Thinker in the entertainment industry

"In winter, do you eat iced tiramisu?"

"If you're not used to cold food, I'll order something else for you." Zheng Zhiyong did not give up on the sweet food made of cream flour chocolate in front of him, "My stomach can bear it to this extent, I won't If I eat something that affects my throat before work, such as spicy food, or if I eat something that affects my skin when I am shooting a magazine, you have to stop me.” , Zheng Zhiyong said, and scraped off a thick layer with a spoon in his hand, "But my skin is not sensitive. I used to add Qingyang pepper to the army pot, and there was no acne on my face. , just drank a lot of water."

"That, Zhiyong."

For some reason, Fang Jihe was a little apprehensive at this moment.

"En?" Zheng Zhiyong had already put the first spoon into his mouth, biting the spoon in response.

"I'm a little lucky that you are not attached to what you eat. Many people who like to eat like this kind of high-sugar food." Fang Jihyuk paused at this point, trying to make his next words as tactful as possible, "You consume calories. There are not many channels."

What he didn't know was that for Zheng Zhiyong, the problem wasn't this at all.

"I'm really not obsessed with food." Zheng Zhiyong sucked the spoon out of his mouth and submerged it into the sweet ice cream cake again, "but I don't want others to control how many calories I eat."

Fang Jihe's heart tightened, and he looked into Zheng Zhiyong's eyes subconsciously to try to judge his emotions, and Zheng Zhiyong recalled smiling: "There is no requirement in the contract that I need to keep fit, I remember correctly, right?"

"I see that your figure has been maintained well." Fang Jihe explained.

As a person who can't do strenuous exercise and is uncomfortable when standing and sitting for a long time, Zheng Zhiyong's figure is maintained quite well.His body is not easy to gain weight, and he is not obsessed with food. He has not been meticulous in implementing the advice on exercise that the doctor told him when he was recovering, but he has never stopped. For example, walking when he can walk, When he has no inspiration, he just lifts up the small dumbbell weighing [-] kilograms that he keeps at home.Zheng Zhiyong still attaches great importance to his external image.

"That was my spontaneous behavior, and it was not within the scope of management," Zheng Zhiyong said, "One day I liked to eat sweets, and I didn't want to exercise or maintain my figure, and it was not within the scope of management."

"There is no provision in the contract." He reminded Fang Jihyuk again.

When signing the contract, Zheng Zhiyong was thinking about the day when he could not maintain his body. He would put his body first. He is now a rapper and producer. Beating people and things like that, he wasn't considered a pawn when making the rules.However, Zheng Zhiyong's external image is really good, and Fang Jihyuk can easily have the idea of ​​​​maintaining this image.

And Zheng Zhiyong is reminding him that he cannot cross the boundary.

Fang Jihyuk frowned, a little confused.

"According to the agreement, my partner, other things, even if we have the same idea, you don't interfere," Zheng Zhiyong said in an intimate tone, but what he said was not aimless, "This will save us a lot of trouble." .

Zheng Zhiyong is not an artist who was trained by CJ and controlled by CJ. His image has many similarities with idols, but he is not an idol. As a manager, Fang Jihyuk is easy to have illusions. Zheng Zhiyong can understand, but he should make it clear It is still necessary to make it clear.He and Fang Jihyuk are first of all a working partnership. Relationships and even respect must be placed behind "drawing the bottom line". Zheng Zhiyong is still satisfied with Fang Jihyuk so far, and he hopes to continue to cooperate happily.

He has made it clear enough that Zheng Zhiyong cannot control whether Fang Jihe can understand his kindness.

"I see." Fang Jihe pursed his lips a little harder and nodded.

"So, what do you want to eat?" Zheng Zhiyong said.

This little episode has been revealed. Fang Jihyuk has realized that he needs to add the item "what can be managed and what cannot be managed" into his memo. When will he really get used to grasping the scale between Zheng Zhiyong and Zheng Zhiyong? Still need to observe.The priority now is to eat.

"After the company's news came out, Cube also got news?" Zheng Zhiyong finished speaking, and stuffed the chocolate bar inserted into the tiramisu into his mouth.

He didn’t dare to eat ice in winter, so he finally ordered a cup of honey citron tea and asked for a small piece of uniced cake. Fang Kihyuk didn’t need to stuff a lot of things into his mouth like Zheng Zhiyong. He had a lot of time to talk: "Yes, they contacted a few reporters. The impact of the news is not too big. Fan circles are spreading it. Your song is now considered a famous song in fan circles."

"Is there an interview in the Cube news?"

"No, what?"

"If you are famous in the fan circle, it is more beneficial for fans to publish an exclusive interview. There is still half a month before 4minute's comeback, and the popularity has passed by then." Zheng Zhiyong said, "For female artists, they still have high popularity. It is more beneficial, but since it has become a famous song in the fan circle, let's use it in this direction."

"It seems that your song is still in the rankings. It has been in the top ten for a month and a half. If you persist for another half month, there will be time for news when 4minute comes back."

"Too."

Working with Jeon Ji-yoon, Zheng Zhiyong can say with a clear conscience that he has tried his best. The response to "Mediocre" is actually not bad. It is not a hit song that is familiar to all age groups, but many people are particularly fond of this song. It is a good result that someone I particularly like is also famous among fans.When an opportunity arises, it is Quan Zhiyun's business to seize it, not Zheng Zhiyong's control.

