Korean Entertainment's Survival War

People are in different situations, and in the absence of major differences in nature, different views on the same thing are likely to arise.Regarding how to deal with the behind-the-scenes transactions of "produce101", the inclinations of those who have debuted and those who have not debuted are obviously different.Even capital that simply pursues profits will choose different solutions depending on where the interests lie.It is also under CJ, what the program team of "produce101" has done under the direction of a higher level has been clear to everyone over the years. Recently, with Ahn Joon Young's confession, the iron case has finally been made. CJ's entertainment department CJE&M is involved in this matter. The macro strategy on the Internet is not difficult to see. After the final night of the fourth season, they made two-handed preparations, posing as a stance of actively applying for police investigation, and let X1 debut without signing a contract. When CJ is able to settle the situation with the police and the prosecution, he writes a big-character poster that reads "I take the initiative to apply for an investigation and I am not afraid of my shadow being tilted". The so-called "victims" who make waves for the sake of performance, as for the latter, are ready to abandon An Junying and let him take the blame. When necessary, will they protect X1 for the so-called faith?They don't lose that reputation.

Also considering their own interests, the logic of swing is "I can make a lot of money with X1", and they will temporarily put aside what they say during CJ's internal meetings. What swing will do in action is to suspend activities at X1, and the final result will be When it was hard to say how, Swing arranged the filming schedule and song recording for X1, and also asked Xu Minghe, "Do you have any self-composed songs for the group?".

"This is to prepare for the resumption of activities..." After Xu Minghe made this judgment, he gave a pause full of complicated emotions, "It would be great if swing was really that powerful, ah, what am I thinking, after all Subsidiaries."

"You seem a little courageous recently?" Cao Chengyan said, "Wouldn't it be better for you to say a few words less when you go to shoot?"

Xu Minghe smiled embarrassingly: "I've been in the dormitory for a long time." Let go of this kind of thing, it affects each other, Xu Minghe first gave a promise whose effect was comparable to thunder, and then everyone—especially those with less experience The minors also became more honest in front of Xu Minghe. At this time, it is not appropriate for Xu Minghe to hide any more. In the days when there is no schedule, he gets used to it. The relationship between him and the members has become much closer. Prudence in words and deeds also lost a lot. "I remember, speak carefully, or Brother Shengyu will have a headache again."

During previous events, Han Shengyu was interviewed on the show and always said that Cao Seung-yeon gave him a headache, but Cao Seung-yeon was only very lively when he was lively. Everyone knows that his emotional intelligence is actually very high. Han Shengyu’s words are just providing a kind of material for fans to hit the team internal relationship.Han Shengyu never mentioned Minghe's worries about Xu Minghe, who used to be a serious band man and can make great things no matter how you look at it, because it was a real worry.

"That's right, he doesn't care about you right now," Cao Chengyan reached out and hooked Xu Minghe's shoulder, "If you make a mistake, I will fix you, don't give me a chance to 'collapse', Minghe."

"Okay," Xu Minghe agreed, "but why... have I become difficult to control again?" He was on the show to create a sharp and focused image in order to stand out, and later on when he was an idol, he kept himself safe.What I said in the car before going to Thailand is a bit out of line, but that should be considered a special case?

"It's not you, it's him," Cao Chengyan lowered his voice, and said, "You know, some companies don't want their own people to go to X1."

Xu Minghe understood.

Regarding the matter of trainees entering X1, brokerage companies also have different opinions due to their own circumstances. If you don’t want to promote a group and have no way to start individual activities, it is naturally better to receive stable dividends. For those who already have a set of regulations for operation They are more inclined to keep people in their own hands, among which starship and plana are the most.Now that the future of X1 is uncertain, the agencies have different ideas. Song Hyung Joon is only a trainee in the starship. He shows a deeper attachment to X1 than the new starship group that has no shadow. Others can’t fault it. Han Shengyu’s The situation is much more complicated.

In the end Xu Minghe quietly finished his work in front of the camera.When members talk to him, he uses smiles, facial expressions and gestures to solve problems.As a result, after returning home, his manager took him to a "heart-to-heart talk": "I heard at the shooting scene that you have become very prestigious?"

Xu Minghe was puzzled: "Why do you say that?"

Manager: "You don't speak much when other members talk to you, and the others listen to you very much."

Xu Minghe: ... "I think I have to be careful about what I say for a while, and my teammates understand me."

The manager was as speechless as Xu Minghe: "Okay, I can rest assured that you two are in a good relationship. You can speak at ease during the recording, Producer Xu."

There is still a video camera when recording, but it is used inside the swing to shoot sideshows and collect material. Xu Minghe doesn't have to be on guard, and he can relax a little when he speaks.Not speaking is not enough, Xu Minghe's song was accepted by swing, as a song included in a future X1 comeback or a special song released at a special moment—if there is a future.

