Thinker in the entertainment industry

"What do you think?" Park Jay Bum asked.

Two people are pressing the road together.It's past working hours, and it's time for a walk.Especially Jay Park doesn’t like this kind of quiet exercise very much. He wants to do too many things and has limited time. If he wants to exercise, he usually goes to the gym. But Zheng Zhiyong couldn't digest these efficient methods, so Park Jay had to accommodate his younger brother.

"MQ must try to save money as much as possible. If I go with the intention of working part-time, I'm afraid I'll be arguing at that time. I won't be able to charge much anyway, so I can just pay for free. It seems that I need to write copyright, and I will accumulate experience."

"Is it different for rich people?" Jay Park patted Zheng Zhiyong's shoulder, "But do you have enough money now?" He was a little worried.

"Enough, and there is no big expense. The injury back then has almost healed. Without medical expenses, I still save money." The whole face was covered with a layer of bright color, which made it look more radiant, but compared with this appearance, what he said seemed a bit inconsistent, "After I have a job, my family has no obligation to support me, but when I lack Introduce me to a few short-term jobs when money is needed, there is no problem at all, don’t worry about these, bro.”

"Didn't you really want to go at first?" Park Jae-bum sighed secretly, and found that he seemed to have melancholy on his face, and hurriedly found another topic.

"I sold Yoon Doojoon a small favor, so I didn't charge any money. Even if something goes wrong, I can't blame it."

"It's not necessary." Park Jae-bum frowned, he felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Zheng Zhiyong's mentality.

Alas, it should be said that I have never been normal but I can't tell what's wrong, since I saw him again four years ago.

"I haven't met any bad guys in Cube, and I haven't met any particularly difficult ones." Zheng Zhiyong smiled wryly, "But from the beginning, I had the mentality of entering the workplace, seeing everyone as colleagues, and I couldn't get close."

"Maybe you're right. I really can't give you any good experience in this area," Park Jay-bum said mockingly. He stayed in JYP for four years, but in the end he was dismissed with an unexplainable label. Leaving aside the turmoil of the year, Park Jae-bum’s first career in the workplace can be said to have been quite a failure, “Even in my impression, Yoon Doo-joon is a nice and approachable person, it was five or six years ago.”

"I don't know if it's right to think so. If there are no obvious disadvantages, just go by feeling."

"It's really casual." Park Jae-bum complained with a smile.

"You can't be random, I used to have a clear goal and well-prepared...Brother", Zheng Zhiyong's exclamation suddenly stopped, he stretched out his hand and pulled Park Jay Bum's cuff, "Is that..." Zheng Zhiyong narrowed his eyes Eyes closed, there was a little uncertainty in his tone.

"Aren't you more familiar with that face than I am?" Park Jay Fan followed Zheng Zhiyong's line of sight, he was a little bit surprised and couldn't laugh or cry, "Go, go, go", after looking left and right, he pointed to the dessert shop next to him, "Buy a drink to go".

The younger brother's heart knot couldn't be untied. As an elder brother, he had to stand up when he should. Fortunately, it was not difficult.

"Zai Fanxi."

"Minho xi, hello." Park Jae-bum leaned forward slightly, and Choi Min-ho, who was walking towards him, returned the same gesture.

Then they went their separate ways.Park Jay and Choi Minho both debuted in 2008. Choi Minho’s shinee was a few months earlier, but Park Jay is much older. They know each other but they are not familiar with each other. Park Jay is going underground more and more. If you are not in the same system as Choi Minho, several factors are superimposed, if you meet outside, just say hello and you're done.

"I said, you really want to detour when you see people from Sm in the future." When Zheng Zhiyong came out, Park Jay Bum, who was finally relieved, couldn't help nagging, "People who met you back then But quite a lot, you have changed a lot in other aspects, but your appearance hasn't changed much, to be honest, didn't Li Qiguang, Yin Doojun and the others notice anything wrong?"

Yoon Doo-joon and Lee Ki-kwang, who Park Jae-bum said were suspected to be lame, were working hard to practice for the comeback stage.

