It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 84 He's Glowing

Xu Lai wasn't too worried about the launch of the new album. The current popularity of Chadan depended on it, and the difference must not be bad. Compared with the group's new album, Xu Lai was more worried about the variety show he appeared in.

The night after the album was released, "BEGIN AGAIN" starring Xu Lai was launched on JTBC. After a month of high-profile promotion, many people in South Korea were paying attention to this new variety show along with Xu Lai and the others.

This is also the first time Xu Lai has seen a finished film of a variety show.

At the beginning of the variety show, there was a burst of warm color filters. The footage of the drone flying high in the sky showed the beautiful scenery of Ireland unreservedly in front of everyone, and subtitles began to appear on the screen.

"Seoul is at this time of night, on the other side of the world..."

……

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you try your best and you come away with nothing
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you get something other than what you need
……

On the streets where people were coming and going, the sound of the guitar and singing played by Xu Lai spread through the speakers. Pedestrians coming and going were baptized by Xu Lai's music, or stopped, listened and then left, or left. So I sat directly opposite the venue where Xu Lai and the others were performing, and listened seriously to the song "Fix You" that Xu Lai brought to them.

Then, the camera began to change, and Yoon Do-hyun and Lee Su-ra performed one after another. Yoon Do-hyun and Lee So-ra also sang an old song together. The performance slowly reached its climax. Xu Lai stood in front of the audience and sang his current song in public. The most famous new song "Galway Girl".

Although Xu Lai's new song has been repeated many times in the music player, the audience in front of the TV will not feel tired of Xu Lai's wonderful performance, but are very interested in Xu Lai's first performance of this new song. Many people even look forward to this scene the most, after all, the live video of this performance has been popular on Youtube for a long time.

Listening to music is different from watching live music videos. The South Korean audience clearly saw the foreigners around them rejoicing because of Seo Rae's music and cheering loudly because of the performances of Yoon Do-hyun and Lee So-ra. Seeing such a scene, They felt a sense of pride in their hearts, not only enjoying the musical performance, but also gaining national pride.

The segmented editing of the program group directly showed the climax of the whole program to the audience first, mobilized the audience's emotions, and then began to explain the ins and outs of the whole program.

"The street performance has to be once a day? Why? Aren't we here to have fun?"

"Even if it's a street performance, it's still a stage. As long as it's a stage, you need to practice."

"These should be the three top musicians in our country, plus a musical genius. I wonder how much their street performances will resonate with foreigners?"

"I... I'm here for the music."

Above are the interviews they had before filming. There is no interview with Lee So-ra. Hers is at the back. Only Xu Lai's interview here is the most "fake". It was obvious that he went there just to become famous, and the music was just incidental.

Then came the scene where Xu Lai and his group met formally for the first time. The first meeting was in the musical instrument room.

The five people who met were all familiar with each other. They talked about everyone's recent situation and what they had done since the last meeting. After everyone arrived, everyone began to discuss their travel life for the next month or so.

However, there is an interview with Lee Su-ra inserted before this.

Q: "What do you want to say about this journey and the musicians who accompanied you?"

"I am looking forward to this journey. I haven't done street performances for a long time. Maybe our bodies will be very tired after that, but our souls will not be tired. We will return to the original state of making music. Not bad."

"As for the people who are traveling with me, Hong Zhe is not a musician, he is a manager. Hahahaha~~ We are all old acquaintances, and there is nothing else to say. There is only one person, Xiaolai. He is a newcomer and has just debuted. , and there is only one official song that can be produced... However, I am personally very satisfied with him, he is really so talented!"

Lens transitions.

Yin Daoxian: "Xu Lai is the kind of person I dream of. He is talented and has no scruples."

……

Yoo Hee-yeol: "There is nothing to comment on. He is very powerful."

……

Lu Hongzhe: "I don't know much about music, but as a layman, I think Xiao Lai is very talented. I don't need to talk about the specifics, right?"

……

Then, the screen switches.

"Actually, it's not the first time they've met."

There was a scene of six people in the musical instrument room on the screen. In addition to the five people participating in the program, there was also a Kenzie standing beside him. The program team also gave a special sign to explain his identity and relationship with Xu Lai.

Afterwards, Xu Lai began to fill the cups.

"Xu Lai, do you have any musical instruments that you can play better?"

"Are you pointing to the clarinet and saxophone to say that you are very good at these two instruments?"

"No." I saw Xu Lai in the picture with an honest face, "I don't know how to play the flute very much, I don't know much about the saxophone, and the others... the bass is not very proficient, and the rest are pretty good."

……

As soon as this clip came out, not only the four people in the show thought that Xu Lai was bragging, but the audience in front of the TV also thought that Xu Lai was bragging to some extent. Then when Xu Lai actually filled the glasses, except for clarinet and saxophone, Xu Lai Come and show the musical instruments in the musical instrument room side by side.

Of course, there was no violin in the musical instrument room, so the program team took a clip of Xu Lai playing the violin from the stage behind where Xu Lai was performing "Viva La Vida".

As soon as the show aired, Xu Lai's name "instrumental monster" became a hot search because it was so surprising.

Back to the show, after Xu Lai finished filling the cup, the screen switched to the scene of a group of five people arriving in Ireland for the first time, checking in, playing games, and going about their daily lives.

Then, the camera followed Xu Lai and Yin Daoxian into a bar. Xu Lai was encouraged by Yin Daoxian to sing "Vincent" on stage, and then the audience caught him with an encore, and performed "Love Story" again ".

If Xu Lai's previous "Vincent" let the audience feel Xu Lai's singing skills and emotions, then "Love Story" let them see Xu Lai's ability to control the entire stage. He can sing songs with two styles that are very different. He perfectly presented his own style of performance, which has to be admirable.

Of course, what more people saw was that Xu Lai came on stage, he sang and performed, and he sang so beautifully!
And more people who understand music are admiring Xu Lai's hardware and singing skills.

Compared with this performance, the program team did not use many strong shots, but only showed the entire process. They paid more attention to the conversation between Xu Lai and the couple from England and Galway.

After all, that's the backstory for the B-chart hit "Galway Girl."

　Second more.

　　Good night everyone, I'm sorry everyone.
