Thinker in the entertainment industry

Heo Solji is still confused, and at the same time, Zico is introducing Jung Jiyong and Jung Joonyoung to each other.

Zheng Zhiyong and Zheng Junying, who are three years apart in age, have never met before, but their relationship is not shallow.In addition to Zheng Junying and zico are close relatives, Zheng Zhiyong's junior, bamboo horse roykim Kim Sang Woo, and Zheng Junying are also close friends.

Not only that, when they met, they also smelled a faint, similar smell from each other.

The two men have more in common than just the same last name.They also come from wealthy families, have received good education, can speak multiple languages, grew up in an unconventional way, have rebellious thoughts and firm principles, became famous because of the draft, and even went to cj after becoming famous-of course, Zheng Joonyoung went to his friend Younha's company C9 after his contract with CJ expired.If anything, Jung Joon Young is bolder and more courageous, compared to Jung Ji Yong who is more cautious and worldly, but Jung Joon Young has no hatred for the world, Jung Ji Yong hides a lot of stuff he wants to complain about, or Taunt and attack.As for Jung Joon Young's slovenliness and Jung Ji Yong's natural focus on appearance, those are all minor details.

"This time, I want to watch the audition video one by one in a small room. Can several people sit together and watch it?"

"I also think it's meaningless for a person to talk to himself."

Zheng Junying and Zheng Zhiyong sang together, and the writer next to him was speechless: "It's not easy to coordinate when there are too many people, are the actors familiar with each other?" If there are one or two awkward relationships, how should we record the show?The variety sense of these singers is not all trustworthy.

Zheng Junying had an idea: "Then can I go to someone else's room by myself?"

Zheng Zhiyong: "Good idea."

Writer: "...I'll ask pd."

Zico, who was about to die laughing, also became interested: "Brother Junying, am I still your favorite brother? Why don't you talk?"

Zheng Junying got goosebumps from the acid: "Aren't we all just like friends, when did I treat you as a younger brother?"

At the beginning of the recording, Zheng Junying complained bitterly: "Zico? He doesn't match the Spring Festival, shouldn't he come out on Halloween?"

Watching the videos posted by applicants is actually a bit boring and boring job. In order to capture some interesting reactions, MBC also asked fd (on-site executive director) Kwon Do-woo of "My Little TV" to submit a video imitating Kim Jong-kook's singing .

It's also enough.

The list of shows where artists and amateurs sing together is that anyone can participate. Zheng Zhiyong also saw an eight-year-old girl singing Zhou Xuanmei's "Unrequited Love".

Zheng Zhiyong (seriously), "Unfortunately, I don't have the idea of ​​taking the route of nursery rhymes for the time being... Ah", he bowed his head, "It's really boring to be alone".

Did Jung Joon Young run out?

Zheng Zhiyong, who needed interaction to save himself who had no words, finally made a decision, walked out of his room, came to a door, and pushed it open——

There is no one inside.

Zheng Zhiyong could have expected the embarrassing animation that would be added to him in the later stage, and left his room to find Zheng Junying. It turned out that he thought so too, and put it into action earlier.

"He should be at Zico's place," Zheng Zhiyong said, "I hope I guessed correctly."

This time he guessed right. In Zico's room, the pair of good friends were sitting side by side on the sofa watching the video on the screen. The program team did not expect the guests to be so "lively". There is no room left for a person to sit down.

"Would you like to sit?" Zheng Junying turned around and saw that it was Zheng Zhiyong, and suggested.

"No need." Zheng Zhiyong felt tired easily after standing for a long time, but not to the point where he couldn't stand for a while.He said with a smile, put his hands on the shoulders of the two, stood behind the sofa and looked at the screen: "Do you think it's good?"

"Keep watching", Jung Joon Young said, "This is just the beginning".

The next thing that appeared was a female high school student named Song Hanxi, and she performed "okaydockay" by zico.

Zheng Zhiyong glanced at Zico quietly: "It really is a popular rapper."

Zico coughed dryly, pretending not to hear the tone of resentment in Zheng Zhiyong's joke, and pretended to concentrate on listening to the rap: "Well...that's not bad."

