It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 266 You are not insignificant (two in one)

Xu Lai's new album has just released 150 million copies in just one week, and it still looks like it has a lot of stamina. "Love yourself" has returned to the top of the B chart, and there are five songs in Xu Lai's album The songs are ranked in the top [-], plus one "Sugar", that's six.

The sales volume of Xu Lai's new album is astonishing. It seems that there may be sales of more than 500 million copies. This kind of achievement is quite amazing in the current European and American music circles. After all, Xu Lai is still a newcomer, and there will be a long time in the future Very, and the start of his career is so good, people can't help but look forward to his future.

However, although Xu Lai's new album is coming in a menacing manner, some people are not afraid at all.Before the release of Xu Lai's new album, Bieber announced the pre-sale time of his album, and Adele also released the plan for his new album. A king and a queen, after the release of Xu Lai's album, he carried out " Backstab".

In fact, it’s not really a backstab. The current Xu Lai still can’t compare with Bieber and Adele. A young man became famous for almost ten years, and his second album sold more than 3200 million copies. What does Xu Lai compare with them?Latte head?

Therefore, from the beginning, no one regarded Xu Lai as a competitor on the same level as Bieber and Adele. On the contrary, Xu Lai had a sense of sacrifice to attract others. After all, the quality of Xu Lai's album is very high, and Bieber You can't be worse than Adele, right?
The two have the confidence to announce the release of the album after Xu Lai, which proves that they are not afraid of Xu Lai at all, unlike some singers who have changed their album plans because of Xu Lai, and Bieber and Adele are coming aggressively , Taylor, the country queen, is also eager to try. It seems that the second half of 2015 is about to start a war in the music world. Everyone has already sent out a signal, attracting the attention of many netizens and fans.

However, a chaotic war was a chaotic war, and Xu Lai didn't feel anything. Anyway, he was just a newcomer now. If he had an advantage, he would make a profit. There didn't seem to be anything wrong with him if he lost. He didn't feel any pressure at all. After promoting himself, After releasing his new album, he will begin preparing for his first tour.

Some singers can't hold a concert in their whole life, while some singers can start a global tour after only one year of debut, which shows that people's fortunes are really different.

Whether a singer can hold a concert is not only related to his own strength, works and popularity, but also related to his own company. After all, concerts are planned by the company to let fans spend money on their favorite singers. To put it bluntly, Just to make money from fans.

However, a sincere concert will not have the embarrassment of making money, but will be a friendly feedback to fans.At the same time, concerts are also an opportunity for singers and fans to get in close contact with each other. Basically, every agency pays more attention to concerts, except for some companies that are just for quick money.

Universal Music still attaches great importance to Xu Lai, and has put a lot of thought into preparing an excellent concert plan for Xu Lai.In the end, 26 tours were discussed, respectively in Los Angeles, Miami, and Memphis in the United States, Beijing, Shanghai, and Rongcheng in the mainland (Rongcheng is Xu Lai's specially selected hometown), as well as Seoul, Busan in South Korea, London in the United Kingdom...etc. There are 26 cities, and the number of live concert tickets prepared in each city is uneven. The most popular areas have more tickets and larger venues. Moreover, Universal Music has special arrangements for the three cities in the mainland. For example, Xu Lai’s home city.

The location of the concert has been selected, but the preparations for the concert cannot be completed in a short while. Xu Lai's global tour this time will be jointly facilitated by Universal Music and SM Company. The company arranges it by itself. Of course, the revenue share of the concert has changed, but all this has nothing to do with Xu Lai. Anyway, he owns the copyright of the song, and his income from the concert will not be low.

There are many singers in the European and American music circles who actually don’t hold many concerts. Except for those who have not accumulated enough popularity and works, the rest are those singers who are qualified but unwilling to hold concerts because they do not have the copyright to the songs they sing. The copyright belongs to the creator, and the income from each of their concerts will be divided a lot to the creator. Plus the company's share, there is actually not much in their hands, and sometimes it takes a lot of money. After all the hard preparations for the concert, I was almost exhausted, so I might as well just stand on the stage and take in a few commercial performances.

In the European and American music circles, singers who own the copyright of their songs really don't want to be too happy when they hold a concert. Just like the little country music queen Taylor, holding a concert is printing money.

Having said that, after starting to prepare for the concert, Xu Lai will start running on both sides. Los Angeles-Seoul, both sides have their own arrangements. He is very concerned about his first tour and asked to participate in the overall planning of the plan And some relatively large details, so he really felt tired from running around during this time.

And when he was preparing for the concert in Seoul, he did not forget the wedding of his loyal fan Li Caixing. When the wedding came as scheduled, he also quietly came to their wedding scene.

He came to Li Caixing's wedding, except that he really wanted to see Li Caixing again and talk to her, and then there was the email sent to him by Li Caixing's fiancé, it really touched his heart, she seems to have met A person who loves very much wants to return to his own life, Xu Lai thinks this is very good.

He thinks this is a good example for fans, lest they get too obsessed with themselves and miss the people around them. After all, there are not many outstanding people like him.

Xu Lai's appearance at the wedding was also arranged. After the bride came out, the groom would sing a song of her idol for her, and the groom's microphone would not produce sound. The microphone that produced the sound was in Xu Lai's hands .

Xu Lai hid behind the stage, watched the groom face the bride in front of the flower road from the gap, and quietly gestured to Xu Lai backstage to get him ready, and the music sounded.

Li Caixing thought that his groom was hinting to the backstage to play music, and playing music was really playing music. Listening to the song that was basically the same as the original soundtrack of "Perfect", Li Caixing couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing. It looked like a scene In an accident, the staff who played the music in the background mistakenly played the accompaniment to the original song. She looked at her lover who was still calmly putting on airs, and she could only smile for a while.

