Thinker in the entertainment industry

As a national variety show, "Infinite Challenge" has more forms, richer meaning and heavier sense of social responsibility than other programs, but the essence of "Infinite Challenge" is still a variety show, not a documentary.The show is about how the host and the guests are familiar with each other, how to communicate, how to consider each other's characteristics, and create a song that is of high quality and can highlight the singing skills of the host's side, but it is safe to prepare a song that can be used before the invitation. At most, changing it again is the truth of the matter.

The song that Zheng Zhiyong and Zheng Junhe will use has been decided, and Zheng Junha has no objection, but before the camera, the two are still in the stage of getting in touch with each other.The situation of Quan Zhilong and the others is similar. Don't look at them in front of the camera and they are helpless against Huang Guangxi. The prototype of the song was created before the show.

The playfulness and communication in front of the camera can be said to satisfy the audience's desire to understand the birth process of the song, or it can be said to add weight to the program.The things that really matter, are determined off-camera.The most straightforward one in this regard is the group of Park Myung-soo and iu. Iu came up and said that he had prepared a ballad. Park Myung-soo’s proposal to be an edm was repeatedly rejected by iu gently and firmly, and finally iu did it. The only concession he made was to adapt the song "leon" to dance music, but the song still didn't match Park Myung-soo.

"The two of them are in a group, and the setting is that one thing will drop one thing." Kim Tae-ho commented.

IU's self-confidence and persistence are unexpected. "Leon" is not only completely at odds with Park Myung Soo's wishes, but Park Myung Soo's weight in the middle of the song is also pitifully small, which inevitably makes people feel a little uncomfortable, but when I think of Park Myung Soo and Jessica who was still in Girls' Generation six years ago For the song "Cold Noodles" that we collaborated with, Kim Tae-ho was relieved - let Park Myung-soo cooperate with a female singer with a thin voice and the effect of the song is good, the best choice is to let Park Myung-soo speak less.

"Your situation is a bit similar to theirs, but there is not such a strong conflict."

Kim Tae-ho showed Jung Jun-ha and Jung Ji-yong his pending material in his office: "The part filmed with Kwang-hee and the others can still be broadcasted, the other parts are a bit boring, it's better to come back before the hosts meet. For a while, do you have any ideas?"

Among the host team of "Infinite Challenge", Zheng Junhe's ability to lead the rhythm alone is the worst. Zheng Zhiyong is only passable in variety shows. When he meets a high-level host, he can make a bright spot from time to time. Self-reliant, that is too reluctant, and Zheng Zhiyong's status is a guest, and he is 21 years younger than Zheng Junhe, so he has lost a lot of confidence.

——Although the most suitable partner with a bullying face like Zheng Junhe is Park Myung-soo who is fierce and shivering, but Park Myung-soo's age and status sometimes touch the sensitive nerves of the public and get scolded. Zheng Zhiyong doesn't intend to Because this matter is courting death, a little "flirting" is already the limit.

"How long will it take?" Zheng Zhiyong asked.

"At least 10 minutes after the cut."

Zheng Junhe thought for a moment: "What about other groups?"

"Guangxi and his brother know, hang out together, haha ​​said to discuss songs with zion.t in the studio, hyukoh has a performance, we will go there to shoot together, whether it is in the studio or in the studio, it is also a matter of the song and the stage."

It is said that discussing matters related to songs is the mainstream of recording now, but Zheng Zhiyong is young, not to mention his seniority, and because of his response to the violent incident, some people have left an "arrogant" impression, so he needs to be more cautious. If the host No matter how heavy a spinning top is, a person like Jung Hyung-don can whip it up, and there can be sparks in the discussion process, but Jung Hyung-don is dealing with the big problem of hyukoh, Jung Joon-ha and Jung Ji-yong are forced to stay together, and the two of them Discussing the effect of the song, both Kim Tae-ho and themselves already know it very well-it is very boring, and it will become a "thinker's rap class" while talking.

The matter that requires Jin Taihao to rack his brains and think hard, Zheng Junhe and Zheng Zhiyong will definitely not be able to solve it in a short while. Added together, they presented a big problem.

"I have a proposal." In the end, Zheng Zhiyong broke the silence first, "After the theme and core part of the song are determined, other lyrics can be modified appropriately..."

"Say it straight," Kim Tae-ho said.

"Brother Junhe, do you want to give it a try and write a rap line based on your position?"

"Will it affect the effect of the song?" This is what Zheng Junha is most worried about.

"My ability to write lyrics is only average." Zheng Zhiyong said.

Kim Taeho accepted Zheng Zhiyong's suggestion, and Zheng Junhe also agreed to go back and try it out first. Only Zheng Junhe and Zheng Zhiyong's time and brainpower were consumed to write the lyrics. Compared with other solutions, the cost is very low - especially suitable for To take into account the recording of "showmethemoney", Zheng Zhiyong who often cannot leave.

If it doesn't work, the program team will leave a camera for Zheng Zhiyong, and Zheng Zhiyong and Zheng Junhe's video can also complete this task.

After dealing with the weight of "Infinite Challenge", the next thing is... "showmethemoney".

Zheng Zhiyong came out of the MBC building and ran straight to YG.Seeing the energetic Superbee and Incredivle, Zheng Zhiyong, who was drained of most of his energy due to the recording of the program and the brainstorming with Kim Taeho and Zheng Junha, suddenly felt a sense of sadness.

He didn't regret it, he chose this situation himself, he just couldn't accept that he would appear frustrated in front of these two people...

Tablo and Jinusean invited everyone to YG to announce new news.