Zheng Zhiyong: I will never ask you if you want to cooperate with this high school rapper, I am a very kind person.

People in the Korean peninsula seem to have the racial talent of being able to sing and dance. More than 8000 submitted videos were screened by the program group and played in front of the guests. Most of them were singing videos, and many of them sang not bad.In contrast, there are far fewer people who choose to talk about rap, and half of them come to play. On the one hand, hip-hop has not yet reached the level of popularization in Korea, and on the other hand, people who speak decently will basically go to I went underground a few times, and went to "showmethemoney" even if I was not good enough. It still sounds weird to say rap on "Duet Singing Ballad Festival".

The partner said that rap and singing by himself are a form of cooperation that Zheng Zhiyong is more interested in, but the difficulty is still too high... Zheng Zhiyong silently recalled the timbres of those contributors with good singing skills while watching the video. After a certain level, the impact on the final effect is not decisive. Zheng Zhiyong would rather consider whether the sound fits first.

The shooting scene of the next video is indoors, a room that is simply furnished but not monotonous upon closer inspection. There is a laptop next to the wide table, and a pile of paper manuscripts and ink pens can be seen. At first glance, it seems to be some kind of office space, but the person sitting in the middle is not dressed formally. The down jacket is taken off and put on the back of the chair, revealing the light gray sweater inside, looking like a college student.

This disharmony is not a problem, the problem is this person...

Zheng Zhiyong and Zico looked at each other, seeing great surprise in each other's eyes.

"I'm going to sing Crucialstar's "Shop Selling Dreams"."

Zico swallowed a mouthful of saliva, glanced quickly at the "Jing Lien" in the "Name" column of the applicant's information in his hand, and then asked Zheng Zhiyong as if asking for help: "This...is this reg? wrong?"

Zheng Zhiyong was also taken aback by this person's appearance: "You see her more times than me, right...listen first."

"Dreams full of dust and no master, the dreams here are all reserved. Among countless sketchbooks or diaries, they are not afraid, and embrace the future."

"Now I plan to close this small shop, because it can't beat countless large cities."

"Let me choose the way to make money, because I was taught that way, and tell me that is the right life, because I was taught that way."

Jing Lien's appearance was unexpected enough, and her song selection was even more surprising.Zheng Zhiyong doesn't know much about this "reg". She doesn't compose music and doesn't know how to write beats. She is most famous for arguing with people underground, not to mention Zico, who was dissed by Jing Lien. Her sharp side must have been more impressive.

However, Jing Lien's selection this time is a song by Crucialstar, which is famous for its lyrical style of rap. "The Shop Selling Dreams" is a sad and depressing song-people who can't hold on to their dreams can't always feel relaxed and happy.When Jing Lien sang such a sad song, its sense of disobedience was second only to cknut singing Xiaoqing.

However, when Jing Lien really started to rap, the sense of discord disappeared quickly.

On top of Crucialstar's melancholy, Jing Li'en added a lot of sharp breath.If what Crucialstar said was "The tragedy of life is not being able to stick to ideals", what Jing Lien expressed was "Few people can stick to their ideals to the end. Everyone has only one life, so fuck it. The reality is so cruel, so don't Always daydreaming."Jing Li'en sat relaxed. Although the environment was clean and tidy, it made people want to put a cigarette on her fingertips.

The dream once shattered and dissipated together with the smoke ring, but the protagonist is not sluggish like in the decadent youth novels. Amidst the smog, the eyes that are no longer clear and fearless are still unshakable.

The dream is gone, life has to go on, I will not fall down, just tell you the experience, you may not understand.

Same rap, different feeling, but not bad.

No, it should be said, very good.

"It is oneway in my heart, but it is noway in the world. No one can enter the ending. A shop that sells dreams that have a beginning and no end, a shop that sells dreams that have a beginning and no end..." Zheng Zhiyong sang along naturally.

The melody of this song is in Zheng Zhiyong's most comfortable range, he sings

Zheng Junying turned her head: "Interested?"

