It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 175
Hill brought Xu Lai to the headquarters building of Universal Music, just like the experience Lin Yuner gave Xu Lai back then, Xu Lai was led by Hill to appreciate the history of Universal Music, and looked at the photos left by the celebrities The wall and the specific structure of the building were also introduced to Xu Lai, especially the recording studio. Hill took Xu Lai to identify the door.

However, Xu Lai is still different from Lin Yuner. Although Xu Lai has not met any famous artists (if there is nothing high-end, they will not appear in the scope of the company), but he has met The executive of Universal Music, an Asian uncle in his 40s, was very enthusiastic towards Xu Lai, and asked Hill to treat Xu Lai well.

Hill indeed did the same thing. After the company took Xu Lai around and met the people he should meet, he said that he would take Xu Lai to enjoy the customs of California. Of course, it was not the sunny beach bikini that everyone thought. , Universal Music is headquartered in Los Angeles, so knowledge is also a feature of Los Angeles, such as Hollywood, such as the Walk of Fame.

Speaking of which, if Xu Lai's life has been moving forward smoothly, maybe he has already been to this place, but because of the bumps in life, this is the first time Xu Lai has come to Hollywood, and it is also Watching the Avenue of Stars for the first time.

The handprints left by various celebrities had to be introduced by Hill to introduce their lives. Xu Lai really knew very little about these celebrities. Of course, he recognized them immediately when he met Jackie Chan.

In Los Angeles, it is different from Xu Lai in South Korea and mainland China. He just walks on the street swaggeringly, just like before his debut. Basically, no one pays special attention to him. His ordinary attire makes people think he is He is a tourist who has found a tour guide, and will not associate him with a singer, and this indeed illustrates what Hill said before.

"Xu, your songs are quite famous, but you don't have much exposure in the United States."

Therefore, no one recognized him when he was on the street.But he felt that this was not bad. It was a rare sense of relaxation. He didn't have to worry too much about his every move, and he seemed much more relaxed.

Later, following the guidance of Hill, Xu Lai and his assistant came to Chinatown in Los Angeles. Perhaps Hill considered Xu Lai's identity as a mainlander and specially led Xu Lai here, hoping to give Xu Lai a sense of belonging.

This was Xu Lai's first time in Chinatown. He didn't feel a sense of belonging at all, but it felt quite fresh. There were indeed many people here speaking Mandarin, but it didn't give Xu Lai much sense of belonging.

When he was still planning to attend an international school step by step and prepare to study abroad, he had a special understanding of the situation of mainlanders in various countries. Of course, he also knew about Chinatown in the United States. He also heard about Chinatown in Los Angeles.

In Chinatowns in other places, Xu Lai, a native of Sichuan Province, might be really annoyed to visit, but the Chinatowns in Los Angeles are mostly northerners, so most of them speak Mandarin.

However, don't think that speaking Mandarin will make you feel friendly. In fact, many people here are "drinking the blood of mainlanders under the banner of mainlanders" and "judging people by their appearance is a wrong approach" in this kind of situation This is clearly reflected in the incident, and many posts and news have exposed similar things. The "City of Angels" is not as beautiful as imagined.

In particular, there is a very fluent view for most of the continental young people in the United States-free America, gun battles every day.

To be honest, Xu Lai was still a little worried in his heart, and hoped that he would not encounter such unlucky things.

However, excluding the "darkness" that Xu Lai had seen on the Internet, the City of Angels is really like the City of Angels, and the highly developed economy and entertainment will provide Xu Lai with many opportunities.

Xu Lai declined Hill's invitation to have a meal in Chinatown. He had eaten a lot of Chinese food in China, and he wanted to try other cuisines here, so they just went shopping in Chinatown. Hill nodded, no Any impatience, chat with Xu Lai as usual.

Just as they were walking and chatting on the streets of China, Xu Lai's single "Galway Girl" came out on the radio of the store on the street. Hill suddenly looked at Xu Lai and laughed, and the group of three suddenly stood on the street. .

"Xu, how do you feel now? I heard your own song on the radio." Hill asked Xu with a smile.

Many singers get excited when they hear their own songs on the radio. Some cry with joy, some suddenly change their mood, and some even do a [-]-meter dash in excitement. On the surface, it looks funny, but if you think about it carefully, , In fact, it contains a lot of content, such as the hardships before becoming famous.

"Me? I'm very happy." Xu Lai grinned, not hiding his happiness at the moment, "I feel a sense of being recognized, which makes me happy."

"This can be considered a feeling, but it is a little different than I imagined. I thought you would laugh the last time."

"It's not that far, is it?"

"No, no, no, I've seen many people run wild, cry, and even kneel down suddenly because of this, but it seems that this matter is not a big deal to you." Hill smiled slightly.

"I'm really happy that they like my songs, but I think this is natural, right? My songs are not bad at writing, and I sing well, so why don't they like them?"

"Hey! Xu, I like your sly tone. That's it. Those who don't like your songs probably have hearing problems. You just have to be so confident."

"It's been a while since I have ear problems. Anyway, I don't have any problems with my songs. If I don't like them, I can only say that the taste is different, but it's only natural to like them."

"Speaking like this can only sound better, but Xu, I still like you to be more confident and proud. You are only 20 years old this year, and you have a bright future. This is something you should be proud of."

"Hill, then it's about tradition."

"OKOK!" Hill spread out his hands, not wanting to discuss the topic of "tradition" with Xu Lai. If this "tradition" is discussed in depth, it may lead to some not-so-good topics.

"It's lunch time next. After lunch, do you want to go to the west coast? There is the most beautiful scenery in the world." Hill suggested to Xu Lai, with a tone and expression basically common to men.

The west coast of Los Angeles is very famous. Even though it is winter now, the average temperature in Los Angeles is [-] degrees Celsius, so people often enjoy sunbathing on the beaches of the west coast, and of course they don’t wear bikinis of various colors.

"Let's go eat first." Xu Lai slightly raised his eyebrows.

　First more.
