It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 44
The street performance did not end, and the passers-by did not leave. The songs they prepared were not one or two. This street performance slowly developed into a small concert, and the passers-by gradually became fans. I will applaud their wonderful performances and immerse myself in the atmosphere of their performances.

However, no matter how long the concert is, there will be an end. The enthusiasm of the audience has ignited Yoon Do-hyun and Lee So-ra. They sang happily today, but because of time constraints, they did not prepare too many songs. Unlike Xu Lai, they It takes some practice to bring the song to the stage (although it's just a street performance, they think it's the basics of an artist to better present the performance).

The performance came to an end. Xu Lai, as the youngest loved by the big brothers and sisters, ended this commemorative first street performance by him. What he wanted to perform was a Korean song, which was also arranged for him by Yoon Do-hyun before. Homework" - "Don't You Worry".

Xu Lai sat next to Yin Daoxian, holding the guitar and playing softly. His intro did not include those roars, and his words were all ordinary.

you don't worry about anything
let's sing together
all your sad memories you
buried deep in your heart

the past is the past

What do you mean?
sing to the departed
say love never regret

……

Although the song is in Korean, most of the audience at the scene were confused, but as the song gradually deepened, the feelings were expressed in Xu Lai's singing, and everyone listened carefully to Xu Lai's performance , also deeply felt his feelings.

In this song, he not only explained how he finished his homework, but in fact... it was also sung to Lu Han.

Lu Han can't hear it now, but he will see it when the show is broadcast. It's September NO.18, and there are three days before the concert. After today, Xu Lai will board the plane to the mainland capital , Going to may be Lu Han's last concert in Chadan.

Lu Han said that he was allowed to film the show with peace of mind, but how can this make him film with peace of mind?

In fact, he was arranged not to attend this concert before. His main task now is to shoot "BEGIN AGAIN", but this time, he felt that he had to go.

Therefore, Xu Lai had a good discussion with the program team, and finally, with the help of Yin Daoxian and his group of big brothers and sisters, he got the three-day vacation given by the program team, that is to say, he will be on the second day of the concert. When I came back, I could just catch up with the last day of the show crew's stay in Ireland.

Xu Lai can accept all the arrangements, and this may also be the convenience given to Xu Lai by the program group on the basis of seeing Xu Lai's "talent" (of course, a large part of it is to give Yin Daoxian and the others face).

The performance was coming to an end, and Xu Lai's "Don't Worry" ended with a long coda, and he walked out of the artistic conception he created a moment after the music ended, and then politely turned to the audience Smile, bow and thank the audience for their praise and applause.

Then, Xu Lai, who could communicate fluently in English, began to negotiate with the surrounding audience under the instruction of Yin Daoxian.

"Thank you for your support. Today's performance is coming to an end. In the next few days, we will conduct roadshows in this city at irregular times and locations. Everyone...See you soon."

Xu Lai said this to the audience with a smile, but the audience didn't buy it after hearing what Xu Lai said was "the show is over". Few people turned around and left, and most people still surrounded them, as if they were expecting them next show.

Then, after an "encore" from someone unknown, the "encore" sounds came one after another, gradually converging into one voice, uniformly, applauding, and calling to Xu Lai and the others.

This is not the first time Xu Lai has been called "Encore", and he has not finished singing his song. Seeing the enthusiasm of the audience, he didn't feel too tired. He wanted to respond to their enthusiasm. He smiled lightly and turned his eyes Turning to Yoon Do-hyun and Lee Su-ra, who were on the side, handed over the decision-making power to them, after all, he is the youngest now.

"Alai, go on! If there is a song you want to perform... then sing it!" Yin Daoxian nodded towards Xu Lai.

"Dohyun hyung, I want to sing "Galway Girl"."

"Let me play the accompaniment for you." When Yin Daoxian heard that Xu Lai wanted to sing the new song he just wrote, his interest suddenly rose. This was the first time Xu Lai performed this new song in public. What kind of live effect will it have in Galway, its place of production?

Xu Lai made an "OK" gesture towards Yin Daoxian, then turned his head to face the audience, and said softly into the microphone: "Next I will sing another song, this song is a song I just wrote , and this is the first time it has been performed in public."

As soon as he finished saying that he was going to sing his new song, the audience on the side cheered. I don't know if it was just to cheer or because they were excited because they participated in the first live performance of Xu Lai's new song. Anyway, Xu Lai dared to join them. Singing their new song in front of him, the audience already admired him very much.

"The inspiration for this song comes from a couple I met in a bar two streets ahead. An English man and a Galway girl are married. After a lot of experience, they are finally going to the palace of marriage. This song Galway Girl comes from their story, bless them."

"That's us! That's our love story!"

It was a surprise that the couple seemed to have come to the scene. When Xu Lai revealed the source of inspiration for this song, some people in the audience exclaimed, as if they were too surprised and unexpected. They did not expect them to be in a bar. Telling their story to the singer, it turned out to be a song written by the singer.

"Thank you for your drinks. This song is for you." Xu Lai waved and greeted the couple who were yelling in the crowd. After seeing his expression and emotions, he said this passage softly.

Afterwards, Xu Lai put his hand on the other and began to pluck the strings.

She played the fiddle in an Irish band
she plays the violin in an irish band

But she fell in love with an English man
fell in love with an English man

Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
I kissed her neck and held her hand

Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"

Tell her honey I want to dance
……

As soon as the prelude sounded, some of the audience covered their mouths and exclaimed. This prelude sounded unusual. It was not the kind of lyric song that wrote a love story as they imagined. The rhythm of this song sounded very cheerful.

The couple listened very carefully, and then they found that the details of the story they told Xu Lai appeared in the song.

