It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 74 From Official Propaganda

After the music festival, Xu Lai was sent away by stars like a moon. Before getting on the bus, many passers-by said goodbye to him, wishing him a bright future, and even urging him to release records and hold concerts. Xu Lai couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

Then, they continued to stay in Switzerland for a day, mainly to make an end to the whole program and talk about what everyone has gained these days.

For Yin Daoxian and the others, they have fallen into a bottleneck period in music. Participating in this program is to rediscover themselves, the meaning of music to themselves, and the love and attitude they had when they first faced music.

On this topic, Yoon Do-hyun, Lee So-ra, and even Yoo Hee-yeol have talked a lot about the past and the future, as well as their changing attitude towards music, from debut to fame, and from fame to the present...

After going through these two months of journey now, basically everyone has been sublimated to a certain extent.

And Lu Hongzhe, the manager of the four of them, just went on a trip to Europe, and saw different cultures and human life. He is almost an outsider in this music journey. (Originally he used tambourines in the band, but after Xu Lai got better and better, he became marginalized and really focused on the role of manager)
When the program team handed the microphone to Xu Lai and asked the question, Xu Lai fell into silence.

For Xu Lai, these two months are not only his music journey, but also his journey to fame.When he first joined the show, he was just a nobody, but now that the filming of the show ended, he has become a well-known singer, gaining fame in Europe and America, not to mention South Korea.

Now people in South Korea who follow the entertainment industry or not follow the entertainment industry already know that there is Xu Lai, because as a newcomer and new song, he occupied the top of the UK chart for two weeks, and entered the most recognized by the South Korean people for the first time. There is an authoritative music list - B list, although the ranking is not too high, but as long as it enters, it will be a word - niubility (broken sound!).

Q: What have you gained from this two-month music journey?
Xu Lai thought about it carefully for a while, and finally answered very realistically: "I have gained fame. I was a nobody before I came. When I left, some people already knew my name. Just like yesterday's performance, some people shouted my name." Last name, I’m happy.”

"They chanted my name and praised my music, which made me feel very relieved. Everyone knew what I was like before, and no one recognized me or praised me."

"I'm glad that they enjoy my music."

"My understanding of music has gradually changed over the past few days. Really, Brother Daoxian told me before, 'Your music will make others chant your name, then your future music will be towards That's the way forward.' I feel like I'm on that path right now."

"In the past, I only made music because I was good at it, and I never thought about how far I must go with my music. But now... I don't want to disappoint those who like me because of music. I want them to Be happy and cry because of my music.”

"I hope I can get to this point."

Xu Lai said so.

This is the first time that Xu Lai answered his music so seriously. The first time may be the last time, and there may be changes in the future, but what's the problem?

Just wait and see what it will look like in the future!

……

After the filming of the show ended, Xu Lai announced the news on his Instagram and Twitter, and also liked the show team and his friends.

At this moment, Xu Lai's INS and Twitter followers have reached the forefront of the tea egg members after a period of soaring, and he has turned into a popular fried chicken in two months. Xu Lai is still not used to this state. , When he posted on INS and Twitter, he was surprised by the numerous replies and praises after a while. He was a little scared, but then he was inexplicably happy.

"Finally I don't see anyone scolding me anymore, Wuhu~" Xu Lai was a little childish when everyone was resting and no one was paying attention to him.

Of course, this does not mean that no one will scold Xu Lai. Some people will definitely scold Xu Lai if he likes it. However, Xu Lai is still a protected animal in the South Korean K-pop circle. South Korean netizens are spontaneously becoming Xu Lai’s tap water (experience card), we can’t let such an “excellent” Xu Lai be affected by those NCs. What if he can’t write good songs?
Therefore, "whether he can continue to write good songs" has become the key to whether Xu Lai can turn this experience card into a permanent buff.

Just as Xu Lai was being touted and cared about by netizens on INS and Twitter, Xu Lai, whose reputation on Youtube had dropped a little, was once again on the trending list.

After the music festival ended, many people actually uploaded Xu Lai’s performance filmed at the scene to YouTube, but the sound quality and picture quality were not good enough. Even with Xu Lai’s fame bonus, the playback volume was not high. .

But not long after, a video of Xu Lai performing a part at a music festival with ultra-clear picture quality and near-lossless sound quality was posted on Youtube, and within a short period of time, it was frantically clicked and played, and directly boarded the Youtube homepage rankings.

As long as netizens who are playing Youtube have noticed this video whose ranking is rising rapidly, many people clicked on the video out of curiosity and a little impression of Xu Lai's name, and after clicking on the video, they seemed to have discovered General New World.

The first song "Galway Girl" sung by Xu Lai is now well-known. Many people have heard it. When I heard this song again from the video, there was nothing more than saying that Xu Lai's live ability is good. Words of praise can be said.

But after they heard the second song "Viva La Vida" sung by Xu Lai, everyone's views and attitudes were completely different.

"The title of the song from Spain, the style of music from England, the story from France... This wave, this wave is a hodgepodge of the three countries, the Industrial Revolution and the Renaissance? Wow~ it's amazing!"

"I'd love to know what exactly Xu is made of...a mainlander, a South Korean idol who debuted, traveled to Ireland to write 'Galway Girl', traveled to England and France to write 'Viva La Vida', and then Spain is involved... this... May I ask if Xu wants to come to Italy for a trip?"

"The lyrics, arrangement and concept of "Viva La Vida" are all top choices. Xu can write such an excellent work at such an age. Maybe he can really become a 'King'."

"Am I the only one who finds the third song also good? He is simply a genius!"

　The variety show is over, and we are about to return to China, and all the stories will officially begin.
