Thinker in the entertainment industry

On the evening of November 2014, 11, Seoul Olympic Park.

"VIP seat ticket", Zheng Zhiyong stood under the stage, looked at the seat distribution, and found that he was assigned a pretty good position, "Is this another form of salary payment?" He joked.

Li Zhun, who had just finished the rehearsal and got off the stage, just twitched the corner of his mouth when he heard the words: "It's not too expensive." The last concert of the five people, even if the company wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune, the members of mq couldn't tolerate it. Make it so ugly.

"That's not necessary," Zheng Zhiyong said softly, "Who used this position before?" The farewell concert of the five-member group mq was held in two days. Come on genius.

Hearing this, Li Zhun finally understood what Zheng Zhiyong was thinking, "You think too much", he said, "This position was vacant the day before."

"Empty?" Zheng Zhiyong once again estimated the distance and elevation angle from this position to the stage, "It won't look good if it comes out on DVD."The camera scanned the audience, and there was an empty seat for VIPs in the front row... Zheng Zhiyong closed his eyes, it was so miserable.

"There's no need to think so far, there's always a way." Li Zhun didn't care much about it. "The rear view is almost a small problem. There's a lot of walking around there. Is it okay with you?"

Zheng Zhiyong was taken aback for a moment - when he was working with mq, he was sitting in the studio all the time, almost forgetting that Li Zhun and the others knew that he was handicapped. "It's okay..." He recalled the scene he saw when he went to "watch" the senior's concert, and said with some uncertainty, "How was the atmosphere of your concert?"

"Usually I can answer you, but I can't tell you now." Li Zhun smiled, his eyes swept across the rows of seats in front of him until he reached the end of his field of vision, "Don't worry, we will sit next to you The people on the stage have said hello." Those who can buy the front seats are either relatively rich or very active die-hard fans. The probability of these people intersecting with their idols is actually quite good.

Zheng Zhiyong turned around and looked up at the stage without speaking.

This is the second concert Zheng Zhiyong has watched.

The vigorous singing and dancing on the stage, the gorgeous sound effects and lighting, the passionate fans, the sound waves that seem to push away outsiders, and the young Zheng Zhiyong standing on the side of the stage, looking at the popular seniors, weaving silently Dreaming of oneself.

Now, Zheng Zhiyong, who has graduated from university and started working, once again looked up at the stage from the audience after many years.Those scenes that were thrown to the corner because they could no longer be realized were recalled by him again.

The self who longs for the big stage, the popular TVXQ; the self who folded his wings before taking off and struggled to find a new direction while licking his wounds;

The person in front of Zheng Zhiyong had already stood up, blocking his view, but he didn't respond to this, and was still sitting upright.Singing, accompaniment, cheers, screams, cheers, and even crying, mixed but independently drilled into his eardrums, and then down together, Zheng Zhiyong's soul is extraordinarily light at this moment, between memories and reality Floating freely, but the chest is stuffy, as if something is pressing there.

"Time flies..." Yang Shenghao's smile didn't last long, and his face froze. He turned his face and moved his facial muscles without any trace, "The last song will be soon."

The last song...Zheng Zhiyong finally came back to his senses, his rusty brain was turning hard because he hadn't used it for too long, and it didn't take long for him to remember - he hadn't heard "youdon'tknow" ", the song he completed with full authority, the song he completed after listening to the voices of the MQ members.

Zheng Zhiyong stood up.But because he sat for too long, his waist and legs were a little numb, and when he stood up suddenly, his feet went soft, and he almost fell on the girl next to him.However, after this episode, Zheng Zhiyong's "spiritual escape" state that lasted for several hours finally came to an end.

"Don't cry", Go squatted down on the stage, facing a group of people in tears, this scene is not unfamiliar to him, but it used to be tears of excitement, but now it has turned into sadness "If you make us cry, no one will sing the last encore."

It didn't help at all.The fans before were still able to devote themselves fully to the stage, but now it is the last song, and they can no longer devote themselves to it.

The last song, the last song brought to them by Yang Shenghao, Zheng Bingxi, Li Changxuan, Park Sangxuan, and Fang Zheyong. After this song, the mq of the five people they love will never again Appeared.

