what you said doesn't seem to want me to go back..."

"No, I really want to share the stage with you."

"understood."

"Then you must let me know when you can come back, okay?"

"Go, go, go!"

"Why do you feel so impatient?"

"Because...brother, I have been busy for a long time today, so I can take a rest just now. I am very tired and want to sleep."

"Then you rest, have a good rest, and work hard."

"I know."

"Good night then."

"Okay, good night."

……

Park Chanyeol looked at Xu Lai's answer, and guessed that Xu Lai would come back and return together, and he had a slight smile on his face.

It's just that he calmed down and thought about it carefully, was he delaying Xu Lai's own future?It is obvious that he is developing very well by himself now, and he has been brought back to work with the team...

It seems...he just wanted to prove to the other members that Xu Lai was not someone who used tea eggs as pedals in their eyes, but he ignored Xu Lai's real appeal.

"Xiao Lai, what is your dream?"

"I started my career to earn money to buy a house for my family."

"It's a very simple wish, but it's not a dream. What I'm asking is what you really want to do in life, your future direction."

"Maybe now is to be a good singer? Write songs well, sing well, and make money."

……

Park Chanyeol still remembers that this was what he and Xu Lai talked about before going to bed. The two of them lay on their respective beds and talked about their dreams. Xu Lai's very simple wish seemed to be his truest appeal.

"I don't look like a big brother here..."

Park Chanyeol suddenly blamed himself.

But the words have already been spoken, Xu Lai has already agreed, and there is nothing more to say.

In fact, what he cares more about is Xu Lai's heart, right?He also wanted to see if Xu Lai would be like Lu Han. After all, the scars Lu Han left on them were quite deep. The sudden departure of such a close person was not to say betrayal, but at least abandonment, and there was no contact after that... …

……

Sujiang, in the hotel room, Xu Lai closed the dialog box with Park Chanyeol, and called Lin Xuanjun. They had just contacted for a few hours, and felt that he should still be there. It was connected in a while.

Speaking of Lin Xuanjun was originally the general manager of Chadan, but now because of Xu Lai, he is more in charge of Xu Lai's affairs. The announcements of other members of Chadan are handled by other managers, and he is only in charge of a small part. up.

"Hey, what's the matter with you, Xiao Lai?" Lin Xuanjun has been in charge of Xu Lai for more than a month, and the relationship with Xu Lai has become a lot closer, and the titles have become more intimate.

"Brother Hyun Kyun, what I want to ask is the return of the group, there should be no time conflict with my work, right?"

"Emmmm... Actually, this company has already made arrangements. You must participate in the production of XO's album, and also participate in MV shooting and so on. It's just that you don't have to participate if you play songs. The company has other things for you. arrange."

"Any other arrangements?"

"Yes, there is a brokerage company that is very interested in you, and there is a high probability that you will complete a contract."

"what?"

"It's an American brokerage company. We're still negotiating with the company. You'll know later. It won't do you any harm."

"Oh……"

The news that Xu Lai got from Lin Xuanjun was really exciting. He didn't expect that a company would actually come to him. It seemed interesting to see the company's reaction.

"I seem to be going in the right direction."

Xu Lai, who has always been quite confused about his career as an artist, suddenly had this idea, as long as he gets better and better, it probably means he is on the right path, right?

……

It is midnight in Jiangsu, but it is daytime in the United States across the Pacific Ocean. The new issue of "Rolling Stone" is released, and many Americans are paying attention at the same time, especially those who are concerned about music. Stone" is still recognized, although it has been more and more biased towards the rap and pop market of black culture in the past two years, but the reputation it has accumulated for a long time makes everyone still recognize it.

To the surprise of Americans and people from all walks of life, a newcomer with yellow skin suddenly appeared on "Rolling Stone", which undoubtedly dropped a grenade in the excessive freedom in the United States.

You must know that the last yellow-skinned person to be interviewed was PSY. The horse-riding dance in "Gangnam Style" has become popular all over the world. It is understandable that he is on the cover of this magazine, but who is this newcomer named Xu Lai?Although it's not on the cover, it's quite surprising.

A free America is not free, nor does it truly mean that there is no distinction between skin color when claiming racial equality and rejecting racial discrimination.

The current black buddies have become Black Lives Matter because of certain sports, but the yellow race is still the same, they are not popular in competitive sports, and it is still the same in music culture.

Although Asia is not a musical desert, it is understandable that one or two flowers bloom in such an environment.

And what multiculturalism has been declaring recently, maybe "Rolling Stone" has his own considerations?

With such thoughts in mind, in fact, many people subconsciously looked down at Xu Lai. After all, this person's name is not familiar at all. Who knows where they saw it?

But if you take a closer look at Xu Lai's interview content, it's actually more about Xu Lai's masterpieces.

""Galway Girl"? Seems familiar."

""Viva La Vida"...seems like where have you seen it?"

"Huh? Seven and one number No. 40 on the B list?"

"A new Asian guy who just debuted five months ago?"

Combined with the music critics' evaluation of Xu Lai's first album "Light", it seems that this is not the kind of singer they imagined, but a truly talented player.

Just like what a music critic in Rolling Stone magazine said about him.

"The name of this album is "Light". Perhaps Xu Lai himself wanted it to shine, and I think he did it."

Afterwards, many people went to listen to Xu Lai's album. Except for three or four songs that were a little bit worse because they didn't understand the language and grammar, the other songs were surprisingly good!
In addition to the two title songs, there are still many songs on the album that can catch the ears of the audience.

This album... seems to be so fierce!
This is the thought of many people who have listened to Xu Lai's songs, and his gradually rising public opinion and the rising ranking of album songs on the B chart also indicate this.

The door to the European and American markets seems to be opened to Xu Lai.
