Thinker in the entertainment industry

The development of "Korean Wave" overseas is very different from its domestic situation.The Japanese market is large and mature, but the requirements are very high. If you want to be accepted, the works with strength and attitude are indispensable.The Southeast Asian market is limited but the cultural barriers are not high, and there are many people who can get a share of it. Generally speaking, it is the world of idol groups.In China, there are only a small number of people who pay attention to the development of the Korean entertainment industry. When it comes to "Korean Wave", it is basically a group of the SM family, plus a big stick.

The above is to illustrate that the popularity status of Korean artists at home and abroad is not the same, especially now that there is more and more love for big music in Korea, but overseas is still the world of idol groups.Mama, known as the grand festival of Asian pop music and focusing on overseas markets, has already worked hard to lean towards overseas Hallyu fans. I am afraid it will be difficult to avoid sane, zion.t and other popular musicians in Korea. , exo and other live broadcast fans asking "Who is this?" scene.

"So why do you want me to present awards?" There are very few people in Korea who don't know thinker. Zheng Zhiyong also has a certain reputation among Korean fans, but he is not at the level of a "Korean singer". He has a close relationship with idols. Overseas fans may be more familiar with him than zion.t, but it's just better, "A person who brushes his face?"

"Try it," Fang Jihyo did not deny this statement, "It is also an advantage for you to speak the award speech in English and Chinese."

It sounds more compelling.

On the second day of supporting iu's concert in Busan, that is, on November 11, Zheng Zhiyong flew to Hong Kong.He went a little earlier, and there was no media watching, so it was very easy. Before the mama was officially held on the evening of December 30, he even had time to rehearse the award presentation process and completed the lyrics and music of "the end".

With no stage performances, Zheng Zhiyong couldn't be too busy if he wanted to.As an award presenter who came here two days in advance and rehearsed, instead of flying over to say a few words and withdrawing, Zheng Zhiyong's attitude is already considered sincere.And mama will use him in the second half, and in the first half he is basically in the background...as an audience.

The opening show was "Bird of the World" psy, and the newcomer award went to ikon from yg and twice from jyp. got7 and BTS first collaborated briefly, and then each performed their new title songs "ifyoudo" and "run". A "Hotel Joint Best Music Video" award came on stage for the first time, and the best dance single award went to Kim Hyuna's "Because of Red". It is worth mentioning that the following hip-hop award is "mommae" released by Park Jay Bum this year. Nominated, but Jay Park is unlikely to come to mama this year. Sane's "meyou" is the second most powerful threat, this year's mama has Park Jin Young, Park Jay Bum can't and won't come.

Originally, the relationship was not very good. In November, Park Jay Bum’s long-term hard-to-delivery official album finally came out. The lyrics of the song "Trash" "Suspected" diss Park Zhenrong unsurprisingly caused controversy. Public opinion is not good for Park Jay Bum Great, scolding one's former teacher is not an easy behavior to be accepted by Koreans. Not everyone knows the twists and turns between Jay Park and jyp, but Jay Park's situation is not that bad Go, he's not a good kid, and he doesn't have a good relationship with jyp, it's not a secret anymore.

Zheng Zhiyong was so overwhelmed by "Zeze" at that time, he could only watch the turmoil caused by "Trash" from the sidelines. Jay Park had already expected the outcome, and Zheng Zhiyong had some but limited worries.The subsequent developments surprised both him and Jay Park. Fans of Jay Park threw out a big killer:

Do you think the line "What I do is music, what you do is politics" is wrong?Have you forgotten whose relative Park Jin Young's second wife is?

Park Zhenrong remarried in 2013. At that time, he said that he married a "nine-year-old woman outside the circle". After the sinking of the Sewol ship that shocked the whole of Korea in 2014, the identity of Park Zhenrong's wife was also picked up. —— Sewol Biography The niece of Yoo Byung-yan, a South Korean rich man and cult leader.Park Zhenrong denied at the time that there was a problem with jyp's source of funds, but the rumors that jyp and the underworld are unclear have not been a day or two, and people can't stand it.And the willpower of that group of diehard fans for many years... Hehehehe.

Jay Park and jyp didn't mean to hold on to it, the turmoil of "Trash" ended here, that is, "jay park (Park Jay Park)" and "jy park (Park Zhenrong)" appeared on the same occasion, and now it is even more impossible.

The person who won the award in the hip-hop department was "M's son" Sane. This man has lived more and more mainstream in recent years. After receiving the award, he gave his acceptance speech, which showed a different side from mainstream singers: "I I always thought that I would get some kind of funny award, commendation award and merit award in m."

Then I started nagging, my dad in the United States hoped this would be your strength, I had an argument with my mother two days ago Mom I love you, today is my brother's birthday Happy birthday, this is back on track, start saying thank you list.After sane stepped down, it was followed by the stage of zion.t's "Yanghua Bridge". On various overseas mama live broadcast websites, a kind of message began to appear frequently:

"Who are these?"

In 2015, sane, zion.t, hyukoh, and of course Zheng Zhiyong were all very popular in Korea, but "Infinite Challenge" is not considered a popular variety show overseas, nor is "showmethemoney". They appeared on mama, There must be a group of people who have such an idea.

"The award presenter is Lee Kwang-soo, and I finally saw a familiar face."

"Sane and zion.t are very popular in Korea, but they are not well-known overseas."

"I don't know what they're singing anyway."

""Yanghua Bridge" combined with the lyrics is super tear-jerking."

"Best Female Singer - Taeyeon! I am the tallest!"

"The best male singer is actually the gorilla (Park Zhenrong). My impression of him is still the constipated face in the "nobody" mv."

"Ikon was able to sing three songs in a row when he first debuted. How much did Mama charge YG?"

