Thinker in the entertainment industry

Zheng Zhiyong went to Rado through Gray's relationship because he felt that it would be awkward to tell Long Junheng or Zhang Xiansheng that he wanted to talk to Rado, not because he was not familiar with Rado, what Rado wanted to say to Zhang Xiansheng, Even Zheng Zhiyong couldn't stop him.

Rado told Zhang Xiansheng about his conversation with Zheng Zhiyong. It is not impossible for this kind of thing to happen. Ordinarily, it is not very difficult for Zheng Zhiyong to think about it. As for why he didn’t think of it before... it should be something he was thinking about, so his brain short-circuited .

Since this is the case, there is nothing to worry about. Let's continue talking with Zhang Xiansheng tomorrow.

Zheng Zhiyong, who had settled down a lot of worries at once, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

When I got up from the bed in the morning, I also received a "thank you + congratulations" message from Xu Suzhi and Ahn Hyojin. Xu Suzhi also reported the sound source results of "Reunion" when she sent the message-at six o'clock in the morning, "Reunion" "Dropped to No. [-] on bugs, and still maintained No. [-] on the other five lists.

An Xiyan also sent a message to Zheng Zhiyong through kakao, and she also read the comments of netizens: "They all said that the song is very good but the story they tell is a bit unresonant. Apart from the sadness in the chorus, they also said that it is not like the outside world. Composers like Le’s self-composed music, because rappers have unique ideas.”

Songs with high quality are hard to resonate with, so "Reunion" has achieved good results but still can't become a divine comedy?Zheng Zhiyong fell into deep thought after reading An Xiyan's news.

In the future, let's give exid more songs that are not so "unique". Exid is not a concept, and its popularity is not high enough to try it casually.Except for An Xiyan's jazz.

Zheng Zhiyong snapped the leather case on the phone shut, bowed his head and smiled.

How far have you come to now? You have thought too much.

When he arrived at the company, Zhang Xiansheng also congratulated Zheng Zhiyong on the achievement of "Reunion".This is not the first time that Zheng Zhiyong's song has achieved good results, but when "Tears" and "mywayornoway", Zheng Zhiyong and Zhang Xiansheng were just acquaintances, but now they are gradually familiar with each other because of the cooperation in work.

After you get used to it, you will be able to say more.For example, regarding the choice of the title song, after going back and thinking about it, Zhang Xiansheng finally found a suitable expression: "You are hesitating, and I am also hesitating. The style I like is when I was in beast. It’s difficult to do, but it’s not a route that no one has taken. On the contrary, there are still many people who have taken it. And if I do this style, I haven’t got very good songs and good designs. It’s my taste. , or do a line that already has good songs and a unique concept, I am also thinking about it, and I have to make a choice.”

Zhang Xiansheng doesn't talk too much, so this is an explanation that flatters Zheng Zhiyong, at least it sounds much better than "Anyway, grades are not important, so don't make us all work so hard", although Zheng Zhiyong Yong felt that Rado told Zhang Xiansheng about the conversation between them, which had a certain influence on Zhang Xiansheng's later attitude change. "I'll do my best," he said seriously.

But Zheng Zhiyong was too serious, and Zhang Xiansheng was not used to it: "Don't have too high expectations for the results, just do it well and leave no regrets."

"I know", Zheng Zhiyong didn't expect results, he didn't forget who Zhang Xiansheng's solo would bump into, but Zhang Xiansheng's persuasion was very useful to him, "Is there anything else to do now?" Before finding a choreographer to arrange the stage.

"The mv can be played later, it doesn't matter, now there is a problem, who will sing the rap in it."

In "First Love of the Twenty Generations", there is a section of rap that is neither long nor short, and the last few lines of the rap will be harmonized with the singer. Which rapper will do the feat to perform this rap? The effect is clearly influential.

"Brother Xiansheng, is there anyone you want to cooperate with? I'll see if I can get in touch."

"Who can you contact?" Zhang Xiansheng asked curiously.

"All from aomg is fine", it's not that he made a promise on behalf of others, they have talked about this kind of thing in aomg before, and they all said that if Zheng Zhiyong encounters such a thing as lack of feats when he writes songs for someone, it is his duty to do so, "Others also have The relationship is okay, but I don’t know if I can ask for it. I’m not popular in the underground, so I don’t know how many people can talk about it.” Zheng Zhiyong thought for a while, and then added, “I know there is a person with a voice and a virtuous person. Brother Sheng is more suitable, but... I guess I can't invite you."

