Chapter 242: This ridiculous line (please give me monthly votes and recommendation votes!)
After complaining for a while, they started chatting.
"X-STAR has never been together since their one joint appearance a few months ago. Although we are signed to Star Entertainment, in reality, the people over there only want to extract profits from us and don't care about our long-term development at all. Of course, their two biological sons are exceptions."
This is also the fate that temporary groups that debut from talent shows cannot escape. Several management companies use their own resources to put together an idol group, which is then promoted for two years. During these two years, they naturally try to make as much money as possible while the group is still popular.
By the time the group disbands, or even without disbanding, when its popularity declines in the second year, the money has been almost earned. At this time, new talent shows come out and new groups are waiting to debut, and the cycle begins again.
"The people at Starry Sky are already seeking transformation for Li Yingqi and his team."
Li Xiaodong is still well-informed. "But I think it's difficult."
If Li Yingqi, the guy whose brain was caught by the door, could successfully transform himself, Li Xiaodong felt that he could too!
Lin Fan asked: "What about you? Didn't your original agency help you seek transformation?"
“Yes, there are, but it’s not that easy.”
Lu Bingyang smiled bitterly, "For idols who come from talent shows, there aren't many options available to us except to stick with one path and develop directly into the top stars. Transforming into an actor, or a singer, or even further becoming a songwriter, is not easy."
To become a top star, you need continuous popularity and resources. However, the popularity of idols in talent shows is both mysterious and realistic. If they are popular, they are popular. If they are not popular, they are not popular.
Actors need professional skills, and so do singers. They also need good works. As for singer-songwriters, Lu Bingyang and Li Xiaodong have never thought about it. If you don’t have the ability, don’t pretend to be one, otherwise everyone will be embarrassed when their true colors are revealed.
In fact, transforming into professional singers is the closest way out for them. Unfortunately, good works are not something that can be produced easily.
Lu Bingyang complained: "The agency gave me a script, and I played the third male lead in the play. Oh my god, that line, I feel embarrassed when I think about it!"
Lin Fanlai became interested: "What drama? When will it be online? I will definitely support you then!"
Lu Bingyang waved his hands repeatedly: "No, don't look at it!"
"What else could it be? Of course it's a melodramatic idol drama!" Lai Siu-tung complained, "I visited Brother Lu on set. When I think about the filming scene now, I get goose bumps all over my body."
As he spoke, Lai Xiaodong used an empty can as a microphone and recited the lines affectionately: "I love you. I don't care who is in your heart, and I don't care whose child is in your belly. I only know that I love you!"
"Fuck! Li Xiaodong!"
Lu Bingyang covered Li Xiaodong's mouth with his hand, "How come you memorized all the lines!"
Lin Fan got goosebumps all over his body and moved himself a little further away from Lu Bingyang, then silently swallowed back the words he had just said to support him.
This isn't me going back on my word, it's just that the bloody lines are too damn unbearable! "You've already finished your performance, and it will be broadcast later, and more people will see it!" Li Xiaodong broke free from Lu Bingyang's hand, "You can't even stand what I'm saying now, will you collapse if you're scolded by netizens later?"
That makes a lot of sense!
Lu Bingyang was powerless to refute, so he could only turn his grief and anger into appetite and started eating a plate of braised pork.
"By the way, Brother Fan, in the program you participated in, did all the guests write their own songs?" Li Xiaodong turned his attention to Lin Fan, "Are those singer-songwriters as good as the legends say?"
Legend... What kind of crappy adjective is this? Lin Fan complained in his heart, but what he said was very pertinent: "From what I have seen so far, it is indeed true. At least the songs used in the competition are all composed by them. As for whether it is as good as people say, the rumors may be exaggerated, but the strength is still there."
Especially Liu Zhengyan and Hui Qiaodan, well, we have to add Jiang Yuhe, the creative level of these three people is not much different from that of professional composers.
Li Xiaodong's eyes were full of envy: "People with strength are amazing! Brother Fan, you are also the best in my heart!"
It’s not me who is awesome, it’s the entire earth behind me!
Lin Fan was curious: "Why, do you want to invite them to sing a song?"
Lai Siu-tung shook his head: "It's difficult. Singer-songwriters rarely write songs for others because they also need to release their own works. And when they write songs for others, they don't want money, but resources."
If I have good resources, I can use them myself. Why would I bother exchanging a song with others? Therefore, when most singers invite songs, they look for professional composers instead of singer-songwriters.
However, it is too difficult to invite well-known composers to write songs, and there is no guarantee that the songs of ordinary composers will become popular. For idols like Lai Xiaodong who are seeking transformation, the first song must be popular, otherwise it is better not to use the banner of transformation. But this way, it will be meaningless.
"So, Brother Fan, if you have any extra songs that you don't want to sing yourself, don't forget us!" Li Xiaodong half-jokingly said, "Brother Fan, if one or two songs slip out of your fingers, maybe they will change the fate of Brother Lu and me!"
"It's not that exaggerated!"
"Brother Fan, you are a full man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man. You don't know the suffering of idols like us who don't have our own works!" Li Xiaodong only said one sentence and didn't continue on this topic. "By the way, Brother Fan, your B&B really only accommodates single ladies?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"yes!"
"Then we came all the way here to see you, but we don't even have a place to stay?"
Lin Fan was stunned: "You guys come to record the show, don't the production team provide you with food and accommodation?"
Li Xiaodong was furious: "The production team is the production team, you are you, you run a B&B here, how can you not entertain your friends when they come over?"
Lin Fan had indeed not thought about this problem. Now, in the courtyard he longed for, except for the exclusive room reserved for Xia Yan, all other rooms were fully booked. And this state would continue for several months, because the reservations were also full.
Lin Fan had very few friends in his two lives, and the concept of entertaining friends was completely out of his mind. Now, after hearing what Li Xiaodong said, he suddenly realized that as he lived here for a longer time, he would get to know more and more people and make more friends.
Friends have come from far away to get together with me, so I should really reserve a few rooms for them.
But now, Lin Fan was helpless: "You came at an unlucky time, the place is full. Next time, I will make arrangements for you in advance when you come again!"
"Brother Fan, you are too perfunctory! No, you must punish one!"
"Punish one!"
“Okay, okay, okay!”
