Thinker in the entertainment industry

"Are you sure?" said Jay Park who finally left the album-related activities and came to New York, "Do you want me to read the English words for you?"

Zheng Zhiyong and Park Jae-bum have completely different tastes in music, and it seems that they can cooperate with each other in English words. No matter how high Zheng Zhiyong's foreign language level is, English is not his mother tongue after all.

"The theme of the song for the game is nothing special. Since it is a battle royale game, I will say that the environment is such a world where there is no choice but to kill the last one."

"It's not like what you would say," Jay Park said, "I always thought that even if you were thrown into that environment, you wouldn't do it with peace of mind."

"I can feel at ease, but I know my goal is to survive and not enjoy killing, so I will still be sad", Zheng Zhiyong said softly, "As for the people in this environment, I can't just condemn them casually, just like ...Just like what is happening in Korea right now, I can't evaluate it from a moral point of view."

It's hard to say who is noble and who is low, let alone the means. Zheng Zhiyong was caught in the middle of the two factions and suffered a lot of disasters.But after a period of time, Zheng Zhiyong's thinking is no longer simply "Why do you have to involve me in your affairs", but more and more agrees with the corruption of power on human nature.For the Central Daily with the opposition party standing behind the scenes, dragging CJ down to share the firepower is of course much better than fighting alone. As for the person in charge of monitoring, it is found that the senior opposition CJ may make trouble again. Can you bet that the old enemy will not plan this time? Taking advantage of the situation and not being the first to attack?Even CJ's role in it is difficult to determine, Zheng Zhiyong can't guarantee whether CJ really wants to get involved, and the "misunderstanding" that happened to him just became a cover-up.

The competition for power and interests between giants is essentially no different from "Battle Royale", except that there is no clear-cut statement that "only one can survive". You can get what you want, but abide by the principle but you can only get failure. Who wants to be a loser?

Park Jay Fan smiled, but his expression was completely different from when he was outside: "Then don't mention the means, just talk about the purpose?"

"It's even more difficult to evaluate. I can't say that the one at the Blue House is an outstanding politician. She is far worse than her father in evil, but her contribution is far worse." There are countless blood debts under her men, and she was hated by the whole people when she died. The "Miracle of the Han River" created at the same time has been missed by people for decades. That is not an ordinary ability. Are non-serving aides really a new thing? Of course, the focus of the protest is the president’s collusion with outsiders for corruption and profit. First, the whole people protested, and then it should be impeachment. Once the impeachment is successful, they must be guilty.”

One side did not commit any major evils or good deeds, even if she was re-elected, she did not want her to be re-elected, while the other side incited public opinion and magnified problems that were not serious at first.

"Do you understand people's sorrow?" Park Jae-beom said with a half-smile.

"No, people naturally have a position. When people think that a certain person is in power, they will cause harm to themselves or are about to cause harm to themselves, they will naturally stand against it. If I am not first praised as a target, I will only be picked on by the Blue House. In other words, seeing the current scene, I might feel very happy. Neither side treats me very well, and I am a neutral position." Zheng Zhiyong said, ""Infinite Challenge" must keep up with the pace of the times and be a The special that connects hip-hop and history must actually reflect reality. I am a little thankful for the little trouble at the end of September, so I don’t have to speak now. I dare not say it, and I don’t want to say it.”

It's not that Zheng Zhiyong has never sang against the people, but last year's attack on him was originally a wave of people who liked to attack people on the Internet. Zheng Zhiyong has solid evidence. This time Zheng Zhiyong suspected and contradicted the current situation, but I can't be sure that I must be right, so what can I say?

"Are you going to express your political views, which one do you plan to support in the US election?"

Jay Park gave him a slightly surprised look: "I thought you forgot that I'm an American."

"Sometimes I forget it in South Korea," Jung Ji-yong said with a smile, "After arriving in the United States, the atmosphere of the general election is very strong."Then he remembered that Jay Park's votes were used to elect the President of the United States.

"I originally supported Sanders," Jay Park said. "He lost the election in the party, so I have no idea. Whichever I choose seems to have a lot of disadvantages, just like you."

"So let's look at the lyrics first."

Zheng Zhiyong's voice was as warm and warm as the winter sun, but when he started to read the lyrics, it turned into a cold and cruel voice that blended with blood and fire:

"this is survival of the fit test, this is door die. they tell the winner takes sit all, the only i want is survival."

"This is the chorus part, what about Korean?" Jay Park asked.

"It's a world of survival of the fittest, stay or die. They say the winner gets it all, I'm not going to die so easily."

"The game is called PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, right?" Jay Park said, "It's a bit like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds at the end of the world."

"Listen to rap again?"

"wasn'treadytobeamillionaire, ihadbeenwhileyouwereprepared.ihadtoppreparetobeillthoughtheskillwasthere.fromthebeginningitwasn'tabouttheends, itwasaboutbustingdreamsandstandingforsomethingfuckjusticeising."

"When I rap in English, my rhyme performance will be better, and you will become more hardcore." Park Jae-bum said with a smile, "There is also a Korean version, right?"

"You want to be rich and rich? I'm enjoying it and you're still preparing. I even dare to walk into the Jedi because it's far beyond your ability. Don't think it's time, it's just the beginning, the trash ruined the dream Pretending to have faith fuck justice is only late."

