It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 352 Idol Twenty Thirty (Continued)
"You have to do what you are in. As an idol, you have to do what an idol should do. If you enjoy the cheers and crowds from fans, you have to pay the corresponding price. Those who damage the personality cannot be touched. The line is far away, this is what a normal idol should do."

"Of course, when you have the strength to change your identity, that is, you can attract a group of fixed fans as an actor or singer, instead of attracting fans like being an idol before. Personality, then you will naturally not be afraid of the collapse of the personality caused by things like love, which will cause the loss of popularity. At this time, basically you can do what you want to do, and become a "normal" in the entertainment industry. people'."

This is Mr. He's understanding of the increasingly popular idol culture in mainland China. This understanding is basically the same. Mr. Huang seldom heard such a systematic explanation, saying that he has learned it.

The recording of the show had just started, and it was the time for the threesome. The guests had not arrived yet, and the three of them still rarely enjoyed leisure time in the show. After all, they had to rely on labor to make a living while waiting for the guests.

The news of Xu Lai's withdrawal from the team had been communicated with Lu Han and Huang Zitao before, and of course they fully supported Xu Lai's withdrawal from the team.

Why did you leave the team in the first place?It’s not that SM is not humane enough, caring enough, or respectful enough. Of course, the most important thing is that they can achieve better development if they leave at that time. To a certain extent, the reason why they left is that “XO blocked their way.” , the way that would make them better off.

For example, now, Lu Han's album is selling better than Chadan's album, and various film and television and variety show invitations are pouring in, and it is unbelievably popular in mainland China. Compared with Wu Sir, who left earlier, he is like an idol. The script of the heroine of the play is the same, and the journey is smooth.

Even because of Xu Lai's occasional help, his questioned professional ability has also been responded to. After all, he has said before that he will be "Mainland's C-pop", but there is no representative work that is good enough. It was very hurt, but fortunately, Xu Lai was there to help him and wrote two songs for him, which made him stand on his feet all at once.

Among other things, let’s just talk about the song "The Wind Rises". Last year’s song is still on the charts this year. It has been there for several months. The degree of recognition of the first song, now Lu Han has become better than before.

Huang Zitao, who has the same relationship with Xu Lai, is of course not bad. Although he was ridiculed by the crowd because of the official announcement of leaving the team before, and was even hacked by the whole Internet last year, since he participated in "Real Men", he The character set has been reversed.

Originally, he often said some frank speeches without brains, and was ridiculed for his low EQ, and was even criticized by netizens for being immature and immature. "True temperament", saying that he is naive and immature has become a youthful spirit, which means that his personality is just like this, full of edges and corners like a child who has not grown up.

Moreover, you still have to experience social blows.

The last sentence is an objective evaluation added by everyone.

But what kind of blow can he get?He has already experienced all the blows he should have, and now he still runs rampant like a big boy many times. Xu Lai sometimes feels that Huang Zitao should be younger than him, and he should call him brother. He should Call him Peach.

Even some of Huang Zitao's development suggestions were given by him. For example, if the acting skills are not good, you should avoid TV dramas and movies. Continental still has to put a part of its focus on music, and has one or two works that can be sold.

Of course, the latter Xu Lai can still help, but Huang Zitao wants to rely on himself now. I heard that this person is looking for a famous teacher to learn songwriting. Here is a good brother who is a celebrity in the industry who doesn't bother, but spends a lot of money and favors. Looking for someone else, I guess he didn't want to delay Xu Lai too much, so Xu Lai still introduced him to two producers he knew in mainland China.

For example, Sun Yizhou and Wang Sulong met in "Singer and Composer", but Xu Lai is not too clear about what he can learn.

When the two got the news of Xu Lai's withdrawal from the team, they sent Weibo to support him in time. In fact, it was not a support, they just expressed their own position, and they didn't say anything like "Xu Lai is doing the right thing". It is also very polite to say that I hope that both Xu Lai and Cha Dan can develop better. Specifically, what they want to say, it is appropriate to speak in private communication.

For example, before Xu Lai told the two of them that he had the intention of quitting Chadan, and then Park Chanyeol took the initiative to tell him about quitting the group and expressed his support. At that time, Lu Han and Huang Zitao thought it was Xu Lai leaving Chadan. It’s a good opportunity for Dandan. Anyway, I’m not too familiar with Chadan and others. A Park Chanyeol has already expressed his support, and a Zhang Yixing can definitely understand it. I don’t care about other people’s words, after all, I don’t care too much. cooked.

Lu Han, Huang Zitao, and Xu Lai should be the closest among the five sons of the mainland. Huang Zitao and Lu Han originally had a little conflict because of their withdrawal from the team, but because Xu Lai was in the middle to reconcile, naturally this small conflict would not be a big deal. , These two people interact quite a lot in normal times, and there is no saying that the team does not allow each other to publicly mention each other. The development and communication between the two are very harmonious.

Nowadays, many programs are looking for two people to perform on the same stage to attract a wave of sentimental fans, but their schedule has already been filmed far away, and it is estimated that there is nothing to be tuned, so they let it go temporarily, and wait for the future. Let's talk on the same stage again.

Having said that, ever since Xu Lai became popular in Europe and the United States, and then to South Korea and the mainland, Lu Han and Huang Zitao gradually realized that tea eggs did not help Xu Lai's development in any way, and even hindered Xu Lai's development. Yu Park Chanyeol's friendship and SM's grace of knowing you have not said anything for the time being. If it were Lu Han, he was ambitious and would definitely mention it earlier than Xu Lai. After all, he has confidence.

