Thinker in the entertainment industry

"How do you feel?"

As soon as the show finished recording, West Exit took Zheng Zhiyong to find Zico. On the subway, he asked about the show.Zheng Zhiyong is currently in a delicate turning point, as a friend, it is necessary to care about it.

"That's it, no matter how much you think before recording, it's okay to start." Most of the recording work is done, and Lu Xingcai still needs to finish, and then post-production... After making sure that the next few days will not be in a hurry, Zheng Zhiyong He finally had some confidence in his heart, and then a sense of fatigue surged up. He lowered his head and said succinctly.

"Are you nervous?"

"Well, it's a new chapter after all," Zheng Zhiyong said, "I hope the beginning will be better."

"Relax, if the song is good enough, the platform is not good enough, and it may come out in the end, isn't that what Zico is like," Xiexit comforted, "Didn't Zico say that the song you wrote recently was good? His eyes are always feasible".Xiexit has been playing freestyle in the underground, and has never thought about developing into the mainstream, but Zico has played well in the underground, writing songs suitable for the taste of the public as a producer for his group blockb, and he has done quite successfully.

"I hope." Zheng Zhiyong said.

I went to find zico Zheng Zhiyong and ran into an acquaintance, Zhang Xiansheng from beast.Neither of them expected to run into each other here. After a moment of surprise, they greeted each other politely but slightly embarrassed. For this reason, after Zhang Xiansheng left, Zheng Zhiyong was teased by Zico: "Aren't you from the same company? ?”

"A company doesn't mean you must be familiar with it," Zheng Zhiyong said, "But why are you together? Is there any cooperation on stage at the end of the year?"

"Yes, KBS's, 'toughcookie' plus 'loyal'."

West Exit observed Zico's face: "It looks very hard." He came to a conclusion.

"The result of a Virgo meeting a Virgo." Zheng Zhiyong said with a smile.

"Actually, the intensity of the stage is not great. It's just that he raps at high speed for a long time, and he can't keep up with his breathing." Zico's strength is second to none among idolrappers, and his stage image is also very strong, but his body actually has nothing to do with "health" , had a heart operation shortly after birth, and had to carry a ventilator with him for asthma. After a high-intensity stage or a long period of rap, it was inevitable that he would become a dog. Efficient."

Zheng Zhiyong's "Are you okay?" stuck in his throat: "You're not talking about the lyrics of "toughcookie", are you? That's the solo song you just released." You wrote all the words yourself, dear!

"It's been more than a month since I posted anything." Zico knew exactly what Zheng Zhiyong was going to say. "I wrote tens of thousands of words in the lyrics. Whoever stipulates that I must remember what I wrote. Don't treat everyone as you." .

West Exit happily watched the two bicker, and interjected a little proudly: "I am freestyle." No need to memorize the lyrics, just make up everything on the spot, yay!

Zheng Zhiyong and Zico each threw a slap in the face: "Shut up."

It has come to the end of the year, and Zico is still active as an idol more often.In addition to various special stages, there are also performances by the group blockb. Blockb's "her" released this year has achieved excellent results. Naturally, singing in the ballad war is indispensable. You have to go to this one and that one, and you have to make some differences. Zico has been worrying about this a few days ago.

Xiexit felt a headache when he heard it: "Being an idol is really..." It's really tiring, especially for idols whose agency is not good enough, Xiexit is going to buy a bunch of candles for Zico.

Zheng Zhiyong had another way of thinking, "Have you tried changing the look or the accompaniment? For example, women's clothing?" He thought about it, but felt that it was not suitable, "No, it's a bit scary for you to combine women's clothing. How about wearing a wig? The same, the kind of retro... like the ear-level short hair."

"I think about it", Zico ignored the "admiration" in the eyes of the west exit. The idol's cherishing feathers is in terms of life style, and the maintenance of the external image is sometimes not as good as the underground. Things like women's clothing are almost every The only way for male idols, "thinker, you understand very well".

"Maybe I'm really more suitable to be a producer?" Zheng Zhiyong curled the corner of his mouth a little reluctantly, "Who knows?"

At this point, he finally started to talk about the business. Zico has been busy these days, and he is not very clear about what happened to Zheng Zhiyong. Now, after listening to how Zheng Zhiyong made a promise because of negligence and how he drove the ducks to the shelves to make a show for others, he He laughed unkindly: "thinker, do it well, or cknut will have something to say again."

cknut+thinker=diss battle.underground consensus.Not long after the release of Zheng Zhiyong's first song "Spring", the singer ledapple disbanded, which was also dissed by cknut.

