Thinker in the entertainment industry

Solving the problem of "stress" is not difficult to say.More recently, the pressure that Zheng Zhiyong is facing now is far less than when he first appeared on the stage three years ago.Having experienced ups and downs, and also been confused and struggling in adversity, Zheng Zhiyong's heart, while delicate and sensitive, has actually become tough because of being rubbed too many times—it's just that he doesn't believe it. .

Anyway, during the recording, Producer Zheng had already thrown the matter of "what to do if the response is not good" to the sky.

"Sister Solzhi, your voice..." This is the second time I have cooperated with exid, and they changed the name tacitly, "Isn't the song sung in "The King of Masked Singer" when he took off his mask and announced his identity very difficult? big?"

An Xiaozhen, who was waiting next to him, was amused by Zheng Zhiyong's euphemistic expression: "It's "maria", the theme song of "Beauty's Trouble". I'm nervous." She said mercilessly, Xu Suzhi glared at her, and finally bowed her head guiltily and didn't speak.

"Even if you're nervous, your voice doesn't work that way. Both the recording and live effects are affected," Zheng Zhiyong said, "Fortunately, it only affects the treble of the chorus. Let's record the latter part."

Later, other members of exid also came to "watch and emulate". An Xiyan had met Zheng Zhiyong before, but Xu Huilin and Park Zhenghua met for the first time. After observing the whole recording process, they all gave comments: "Long He looks so handsome." "The voice is nice." "The temper is really nice."...

"Wait," Zheng Zhiyong felt a little wrong, "What's the matter with your temper?"

An Xiaozhen coughed twice: "If you keep doing this when they are recording, you will definitely go crazy in the end, thinker."

"No", Park Jung Hwa corrected Ahn Hyo Jin's choice of words, "It's not that we need the producer to be mad to sing well, or...it's not easy for the producer to maintain a good temper from the beginning to the end."

An Xiaozhen nodded: "That's right, although you are so-so, Junghwa, fans can frankly say that the sound quality of the CD is the same as that of you on the CD."

"Pfft", Zheng Zhiyong couldn't help it, "Have you ever dissed someone underground recently?"

"Where there is time, I have to write songs in addition to limited things...the more I want to write, the more I can't write." The popularity of "Up and Down" will pass one day, and the results of exid's next comeback are very important. Think about it An Xiaozhen felt a lot of pressure.

Zheng Zhiyong deeply felt the same way: "I am also like this. I can't do it because I want to write it for someone. I have to write the song and find someone to sing it. That is basically only suitable for limited and solo. Limit it. You are a coincidence. If it is not a coincidence, No one set limits for the song."

The songs for the group should consider the individual characteristics of the members, and few of them are written and given out.

"Then do you plan to perform by yourself in the future? I heard that you sang some good songs in an underground performance a while ago, but unfortunately I don't have time to listen to them." An Xiaozhen looked regretful.

"I think so for the time being."

No one can prepare everything well. Many times, we have to take a step at a time. Even Zheng Zhiyong understands this.

"What about the broadcast?" An Xiyan said.

"That's right, your appearance is not very suitable for the underground, the public is better." An Xiaozhen seconded.

"I know", Zheng Zhiyong said, he knows his own personality best, this kind of emotional, thoughtful and self-disciplined temperament is actually very suitable to be an idol, Zheng Zhiyong used to plan like this, so he still He firmly put away his edges and corners, but the car accident ruined everything, and Zheng Zhiyong revealed the sharp side of his character, but no matter what, Zheng Zhiyong's kind Sharp, and the aggressiveness of underground hip-hop, there is still a big difference, "Broadcasting... is a bit difficult now".

"what?"

"My waist can't be ninety degrees frequently, or it will hurt," Zheng Zhiyong said with a smile, "I have to think again."

"Show Me The Money."

Zheng Zhiyong was taken aback by An Xiyan's words: "Huh?"

"Show Methemoney, the third season has been so successful, there will definitely be a fourth season," An Xiyan explained, "If the strength is enough, as long as the scenes are not cut out, we will always let everyone know."

Sounds... pretty good?

"A good idea", Zheng Zhiyong praised sincerely, "I will think about it carefully".

An Xiaozhen reminded: "I'm afraid you will be dissed very badly by then."