Xu Minghe, who is used to writing songs for bands, turned to writing for idol groups. Considering the theme and expression, there are two remaining songs. The quality of the songs is excellent, and the shortcomings of each are obvious.When I first wrote it, Cha Junhao thought of Moonlight's "The Same Night, Different Feelings" as a medium-tempo lyrical song. In the next three months, Xu Minghe thought of going crazy and invited Cao Chengyan to go crazy together , did not think of a way to add rap without reducing the quality of the song.The rap content of the other song "runaway" is enough for X1 rappers, but the lyrical part of Xu Minghe paired with the ballad is a bit too strong. It has a taste of the vicissitudes of ten years ago. Jin Yushuo complained about the lyrics: "You Is there an uncle living in your heart Ming He, it sounds like you have seen more things than us."

I admit that your life experience is very rich, but I may have experienced more than you.And although the people who run the band have a heart to ride the wind and waves at the age of 50 or [-], they will definitely not feel ashamed of writing new words like real young people when it is time for vicissitudes.

So what is my mental age after all that has happened?

Xu Minghe temporarily refuses to think about this question, his most important question is whether the young rap leaders of X1 can digest his vicissitudes of rap.

"It's cold and windy, and it's getting colder in winter. Dress warmly before going out, and be careful of catching a cold."

"Daoxian..."

Xu Minghe's words have been complained by X1's adult line that it is only appropriate to be 30 years old. It is a conspicuous violation to let Nam Do-hyun, who is half the age of 30, handle it.It doesn't sound sincere at all. It can't be said that Nan Daoxian will be perfunctory on this issue, but... but...

"When I was recording the demo, I might rely on how old I was, and there was a kind of advice from the elders to the younger generation. It is not the party with more experience, but you can also have your own thinking and attitude. Forget about the way I express, use yours Try again from the perspective."

Well, that's fine. The vicissitudes of the words don't mean that there should be an element of teaching in the caring. As long as there is caring, the younger generation can't comfort the elders.

After Nam Do-hyun passed this test, the other young rap leaders gradually became smoother in "how to use their own perspective to interpret some vicissitudes of the lyrics".

"Because you are a fool who pretends not to be in pain. I don't know how tired you are."

"I will suffer even more because of your pain, don't leave alone, come with me."

"Crying in this shameful world, what has become of me who should be by your side?"

"Even if sadness strikes you, you pretend not to feel it. Why do you walk alone in this miserable world?"

……

Even Cao Chengyan, who was sitting on the sofa waiting, was eager for a moment: "I can answer the question called 'you' with my eyes closed. On the hard road, I will also pass through the cliff."

"Very good," Xu Minghe said. Although his voice was naturally high-pitched, with the blessing of understanding and experience, he didn't lose the gloomy and frustrating atmosphere required by the song. "It's a pity that the part I chose for my brother is vocal."

Cao Chengyan naturally switched to the vocal mode:

"The pain is only temporary. After resting, start again. Don't stop even if it's a little late."

Then there is the part that Xu Minghe arranged for himself:

"At that time that was close and far away, at that time, the people I met when I was walking in my memory."

The cold winter wind is blowing over the head, and when the cold wind is approaching, the thin clothes can only resist it, and the little warmth that is trying to pass under it seems so insignificant and precious.

There was a brief silence in the recording room, and then Li Hanjie continued in a deep voice: "You still don't smile today, I heard the sound of you gradually leaving me."

"Recording." Xu Minghe said with his head down.

"The pain is only temporary. After resting, start again. Don't stop even if it's a little late."

"At that time that was close and far away, at that time, the people I met when I was walking in my memory."

Runaway, run away, in this severe winter, "I" and "you" are suffering, the source is "I", and "you" is suffering with "me", I don't want to face it alone, and I don't want to It hurts so much to implicate the one you love, a person should...should be able to endure it, so run away.

Xu Minghe closed his eyes, put his hand on the earphone, and listened to Han Shengyu's voice:

"Take me as if touching your heart, hold me tight, and you won't forget until the day you close your eyes."

And the last sentence was handed over to Jin Yushuo, who was originally developing in the direction of leading vocals:

"At that time that was close and far away, at that time, the people I met when I was walking in my memory."

"Well done," he took off his earphones, stood up and applauded, then bent down again, "Thanks for your hard work."

"Your song is also very well written." Jin Yushuo turned his back to the camera, and he didn't get too rigid about his expression management. As soon as Xu Minghe looked up, he saw his heavy complexion and eyes.

Xu Minghe wrote the song very vicissitudes of life, without the enthusiasm that he should have at his age.In this situation, no one who analyzes the heart can get excited.The adversity they face is not a natural disaster or a man-made disaster caused by a villain who looks bad to everyone, but the entanglement of the profit-seeking nature of capital and the various desires of the human heart. No matter what the result is, it cannot be said to be completely just. .They can only bear the guilt that is too heavy compared to their abilities, endure it, and hope that the operators behind the scenes can give them a better result.

Pain is only temporary, rest well and start again, don't stop even if it's a little late.It was already the most powerful encouragement that Xu Minghe could think of.

The author has something to say: Swing did a little recording and filming in the past two months when there were no activities, so there is no doubt that Swing wants to keep the X1.

This chapter was quite difficult to write, mainly because I didn't know what song to use, and Zong Xin didn't want to write the lyrics by himself.The last song I used was "Let's Run" by MC Meng (featLyn), which was slightly changed.
