Chapter 176 Airborne
I've been reading books of old
I have read ancient books
The legends and the myths
Those legends and myths
Achilles and his gold
Achilles and his spoils
Hercules and his gifts
Hercules and his natural powers
Spidertrol
spiderman control
And Batman with his fists
and batman's iron fist
And clearly I don't see myself upon that list
Obviously I wasn't among them

Inside the recording studio, Xu Lai is acting as a sound engineer recording his collaboration with Coldplay.
Song title: Something Just Like This
Singer: Coldplay/Xu Lai
Lyricist: Xu Lai/Chris Martin
Composer:Xu Lai
Arranger:Xu Lai
…
The rest of the instruments are of course played by other members of Coldplay, drums, piano, etc.
The lead singer of the entire song is Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay. He is also an excellent songwriter and provided some inspiration for Xu Lai. However, the entire song was basically completed by Xu Lai alone, so the signature is Xu Lai.
It's one person, and the name Xu Lai is written on the singer's list simply because Xu Lai sang along during the climax, and the middle section of "Dududududududududu" was sung by him.
.
He didn't want to compete with Chris Martin for the lead vocal, so the negotiation process was very enjoyable. Everyone was very harmonious during the entire creation and recording process, and there were very few quarrels. Basically, Xu Lai was so talented.
The newcomer Man Man was leading the entire rhythm, and the other people at Coldplay didn't have any objections. On the contrary, they had a rigorous attitude towards Xu Lai, a newcomer with a good reputation, and wanted to see what Xu Lai could do.
The result is of course very beautiful. Everyone likes the style of Future Bass. After the drum beats and instruments were synthesized, everyone was very satisfied with the attractive rhythm. I haven’t produced the finished product yet, but I just listened to the demo of the song.
That’s how you know the quality of this piece of music.
"I feel like this song might win the Best Electronic Dance Song at the Grammys. I really like this song so much." Lead singer Chris Martin unabashedly expressed his love for "Something Just Like" to Xu Lai.
"This", he was very strict with himself during the recording process, basically not allowing any flaws. Xu Lai also lamented that he worked too hard.
But I have to say that Chris Martin is really amazing. Whether it’s singing or anything else, Xu Lai feels that he still has something to learn.
The recording of "Something Just Like This" did not take too long. It was mainly post-production. It took Xu Lai several days to complete. While they were making the song, Xu Lai's new single "Are You With Me" had already started.
publicity.
"The new single "Are You With Me" independently produced by the singer/creator of "Galway Girl" will be released soon."
Universal Company is working hard to promote Xu Lai's new single. The billboards in Times Square and various radio stations have news that Xu Lai's new song will be released soon, and the promotion on the Internet is also in full swing.
None of Universal's contracted singers in Europe and the United States released songs at this time, so Xu Lai took advantage. Basically all of Universal's promotional platforms were working for him, and he received a lot of attention for a while.
In particular, the reality show "Carpool Karaoke" was aired a few days ago. The first three episodes have received good reviews and a lot of attention. Xu Lai appeared in the trailer for the fourth episode. With the overwhelming publicity in recent times, he has been
He has been in the limelight for a long time, and many people have some impressions of him.
Wow, it turns out he is Xu Lai?
…
"OK, the production is completely over, and our work has come to an end for the time being." Xu Lai shook fists and bumped shoulders with the members of Coldplay, wishing them a complete success in their cooperation. The cooperation contract had been signed long ago, and they also
There is no contractual pressure, just music and intimacy.
After work, Xu Lai had to relocate. In two days, he had to go to Miami to perform at the electronic music festival. In addition, the new single was about to be released, and he had to cooperate with the filming of the MV for promotion. He really didn’t have much time to spend time with Chris.
·Martin and the others went to have fun, but in the end they had no choice but to reject their kindness.
Moreover, they were not very interested in Xu Lai, who liked to have fun. There were so many people in the circle who were messing around. How did Xu Lai know that they were not like this? He was such a clean and self-sufficient person, so he stayed away from nightclubs and bars.
A little bit is better.
"Did you drive here? Do you need me to take you back?" Chris Martin asked Xu Lai with a smile.
"No need, the company sent a car to pick me up."
"OK. Then I wish your new single a big hit!"
"Thanks."
After a while of polite greetings, Xu Lai was put in the car by Coldplay and others. After saying goodbye with a smile, he drove quickly on the spacious road.
…
In the early morning of March 12th, the new single "Are You With Me" was released together with the MV. Within 24 hours, the number of views on the MV on YouTube exceeded 5 million, and the radio playback volume was also increasing. By the time it was released on the B list
During the update, everyone suddenly discovered that this song, which lasted only two minutes and eighteen seconds, ranked sixth on the B chart. In just one day, it broke Xu Lai's own best result on the B chart, pushing "Galway Girl" in one fell swoop.
Down below.
"Galway Girl" gradually became unsustainable. It only stayed in the top ten for a week and then started to slide down. However, "Are You With Me" suddenly appeared in the air, and it took only one day to reach the top of "Galway Girl" for two or three months.
What it failed to do is really surprising, and this single seems to be aiming directly for the top spot.
Xu Lai was very happy when he learned about the 24-hour results. Obtaining good results shows that he is constantly being recognized, his recognition is constantly increasing, and his popularity is slowly increasing. This shows that
His price in the market is also rising. If there are commercial performances or reality shows in the future, he can earn more money.
When Universal Music saw Xu Lai's results, they were all applauded. Having invested so much publicity resources to be ranked in the top ten within 24 hours showed that their vision was correct. Xu Lai is indeed a very good person.
The type of music is also in line with the European and American markets, and it is material that can help them make a lot of money.
Of course, it's not like they haven't seen anyone with better results than Xu Lai in 24 hours. There are more than one singers in the company who can directly reach the top of the list. They just saw that Xu Lai was fulfilling his value, so they were so happy.
.
In fact, the main reason is that it was cheaper to sign Xu Lai at the beginning, and now he seems to be very enthusiastic about his work. He completed the production of two singles in less than a month after coming here. Compared with young people like Bieber and Rihanna,
Not necessarily some superstars are simply model workers.
