It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 272 I Will Always Be Here

Lin Yun'er didn't carry Xu Lai on her back. Xu Lai hadn't drunk too much, but his head was a little dizzy, not to the point where his feet were weak. Lin Yun'er just held Xu Lai's hand and held the other hand. He took his arm and led him in a guiding way, stumbling to the underground parking lot, and then he got into the passenger seat, not forgetting to fasten his seat belt.

"It seems that you are quite sober, and you all know that you are wearing a seat belt?" Lin Yun'er looked at Xu Lai with a smile, then helped him close the car door, walked around the front of the car and took a posture, locked the car door, lit the engine and started .

"If you are very sleepy, you can lean on and sleep for a while, and I will call you when you arrive." When Lin Yuner drove the car out of the underground parking lot, she also made arrangements for Xu Lai.

"Do you know where I live? I still live in the dormitory now." Xu Lai told Lin Yuner the address. After all, Chadan's dormitory is not a secret among artists, and everyone who is close knows it.

"Why haven't you thought about buying a house? Just buy a house in Seoul." When it comes to living in a dormitory, Lin Yuner just mentioned it.

It would be too inconvenient to stay in the dormitory after falling in love with her, and buying a house is still very easy for Xu Lai, just writing one more song.

Lin Yuner knows that a hit single in Europe and the United States can basically earn tens of millions of dollars, and Xu Lai also has several million in his hands. In Seoul, a city where every inch of land is expensive, it is easy to buy a house. And it's a relatively good location and a relatively luxurious house.

"I feel like I don't have much time to stay in Seoul, so I haven't thought about buying a house." After a moment of silence, Xu Lai felt a little melancholy.

"You are indeed busy with work, and you are all overseas." Lin Yuner couldn't help but sighed as she muttered, but then she said, "But aren't you with me now? You will still spend a lot of time in Seoul in the future." More, having a place to live in Seoul is actually pretty good, it will be more convenient.”

As for what is more convenient, I believe everyone knows it, so I won’t go into details.

"Moreover, buying a house in Seoul can be regarded as an investment. Compared with Seoul, it is only so big. People from all over South Korea are crowding towards Seoul. Housing prices are like the capital city of mainland China. It must only rise and never fall." Lin Yuner continued.

"That's true..." Xu Lai reacted after hearing what Lin Yuner said. He has not paid much attention to Seoul, nor has he considered buying a house here. He almost bought real estate in Los Angeles, but finally decided Buy in mainland China first and wait elsewhere.

As for having a place to live in Seoul would be more convenient, Xu Lai thought it was true, renting a house is not as good as buying a house, and it's not particularly expensive.

At least there is no pressure on him now.

"But... have you ever thought about buying a house in Seoul?"

The bright street lights flashed by the side of the road, Lin Yuner stared at the front and didn't pay attention, Xu Lai felt that the street lights were a bit too dazzling, so dense and flashing so fast.

"I really haven't thought about it."

"You haven't thought about it since you're with me?" Lin Yuner frowned slightly.

"I didn't realize it before, but now I want to buy it." Xu Lai answered honestly, but this answer obviously couldn't satisfy Lin Yuner.

"If there were no things about Brother Lu and Brother Taozi, maybe I would really buy a house in Seoul early, and then there would be a place to go whether it's a date with you or a party with friends, but my good friend in Seoul now There are not many, there are only two or three people who can be invited to the house, adding you is just one more person, if you buy a house in Seoul and live alone, it feels quite deserted, why not live in the dormitory, and Brother Chanyeol As a roommate, you can occasionally be popular." When Xu said this, his tone was quite heavy.

"Also, I don't know if I will stay in Seoul forever."

Xu Lai's words contained a lot of meanings, and Lin Yuner had experienced this kind of thing, and she was very keenly aware of it.

The last person who said "I don't know if I can stay here forever" was Jung Soo Yeon.

Xu Lai is getting more and more popular now, and it is getting more and more popular in the area that SM company can't control. It feels like a young king of the new generation. Now most people in the European and American music circles are very optimistic about Xu Lai. , especially when Xu Lai’s own albums are basically produced by himself, everyone recognizes his talent and commercial value, a few people still hold prejudices, but that is not the mainstream at all.Although Xu Lai is an Asian, he has now been recognized by mainstream aesthetics in Europe and the United States. The consecutive B-list weekly crowns are recognized by mainstream music.

Moreover, Xu Lai's songs are not saliva songs or anything, and there are also many singles with profound meanings. "Viva La Vida" has been cueed many times by other singers and music producers, and many people even shouted from the air that they want The cooperation with Xu Lai also started from this song.

It's just that until now, there are only a few singers who have worked with Xu Lai, and they are getting bigger and bigger.

Lin Yuner, as Xu Lai's girlfriend, of course understands Xu Lai's development. Now he is really out of SM company's control. Basically, SM company has no choice but to manage him more and more loosely, but some Things cannot be solved by loose management, such as contracts.

Xu Lai's contract is a typical slave contract. It was signed for three years and expired at the same time as the contracts of other Chadan members. It includes the copyright of the song, but relying on this contract, SM has made a lot of money from Xu Lai.

Moreover, SM Company earned not only money from Xu Lai, but also fame and stock price. Anyway, SM Company's name in Europe and the United States is much more famous than before, and the stock price has also risen a lot with Xu Lai's success. The company is making money. Money, Xu Lai is also making money, it seems quite harmonious, but contradictions are indeed secretly breeding.

If Xu Lai develops in Asia and gets the resources of many SM companies and is subject to their checks and balances, then this contract must last until the end of the contract validity period, but this is not the case now. Xu Lai signed to the label instead of signing any agency contract with SM. As long as Xu Lai is willing to break the contract, Universal Music can directly pay Xu Lai liquidated damages, anyway, it will be earned back in the future.

You can make more money yourself, so why should you share it?

North American capitalists have many ideas and are much more domineering. There is a high probability that SM Company will not be able to do anything about it.

Of course, Xu Lai would not want to take the initiative to renege on the contract, SM company has been kind to him, and he also has good brothers and girlfriends here, everything is not so easy, unless SM company is too stupid.

But it is obvious that SM's top executives are not seriously ill.

"You can stay in Seoul occasionally, I'm fine."

Lin Yuner said this as if she had been thinking about it for a long time.

"I'll be here often, don't worry."

Xu Lai responded.
