Thinker in the entertainment industry

After the exciting headline, detailed news came out one after another.

On the evening of May 5, I drank three bottles of soju with my friends, chatted for an hour, went to another place together, sat for another two hours, and drove my Mercedes-Benz to leave. At 23:0.157 in the morning, I was in front of a convenience store in Sinsadong He hit a street light and left the scene afterwards. After the police test, the blood alcohol concentration was [-]%, which obviously exceeded the standard for the suspension of the driver's license.

It's not forced, it's not that I only drank a little, it's not that I don't have money to find a substitute driver, from any angle, there is nothing worthy of forgiveness and consideration.

The attitude of netizens can be imagined.They revisited Zheng Zhiyong's "Story", but they couldn't find any reason to excuse Qiangren. What's even more frightening was that they compared secretly in their hearts, and found that the real Lee Dong-gil and the Lee Min-ho in the MV seemed like It should be better, because they still have the commonalities of "first offender", "reluctant at first but then failed", and "paying a huge price". Qiangren is better than them, that is, they only bumped into street lights and have no personnel. A little more casualties.

The bad comments were overwhelming, and even spread to teammates. Kim Heechul shut down his social homepage that day because of the smog in the comment area. Zheng Zhiyong was not scolded, but the comment area of ​​​​Ins is full of questions about your ex-senior drunk driving you He also had the urge to log out of his account if he felt something.

What do I think?I am also very embarrassed.

Qiangren was scolded so badly, Zheng Zhiyong can't say that there is no "story" factor. The critique of "Story" is not strong, and the central idea boils down to "lucky psychology harms others and oneself". Unfortunately, Qiangren just happened to bump into the only lucky psychology that was vigorously criticized in "Story". The love listed in "Story" has But none of the original situation was touched, plus I was fined once for drunk driving before, so I had to "reflect" on military service for this, and I was suspected of fleeing after the accident - I just drove away, thinking like this , it is easy to draw the conclusion that "Kangin is worse than Lee Dong-gil and Lee Min-ho except that it does not cause serious consequences".What's more, the influence of "Story" is so great. The persuasion behavior of ordinary people and even the behavior of drunk driving have been reduced due to the trend. The national requirements for artists are far stricter than ordinary people. Mistake?There is a negative comment with high praise on the Internet: When we praised the influence of "Story", thinker said that not everyone can be changed, and he must be talking about Qiangren.

No!I had no idea at the time that an artist would commit crimes in such a short period of time!

Even if he wasn't scolding him, Zheng Zhiyong still didn't feel much better when he saw the bunch of comments on the Internet that speculated on his thoughts and even spoke for him.

"Without your 'Story,' the outcome would not have been much different."

Zheng Junying hugged the guitar, leaned against the wall behind him casually, and said.

Zheng Zhiyong went to China on the 25th, and arranged a "date" with Zheng Junying on the 24th to discuss how to combine bad with other styles. "Story" came out a month ago and pointed out that Qiangren drunk driving really made Zheng Zhiyong very upset, but it hasn't reached the point of breaking the appointment because of it.

"With my "Story", I will definitely be one of the reasons." Zheng Zhiyong replied.

"I sympathize with you." Zheng Junying said.

"Didn't you record a show with him? Tell me honestly, how did it feel?"

What Zheng Zhiyong is talking about is the variety show "Hitmaker" that has just finished broadcasting. From the name, it looks like the third season of the extra episode "Hit Maker" of "Idol of the Week". In fact, this is a main "travel" produced by jtbc. In the program "Sports and Sports", Jung Joon Young and Kang In, 2am member Jung Jin Woon, and model Lee Cheol Woo starred together.

"Not bad senior," Zheng Junying answered honestly, "but it doesn't affect other questions."

He answered honestly, and the turning point afterwards was also very frank.Man is a very complex creature, and it is not unrealistic to have any shortcomings. The question is what kind of shortcomings are there and whether they are within the tolerable range.

"I wasn't very familiar with him in the past, and my impressions were good or bad. This time... I can only hide from the reporters."

"If you say your opinion to the outside world, it will offend fans, right?"

"There is also the issue of the identities of the seniors and juniors. Even if this is not considered, it is not good for colleagues to speak ill of each other." It is normal for artists to be scolded by the public when they commit crimes, but it is very rare for artists to condemn each other. Things that are intolerable in the eyes of ordinary people may not be a big mistake in the eyes of entertainers, such as stealing and playing tricks on military service. Will it come back.

Zheng Junying deeply felt the same: "I always think you are a rapper, and I almost forgot that you are an artist in essence."

"I still think you're a rocker," Zheng Zhiyong retorted, "Even if you're a rapper, diss behaviors are limited to within the circle, scolding people who have nothing to do with hip-hop will be looked down upon."

"My fault", Zheng Junying raised his hands in surrender, because the guitar was still in his arms, he only raised his left arm, and turned his right palm upwards, meaning, "Then what if you didn't dodge it?"

"For example?" Zheng Zhiyong intends to be an ostrich this time, what's the use of opening his mouth at this time?It doesn't make any sense except to make him offend more people.

"Snlkorea?"

Zheng Zhiyong: "Hehe."

This tvn-produced [-]-ban variety show dares to ridicule everything, including but not limited to the artists on the show. Whether Zheng Zhiyong's "slap in the face" this time will become the material of the show is really a bit uncertain.

On the front foot, I wrote a hit song with great influence to persuade everyone not to drink and drive, but there is a senior on the back foot...