Go turned his head: "It seems that I am not very good at mobilizing the atmosphere." He looked at Li Zhun and said.

Li Zhun could only smile wryly, "Brother, it's useless for you to look at me, the difficulty..." At this point, he noticed that his tone had changed, so he stopped and adjusted it immediately, "The difficulty is a bit too high up".

It's not surprising that go named Li Zhun.After it was reported that Lee Joon would not renew his contract, go once uploaded a message saying "caring will eventually overcome selfishness", which caused a lot of speculation.The media likes to think about "relationships within the team". As for the fans, even if they feel that the truth should be that the members left behind by MQ accepted it after struggling and wished Lee Joon a better development as an actor after leaving the group... or will be worried.After the last concert, Li Zhun and Tiandong who decided to leave the group will probably not have any public interaction with the three members who stayed in the original company. No matter whether their relationship is good or bad, it is still for fans at this time Leave some comfort.

Tiandong also took the opportunity to take a step back at this time.

His actions might have played a funny role in normal times, but at this time they had no effect at all.Tiandong looked around without changing his face, and found that Yang Shenghao and Mir were looking at him.

Oh... there's no way to pretend nothing happened.He coughed in embarrassment: "It's been a long time since I've been performing arts, and it's not just Brother Go and Brother Zhun who find it inconvenient."

Alas, mq back then was also a well-known "art idol".

"I'm sorry", Yang Shenghao, who is used to taking the domineering route, at this moment, no matter his expression or voice, is so gentle that it makes people feel nervous, "I don't know how to make everyone feel better", he turned his head and asked his teammates one by one with his eyes. Opinion, "Is it okay to sing?"

"The last song." Li Zhun closed his eyes.

"You don't know." There was no countdown, and no one gave instructions. The five members of MQ said the name of the last song together.

Accompanied by Tiandong's "ohyeah——", the familiar prelude sounded.

However, just when Zheng Zhiyong was about to adjust his mood and enter the state of listening to songs, Yang Shenghao used the expression of death, and then Tiandong said "smokygirl" in a low voice.

For a long time, you brought "smokygirl" like this...Zheng Zhiyong lowered his head, his expression twisted, people around him didn't know that he was the one who wrote the song "you don't know", he still felt a little ashamed.Since Zheng Zhiyong started writing songs, the prelude has always followed a simple and clear route. The lyrical ones use a short piece of melody to bring the audience into the state, and the songs with a stronger style often start singing directly. Including the titles of all the main songs of mq", he will not stuff things into the prelude.

I will cry if I continue.

But it can’t be blamed to continue to add in the prelude in order to play with "smokygirl". "You don't know" is a soft-style ballad. Zheng Zhiyong wanted to make a rap for mir, but in the end he gave up because it sounded too awkward. , they want to add a line of "smokygirl" that is not in the same style as the lyrics. There are quite a few producers who like to add their own names to the front as labels...

"Tell me if we really love each other that much, tell me whether our love will always exist, whywhywhywhywhy, why the result is still separated."

Zheng Zhiyong's long-distance ambition returned in an instant, and he turned his eyes to the stage again. Lee Joon stood in front of the microphone and lowered his eyes. He is usually the one who takes on the role of "performance" in the group, but this time he showed a rare Yes, singing quietly.

Yang Shenghao has another posture, facing the audience directly, and his body is straight. Even watching the big screen, you can feel his sincere and serious attitude: "Please don't cry, don't be covered by tears. Please don't stay, Spread your wings and fly high. Parting is for more happiness, this is what I should understand."

When he sang "Flying Wings", Zheng Zhiyong heard sobbing again.And this time, Zheng Zhiyong's heart seemed to be blocked by something, which was a feeling he didn't have when he wrote "you don't know".

Sure enough, the singer has a bonus to the effect of the song, Zheng Zhiyong thought.

"You don't know, it's not that I don't want you to go. It's better to break up peacefully than to struggle together and become a resentful couple. Say goodbye like a man. No matter how painful it is, you must be firm."

Zheng Zhiyong closed his eyes.

