Thinker in the entertainment industry

"As you can see, we 'betrayed' the brave Erduanhu."

Vixx's captain n faced the camera in a very guilty and nervous state.

"It can't be said that, although we were established because of the brave Erdan Tigers, no one stipulated that we can only sing songs written by them."

jackson of got7 said confidently that n, who has the nickname of "big mother", took a nagging and a bit "weak" route, especially when facing Zheng Hengdon and defconn, who took pleasure in "bullying the captain", he did not It's different, Jackson, who flexibly uses his identity as a "foreigner", has always been enthusiastic and fearless in the show.

"I should be the most nervous."

Lu Xingcai smiled wryly, his expression was calm and sad.

In the second season of "Hit Maker", the "Brave Two-stage Tiger" formed by the host Zheng Hengdun and defconn continued their journey as producers, but the results were obviously not satisfactory. The response of bigbottle in the second season was still It’s not as good as the first season. In the second half, it was replaced by the “female version of bigbottle” composed of solo singer g.na, 4minute’s Kwon So-hyun, afterschool’s lizzy, and kara’s Xu Yingzhi—real girls, and the response was not as good as the previous guests. .

So, at the end of the second season of "Hit Maker", the members of bigbottle asked "Is the brave second-stage tiger reliable?" Lu Xingcai said at this time:

That... I know a producer who has a song that seems like a good fit for us.

The other three: Then go and see!

Jung Hyung-don;&defconn: You, you, you, you, you want to rebel, right?

bigbottle: No way, your level is a bit unreliable.

Jung Hyung-don; & defconn (out of breath): The problem is obviously you, you!How could we possibly have a problem?

The host was so angry that he was hurt internally, and the bigbottle members who had been "oppressed" by the host and producer for two seasons were excited and nervous to find a new producer.

The above is the content captured by the footage of "Hit Maker" before the four of bigbottle came to Zheng Zhiyong's studio.

"Please come in."

With a low but warm magnetic voice, Lu Xingcai opened the door and called out "Brother" to the person inside who was sitting on a swivel chair with his back to the camera.

"It's agreed, you can't show your face", the back of the head is still left for the camera, with a brisk, young voice that clearly conveys the embarrassment of the person concerned, "I'm sorry, I'm rude".

"Then can we take a look?" Han Sang Hyuk said with a smile.

Variety shows can be regarded as acting in another sense.Those hilarious "accidents" or "flashes of inspiration" on the show are often behind the long-term racking of the brains of the show writers and variety artists, and these are often unspeakable-it is meaningless to say it up.So Han Sang Hyuk would not say that he had already met Zheng Zhiyong and made up some lessons in advance, but pretended to be meeting for the first time.

"Oh, yes." As soon as Zheng Zhiyong finished speaking, N and Jackson, who were full of curiosity, moved over to have a glimpse of the real face, followed by Han Sang Hyuk.

Three seconds later, the three of them said in unison: "It's fine if you don't show your face, but if he shows his face, he will steal our limelight."

Lu Xingcai looked proud: "My brother is the most handsome in our company."

"Lu Xingcai, an artist from a company, are you sorry to say that the one who teaches foreign languages ​​is the most handsome?" Zheng Zhiyong, who turned his back to the camera, lowered his head and supported his forehead, and smiled helplessly.

Now it's Lu Xingcai's turn to introduce in detail: "Brother thinker is Cube's teacher in charge of teaching foreign languages ​​to the trainees, and is also engaged in music creation."

Zheng Zhiyong interrupted: "You can support yourself by working a few more jobs."

Lu Xingcai: I want to give everyone more confidence, can you stop tearing things down!

Zheng Zhiyong, who only plays with his voice and always only shows a back view, is not very witty when he speaks. He behaves a little jerky, and considering that he is not an artist, this jerky is not very annoying ,not to mention--

Just listening to the sound is enough!

The new female writer ran to see Zheng Zhiyong's appearance out of curiosity before recording, and then fell into "this looks better than at least 90% of the idols who don't want to show their faces, you want to be on camera, we can have more topics ", but in the end, this kind of remnant was replaced by thoughts such as "it's okay to be a teacher if you have such a voice!" One thought after another was constantly screened and corrected by her.

Next.

Why did rap say it so well... Before shooting, he said that there was no need to give him too many shots, but now the focus is on him, what should I do...

The pd who was in charge of filming the program was also thinking a lot. He secretly guessed the relationship between Cube and the producer named Thinker, but Cube's attitude was too vague and ambiguous, and he couldn't be sure.Now pd has a new idea: is Cube also operating rapper?The information I heard is that this thinker is active with aomg in the underground, but with his appearance... a mainstream debut is also possible.

Isn't the cube exploring the way?

"myway, ornoway, obeyoraway, youcouldstay, iwon'tbetray, don't want to argue, right or wrong."

Producer Zheng Zhiyong went to the battle in person and demonstrated it to the four singers around him.His voice is soft and full of confidence, speaking fast, but with a wonderful sense of laziness, indifferent or even a little careless voice, blended with the self-confidence that is taken for granted.The first time the person's ear was firmly grasped - using the hook - it was still comfortable.