But the hardest work is not the two of them, but the first lead singer of Beast, Yang Yaoxie. "The difficulty of dancing is the same, why is my part so difficult in the song?", just a few days before the comeback, the members of beast have already used the combination of singing and dancing in practice, and the result is that after a while, Yang Yaoxie felt that he His voice was about to smoke, "The one who sang in front of me is still Hyun Seung".

Zhang Xiansheng, who was drinking water, almost choked when he heard this, "What's the matter with me?" He was shot while lying down, okay?

"Please, it's okay if you don't want to sing when you sing live, don't change the tune casually, some of my tunes are hard to find." Liang Yaoxie looked earnest.

Zhang Xiansheng, who was very casual when he sang live: "...It's not the first time you sang behind me. It's Long Junheng who made the song difficult to find the tune."

Yoon Doo-joon, Lee Ki-kwang and Son Dong-woon who were watching the drama laughed together, "Jun-hyung still couldn't hide in the end", and Yoon Doo-joon's problem of "hitting someone while laughing" broke out again, making Son Dong-woon next to him grinning.

His voice is fine but his physical strength has bottomed out, so Long Junhyung is leaning against the wall and panting, he just raised his eyelids: "It's okay, Yaoxie, you can do it, Jung Jiyong also said that the chorus I wrote is hard to sing, As soon as I said it was for you, I—" He spread his hands.

Liang Yaoxie was melancholy on the ground, his face was filled with the sadness of "I can't live through this day".When he was sad, Sun Dongyun had already started a new topic: "Speaking of which, what exactly does Zheng Zhiyong want to do? I always thought that he would develop towards a composer, but he didn't seem so active."

"Who knows, he helped write a few chords during the arrangement, and I said he wouldn't do it after adding his name." Long Junhyung was also at a loss, "By the way, Doojoon, don't you want him to cooperate with MQ? Well, how's it going?"

"I agreed, and declared that it's free. What are you doing? Isn't it short of money?" Yin Doujun shook his head, "His idea is even harder to guess than Hyun Seung's."

"What's the matter with me!" Zhang Xiansheng, who was shot while lying down again, felt wronged, but after protesting, he joined the ranks of his teammates' gossip, "I'm afraid that's the case, Zheng Zhiyong doesn't have any extravagant things on him. But it just feels like he’s not short of money, which is weird.”

"Aura cultivated by rich people?" Li Qiguang said.The fact that Zheng Zhiyong's background is unusual has already spread throughout the company. Ordinary people are not qualified to be exempted from the obligation to bow by the former boss as soon as they enter the company.

"I think he is afraid of trouble. Selling songs to ledapple and exid is purely to collect money to do business, but if you go to mq to collect money and work, if something goes wrong, brother's place is not good, and he doesn't know Doujun. To what extent are you familiar with them?" Zheng Zhiyong's mind is not complicated, but the members of beast didn't think so much at the beginning, and it was the youngest Sun Dongyun who thought of it first.

The others are not stupid, and they quickly figured out the key point, "I was negligent", Yin Doujun slapped his forehead, and said sullenly, "It's really... I haven't used my brain for a long time."

"It's okay, Zheng Zhiyong can agree, at least it's not something that has suffered a big loss, otherwise..." Long Junheng was about to say, "I will make up for him at that time", but the words got stuck on the edge of his mouth, "Again Speaking of which, what does this guy want?"

"When he first came in, I thought the company was going to operate an underground rapper, but it turned out that he didn't intend to go on the big stage at all, and the company didn't move." Liang Yaoxie had already recovered his blood at this time, and turned his head to join the ranks of gossip.

"If Zheng Zhiyong is going to make his debut, he has really good qualifications. He is handsome, has a good voice, is strong in rap, and can create. It's just his legs and waist. I don't know what's going on."

"He needs to be in good health, and it's fine to debut as an idol. If he joins the company a few years earlier, beast won't have anything to do with me..."

Long Junheng was joking, and Li Qiguang who was beside him suddenly slapped his thigh: "I remembered!"