He originally wanted to write a healing song.No matter how deep the relationship is, it is Zheng Zhiyong's expectation for MQ to work together, without any deep hatred, to understand each other's mood and then to get together and break up.

As for why he thought so at that time...Zheng Zhiyong was concentrating on creation at that time, and didn't delve into it.But just two days ago, Zheng Taiyong turned over the old account, so now he understands.

Zheng Zhiyong is emotional and doesn't like to fight. However, this does not mean naive or stupid. At that age when he was constantly dreaming of dreams, he also made some psychological preparations for possible failures:

If luck is not very bad, like Tianshang Zhixi, ckbeat and trax, I can at least get mixed up in a second-tier team. I have been active on the stage for a few years, and I can always survive after I retire. It’s easy to get together and break up...

It didn't.The truth is far worse than the worst he could have imagined as a child—his dreams didn't come true, and he didn't hang out with the people he'd known during the happiest years of his life.

"The future is like a monalisa, giving you a mysterious smile, it's too ignorant to be easily moved and impulsive. The flowers are withered. It's a cold winter, and it won't thaw until the new year."

"Forget melancholy, life is a war, we face our own dangers, and we go our separate ways. Do you understand this, I can't escape it, I can only accept it."

……

"You don't know, it's not that I don't want you to go. It's better to break up peacefully than to struggle together and become a resentful couple. Say goodbye like a man. No matter how painful it is, you must be firm."

……

"You don't know, it's not that I don't want you to go. It's better to break up peacefully than to struggle together and become a resentful couple. Say goodbye like a man. No matter how painful it is, you must be firm."

……

I don't know when, the melody of "you don't know" has become a chorus, the singing is still mixed with crying, and there are sporadic and hoarse "encore".

"It seems that everyone understands." Zheng Zhiyong's voice was so weak that even he couldn't hear it clearly, "What a good ending, how good..."

There is no feast that lasts forever. The last concert, after the "Encore" again and again, still ushered in the end. When the fans in the audience were reluctant to leave, lingering and not wanting to leave, the staff had already started to clean up up.

Artists don't need to worry, they are well prepared and have enough time, so they don't need to run back and forth.It is also possible to change clothes, take a break, and adjust your mood.

Zheng Zhiyong went backstage to look for them, and the first one he saw was Lee Joon who was arranging costumes for the performance in the corner of the lounge with his back turned to the outside.

"m, b, l, a, q, mq", Li Zhun read silently, he almost used his breath, the movement was extremely weak, if it wasn't for Zheng Zhiyong's good hearing, at this time, I don't know why he said "mq" again. "It's more sensitive, I'm afraid I can't hear it, "ck...iamck..."

Zheng Zhiyong lowered his head, reached out and knocked on the door.

The sound of the metal pendant hitting the table interrupted the whisper Zheng Zhiyong had heard earlier, and Li Zhun turned around: "You're here...huh?" Zheng Zhiyong raised his head, and he was taken aback, " What happened to your eyes?"

Zheng Zhiyong and Li Zhun didn't know each other very well after all. His red eyes gave Li Zhun a lot of shock. Li Zhun's own eyes were also red. The two of them stared at each other, looking like two people. Like a little white rabbit looking at each other.

After Zheng Zhiyong said this metaphor, Li Zhun laughed "puchi": "I am usually called a fox."

Zheng Zhiyong looked him up and down: "It doesn't look like it."

He originally wanted to say that it was inappropriate for Li Zhun to call himself a fox with his rabbit eyes open, but Li Zhun misunderstood: "I am gradually moving away from this image. When I was young, I was a little fox. Seeing the cleverness, the old fox is not popular anymore. .”

"Smart and smart?" Zheng Zhiyong repeated it in doubt, you were more like a fox when you were positioned as "two", right?

Li Zhun didn't react quickly, but he was very sensitive when he was stepped on and hurt his feet, and immediately exploded: "I haven't said anything yet, what's wrong with your eyes? I... I'm going to a concert, so it's normal to be more emotional."

"I..." Zheng Zhiyong glanced at Li Zhun, "It's normal for me to be more emotional when I come to the concert."

Li Zhun:?

He felt as if something was different and didn't know why.
