Thinker in the entertainment industry

Zheng Zhiyong didn't plan to tell Simond about the cube. Although everyone is not in the same circle, they are all artists in a strict sense. It is not good to say others behind their backs. If Zheng Zhiyong thinks wrong, it will be even more embarrassing.

Therefore, Simond, who wanted to care about his younger brother, had to accept the tragic life that was ridiculed by Zheng Zhiyong again.

"If you are willing to write some hip-hop that is not so unconventional, maybe..." Simond was halfway through speaking, and suddenly found a loophole in his words, and then looked at Zheng Zhiyong's face with a half-smile, and felt a little bit frustrated, "Okay , the important thing is that I have to write more lyrics."To be an underground rapper, the most important lyrics must be original, and if they are not original, there is no way to mix them up.

Gray was already dying of laughter: "Brother, after you came here, it really became a lot more lively. Thinkers were not like this before."

"That's not it? The diss battle between him and cknut was so noisy." Simon hummed.

"That's because Brother Gray and Brother Loco are so obedient." Zheng Zhiyong changed the subject and returned to "business", "and they have been very diligent."

simond: You are endless!

While the three of them were having a good time joking around, an unexpected visitor came to aomg.

An Xiaozhen.

"I came back from the performance today and met Loco brother on the road," Ahn Hyo Jin explained the reason for his coming, "I have the idea of ​​continuing to cooperate with thinker. Loco brother said that it would be better to talk to thinker in private first, so I came here."

"You don't want your company to talk to me, do you?" Zheng Zhiyong said.

He didn't see loco when he came here today. Simond said that loco went out to perform, but he didn't expect to run into Ahn Hyojin.

But it’s not surprising, Seoul is so big, and the scope of activities of artists is even smaller. Zheng Zhiyong sometimes feels that it’s a miracle that he hasn’t been caught by old acquaintances in Gangnam all the year round. .

"I'm a little worried." In such a small company, it doesn't matter whether the people are professional or not. An Xiaozhen also has a very limited sense of belonging to the agency he later moved to, let alone trust. If you can do it yourself, it's better to do it yourself. "I'm just worried that if the negotiation is over here, the company won't be able to make it through." She and Zheng Zhiyong don't know each other well, and they intend to make friends. If the company releases Zheng Zhiyong's pigeons, it will be embarrassing for her side.

"They don't want a second 'Tears'?" Simond interjects.

Exid's "Up and Down" has become more and more popular these days, and many shops on the street have already played it as background music.The ranking on the music source list is not impressive at first, but considering that the song "Up and Down" was released for three months, the ranking dropped to less than [-] within two days at the beginning, and it has maintained a stable ranking for nearly a month. With the fact that there is an upward momentum, people can only sigh: the miracle of ""Up and Down" retrograde" is still going on.

Having said that, one of the important reasons why the sound source of "Up and Down" rises so slowly is that it is a dance song. It is obvious to all how bad the sound source of dance music was in 2014. The purchase volume of the title song sound source of countless popular groups can’t bear to look directly at it. Exid, which fans basically don’t have, has to rely more on the public who are less and less interested in dance music. Difficult.What's more, in terms of quality alone, "Up and Down" is not a good song in essence. It became popular thanks to the personal fan shoot of the member Hani who attracted thousands of homeboys to lick their screens on the Internet.

The well-known ballad "Tears", which has gained attention together with "Up and Down", has a very good sound source.When Zheng Zhiyong was working at mq, the sound source of "Tears" ended steadily and entered the stage of "singing and advancing". Just when it climbed to No.4 and was about to hit the top three, because of the turmoil of evading military service MC Dream, which has not been exposed for five years, released a regular album with a gorgeous and outrageous cooperation lineup, and slaughtered all major music charts without any activities. Looking at a row of "MC Dreams" from top to bottom— - There is a "le;& Xu Suzhi (exid)" in the middle, which is particularly conspicuous. The song "Tears" is relatively normal. Its response is not as evil as "Up and Down", and its popularity can last for a long time. Now it seems that it can't support the MC dream, but despite this, Park Jay Fan and the others helped Zheng Zhiyong After some calculation, "Tears" should be able to rank in the top [-] when the annual list of music sources comes out.

