Thinker in the entertainment industry

"It was a bit of a surprise, and it seemed like something he could do."

After they talked about what cknut did at the audition at the West Exit, Zheng Zhiyong was surprised at first, and then couldn't laugh or cry: "I sympathize with Zico when you say it, but he has more things to do." For the sake of the topic of the show, it's okay to be arranged to interrogate Song Minho, but also met cknut, who played cards out of common sense.

"Sure enough, he is a kind thinker." Olltii said.

"If you encounter these things, I definitely don't sympathize, and I'm not my friend," Zheng Zhiyong joked, "But you won't go, the assumption is not valid."

"Will you go or can't go?" Olltii suddenly had an IQ on the line.

Zheng Zhiyong smiled without saying a word.

"I think," Tablo said at this moment, "Will the showdown between thinker and cknut be the focus later on in the show?"

As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of laughter at the scene, Park Jay even whistled: "That will be very interesting."

"I think so too, it will be very interesting, but spend the limited time arguing with him..." Zheng Zhiyong shook his head, "It's kind of boring".

"That's because you quarreled almost everything you could," Simond said.

"Yeah, a thinker who is already very experienced in responding to diss." Jung Jiyong stretched out his right hand and pointed his thumb at himself, "For cknut, I think he might as well stare at Song Minho."

"There are quite a few people staring at Song Minho." Tablo's painting style is very similar to Zheng Zhiyong's, both of them look gentle, but their words are meaningful.

Don’t think that underground rappers don’t care about fame and wealth. They stick to idolrappers. Part of it is because many idolrappers can’t sing well and talk about rap, and the level of rap is not good. The other half is for their own considerations, fame. , who would think it was not enough?

"Insufficient level will only embarrass myself." Zheng Zhiyong said lightly.

In the previous YG trainee bi and bobby, when they participated in the competition, they were caught by other underground rappers, and they were really embarrassed. Bi forgot his words twice during the competition, and bobby overcame obstacles all the way to win the championship. There was also a lot of luck during the competition .A year later it was Song Minho's turn, but it was not so easy to deal with.It's not that Song Minho's hard power is much higher than his two predecessors in the competition, but that after bi and bobby competed, the underground rappers will almost figure out what routines the underground rappers will use to treat idolrappers. Hao, the on-site experience is far better than the trainee who spends most of the time behind closed doors, so he is definitely a hard role. The level of rap is not enough to beat Song Minho, and dissing with an attitude of "I am better than you" will only become a joke. Regardless of how cknut people are, the rap level can compete with Song Minho.

Tablo took a sip of barley tea, and at the same time took a deep look at Zheng Zhiyong: "I always feel that you want to diss people."

"If I am not targeted, I will not diss someone." - One of Zheng Zhiyong's principles.

"Someone?" Olltii's IQ went online again, and he was keenly aware of the problem in Zheng Zhiyong's words.

"If you want to diss, it's interesting to diss a group. To be more civilized, I'm targeting a specific phenomenon."

"It's not bad to do well in this direction," Tablo said with a sigh, "but it's easy to offend people."

It is said that it is a party, but the topic of discussion at the wine table is getting closer and closer to seriousness.Most of you present here are true fans of hip-hop, and most of them have been in the entertainment industry before. They don’t have the secondary thinking of “I’m so good but no one likes it, it must be because you don’t know how to appreciate it”. When it comes to "Show Methemoney" and the future development of hip-hop in South Korea, if the spoken words are changed into rap words, it is enough to form a large-scale hip-hop performance.

"For freestyle to develop, it needs cultural support. Hip-hop is difficult to flourish in a conservative social environment, unless it is used as a channel to relieve pressure at a critical point, and then ushers in changes in the general environment." Zheng Zhiyong is still It was that plain look, with a faint sharpness under the harmless shell.

"You know this, but do you know that there are so many people who hate you not only because of your unique style", olltii said, "hip-hop is obviously a kind of rebellious music, and the soul lies in freedom, and you, Restraint to the limit, no swear words, no sex, and no basic desires, if there are more people like you, everyone will get used to that kind of 'civilized' hip-hop, real hip-hop, but no one can Accepted".

"I know what you mean. I once read an analogy in an article written by a Chinese writer. In a dark room, if someone says to open a window, others will say why open the window at night. Candles, if they shout all day long to tear down the roof, they will say, let’s open the windows.” Zheng Zhiyong’s tone was flat, with subtle irony.