"What are you doing, you idiot." Only she could hear the loving murmur, and everyone could see the smile and warmth in her eyes, "I don't know if the music is wrong? But forgive you, After all, you really can't sing as well as my brother."

“darling you look perfect tonight~”

After the last sentence of the first paragraph was sung, the groom put down the microphone and faced his bride with a smile, as if he was about to announce some surprise, but he didn’t pick up the microphone again. When the beat came, he was not singing. It's still going on, the singing is still going on, and... the lyrics are different.

“Well I found a man stronger than anyone I know
I found a man who was stronger than all

He shares my dreams I hope that someday we'll share our home
He shared his dream with me I hope someday I can give him a home

I found a love to carry more than just my secrets
I've found a love that's more careful than all my secrets

To carry love to carry children of our own
Carry this love until we have a baby of our own"

It's still a familiar music beat, and it's still a familiar singing voice, but the lyrics have changed a lot.

"Why have the lyrics changed..." Li Caixing was a little confused. She had listened to Xu Lai's "Perfect" countless times. She had been humming along with it in her heart since the music started playing. She had memorized the lyrics countless times and printed the lyrics on her heart. She could even write it silently in her mind. She was confident that she would make no mistakes, but she had never heard of this musical version...

And it looks like it was sung live. Has Xu Lai sung this song live?She wasn't sure, she was very suspicious, because she didn't pay as much attention to Xu Lai as before when she was preparing for the wedding. She only occasionally took a look at his news when she took the time to find out that he was getting better and better. , put down the phone as if reassuring, and continued to do his own thing.

This is really a surprise...

Li Caixing listened to the music quietly, looking at her lover opposite him, and was deeply moved.

The guests sitting under the stage felt strange from the beginning of the singing, because the singing voice was too similar to the original singing, and it felt like the music was misplaced. When the groom put down the microphone and the singing in the music was still going on, they Realized that it looked like a mistake on set, it wasn't the groom's song...and...

"The lyrics are different from the original version."

A young man at the scene seemed to be familiar with Xu Lai's "Perfect", and then seemed to remember something, looked around as if looking for someone, and even took out his mobile phone and started shooting on the stage to confirm his guess.

Then, as some people guessed, the music stopped suddenly, as if the volume had been turned off, but the singing hadn't disappeared yet.

"We are still kids but we're so in love
We're young but we love so much
Fighting against all odds
A future against all adversity together"

A cappella without musical rhythm came from the stereo, the bride was stunned for a moment, but there were guests who reacted quickly in the audience, and immediately remembered the MV of Xu Lai's single "Sugar" some time ago, the content was to surprise her fans At the wedding scene, the bride, Li Caixing, is indeed Xu Lai's die-hard fan.

"This is Xu Lai! Xu Lai has come to the wedding!"

A cheer caused a commotion, and the guests off the stage were no longer quiet, and began to whisper to each other. The bride Li Caixing was also very excited when she heard the words, looking anxiously at her lover in front of her, her eyes were asking whether the cheer just now was true.

But before the groom could answer, Xu Lai appeared on the stage from behind. He was tall and straight in a decent suit, holding the microphone and singing, and he was still smiling at Li Caixing.

"Oh Mo!" Li Caixing covered her mouth, unable to speak at all, grabbed the groom next to her, held it tightly, looked at the groom for a while, and looked at Xu Lai on the stage for a while.

"This is the surprise I'm talking about." The groom smiled softly. The bride's expression was extremely complicated now. She was grateful that her lover had prepared this surprise for her, and she was also surprised by Xu Lai's arrival. She was speechless and even shed tears. shed tears.

"He's here, be happy. Don't you really want to see him?" The groom didn't seem jealous at all and was still comforting his bride.

"En." The bride nodded in response, turned her head to look excitedly and sadly at Xu Lai on the stage, and sang along with Xu Lai with a voice that she could hear.

"Baby I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms
My dear, I hold you and dance lightly in the dark
Barefoot on the grass
barefoot in the grass

……

You look perfect tonight
You are perfect tonight"

Li Caixing couldn't sing where Xu Lai changed his lyrics, but at the last moment they joined forces, Xu Lai saw Li Caixing, Li Caixing also saw Xu Lai, and they sang the last line together, Li Caixing listened to Xu Lai's singing, and Xu came to see Li Caixing's mouth shape.

"He sings really well." Li Caixing smiled at her lover as if crying.

"You sing very well, too." The groom looked at Li Caixing dotingly, and even took a tissue to help her absorb tears, but it didn't help, the makeup seemed to be a bit unbearable.

"Thank you everyone." After Xu Lai finished singing, he bowed to the audience and thanked him. Amidst the warm applause, he began his blessing, "I would like to congratulate the two newlyweds on their marriage. I hope you will have a happy marriage for a hundred years. Then Give birth to a son soon."

"Thank you." The groom and Li Caixing bowed to Xu Lai to thank him, and then Xu Lai didn't take up their time. They still had to make an oath. After leaving, the words they said afterwards were all said through the video.

"Thank you for coming to my wedding...can I call you brother?" Li Caixing hesitated.

"sure."

"I didn't expect you to come to my wedding."

"I watched the video you gave me."

"Ah... I thought we had no chance to meet again."

"We will indeed meet very rarely in the future because you have already started your own life. In fact, I am very happy that you are like this. Didn't I say it before? You like me and live your own life well at the same time. You are living your own life now. , so I don’t think what would happen if you quit, I think that’s fine.”

"It's really good. I don't want everyone to affect your own life just because you like me. Everyone should live a better life. If you like someone and make your life difficult, it's not worth it."

"um. Thank you."

"I should thank you. Then you and your husband must come to my concert and leave your contact information and I will leave tickets for you. So, we will meet again. You are not insignificant. I see you."