However, the prosperity of "Tears" has not brought great changes to Zheng Zhiyong's life for the time being.There are so many songs coming out every year, the success of one or two songs means nothing at all.Even in the industry, Zheng Zhiyong is an out-and-out newcomer in the field of production.Not to mention the VW side, the people behind the scene only pay any attention if they become hit-making machines like Brave Brothers.

"Of course, they are worried that exid will become the second crayonpop, a song "barbarbar", and then it will be gone." Ahn Hyojin said.

"But if you really want to use lyrical songs to improve your sound source results, you don't have to look for me." The retrograde of "Up and Down" made exid a hit, and you must be cautious in your next comeback. Exid's foundation is too weak, and the works can't keep up immediately Going back to the original form, An Xiaozhen wanted to use a low-cost ballad song that didn’t seem to be too aggressive to maintain the popularity. In Zheng Zhiyong’s opinion, it was indeed a good idea, but he had to make some things clear, ""Tears" can The red is still stained with the light of "Up and Down". When "Up and Down" didn't catch on, "Tears" also performed poorly.

An Xiaozhen has also thought about this matter: "For a song to become popular, it depends on quality, platform and luck. In terms of platform, no one is particularly famous for writing ballads. It doesn't matter which composer you choose, so the most important thing is quality. gone."

"Is that so?" Zheng Zhiyong stood up, walked to the water dispenser, fetched a glass of water for An Xiaozhen, and then sat down on the sofa, "I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult," he said.

"Have trouble again?"

Zheng Zhiyong walked along the corridor, walked to the window and stood still: "Simond, what did they say?"

"Well, I listened to what they said when I was on the phone." Jay Park's voice was still a little tired, probably because he slept too late the day before, "You won't continue to be an amateur forever."

"I don't know", Zheng Zhiyong's answer has remained unchanged for thousands of years. On the issue of music creation, his mentality has been vacillating. If he has any determination, it is "it depends." Is it troublesome?"

"I'm afraid not yet, and they don't know much," Jay Park said helplessly, "I didn't think that someone could be strong and weak at the same time, until I met Zheng Zhiyong."

Through the phone, I could imagine how unlovable Park Jay's face was, and Zheng Zhiyong couldn't help laughing: "Brother, please film the show well, isn't there always a big problem here and no small troubles? By the way, how is the filming of your show going now?"

"No matter how good the dance is, it doesn't mean that you can handle that Chinese drama. That's all I can say." When it came to this, Park Jae-bum's voice became more mournful, "Just shoot like this, I will do what the program group asks me to do."

Jay Park is not in Korea now. Although he has opened his personal label aomg, his acting contract is still with sidushq. Sidushq's management of Jay Park is not strict. It can be said that it is a free range, but it can be a free range. Sidushq occasionally—— Really occasionally, they will still assign some "tasks". This time they gave Park Jay Fan a trip to China. It is a reality show with the theme of "Chinese and Korean stars learning traditional Chinese opera together". CCTV Hosted the filming, the name is very strange, it is called "Ding Ke Long Dong Chok".Korean artists who starred together include Kim Jong Kook, Kangta Hyun, actor Jang Hyuk from the same company as Jay Park, etc.

Although everyone doesn't seem to get along well with "opera", not to mention the tattoos and nose studs, Park Jay Bum, who is less than 1.7 meters tall, is going to perform a traditional Chinese drama. This sense of violation is too strong, right? ?

Facts have proved that Jay Park is indeed living a miserable life, even if he doesn't have to sing.

Zheng Zhiyong laughed even harder, and with a smile, a thought suddenly popped up in his mind: "Brother, what do you think of me in the past?"

