It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 18

Practicing with the members is such a big event, Xu Lai let it pass without any risk, but he didn't give up his contact, and he still didn't force himself to let himself relax.

After all, if you don’t practice today, there will always be someone who will practice. If you are willing to put it off until tomorrow, there will always be someone who will work hard to finish it today. So sorry, the opportunity you want will be taken by others, and the life you want will also be taken away. Just let others pass.

Besides, you can't just watch your debut and start to relax, and comfort yourself after doing nothing, right?
His current future is actually still in jeopardy. He himself also knows what he will face, but he is more optimistic by nature and does not use the unknown that has not yet arrived to scare himself. In short, he is moving forward in an orderly manner. It won't hurt.

He has now completed his debut stage repertoire, and his relationship with the other members is pretty good, and the results of the joint training are not bad. Now that everything is ready, he is waiting for his debut stage on August [-]th, so that everyone can really get to know each other. he.

However, maybe there is no need for his debut stage. In fact, many people already know him.

Fans of the SM family collected all the news related to Xu Lai's debut and made predictions. There were various speculations about his future arrangements, and they also revealed his self-composed songs before he joined the company. It won the favor of some fans, but whether these fans will turn their backs after learning the truth about Xu Lai's debut is another matter.

In other words, how much the current tea egg fans have a favorable impression of Xu Lai, after learning that Xu Lai is replacing Sir Wu, they may turn their favorable impression into disgust.

Thinking of Henry Liu Xianhua, Xu Lai could only sigh.

Doing good deeds without asking for reward.

……

As a preparatory artist who is about to debut, Xu Lai was specially arranged to go to a small classroom, saying that he wanted to conduct debut training with Xu Lai, such as politeness to seniors, expression management, etc. Xu Lai didn't care too much. Just treat it as a course, and this course takes a month to study.

Every debuting artist will have such training, but it’s just a matter of time. I guess it was Xu Lai who stayed with Kenzie all day long to work, so the course was delayed until Xu Lai and the members of Chadan practiced together. Asking him to come to class quickly gave Xu Lai a strange feeling. Training with the members of Chadan wouldn't be a test, right?
Such thoughts appeared in his mind for a short while and then he threw them away because he saw four other people in the classroom - Red Velvet (RV) who debuted fifteen days before him, sitting next to each other. There was a space left for him next to him. Directly in front of him was a man in his 30s who looked quite handsome, but Xu Lai didn't recognize him, so he guessed he was their teacher.

As soon as Xu Lai entered the room, the four RV people stood up. Pei Zhuxuan counted one, two, three, and then bowed to Xu Lai in unison, "Hello Xu Lai, xi, we are - Red Velvet."

"I'm Irene."

"I'm Shiki."

"I'm Wendy."

"I'm Joy."

"Uh... hello, seniors..." Xu Lai was taken aback by the four people in RV. He was about to greet them, but the four people in RV greeted him first, and he was suddenly at a loss. Both girls are very good-looking, so Xu Lai, the solo mother, was a little flustered for a while, and quickly bowed to say hello.

Then Xu Lai bowed to the teacher standing in front of the podium and said hello, and then sat in the empty seat beside him.

This class seemed to be for their five pre-debut artists. There were only six seats, one teacher, and the five of them sat in a row. Everyone sat upright, just like elementary school students meeting their class teacher.

In fact, Xu Lai sat quite casually, but the four girls beside him were very ladylike and dignified. He looked a little foolish by himself, which made him feel a little out of place, so he followed them. Correct posture.

Unlike Xu Lai's eyes who have been paying attention to the teacher, the four people in RV are very curious about Xu Lai, especially their eldest sister Pei Zhuxuan. The embarrassing scene inside is still vivid, she is ready to pretend that she doesn't know anything, and won't have any communication with Xu Lai.

But what I didn't expect was that she was the one being ignored... Maybe it can't be called ignoring, it just means that Xu Lai didn't pay attention to her. Except for the panic when he first greeted them, the rest It seemed that they were listening carefully all the time, and didn't pay too much attention to them.

This made Pei Zhuxuan very curious. She felt that Xu Lai didn't recognize her, or...the eye contact she thought that day was actually her own unilateral thought. He might not have seen her face, so in today's Only then do you act shy and natural.

Yes, it's natural, at least that's what Bae Zhuhyun thinks.

Then, for some reason, Pei Zhuxuan lowered her head slightly and glanced at Xu Lai's lower body. Her eyes focused on Xu Lai's feet. She looked at them carefully for a moment and said to herself: "It looks like it should be 260mm."

As if to confirm her guess, she somehow remembered this detail.

Perhaps it was because he had attended such courses so many times that he was distracted by looking at Xu Lai during class. Otherwise, it would be the first time for Xu Lai to receive such serious training, and he would be fully engrossed.

As the teacher said, expression management is very difficult for him.

Even if you are unhappy, you must appear happy on stage, and your fake smile must be sunny and cute; except for special circumstances, you cannot cry no matter how uncomfortable you are, you have to laugh.

The idol's performance stage is not a stage play. Except for certain scenes, no one will pay to see an idol on the stage with a sad face and tears in his eyes. Everyone comes to watch with a smile and does not want to be affected.

Everyone is under so much pressure now, so don't add unnecessary burdens to others.

Some teachers also said that as an idol, you should always pay attention to your own image, because you never know where a camera will be pointed at you, or what kind of article these photos will be placed on...

Xu Lai listened very carefully to the class, but the more he listened, the more he realized why many people said that idols are just a job.

Indeed, being an idol is just a job. For Xu Lai, although it is not just a job, it is also an identity that shows his value and changes his life. However, he still feels that being an idol may be harder than most 996 , most of the time it is 007's arrangement, as long as the company summons you, you will get a seat, and you are still rushing to the scene in the middle of the night, and you can only sleep in the nanny car for two or three hours...

Sure enough, no money is easy to earn.
