It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 174 New arrival

Xu Lai and his little assistant had a rest in the hotel for one night, and then went to Universal Music headquarters the next day, and Universal Music thoughtfully sent a vehicle over before Xu Lai and the others went out, and attached Xu Lai's this time The receptionist and the broker in charge of Xu Lai's work.

"Hi Xu Lai, I'm Hill. If there are no accidents, we will work together for a long time." The white man named Hill smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Xu Lai's hand. The self-introduction is still in Chinese. Although it is awkward, it seems to be full of sincerity.

Xu Lai let out an "oh", and immediately understood that this person might be his person in charge of work in the United States, that is, his agent.

"Hi Hill, I'm Xu Lai. Your Chinese is great."

"Thank you for the compliment, Xu, your English is not as fluent as a mainlander, and you don't need to introduce yourself, I have already read your information several times, and your face is firmly in my mind Yes." Hill laughed.

"I always feel a little weird."

"First of all, I like girls."

"Hahaha~~"

"Then get in the car first! We'll talk the rest in the car."

"it is good."

Xu Lai nodded in response, then glanced at the logo of the car in front of him that he didn't know what it was, and got into the car following Hill's instructions, while Xu Lai's assistant got into another car, looking It seemed that Hill had something to discuss with Xu Lai.

"Hey Xu, do you like cars?" Hill didn't talk to Xu Lai immediately about work, but watched Xu Lai look around the interior of the car, wanting to talk to him about other things first, so as to enhance their relationship.

"For example, this car." Hill touched the back seat of the car.

"I have no idea about cars." Xu Lai shook his head lightly, but then asked with great interest, "What's the name of this car? It feels very comfortable to sit on."

"It's a Bentley Mulsanne, and you're right, it's a car built for luxury."

Xu Lai nodded slightly, but he was thinking in his heart: So this is the Bentley Mulsanne?
He had known about the Bentley Mulsanne before, but this was the first time he had known this car and the first time he had sat in it.

"This is my first time riding in such a luxury car."

"This is not a luxury car for you, Xu. With your ability, this car is no problem for you." Hill praised Xu Lai with a smile.

"I don't know much about cars as a means of transportation, so let's talk about something else?" Xu Lai smiled at Hill.

"Xu, I like your directness, so let's talk about your recent arrangements?" Hill nodded when Xu Lai said this, and changed the subject.

"Your new album has sold more than 50 copies in the last month, and the ranking of "Galway Girl" on the B chart has also risen to eleventh, and because of your identity as a songwriter and producer, there is no doubt that You are now a supernova in the music industry, a popular fried chicken. Based on everyone’s recognition of your creative ability, many singers have sent you invitations to collaborate. Of course, those who fish in troubled waters are excluded. In fact, there are only two or three famous singers Combined with your own preferences, I think you can think about Coldplay's invitation."

"I heard that they sent us a cooperation invitation after listening to your other songs "Shots" and "Viva La Vida". Maybe they think your music style might fit well."

"Is it really Coldplay?"

"Yes."

"I feel a little unreal... I've always loved their songs."

"Don't feel untrue, this is the truth, do you need me to forward you a copy of the invitation email?" Hill raised his eyebrows.

"It's not necessary, I'm just a little too surprised."

"If possible, I actually want to suggest that you think about it more. Although Coldplay is still a big name, there are many American audiences who don't feel good about them, so..."

"I'll think about it."

"OK, then let's talk about other things. Xu, I read the songs you wrote when you filmed the show in mainland China. It's really great. If possible, can you put those suitable songs Re-production? Like "Cold" and "Shots", do you still sing English songs in the later shows?"

"Yes." Xu Lai nodded.

He has a very good sense of Hill now, and he can casually recite the songs he performed in "Singer-Composer", which shows that what he said before was not a polite remark, and it can be seen that he is very competent.

"These songs can be re-made after the show. But you know, because of the contract with there, it can't be done now."

"As long as it can be remade it will be fine, it's just a matter of time."

"In the next time, Xu, you will participate in two or three reality shows or talk shows to increase your exposure. You must know that although your songs are very popular, the vast majority of listeners don't like you. I understand too well, you need to appear in front of the public frequently during this time, is this okay?" Hill explained to Xu Lai.

"That's fine."

"Then this is perfect. Another very important thing is that Xu, your current songs are actually very popular. While increasing your personal exposure, we also hope that you can have some new single plans. The best I believe this will not be a problem for you while your enthusiasm is still there." Hill smiled at Xu Lai, "Of course, if you have a single plan, you can tell me if you have any needs, such as Contact your favorite singer for a collaboration or something."

"I can even help you arrange some of your needs in life. If you have any needs, you can tell me, and I will do my best to meet you."

Hill spoke very sincerely, probably because of Franklin's charm. At this time, he was very concerned about Xu Lai, the newly popular fried chicken, and wanted to try his best to satisfy him no matter in work or life.

Of course, Hill didn't ask some questions. After all, he knew that Xu Lai was from mainland China, and the conservativeness of mainlanders in some aspects made him not particularly open, so he didn't take the liberty to ask.

Of course, if Xu Lai has needs, he will do his best to meet him.

Among other things, there are a lot of women who want to exchange their bodies for money or topics. Hill has been around for so long, and this demand can still meet Xu Lai, provided that Xu Lai needs it.

"Hill, can you find me a place to live first? I may stay here for a long time."

"This has been arranged for you a long time ago. I will take you there after our journey is over today, don't worry."
