Thinker in the entertainment industry

After the creative cooperation between Zheng Zhiyong and mq ended, the 12th anniversary comeback of Beast is almost coming to an end.The sound source of the title song "30:[-]" has achieved good results, and I have not lost one trophy. After the promotion period is completely over, it is estimated that there will be six or seven trophy for one trophy. Beast, as a first-line group, returns twice a year. It would be considered an exception. Seeing the situation, it is natural to accept it as soon as it is good. It has not been announced that the promotional period is over, but the promotional itinerary has begun to decrease sharply.

Yoon Doojoon, who was finally able to stop and catch his breath, lay lazily on the sofa in Yong Junhyung’s studio and called Lee Joon. After accepting Lee Joon’s congratulations on the good results achieved by Beast’s [-]th anniversary comeback, he asked about Jung Jiyong : "Is he okay with you?"

Li Zhun on the other end of the phone had an unnatural expression. Every time he wanted to ask something from Zheng Zhiyong, he felt embarrassed every time. It was a tragedy that made people feel overwhelmed and doubted his own IQ. Fortunately, Yoon Doojoon couldn't see him through the phone. "Very good", he laughed twice, and said, "We all want to pay him a salary, but we didn't think so at first, and now I'm a layman, and I'm too embarrassed to let him do it for nothing", Li Zhun recalled Zheng Zhiyong's Asking, while considering his own words, "intro, there is another song that he completed alone, and he also participated in the other three songs. I wanted to save some money by myself, but it is better to spend money to buy things. ,no way".

"Your company must not be willing to spend money." Yin Doujun said affirmatively, the money-making nature of MQ's last album is so clear, it's no wonder that j.tune is willing to spend money on copyrights.

"Yes, I blush at the price offered," Li Zhun said, "I plan to pay for it myself."

Yoon Doo-joon almost fell off the sofa, "You pay?" He sat up and wanted to look outside to see if the sun was setting in the east tonight, but he only saw a wall, and then remembered that the studio had no windows at all. He leaned back, "Brother, am I not hallucinating?"

Li Zhun is famous in the entertainment industry not only for his "two", but also for his "cutting".Lee Joon, whose family has been in debt for a long time due to his father's investment failure, evolved the attributes of a miser very early.In daily life, he is extremely frugal. He doesn’t take public transportation if he can take it, he doesn’t go out if he can eat in the cafeteria, and he doesn’t even think about going out for shopping. Lee Joon’s friend and blue captain Jung Yong-hwa also complained on the show that he never treats guests when he goes out thing.Of course, Lee Joon is a pick, not to the extent that he can't be a human being, but he once deliberately reduced social interaction in order to save money, but it actually happened.

Now Li Zhun has almost paid off his debts and has some savings on hand, but the habits of iron roosters have been deeply rooted in his bones, and it will not be changed in a short while.At this moment, the iron rooster actually wants to take the initiative to bleed, and Yin Doujun wants to raise a loudspeaker to call everyone to watch.

Li Zhun's brain is relatively slow, but Yin Doujun is making a fuss, no matter how stupid he is, he can guess: "What's the matter? The money that should be paid still has to be paid."

"Brother is not interested in music." Li Zhun entered the entertainment industry to be an actor from the beginning. MQ is a roundabout way for him. Even when Li Zhun was a member of MQ, he could do singing, dancing and funny shows Quite competent.

"You think I'm you. After he has worked hard, it is unlikely that we will meet again. It should be compensated in terms of money." Li Zhun said angrily, "Also, your intentions are known, if you can't Let’s just say it.”

"Wait, wait!" Yin Doujun felt that his always bright head couldn't turn around at this moment, "What's wrong with me?"

Let Zheng Zhiyong cooperate with MQ, Yin Doujun has his own little thoughts.

It's not a bad intention, Yin Doujun didn't need to cheat Zheng Zhiyong, nor did he think of taking advantage of Zheng Zhiyong.He just wanted to figure something out.

It started when Zheng Zhiyong joined the company in 2013. At the beginning, artists had the same mentality as ordinary employees: Because of injuries, representatives don’t need to bow?Relationship households.

And then: It should be that the self-cultivation from a good family is really good. In terms of etiquette, let's ask for less, and the family is not in good health.

Immediately afterwards, I heard about Zheng Zhiyong's underground activities as a rapper: rappers are office workers at the same time!See you soon!Hey, do you think the company wants to sign underground rappers, like starship signed madclown?