"Without real radicalism to back it up, conservatives see legitimate demands as radical."

Tablo made a very precise summary of Zheng Zhiyong's words, but it was not so easy to understand. At least Park Jae-bum, who was born in Korea, was very difficult to listen to, and he had to labor Tablo to say it again in English.

"You should be on the same team as Brother Tablo." Finally he said to Zheng Zhiyong full of resentment.

"Isn't there still a team task? I also need to consider the style of my teammates." Zheng Zhiyong said, "Also, why don't you want me to join the aomg team?"

Jay Park covered his face, while Simon gloated: "This feeling is the same as when I was urged by thinker to produce a work."

"I didn't force my brother, I just stated the facts." Zheng Zhiyong said.

Although it is far from Zheng Zhiyong's music concept, Park Jae-bum does not completely disagree with Zheng Zhiyong's thinking: "If you only focus on diss and swag, it will be difficult for hip-hop to continue to develop. Jiyong's There is nothing to say about the content of the lyrics, but he uses hip-hop as a channel of expression, and the spirit of hip-hop is absent.”

"It's still the environment." Xikou said, he was playing freestyle, and his requirements for the atmosphere were much higher than those of other people present.

There were too many people present, and their views were also different. Although the topic was profound, it didn't go very deep.Xikou and Jay Park hit it off, chatting in English for more than an hour while drinking and talking about the future development of hip-hop in Korea. Simond also took a few steps away and took photos with his mobile phone to record the video, and even dubbed Jay Park while recording the video: "West Exit...I...love you very much..."

"It's a bit like a date, isn't it?" Tablo said to Zheng Zhiyong, who was standing shoulder to shoulder with him. Zheng Zhiyong glanced at him and dragged the stool to the side, and Tablo burst out laughing , almost choked on his own saliva.

Compared with Jay Park and West Exit, who are more or less street-like, the visual effect of Zheng Zhiyong and tablo together is a full "civilized person" atmosphere.Zheng Zhiyong is a graduate of the Japanese Department of Korea University, and Tablo is a master of English Literature from Stanford University in the United States. His education is not low. The two people's cultivation and level of perspective are also very similar. They are both well-educated but unwilling Because of the well-behaved type, they had seen too little before, but this time they said a few more words at the wine table, and they quickly discovered the fact that their auras matched, and then they got together.

"You want to continue your underground line in the show? Social topics are not so easy to touch." Tablo said.He was once almost cornered by netizens because of unfounded doubts about his academic qualifications, and he has a deep understanding of cyber violence in South Korea.

"It doesn't have to be a very controversial topic at the beginning, and it doesn't have to be very straightforward. You have to give it a try."

"Is there no more moderate or safe issue?"

"For things that are not so exciting, I prefer to write mainstream songs and spread them widely."

Tablo almost choked again: "I want to search for the pop songs you wrote!"

Zheng Zhiyong didn't expect this direction. He quickly went through the bunch of songs he had released in his mind: "Spring" and "Tears" both convey emotions, and "youdon'tknow" is a matter of mbalq , "mywayornoway" is an expression of attitude, and there is no pressure to change it to a hip-hop song. The jazz version of "ahyeah" is just a re-arrangement, and the lyrics and music are not written by him. There are also "Reunion" and "Twenty Generations' First Love"... …

""Twenty Generations' First Love" and the trend of late marriage?" Tablo didn't know what he saw, and read word by word.

"what?"

When Zheng Zhiyong went to participate in "showmethemoney", Zhang Xiansheng completed the stage of "The First Love of the [-]th Generation" alone in "Inkigayo", and also ended the first week of playing songs.

After a lot of hard work, Zhang Xiansheng’s performance on the stage was very good. Needless to say, singing and dancing, although the rap part is not as easy as Zheng Zhiyong’s, it sounds like it’s not too much compared to ordinary idolrappers.But this level can only make the person being asked say "good job", not enough to bring topics like Zheng Zhiyong.

There are no new topics to stimulate, but the results of "Twenty Generations' First Love" are still very good.The audience of women in the [-]s, [-]s, and even some [-]s who are still looking forward to love is surprisingly large, and they have shown a very strong love for "First Love of the Twenties". "First Love in the [-]th Generation" is still closely following "loser" and "baebae".As long as there is no accident of the level of ""Up and Down" retrograde", the ranking of "Twenty Generations of First Love" in the annual list will not be more than [-] different from "loser" and "baebae", that is to say, the top five in the annual list Ten, it is already a certainty, and the top twenty of the annual rankings are all hopeful to hit.

