It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 317 Best Newcomer Award Without Suspense
The MAMA ceremony is coming as scheduled, and Xu Lai and all the singers and idols have been looking forward to it for a long time. Of course, countless carpet stars who want to hit the red carpet are also waiting for it.

The carpet stars have no works to gain attention, so they can only rely on the red carpet to get some heat. If the company's operation is better, news like "yan pressure" will come out again, but it will probably be another burst In scolding and entanglement, red can be a little red, but it is also black and red, which is untenable.

Regarding the red carpet project before the start of the MAMA ceremony, Xu Lai was not arranged to walk with the other nine people from XO. No, it was eight people. There is no way to leave, so I will only be absent from MAMA this time.

In the XO of ten people, only eight people walked the red carpet in the end, and it is a bit uncomfortable to think about it.

But the function was the worse one. One of the five members of the troupe retired a year ago, and the captain couldn't come back from the mainland. This time, only three people came to the scene, and there were only three people performing on stage.

Back to Xu Lai, he walked the red carpet together with Lin Yuner's partner, and Girls' Generation lost one person because of this. This is also a small privilege of the director, and such a small request will definitely not be rejected Yes, coming down from under Mu Shang arranged by SM Company for the director, Xu Lai and Lin Yuner looked at the media who were about to face each other, and stood in front of the red carpet and whispered.

"Now it's an open and aboveboard contact with you at close quarters." Lin Yun'er said in a low voice.

"Then do you want to hold on tighter? This opportunity is rare." Xu Lai replied with a smirk.

"What? It's only been a night and you want to see the development results?"

"No, I'm talking about business!"

"It's all your fault for leading me astray..." Lin Yuner said confidently, which made Xu Lai laugh.

"Okay, I'm leaving." Xu Lai nodded towards Lin Yun'er.

"Well, I'm ready." Lin Yun'er nodded slightly.

Afterwards, the two of them walked onto the red carpet under the gaze of the media. The flashing lights kept flashing along the way, and the long-term practice of opening their eyes was finally useful at this time.

Because they are afraid of being photographed with their eyes closed in front of the media (some people are completely different with their eyes closed and their eyes open), artists will practice opening their eyes before their debut. No matter how strong your light is, I will not blink. eyes.

Xu Lai and Lin Yuner, artists with good basic skills, walked over with smiles all the way, but both of them could feel each other's stiffness, especially Xu Lai, he felt that Lin Yuner, who was stiff-mouthed, pulled him a little harder, and then , he lightly patted Lin Yuner's arm, signaling her to relax.

In fact, this is normal and a very gentlemanly approach, but after being photographed by the media, it is not like this in the eyes of marketing accounts.

It's all in hand, aren't these two in love?They are in love!

It seems that the normal behavior between men and women becomes abnormal in front of Xu Lai and Lin Yuner, the "gossip objects". Fortunately, they are already in a relationship, otherwise they would really be disgusted by the out-of-context marketing accounts of the outside world. , but now they feel that it doesn't matter.

Neither of them particularly cared about the announcement of the love affair. It's actually not bad for them to fall in love like this now. When everyone is busy, it would be nice to meet at home every now and then.

But Xu Lai saw the photos taken of the two of them, and he also felt that the two of them would not be able to hide it for long, whether it was public or not... it should be a chance.

"Xu Lai, Yun'er, look here!"

A large group of media cameras gathered together, and everyone wanted to take good photos, so they made a noise to attract the attention of Xu Lai and Lin Yuner. Xu Lai was not familiar with which of the reporters carrying the cameras, so he just She favors whoever has the loudest voice, but as she walked to the main stage, Lin Yuner stood up and whispered to Xu Lai, "The media for a while is more important, just you and me."

Xu Lai nodded, and then amidst the shouts of the reporters again, Xu Lai was originally looking this way, but Lin Yun'er insisted on calling him here.

"Look over here first, this is the reporter from "CeCi"."

"Look here, this is a shot from South Korean Vogue."

……

Lin Yuner knew the camera positions and reporters of these magazines and directed Xu Lai like the back of her hand, taking care of the cameras from heavy to light, and some of them were really beyond her care, so she just skipped them. Anyway, Lin Yuner paid special attention to important magazines and media , so there is no problem.

