It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 53 Recording
At the end of the last performance in Galway, Xu Lai's spirit was different from before. It was the first time he felt supported, and it was the first time that people who liked his music cheered for his music. It cheered him up and made him feel supported.

No wonder so many singers like to hold concerts. In addition to making money, maybe they also like the unanimous cheers of fans?Countless people call a person's name at the same time, and the momentum makes Xu feel excited when he thinks about it.

Anyway, if Xu Lai has a chance in the future, he definitely wants to hold a concert. Singing a song he wrote at the concert, listening to the fans chanting his name, and singing with him along with the rhythm, it will be a great feeling. Not to mention how much money he would earn from selling tickets, he felt that this imaginary scene was enough.

However, Xu Lai has only released one debut song now, and it is still early to collect the number of songs that can be used for a concert. At this moment, his second single "Galway Girl" has just begun recording.

Asking Xu Lai to record the song "Galway Girl" in Ireland is the first time that SM has paid attention to Xu Lai. The sound engineer is very competent, and the band's ability is also very good. The song "Galway Girl" has a super high degree of matching. The recording of this song went very smoothly. The sound engineer who thought it would take a long time to record it perfectly was also surprised by Xu Lai. He thought Xu Lai was rare in idol groups. vocal, and also has a strong creative ability, it would be a pity not to go solo.

This was not the first time Xu Lai heard such words, but there were not many disturbances in his heart. It was not him who had the final say whether he would go solo or not. It was still early. He had just started, and he was not in a hurry about solos. Now he just Just need to produce his songs well.

The recording was smooth and smooth, but the SM company also wanted to shoot a simple MV for Xu Lai's song "Galway Girl". The shooting of the MV delayed Xu Lai's time and made his trip to the UK a little slower.

The shooting of the MV is actually very brief. It’s just that every place name that appeared in the song was shot and then edited. The venue gradually changed with the scrolling of the lyrics, and the rest of the part was very conveniently used. BEGIN AGAIN" crew shot the scene where Xu Lai performed this song for the first time.

Who made Xu Lai's MV director the assistant director of the "BEGIN AGAIN" program?Originally, SM didn't have such high requirements on the quality of the MV, and it was quite interesting to shoot it like this, quite like Ma Laowu's "Sugar" MV, but this MV is simply a super crude version.

In fact, it is said that there is an idea for "Sugar", but the truth is that the money given by SM company is not enough, and they don't particularly want to spend a lot of money on Xu Lai. Besides, this kind of simple MV viewers will know that it was done casually. , if this song can become popular, then spend a lot of money to make up the MV again, won't it be good to get a wave of Xu Lai's future fans?

If the song doesn't catch on, wouldn't that save money?

This is a single by Xu Lai, not an album or an EP. It is completely understandable that it is simple. Anyway, this song is also a song written by Xu Lai during the filming of the show, and then... borrow the name of the show!Because of the shooting of the program, there was no way to shoot a more detailed MV. It wasn't that the company didn't want to shoot, it was because Xu Lai really didn't have time, so everyone just made do with it.

When Xu Lai's song became popular, I immediately used the money he earned to shoot an MV for him.

Simply perfect arrangement.

Exactly how much support Xu Lai can get from the company in the future probably depends on the results of this song "Galway Girl". If he can get some results on some charts, then his future development will be completely different, and SM company will also Will support him very much.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have South Korean fans, as long as you can get along well in Europe and America, you will naturally have South Korean fans at that time, maybe they will even clean up for Xu Lai by themselves, don’t talk about planetary fandom, you will be considered as the SM company family It doesn't work well with powder.

After all, for South Koreans, European and American recognition = death-free gold medal + Shangfang sword. If there is any news that the tea egg combination is not compatible, there may be more people who support Xu Lai. If Xu Lai can become popular in Europe and the United States , everything will develop in a good direction.

Xu Lai is now moving towards this direction, and he only has this way to go. If he really wants to bow his head to please those planetary fans who resist him, let alone whether he is willing or not, the fans are willing. Not necessarily willing.Every idol group is the memory of a group of people. Xu Lai's joining is equivalent to destroying the memories of the previous planetary fans. They were implicit in not throwing Xu Lai's ashes into the sea. It was just some abuse. How about Which famous entertainer has not suffered cyberbullying?
Moreover, Xu Lai is now used to being bullied by the Internet, anyway, scolding him can't make his situation worse, so that's it.

However, if Xu Lai had the opportunity to ruthlessly retaliate against those planet fans, he would definitely not let go of this opportunity, young and frivolous...he hasn't been frivolous yet.

Back to reality, Xu Lai spent two days in Ireland, and finally finished filming the scenes required for the MV. After all the announcements were left to the company to arrange, he embarked on a trip to London.

When Xu Lai was still working in Ireland, Yin Daoxian and the others had already arrived in London, and they got to know two or three blocks of London while practicing songs, and just found two or three places suitable for street performances. Their last band member has not yet followed the team, so they temporarily stopped their street performance plans and were familiar with the song list they were going to perform while waiting for Xu Lai's arrival.

In fact, the four of them can also perform. Of course, Lu Hongzhe is not very useful. He is more of an audience and introduces the identities of the three performers to passers-by. The three of them can also perform with guitars and keyboards, especially Yoon Do-hyun, he can play and sing solo, but because of the lack of Xu Lai's drums, they chose to temporarily stop performing in order to pursue better performance.

On the surface, they really wanted to play better, but in fact, they were also used to Xu Lai's drum beats.The drummer is the foundation of a band. With a good foundation, it is more secure and safer to build a house on such a foundation.

In this band, Xu Lai is the excellent drummer. He is the bottom line of the band's performance. When he is there, the brothers and sisters will feel more at ease, and they don't have to worry about the poor performance.

After Xu Lai came to London, they began to prepare for the first road show in London.

Speaking of which, when Xu Lai was working in Ireland, Yin Daoxian and the others had already gone on a pilgrimage. They spent time in Liverpool to visit the tunnel of the Beatles’ first road show, and also went to London to see the tunnel transformed by the Beatles. The famous Abbey Road Studio... In the time when Xu Lai was not there, they had already left a lot of their footprints in the UK, which Xu Lai had never experienced.

When they told Xu Lai about their experiences during the few days when he was away, they felt an inexplicable desire to show off to Xu Lai. After all, they found Xu Lai's eyes full of envy when they were talking.

Of course, these are just adjustments, the most important thing is the subsequent roadshow, everyone is practicing very seriously for the first roadshow in London.

……

When Xu Lai and his brothers and sisters were practicing in the musical instrument room, South Korea's SM Company received Xu Lai's recorded sound source from Ireland, and the first publicity exclusively for Xu Lai will begin soon.

　For the last time, we will change every day, and we will transform tomorrow!
　　Very happy today hahahaha