"Remember last year when Zheng Zhiyong first came here, I thought he looked familiar, and I remembered who he looked like!" Li Qiguang ignored the girly physique Long Junhyung who was a little resentful because of being frightened, and said a little excitedly, "Doujun, You still remember, in the second half of 2007, we were all in jyp. At that time, we already knew that the company would launch a boy group next year, and the most threatening opponent in the same period was the group that SM would promote, that is, Shinee, the two companies It’s not too far away, so we often go to find out who the members of SM’s new group are and what level they are.”

"You guys went, but I didn't. I was worried because my practice time was too short at that time." Yin Doujun quickly separated the relationship.

Four out of the six beasts have practiced in jyp, but they left for different reasons.Sun Dongyun voluntarily left early due to academic pressure, Yang Yaoxie was forced to quit due to abnormal performance in the monthly exam, Yoon Doojoon participated in the member selection program "Hot Blooded Boys" organized by jyp for 2008am and 2pm in 2 and was eliminated. Among the jyp trainees, Li Qiguang, who is in the upper circle of trainees, did not even get the qualification to participate in the selection by accident. He followed Hong Shengcheng, who left jyp and established his own company, to Cube.

"Go on, Qiguang, how many Shinee members did you find out at that time?" Long Junheng asked.

"When I went to inquire, there was no suspense about the position of the lead singer, and the captain was almost determined. The candidate for the lead dancer was said to be very controversial." Li Qiguang tried his best to recall that it happened seven years ago, and many things have changed. It was blurred, "The relationship between the two people with the loudest voices is still very good. I saw them coming out together. I didn't know each other at the time. Later, I found out that one of them is Senior Li Taemin, and the other looks very similar to Zheng Zhiyong. I was thinking that it turned out to be SM, a bunch of good-looking kids."

"Brother, are you sure you remember correctly? Why do I think that person is Kai?" Sun Dongyun said that exo's lead dancer Kai is the number one dancer among the younger generation, with excellent dancing skills, and the relationship with Shinee's lead dancer Li Taemin It's also very good, no matter how you think about it, you can meet the conditions.

When he said this, everyone laughed, and Li Qiguang quickly added: "This one won't remember, that person has very fair skin." And Kai is famous for his dark complexion.

That's it... Several people exchanged glances, and they all thought of Zheng Zhiyong's fair skin, outrageous appearance, and supposedly inconvenient legs...

"But, if it were Zheng Zhiyong, wouldn't the position of rapper be more secure?" Zhang Xiansheng said suddenly.

right……

"Could someone fix it?" Zhang Xiansheng's words successfully convinced Li Qiguang that SM has many artists with outstanding singing and dancing skills, but there is not a single rapper who can do it. Zheng Zhiyong's level is absolutely crushed.

"It may also be just like the l of Infinite and the Chinese representative in "Non-Summit Talks."

Yoon Doojoon's words put an end to the gossip among the beast members, and the six of them started practicing hard again, but Jung Jiyong didn't know anything about it—he was still digesting the shock of today's "encounter".

Like... seven years have passed.

Zheng Zhiyong stood in the bathroom, looking at himself in the mirror.After returning to the residence, he had already taken off his coat, revealing the light gray sweater inside, and the sense of oppression caused by his prominent appearance seemed to have faded away. When he was quietly staring at a place, There is a feeling of "warm man".

Is it good-looking anyway?

Recalling when he first heard such a statement, Zheng Zhiyong made a "hum", made a face in the mirror, and then quickly returned to the expressionless state. No, he originally had a flat corner of his mouth. Time has slumped down.

In the end, it seemed that there was only this face left, which had never changed.

He leaned forward, pressed his forehead against the glass above the washstand, and slowly closed his eyes.

He didn't feel the pain, no matter how painful it was, he had already experienced it a long time ago and endured it for a long time.What Zheng Zhiyong felt was a heavy sense of chaos, as if looking around, there was no way out.

And he can't complain yet.

Because this is his own hypocrisy.

Zheng Zhiyong pressed his right hand flat on the glass, supporting his body to stand up straight again.He stared at himself in the mirror for a while, calm and lifeless, then withdrew his hands, bowed his head and went to wash.
