Thinker in the entertainment industry

There are many websites selling audio sources in Korea, and nine of them are the most commonly used ones, namely melon, bugs, m, olleh, soribada, genie, daum, ichart, and na|ver, so you should refer to many websites for the results of audio sources. sales ranking.Because melon has the largest market share, if you want to save trouble, just look at melon.Anyway, if the sound source is not deliberately pushed up by the company or fan groups, the performance gap of a song on each chart will not be too big.

And if a song can take No. 2011 on eight charts other than ichart at the same time, it will be very, very popular. There is a special word to describe it, "allkill".The number of times this word is used is very small, and it is already a good response to be able to win three or four charts at the same time. It is a good response, and it is impossible to do it without the great divine comedy, and the divine comedy is so easy to appear. of?As for the real-time and daily rankings of the eight major lists, plus an ichart that ranks first on a weekly basis, it becomes "perfect all kill", or "pk" for short, which is even rarer than "ak"—"all kill". In four years, there were no more than [-] poems, with an average of only five or six poems per year.

Zheng Zhiyong will not make unrealistic hopes of "perfect all kill" or "all kill", but with the popularity of "The King of Masked Singer", if he can't even get one on the list, it will be very difficult. Ugly.This is no longer half a year ago, when exid was still on the [-]th line, and few people even cared about the group's comeback.Even if everyone knows that Xu Solzhi;&le's team released a song at this time to take advantage of the momentum of "The King of Masked Singer" and warm up for the upcoming comeback of Exid, there are still many people who are looking forward to this song "Reunion".

It's midnight.

Zheng Zhiyong didn't want to read the comments over and over again for the time being. When midnight arrived, the first thing he did was to download the music source.

According to the practice of music source websites, you can listen to the first 30 seconds of a song for free, and if you want to listen to it later, you have to pay to buy the whole song.Zheng Zhiyong clicked to play, and the prelude composed of the sound of the violin floated out.

The prelude was not long or short, about [-] or [-] seconds, and Xu Suzhi's singing followed closely: "When we meet, I will say, long time no see, but then, there is a long silence, I can't say goodbye to the past, I want to forget but Deeper."

time out.

No.20 eight seconds.

Will such an opening attract people to buy?

When the singer is unknown and the song is not expected, few people try to listen to the free part of the first 30 seconds. This is obviously not the case for "Reunion". The final score basically depends on the ratio of people who bought and listened to it, which also means that Zheng Zhiyong has to bear most of the responsibility for the result of the song - Xu Solzhi in "Masked Song" The stunning appearance on "The King" has already made "Reunion" impeccable in terms of publicity.

Zheng Zhiyong, who was lying on his back on the bed, stared at the ceiling for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to click on the real-time curve of Melon.

For a linear function, the slope is positive, probably... It's difficult to estimate the slope to such an extent.

No, you are here to see the sound source results!

Back then, for the college entrance examination, I learned nearly a magic barrier in mathematics, physics and chemistry. It has been five years since I said goodbye to those things, and I still cannot avoid conditioned reflexes.Zheng Zhiyong smiled self-deprecatingly, and continued to stare at the rising curve.Of course there are fans who browse music sources at zero hour, but the fan base of exid does not have a great influence. Similarly, the scale of yedang can help in this regard very limited.What's more, young people sleep late these days. In the country with the fastest Internet speed in the world, it is very convenient to listen to music online. The sound source curve after the zero hour announcement can still explain a lot of problems.

The sound source curve on the screen continued to climb upwards, and the seriousness on Zheng Zhiyong's face finally began to melt, and the corners of his mouth gradually curled up.

At this time, a notification tone of a new text message came from the mobile phone. Zheng Zhiyong switched the interface to look, and it turned out to be a text message from Li Taimin:

"Who is 'you' in "Reunion"? Is it me? (smiles)"

Zheng Zhiyong's original nervousness was immediately replaced by another feeling.

This feeling is called shame.

Although "Reunion" was written after meeting Kim Jaejoong and Kim Heechul, the song describes the imagined reunion with Lee Taemin. Ordinary listeners don't know that Lee Taemin, as the person involved, can no longer see what is written in the lyrics It's a ghost.

Recording the lyrics of so many feelings that cannot be directly expressed, and letting the person concerned see it, it is like writing a love letter and not being able to hand it over, but being accidentally discovered by the crush. It is really not an ordinary embarrassment.

But it has to be experienced and accepted.For Zheng Zhiyong, the purpose of writing songs is to speak in a relatively safe form. It is embarrassing to say such things, what kind of producer and rapper is he?

Zheng Zhiyong sighed, sat up and texted Li Taemin back: "Yes, it's mainly you, and combined with some images of people I used to know."

Lee Taemin didn't text back—he called instead.

"I didn't expect that there would be a day when I would see brother Jiyong's sensuality."

"You will see more in the future," Zheng Zhiyong said, "No, even if I don't leave, you will see it sooner or later. I can't be positive for ten years."

"I didn't realize until after I told you that we have known each other for exactly ten years this year."

"Yes", Zheng Zhiyong said with a low laugh, "I haven't seen each other for eight years."

On the other side of the phone, Li Taemin also laughed: "I thought I had changed a lot, but I didn't expect bro to become even better, but bro, do you only know how to write ballads and hip-hop?"

"Other styles are also being tried, what's wrong?"

"SM started to let us out solo one after another. If we have the opportunity, maybe we can cooperate." Lee Taemin said.

"It's possible, you're still young anyway." Lee Taemin made his debut in 93 when he was born in 08, and now he's a senior who debuted for seven years, but he's really not that old.

However, the word "cooperation" suddenly reminded Zheng Zhiyong of another thing: "Taemin, I...I plan to participate in this year's "showmethemoney"."