"I'm not afraid of this." Zheng Zhiyong didn't take it seriously, he had been dissed many times in the underground, who would be afraid of this, his glass heart, if it was not knocked in the right place, it was still very hard.

"Handsome", An Xiyan raised her hand and clapped "papa papa", "If you really go, I will definitely watch it."

"See how I was dissed?" Zheng Zhiyong joked.

An Xiaozhen and the others are enthusiastically imagining the scene of Zheng Zhiyong appearing on "showmethemoney" one day-mainly thinking about how other rappers will diss Zheng Zhiyong, but as a party involved, all Zheng Zhiyong can do is quietly watch: God, why is this scene not at all against peace?Is he too soft or the exid gang is too manly?

Forget it, he should check the finished product again.

This time, the recording studio was rented out by exid's management company, yedangentertainment, and the schedule was relatively generous, but because of this, the effect was somewhat unreasonable.

When Zheng Zhiyong was about to put on the earphones, a piece of chocolate was handed over.

"Oh? Thank you." Zheng Zhiyong thanked subconsciously, and when he looked up, it was An Xiyan.

"It's a gift from fans, you can't finish it," An Xiyan simply explained, "thinker, are you... nervous?"

Zheng Zhiyong did not expect that An Xiyan would ask this question. After being stunned for two seconds, he smiled and nodded, "Yes", he said while peeling off the wrapping paper with his hands, "Finally let go of all worries , make up your mind to do something well, at the beginning, there will be some nervousness, in fact, it is good to get used to it, but it is difficult to bypass the process, why, is my change obvious?"

"I've become a lot more handsome and more serious." An Xiyan answered honestly.

This……

Zheng Zhiyong couldn't help reaching out and touching his face.

"It's not obvious, it's just..." An Xiyan remedied in a low voice, "I thought we put too much burden on you."

In short, it is - a guilty conscience.

"It's only you." Zheng Zhiyong recalled the first time he met An Xiyan, her solemn request, and couldn't help laughing, "I thought you would give me some advice."

An Xiyan is sexy on the stage, and she is a bit careless in variety shows, but Zheng Zhiyong's only feeling after meeting twice in reality: this person has a good ability to come up with ideas...

An Xiyan slumped down on the sofa next to her depressedly, and she felt very hurt because of Zheng Zhiyong's misunderstanding: "I'm doing different things now, sexy dance and variety show, let's not talk about the former one." , Variety shows... I also go to whatever I have, and I'll figure it out when the time comes."

"I just heard from the director that you are going to be a regular variety show again. What is it this time?"

On the other side, An Xiaozhen and the others finally had enough talking.I just heard the word "variety show" and asked casually.It's not that they don't care about their teammates, it's that An Xiyan has too many schedules, if they pay attention from time to time, it's normal to be blind.

"JTBC's "I'm Going to School" will record a few episodes, and the second season of "Crimescene" and a fashion show are being discussed."

"Fashion show?"

Not to mention the surprise of his teammates, even Zheng Zhiyong pushed the chocolate he had just put into his mouth to his cheeks, and looked An Xiyan up and down again: "Tell me, this dress matches your cody."

Ahn Hyo Jin added: "Our cody level is not that bad, Hani is a fashion terrorist."

"Sister—" An Xiyan quit, grabbing An Xiaozhen's shoulder and shaking it.An Xiaozhen's aura is strong on the stage, but the real person is a dead house, and his physical strength is incomparable to An Xiyan's. He became dizzy after a few strokes. "Take it lightly." She pressed her backhand firmly on An Xiyan's shoulder, " I can't help you shaking like this."

Zheng Zhiyong buried his head in his arms and laughed muffledly. His fashion taste in a disheartened state actually appeared on a popular female star. The feeling is really hard to describe.

After laughing enough, Zheng Zhiyong finally reawakened the fashion soul in his body, but couldn't help it: "Are you going out now?"

An Xiyan, who put on the coat and scarf and held it in her hand: "Yes."

"Don't use that color scarf, use...Sister Suzhi's, the lipstick color is too heavy, the color should be lighter." It's been a long time since I left fashion, Zheng Zhiyong couldn't find the right words to describe it, so he just used it directly Searched on the phone, showed it to An Xiyan, and added a sentence at the end, "personal suggestion".

"What route is this?" Xu Suzhi asked eagerly as he wrapped his scarf around An Xiyan's neck.