PD recalled Zheng Zhiyong's voice when he spoke just now, even if he is not an expert, he can still feel that this rap is unusual.Even if the innate timbre is great, if a rapper has the ability to rap without accompaniment or singing and fascinate people who are usually not interested in hip-hop, hip-hop will not still be "towards the mainstream". marching" status.

PD shook his head, putting aside the idea of ​​"conspiracy theory" in his mind for the time being, even if Zheng Zhiyong's level is average, the program team has always cooperated closely with Cube, and this level of use is acceptable.But judging from the level shown by Zheng Zhiyong, what he needs to consider is another thing:

Zheng Zhiyong won't steal the limelight too much, right?

The answer is of course no. If the scissorhands of the production team can't even "reasonably highlight personal characteristics", how can they blame the guests for not controlling their abilities?

But no matter whether Zheng Zhiyong is to be the central figure or not, it is necessary to express his rap ability. "Really let us come?" N asked with some uncertainty.

"Otherwise?" Zheng Zhiyong gave him a strange look.

"Brother said it himself is very good." Lu Xingcai helped explain.

"It's strange that I can rap better than you." Zheng Zhiyong, who understood it, laughed directly. What he said was very frank and natural, but without a trace of arrogance. The rapper's strength is better than the bigbottle composed of an idolrapper who can't speak Korean well and three sub-vocalists who are not even idolrappers. The stage... As for rap, hard skills and suitability are two different things, I have a little confidence."

Han Sang-hyuk nodded while listening, and was poked quietly by N before he came back to his senses and did not write "I agree" on his face.

"Hit Maker" has limited time for bigbottle to "rebel" this time, and "rebellion" is the theme again. The program team doesn't plan to shoot too many scenes of work. It's rather boring. Let's take this as the highlight and the song will respond when the time comes If it is not good, it becomes self-slapping.

but……

A person who doesn't ask for care, doesn't even show his face, and can crazily create a sense of presence with his voice, even though pd is well-informed, he can't help but feel very fresh.

In addition to freshness, he also has a happy trouble:

How should I edit it then?

The five people who are working in full swing can't understand PD's troubles at all. The four members of bigbottle, except for Han Sang Hyuk, the other three have a lot of schedules. It is not easy to find time to record the program, and the practice time is even more tight.Zheng Zhiyong watched their performance in "Hit Maker" before and made some preparations. Even so, the atmosphere was still tense and sparks were flying during the recording.There is no way, there is too little time left for them, and the psychological state of the members is not suitable for the confidence and calmness of "mywayornoway".

"In this way", Zheng Zhiyong, who is urgent and nervous, and has a good ability to control his emotions at work, also unknowingly became serious. He asked n for advice, "You can use the flow now, isn't it? ?”

He originally thought that a style was okay from beginning to end, but when it came to n, he still felt a little awkward.

n nodded.

Zheng Zhiyong took out his mobile phone, activated the recording function, and stuck his throat a little to make his voice thinner.

Then, he read his part in an n tone, and handed over the phone: "I hope it can be used as a reference."

N was stunned: "Can you say rap in a different tone?" This is a completely different feeling from Zheng Zhiyong's demonstration just now, and both feelings are quite good. n is not very interested in hip-hop, and he has just started rap because of recording programs, but at least he knows that the level of appreciation of a bunch of laymen present just by "feeling" is definitely not ordinary people.

I should have heard of it even if it is an underground activity, right?Now that hip-hop is going mainstream, good underground rappers can at least get their names known. n Temporarily forget the fact that Zheng Zhiyong's appearances in the underground are pitifully rare.

Zheng Zhiyong bowed his head and smiled guiltily: "I haven't fully explored my potential in flow." In addition to the huge potential, Zheng Zhiyong's excavation speed seems to need to be accelerated...

n, jackson, Lu Xingcai, and Zheng Zhiyong are all speeding up to sharpen their guns. After discussing with Zheng Zhiyong early, Han Sang-hyuk, who has been practicing for the past few days, is going very smoothly. When n went to record, he picked up Zheng Zhiyong's mobile phone, listened to Zheng Zhiyong's recording with one ear, and listened to the live broadcast of his captain's rap with the other ear.

As a result, when he was about to quit the playback after listening to it, he slipped his hand and clicked on the playback record. Han Sanghe glanced down and saw a bunch of unfamiliar names: "You wrote these?" He guessed.

Guess is correct. "Well, it's still in the stage of perfection." Zheng Zhiyong said without hesitation calling Jackson to record.

"The name is quite distinctive." Han Sang-hyuk didn't click on it, and could only look at the song title comment displayed on the screen, "Allergic reaction? Do you have allergies?"

"Could it be lactose intolerance?" Lu Xingcai interjected while looking at his lyrics.

"Not lactose intolerant."

Zheng Zhiyong walked over and asked Han Sang-hyuk for his mobile phone back. He was still expressionless and looked no different from when he was working hard just now, but his aura had changed from a serious but friendly one to a calm one. gloomy and low.

"It's buckwheat".

He was silent for a moment and said.
