Thinker in the entertainment industry

Looking back on the past 24 years, Zheng Zhiyong has to admit with regret that few of the long-term plans he made for himself have been successful.In the early years, I ran SM as a trainee and prepared to become an idol, but I will not mention the result.After three years of being in a daze, I finished my studies while procrastinating, and after working for a while, I finally decided to face the camera again. The original plan was to appear in "showmethemoney" to get a fair recognition, but the result was not only The opportunity given by "Infinite Challenge" and a series of unexpected events made Zheng Zhiyong's recognition explode directly.After becoming popular, Zheng Zhiyong wanted to stabilize his position, but... the result is what he is now. He doesn't want to be a thorn in the side of other companies and peers, and he doesn't want to be unable to release new works for a year. He can only consider "changing careers" to a certain extent. up.

Zheng Zhiyong started to think about the plan for the new stage after he went to France, and sometimes some new ideas popped up out of nowhere. Jay Park didn't find it strange: "Tell me in detail?"

"I have to gradually learn to cooperate with people. Let's start with my brother. No one is more suitable than me to talk about the past." Zheng Zhiyong said.

"That's right...the quarrel in the recording studio before, I still remember it very clearly."

"That was in the past," Zheng Zhiyong said, "and we have not cooperated all the time, not just because of the different music concepts-I think I shouldn't be by your side."

"You should become an artist, I'm afraid you really lost your ambition and just want to be my helper," Jay Park sighed, "My judgment is right this time."

Zheng Zhiyong nodded with a smile.

It seemed that things could be settled just like that, Zheng Zhiyong wanted to recall the past with him, and Park Jay had no reason to refuse.

But the understanding of Zheng Zhiyong gave Park Jae-bum a vague premonition that "things are not that simple". "That's it?" he asked. "Collaboration on a song, release, anything else?"

Zheng Zhiyong: "I'm going to participate in this year's mama-this time there will be prizes."

Jay Park: "It should be, it's shameless if you don't get the award." Zheng Zhiyong's grades this year are so good, and he is directly signed to CJ's "son", how could mama neglect him?

"You'll be in my acceptance speech."

"what?"

Jay Park couldn't say "should", he stared at Zheng Zhiyong, and began to think seriously about the possibility of making him change his mind.

It doesn't seem to be high.

"Is that a bit nasty?" Jay Park made an unwilling attempt.

Zheng Zhiyong's attitude is as expected and taken for granted: "I don't think I should mind this." He added: "I may not be able to win the award next year. Solo singers are fine in MMA, but it is not easy to win awards in MMA .”

Mama was condemned again for "dividing pork". There are only so many awards in total, and there are still very few who are eligible to eat "pork". Unlike the MMA hosted by Melon, which focuses on music sources, mama is based on popularity. The usual solo It is even more difficult for singers with strong sound sources to take advantage of it.

Jay Park, who couldn't change Zheng Zhiyong and had no intention of changing him, could only admit defeat, sighed, and resigned himself to fate: "Do as you wish, don't embarrass me too much."

If you say you hate it, you can't really hate it. What's more important is that a steel straight man like Jay Park is not used to expressing emotions too straightforwardly.

Zheng Zhiyong wants to do it... then forget it.

The end of the year is the time for award presentations. Although the entertainment circle at the end of 2016 was much quieter due to political reasons, the activities that should exist will not stop because of this.When Zheng Zhiyong and Park Jay were expanding their network in the United States, the first heavyweight award ceremony at the end of the year, the Melon Musicawards hosted by the largest music source website Melon, and MMA came to an end.In addition to the awards given by the divisions and the man-made awards for the people who came here, the top 10 reflects who this year’s music giants are composed of exo, BTS, zico, twice, gfriend, Akdong musicians, mamamoo, bewhy, redvelvet Zheng Zhiyong also got it. The last eight are big players who really occupy the top of the music list. The first two are popular and have good music sources. Ren Changding, who has excellent music performance this year but is not in the top 10, won the lyrical male singer field. For the awards, Taeyeon, who has a good record in the music source, did not enter the top 10, and lost to Jung Eunji in the female lyrical singer competition, can only leave regrets.