"what?"

"I don't have many foreign language courses at the end of the year, so I just took the opportunity to take my annual leave." Zheng Zhiyong said, "I have to go abroad for vacation alone, and there are people in the family who are worried. If there is a brother there, if you are unlucky There are people who will help you when you are in trouble.”

"Let me ask about the specific shooting schedule first." Park Jae-bum said.

Of course Zheng Zhiyong has no objection to wanting to go abroad to play, but right now this is the only thing he can do.Jay Park, who has only worked as an entertainer, is completely blind to the life of office workers.

When I was young, I thought that when I grew up, I would be much freer when I went out to play by myself. As a result, I lived a good life these years...

Zheng Zhiyong held the phone, feeling a little sad.

Forget it, let's apply for vacation first.

It is indeed difficult for an artist to have a regular vacation, but ordinary employees in the entertainment industry are another matter.The situation of the agent who is fighting on the front line is a bit special. The salaries of other behind-the-scenes personnel are not so high, and the work and rest are not guaranteed, which is too miserable.

Zheng Zhiyong's position is not important. For trainees, foreign language is a bonus item rather than a compulsory course. He is a teacher who teaches physical education at school. Although there are usually part-time translators, it's okay without him big impact.

Coupled with his "mysterious background", Zheng Zhiyong's annual leave was obtained very smoothly, just to reschedule the courses, which is different from school. Teachers who teach the "main subjects" of vocal music and dance will not be full of enthusiasm. Going all over the place to occupy the "physical education class", otherwise Zheng Zhiyong would be more relaxed.

When Long Junheng looked for it, Zheng Zhiyong was writing and drawing on the trainee's schedule: "This is..."

"Applied for annual leave, adjusting classes", Zheng Zhiyong said succinctly, "Is there something wrong?" Some time ago, Long Junheng was busy returning, and he was busy working at MQ. They didn't talk, no, they didn't meet for a while.

"Yeah," Long Junheng's eyebrows moved, "Are you free after eleven o'clock in the evening?"

Zheng Zhiyong's eyes left the screen, he turned his head and glanced at Long Junheng: "Yes, where is it?"

"How about coming to my studio?"

"Okay." Zheng Zhiyong said.

When Long Junheng finished his evening schedule and returned to the studio, Zheng Zhiyong had already taken care of the teaching matters. Apart from that, he had nothing else to do at work. Having nothing to do, he started to use his mobile phone to surf the Internet to make schedule arrangements. He only heard the sound of the door opening. Close the page: "Busy?"

"En." Long Junheng looked away from Zheng Zhiyong's phone screen, and closed the door casually.Zheng Zhiyong also put away his mobile phone and stuffed it into his pocket.

"How long have you applied for annual leave?" Long Junheng asked.

"Ten days", Zheng Zhiyong said, "I have four more days to start my vacation, and then I will go abroad." Seeing Long Junheng like this, it should be something to find him, and it is not a trivial matter. Zheng Zhiyong explained the situation clearly first, He didn't want to sacrifice his vacation if it wasn't urgent.

Yong Junhyung was silent for a moment, "I have a feeling that you have adapted to the life of an office worker," he said.

"Am I not an office worker?" Zheng Zhiyong said with a smile.

Long Junheng pulled a chair and sat down opposite Zheng Zhiyong, then lowered his head, took out the beer he just bought, and handed Zheng Zhiyong a can.

"If you really want to be an office worker, why don't you become a simultaneous interpreter, or a teacher in a cram school in a college, or teach foreign languages ​​in an entertainment planning agency, there is no future."

Zheng Zhiyong squeezed the beer in his hand, his pupils shook, and finally stopped in the center again.

"You're right." The "pop" sound of the bubbles didn't last long, but was overwhelmed by Zheng Zhiyong's voice that grabbed the attention of everyone with normal hearing all the time.