Zheng Zhiyong had a black line on his face: "That's what you thought of?"

"This is the first thing that comes to mind," Zico said with a smile, "How did you plan?"

"Songs for idols, the response is hard to say, and the channel has not been opened", Zheng Zhiyong said, "I plan to focus on the underground first, and some things I saved before can be released."

"Finally ready to go on stage a few more times? Do you need to be forced to do it, thinker."

Xikou interjected again: "I think so too."

Familiar words made Zheng Zhiyong so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood, but facing his friends, no matter how depressed he was, he had to explain: "This is not the only reason, I wanted to speed up a bit." The dispute with Zheng Taiyong, see mq's farewell The feeling of the concert is the reason to urge Zheng Zhiyong to go faster. The last negligence is strictly the fuse.

Everyone thinks I'm a procrastinator, so sad.

Although I do procrastinate a bit...

"Knowing that one reason is not enough for you to make up your mind," Zico said.

Zheng Zhiyong: ...he gave up his defense.

There are too many uncertain factors in writing songs for idols, Zheng Zhiyong is not very sure, so he decided to focus on the underground first.Although he is not very popular in the underground, there is one advantage of underground activities. He will be recognized for his strength, and he will not be transferred by his appearance, qualifications or even demeanor.And Zheng Zhiyong's strength, at least rap strength, even cknut can't deny it with open eyes and nonsense.

The question now is which works are better to publish.

Zico's words on this kind of thing are more valuable for reference, but the west exit is not good, he and Zheng Zhiyong are completely different types of people.Xiexit seldom wrote lyrics when he wasn’t on stage, and he started compiling it as soon as he was on stage. Zheng Zhiyong was just the opposite. If he didn’t prepare in advance, he would have no idea. Before I go to him, I will type some drafts - there are only a few words that others scold him over and over again, and there are only a few countermeasures.So when Zico and Zheng Zhiyong were discussing, Xiexit was listening quietly with his chin in his hand.

"It's a good thing to have your own unique standpoint. Thinker, you often think deeply, and this advantage must be brought into play," Zico said, "But at the beginning, it's better to speak plainly. Oh no".

"Then what do you think is better to release first?" Zheng Zhiyong was also discussing seriously, "How about "me"?"

"me", an underground rap song written by Zheng Zhiyong, the central idea is: people can't blame the society for frustration.

- No matter how frustrated Zheng Zhiyong himself was, he didn't attribute his embarrassment to others, at most he blamed himself and fate.

"I think it's okay, um... yes, "Allergic Reaction"!" Zico suddenly remembered another work he heard from Zheng Zhiyong before.

"Yes, that song is very well written, and the concept is fresh." Xikou, who had been an observer for a long time, couldn't help but speak at this time. He is a freestyle player, and many of Zheng Zhiyong's works are not very good. Cold, but the quality of the songs is good enough that taste is not a big issue, which is obviously the case with "Anaphylaxis".

"That song", the corners of Zheng Zhiyong's mouth drooped, with a troubled expression on his face, "I have to wait a little longer."

"Why?" West Exit asked puzzled, "Do you need to repair it?"

Zico has always been very serious when talking about business, and rarely uttered words related to the word "meaty", but this time he unknowingly became pissy: "It's good enough, I can't think of where to fix it, you Did you think of another good word?"

"No, that's not the case," Zheng Zhiyong said with a wry smile, "other reasons."

However, Zico and Xiexit, who both have deep love for "Allergic Response", do not intend to stop there. They stare at Zheng Zhiyong with four eyes, subtext: What is the reason why you have saved it for so long and haven't posted it? ah?

"I am still uncertain about the opinions I express in the songs", what should come will always come. For Zheng Zhiyong, this feeling has become stronger and stronger recently. He hesitated for a while, and finally He said it cryptically, "Although some of what I express now may be immature or even wrong, I will not avoid it, and after I can understand it, I will admit the problems of the past, but this The content of the song, I am not confident enough, so I can't sing him out yet."

zico; & west exit: ?

"This is related to something I did wrong before," Zheng Zhiyong said, "Do you want to know?"

Zico and West Exit exchanged glances. "No need", Xixi finally said, "If you have any difficulties, please tell us about your own affairs."

