Chapter 203 It's like seeing each other
Xu Lai got in touch with Bieber, and he invited him to his villa for a dinner, which Xu Ran happily accepted.
Arriving at Bieber's luxurious flat, this was the first time Xu Lai was exposed to the life of a rich man.
To be fair, even when his family was at its most affluent, they did not have a luxurious one-story villa like Bieber's residence. Most of them were introduced by others on videos. This was the first time he came into contact with it in real life.
"This is really rich..."
Xu Lai sighed like a child who had never seen the world.
"Hey! Xu!" Bieber must have taken advantage of the time and came to greet Xu Lai shortly after he got off the car. He enthusiastically came over to fist-bump and hug Xu Lai.
Xu has been accustomed to others greeting him cordially like this since he came to the United States for more than two months.
"Hello Justin."
Xu Lai also had a smile on his face.
"I've wanted to meet you for a long time, but unfortunately I never had the chance." Bieber also smiled.
"How early?"
"When "Are You With Me" was released, I was really surprised. I thought your music was very unique and wanted to communicate with you up close. Now my wish finally came true." Bieber said it right.
Reasonable and well-founded.
"it's my honour."
"Let me show you around my house!" Bieber did not keep the topic on music, but changed the subject by showing Xu Lai around the house. Anyway, we spent a lot of time communicating afterwards.
To be honest, Bieber was very interested in Xu Lai when he first arrived in Los Angeles. After all, Xu Lai's identity is so special. They both work in the same company and are similar in age.
He has always heard that Xu Lai is a very talented musician, but to be honest, he has only been impressed by a few of Xu Lai's songs before. One song is the popular "Galway Girl" and the other is "Viva La"
Vida", and after the release of "Are You With Me", his inner interest in Xu Lai evolved into a desire to communicate with him.
Like Xu Lai, he is also an electronic music enthusiast. He integrated electronic music into popular music as early as two years ago. He and Uncle She produced a song "Let me love you", which is commonly known as EDM.
When he discovered that Xu Lai also had high attainments in EDM, it was then that he really had the idea of making friends with Xu Lai. It would be great if there could be a collision of inspirations.
Bieber's temper is not as bad as the legend says. At least the first impression he left on Xu Lai was very good. Maybe some prodigal son has turned back, right? Moreover, there are still many common topics between the two, such as electronic music.
And sports and so on, it can be said that we hit it off right away.
"I just moved here at the end of last year, isn't it good?" Bieber took Xu Lai for a short tour of his luxurious flat floor. The kind words that Xu Lai often expressed were obviously very helpful to him.
He also had some sense of showing off.
"It's indeed very good. How big is this house?" Xu Lai and Bieber were sitting on the sofa in the living room, feeling the beauty of the sofa worth hundreds of thousands.
The living room is surrounded by a huge glass curtain with a large wide angle, which can provide an unobstructed view of the coastline and the blue sea. The smart facilities and high-end furniture that can be seen everywhere in the house all reflect the luxury of the house and deserve the title of a luxury house.
Moreover, the indoor space is very large, and the decoration style that adheres to the modern minimalist life makes the whole living room have a strong impact on people. Xu Lai has never seen it before, which subverts his imagination.
Just now, Bieber only took him to visit a few rooms that he often used. Xu Lai still knew very little about this mansion. Now he has a great thirst for knowledge about this.
"This house... is probably close to 9,000-10,000 square feet, I forgot the exact amount."
10,000 square feet?
Xu Lai was stunned for a moment, his mind was a little confused, and after careful calculation, it seemed to be an area of more than 900 square meters.
Housing prices in Los Angeles are not cheap at all, and this is a sea-view room, so this house is probably worth tens of millions?
"Then the price is estimated to be several million dollars, right?" Xu Lai couldn't help but clicked his tongue. He had paid more than one million dollars back to his parents before, which was already a lot, but it turned out that he bought a house with more money than he gave.
many.
It’s really the world of rich people.
"When I bought it last year, it was more than 7 million, and this year it seems to have risen to 8 million." Bieber answered him seriously, not afraid of hurting Xu Lai, "If Xu, you want to buy it, I can
Contact you."
"Forget it..." Xu Lai sighed. The price was really high. He didn't know when he would earn so much. "I feel like I have to be busy all year long to buy such a house."
It’s so tiring when you’re so busy.”
"That's not necessarily true. It's definitely enough for you to release a new album. But think about it, you just released the album three months ago. It will definitely be very tiring to make a new album."
"In addition to making albums, there are also reality shows, interviews, and all kinds of interviews. It's really tiring."
“Is it all about the music?”
"A small number of them are."
"If that's the case, for me, I think it's not worth spending my time on it."
"How to say?"
"I just feel...actually, as singers, we just need to present our own works. The necessary exposure is actually okay, but to be honest, I don't think we need to let others know us too well. Some indifferent, life-exploring interviews
In fact, the interview can be turned down." Bieber said this very lightly. He has this confidence. No matter how much he refuses the media, as long as he appears, he will still be the darling of the media and public opinion.
center of.
Xu Lai just laughed it off. He is not as open-minded as Bieber now.
"Of course, what I'm talking about is just for me. I don't think it's necessary. Looking at those albums that have so much publicity and are exposed all day long, in the end they still don't sell as many records as I do."
Xu Lai suddenly felt like Bieber was in Versailles.
"Oh Justin, let's change the topic and stop showing off to me."
"I'm not showing off, I'm just stating a fact. OK OK, let's talk about your recent plans. I like your music very much. The latest "Something Just Like This" and the previous "Are You With Me" are all mine.
My favorite type. So have you prepared any new singles recently?"
"I just finished recording a new song a few days ago."
"Is it EDM?"
"No, it's just a simple lyrical song."
"Oh?" Bieber was so impressed by Xu Lai's EDM production that he almost forgot that Xu Lai is also good at songs of other composition styles. He can be said to be almost omnipotent.
"This is given as a gift to someone else."
"I assume she's your girlfriend?"
"Yes." Xu Lai admitted frankly.
"Wow! I'm really looking forward to it when you say that, so I'm going to take the liberty..." Bieber gestured, "Can I hear it in advance?"
"Of course, no problem." Xu Lai took out his mobile phone and played the audio stored in it to Bieber.
He is not worried that Bieber will do anything vile. Although Bieber's reputation in the past two years is not very good, most of it is related to his temper and fame. He has never had any copyright disputes.
news.
"What a beautiful song!" Bieber applauded Xu Lai directly after listening to it. He was somewhat impressed by Xu Lai's creative ability.
"Thanks for the compliment."
"I feel like I can show off in the future."
"What are you showing off for?"
"I heard your work in advance. If someone asks me in the future, I can answer that I heard the song before it was released. Why? Because I have a relationship with Xu!"
