Thinker in the entertainment industry

The communication with Li Qiguang was not smooth.

Don't look at Li Qiguang's natural dull appearance, in fact he doesn't think deeply about things... Zheng Zhiyong's songs are lyrical, and he also mixed a lot of his own views on people and things. Li Qiguang's song content is much simpler and uniform It is not suitable for children.

"I was more inspired when I wrote these." Li Qiguang explained a little embarrassedly in front of his brother who was almost two years younger than him.

Zheng Zhiyong had a look of lovelessness: "If I write these, I will feel more ashamed."

The style of painting is completely different, there is no way to play together.

Long Junheng didn't seem very surprised by this result, and when he left, he comforted: "It's okay, you and Hyun Seung may have a common language, and he is also the type who thinks deeply, we often don't understand... and you Same."

"same as me?"

How is Zhang Xiansheng similar to Zhang Xiansheng, who is habitually empty and disconnected, and lives in the fourth dimension for a long time?

"It doesn't look troublesome, but it's actually hard to understand," Long Junhyung said, "Jiyong, I just had a guess."

"what?"

"What you want is a situation where you don't need to be subject to someone."

"Why do you think so?"

"When you were talking to senior just now, I thought that although you have always been polite, you didn't feel restrained. I just remembered that you don't need to be afraid of anyone now." Long Junheng said.

"I will meet a lot of people in the future, many of whom are older than me, have more senior qualifications than me, and have higher status than me. I think I need a position that can guarantee my freedom and independence." Now that Long Junheng saw it, Zheng Zhiyong didn't hide it either.

"It's probably because of this that you didn't sign with the company." Long Junheng realized later, "Then you need to find a good agency."

"of course."

Zheng Zhiyong once signed a strict contract with SM willingly in order to be able to appear on stage as an idol.But now that times have changed, becoming an idol is no longer his wish, and Zheng Zhiyong is no longer willing to be bound by heavy rules.He is well aware of how deep the water in the entertainment industry is, and the price to pay for freedom, but it is still worth a try.

Regardless of whether he is unhappy or not, or the conflict between his physical condition and many ritual actions, a certain degree of freedom is also necessary to ensure the output of his works in the creation that he intends to take as his main business.

This will be a very long process. Right now, Zheng Zhiyong plans to take a look at Xu Solzhi's performance in "The King of Masked Singer".

On February 2015, 2, the Lunar New Year, Zheng Zhiyong watched the Spring Festival trial version of "The King of Masked Singer" on his tablet at home.

It can be seen that MBC is very attentive to this program.The contestants did not cover all walks of life, but the types were not single, and they all had some famous names. Actors Won Ki-joon and Kim Ye-won, trot singer Hong Jin-young, idol singer Jo Kwon, the powerful "music source" k.will, and Xu Solzhi, who had the last laugh and never took off his mask from the beginning to the end, is aliased as "Self-Review Mosaic".

When Su Jingshi pushed open the door, she just heard the host joking, the champion didn’t take off his mask this time, will it be the second runner-up Jin Yeyuan’s name on the hot search list afterward, and the first is “Mosaic”.

Zheng Zhiyong, who was sitting on the bed with no expression on his face, heard this sentence, and smiled softly with the corners of his mouth raised.

"What program is this?" Su Jingshi asked.

"MBC's new one, people wear a mask to sing, the audience guesses, two-two duel, take off the mask if you lose", Zheng Zhiyong rubbed to the side, let Su Jingshi sit down by the bed , "This, the final champion", he pointed to Xu Solzhi who was wearing a mask, and said, "My new song is going to be handed over to her team."

"name?"

Zheng Zhiyong gave his mother a puzzled look: "exid is wise."

"The one who sang "Tears"?"

"Mom, you know a lot." After being surprised, Zheng Zhiyong said sincerely.Although I know that my parents know more or less about the entertainment industry because of themselves, but they are all in their 50s, so it stands to reason that they don't know these things in detail.

"If you use your brain well and use your heart, you can study everything thoroughly," Su Jingshi said, "I even remember the lyrics very clearly."

I remember the lyrics very clearly...Zheng Zhiyong suddenly froze: "What song?"

"All, "spring", "tears", "you don't know" and "myway ornoway"", Su Jingshi was not surprised by Zheng Zhiyong's reaction, she knew the reason, "After reading the lyrics you wrote, I feel that I Get to know you better."

Zheng Zhiyong tapped his finger on the screen and exited the playback: "There are some things I can't say in person."

"I understand," Su Jingshi said, "the past has always had an influence on a person."

The "past" mentioned by Su Jingshi does not refer to everything that Zheng Zhiyong experienced after his injury, nor does it refer to his four years in SM, she is talking about the earlier time, Zheng Zhiyong's childhood.

Su Jingshi and Zheng Wenyu are not parents who want to control and arrange their children's lives. On the contrary, they are quite open-minded.But no matter how enlightened, as parents, when educating their children, they will always subconsciously transmit their own outlook on life, world view and values. Both Zheng Xiyuan and Zheng Taeyong have been cultivated very well. When it is the turn of the third child, they will naturally do the same. Something went wrong.

When the husband and wife finally admitted that the child was completely different from the rest of the family in terms of talent and brain circuits, the young Zheng Zhiyong had already realized this.For a child, this is very sad news.

Fortunately, none of them insists that parents and children must be close enough to talk about everything.For Zheng Wenyu and Su Jingshi, there are already a pair of children who have inherited their line, and they might as well look forward to another life for the younger son.As for Zheng Zhiyong, there are some issues that he can still discuss with his parents, and some issues that he thinks will not have satisfactory results for both parties, he keeps them for himself.