"Healthy and beautiful." Zheng Zhiyong said.

"It seems to be a bit normal." Although An Xiyan was complained just now, An Xiaozhen's taste in fashion is not much better than others, "If you don't consider the salary issue, I suggest you hire another cody , thinker, what is your price?" she joked.

"This time... if you still have the chocolate just now, give me another piece."

Zheng Zhiyong also said with a smile.

An Xiyan's proposal is very valuable as a reference, Zheng Zhiyong added the option "showmethemoney" to Zheng Zhiyong's plan.Whether it is implemented or not and how it is implemented depends on the situation, but compared to broadcast programs that have to deal with a bunch of seniors or seniors, "Show Methemoney" seems much more reliable. The waist problem is actually not that big, but Zheng Zhi Yong also didn't want to take the risk of harming his body, so he couldn't explain to everyone one by one that he was not being rude but that his waist was not big enough, it was too troublesome.

After the strength is recognized, it will be much more convenient to tell the matter, which is what Zheng Zhiyong planned.

As for now, exid and their agency, Yedang, of course have to negotiate. Even if the relationship has reached the level of familiarity or even "closeness", what needs to be clarified must be clarified. Zheng Zhiyong also needs to ventilate about the cube aspect of "cooperative relationship".

Regardless of Cube and Yong Junhyung's considerations, their actions have brought real help to Zheng Zhiyong.Hong Shengcheng once again mentioned the downhill road Cube is currently facing, and Zheng Zhiyong couldn't bear to make a clean break. He always felt that he had to do something to be at ease.Judging from Zheng Xiyuan's reaction that day, Zheng Zhiyong could feel that her sister was not very satisfied with her decision. She clearly didn't intend to sign a contract with Cube but she was disconnected, and there might be troubles in the future.The reason why there is no objection may be because the current cooperation with Cube can indeed provide him with some convenience.

From Zheng Zhiyong's point of view, these things are a bit complicated, but they don't matter much to others. Cube did what they love to do - cultivate potential stocks, and other people who have no interest in Zheng Zhiyong are even more indifferent.Zheng Zhiyong's teaching in Cube was not greatly affected, and the trainees paid much more attention to their debut than composers.

"A new girl group is about to debut, and I'm afraid there will be another boy group next year."

At the beginning of each year, beast doesn't have many things to do, and the members live their own lives.For Long Junhyung, although his personal hobby is to stay in the studio for a long time, for the sake of his body shape, he occasionally reluctantly familiarizes himself with the dance steps in the practice room.He was dancing in the middle of the practice room, and Zheng Zhiyong was watching from the side.

"If you set your goals on solo and limited, I'm afraid there won't be too many cube opportunities in the past two years. HyunA will definitely solo once a year. Do you have songs that are all rap like "justfollow" and "cklist"... "

Long Junheng was panting while talking, and finally gave up at this point, leaning against the wall, to catch his breath first before speaking.

""12:30" is not easy to sing and dance at the same time, but I only danced, and I didn't dance for a long time. As for..." Long Junheng's poor physical strength is recognized, but Zheng Zhiyong saw it with his own eyes for the first time.

Since he has been in Cube for more than a year, this is the first time he has entered the practice room.

It was also the first time in so many years.

"I haven't moved much after the awards ceremony," Yong Junhyung explained awkwardly, and then immediately changed the subject, "You can also talk to Hyunseung, Kikwang, and Dongwoon, we signed a seven-year contract with the company The contract expires next year, we talked about it before, and we wanted to solo once during the contract period, but Doojoon has no idea."

"Phone number." Zheng Zhiyong took out his phone and said. He is not familiar with everyone in Cube, Zhang Xiansheng, Li Qiguang, and Sun Dongyun are nodding acquaintances, they haven't spoken a few words, and there is no contact information.

"I'll tell them first when the time comes." Long Junheng wiped off his sweat, sent the number to Zheng Zhiyong, and said, seeing Zheng Zhiyong nodding his head and preparing to withdraw, he suddenly remembered something again, and stretched out his hand to hold Zheng Zhiyong. Yong, "Wait".

"what happened?"

Long Junheng did not answer Zheng Zhiyong directly, but first locked the door mysteriously, and then turned around:

"Is there anything else you want to do in the practice room?"
