It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 338 Small Temperament and Unexpected Joy
Xu Lai looked at the heated scolding battle on INS and found that the battle was completely one-sided. Meghan Trainor could only hold on to the Rookie of the Year award, and was quite in a position of riding a tiger, but Xu Lai The fans who came here didn't intend to let her go just like that. Even if they wanted to increase her popularity, they still had to scold her and cause something to happen.

It was also the first time that Xu Lai did not restrain his fans and let them play freely, besides, he was also brewing here.

"Meghan Trainor will definitely take advantage of the Grammy awards to release a new album this year, right? After all, with the current Grammy effect, her single hit the top [-] on the B chart again."

"Yes, she should release a new album in May this year. There is already news." Hill was making a report next to Xu Lai conscientiously, and then made a comparison and praised Xu Lai, "But your new single " Blinding Lights" directly landed at No. 12, knocking out all the songs that took advantage of the Grammy Award to hit the charts again. Another song "Something Just Like This" also reached No. [-], ranking ahead of Meghan Trainor. Xu, you are much better than her, this is obvious to everyone."

"So, you don't need to take the Grammy award too seriously. After all, as an Asian, you have a natural disadvantage in the awards in Europe and the United States. It's normal not to win an award, but it's amazing to win an award. You Don’t think too much, in fact, making money is the most important thing now. It doesn’t matter if you don’t count the prizes. Just be strong and earn your money well.”

"Like the award-winning Meghan Trainor now, does anyone think she's better than you?"

"Although that's what she said, but what she said can't be said in vain, right? She will release a new album in May, right? Then I will release it in May too. She will release a single two weeks in advance, and I just happened to bump into her Come on, let me see what she does." Xu Lai said lightly, without any psychological pressure, but in Hill's eyes, it was the first time he saw Xu Lai have such emotions.

In the past, Xu Lai was really a good old man, he didn't have conflicts with anyone, and he didn't think about tripping others up. This time, he suddenly wanted to target Meghan Trainor, and Hill thought it was quite interesting.

But he supports Xu Lai in doing so, after all, who has no temper?It's also because Meghan Trainor just hit Xu Lai's muzzle and became the target of his first temper tantrum since he became famous. Trainor is different, Meghan Trainor is still a rookie, she just won the rookie award, while Xu Lai skipped the rookie stage and became a first-line singer.

Furthermore, Meghan Trainor's producer and company are far behind Xu Lai. Let alone the company, let's talk about the producer. Xu Lai can be regarded as the top producer in the United States. He doesn't believe that Meghan Trainor's company can give her What a well-known and powerful producer was hired to help her make an album, among other things, is she worth the price?
"You mean... the new album is ready? So soon?" Hill was really surprised by Xu Lai's preparation speed for the new album. He just produced several singles for Chadan, and here he said The new album has been selected, does this person have so many in stock?How does the head grow?

"Do you think I stayed in South Korea for nothing? I was preparing an album there. "Blinding Lights" is the single that I think is the most interesting, so I chose to release it in advance."

"As long as you are prepared, I will inform Universal Music about your plan so that they can cooperate with your work."

"OK."

"By the way, at my studio, if you meet a trainee you think is suitable, you can sign him. I'll just take a look at him then."

"Okay, I will inform Seoul."

……

Xu Lai's new album plan was put on the agenda in this way. Xu Lai was ready for the selection of songs, but he needed to find female singers to cooperate with him for some songs, so he needed to spend some time choosing singers.

However, when he announced his planned album plan to the industry, a singer came to him and brought his own work, wanting Xu to sing. This person was Boss Huang, who had just become famous at the Grammys.

Logically speaking, he is now popular, and releasing songs while he is hot is what he should do, but Xu Lai has just announced the album plan, and he came to the door with his own work, saying that he thinks Xu Lai is very popular. This song suits him, so he took the liberty to contact Hill, and then asked Xu to meet.

The song brought by Boss Huang this time is indeed very good. There is nothing wrong with the composition and melody, but it is the lyrics...

Xu Lai looked at the lyrics of the song "Shape of you" carefully, and was a little bit dumbfounded. The words were really pornographic. He didn't know if there would be censorship issues in mainland China and South Korea, but this song was excellent. Yes, he and Boss Huang worked together to perfect the arrangement and it was a masterpiece. After all, there are many "predecessors" like this song, with strong melody, brisk rhythm, catchy lyrics, and some of the lyrics "Dirty words" can be subconsciously ignored.

In the end, Xu Lai fell in love with the song "Shape of you" and reached a cooperation with Boss Huang, and the two had some sparks in the arrangement. Everyone finished the work with a smile, and then exchanged contact information with each other.

Boss Huang's "Shape of you" was a surprise for Xu Lai, but he was having trouble finding a female vocal feat for the EDM single "All Falls Down", after all, he didn't like too many female singers. He was familiar with him, but he couldn't find the feeling after listening to several people's demos. At this time, he suddenly remembered Kim Taeyeon, and quickly contacted Kim Taeyeon across the Pacific Ocean, asking her to record a demo and send it over.

……

"Yoona, your boyfriend asked me to record a demo and send it to him..." When Kim Taeyeon got the news, her first thought was joy, and her second thought was, "Did Yoona help a lot inside?" ".

"What a wonderful thing! Taeyeon O'Neil, you are still delaying here, why don't you hurry to work?"

"It's daytime in Los Angeles now, but it's midnight here. There's jet lag. I'll record the demo early tomorrow morning. I'll eat this song in the evening, so I don't waste time." Kim Taeyeon said.

"Then Taeyeon Unnie, you have to work hard! My big star is very strict!"

"I know." Kim Taeyeon smiled sensibly, and then said to Lin Yuner seriously, "But I am very grateful that he can think of me at this time. This is really a rare opportunity. I really Thank you so much Yoona, you must have made a lot of sacrifices, right?"

"What are you talking about, Sister Taeyeon? Who do you think I am? This is called mutual love!"

"Hehe~~"