I met her on Grafton street right outside of the bar
I met her on Grafton Street outside the pub
She shared a cigarette with me while her brother played the guitar
She handed me a cigarette while her brother was playing the guitar
She asked me what does it mean, the Gaelic ink on your arm?
She asked me "What does the Gaelic tattoo on your arm mean?"

Said it was one of my friend's songs, do you want to drink on?
I said it was a song by my friend would you like a drink
……

This is what they were telling Xu Lai about when they first met. Everyone was laughing at that time, but Xu Lai didn't expect that Xu Lai would record the details.

And the following lyrics seem to be not what they told, but Xu Lai started guessing based on their stories.

She took Jamie as a chaser, Jack for the fun
She loves to drink Jameson and sometimes some Jack's Tennessee whiskey

She got Arthur on the table, with Johnny riding as a shotgun
Put that Arthur stout on the table with Johnny's whiskey like a shotgun

Chatted some more, one more drink at the bar
Chatting casually and drinking non-stop at the bar

Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance, you know
Then put Van Morrison on the jukebox and start dancing

……

Xu Lai on the stage sang more and more high. Before he sang this song, he also wanted to see the effect of the song and the audience's reaction. In the end, Xu Lai was overjoyed.

Just the guitar ensemble and the interludes of the keyboard are enough to amaze the audience. After listening to Xu Lai performing half of the song, the people at the scene can't deny that it is an excellent song. Besides It is still the story of a Galway girl and an English man, which is a big plus in the eyes of the Galway people who are regarded as their mother's family.

At the scene at this moment, the brisk rhythm and Xu Lai's singing voice that is biased towards Europe and the United States made most of the audience fall into the rhythm. They swayed their bodies lightly with the rhythm, and everyone seemed intoxicated and excited, but the couple But he seemed a little calmer, surprises were still written all over his face, but he didn't dance like he imagined, but solemnly picked up the camera to record for Xu Lai, it seemed that he wanted to make Xu Lai's scene last for a long time Save it.

The chorus of "Galway Girl" has a brisk rhythm and simple lyrics. When singing the last chorus, most of the audience sang along with Xu Lai's singing.

"My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl"

……

In the end, Xu Lai lightly played a chord as the end of the song. When the music ended and Xu Lai bowed towards the audience, the audience burst into cheers and applause, talking non-stop, and the people around him They chatted in whispers, talking about Xu Lai's beautiful song and live performance.

Moreover, a louder and more uniform "encore" sound broke out at the scene. If they just wanted to hear Xu Lai sing another song before, now they just want to hear Xu Lai sing him again. 's new song.

There are a lot of people who write songs now, but very few of them can be called songs, and there are even fewer excellent songs. Songs like "Galway Girl" are hard to find on the spot, not to mention that the singer of this song is still a Asians, will you fly thousands of miles away to listen to it?Most of the people present couldn't do that.

Under the kindness of the audience, Xu Lai performed again, and then forcibly ended this performance. Two consecutive high-intensity performances made Xu Lai a little tired, not to mention the elderly Yin Daoxian.

While the program group and Xu Lai were packing up their instruments, the couple who had calmly filmed the video before came to Xu Lai again, but this time they were no longer as calm as before. Their faces were full of fanaticism and excitement, as if they met their idols. Average fans.

"Hey! Your name is Xu Lai, right?" The man in the couple correctly called out Xu Lai's Chinese name. He probably recalled Xu Lai's self-introduction in the bar, "Thank you very much for introducing me I wrote a song with the story of my lover, thank you very, very much.”

"It's nothing, you all had a part in the birth of this song. If there were no stories you told me, I wouldn't have the inspiration to write this song." Xu Lai said modestly.

"It is our honor that our story can be called your inspiration." The man and the woman smiled at each other, and then they began to talk to Xu, "Actually, I am a video anchor on Youtube. There are more than 80 fans on YouTube, can I put the video I just shot on it? Please rest assured, I will not use this video for any commercial purposes, I just want to share this good song, By the way...hehe, you can show off to my fans."

The man spoke frankly, and showed Xu the video they shot just now. Xu Lai watched it carefully. The content of the video started when he introduced his new song. He has a good habit of shooting all the time, and shot the beginning of Xu Lai's song, making the whole video more complete.

“Can I post my tubing?”

"Of course!" Xu Lai nodded in response. The video anchor with 80 fans wants to promote his new song, which is what he wished for, and he will not charge any promotional fees.

Tsk, is this the joy of whoring for nothing?
"Thank you so much!" The man and the woman were very happy, shaking hands and hugging Xu Lai one by one, and took Xu Lai's first group photo at the scene.

The previous audience didn't take a photo with Xu Lai, and most of them left after listening to the song, and those who were still watching were ranked behind the couple.

Xu Lai was about to leave after taking a photo, but was stopped by the woman in the couple. She took out a notebook and pen, and wanted Xu Lai to sign them.

"Xu, sign me up!"

They knew that Xu Lai was an unknown artist, but with this song, they didn't care if he was famous or not, they just asked for an autograph and it was over.

Furthermore, they felt that an outstanding and young singer like Xu Lai would definitely not be unknown in the future, and it would definitely not be a loss to get an autograph now.

"Xu! You will definitely become a big star in the future!"

After signing, the couple congratulated Xu Lai like this.

"Really? Thanks to the auspicious words." Xu Lai smiled when he heard the words, and nodded in agreement with the two of them, "Then you must keep this signature well, it may be very valuable in the future."

"I'll frame it and put it in our bedroom."

Hahaha……

It's too exaggerated.

But Xu Lai sounded quite comfortable.