In the red carpet project, it is luck for lesser-known media and lesser-known artists to have good photos. Lesser-known media artists will not take care of them so much, and lesser-known artists will not be paid much attention by the media. It's all pretty realistic.The entertainment industry competes for popularity and commercial value, and these two are usually stuck together and difficult to separate.

The media work very fast. Photos of Xu Lai and Lin Yuner holding hands intimately were sent out along with ambiguous marketing articles. Before the MAMA ceremony started, the photos on the red carpet A heat storm began.

These articles usually first praise Xu Lai and Lin Yuner as handsome men and women, and then make a statement like "they are a good match", then attach a photo of the two from a good angle, and then put a picture of Xu Lai taking Lin Yuner arms to comfort her, and then began to speculate ambiguously about the relationship between the two. There are suggestive rhetorical questions, and the netizens themselves will give the answer directly.

The usual means of marketing, but tried and tested.

For example, Xu Lai and Lin Yuner this time, it was just two photos and some wishful thinking by the marketing account. The fans of the two families immediately ignited, especially the CP fans of the two, which almost reached a climax.

……

The location arrangement of the MAMA ceremony is that the nominees sit together in the front, and those in the back are for those who attend the ceremony, and the fans who enter the venue are in the back.

And the arrangement of the nominees' seats is very realistic. The famous ones sit in the front, and the high-status ones sit in the front. If it weren't for the leaders who Xu Lai didn't know sitting in the first row, Xu Lai probably would have sat in the first row. went in a row.

In fact, Xu Lai sat in the second row, together with Big Bang Five and Park Zhenying, Lin Yuner and the members of Girls' Generation were in the third row, Lin Yuner specially sat behind Xu Lai, Chadan was also in the third row, SM's Kyuhyun, the best singer candidate sat in the back row.

MAMA officially started after the host's entrance. The opening ceremony of the grand ceremony is a rock show. It is estimated that the organizer's idea is to let the rock songs warm up the scene first. In Xu Lai's eyes, due to the troubles caused by the support culture, this rock and roll is really not good. He subconsciously judges it from the perspective of a singer, but after some operations by the fans, it seems that the effect is quite good.

But Xu saw that the other artists didn't seem particularly cold, so they stopped cheering for the rock band, just being real and not showing off, but they just weren't interested.

The second show got everyone interested. Taeyeon's single "I" was of good quality, and Taeyeon sang well. Everyone got involved and hummed along with Taeyeon. It was at the end of her performance that she cheered loudly. Sure enough, even if the fans cheered, they still had a recognition of good shows and not-so-good shows.

It was true that the fans of the rock band cheered after the performance, but the cheers were more for the start of the grand ceremony. After Kim Taeyeon's performance, they really cheered for her performance.

Soon, after Kim Taeyeon's performance, the first award--the best male newcomer award presentation session began. First, the host gave a long speech on it, and then entered the nomination session.

In fact, iKON is the only male group that is competitive. The sales volume of the album "Orientation Sniper" is second to none among the newcomers, but they are unlucky. Xu Lai's name is included in the list of the best male newcomers. When Xu Lai's name appears, It was basically a cheering situation.

Xu Lai's fans came to the scene quite a lot, but the fans of other artists did not hold back. Now that the voice is so loud, it is probably because Xu Lai's influence has really penetrated into other people's homes, and has not yet reached It's not a problem to let them climb the wall, but it's no problem to cheer for him when he doesn't conflict with his idol.

"I'm also very much looking forward to the winner of the Best Male Newcomer Award." Kim So-hyun said playfully, before opening the envelope and reading the name on the envelope, "The winner of the Best Male Newcomer Award is- —”

"Congratulations Xu Lai."

The camera showed Xu Lai. Xu Lai's face appeared on the big screen with a smile on his face. He was really calm. He didn't look like an award-winning newcomer at all. He stood up and waved to everyone, and then prepared to go to the side. Give up your seat and go out to receive the award.