Now a year has passed, Zheng Zhiyong is still going out early and returning late in front of his foreign language teacher, quarreling underground in his spare time, the only difference is that he started to write songs for others - until now there are only two songs that have been released. He has not gone through the company's channel yet.

What exactly is Zheng Zhiyong trying to do? Everyone in Cube is very curious about this, even in the entertainment circle full of strange flowers, an existence like Zheng Zhiyong is fresh enough - not to mention living beside him.

The idea of ​​an artist is a little different from that of an ordinary employee.

Yoon Doo-joon's musical literacy is average, and he doesn't take much part in the creation, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care about music—after all, he's a singer.Long Junhyung and Zheng Zhiyong, who started to make songs for the group and teammates very early, had a few tasteful collaborations. Zheng Zhiyong basically just offered opinions or made some small changes, but Long Junhyung could feel Zheng Zhiyong's spirit from it. At the real level, he has a high evaluation of Zheng Zhiyong.After Yin Doujun heard about it, he also paid some attention.

Yoon Doo-joon, who was too professional to understand, found and listened to all the works of Zheng Zhiyong that he could find, and even took time to sneak to the underground performance venue to see Zheng Zhiyong's appearance on stage, only felt that this person wrote The song is very nice...

That's enough.

Captain Yoon Doo-joon quickly started to make calculations. He thought that the taste was not a novelty. Even if Zheng Zhiyong's work was not popular for various reasons, it would be very good to use it as a non-main topic to gain word of mouth.The songs of the group are all made by the duo of Long Junheng and Kim Taesu. It is really tiring to ensure the quality and quantity, and Zheng Zhiyong is still so young, if he can stay in the company, maybe it will benefit the younger brothers and sisters...

Ahem, as the leader of Cube's pillar group, Yoon Doojoon sometimes has a subtle "parental awareness".

No matter how good the idea is, it is useless if Zheng Zhiyong himself is not willing.It's not that Yoon Doojoon didn't suggest it tactfully, but Zheng Zhiyong said that safety is the top priority, and he can't let Zheng Zhiyong put his work aside and spend his energy on "amateur activities" such as music.And the longer you pay attention to Jung Jiyong, the more incomprehensible things Yoon Doojoon finds.

He kept secret about his past.

Obviously, the speed of creation is not slow, but it is very low-yield.

I work underground, but I don't seem to have much enthusiasm for hip-hop.

It is said that when he was a rapper, he followed Jay Park all the time, and they had a good relationship with each other. When Jay Park set up his own music label aomg a year ago, he didn't join.

……

There are too many doubts about Zheng Zhiyong, and he is also confused about his attitude towards music. Yin Doujun couldn't make up his mind for a while.

It would be nice to know what he looks like when he is officially engaged in creation. Although he sometimes helps out in Cube, he is not really working after all, Yoon Doojoon thought.

Coincidentally, the news that MQ's management company would release their last album reached Yin Doujun's ears.

"Oh, it's over." In the quiet restaurant, Long Junheng took a sip of his Coke, "How is it?"

Long Junhyung is naturally aware of Yoon Doojoon's thoughts. After all, he is the one doing the creation, and his desire to "pull Jung Jiyong into the water" is actually stronger than Yoon Doojoon's.It's just that Long Junheng's action is not as good as his team leader. Currently, he only asks for help and finds ways to give Zheng Zhiyong some feedback - only by going back and forth can the relationship be closer.

"If you're talking about level, I'm quite satisfied over there." Yoon Doojoon who was sitting opposite him obviously lost his appetite, and he fiddled with the dishes on the plate with his chopsticks while talking.

"I think so too." Before Long Junheng could be deeply relieved by his eyesight, he found that Yin Doujun's expression was wrong, "What's wrong with you?"

"Lee Joon told me one thing", Yoon Doojoon's expression was a bit sad, "Jung Jiyong knew that I had ulterior motives to get him there."

Long Junheng frowned: "Then he..."

"I'm afraid it's not easy to speak." Yoon Doojoon stretched out his hand and rubbed between his eyebrows, "I was negligent. Zheng Zhiyong treats us as colleagues. It's not too much. He doesn't want to make a relationship difficult." Yoon Doojoon put his hand down, "If it's true It’s just ordinary colleagues, we don’t need to worry about it, but if you have other ideas, it’s not right now.”

Long Junheng nodded heavily: "Then what should we do?"

"Let's talk about it openly, and if you don't understand, just ask." Yoon Doojoon said.

