Thinker in the entertainment industry

Zheng Zhiyong's first solo album is called "ithink".When conceiving the name, it is not that no one wanted to come up with a higher theme, but Zheng Zhiyong objected to using English words that he could not understand at first sight to show his superiority, and those who made suggestions had to give up.Zheng Zhiyong's own initial opinion was also rejected. He was thinking about "let'stalk" at the time, but the planning department felt that Zheng Zhiyong was not discussing the issue sincerely. Many topics he said were "I know you persuaded I can’t convince you without me, so I just said how are you?” type, there is no need to put on a gesture of interaction.The final title was unremarkable, but at least it did not repeat with others, and it also echoed Zheng Zhiyong's stage name.The cover of the album uses a photo of Zheng Zhiyong. Zheng Zhiyong walks alone under the slanting sun with a chic posture. The picture is not completely warm, but the tone is always optimistic.

For Zheng Zhiyong, there is actually no special need to release a physical album. Now people who want to listen to songs download music sources. If the price of the cd and lyrics book is not particularly high, there is no need for him to specifically resist it.Even though he felt that the price was still a bit high, Zheng Zhiyong just copied some of his manuscripts in the process of writing lyrics, and randomly stuffed them into the album to improve the cost performance.

"Isn't this another form of small card?" Fang Kihyuk said, "You really came out of SM."

Zheng Zhiyong was ashamed, and deeply repented for bringing down the image of his former company: "Don't get me wrong, SM's way of making money from peripherals is not so rough."

"Yes", Fang Jihyo is as good as others, "they don't have many manuscripts that can be used as small cards."

Zheng Zhiyong: ...

Today, when the sales share of major music programs is gradually declining, releasing an album for a popular boy group is a way to make money, but for Zheng Zhiyong, it is purely a way to connect with fans.Whether the results are good or bad depends on the sound source.

The sound source of the entire album will be released at noon on March 3.Generally, there are only two time points for the release of sound sources, midnight at midnight and noon at noon, and there are few people in the middle of the night. At that time, the release is convenient for fans to check the rankings, so that the songs will have a good performance on the list after dawn. Idol groups, especially sound sources Generally, not-so-good boy groups tend to release their music sources in the early hours of the morning. There are many people online at noon, and there are people of all ages. What results will be achieved after the song depends on the feedback from the public. Most of the people who choose this time period are not many fans. A singer who relies more on word of mouth in music.Zheng Zhiyong's number of fans is quite good, if he is willing to get an official cafe registered with his ID card, like iu people call "one-man girl group", it is not too difficult for Zheng Zhiyong to get the title of "one-man boy group".It's just not necessary, he still pays more attention to the source of music, and his own nationality is too high, it's almost enough for fans to verify the title of "listener".

Although the college entrance examination will be in half a year, the pressure of studies certainly cannot suppress the hearts of Li Yuanzhu's fans. Like many other "listeners", she bought all the music sources in one go when they were released at twelve o'clock at noon.As for the number of auditions, there is no official organization, some fan stations have relevant experience, and the spontaneous behavior did not form a big battle.Anyway, Li Yuanzhu didn't have that energy anymore, she only had time to contribute a sum of money to buy music sources, and by the way, contribute a little hits on YouTube.

She clicked on the MV of "London Carriageman" on the top of "ithink".

What catches the eye is the scene like an old movie, tall chimneys, gray sky, bustling factories, busy Thames River, the poor and poor Whitechapel district, the beautiful Westminster district, a reflection of the modern times of Europe. Those who have a little understanding of history and the Industrial Revolution will immediately think of London, the heart of the empire on which the sun never sets and the center of gravity of the world.

The camera quickly zoomed in and focused on the carriages coming and going on the street, the "private cars" serving individuals, the "taxis" carrying passengers on the road, and even made into rooms where several people can sit "bus".They are exquisitely designed, and the luster of wood and metal seems to be a bit artistic today. The gentleman got out of the car with a cane, and the middle-aged driver with simple, clean and decent clothes sent his client away, and turned back to touch them intimately. The neck of the tall and beautiful horse beside him, the horse also rubbed against his palm affectionately, under the long eyelashes, the black eyes were wet.

