Thinker in the entertainment industry

The song Zheng Zhiyong brought to iu this time is called "Unwilling".

The original inspiration for this song came from the conversation he had with Lee Taemin after he appeared on the stage as a feat for Jang Hyun Seung and participated in the audition for "ShowMetheMoney". Even if I can't sort it out clearly, it is natural to get twice the result with half the effort when creating it. Therefore, "Unwillingness" has become a rare existence among Zheng Zhiyong's works that did not have a general framework when he created it for the first time.

With the passage of time and the change of personal situation, Zheng Zhiyong's feelings are also changing. In the off-site recording of the semi-finals of "showmethemoney", Li Taemin provided the video as he said before, and strongly praised Zheng Zhiyong. Yong's dance ability when he was a trainee in SM.At that time, Lee Taemin did not ask how Jung Jiyong felt when he had experienced two big twists and turns in one month, and Jung Jiyong did not understand how much resistance Lee Taemin had to overcome to do these things. Under the circumstances, a tacit agreement was reached.After the dust settled, there was only a brief phone call between them.

Zheng Zhiyong has figured out some things, and Li Taemin will help him solve his troubles where he can. If Li Taemin has difficulties and Zheng Zhiyong needs to help, Zheng Zhiyong will not refuse.However, although there is no resentment between them, they are both responsible for each other's painful experiences. This is an irrefutable fact, and it is reasonable to be unable to confide in them.

Even if there is no such reason, one is an idol who made his debut at a young age and still looks like a "brother" after seven years, and the other is a rapper who only became famous at the age of 24 and had two fights with a famous Korean netizen who is not easy to get along with, Not to mention that their routes are diametrically opposed, there are already serious divergences, and it is already obvious that it is difficult to have any intersection.Not to mention anything else, after he left Cube, most of the people who used to greet him and even joke with him every day have lost contact with him now.

Therefore, putting Li Taemin in a difficult situation when he left has always been Zheng Zhiyong's deepest unwillingness.

Out of this kind of thinking, Zheng Zhiyong finally completed the song "Unwilling".

The force majeure of fate is certainly sad, but I am even more concerned because I can do better.

iu's reaction is intriguing.

After listening to Zheng Zhiyong's demo, her pupils trembled, and the expression on her face was cloudy, then she took a deep look at Zheng Zhiyong, which sent a chill down Zheng Zhiyong's back.

Facing the obvious malice, Zheng Zhiyong was calm and calm. Those who showed hostility blatantly had the psychology of Zheng Zhiyong's contempt or even contempt, unless the number of people reached a certain level and made him doubt "Why should I?" Became an absolute minority again?" Zheng Zhiyong will not easily mess himself up.The unknown is different, he doesn't know what made iu like this.Of course he knew that iu had reservations in front of him, what Zheng Zhiyong cared about was the reason for iu's failure.

"You remind me of some things from the past", iu gave the answer, "our thoughts are different".

Zheng Zhiyong stretched out his hand.

However, iu tightened her grip on the USB flash drive that Zheng Zhiyong used to install the demo, "No", her ending sounds a bit coquettish, "I want to sing this song, there may be some revisions, let's talk about it first" .

"Could you explain that?"

"of course."

When the two had dinner together at a Japanese restaurant, IU told Zheng Zhiyong how she felt when she saw "Unwillingness".

"What I think of is something I don't regret." When it first became popular, IU was the "National Sister". Now she has become a musician and is basically pure and clean. IU is eating at an extremely slow speed, compared to normal Zheng Zhiyong, who was eating, had plenty of time to talk, "No, it's not that I don't regret it at all, I don't regret it, the angel in my heart will mind."

Zheng Zhiyong, who just took a bite of sushi, had a momentary still image on his face, and then his chewing speed returned to normal.

The subtle changes in his demeanor are enough to make IU feel a lot of things, "The words I used just now are a bit naive", the word "angel" can still be used by elementary school students, it is a bit strange for IU to say it, "Some children were called angels when they were young. For 'good' things, when you grow up, you will find no practical use, can you understand?"

That is, the kind of thing that is politically incorrect to say but should be sensible in the context of the situation. iu said it in a tactful and cryptic manner, but Zheng Zhiyong quickly understood.

Can make IU have such a big reaction, what she has done is definitely not limited to the level of "sensibility".A strange light flashed in Zheng Zhiyong's eyes, and then he smiled softly: "Then why do you want to sing this song?"

IU's current fame and the fact that she was an idol dooms her to live a low-key life. In the entertainment industry, where secrets become open secrets if not covered properly, even if Zheng Zhiyong doesn't gossip, rumors about her have been heard Not a lot.Zheng Zhiyong never believed in rumors, he was more inclined to see is to believe - at most, refer to it when necessary.

What iu expressed at this time matched some rumors.

"If the situation permits, I also hope to be kind all the time," said iu, "but it started to become less and less important a long time ago."

"You want the angel to come alive in this song?" Zheng Zhiyong asked after a moment of silence.

iu nodded.

Zheng Zhiyong took a sip of the rice wine, the mellow slurry slipped through the esophagus and entered the stomach and intestines, bringing a sweet dizziness after a while.

"Earlier you said that the song needs to be modified a little bit, how is that?"

He stretched out his right hand holding the chopsticks, picked up a thin slice of tiger fish sashimi, dipped it in the wasabi mud, and put it in his mouth.The stimulant after the deliciousness exploded in the mouth, not too strong, but enough to clear up all the hazy feelings in front of it.

