It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 155 Hesitation
Of course, what Lin Yuner chatted with Xu Lai was not only about the next meeting, but more about that he should work hard in the future, and he will be in touch, but he can't meet again.

There were very few opportunities for them to meet.

It's just that Lin Yoona has a very thought-provoking saying.

"Your agent is right. These two or three months are the period when your career will rise, so work hard! Get busy with work first."

"It's just a small matter, and it's not impossible to contact."

Xu Lai is not an idiot either, he seems to have heard some hidden meanings in Lin Yuner's words.

Although you can't meet with me anymore, you can be busy with work, but you don't want to meet with others?
do you mean this?

Xu Zilai thought that he was cleverly guessing Lin Yuner's intentions, and suddenly he was surrounded by a kind of happiness called "caring".

"I will cheer for the seniors who are working hard."

So he replied.

……

The news about the meeting between Xu Lai and Lin Yuner was not exposed to the public at all, SM's tactic was very good at killing the rumors in the bud.

Xu Lai is one of the rare people who has very little gossip and breaking news. Perhaps the only gossip is the close relationship between him and Park Chanyeol in the eyes of fans. He always has some gay imaginations for no reason, but they still find it too exciting. Completely disregarding the parties' ideas.

Although they have a good relationship and act very close, they are all normal men.

Of course, fans wouldn’t listen even if they explained it. Xu Lai and Park Chanyeol didn’t pay too much attention to their remarks. After all, every idol will inevitably be knocked down by their fans, whether it’s the same sex or the opposite sex. There will be a set of CP Dafa.

And Xu Lai, who rarely gets gossip news, suddenly appeared on the gossip newspaper, which is another favorite topic of a marketing account.

"Shocked, the newly popular singer Xu Lai actually appeared on the "Sun" section..."

"The Sun" is a professional in gossiping. This is a well-known thing. The Sun is paying attention to everything from royal disputes to scandals between directors and top-notch actresses. This is also what they are most concerned about. Nowadays, whenever you mention "The Sun", you will probably think of "scandal gossip". When they saw Xu Lai appearing in the section of "The Sun", everyone thought that Xu Lai had some shocking gossip that they didn't know about and gave it to marketing. After the account contributed clicks, I discovered that the title of Xu Lai's appearance in the "Sun" section was - "Xu Lai, a new Asian force that cannot be ignored in the music industry."

This immediately disappointed everyone, and they immediately cursed the marketing account for its shameless headline-making behavior.

These are the netizens who clicked on the marketing account because they paid attention to Xu Lai’s gossip.

However, after scolding the marketing account, they began to read the Sun's report on Xu Lai seriously.

"It's a great honor to be able to meet Xu Lai again. He is as sunny and handsome as before, with a smile on his face and the appearance of a harmless young man. But who would have thought that this young man is setting off a storm?"

"Maybe just saying Xu Lai's name, or showing you his photo, you don't know who he is at all, but as long as you mention the name of a song, everyone may find: Oh! I've heard his song! "

"That's right, this song is "Galway Girl", and Xu Lai is its singer and producer."

"When you know that he is the singer-songwriter of "Galway Girl", maybe it will arouse your other memories."

"Yes, the song "Viva La Vida" was also original and sung by him."

"The two songs that are currently at the top of the UK charts are the songs created by Xu Lai during his travels in Europe and collected in his first album "Light"..."

The content after the report began to focus on the analysis of Xu Lai's album and the quotations of various music critics' comments. Among them, the evaluation of Xu Lai's album by Arthur, a well-known music critic, was also quoted.

"A super star in the music industry understands the market and depth."

It means that the songs in Xu Lai's album can get the joy of the market, and can also satisfy music critics' attention to the depth of the songs. The report also specifically mentioned Arther's high evaluation of "Viva La Vida".

The whole report made a professional analysis and evaluation of Xu Lai's new album, and invited music critics to make comments. Evaluation, and also made expectations for the music after Xu Lai.

However, there are still some worries about Xu Lai's future in the report: for example, he is too young, and the entertainment industry has too many temptations; for example, he cannot be recognized by the European and American mainstream (discussing the issue of skin color)...

These reports are small and shallow, and it is difficult to associate them with race, but this is indeed a problem.

Okay, "The Sun" officially praised Xu Lai, and then there are all kinds of rainbow farts from netizens about Xu Lai.

Netizens in the mainland are pretty good. After all, Xu Lai's popularity in the mainland is not particularly high. The three episodes of "Singer and Composer" only made him famous in a certain group, but compared to the number of people in the mainland, this group It’s a drop in the bucket, but it’s different here in South Korea. Xu Lai’s nationality is now extremely high because South Koreans admire Europe and the United States, and it’s even higher than the nationality of Chadan.

After all, everyone who knows Chadan knows Xu Lai, but those who know Xu Lai do not necessarily know Chadan.

Xu Lai was on the top trending searches in mainland China, and was soon pushed down by other news, while the trending searches in South Korea lasted for two or three days before dropping a little, but the popularity basically didn't drop much. , After the interview and album review on "Rolling Stone" are done, there will be another large-scale bombardment of rainbow farts.

The benefits brought by the "Sun" report to Xu Lai are visible to the naked eye. The rankings of the two title songs "Galway Girl" and "Viva La Vida" moved up by [-] or [-] places, climbing to about [-] places. The other English songs in the album "Light" also began to appear at the end of the B chart, but the rankings changed back and forth, everyone's attention was at the front, and few people paid attention to the latter.

The album "Light" also sold better and better because of Xu Lai's popularity. It sold [-] copies in the first week, and it exceeded [-] copies in less than half of the second week, and the speed was still increasing. It is constantly climbing, and one can imagine how fast Xu Lai’s popularity is increasing now. After all, there are slightly more people buying physical albums in Europe, America, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Mainland China is now promoting electronic albums and buying physical albums There are very few people except die-hard fans to commemorate.

At this time, Xu Lai was indeed working hard as he said to Lin Yun'er.

Now writing songs is his job, no matter how many announcements there are, SM company will notice that Xu Lai has free time to rest and create. Xu Lai is not as full of announcements as other artists in SM company, maybe this is the performance The value of the bar is not treated the same way.

However, Xu Lai still encountered a little troublesome thing.

Chadan, who just came back in December, has already started preparing for the official album of March comeback in the middle of this month. SM company is producing and collecting songs for Chadan. As one of the producers of SM company, Xu Lai is also He was also notified, but SM asked him to think about himself before talking about anything else.

He hesitates now.