"Who?"

"Giriboy, from justmusic, I have a relationship with cknut, the acting president of justmusic, and I don't like each other." Zheng Zhiyong said with a deadpan expression.

Zhang Xiansheng laughed "poof", "It looks like this", he didn't know that Zheng Zhiyong and cknut had dissed each other in the underground, and he just made judgments based on the images of these two people in his eyes, "I used to It’s weird to hear that you rap underground, you don’t look like hip-hop at all.”

"What you saw was me working in the company. If I was too sharp, I would be unpopular."

However, if he behaved very hip-hop in the company, he would probably have become familiar with Zhang Xiansheng, a hip-hop lover.

"Ah, that's it", Zhang Xiansheng immediately understood, "Well done".

Zheng Zhiyong laughed.

After laughing, we still have to talk about business. In fact, there is another choice for rapper candidates, and that is Zheng Zhiyong himself.

Zheng Zhiyong didn't mention it to Zhang Xiansheng before. First, the title song has not been decided yet, saying that there is no need for a feat candidate. Second, because the beginning of the cooperation was too bad, he was somewhat embarrassed to face Zhang Xiansheng. In addition, Zheng Zhiyong didn't think the feat candidate It is a very important thing, a suitable rapper can always be found, and the passage he wrote is not too difficult, it is not a problem to find a rapper in an idol group to take on the role, the big deal is that Zheng Zhiyong will give some advice behind the scenes.

As for Zhang Xiansheng, he and Zheng Zhiyong mentioned this matter mainly because he wanted to hear the effect of Zheng Zhiyong's performance.

Of course Zheng Zhiyong will not refuse, for him, it is possible that he can’t sing the songs he wrote, and he can’t sing the raps he wrote, that’s impossible: “Will Xiansheng know the harmony part? "

"Yes." Zhang Xiansheng nodded, "Try it?"

The overall tone of the song "First Love of the Twenties" is calm and warm.Zheng Zhiyong's rap part can be regarded as a process of a man's thinking, restraint and making a promise, and the later part of his rap matching with Zhang Xiansheng's singing is a breaking point of emotion.

"...If you are unlucky, you encounter something that is not suitable. Even if you love, you can only endure it.... Fierce emotions, heavy responsibilities. It is the lava in the heart, and there is no contradiction."

Zheng Zhiyong made a gesture to Zhang Xiansheng, indicating that the harmony began.

"I met a perfect girl, so perfect that I can't accept love with flaws. If falling in love may fail or cause harm, I would rather exist forever in the form of friends."

Zhang Xiansheng's voice was deep and continuous, like a melancholy passage played by a cello.And Zheng Zhiyong's voice was clear and gloomy, with a hint of madness in his determination.

"Don't separate, I won't separate, I am willing to spend my whole life in love with you—"

Although he only harmonized for a short period, Zhang Xiansheng's emotions were obviously mobilized. After Zheng Zhiyong shut his mouth, he continued to sing.But in the song, they are connected together, so it is very comfortable to sing.

The moment Zhang Xiansheng raised the high note, Zheng Zhiyong stretched out his hands and applauded.

On the contrary, Zhang Xiansheng was a little embarrassed, and lowered his head after the high note, "Sure enough, your rap is great." He extended a thumb to Zheng Zhiyong, and sighed, "This time is even better than the one in "Hit Maker". nice to hear".

"Ah, is that right, isn't it because brother chose the song this time?" Zheng Zhiyong joked.

"But", Zheng Zhiyong's level has nothing to say, but Zhang Xiansheng still has other concerns, "Aren't you going to participate in "showmethemoney", the audition time seems to have collided with comeback", after the excitement, he became distressed again, "It's kind of bad."

From Zhang Xiansheng's point of view, the audition is such a time-consuming thing, it naturally takes time and energy to prepare.Zheng Zhiyong still has to do feat for Zhang Xiansheng during this period, so he is a bit too busy.What's more, Zheng Zhiyong has not resigned from Cube yet. The recording arrangement of "showmethemoney" took into account that there are student parties and working parties among the candidates participating in the audition, and set the date on the Sunday of May 5th, but it is inevitable to involve energy to get a good result.

