Thinker in the entertainment industry

Zheng Zhiyong watched the mv again when someone was waiting for his supper, and when he came to vixx fans, he watched it dozens of times and tens of times.What's more, they play the mv over and over again, and watch it by themselves while swiping the playback volume of youtube. vixx started with a dark line, although the MV of "Escape" has a brighter tone than before and a deeper chill in the bones than before, fans have shown good adaptability.

The story this time is not brain-burning at all, but the content is not superficial either.The theme of the story is a bit like the movie "The Matrix". People are more willing to live in the beautiful illusion constructed by others, or to be themselves soberly and hard in reality, but "The Matrix" is a pure "brain in a vat" ", the mv put on the coat of "time travel", and added the original friendship of leo, n, and Li Hongbin, and the friendship between Li Hongbin and the characters after entering the world in the painting. The taste of the fan base.

Fans who are too young do not have a deep understanding of "self", and may not understand why Li Hongbin in the MV is unwilling to live in the world that Leo has constructed and adjusted for him, and even voluntarily gave up his hard-won life. The average age of vixx's fans is not as high as Zheng Zhiyong's, but it's not too low, and the impact of this can be ignored.Fans of this age in other families are also very interested in the MV of "Escape". In a certain period of time, in the same circle, life may be different, but there are commonalities in aesthetics.

The song itself has also received a good response, the group member ra|vi's self-composed song is naturally very suitable for fans when returning to the title song, as far as the quality of the song is concerned, ra|vi and Zheng Zhiyong are particularly good at writing songs that are pleasing to the ear People who listen to it are strong, and those who have heard it have nothing to say, just like the title song "beautifulliar" of the team that was praised by Zheng Zhiyong last year.

— The question is how many people will listen.

The difference in orientation between the rice circle and the general public is particularly evident in boy groups. The famous song "ineedu" of BTS did not enter the top [-] of the year's music source list. Not so good, this time "Escape" is also not immune, and the good response is limited to the fan circle.

Why did Zheng Zhiyong know?After staying up all night, he slept past noon, and when he got up, he read the comments and the music list.The fans have given it a lot of praise, and the sound source has continued the usual diving route. In the early morning, fans can get two or three charts, and when everyone wakes up at noon and listens to the song, it starts to go down all the way. Now the charts The list fell to the top ten.In the final analysis, the performance of the sound source depends on the public. If you want to rely on fans to get popular, it is impossible to do it without exo's level of popularity.

The top ten on the music list are almost all old faces. The ost of "Descendants of the Sun" still occupies almost half of the country, and Zheng Zhiyong's "London Coachman" and "apologize" are also "old and strong" - Zheng Zhiyong and Li Xicheng After the public quarrel, someone discovered that Zheng Zhiyong's attitude was partly reflected in "apologize", and the song came back to life. In addition, blockb returned to the main song "toy" after a year and a half, The indie band 10cm represents "Do You Like Spring" which represents singles cursing young couples. The latest is Jung Eun Ji's solo hit "Hope Sky" released the day before.

"Blockb has finally made its mark. Zico's activities last year had some effect, but in 2014, the sound sources of "jackpot" and "her" were also very good." When Zheng Zhiyong and ra|vi were chatting with kakao, they talked about My own view on the status quo, "It is not an easy process for the music of boy groups to be recognized by the public. One song is not enough. You don't think I am shirking responsibility?"

"Isn't it my responsibility?" ra|vi can tell what is an excuse and what is a discussion problem, "I understand, blockb's 2012 regular album is already very good, although the results are not as good as the current songs , but they create a sense of trust in the audience".

"Yes." Zheng Zhiyong said.He has witnessed how Zico gradually found a way to achieve a balance between hip-hop and pop music, popularity and artistry, and he was also amazed at the high quality of the album called "blockbuster".Although there is no one, and it takes two months to climb into the top 2015 of the year's chart, it is not a big hit, but it, together with the previous "nanrina", constitutes the cornerstone of the public's music trust in blockb. blockb has become one of the rare male groups with good music performance, how could Zico's one-year activity in [-] be able to create it?

"Actually, there is another route. The entire YG company advertises 'artistic' and focuses on sound sources. Listeners will also feel trust when they see the label 'yg', but the feasibility is relatively low." The boy group took the sound source line and became popular It's too difficult. Few companies can afford energy consumption, so it's safer to be a multi-circle fan.

"Senior blockb's route is also difficult to copy. It is not easy to receive good songs. I still have a lot of shortcomings." ra|vi said.

blockb has a master like zico, and can produce and sell it on its own. Even yg can take the route of music powerhouse without Teddy's support. vixx has enough fans now and doesn't worry about the economic foundation, but there is no one Sufficient level producers have cooperated for a long time, but the superstructure still cannot be built.

"There is still a question of time. If it is not impossible, it really takes patience to take this road that may be thankless."

"Our company wants to have a longer-term development, if we can always have good quality works."

A new message popped up on kakao's chat interface, and ra|vi was a little impatient.

Zheng Zhiyong has a deep love for idols, he is well-known, and his creative ability is not bad. Although Zheng Zhiyong is more focused on the concept of the title song when vixx returns this time, he is perfecting and revising the song "Escape" During the process, Zheng Zhiyong did put forward a lot of good suggestions.If he is interested in creating an idol group whose music quality is trusted by the public, why not cooperate?Anyway, it is not easy for vixx to gain fans and lose fans. It is beneficial and harmless to improve the quality of music while following the concept idol route.If he didn't have the heart to go on for a long time, what was he doing so hard to create, and why did he go to the Shura field of "showmethemoney"?