It's not bad, but sometimes it feels a little weird when you think about it.

Zheng Zhiyong went home to stay for a few days during the Spring Festival, Su Jingshi naturally did not come to him to lament the past that could not be changed—she was not Zheng Zhiyong, and she didn't like to do inefficient things.

"Your new work, what do you think the response will be?"

"I think the quality is good, but the response may not be good, so I don't think about the quality now, but look at the environment," Zheng Zhiyong said. Well done, and her performance in it is also very good, if in the first issue of the official edition, she performed well when she appeared to take off the mask, then my work that will be released later should get a good amount of attention.”

"Well", Su Jingshi nodded, "You think so...it's okay".

It is very difficult for people of Su Jingshi's level to feel "very good" about the idea that came out of Zheng Zhiyong's mind.

"So, are you just waiting for this song to be released?" Su Jingshi asked again.

"I also have the idea of ​​participating in this year's Show Methemoney, but I need to know some news first."

"What about the brokerage company, don't you have an idea yet?"

Seeing Zheng Zhiyong's acquiescence, Su Jingshi sighed: "The contract you signed with Cube has already told them that you have feelings for Cube. If your next work has a good response, you have not agreed with Cube. If other agencies establish contact, and they know that you don’t want to be just a producer, will someone have other ideas? Zhiyong, the contract you signed with Cube is a good compromise, but contacting a new company, Better hurry up."

"Did I do something stupid again?" Zheng Zhiyong asked with a wry smile.

This kind of idea that has been thought about for a long time is still a "not so good" level in the eyes of the family, which is really a bit frustrating.

"Look at what you do later. If you do well, you will have many friends and many paths. If you don't do well, you will be in trouble. Try to avoid that possibility." Su Jingshi calmly explained the facts, "I'm sorry, Zhiyong, I know you're trying to be sensible, but it seems to me that you've been too straight and emotional."

Because no matter what Zheng Zhiyong did, it was impossible to reach Su Jingshi's level.

Zheng Zhiyong has been used to it for a long time, and at first he felt a little stuck, but now he has recovered: "Do you have any suggestions, Mom?"

Zheng Zhiyong had guessed the intention, and Su Jingshi didn't hide it, she simply said, "Do you want to contact Xiangyou?"

Su Jingshi's "Sang Woo", full name Kim Sang Woo, is the youngest and only son of the president of Korea's largest rice wine merchant's family, Zheng Zhiyong's junior in elementary school, and one of the few children who could play with him in his childhood .

From this point, it is easy to infer that Kim Sang-woo and Jung Ji-yong have some similarities. For example, they both have a wealthy family background, both lack interest in money and rights, and they will both consider reality and make appropriate compromises.The difference is that Kim Sang-woo is more rational than Zheng Zhiyong, and his brain is much better. Zheng Zhiyong has worked hard to get into Korea University. University of economics and management, the results are quite good.

In addition, Kim Sang Woo has another layer of identity - the singer Roy Kim well-known to Koreans, the champion of the fourth season of the talent show "Superstark", and the signed artist of the music branch of the big group CJ.

With a strong background and a lot of resources, and because there is no mature trainee training system and artist management system, he tends to sign established singers and cje;&m who are relatively loose in management. This is Su Jingshi's problem with the agency , Advice to Zheng Zhiyong.

Good advice.

It's a question that I have been thinking about for so long, and others have found a suitable choice and even thought about the channel at once. Zheng Zhiyong felt that he needed to calm down.

Otherwise, with his emotional level, if he made a decision immediately, he might do something like "because he felt uncomfortable, so he didn't choose a good choice".

The next morning, Zheng Zhiyong, who rarely got up late, sat at the desk, logged into his kakao account, and sent a message to Xu Suzhi: "I watched "The King of Masked Singer" yesterday." Attached is a Thumbs up emoji.

The other party replied quickly: "Which song do you like the most?"

This question is easy to answer, and Zheng Zhiyong chose without hesitation: "The Reason for Becoming a Singer."

There was no reply for a long time.Zheng Zhiyong felt something was wrong, so he sent another message: "Sister Suzhi?"

"Sorry……"

"Actually, I'm Hani, Sister Solji just went out."

"I was busy with other things when she was on the show, and I don't know what she sang on the show."

The three messages that popped up one after another made Zheng Zhiyong immediately understand, "It's okay", he wrote, he just wanted to hear comments on Xu Suzhi from others, it's not a big deal, "Sister Suzhi came back and told her." .

After pressing "Send", Zheng Zhiyong suddenly had a new idea: "No, I need to confirm my identity."

Ten seconds later, the other party sent a voice message, Zheng Zhiyong clicked on it, and An Xiyan's voice floated out of the phone's loudspeaker:

"Hi, I'm Hani from exid, I'm very sorry just now."

It was a very sweet and "official" voice, but Zheng Zhiyong felt that An Xiyan should be holding back her laughter at this time.

However, this idea came about later. Zheng Zhiyong's first reaction was to frantically press the volume button of the phone, and directly press the phone to mute.

No, why do you think it's a bit bad to release it?

Even so, Zheng Zhiyong put on the earphones and pressed a new reply on the screen with both hands: "Aren't you busy?"

"The programs broadcast during the Spring Festival are generally recorded before, and they are fine now."

An Xiyan replied.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Of course, wait a minute, I'll switch to my account."

"Ok."