Zheng Zhiyong didn't care about this: "If singing on the stage every day will have a great impact on the audition, I won't be able to last long afterward, and it doesn't hurt to get used to the camera in advance, it's not a problem."

"What about the comments? I went to "showmethemoney" not long after I debuted on stage, how would I be judged?"

Zhang Xiansheng actually mentioned the main point, which surprised Zheng Zhiyong a little, but this is not a big problem, "When I participated, I already had the status of 'the producer of Zhang Xiansheng's solo album'. If it doesn't work, I still cover my face when I'm on stage," he joked, "I also avoided letting my face steal the limelight."

"So you are willing to go on stage?" Zhang Xiansheng asked in disbelief.

"I have other things to worry about," Zheng Zhiyong said, "Is it okay to use an unknown rapper like me as a feat?"

"There are not many rappers who can help me gain popularity", Zhang Xiansheng sees this very clearly, "Besides, I think after you go up, there will be a 'thinker' name on the hot search list, and maybe my name will also be included." .

It makes sense, but I'm speechless. "Then... it's settled?"

"What else, let's settle it. After we discuss it and hand it over to a dedicated team, your task will be much lighter."

What Zhang Xiansheng said is still the truth.After the two of them discussed the concepts almost, they reported to Cube to contact a professional team.The styling, album cover and inner pages are designed by someone, the MV needs to be contacted by the filming team, and the dance choreographer will do it—the points proposed by Zhang Xiansheng and Zheng Zhiyong have also been accepted. I watched the whole process, only the recording, and I just need to make suggestions for the rest.

There is no rush to shoot the mv that needs someone from the outside, the design and choreography are all done inside the cube, Zhang Xiansheng has a schedule from time to time, almost all the coordination work is done by Zheng Zhiyong—even if Zhang Xiansheng is willing, Zheng Zhiyong will not let it go He went to do it, compared to worrying about Zhang Xiansheng's mouth that would fall off the chain at any time, Zheng Zhiyong felt that it would be better to go into battle himself.

What's more, this is all useful experience, and the difficulty is not high.A solo event that only lasts for two weeks doesn't require a few pictures.The level of the choreographer teacher is also passable. After giving the concept and focus, although the choreographed dance does not seem to have any classic movements that will be widely spread, it is not bad for viewing and uniqueness.

Apart from his own work, Zheng Zhiyong spends most of his time searching for suitable songs from the pile of songs received by Cube.

That's right, he finally chose to withdraw the three songs he used for the included songs.There is a 90.00% probability that the songs included in this album will become cannon fodder. After all, Zheng Zhiyong has selfish intentions. Before that, his desire to make this album a good one overwhelmed his selfishness. Zhang Xiansheng opened his mouth to persuade Zheng Zhiyong As if forgiven.

It may also be that he believes in himself more, after the success of "Reunion".

""Reunion" should be number one on the weekly list", said Zhang Xiansheng, who was looking at the music list on his mobile phone, "it should not be on the monthly list".

Zheng Zhiyong is very indifferent to this: "That's normal, I'm very grateful for the first place in the weekly list, the relationship is so 'weird'."

"Reunion" was released in the second week of April, and by the end of this week, it had already abdicated from the top of each list, but it basically remained in the top ten, and its stamina was not bad.Zhang Xiansheng infers that "Reunion" will be number one on the weekly list, Zheng Zhiyong believes it, but don't count on it in the future.

"Looking at the lyrics is a very strange feeling, but I can't feel it, I just think the song is very nice." Zhang Xiansheng said.

"Can't feel it?"

"I'm the kind of person who doesn't have feelings, and I can't empathize with my friends' sorrows." Zhang Xiansheng's eyes fell on the earphone cable wrapped in Zheng Zhiyong's hand. Before talking to him, Zheng Zhiyong was listening to other composers. To Cube's song demo, "So you don't need to give me too good songs in the recorded songs, especially ballads".

"What about tonight's recording?" This time, there are two songs to be recorded, the main one is "20 Years Old First Love" and the second one is "Street Light".

"I'll try."

Zheng Zhiyong smiled, stood up and stretched his muscles slowly: "Let's start, brother Xiansheng."