"You don't have to worry about SNL," Zheng Junying said, "The key is, if someone in the industry like me asks you what you think, how would you answer?"

This is indeed a problem, Zheng Zhiyong cannot guarantee that everyone he meets will be sensible and will not do things that embarrass him.Anyway, since there is no guarantee, and gossip spreads very quickly in the circle, Zheng Zhiyong must prepare a set of arguments.

He thought for a while: "If you don't understand, don't comment. What kind of things you do, just bear the corresponding consequences."

"Good answer." Zheng Junying said with a smile.

His response made Zheng Zhiyong feel a little more relaxed. Zheng Junying looks crazy, but he has a good balance between his own chicness and the perception of outsiders. Zheng Zhiyong's position is limited, so it is difficult to evaluate himself objectively. It's good to hear other people's opinions.

As for his position... People who have dealt with him and are close to him, such as Zheng Junying, should not be difficult to guess, but the crux of the problem is that Zheng Zhiyong can't speak directly, he can only find someone who sounds Not so hypocritical answer.

First, he endured great pain because of drunk driving, and then with a heart of striving to reduce tragedies, he took risks to do difficult but not necessarily pleasing things, telling everyone earnestly not to harm others or himself, which is rare in "Story" With very good results, it turned out that he was slapped in the face just a month after it came out. It's no wonder Zheng Zhiyong is in a good mood.

In particular, the effect of "Story" is so good not only because it touched many people, but another important reason is that everyone does not know how much it affects others. Whether it is drunk driving or persuading others in front of others, There will always be scruples, thinking that after this slap in the face, some people will think that "Story" is nothing more than this, so as to let go of the shame of violating the rules earlier, Zheng Zhiyong's long-silent anger almost exploded again.

Netizens feel that there is no room for forgiveness and understanding in the matter of Qiangren, in fact, Zheng Zhiyong also thinks so.

And he can't say it.

Zheng Junying is a very discerning person. After he gave Zheng Zhiyong a small reassurance, he saw that they had a lot of conflicts in rock and roll—the problem was mainly Zheng Zhiyong, he was not interested in rock and roll at all. Zhiyong simply suggested that it is better to do something that both parties are interested in.

For example, bad, and Zheng Zhiyong's current topic of "what kind of songs are suitable for Chinese and Korean singers to sing together in China".

In terms of bad, Zheng Zhiyong and Zheng Junying's ideas are actually very different. Zheng Zhiyong wrote lyrical songs, mainly due to the strong influence of r;&b and jazz. The released and very popular "Common Feeling" has a bit of rock color, which is determined by their preference and also affected by the voice condition. Zheng Junying's voice is low and deep, while Zheng Zhiyong's vocal cords In contrast, it is much thinner, and it also expresses sadness. One of them is desolate and desolate alone, drinking one cup after another of bitter wine until the sky is dark, and the other is the loneliness and sadness that gradually emerges in the stability and peace.

Different ideas are different, at least one or two can be discussed.Zheng Zhiyong showed Zheng Junying the "theend" he wrote after attending the iu concert, and got a comment of "I think of "Common Feeling"".

Zheng Zhiyong didn't know whether he said good things or bad things: "What kind of song do you think "Common Feeling" is?"

"A song that expresses my true feelings." Jung Joon Young said.

Zheng Zhiyong's mind automatically played the bgm of "Although we both think about painful things, but even the memories of the past have disappeared now", he narrowed his eyes: "Break up?"

"Are you so direct?" Zheng Junying choked for a moment, he was a person who came and went, and immediately refuted it back.

"'I did something irreversible from the very beginning'", "Common Feeling" is a song by Zheng Junying, Xu Yingen is the female vocal feat, Zheng Zhiyong first sang a line of Xu Yingen's libretto, and then "has no good intentions" asked, "Who did the irreparable?"

Jung Joon Young: "I explained the problem, can you tell me who the 'unkind woman' is?"

"No."

It's iu, so I can't tell you.

"So straightforward, the target is an artist?"

"You're not too straightforward... the target is an ordinary person?"

The two stared at each other, no, their eyes were about the same size. Anyway, they "stalemate" for a while, and then conceded at the same time.

"Meeting a piranha for the first time in love, you are not that miserable." Zheng Junying started to guess first.

Zheng Zhiyong: "What do you think?"

"If it's really that miserable, you're too calm."

"The answer is correct," Zheng Zhiyong said, "People who want to get close are more difficult to get close to than I imagined, that's all."

"That's all? Then I'm not as good as you."

There was a bit of bitterness in Zheng Junying's smile, and Zheng Zhiyong couldn't control himself and began to guess: "Synchronism is about an unhappy breakup?"

"Very unpleasant," Jung Joon Young said, "When filming "Two Days, One Night" and went to Ewha Womans University, everyone was asked to share some of their feelings with the students. What I told the girls was that I am not suitable for a relationship."

He has always been unrestrained and fearless, although the heaviness shown now is not so obvious, but because it is so rare, it is surprising enough, Zheng Zhiyong was surprised and stuck: "You... ...Isn't it the first time you've been in love, are you only thinking about it now?"

"Because I used to get together and part ways, and we could still be friends after we separated, but this time it left hurt. It's not like this, and I won't reflect on myself." Zheng Junying put the guitar aside, crossed Erlang's legs, and As he said that, his fingers began to tremble restlessly, "As a 'senior', maybe I can give you some guidance...Well, can I have a cigarette?"