This is a very miraculous achievement. If at the beginning the reporters only regarded this song as a dance song that became popular because it was pleasant to the ear, then the trend of music downloads later made them overthrow their original opinion. When thinking about new reasons for the popularity of "First Love in the Twenties", a reporter noticed a social phenomenon:

Declining marriage rates, and rising age at first marriage.

"The popularity of "Twenty Generations of First Love" is related to women's gradually increasing requirements for marriage. It's great, Mr. Zheng."

"Reporters are very good at finding reasons," Jung Jiyong said, "Also, don't make such envious expressions, didn't the evaluation of "The King of Masked Singer" the day before yesterday be very good, Lu Xingjae."

On the second day after the audition, Zheng Zhiyong went to the crew of "School 2015" to look for Lu Xingcai. He went there when he was about to get off work. You can leave.Under such circumstances, Zheng Zhiyong was easily taken to his resting place by Lu Xingcai.

On May 5th, Zheng Zhiyong participated in the audition of "showmethemoney" and passed. Lu Xingcai, whose alias was "Bumblebee", took off his mask in "The King of Masked Singer" that aired that day.He passed the first two rounds and only lost in the final, but he has already demonstrated his excellent singing skills. After taking off his mask, Lu Xingcai admitted that he was just the "sub-vocalist" in the group. The strength of his brothers is even better. The attitude has won unanimous praise, "The King of Masked Singer" is currently rated well, and Lu Xingcai has also given a strong sense of presence in front of the people.

If "School 2015" can do better, Lu Xingcai will win it.

Lu Xingcai also understood, "I still want to watch TV dramas, the setting of the Black Knight should be fine." The crew was full of people, so he didn't talk about himself, but asked about Zheng Zhiyong's song, "Go to the social edition How do you feel, have you read the report?"

"It's not me," Zheng Zhiyong said. First, reporters from the entertainment page mentioned the social background when analyzing the reasons for the song's popularity. When he heard his song, Zheng Zhiyong felt quite helpless, "I read the report, but I missed the point."

"Ok?"

"Marriage is a contract. The decrease in the marriage rate is because more people feel that after signing this contract, the losses outweigh the gains. What should be done is to improve the terms, not lower the requirements."

"Teacher", Lu Xingcai's face was wrinkled together, "Can you speak more plainly?"

"No need," Zheng Zhiyong patted him on the shoulder earnestly, "You don't need to know this yet."

At this time, the evening sun turned another angle, and a shadow moved into Zheng Zhiyong's field of vision.

Someone is there!Zheng Zhiyong turned his head, and saw a girl in school uniform with a ponytail standing at attention and lowering her head: "Hello, teacher."

Zheng Zhiyong, who was just about to stand up, lost his legs and sat back down: "Don't call me that..." I didn't teach you.

He knows this person, the heroine of "School 2015", the famous young actress Kim So-hyun.The age is really young, it was in 1999, and the acting skills are really good. In "School 2015", one person played two roles very well.

Lu Xingcai suppressed a smile and interjected: "Have you completely resigned?"

"It is supposed to be, but due to some special reasons, the last class will be next Monday." The program group of "showmethemoney" wanted to film the scene where he was teaching in Cube, Zheng Zhiyong contacted Cube later, and told it again, and by the way brought btob to relax The well-known members and the new girl group made appearances.

Lu Xingjae put his hand on Zheng Zhiyong's shoulder and introduced to Kim So-hyun, "Our company's foreign language teacher will leave soon." Meet—he just finished making a solo album for our company's seniors."

"Do you have something to do with Lu Xingcai?" For Zheng Zhiyong, whose several identities have not yet merged into one, self-introduction is definitely hard work, so he decided to change the subject.

"No", Kim So-hyun shook his head, "I thought it was a teammate who came to visit the class..." If they are both artists, it is normal to meet and get to know each other.

Lu Xingcai was even more sad: "My teammates don't have faces of this level... Oh my god, the average appearance of our company will drop after you leave."

Zheng Zhiyong: ...you complain about the faces of your seniors and teammates, do the Cube people know?