Zheng Eunji's solo hit "Hope Sky" collided with the two great songs "Story" and "Cheerup", and he was able to avoid being robbed of the limelight and persisted on the music chart for a long time. Now it seems that at least the top three of the annual list Ten is stable, two strong contenders, there will always be regrets.

The three awards were distributed evenly. Artist of the Year was given to exo, Album of the Year was given to BTS, and Jung Jiyong won the Music Source Award of the Year. "If you don't come, you won't get an award" is the practice of most awards ceremonies in Korea. Zheng Zhiyong did not attend the mma but won the grand prize. First, Zheng Zhiyong's grades are really good. "Story" is definitely the first in the annual list. Other works The results are also excellent, and the second is that the current political trend is very hard to say. Not long after Zheng Zhiyong and Zhao Xueyuan left, Cheong Wa Dae was overwhelmed. The mma who heard the wind did not want people to have the misunderstanding that they were "slapping the face" of cj - all Big companies are all staring at the political arena, so there is no need to tear it up by themselves, they just do business.

An Shuojun also showed full sincerity for this move of mma.Not only was he present to accept the award for Zheng Zhiyong in person, but he also canceled the bad debt that loen used Zheng Zhiyong to attract firepower to iu last year.Turn around and say to Zheng Zhiyong: "You are often used as a target, but it doesn't seem so bad if you make up for it every time."

Zheng Zhiyong: If you weren't my boss, I really want to throw you out... "My loss is very big?" This is because I have nothing to do, if something really happens, loen and yg will go bankrupt and apologize.

An Shuojun also felt that he had gone too far: "What do you think about YG, they can't take advantage of it, and you don't have to pay the price for offending people."

"I'm not in a hurry. If you have an idea, don't use my name?" Zheng Zhiyong asked with a smile.

What's the rush? Even if the president changes parties, it doesn't necessarily mean the game is over.Usually there is nothing wrong with retribution if there is a grudge, so that people who come later can weigh it more before provoking it, and then engage in happy grudges when the political situation is involved?Zheng Zhiyong didn't want to put himself in it.

An Shuojun heard Zheng Zhiyong's caution: "Then hit them first."

This Zheng Zhiyong has no objection.

Zheng Zhiyong also has no objection to An Shuojun's gesture of showing affection to Loen.As the first heavyweight awards ceremony at the end of 2016, mma awarded Zheng Zhiyong the song of the year award, which to some extent represented a trend.After all, "Story" is the absolute first in the annual list, and "cheerup" is the absolute second in the annual list. If the gap between the two is not too large, Zheng Zhiyong did not attend the award ceremony because it involved The activities were suspended due to the scandal, and it is reasonable for MMA to give the award to Twice's "Cheerup".They awarded the grand prize to Zheng Zhiyong, in addition to showing their "fairness" to the outside world, they also declared: "Story" is this year's song of the year, thinker has no problem at all.

The attitude of people in the industry can reflect some substantive things from the side. After an artist has an accident, if the collaborators and advertisers cut off relations one after another, then the possibility of this person's problem is relatively high. On the contrary, "Two Days One Night" " Home Cooking Meal Teacher Bai's support for Zheng Junying's aboveboard, and "Law of the Jungle" also struggled for a long time before deciding to delete Zheng Junying's scenes. Long before the police announced the results on October [-], someone saw the clues.

Mma showed their attitude, not to mention opening up the trend later, at least mama's favoritism towards Zheng Zhiyong seemed logical.

Mama, which has always aimed at all of Asia, will still be held in Hong Kong this year. The time is scheduled for December 12, and the venue is Hong Kong's AsiaWorld-Expo.At the end of the year, Korean idols generally do not have many overseas activities, so on December 2st and December 12nd, stars from all walks of life left the country at Gimpo Airport and entered Hong Kong, contributing their respective airport maps.