The scene switches again at this time, and it becomes the old movie style again, or the documentary style, the cylinder, the wheel, the tar, the newly born car, the person who loves this new thing, the screen switches rapidly, until a gentleman Gather great room.

Traffic regulations have been revised.

The picture is divided into two parts, less and less carriages, and more and more cars.And the handsome and gentle coachman in the front, who seemed to be quite optimistic, then returned to the center of the camera. He took off his gloves and uniform with a sad face, and the carriage behind him was already in dilapidated condition.The horse that used to be a steed is also old, and hangs its head weakly.

Unemployment in an era without social security is a tragedy for both people and horses.

With the deep and depressing piano accompaniment, Zheng Zhiyong's rap is like a tragic recitation.

"The man eaten by the sheep, the man swallowed by the smoke, the coachman of the City of London, the man driven out of the iron box.

Black particles filled the foggy city, and the sky was gloomy.

The old horse who left together took away only scars. "

Then came the ratchet that Zheng Zhiyong is best at, rap with scales.

"Moderate leather whip, whistle accurately, learn to tame with time, master strength, no more, no less.

For the guidance of flesh and blood, steel mounts cannot be used.

The hands that can't hold the steering wheel, the mud that loses direction. "

The demand for labor in the industrial era is much higher than in the past, but in the stage of capital accumulation, it is really hard to say how the people at the bottom can live-the industry needs a population, but what it really needs is a population with knowledge. Nearly half a hundred people whose skills have been invalidated are re-employed, and the treatment...

The open street has become a dark and closed factory. Day after day of physical labor quickly makes people feel tired and old. The soot is everywhere, and the future is invisible.

"Bow down in Whitechapel, God doesn't hear prayers.

Discard the surface of the clothes and accept the meager income.

There is no chance to start all over again, so grow old haggardly. "

The hard and hopeless life quickly crushed the body and spirit of the young man, and no one noticed his fall. Although the accumulation of capital brought unprecedented employment opportunities and unprecedented prosperity, some people Being sucked dry of blood in the middle is also a very common thing.

Only the old horse, which had also reached the end of its life in the midst of hunger, cold and hardship, looked at the gray and empty space in front of it, and let out a whimpering sound.

After the rap, the cello constitutes a short interlude. The front part is sad and depressing according to the scene, but the tone gradually rises after the rap.Those emotions are no longer entangled in the heart, but turned into Zheng Zhiyong's singing.

"The small sand in the torrent flows through the magnificent scenery or dies in the wash.

If today's abandonment is exchanged for a brighter future, how can I have the heart to let the times stop for me. "

Li Yuanzhu was dumbfounded.

When listening to the previous paragraph, she thought that Zheng Zhiyong was expressing sympathy and pity for those who were left behind by the times. Unexpectedly, in the first chorus, Zheng Zhiyong actually opened up a new layer, leading to a new era. Deep, perhaps even more painful and helpless themes.The "I" in the song is no longer at the stage of complaining, as if the soul has been lifted after death, standing from a higher perspective, directly hitting the sorrow, joy and powerlessness of the small people in the big era.

The body of the coachman turned into a phantom, wandering the streets of London, wandering alone in the city where he has lived all his life in the form of a soul.

Regarding the subsequent transformation of the city, mv did not obsess over the war, but focused on the development of industry and the progress of technology.Pollution has been cured, the sky in London has turned blue again, the crazy development of industry has accumulated enough wealth for them, and the advancement of technology has also continuously improved people's quality of life.

He saw more cars shuttle on the road, carrying people and goods that need to be delivered, which provided great convenience for people.The sight of horse-drawn carts walking on the streets of London has become a black and white memory.

He is not the only one who lives in black and white memories.

People who spin on hand spinning machines produce a steady stream of yarn under the operation of exceptionally efficient jenny machines.