Underestimated him again.This was Li Taemin's first thought.I won’t talk about the previous songs. When Li Taemin listened to “Reunion” which was just released, he didn’t know it was written by Zheng Zhiyong. The name of the creator... Lee Taemin was really moved when he saw "thinker".

It turns out that not only writing songs behind the scenes, but also going to the front of the stage as a rapper?I almost forgot that "thinker" is still an amateur rapper with a different style and little publicity but a good reputation in the underground.

By the way, there is also his physical condition.Lee Taemin thought again of the serious injury Jung Jiyong suffered that made him have to give up dancing.There are a lot of people in the entertainment industry with physical problems, and there are a lot of idols with poor joints and stomach problems, but the problems are almost all inside, and the appearance is still glamorous.Zheng Zhiyong has a physical disability that can be seen from the outside, but he has to go to the front of the stage. If he can succeed, he will definitely become a very special existence in the entertainment industry. Combined with his experience, I am afraid it will be "unprecedented and unprecedented". Comer".

For this, Li Taemin can only admire: ""Show Methemoney"? Do you need me to support? Or support me when you become popular?" He joked.

"Taemin, didn't you think of anything else?"

"Others?" Li Taimin really didn't expect it, he was still sighing, when he heard what Zheng Zhiyong said, he subconsciously repeated it.

"My past will also be exposed. It is impossible to hide it forever." Although Zheng Zhiyong was a private trainee back then, as the number one management company in the music industry, SM has always received extremely high attention. It is impossible to practice without anyone noticing for four years without being known to outsiders, not to mention that Zheng Zhiyong's presence among the trainees was not low at that time.

Zheng Zhiyong was a trainee of SM in the past, there is nothing wrong with this fact.However, what happened after Zheng Zhiyong left SM, and what will happen if it is revealed, is hard to predict.

Lee Taemin understood this too.He understands better that Zheng Zhiyong will not give up returning to the stage because he is afraid of his past being exposed.

So he didn't mention, "That incident may not be found out. It was just a rumor at the time, and there was no evidence at all." Li Taemin said, "If there was evidence, I would have been cheated."It is not uncommon for artists to be stared at by other agencies.

Zheng Zhiyong sighed, "I'm sorry" was said too much, and it lost its due meaning: "Just in case, let's unify the caliber."

"I'll explain it when things come out. It seems to be more passive." Li Taimin's tone was thoughtful, and then there was a short silence on the other end of the phone, "Let's do it," he said, "If you become famous, we will Post a group photo on the Internet, and then...cooperate once".

Such rumors are basically unbelievable.

"Should I have prepared a song that suits you earlier?" Zheng Zhiyong was dumbfounded by Li Taemin's last words.

"Yes."

Interrupted by Li Taemin's call, when Zheng Zhiyong looked at the phone again, the curve had already extended for a long time.The linear function just now has become a quadratic function with a quadratic coefficient less than zero—in fact, the growth rate has slowed down, but it is already close to the upper limit of the table used to record the sound source curve.

For the phenomenon that the sound source reaches the upper limit of the chart, there is a special vocabulary used to describe it-"breaking the chart".Those who can do this are basically lyrical or hip-hop sound source big names. Idol groups have generally had sloppy sound sources in the past two years, and there are only a handful of them that can be related to the sound source.

Take melon’s music sources that broke the chart in 2015 as an example. In the powerful lyrical combination, Noel’s "Your Voice" broke the chart twice, Davichi's "Crying Again" broke the chart three times, and Naul's "At the same time" You" broke the chart 2 times, 3;'s "Love is Crazy" broke the chart 37 time, among the powerful solo singers, Jiaren's "apple" broke the chart 15 times, Xu Ge's "April Snow" broke the chart 1 times This time, in addition, musicians zion.t, mc Meng, and several classic songs from the hip-hop talent show "unprettyrapstar" also achieved the achievement of "breaking the watch".As far as idol groups are concerned, there is only exo who released a new album titled "callmebaby" on March 2th. Their title song this time has broken the chart twice in Melon.

With Zhu Yu in "Tears" in the front and the performance in "The King of Masked Singer" in the back, the small team composed of Heo Sol Ji and Ahn Hyo Jin is obviously taking the route of a big music source.If you can break the table, this step is a solid one.

By the way, there is also the promotional effect of exid's comeback in six days. "The King of Masked Singer", "Reunion", and "ahyeah" are three consecutive hits, which are eye-catching and not annoying.

Zheng Zhiyong's mind turned countless thoughts, and finally his eyes were fixed on the curve that made people happy and worried countless times.

That thread has touched the ceiling of the form.

At 2015:4 on April 7, 45, "Reunion" by Suzhi;&le (exid) broke the charts, and the real-time audio sources melon, m, bugs, daum, genie, and na|ver ranked first. exid doesn't have much power to use music sources, even if they buy music sources behind the scenes to hit the charts, they are obviously used for the main hit "ahyeah" later.So, if you have a good start, even if your grades will drop later, it won't drop badly.

Zheng Zhiyong finally breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he didn't smash it.

He lay back on the bed, stared at the phone screen, and suddenly laughed.

If An Xiyan wants to have any music solo activities in the future, it shouldn't be a problem for him to find them to cooperate with.After this busy period is over, he will concentrate on studying jazz.

Zheng Zhiyong checked the alarm on his phone, and then put it on the bedside table - there should be nothing forgotten, right?

Oh, and there is also the matter of "Why does Zhang Xiansheng know about my entanglement in song selection".

Zheng Zhiyong pulled up the quilt, obviously planning to sleep and recharge his batteries, but his head was extraordinarily clear, probably because he finally let go of his worries and eliminated potential interference.

Why did he know... The biggest possibility is:

Rado told him.