"It's time to divide the pork again."

"Which year will mama not divide pork, this year it depends on how exo and BTS divide."

"For the exo four consecutive awards, vote!"

"I think it's time to get the grand prize this year, let's send them to the highest place together with the army."

"The fans of the little sticky ball don't distinguish between pork and only eat melon... Mama's New Year song will be given to thinker?"

"The New Year's Song should belong to thinker. Mma even gave the New Year's song to thinker. No matter how good the relationship between m and jyp is, they won't give up the grand prize for their own son."

"Thinker's performance this year is still super good, and there are still a lot of things to do."

"This year thinker should say that the year is not good. In the first half of the year, I ran into a mad dog. My father knocked thinker into a disability and blamed thinker for being intolerant. In the second half of the year, I ran into another one. What does Zheng Junying have to do with thinker?"

"Thinking that thinker stopped activities when the new album is in full swing, I am so angry that I have not moved for two months qaq, and I will never watch Seoul Sports again!"

"Didn't thinker come back to deliver the exam on the day of the college entrance examination? They also filmed a side story about the cram school. M will broadcast it after mama."

"Didn't the news say that Thinker would attend Mama? Why didn't you see his airport map?"

"Thinker seems to have gone abroad again after filming the cram school. Before that, he went to France with Jung Joon Young, but then he didn't know where he went."

"Is thinker a bit of a nerd? When I was in France, there were still fans who studied abroad staring at me to take pictures. But I really have nothing to say about her looks. She looks so handsome without makeup and lack of energy."

……

In everyone's eyes, Zheng Zhiyong is a dragon who can't see the end but no one knows that he is singing "Dawn Comes" in a hotel in Hong Kong at this time, and An Xiyan is standing next to him.Although this is a collaborative stage to be performed on mama, there are not many positions on the one hand, and the two sing their own songs, and each has practiced their own parts well, and it is enough to meet and rehearse when it is time to go on stage.

By the way, we can make an appointment.On such a special occasion, unless a camera bug is installed in the room, even if they are photographed together in the same room, it cannot be said that the two are in a relationship.After all, it is not easy to find a special practice place abroad, and it is not surprising to check words in a hotel room.

The two people who are very familiar with "Dawn Comes" quickly finished the song practice, sat on the bed and talked about Zheng Zhiyong's time in the United States. "Knowing more people, what we really want to do is far away," Zheng Zhiyong said while moistening his throat with warm lemonade, "but before I came back, the people from rocnation told me a good news, and You have something to do with it too."

"And me?"

"At the end of the year, Billboard will count the good songs of each department in the past year. Among the best film and television episodes this year, there is "Dawn Comes". The news will come out in the middle of December. If your company has an idea, do it in advance Get ready."

"Does your company have any ideas?" An Xiyan said.

"After mama, we broadcast the extra episode of the cram school, announced that "Dawn Comes" has become this year's classic OST, and then announced that I have my own company." Zheng Zhiyong clasped his hands together, "perfect".

The addition of the billboard can rationalize the previous awards, and it can also make Zheng Zhiyong's own boss look less repulsive.Public figures cannot underestimate the jealousy of netizens at any time. Who knows if they will turn over some old accounts that have been clarified long ago because they think you don't deserve to live too well.

"Congratulations."

Zheng Zhiyong smiled, "I hope there will be no more accidents", he said, "No more accidents".

Although the twists and turns in the past two years have contributed a lot to his rapid rise in fame, Zheng Zhiyong is not born to like struggles and accidents. On the contrary, the feeling of "out of control" is really bad.

"I also hope," An Xiyan said sincerely, "Is it really okay to be the 'first shareholder' in name? If you have contract disputes with artists or trainees, will it affect your image? ?Although artists and companies generally fail to end well, public opinion will say otherwise."

"Don't worry", Zheng Zhiyong said, "I have already thought about the artists and trainees who have management contracts with mmo."