Zheng Zhiyong's premonition has been proven once again, iu's attitude towards music is impeccable, but he is definitely not kind.But iu's personal admission did not shake Zheng Zhiyong. He was a little confused when he first realized this, but he immediately understood: it is very difficult to meet a bosom friend. Like iu, he can fully understand and appreciate his music Zheng Zhiyong has not met the second one so far.

I hope your three views will not touch my bottom line, Li Zhien.

Although judging from the performance of iu in "Bed Zhaomen" in 2012, Zheng Zhiyong's bottom line is not very safe.Putting a bed photo with Eunhyuk that looks like a bed photo on the Internet 2 minutes later and then deleting it is not a slip of the tongue, that photo is an ordinary photo of an intimate group photo as people think, and it is easy to cause visual errors It’s still a ps product and there’s no need to pursue it. IU’s situation at the time was very difficult, and the image of "National Sister" could not be used. It was not until the release of the cover album "Flower Bookmark" in 2014 that it regained its popularity and status as a powerful musician... But All of this is not the reason why iu, as the person who caused this incident, kept silent when the incident broke out and allowed Eunhyuk to be implicated.For Eunhyuk's situation, IU cannot shirk the responsibility, but from the perspective of a bystander, she did nothing, as if the person who posted the photos on the Internet was not IU herself.

On this point alone, iu's approach is very different from Zheng Zhiyong's concept.Although Zheng Zhiyong is not particularly enthusiastic and wants to take care of everything, Zheng Zhiyong has never shirked his responsibility.

He has obsessive-compulsive disorder in this area, I don't betray others, I would rather others betray me, as for whether to get it back after being betrayed, it depends on Zheng Zhiyong's mood.

IU is generally criticized in the circle, most of her energy is put on work, and her private life is considered rare in the circle. The bad comments on her are mainly concentrated on her indifference, she is not arrogant, but in front of the camera IU who puts on a polite and healthy appearance is not so approachable in private, that's for sure.

This is a bit similar to Zheng Zhiyong, etiquette is often a means of survival.It's just that Zheng Zhiyong adheres to the principle of "I won't make anyone uncomfortable if I don't feel uncomfortable", and his kindness is sincere when he treats people who don't feel bad. IU obviously lacks interest in this, just Zheng Zhiyong From what I've seen, her passion is all about the "good music" kind of person.After discussing the cooperation-related matters, Zheng Zhiyong thought of the "unprettyrapstar" he has been paying attention to recently, which once left a deep impression on Park Jae-bum, and now he has already relied on "crazydog" which was edited to a small extent when it was broadcast. "Yezi and IU, who got angry, were in loen, so they just mentioned a word.As a result, IU, who no longer intends to be gentle and kind in front of Zheng Zhiyong, had a cold face as a matter of course: "I'm not familiar with you."

Well, that's not surprising either.

"I'm not very familiar with the younger generation. The company will cooperate if needed, and there is no communication in private." Of course, iu can't be so reticent, "Do you want to know her?"

"Brother Zai Fan mentioned it to me. I also think she is very special when watching "unprettyrapstar". If there is no accident, I will watch the next recording." A short sentence jumped out, "The difference between an idolrapper and a rapper is still being talked about. It's interesting that an idolrapper with little experience in underground activities can come to this point, isn't it?"

IU may be a little cold, she is not usually diligent when it comes to work.The next day Zheng Zhiyong woke up and received a long email from her. IU listed her feelings and opinions on the song "Unwilling" in a long list. Zheng Zhiyong went from top to bottom After a quick glance, IU needs to play for at least half an hour in terms of the number of words. Musical comprehension is not about writing essays on the Internet. You can write thousands of words for one thing. What IU writes is dry stuff. At least she must first Only after researching and rethinking can he say to Zheng Zhiyong the next day, "I think it can be done like this, what do you think?"

So when you are gifted and inspired, you go out endlessly, or do you shut yourself up in the studio and stay up all night to make up such a bunch of things after you go back?

The former is possible, the latter is inevitable.

Think about it, although iu has the title of little princess loen, the number of time-consuming and low-value trips after becoming popular is not too many, but she still does a lot of things that idol artists have to do, such as acting, shooting pictorials, and variety shows. Take the younger generation with me, singing is the foundation of my life, I can't give up, it's not just luck that iu has such a deep and wide knowledge of music under such a busy schedule.

Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and their partners are conscientious. Under such stimulation, Zheng Zhiyong had to enter a state of hard work, and began to seriously think about the feasibility of her proposal and write a reply to the email sent by iu .

It is acceptable for Zheng Zhiyong to make changes in iu's conception, but as the original author, he always has to look at the specific changes.

It is inconvenient for him to write by himself when he has no inspiration, so why can't he comment on other people's ideas?

Zheng Zhiyong, who was a little stressed, silently pressed the recording button.

The simplest and rudest way, he sang it by himself first.

The work of most people is boring. Zheng Zhiyong used to be a member of the "most", but now, no matter what kind of mentality he starts to create music, he is still surrounded by some emotional thoughts in the end up.

In "23", she didn't hesitate at all when she chose to "pretend to be a fox and a bear". When it came to "Unwilling", she felt unwilling for her choice.This is not very contradictory, people will always encounter times when they want to have both, but iu makes judgments and choices in her own way, as for what she thinks in her heart, that is not very important.

She not only wrote it in the song, but also made it very clear in front of Zheng Zhiyong.She made those controversial choices, and also felt that the decisions she made were appropriate.

Zheng Zhiyong typed the last character on the keyboard, clicked "Send", replied his opinion to iu, and then leaned back.

Iu expresses her own thoughts cryptically through her music, and if she does the same thing as Iu, even if she is on guard when facing Iu, she will see through many things.