Think about what Zheng Zhiyong said just now, although the standard of "Escape" is not a famous song, but if the quality of every previous comeback is the same, vixx's current sound source will be much better.

This kind of transformation is beneficial and harmless to vixx, but not necessarily to Zheng Zhiyong. His current route is going fairly smoothly. There is no need to rely too closely on the direction of an idol producer. As a creator, he can continue with his inspiration Activities, there is no need to rush for a while. ra|vi even felt that Zheng Zhiyong might have said a few words on the spur of the moment, not necessarily because of his great desire.

However, he himself was tempted first.

This time, Zheng Zhiyong didn't reply for a long time, and ra|vi took out his mobile phone to look at the chat interface again, and there was still no change, so he couldn't help but worry secretly.Zheng Zhiyong was just talking to him about the idea he just had, whether it will be possible or not, but he himself was teased first.

Just thinking about it, the image on the phone screen suddenly changed.A message from Zheng Zhiyong popped up in the chat interface, but the content was a bit thoughtless - "I'm sorry."

What does it mean?

ra|vi was wondering, Zheng Zhiyong's next message popped up again: "I have something to do, sorry."

Then there was silence again.

what happened?

r□□i exited the chat interface with a stomach full of question marks, and casually checked social media to see if anything new happened...

"Zhang Xiansheng quit beast."

Ra|vi looked at the news posted by him, and a feeling called "uneasy" rose in his heart.

Zheng Zhiyong is not just "uneasy".

After seeing the news, Zheng Zhiyong has been in a state of hypoxia, weakness, and arrhythmia. The new mobile phone that took office after his predecessor was hit by the screen because of Li Xicheng seemed to be heavy for a moment, and he came out of his hand. The free fall made close contact with the ground, leaving a long crack, and it took Zheng Zhiyong a long time to bow slowly and pick it up.

This is not April Fool's Day, and Cube will not joke about members leaving the team. Zheng Zhiyong has no strength to be surprised, or puzzled and angry. Every breath and heartbeat of his affects great sadness and sadness.

Zhang Xiansheng left Beast when the public opinion was most unfavorable to him. This is an unchangeable fact.

He remembered how he helped Yong Junhyung arrange and change the Japanese lyrics when he was in Cube, racked his brains over the question of who would sing which part was suitable, and remembered the twists and turns when making a solo album for Zhang Xiansheng, from the embarrassment at the beginning to the recognition under the polite appearance , I remembered that before "Infinite Challenge" he chose "midnight" as the song he sang at his debut and practiced silently, he remembered the night when he entered the police station Zhang Xiansheng appeared, he remembered that scene that made him uncontrollably uneasy and sad that he was on the spot "Beautifulshow" in tears, I think of Zhang Xiansheng's declarative education about "reality" to him, I think of his unwillingness to explain the reasons, Yoon Doojoon's balance and consideration, Zhang Xiansheng's stubbornness and restraint, I think of their achievement. Overriding the common desire and trying to realize it, the more I think about it, the more I feel heartbreaking.

Zheng Zhiyong once held hope and thought that he could see a reasonable result, but the development of the matter was worse than expected. Zheng Zhiyong's feeling was far more than simple loss.He sat holding the phone for an unknown amount of time, and finally lowered his head and dialed Fang Jihe's number. His neck bent very slowly, and he seemed to hear a "click" sound from the cervical vertebrae.

Zheng Zhiyong didn't care, he knew he was hallucinating.

"Hello, I'm Zheng Zhiyong." After answering the phone, Zheng Zhiyong said bluntly, "I have to ask you for some things during this time."

"What?" Zheng Zhiyong had never talked to him like this before. Fang Jihe was frightened, and his voice changed when he answered.

"If it's not very important, don't let me see people these days. I said 'very important' to the extent that if I don't do it, I will be finished."

Fang Jihe was tongue-tied, and after a while he stammered, "K-K...your mv..."

"Is there anything else I must do?" Zheng Zhiyong said, "My mood is unstable. To put it bluntly, it is to prevent innocent people from being affected, and to put it bluntly, it is to prevent me from offending others. I still need to explain. What?"

"No need", Fang Jihe remembered that before Zheng Zhiyong signed with CJ because he found out that Zico's manager was drunk and driving on the street, he couldn't help being shocked, "Okay, I will deal with anything, your condition is back Say it to me."Zheng Zhiyong is right in saying that there is indeed nothing that Zheng Zhiyong must personally fight for the time being. Fang Jihe can naturally make a choice whether to release Zheng Zhiyong who is in an unstable state or do more by himself.

"Well, thank you."

Zheng Zhiyong hung up the phone after answering, Fang Jihe looked at the words "call ended" on the screen, and couldn't relax.

If it was normal, Zheng Zhiyong would definitely say something like "I'm sorry to trouble you, I'll treat you after the incident" to convey enough apology and gratitude, instead of being so concise and pale as it is now.It can be seen that Zheng Zhiyong's condition is really very bad, but how did this happen?Why doesn't he know anything about it as an agent?

Fang Jihe was confused.

Fang Jihyuk quietly inquired around, hoping to know what caused Zheng Zhiyong such a big stimulus and blow, and Zheng Zhiyong sat there for a long time after explaining to Fang Jihe, and finally dialed Zhang Xiansheng's number , the voice trembled.

"Brother, I'm sorry, I came to look for you at this time, and I want to hear you tell me what... what happened."
