It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 188

In Hengdian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, "War God Zhao Zilong" is about to finish. Lin Yuner and many staff members stood next to the director, watching Lin Gengxin in the monitor performing the last scene. Her personal role has already been finished, and now she is waiting for Lin Gengxin's performance to end. The whole show is officially announced.

Lin Gengxin performed very smoothly in the last part, and the director did not ask too much. After a "Cut", the director announced that it was officially finished. The actors and staff cheered together. After the cheers, it was time to pack up props and luggage. Holding a big loudspeaker there, talking about matters related to the finale banquet, reminding everyone not to miss the time.

In fact, it was not long before dinner time. After everyone went back and tidied up, they went straight to the hotel reserved by the crew. They formed groups and sat together. The atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

Lin Yoona worked with the creative team. Basically, the director, screenwriter, and starring actors sat at the same table. She sat next to Sun Xiaoxiao, and next to her was Lin Gengxin.

"Yoon'er, do you want to do some other activities after this is over?" Sun Xiaoxiao smiled and said to Lin Yuner's ear.

"I won't go this time. If you want to go, have fun. I've already booked a ticket for tomorrow." Lin Yuner shook her head lightly, and rejected Sun Xiaoxiao's proposal with a smile.

The other activities Sun Xiaoxiao mentioned were probably singing some children's songs together, visiting the night market, or having a midnight snack. No matter how much time she saved, she would go there early in the morning. She had a flight the next day, so if she couldn't get up in the morning Come and it will be gone.

"Booked a plane ticket? Is there something else? Going back to Seoul?" Sun Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

"Hey...it's a little personal matter, Sister Xiaoxiao, you better not ask, because I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing." Lin Yuner sighed softly towards Sun Xiaoxiao.

"Well...if you have something to do tomorrow, then have a good rest tonight." Sun Xiaoxiao didn't ask any more questions after hearing Lin Yuner's words. She let her go so far, and originally planned to have a few more drinks with her. "No wonder you hesitated to go to Hainan when I told you a few days ago..."

"I just decided to go." Lin Yuner explained.

"I don't mean anything else, anyway... I hope it will be a good thing for you to go this time." Since Lin Yuner said it was a private matter, Sun Xiaoxiao didn't ask any more questions. After all, everyone has a little secret, even though she had so many secrets in her heart. She had a little strange idea, but she didn't say anything, and she didn't want to verify anything.

"I hope it's a good thing, too."

Lin Yuner smiled.

……

Both Xu Lai's electronic music festival stage and reality show have been recorded, and what should be broadcast has also been broadcasted. For Xu Lai, this is of great help in promoting his popularity.

The current Xu Lai can truly be regarded as a popular fried chicken in the North American music industry. At this time, he is not only popular for his songs, but his recognition has also increased a lot.

At least in the area of ​​Los Angeles, most people know his name and can recognize him, otherwise his exposure during this time would have been in vain.

After "Are You With Me" won the top spot on the B chart for two weeks, its ranking has also slowly declined. Other singers are not vegetarians, and there are still many excellent songs coming out. Xu Lai's single is also not called It is so enduring. It is normal for the ranking to decline slowly as time goes by. No one will underestimate Xu Lai because of this. He has now proved his worth.

However, the ranking and popularity of his single began to slowly decline, but "Something Just Like This", which he collaborated with Coldplay, began a new round of promotion, especially when everyone saw the main creator in the promotional introduction Xu Lai's name among the staff was discussed again.

Are you really a model worker?
He has only been in the United States for a month, and he has already produced two singles, and he has also appeared on four electronic music festival stages, several reality shows, and accepted a lot of interviews. He is really different from the well-known singers. No one would be willing to run an announcement like Xu Lai to expose himself, especially an original musician like Xu Lai. Everyone thinks that music is more important, and they don't want to show their faces too much, which is out of character.

But Xu Lai also said that he is just an ordinary singer and entertainer, it doesn't matter if he is not too strict, as long as the money is in place, it will be over. He is just a vulgar musician.

However, no matter how "model worker" he is, Universal Company still gave Xu Lai time to rest. At least after Xu Lai's series of announcements ended, he ushered in his half-work and half-rest time.

In fact, the rest is secondary, the main purpose of Universal Company is to give Xu Lai an environment so that he can produce the film and television singles that have been agreed before. They still believe in Xu Lai's speed, but they have to urge him. After all, there is still a time limit for submitting works, and the movie also has a release time. This promotional song is used to promote the movie.

Writing songs is not difficult for Xu Lai, but this time it is equivalent to a proposition composition. Not only must he consider whether he can write it, but he must also consider whether it fits the theme. This is still a little difficult.

But by coincidence, the protagonist in the movie "Fast and Furious 7" died in a car accident, and Xu Lai also had Lu Han and Huang Zitao leave beside him. Although the nature of the departure was different, the feelings were indeed somewhat similar, so he took it for granted. For the parting of Lu Han and Huang Zitao, some elements of the movie theme were added to complete the creation of the whole work.

The work was submitted in advance, and the producer was very satisfied. Originally, the producer wanted to recommend a singer, but Universal Records argued hard and helped Xu Lai get the opportunity to sing. After all, Xu Lai is also very popular now, and the original creator Singing songs also has certain advantages.

Of course Xu Lai is very satisfied with this, so that he can earn more money.

In Europe and the United States, the copyright of Xu Lai's carefully crafted single for "Fast and Furious 7" is not all owned by Xu Lai, but also by the producer. His millions of dollars are not so easy to get.

Xu Lai won the opportunity to sing here, so he can get more money. Of course, what is more important is that Xu Lai can take a ride on the popularity of the big IP of the "Fast and Furious" series, which is good for Xu Lai. The future development is more promising, otherwise Universal Music will try its best to fight for this opportunity for Xu Lai?
He can already see the bright future ahead.

He knew this very well, Universal Company knew it well, and of course many people outside knew it too. When Xu Lai went to participate in reality shows and electronic music festival performances, he received a lot of notes, but he ignored them.

He himself clearly knows his own value, and of course Universal also knows it, so within an acceptable range, he will try his best to meet Xu Lai's needs.

For example... help him buy tickets, come to Los Angeles, how can I not watch the game?