In the colorful reality, there are more efficient and less human-intensive machines.

In the telephone exchange, the operator running around to make connections.

Smartphones in people's hands.

Busy people in the factory.

All kinds of fully automatic equipment, and people who were unfamiliar to that era, sitting in front of the computer and writing lines of code.

"Time flies by and London has changed.

Cars are still coming and going on the road, transporting the nutrition of society.

Lamps with copper wires illuminate the darkness,

Disconnected electromagnetism sends the heart further afield.

Hunger no longer leads to death, but new despair,

Constantly overcome the past, constantly examine the present situation, constantly swallow sorrow with tears.

Everyone hopes for a happy ending, and sacrifice can be suppressed and unstoppable.

Danger can only change and never die. What direction do you want to choose? "

The constantly switching images belonging to different eras in the mv are more like fragments of a documentary about human progress.Hundreds of years ago, the poverty and hardship, the bottom struggled to survive, hunger, cold and death followed everywhere, and the so-called luxury enjoyment of the upper class, today, most of them are things that ordinary people are accustomed to.Later, machines began to replace manpower, inventions were born one after another, new enjoyment, new tools, new jobs, a steady stream, unprecedented consumption of resources brought unprecedented output, people are busier than before, and more rich.

Turning page by page, it is an increasingly brilliant picture scroll, coupled with an increasingly passionate melody in the accompaniment, people can't help but feel excited for the brilliance created by human beings in just over a hundred years.Those left behind in the transformation are just a dark corner in the picture scroll, and few people pay attention.

But even if someone pointed out those corners, like Zheng Zhiyong did in the song, so what?

Do you choose not to change because you sympathize with those who have lost their hard-earned skills and fell to the bottom?

"The small sand in the torrent flows through the magnificent scenery or dies in the wash.

If today's abandonment is exchanged for a brighter future, how can I have the heart to let the times stop for me. "

Strong emotions hit the heart, joy and sorrow are equally vivid.

Li Yuanzhu's scalp was numb, and his hands were trembling uncontrollably.

A song can ignite the blood, but also be so sad that it makes the heart sore and the eyes red. The tone of Zheng Zhiyong's song is straightforward and has a momentum of opening and closing, but the inner arrangement is exquisite to the extreme.

The unavoidable tragedy that happened to some people for the sake of the progress of all mankind... How did he think of it?

"London Coachman" is the perfect embodiment of Zheng Zhiyong's thoughts and imagination.And with the name "thinker", this song is not the only one he can write.

"Glass Heart" has the same name as a lyrical bad sung by Lyn, but the content has nothing to do with it.It is a comforting song, "The brokenness under the impact hides your hardness" is the theme of the song, people are weak in some things and strong in some things, this is a very common thing, not a matter of principle If you back down, you don't have to generalize.

"Apologize" also had the same name as a famous song by timbnd, but this song was written as a hip-hop argumentative essay. Although the tone was not so aggressive, the content was not generally sharp.He didn't say "What do you need the police to do if an apology is useful?" What he said was "Apologize with the sincerity of apologizing. Only after paying the price for what you did wrong and giving compensation can you have the nerve to ask for forgiveness. Don't think about just saying a word to end the matter. Victims at least do not have the obligation to forgive you if you say you know your mistake." ——In view of the fact that artists almost have to stop work for anything they commit, Li Yuanzhu is very suspicious of the direction of "apologize".

The most amazing brain hole is "Brave New World".In the famous dystopian novel created by Aldous Huxley, people are controlled by pleasure, and Zheng Zhiyong chose a perspective to properly cut into transformation to describe the current information age.The information that people can obtain has greatly increased. This seems to be a manifestation of freedom, but people's thoughts can still be controlled. Using more news to divert attention from previous events is especially useful for people who are particularly forgetful in the information age. It can be seen from the well-known status quo that when there is a political scandal in South Korea, the entertainment industry will follow.

But the most exciting content is the song included in it, "Six relatives do not agree with each other, there is filial piety".