"I see", Zheng Zhiyong said, "Then, let's continue."

It's not a good idea to confide the past to your friends who are not the parties involved. Zheng Zhiyong quickly came to his senses and stopped talking about "Anaphylaxis" and continued to discuss the song selection issue.Zheng Zhiyong's songs have many unique viewpoints, but very little cynical content. The three of them screened them out, using "theme" as the standard, and not many songs were eliminated—as for "quality" as the standard , which eliminates even less.

However, what Zheng Zhiyong wants to consult is not just the opinions of these "industry insiders".

"Doesn't it feel a little strange?"

"A little bit." Zheng Zhiyong said speechlessly against the howling wind.

"It's strange that you have to climb together with me." Facing the endless stairs in front of him, Zheng Wenyu opened his arms in the wind, then he stepped up two steps heavily, turned around and stretched out his hand to Zheng Zhiyong, "Come".

"I can walk by myself." Zheng Zhiyong didn't let his father pull him, and climbed up step by step by himself against the railing.

He obviously wanted to talk to his father about something serious, but he was taken to Nanshan Pagoda to climb the stairs on a winter afternoon when the sun was not out. Zheng Zhiyong expressed his powerlessness.Places like Nanshan Pagoda are famous places for dating. Is it really okay for you to bring your son over here, Dad?

Zheng Wenyu withdrew his hand without hesitation, took three steps and two steps, and walked in front of Zheng Zhiyong again, turning his head to look at his son who was going up at a constant speed: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, although I'm not used to it... I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but the physical examination says I'm recovering well."

"Scientific test results are very important, and your feelings are also very important. Everything is for insurance," Zheng Wenyu said, "When you feel that you can't do it, stop."

"I know."

The two walked up the stairs slowly, one in front of the other, and Zheng Zhiyong finally had time to talk to Zheng Wenyu: "I want to talk about life, society, and other topics through hip-hop. , but worried that something might cause trouble."

"Are you afraid of being scolded for doing hip-hop?" Zheng Wenyu laughed.

"It's not that, I've been talked about a lot in the underground now," Zheng Zhiyong corrected, "I'm worried that something will affect you."

"You think I'm incapable of teaching my son, or I'm using you to influence public opinion?" Zheng Wenyu quickly reacted.

Zheng Zhiyong nodded: "It's almost the same."

"I don't care about the former, no one in our family relies on fame for a living," Zheng Wenyu said nonchalantly, "As for the latter, Zhiyong, although you're not smart, you're not stupid enough to touch something you shouldn't, right? "

"I can't say for sure. Afterwards, let me think about why it happened. I can figure it out, but if I was in the game, I might not know what happened later."

"When you encounter such a situation, you can just come back and ask me. The rest doesn't matter. We didn't take it seriously when you said 'six relatives are not in harmony with filial piety'."

"It's not that you don't understand what that sentence means." Zheng Zhiyong said helplessly.When he performed the song "Six Relatives Are Discorded, There is Filial Piety" in the underground, he really shocked many people, was misunderstood by many people, and was ridiculed by many people, including his own father.

Although his song writing is indeed a bit misleading...

"I understand, the principle of 'filial piety' is only presented when there is no family affection. If there is affection, it will be very close if you don't mention 'filial piety'." Zheng Wenyu blinked at him, "I never treat you and Tai Yong talked about brother and brother respect".

Zheng Zhiyong was stuck in his throat and couldn't get up or down, but Zheng Wenyu laughed even more when he saw this, and reached out to pat his son's shoulder: "I don't mind you and don't be nervous, anyway, you don't mind either. Will cheat each other, right?"

That's true.

Zheng Zhiyong calmed down, and continued to climb up: "Then... there is one more thing, I want to ask your opinion."

"Just one thing? I always feel that you have a lot of questions." Zheng Wenyu said with a smile.

"It seems useless to consult you about other matters." Zheng Zhiyong remained expressionless.

"Oh, then tell me." Zheng Wenyu accelerated up a few levels again, and then turned back to wait for Zheng Zhiyong.

Zheng Zhiyong did not continue to walk up, he stopped and looked up at his father.

"I'm thinking about what I did after I left SM seven years ago."

The smile on Zheng Wenyu's face disappeared. He looked at his son and remained silent. After a pause, Zheng Zhiyong gritted his teeth and continued:

"I'm going to enter the music industry again. I haven't thought about how to face Lee Taemin."
