It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 33
Xu Lai got a recommendation from Kenzie, and accompanied by Kenzie in the afternoon, he said that he would go to meet the seniors she mentioned, first ask for the approval of the seniors, then it will be much easier for the program group, after all this The program is based on the musicians participating in the program, rather than the plot designed by the program group.

Kenzie said that he took Xu Lai to meet the seniors, but the appointment was not in a coffee shop or restaurant, but directly in a recording studio in Cheongdam-dong. When the two arrived at their destination, there were already four I was sitting in the instrument room outside the recording room. They had already started the music inside, some were accompanied by guitars, some were tapping keyboards, and then a melodious and melodious female voice came out slowly. This is "Moon River", Moon River.

And there was a yellow-haired comedian who was listening carefully, his palms gently tapping the armrest of the chair along with the music.

There was also a cameraman on the side carrying a camera to shoot. Xu Lai felt that he was late because everyone had already started to prepare for the shoot.

With such an anxious mood, Xu Lai and Kenzie finished listening to the song "Moon River", and gave applause generously at the end. They sang really well.

The applause from Xu Lai and Kenzie made the four of them stop their movements. Everyone turned their attention to the two of them, not just Kenzie, but also sizing up Xu Lai. Kenzie and the others have known each other for a long time. Xu Lai, a face-to-face young man, particularly attracted their attention, but they probably knew that this was the very talented Xu Lai that Kenzie had mentioned.

"Xu Lai, let's get to know the seniors." Kenzie took the initiative to introduce the seniors to Xu Lai before everyone spoke, and took this opportunity to introduce Xu Lai to these seniors.

"This is Li Suluo, the lead singer just now, a very famous singer."

"Hello Senior Li Suluo, I am Xu Lai, a new member of XO..." Xu Lai bowed deeply to Li Suluo after Kenzie's introduction, with a shy smile on his face.

"This is Yin Daoxian..."

"This is Liu Xiyeol..."

"As for this, Lu Hongzhe, a famous comedian..."

……

The other three Xu Lai did the same thing. After being introduced by Kenzie, they bowed deeply and introduced their identities. The four seniors also responded to Xu Lai's greetings in a friendly manner without showing their identities.

After the greeting after the meeting, the photographer next to him did not stop shooting. Xu Lai was called by Li Suluo to sit down. The three seniors who knew music began to test Xu Lai.

"Xu Lai, right? Can I just call you Xu Lai like this?" Yoon Do-hyun, as the second oldest brother in the whole team, but not as shy as Lee Su-ra, started to greet Xu Lai and prepared to ask Xu came to his talent.

Everyone came to this show because of music. Everyone has their own strengths. They don't want Xu Lai to really join the team as an idol. What they want is someone who is talented in music.

"Yes, senior." Xu Lai sat next to Li Suluo, and nodded towards Yin Daoxian, who was separated by a person.

"Xu Lai, do you have any better instrument?" Yin Daoxian asked.

He, not only him, Li Suluo and Liu Xiyeol don't know much about Xu Lai, they just know that Xu Lai is her excellent student from Kenzie's few words, but everyone still doesn't know how good Xu Lai is, they only know that he once I wrote a song myself.

"Eh..." Xu Lai paused, looking around at the musical instruments in the tone room. Everyone thought he was looking for the musical instruments he was good at, and then Xu Lai pointed to the clarinet and saxophone in the cabinet next to him.

"Are you good at playing the flute? Or are you good at the saxophone?" Yin Daoxian leaned forward slightly and asked Xu Lai.

"I don't know how to play the flute very much. I don't know much about the saxophone. Others... I'm not very proficient at the bass, and the rest are pretty good." Xu Lai reserved a hand for a little humility, and didn't say what he was good at. It's very powerful, I just say that I use it well.

However, Xu Lai meant that he was modest, but this made Yin Daoxian and Liu Xiyeol's faces change. Li Suluo on the side showed obvious interest in Xu Lai, and Lu Hongzhe, who didn't know much about music, was on the side. Watching the play, I didn't speak, but when Xu said that he knew a lot of musical instruments, he showed a surprised expression at the right time.

His expression was a bit exaggerated, as if he was frightened.

"It means...you know how to play drums?" Yin Daoxian's expression was a bit exciting. Xu said that he doesn't know how to play bass, and he didn't mention drums. Now their band is really only one drum away from being called a band. As for the bass... There is a bass player in his own band, and the guitar, keyboard, and drum kit are enough for general street performances.

Xu Lai smiled shyly at Yin Daoxian. He just happened to be sitting in front of the drum set. He took the drum sticks from the side of the drum set and performed a fancy solo show for Yin Daoxian. Not to mention the passion, but the technique To show off.

"Oh! Not bad!" Yin Daoxian has played in the band for nearly 20 years, and he basically knows the drummer's technique. Xu Lai's technique fully meets his requirements, and even exceeds his expectations by a lot.