"A little bit." Zheng Zhiyong said.

But this is just a plan, the biggest problem at present is that the program team needs to digest it - they selected this video from the vast number of submitted videos because they think Jing Lien has a good image and the rap is really good, but after listening to Zico and Zheng Zhiyong The reaction, this person seems to have been active underground?

"Duet Singing Ballad Festival" flaunts the cooperation between celebrities and amateurs, and professionals will foul when they go online.

So after the recording of the performance while watching the video, the program team asked Zheng Zhiyong and Zico to ask about the situation: "Miss Jing Li'en, has she ever been active underground?"

"Never mind, she goes underground less frequently than Thinker." Zico said.

Zheng Zhiyong coughed: "Her situation is that she has time to play underground in her spare time, no works are uploaded to soundcloud, and there are no commercial activities."

"I almost forgot that you have received money twice," Zico said, "But you haven't uploaded anything to Soundcloud, have you?" Soundcloud is the most famous music sharing website. Non-professional singers often post their works there It also includes rappers who don’t make a living by rapping. Even Jay Park, a full-time artist who has no desire for money and is quite idealistic, has uploaded songs for free sharing to soundcloud.

Zheng Zhiyong has never done it.

"Not being able to write and not wanting to share for free are two different things—"

Zico spread his hands.

"Then can you partner with her?"

After the recording, the guests met and exchanged their intentions. When they heard that Zheng Zhiyong was in love with a female rapper, everyone was almost relieved—if "singing well" is the selection criterion, the tendencies of the singers are similar. Zheng Zhiyong's cooperation with rapper is equivalent to one less competitor.They sincerely did not want Jing Lien to be caught by the program crew, but Min Kyung-hoon, Hong Jin-young, and Zheng Eun-ji are not familiar with Zheng Zhiyong, so Xu Solzhi was the one who could ask.

"Yes", Zheng Zhiyong said, "They confirmed, there will be no next me".That is to say, Jing Lien only regards rap as a hobby and does not make a living from it. In that case, even if she is a little famous and knows some artists, it is not a big deal. If basick has been working as a company employee instead of rapper as his main business, he can also come to the duet singing festival.

What Xu Suzhi thought of was another thing: "If the "Duet Singing Ballad Festival" was held last year, I will cooperate with you."

"This is a foul," Zheng Junying "protested" and pushed Zico's shoulder from behind, "You have to grab thinker."

"If Zico and I are together, we will be doing rapbattle on "Duet Singing Ballad Festival"...No, brother doesn't plan to cooperate with me at all?" Just kidding, who wouldn't say it?If the object of the gag is Zheng Junying, it's quite easy.

Zheng Junying quickly found the reason: "Our voices don't match, do you want to sing rock and roll?"

"Or a bitter love song?" Zheng Zhiyong laughed.

Zheng Zhiyong's voice is at the key point between rough and slender, slightly lower and more magnetic, while Zheng Junying's voice is much rougher, and he sounds like a person in the mid-thirties.

"If you say that, I don't get along with Sister Suzhi. If Sister Suzhi wants to sing high notes, I won't last long."

Xu Suzhi: "Short of breath?"

"Can you use a better description, such as 'the breath is not long enough'." Zheng Zhiyong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Oh," Xu Suzhi nodded, "If it's Hani who comes here and you are the amateur, it would be very suitable to cooperate."

Zheng Zhiyong had long been mentally prepared to hear about An Xiyan from Xu Suzhi's mouth, and his face did not change significantly, but Hong Zhenying, who was watching quietly on the other side, suddenly became a little weird.

His previous performance still made the people at the same table suspicious. Zheng Zhiyong knew it well, but Xu Suzhi didn't know if he noticed it.

No matter what, when everyone disperses, let's ask Xu Suzhi for a "courtesy".

Zheng Zhiyong's idea hadn't been put into practice yet, and when the seven of them finished talking and it was their turn to go back to their respective homes, Xu Suizhi approached them first.

"I want to ask one thing."

Zheng Zhiyong: "Huh?"