"It's much better to use Korean, but it may not be suitable for games." Hearing Zheng Zhiyong's cold sarcasm, Park Jae-bum commented seriously, and then he asked a little hesitantly, "Do you want to add more content to the content?" something?"

"I won't insinuate anything, just vent my negative emotions. 'I' is a person who already has a lot of people who have stepped into the Shura field. This should still be written." Zheng Zhiyong said, "Arrangement and English, keep working hard."

"You are worthy of reassurance." Zheng Zhiyong will not make obvious insinuations in the song for others. If you will be picked on if you vent your emotions, it is because someone deliberately wants to mess with him. Like this time, Zheng Zhiyong and Zheng Junying It's the same as if it's related to other things, since it's deliberate, it doesn't make much sense to be cautious in the lyrics.

As a singer who has left his idol status and been recognized by the hip-hop circle, and is still quite famous in the mainstream, Jay Park's schedule has always been very full.This time I came to the United States for work, and after arriving at the hotel, I chatted with Zheng Zhiyong about the next plan and lost the jet lag, so we went to meet people from rocnation.

Jay-z, Rocnation's boss, not only knows how to rap and write songs, but also is good at management.Not only has he become popular with well-known singers such as Rihanna, but sideline businesses have also blossomed everywhere.Signing with Jay Park does not require labor. He personally came forward, but the boss is a superstar, and the company has superstars. It is not easy for rocnation to add new people. One of the company's powerful figures, senior vice president Lenny Santiago, came forward .

Perhaps it is difficult for people who have been with artists for a long time to maintain a meticulous style, and the meeting place is set at a bar. Lenny Santiago joked at the first sight of Zheng Zhiyong: "Lawyers shouldn't find such Young people, let alone such beautiful ones, jay, I know a few experienced ones, do you want to contact them? I will give you a discount."

Zheng Zhiyong's hair was all down, and his bangs were paired with his face, which was originally clear and beautiful. It is not an exaggeration to say "beautiful".Hearing Lenny's words, he just smiled slightly. The dim light of the bar and the black coat on his body didn't damage his complexion at all, but made his complexion even more picturesque: "If Jay is thinking of hiring a lawyer, he doesn't even dare Contact the person introduced by Mr. Santiago."

The two of them met each other with smiles on their faces. In the end, Lenny spoke first: "I searched for 'thinker'. I don't know if there is another way to call you."

"My English name used to be mark", Zheng Zhiyong couldn't hold back anymore, "I don't use it much anymore."

Park Jae-bum, who endured a lot of hard work with a smile: "In Korea, he already has two colleagues named 'mark'."

Zheng Zhiyong traveled abroad many times when he was a child. Of course he had an English name, but it was just a code name. Zheng Zhiyong used the stage name "thinker" when he was in underground activities. It turned out that the English names used when going out to play, introducing myself and doing homework at school have completely become a thing of the past. got7 has a marktuan, sm has a marklee in the NCT released this year, both of them have used their real names since they were young, and the collision is already very uncomfortable, Zheng Zhiyong is a name that should be used, let alone mention it again necessary.

"I like "Dawn Comes" very much," Lenny stretched out his hand, "mark".

Zheng Zhiyong stretched out his hand aggrievedly: "I hope you can call me a thinker, otherwise...my surname is Zheng, jung."

Lenny turned his head to look at Jay Park: "Aren't Koreans very reserved?"

Zheng Zhiyong also turned to look at him innocently: "Aren't Americans very direct?"

The three of them laughed together, and then they sat down together and started talking about business.

Korean entertainment companies often write big-character posters with the posture of conquering the world. Of course, they are basically exaggerated. In recent years, the only Korean song that truly deserves the saying of "conquering the world" is "Gangnam" which is not in the kpop system. style".But the coverage area of ​​kpop is not small. The influence of music is difficult to cross cultures, languages ​​and races. The popularity of kpop in Asian and Asian groups is already quite rare. Rocnation contacted Jay Park because he was influenced by American culture since he was a child but he was able to get along well in South Korea. Lenny Santiago, who was in charge of negotiating the contract with Jay Park, of course knew the situation in South Korea, and he knew the current South Korea. In the entertainment circle, how can we avoid Zheng Zhiyong?

As soon as he was seated, Lenny said: "I didn't expect Thinker's English is really good. Are you interested in considering the United States?"

Just kidding again.

But the atmosphere is not formal at all, and Zheng Zhiyong is not a rigid person, and he has adapted well: "I am still working for others, and when I can arrange my career in Korea by myself, I will consider opening up a new territory. "

"Thinker is still young." Jay Park said.

"Did you show your passport when you came in?" Lenny also said, "I thought you were underage in the photo, but I still think so in real life."

"It's just the characteristics of yellow people's appearance. I hope I won't look greasy in ten years."

Jay Park: "Isn't that what I will look like in five years?"

Zheng Zhiyong: ... I can't answer that.

Lenny was quite interested in Zheng Zhiyong, but he didn't neglect Park Jay Bum, the righteous master.Park Jay Bum wants to test the English-speaking area, and rocnation wants to test the Asian market. They both have needs for each other, so they will sit together. Zheng Zhiyong will appear not only because he is Park Jae-bum’s friend, but also because he Can speak English, is famous in Korea, and is a potential collaborator.

And the cooperation with Zheng Zhiyong cannot avoid Park Jay Bum. "I will participate in jay's works", Zheng Zhiyong said, "What kind of music style can cross the cultural circle is also the direction of my efforts."