Before Xu Lai said that he played other musical instruments well, he really thought that Xu Lai just played well, at an ordinary level, but when this drum set was played, it completely overturned Yin Daoxian's understanding of "good". Almost at the pro level, huh?

"Xu Lai, do you know how to play guitar? Is it 'good' to play drums?" Yin Daoxian's current heart is different from the calm and even indifferent desire to pretend to be a cup. He is now impressed by Xu Lai's skills. Getting nervous, he took off the guitar hanging from his body and handed it to Xu Lai while talking.

"Xu Lai, don't just play the guitar, just play and sing." Kenzie, who was quietly filling the glass with his arms around his chest, and whose face hadn't changed a bit since he came in, suddenly spoke to Xu Lai.

"Good teacher." Xu Lai nodded obediently, beat himself in his heart, swept his right hand across the strings, and then a burst of piano sound slowly flowed out.

After learning that Xu Lai was going to play and sing, Li Suluo became more and more interested in Xu Lai, and even Lu Hongzhe, a comedian who didn't know much about music, became serious.

Lu Hongzhe didn't quite understand Xu Lai's solo performance on the drums, but he could still appreciate the playing and singing. If it sounded good to the ears, wouldn't that be the end of it?

At this time, the sound of the piano was melodious, and Yoon Do-hyun, Lee Su-ra and Yoo Hee-yeol knew what song Xu Lai was going to sing as soon as they heard the prelude, Yoon Do-hyun whispered next to Lee So-ra, "It's "Yellow"."

As soon as his words fell, Xu Lai sang softly: "Look at the stars, look how they shine for u..."

Originally, Yin Daoxian wanted to talk to Li Suluo about Xu Lai's playing skills, he is an expert in this area.

However, after hearing the first line sung by Xu Lai, he let go of the idea of ​​discussion, sat on the spot and listened to Xu Lai's performance with all his heart, and even followed Xu Lai's lyrics silently, gently following the rhythm. Shaking her body, Li Suluo, who was next to her, covered her mouth in surprise after hearing Xu Lai's singing, and then smiled at Yin Daoxian in surprise, only to find that Yin Daoxian seemed to be brought in by Xu Lai, and she laughed even happier .

As for the remaining three, they watched the performance very seriously from the sidelines, not as emotional as Yoon Do-hyun and Lee So-ra.

At the end of the song, the three musicians really began to agree with what Kenzie said to them before, "Xu Lai is a musical genius". Let’s just say that his playing and singing skills are much higher than the idols on the market, even most singers can’t match him, and his timbre is very attractive, easy to catch people’s ears .

Moreover, they also heard Kenzie say that Xu Lai could write his own songs. This... was like God forcibly feeding Xu Lai. For a moment, the three seniors, who were already over [-] years old, lamented that the younger generation was terrible.

However, they are also curious, why would Miao Zi, a singer-songwriter like Xu Lai, join an idol boy band to debut?Are the top executives of SM Company blind?

But this is not the time to discuss the magical operation of SM Company. They are very satisfied with Xu Lai's two hands, which far exceeded their expectations of Xu Lai. Now they don't doubt that Xu Lai said before that many of his instruments are He played the "big talk" well, but he began to look forward to how many instruments Xu Lai knew and how well he played them.

Yes, it's playing, not practicing.

For others, musical instruments may really be used to practice, but in the eyes of Yin Daoxian and the others, isn't Xu Lai who is fed by God just playing musical instruments?Can a normal musician be proficient in so many instruments?
Not even a little genius.

"Xu Lai, what musical instruments do you know?" After Xu Lai finished playing and singing, Yin Daoxian didn't praise Xu Lai for how well he played and sang, but began to ask Xu Lai how many instruments he knew.

It doesn’t make much sense to discuss how well Xu Lai plays and sings. Everyone has ears, and Lu Hongzhe is also wearing a hearing aid at this time (this is a joke, because Lu Hongzhe doesn’t know much about music, and he doesn’t know much about some profound music exchanges. clear).

"I can also play the piano, the keyboard, the violin, and the percussion is pretty good..."

"OKOK, don't talk about it, I probably understand." Yin Daoxian stopped Xu Lai in time, without giving Xu Lai a chance to act silently.

Yin Daoxian's reaction made Kenzie, who had been indifferent for a long time, burst out laughing. Yin Daoxian didn't feel displeased when he saw her smile, on the contrary, he felt a little embarrassed.

Yin Daoxian didn't really believe Kenzie's saying that Xu Lai is very good and is especially suitable for this variety show, but now Xu Lai has shown his real skills and conquered him directly. What else can he say?
Damn, it's all because of the unfairness of God, it's hard for others to want him to enjoy the food, but he held the rice spoon in fear that Xu Lai would not eat, so he tried his best to feed him.

This……

Not much more to say.

"This is the so-called back wave..." Yin Daoxian sighed in front of the five people, but his face was still full of smiles.

　Sorry, I'm still a [-]-word update today.

　　I'm a little annoyed. I'll see if I can write more. If I can, I'll post it after twelve o'clock.