Of course, the camera was also shown on iKON, the "powerful" contender for the best male newcomer. The whole group applauded, with congratulatory smiles on their faces, but everyone knew that they were not feeling very well, even though it was very early I already knew the answer in my heart before, but when I came to the scene, I still expected a miracle to happen.

"Xu Lai, Xu Lai, you're winning the prize!" When Xu Lai got up, Lin Yun'er whispered softly beside her, she was really more excited than she was winning the prize herself.

Xu Lai smiled at Lin Yuner and said, "I'll go and receive the award."

After speaking, he walked down the aisle to the stage.

"Although he belongs to you, he is the one who won the award. Why do you look more excited than him?" Kim Taeyeon, who had just finished singing and returned to her seat, was still panting, seeing Lin Yuner's excited expression. The appearance couldn't help but joked.

"Oh, it's not that I haven't won the MAMA Newcomer Award~" Lin Yuner sighed with a smile and laughed at herself.

When they debuted, they met Wonder Girls, and they were directly suppressed for more than a year. It was not until 09 that the song "Gee" defeated the Wonder Girls who left South Korea and went to the United States in South Korea, so don't talk about newcomer awards. "When the fire broke out, they were still deep in the black sea quagmire.

"Look at Chanyeol, he is also happy, but not particularly happy, this is the one who won the rookie award." Lin Yuner said.

"Yuner is angry, do you call me?" Park Chanyeol had very good ears, and he could hear Lin Yuner calling his name from a few people away.

"Oh, let me share the joy with you." Lin Yuner smiled.

"Oh." Park Chanyeol felt a little baffled, it's not like he didn't hear the news that Xu Lai won the award.

Then Xu Lai went to the stage to receive the trophy, and everyone focused on the stage again.

"I'm honored to receive this award. I'd like to thank my fans for their support, my friends for their support, and those who inspire me to write good songs. I hope I can continue to contribute better songs to everyone in the future. work."

When Xu Lai came to the stage, the song "Perfect" was played. He said that during the acceptance speech, his eyes moved side by side, and finally he saw Lin Yuner. Lin Yuner was also looking at him. At a certain moment, their eyes met. Smile.

Xu Lai's smile seemed to be taken for granted on the stage, but Lim Yoona's smile off the stage was a bit nympho in Kim Taeyeon's eyes.

"Do you think he saw you just now?"

"I must have seen it, he was still smiling at me." Lin Yuner said.

"." Kim Taeyeon didn't want to speak anymore.

"The song "Perfect" that was played just now, he said before that it was written to express love..."

"I don't want to hear..." Kim Taeyeon covered her ears.

Lin Yuner smiled smugly, now every time Kim Taeyeon complains to her, she can always find words to fight back, Kim Taeyeon often has no advantage with her, but Kim Taeyeon is always willing to try and torture herself.

Lin Yuner was also merciful and didn't continue talking, Xu Lai had already come off the stage after receiving the award, and the award for best female newcomer was announced on the stage, Xu Lai just sat down on the stage when Lin Yuner patted her on the shoulder.

"Show me the trophy, okay?" Lin Yun'er whispered behind Xu Lai's ear, because she was asking, she couldn't help but have a coquettish tone.

"You take it to see." Xu Lai smiled, turned around and handed the trophy to Lin Yuner behind him, and then he saw Lin Yuner showing off to Kim Taeyeon.

"Look, O'Neill, the best newcomer trophy."

"It's not you who took it, why are you showing off..." Kim Taeyeon felt that Lin Yoona was so annoying.

"Isn't this something we all don't have? I specifically asked my man to borrow a trophy to enjoy it together..."

"I can't stand it anymore, Yoona, don't talk about it." Sunny sat on the side and held her forehead. She was laughing when she saw Kim Taeyeon's frustration just now, but seeing Lin Yuner brought the rest of them along, she couldn't bear it anymore. .

"Since sunny O'Neill said so, I'll return it to Xu Lai."

"You can wait for this one, let me have a look first." Sunny changed her tone and smiled tacitly with Lin Yuner.

"You two really..." Taeyeon was completely speechless.

"Then do you want to watch it?" Sunny asked Kim Taeyeon with a smile.

"You read it and pass it to me for a look."

　Two in one.
