It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 58
The "Sun" is different from newspapers like "The Times". It is not a serious newspaper. It is a serious entertainment newspaper. It is also a social event that can be called absurd.

Curiosity killed the cat really makes sense. Who would have imagined that Xu Lai, a small foreign star, was originally only a little famous because of YouTube, but it turned out to be because of more than a dozen passers-by who love music and a lot of curiosity. The bursting of citizens made Xu Lai create an unprecedented grand occasion and gave Xu Lai the pomp of a superstar.

Of course, Xu Lai's performance did not disappoint the surrounding citizens, but suffered from the sudden attendance of the police, and the idle patrol became an emergency on-site management.

However, they also enjoyed a rare concert.

This is also Xu Lai's first performance with so many audiences (except for the two concerts in Heihai).

When the reporter of "The Sun" interviewed Xu Lai, of course, he knew the ins and outs of the whole matter, and asked some embarrassing questions for Xu Lai.

such as.

"As far as we know, your performance has caused street congestion, and the survey shows that nearly 70.00% of the citizens gathered around it out of curiosity..."

"..."

This can be called an excellent social "conformity" test, but Xu Lai, the protagonist, learned from the reporter's questions, which made him a little embarrassed.

To put it bluntly, when he started to perform formally, most of the audience liked his performance very much, right?
However, the subsequent interviews returned to the right track, and the reporter did not ask Xu Lai those embarrassing questions anymore. Instead, he asked about his experience and the format of the program "BEGIN AGAIN".

"We are all artists who came here to perform for the first time. Basically, no one here knows us, doesn't know our name, and has never heard our songs. When we come here, everything is like starting again. That's why the show is called "BEGIN AGAIN."

"The few of us are musicians with different styles and even a big age difference. We have our own expertise in our respective fields. We have different music styles and ideas. We came together through this program and formed this band. Our band also It's called 'BEGIN AGAIN', which means we're going to start over."

"In a place where no one knew us, no one had heard our songs, we wanted to see what our music was like outside of fame."

"What we want to show others is not our show with a halo of fame, but a return to real street performance art, using our music to attract strangers."

"The languages ​​in the world may be different, but music must be connected. Even if no one knows us, no one has heard our songs, we can use our music to let others know us."

"That's what we want to prove."

……

Xu Lai explained to the reporter their philosophy of doing this show, explaining why they came to this show and gave up their fame bonus to do some thankless things.

Of course, he answered this question from the perspective of Yoon Dohyun and the others. If he were from his perspective...he really came here to gain fame and wanted to attract those who like his music with his musical talent.

And, in order to realize his dream - to earn money to buy a house.

However, he would definitely pick nice things to say in front of reporters. They didn't know much about him anyway, and besides, he really didn't tell lies now, so he could get some connections.It's just that Yoon Do-hyun and the others have positive popularity, while he has negative popularity. The popularity of both has indeed affected their pure music.

There is nothing wrong with saying this!

Reporter: "Then Xu Lai, what do you think you are doing?"

"We gave up a lot to come here, we overcame it, we tried our best to prove our own music, and we will express ourselves with our pure music."

"Maybe, we're making history."

"Yes, we are going to create a legend." Yin Daoxian also said at this time.

He may have been stimulated by Xu Lai's words, or he was inspired by what Xu Lai said, so he said such a rather silly statement.

Just when Yin Daoxian inserted such a sentence, the photographer next to him also took a photo of Yin Daoxian at the right time.

Li Suluo and Liu Xiyeol on the side were quietly listening to Xu Lai and Yin Daoxian, two people who are good at English and good at communication, answering the reporter. One or two words, and then everyone took a group photo at the end, and nothing else.

In addition to the reporters and photographers from "The Sun", they were actually surrounded by more photographers from the program team. They took photos of Xu Lai, the five of them, and the reporters and photographers from "The Sun" from various angles. It seemed that they were eager to capture this The interview was shot more confidently and the scene was more vivid, for fear that the camera language would not be enough to let the audience feel that "The Sun" attaches great importance to Xu Lai and the others.

Harm, who made South Koreans always admire Europe and the United States, and want to be recognized by Europe and the United States?
A newspaper as big as "The Sun" is not something that their program team can casually invite. Although they do have some credit for it, Xu Lai must be credited for such a result in the end. I don't see this reporter most of the time. Are you interviewing Xu Lai?

Xu Lai's performance attracted audiences, which caused traffic jams on the streets. If there hadn't been this traffic jam, the interview with The Sun would not have happened.

After the interview, Yin Daoxian said goodbye to the reporter. As soon as the reporter left, several people came to Xu Lai, patted him on the shoulder, and praised Xu Lai with a smile.

"Xiao Lai, what you said is so good! If you ask me to speak, I might not be able to say it." Li Suluo has always been shy in front of strangers. Seeing Xu Lai's fluent answers in front of reporters, she felt very relieved. Also very happy.

"People who write well can usually speak." Yin Daoxian also smiled from the side.

"The reporter should have a lot to write when he goes back, right?" Lu Hongzhe also laughed.

“I still don’t know what the reporters will write about it when they get back!”

Xu Lai was still not too optimistic, after all, the entertainment reporter's "pen" still won't win his trust.

However, when the "Sun" came out the next day, it really surprised Xu Lai and the others. It wasn't that they were distorted in the report, but... the reporter's exaggeration was a bit too exaggerated.

"Behind the farce is a legendary journey!"

This was the title of the article in the newspaper, and the group photo of them occupied the center of the newspaper page. It was not a big place, but it was very conspicuous.

"Ah this..."

As Xu Lai, who has been covered by a big book, he looks confused. Is it because God is helping him?

　First more.