"The following is the time left by m for his own family - no one has watched "Superstark", and the rule that the champion has a separate stage on mama has not changed."

"Who are these four people talking about?"

"The popular contestants of m's rap show, basick, lilboi, truedy and yezi."

"Without subtitles, I can't understand what they are talking about."

"Confess my yezi husband."

"Confess your love to daddy (basick) brother hee hee (lilboi)."

"Didn't it mean that Thinker is in Hong Kong, and there is no him on this collaboration stage?"

"That's right, where did Thinker go? We waited for the live broadcast for Thinker."

Such messages passed by in a flash. Compared with the unfamiliar name "thinker", people's attention was more likely to be attracted by Big Bang's second appearance on stage to accept the award.

"The most popular artist award is still named after iQiyi, why does it feel so strange."

"The explosion is the highest."

"Shengli's acceptance speech was in both Chinese and English, which is more and more like a president."

……

Such a strange name, and apparently just one of many awards the big stick has won.In fact, this session didn't take long, it's just that the topic of big sticks can be discussed for a long time.

But no matter how valuable "big stick" is to talk about, it can't prevent people from asking "how is it rap again?" after seeing a series of stages behind.

First is the solo stage of jessi, Kim Hyuna, and sane, followed by the collaboration of monstax and seventeen, two rookie boy groups that made their debut in 2015 and have a relatively good momentum. The monstax has a strong hip-hop color.So what the audience sees is-

Rap, rap, and rap.

Can't understand, can't understand, and can't understand.

"Is rap so popular in Korea?"

Those who come up are all uninterested people, and the viewers who are struggling with the speed of the Internet and watching the live broadcast are a little bit frustrated.Park Zhenrong's solo stage that followed was so long that their patience was even more exhausted.

What about me, home, idol? What about the big stick? what about exo? what about shinee?Where is their stage?

Although someone reassured that "their popularity will definitely be the finale", it could not relieve the anxiety of the fans-who knows how long mama's live broadcast will last, what if they only come to receive an award?But they can't be sure that the shooting of their idol is over, so they can only continue to watch. Mama took advantage of this and stuffed a lot of less attractive content in the middle, in order to have a decent ratings in the end. The award ceremony was not so much like the special shows of the three major companies, especially SM.

It's just that the audience has to wait a little bit more.

"After a bunch of raps I couldn't understand, it turned out to be Park Zhenrong's personal stage. I don't want to watch the gorilla."

"Have all the popular idols been left behind? M is old and cunning orz."

"The award ceremony is half over, and the grand prize is not far away."

The fans continued to wait expectantly while complaining. It wasn't the first time someone they didn't recognize appeared on mama. It was not a very difficult task to watch it with a calm mood or even a slight disturbance.

Small surprises are unexpected encounters under such circumstances.

"Hi everyone, I'm Thinker."

"Hi everyone, I'm uie."

"uiexi has starred in "Fist Shaolin Temple" in China before."

"It was a hard time, but also a good memory."

"For actors, the ability to act and act is very important, and for singers, dancing is also important."

"Is such that."

When the award presenters introduced the theme incidentally in the "greetings", the fans were not watching the live broadcast quietly.

"Is the woman Uhey from "So Beautiful"? Why does she look so dark? Mama doesn't give her more light."

"The man doesn't look like an actor. He has a good-looking face but he is not too tall. He looks similar to a woman."

"Thinker? Thinker? What's the name?"

"The voice is really good, and I didn't read the script, but the voice of the award presenter made me feel a little bit more refreshed."

"Su, this voice is a singer."

Zheng Zhiyong, who appeared as an award presenter with uie, who was a member of afterschool and is now mainly an actor, did not have a serious suit and leather shoes like the previous male award presenters. Although the brown checked casual suit is not loose, it is suitable for the award presentation The guest's positioning is much more lively, and his complexion is fair, so the matching looks even more shining.

But this is not the most attractive part of Zheng Zhiyong. His face in "showmethemoney" and even "Infinite Challenge" can surprise everyone, but the most indispensable thing in mama is a good-looking face. Calm down When it comes to rankings, Zheng Zhiyong can be ranked in the "Shen Yan", but now the mama is over half, many idols have turned on the stage, and there are also good-looking actors like Lu Zhenjiu and Xu Kangjun among the award presenters. The possibility of being amazed by Zheng Zhiyong's face is not great.

But the sound is different.

For actors, there is no meaning or benefit to appearing on mama. Coming here is more to sell the face of M and the cj behind it. They fly over, read the words according to the script, and then retreat.Although Zheng Zhiyong also held the script, there is a difference between being prepared and not being prepared. His voice is clear and smooth, and his tone is also in place. The audience's eyes did not feel particularly amazing, but their ears felt it.

"Who will this year's best dance performance award belong to?"

After Zheng Zhiyong said this sentence in fluent English, he paused briefly, and then switched to Chinese: "The following are the nominations for the best dance performance female group."

It's just "showing off skills", but some people do it because some people like it.

"Both English and Chinese are fluent and standard. Which country is this from?"

"Koreans have full foreign language skills. Before becoming an artist, they were teachers of foreign languages."

"It's not easy for Koreans to speak Chinese so nicely. I've had enough of all kinds of strange pronunciation 'how are you'."

"Suddenly I feel that this little brother is a bit handsome."

"The feeling of being able to do a job with ease is a few blocks away from the actors who have gone through the motions."

"Is it a singer? Which group?"

……

There are also people who know Zheng Zhiyong are helping with science popularization, or expressing their emotions:

"This is a rapper who also writes songs for others. This year's sound source performance is super good, but he didn't release an album as an individual so he was not nominated. I didn't expect to be an award presenter."

"It's such a bad idea to let a person who used to focus on dancing but now has a disabled leg award the best dance performance."