Cube is going from bad to worse, and it can no longer be said to be a good backstage. At this time, the factor of strength is more important to stand out. Jun Jiyun looks average, female rappers are far worse than men, and Jun Jiyun is not strong among female rappers. Zheng Zhiyong is not optimistic.However, with the matter of ledapple and mq beforehand, Zheng Zhiyong can already accept that his partner will have a bad result in the future, as long as it is not his friend, then it doesn't matter.

He thought of Zhang Xiansheng's admonition to him a month ago, Zheng Zhiyong was very resistant at that time, but later on, he was still doing what Zhang Xiansheng said.

This is the way he has to go.

After finishing their calorie intake, Zheng Zhiyong and Fang Jihe went out of the store to go back, but just after leaving, Zheng Zhiyong met someone he knew.

"Vernonxi?"

The characteristics of mixed blood are too obvious, even though Vernon used hats and masks in winter and these seemingly harmless disguises, Zheng Zhiyong still recognized him at a glance.Looking at the pile of things in his hand, it was obvious that they were purchased between practice sessions.

Vernon was obviously surprised when he saw Zheng Zhiyong. He who was six years younger than Zheng Zhiyong bowed his head and said hello before he asked his question: "Brother, is there something to do here?"

"Here?" Zheng Zhiyong repeated in doubt, and then suddenly realized, "pledis, No. 614, Yeoksam-dong, I almost forgot."

The shop he randomly found on the side of the road was at No. 617 in Yeoksam-dong.

"Passing by by chance." He said, Fang Jihe had already walked to the front at this time, and did not listen to Zheng Zhiyong's private conversation, which Fang Jihe did well.

It's actually a little embarrassing to think about this kind of thing too much, but Vernon didn't seem to care much, just smiled: "I think too much."

"There's nothing to do in this area, and it's at the gate of Pledis, so I'll think about it." Zheng Zhiyong paved a step, and then changed the subject, "I remember that you went to film a group show after the song war. When did you come back?"

Zheng Zhiyong met and talked with seventeen during the song war. Although the conversation was not deep and not much, he still remembered that seventeen would leave Seoul to film the group drama "A Beautiful Day" after the end of the song war. thing. "A Beautiful Day" is MBC's variety show. If idol wants to record fans and use group variety shows, it is the best choice for "showtime", which is also MBC, but younger. Seventeen can have such an opportunity after debuting for half a year. Apart from the fact that they have developed really well, I can only lament that pledis finally made sense.

"I just came back, and I was looking for a feeling in the practice room."

"Stop doing a special stage?" Seventeen loves to make adaptations very much. Zheng Zhiyong has watched several versions of "Long Live" in the past two months.

If his leg hadn't been injured, would he have poured all his creative enthusiasm into choreography?He also had a daydream.

"Don't do it, the original version of "Precious"," Vernon said, suddenly, an expression called "sorry" appeared on his face, "Brother, I want to ask you for a favor."

"Speak." This kind of thing varies from person to person, and from situation to situation. Zheng Zhiyong needs to listen first before making a decision.

"After we came back from filming the group drama, my teammates took on a task to do the feat for "Audition" at the Seoul Music Awards."

Zheng Zhiyong: ... "Although I have sung auditory hallucinations, it is difficult to share this experience." He has never taught rap in Cube.

"I didn't mean that," Vernon explained earnestly, "He's too nervous now, if seniors can comment on it, it might have a good effect."Stretching the head and retracting the head is also a slash. Having said that, it is the most tormenting when the knife is not cut down, not to mention that there are only two days to practice golden bells, oh no, rap.

Zheng Zhiyong was speechless again.

Well, he also pretended to be affectionate for a while.

In the end, he agreed to Vernon's invitation and called Fang Jihyuk to go back first. "There are not many opportunities for day trips to pledis," he said on the phone, "I'll go and see."

"Pledis took over the feat of "Auditory Hallucinations" in the end?" "Listen to" the proposal, and told him "someone will go", "Then I will go back first, you rejected the feat of "Auditory Hallucinations", don't say it."

"Of course." I said, "Oh, they were looking for me first. I thought it was not worth it, so I refused." Isn't that courting death?

Zheng Zhiyong hung up the phone and walked towards Vernon who was waiting not far away: "How is the candidate selected? I think if it's you, at least there won't be any nervousness."

How bad was Vernon's situation in "showmethemoney" at that time, no debut, no experience in fighting with other rappers in underground activities, and dozens of people collectively regarded him as a soft persimmon, just like this one-on-one battle with Zheng Zhiyong, Vernon's The tension is only "a little" level, which is completely within the understandable range.When Zheng Zhiyong saw Vernon again later, he couldn't feel any psychological shadow brought by "showmethemoney".Of course, it is possible that Zheng Zhiyong could not feel it.

"After "Show Methemoney", everyone knew that I was no longer good at rap, and it would be better to give others the opportunity to talk about rap." Vernon said generously.

This is the truth, Zheng Zhiyong glanced at Vernon and remembered the edited version he saw later.I have to admit that after becoming a typical "idolrapper without strength" in the fourth season, Vernon has little hope of achieving anything as a rapper, and his appearance is more caucasian and he can't take the acting route. Pledis doesn't need to give him Smash resources like feat.

His glance caused Vernon to misunderstand, and he added with a little embarrassment: "Our hip-hop team is all idolrapper... That friend's rap is similar to mine."

"I have a guess, why are you going to "showmethemoney"." Zheng Zhiyong said.

"Why?" Vernon pushed open the back door of Pledis for Zheng Zhiyong, and turned to look at him.

"Big heart."

"?"

Although he has an exotic face, Vernon, who has lived in Korea since he was five years old, has been more influenced by Eastern culture than Western culture. At this time, he felt that he seemed to be unable to understand Korean.