Long Junheng put down his chopsticks, thought seriously for a while: "Okay, I'll go talk."

"What about me?" Yoon Doojoon asked.

"Let me be alone," Yong Junhyung said, "I'm afraid he can also guess that I am the 'behind the scenes'."

The two faced each other and sighed together.

"Do you think he thinks that we are interested in his creative ability—" Long Junheng opened his mouth hesitantly.

"if not?"

"Otherwise—because of the face and voice?" Beast was so busy, if it wasn't for a lot of intersections or coincidences, they really didn't have time to get acquainted with the staff who joined the company later.If it weren't for Zheng Zhiyong's identity and creative ability as an underground rapper that arouses curiosity... Well, Zheng Zhiyong's ridiculously handsome face and Su De's ridiculous voice are also very curious.

"Does anyone believe it?" Yin Doujun sighed again, the truth is not very pleasant to say, but that's it, I just don't know what Zheng Zhiyong will think.

23 years old, underground rapper, less than a year out of college...why do you feel so pessimistic?

"I don't know." Long Junheng also withered.I haven't seen Zheng Zhiyong angry yet, and I don't know where his bottom line is.

It's not just Yong Junhyung and Yoon Doojoon who are worrying about interpersonal problems, the somewhat elusive Jung Jiyong in their eyes is also thinking about his interpersonal problems at this time.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with Long Junheng and the others' thinking. A person would not get close to another person for no reason, there must be a reason.Either they are excellent in any aspect, or they share similar interests.Jay Park took the initiative to lend a helping hand to him four years ago, strictly speaking, it can also be attributed to the mentality of "pulling another old acquaintance out of the mud in the process of self-salvation".Because of his rapper identity and creative ability, it is better than being attracted by his face or voice, and it is also better than being attracted by "personality charm" - Zheng Zhiyong uses "workplace" in his words and deeds in Cube Model", almost never expressed his personal attitude, if this can still make people feel good, he will be very helpless.

Far away, just as Long Junheng and the others were worried about whether they would misunderstand that everything they did first was a deliberate solicitation with ulterior motives, so they were also thinking about the serious issue of whether they had ever made misleading actions.

I don't have a "we've had a great time working together" message, do I?

Zheng Zhiyong was sitting on the swivel chair, thinking about it while turning around, turning around again and again, and finally Simond who was sitting next to him couldn't stand it anymore: "Zheng Zhiyong, you came to aomg just to rotate?"

Zheng Zhiyong finally stopped: "There is not enough space for a revolution."

"There is no money to expand the venue."

"Oh." Zheng Zhiyong looked at Simond meaningfully, without saying anything.

"What do you mean?" Simon was a little scared by him.

Gray, who was squinting his eyes and thinking about the arrangement, finally moved at this moment. He turned around and told Simond the cruel truth: "Brother, what he meant was that you haven't done any serious work since you joined the company."

Zheng Zhiyong silently walked in front of Gray and clapped his hands.

simond: ...

"Well, the speed of producing works is not as fast as that of amateurs like thinker. I'm too lazy." Simond gave up. This is not an underground diss war, and he doesn't need to be stubborn.What's more, it's been almost a year since I joined aomg as the co-president, but I haven't published any works. It's quite... embarrassing to say so.

"It's because I've been more diligent during this time." Zheng Zhiyong sat back again.

Hip-hop is a very rebellious and aggressive culture. People who play hip-hop may not regard swearing and personal attacks as commonplace in life as they do on stage, and basically few of them value it. Etiquette is about politeness. When Zheng Zhiyong got along with this group of people, he cut into the life mode, very casual, so he was said to be too "carrying" and incompatible with the underground.Don't worry about what you do will be taken as an offense. Taking a step back, even if you really offend someone, it's not a big deal-you have a job, it's just so willful.

"So, hard-working thinker, what's your problem?"

Among the top leaders in aomg, Simond has the best eyesight. Jay Park was born as an idol, but he is really ordinary in the world. Gray and Loco are both self-centered, and the "old man" Simon, born in 82, has been in the industry for many years and has a wide range of friends. , and used to rely on his good looks to gain popularity on variety shows frequently. When Zheng Zhiyong wanted to create, he would usually come to aomg. On the bright side, he will also read the story behind Zheng Zhiyong's face with no thoughts or thoughts.

"Me?" Zheng Zhiyong looked up at the sky, "I was wondering if I could exchange my diligence with you."