The next round is the showdown, and the rules require one more person to be eliminated before the show. aomg and zico;&paloalto, after the diss, each team has only two players, and the producer will choose to eliminate one, and the rest will perform together with the producer.But yg and sane;&verbaljint are a little more complicated. Among the three members of each team, the producer will first choose the person who performed the best in the diss battle. This person will have the opportunity to perform alone, and the remaining two will be selected Given the same beat, a competition will be held within the team, and the producer will choose which one will advance and which one will be eliminated before the performance. The person who advances will complete the performance stage with the producer.

Compared to the previous ones, this round of elimination was decided by the producer due to an internal competition, so it seemed a bit silent. In fact, there were four people to be eliminated in this round, and the level of cruelty was not weak at all.

Tablo first announced the No.1 in the diss team, that is, the candidate who has a personal stage:

"thinker."

Zheng Zhiyong frowned, and there was a slight doubt in his eyes.

He performed steadily in the diss battle, and he did his best to increase the effect of irony, but due to his nature, he couldn't say some things that the audience liked after all.The person who contributed the most in the diss battle is still Superbee, Zheng Zhiyong cannot deny this.

"One of superbee and incredivle will perform with us." tablo continued.

After the camera of "showmethemoney" left, the expressions of the three contestants in the room were all complicated.

"We chose thinker as the first, this result seems very strange", tablo can probably understand what the three people on the opposite side are thinking, "we will compete with brandnew for the performance fee for the first round of performances, and give the stage to superbee alone, we will not rest assured".

Superbee's specialty is diss, but apart from diss, other areas are lackluster. Tablo's words sound reasonable. "And," he continued, "except that there are a lot of antis because of the beating, we have no other reason to eliminate thinker in this round, but he is not suitable for the co-op stage."

No matter how unique Zheng Zhiyong is in the underground, his rap strength is beyond doubt. He did not make any mistakes in the previous rounds of the competition, so it is unreasonable to be eliminated in this round.To put it simply, compared to procedural fairness and justice, the producers chose the most beneficial solution for the entire team.

"Thinker, the total performance fee obtained by the team is the superposition of the two stages. You need to prepare a song that is more exciting and can drive the atmosphere of the scene, and show it to us as soon as possible."

Zheng Zhiyong nodded: "I will."

Everything sounded fine and logical, but even though Zheng Zhiyong left in a fairly peaceful atmosphere, a strange feeling was still lingering in his heart.

"Knut's diss battle is better than Han Hai's."

What Incredivle said to him on the day of the diss battle suddenly rang in Zheng Zhiyong's mind.

What else did incredivle say next?Yes, superbee...

When the YG team entered four and three, Zheng Zhiyong was promoted because he was impeccable in terms of strength and topic. Superbee's promotion, in Incredivle's view, was for the diss battle, so what about Incredivle?Random choice?

Due to too many other things, Zheng Zhiyong rarely interacted with his temporary teammates, but now, he smelled something unusual.

Zheng Zhiyong stood opposite the YG building and stared blankly for a while.

There were a lot of things going on, but now he found that his team seemed to be not at peace. Zheng Zhiyong really wanted to be quiet, but unfortunately he didn't have so much time, and he had to make a quick decision if he wanted to clear his mind.

Ordinarily, what happened to incredivle and superbee has nothing to do with him, and tablo is also a senior in the same industry who can talk to each other. Zheng Zhiyong has never had expectations of him in matters related to interests.So the most important thing is whether I might be implicated. After all, it is not fair from a procedural point of view that I was rated as the best performer in the diss battle and have a separate stage.

The fair result is that Superbee has a separate stage. I won the duel with Incredivle and then cooperated with the producers. The effect of Superbee’s solo stage is pessimistic. The result of my cooperation with the producers is also pessimistic. In the end, the possibility of YG team losing is very high. And one of the superbees will be eliminated...

In other words, if the procedure is fair, Zheng Zhiyong's risk has not increased, but YG's risk has greatly increased.

Zheng Zhiyong is not the one who cannot accept the results of procedural justice, so this matter will not become Zheng Zhiyong's stain and weakness—at least Zheng Zhiyong will not feel guilty.

So far.

In the situation of being overwhelmed by himself, Zheng Zhiyong can only consider "whether this matter will cause harm to me" and "whether I have done something I shouldn't do", "whether I have become a potential beneficiary or invisibly "Being an accomplice" is something that I only think about when I have spare time.

"thinker?"

"Yes."

The disadvantage of staying around YG for too long is that it is easy to be recognized by fans.Zheng Zhiyong's popularity is hard to say, the recognition is already high enough to be recognized by taxi drivers of the [-]th generation. If you want to escape the eyes of the fans, wearing a hat is obviously not enough.

Oh, except for the prosopagnosia patient who has seen Zheng Zhiyong several times in a year and has not remembered his face.

"Can I sign?" The young girls were not proficient in Korean. Zheng Zhiyong guessed that they were overseas fans who came to Korea to play during the summer vacation. There are many performances at the student party in summer, which is a good time for the vigorous development of the cultural industry.

"Okay, do you have any paper?"

This is not the first time to sign a signature. Although it is not familiar, there is nothing to embarrass.But after signing, the other party asked tentatively: "thinker, is it true that you can speak Chinese?"

"College minor", the pronunciation of the word is correct and round escapes from his lips, "Chinese?"

In fact, he has already guessed that the Chinese are most likely to be able to speak Korean with cadence.It's just that although Zheng Zhiyong is not in a hurry to leave right now, he doesn't want to spend too much time on fans. When the other party mentions it, he doesn't avoid it, and if the other party doesn't mention it, he doesn't take the initiative to speak up.

"Wow--"

Zheng Zhiyong: ...

This is what he is afraid of!