As for Huang Zitao, he was actually more forced, so he can’t say how decisive his choice is, but he does think that it’s time for Xu Lai to leave the group, and Park Chanyeol’s friendship is no longer the reason for him to stay in the team Obviously, he can develop better if he leaves the team. If Park Chanyeol still wants to stop him at this time, then Park Chanyeol will not be very competent as a friend. Sooner or later, there will be conflicts and he will be let go.

They all knew that Xu Lai wanted to adopt a more gentle approach, so although they knew it well, they never mentioned it, but when Xu Lai brought it up, they all supported it with both hands and feet, without any advice at all.

There is nothing to persuade, he is on the right path.

This was Xu Lai's response to Lu Han's "sorry" when he left, and now Lu Han changed this sentence back to Xu Lai's withdrawal from the team and used it in the same way.

Leaving will make things better, then leaving is not a bad thing, so what's wrong with being safe with each other?

Besides, he felt that Xu Lai had overcompensated, most of the albums were written by Xu Lai, so what is there to feel guilty about?He even thought that Xu Lai could leave with arrogance, without bowing his head.

However, Xu Lai has withdrawn from the tea egg, but his personal management contract is still signed with SM Company. The degree of freedom has been greatly increased, such as investing, or doing other things, he can follow the path of his own studio.

Now he is really starting to learn to become a new capital.

……

"I plan to make my relationship public, so...Mr. He, can you invite Yoona to participate in another episode of the show this season?"

During sleep time when the camera was turned off, Xu Lai couldn't fall asleep temporarily, so he took two middle-aged and elderly people to chat there and stayed up with him.

"You are also one of the investors now. You can just tell the director directly about this kind of thing. Although the early invitation quota has been tentatively decided, it is not irreversible." Teacher He said to Xu Lai directly after hearing this. , then looked at Xu Lai meaningfully, "Xiao Xu, don't underestimate your face. You should know that your current favor is very valuable."

"This kid probably doesn't quite know where he is now." Teacher Huang also smiled beside him, "Xiao Xu, do you know how many people are looking for me to ask for your contact information? They want to invite you to Participated in the show, but couldn't pass the test of your studio, so I wanted to take a shortcut to get in touch with you, you don't know, I am annoyed by people's interruptions now."

Immediately afterwards, Teacher Huang said jokingly, "If I get annoyed to the point that I can't die one day, I will directly give your contact information to others, and let them bother you in person."

"Ms. Huang, just let them come to me. If you are too embarrassed to speak too harshly, then I will refuse." Xu Lai nodded in the dark, and then turned sideways towards the two of them.

Teacher Huang smiled and said nothing. He closed his eyes and rested there, guessing that the middle-aged and elderly people were also a little sleepy.

"Teacher He..." Xu Lai suddenly remembered something.

"What?" Teacher He replied.

"Didn't you tell me about the idol talent show before? I paid attention to that show when I was in South Korea. The popularity in South Korea is really high, and I heard that this show is also quite popular in mainland China. According to With this trend, it seems that there is a market for this kind of systematic men’s and women’s team talent show in mainland China.” Xu Lai analyzed it seriously with Teacher He, and now that the camera and microphone are turned off, he has not hidden it or concealed it. Teacher Huang on the Internet, after all, Teacher Huang is still not very clear about this aspect.

If you want him to talk to you about the development trend of film and television, then he, the teacher of Beiying, can talk to you in detail, but if you want him to talk about idols and idol variety shows, then he is the two. Eyes darkened.He doesn't even know the names of the few idols he knows now.

"Idols are a big market. Didn't Xiaolu Taozi and the others come back from South Korea to develop? Now they can be regarded as the beginning of opening up the mainland idol market, and they are already making everyone jealous. You I don’t know how many “idol” actors and actresses or singers have emerged in the past year since they came back. Although they have the identity of a singer or actor, they are essentially packaging them as idols according to the company in South Korea. .” Mr. He knows a lot about the industry, and he speaks clearly.

"So they should also be regarded as idols, and they are also packaged by selling appearance and personality. Their professional ability is secondary, and now the face and good appearance are more important." Mr. He shook gently Shaking his head, as if disappointed by the appearance of these people.

Can't sing, can't dance, acting is not good enough, and there is no representative work that can be sold, just show a face and want to eat the bowl of idols... It is true that the market in mainland China is now big enough, so they only have a bowl of rice to eat , can still eat enough, so Mr. He said before that "idol" has a lot to gain.

"I also feel that so many people now want to come to idols to share a piece of the pie. Isn't it too easy for idols to eat?" Xu Lai smiled faintly, and then said, "I want to give 'idols 'Set up a threshold, and only those who get the admission ticket can come in to eat this bowl of rice, and those who don't reach the threshold can only watch outside, or they are only worthy of eating leftovers on the side."

"Xiao Xu, what you said is very domineering." Teacher Huang said suddenly. He was touched by Xu Lai's sudden "confidence" and became interested.

Of course, Mr. He is interested in what Xu Lai wants to do. They have talked about this topic before, and he said a lot to Xu, but Xu Lai didn't mention it afterwards. Xu Lai just listened to it, so he didn't say anything more. Today Xu Lai took the initiative to mention it, and then said these words again. He felt that Xu Lai must have a plan.

"Xiao Xu, do you have any plans?" Teacher He asked seriously.

"I have already bought the copyright of this idol talent show from South Korea, and then I will make the mainland version of "product 101" in the mainland." Xu Lai turned over and looked at the ceiling, his eyes were shining, and he looked at himself "I plan to work on this project together with Brother Lu and Brother Taozi. After all, the three of us can be regarded as the most famous 'idol' born and successful stars in everyone's mouth. We, as the initiators, , and then invite the trainees to come to the draft to form a men's team debut, I'm afraid it's more gimmick than the draft amateurs in mainland China?"

"Then……"

　Two in one four thousand words.
