Thinker in the entertainment industry

"Infinite Challenge?" An Shuojun's voice on the phone was obviously surprised, "They are looking for you?"

"Just contact the alternate, there are many people to choose from", Zheng Zhiyong's tone was very calm, and as a matter of course, "I think it is necessary to tell the representative about this matter", the implication is that we have already notified, to Zheng Zhiyong For Yong, it is to complete the task.

An Shuojun was silent for a while: "What do you think?"

"It's better not to do a show that is watched by people all over the country. "Show Methemoney" is more important."

"How is your collaboration song writing?"

"It's hard to say right away, there are some suitable songs that have not been submitted yet."

Zheng Zhiyong said.

An Shuojun will pay attention to the movement of "Infinite Challenge", if both CJ and Zheng Zhiyong think that the time is ripe, then take action.

This is exactly what Zheng Zhiyong wanted.

"I heard what Gray said." Park Jae-bum, who was not present when Gray and Jung Ji-yong talked about "Infinite Challenge" and only found out what they talked about from Gray later, immediately called Jung Ji-yong , "What do you want to do, Jiyong?"

They have officially known each other for five years. Park Jae-bum brought Zheng Zhiyong into the hip-hop circle, and Zheng Zhiyong also contributed a lot in the process of Park Jae-bum's comeback. They may have different ideas, but for Each other has absolute understanding and trust.So Jay Park was not shy at all, and asked directly.

And Zheng Zhiyong didn't hide it: "Show Me The Money is the most important thing. I won't disrupt the long-prepared plan for this matter. "Infinite Challenge"... If they think I am qualified, I will Will not shirk."

"Then?"

"Believe me, I'm not too provocative to offend jyp and the show crew all at once. I'm just thinking, if I can do better..." Zheng Zhiyong, who said too much inattentively, laughed He smiled, "Don't say it, brother, or someone will think I'm talking big."

"I know you can't do anything too stupid, at least you're much smarter than me." Having said that, Jay Park still sounded a little uneasy, "But..."

"Wait a minute, a camera is coming, can we talk about it later?"

Zheng Zhiyong saw the staff coming in with the cameraman walking towards him, so he quickly said to Park Jay Bum on the phone.

"okay, bye."

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Zhiyong stood up, and the person who rushed in said hello.

"This is thinker, waiting for the stage recording of "The First Love of the Twenty Generations"."

Jung Jiyong picked up the mask and put it in front of his face, smiling at the camera.

A week later, Zheng Zhiyong appeared in "m! Countdown", the tension at the beginning has completely disappeared.With his rich life experience, it is not surprising that he passed the transition period quickly, the difference is only a few days more or less.

Even though there will be a stage recording soon, Zheng Zhiyong did not show the slightest discomfort when facing the cameras of the "showmethemoney" program group.Zheng Zhiyong's answer to the program group's question "You don't wear a mask off stage" is consistent and natural: "Wearing a mask on stage is for stage effect, why do you still wear it off stage?"

"Just for the stage effect?" The program group who is very familiar with the insider affairs, including how to hype the popularity, will not easily believe Zheng Zhiyong's words.

"Maybe it's to prevent me from being regarded as a backup dancer under his comparison." Zhang Xiansheng, who had just danced in the waiting room for a while before the program team entered the door, inserted a sentence at this time, and the effect was equivalent to stabbing Zheng Zhiyong from behind. .

If this situation happened to someone who is easily shy and nervous, it would be a moment of panic, but Zheng Zhiyong would not: "I just take this as a compliment on my appearance, brother Xiansheng."

It seems that nothing can be found on the mask issue. The program team decisively changed the topic. Anyway, Zheng Zhiyong has many things to explore, so don't be too obsessed with a certain one: "The popularity of "The First Love of the Twenties" is very hot recently. Woolen cloth."

As the singer of the song, Zhang Xiansheng had to speak again: "Zheng Zhiyong can finally feel relieved, he was worried about the repercussions before."

"It's my first solo in six years since my debut, if I screw up, how can I have the face to go back to cube." Zheng Zhiyong said with a smile.However, Zhang Xiansheng's reaction at this time was exceptionally fast: "Didn't you resign if you didn't mess it up?"

Zheng Zhiyong suddenly got stuck, and it took a while to think of a response: "We can continue to cooperate in the future."

Zhang Xiansheng smiled, he went around Zheng Zhiyong's back, put his hands on his shoulders: "Remember what you said."

Zheng Zhiyong: I seem to have been tricked...

"Have you both watched the recent discussion about this song? How do you feel about the analysis of the song's connotation?"

"showmethemoney" regards Zheng Zhiyong as a player worthy of excavation or speculation, and "thinker" has been very topical recently, so they specially sent people to the backstage of "m!countdown" to shoot - two programs They are all from m TV station, and there is no difficulty in operation.

And because it was recorded and edited later, the waiting room was not like the scene of the show, there were a lot of people watching, and the show team had no scruples about asking questions. "First Love of the Twenties" was used by social reporters to explain the current trend of late marriage and late childbearing. At other times, it would not be easy to mention it to the creator face to face. After all, literary and art workers who touch social topics are just very less part.

Hearing this question, Zhang Xiansheng immediately squatted down and hid himself behind Zheng Zhiyong's back: "I refuse to answer, you ask him."

Zheng Zhiyong turned his head helplessly: "Speak well, brother Xiansheng."

Talk well, talk well, Zhang Xiansheng poked his head out, and said in a very wronged tone: "When I heard this song, I just thought the concept of love in it was very interesting, and the song was well written. I didn't expect it to be related to the current social situation. Together, I really didn’t think of it at all.”

"What about thinkerxi?"

"I didn't expect that the purpose of writing this song was to express a view of love." Zheng Zhiyong seemed much calmer than Zhang Xiansheng. "It will be related to the marriage rate and so on. It can only be said to be a coincidence." .

"There were a lot of people who said they raised their demands for marriage because of the song."

"Good thing, marriage is such an important thing, it's good to be more demanding," Zheng Zhiyong replied without hesitation, "I saw the message in this regard, if you don't want to treat marriage simply as a contract of living together , isn’t it normal to have love?”

"thinkerxi doesn't seem to reject the extension of the meaning of the song." Regarding Zheng Zhiyong's sudden statement, the program team made its own interpretation.

"It's not about rejection or rejection." Zheng Zhiyong's eyes were calm and indifferent. "The problem has already existed, and it is impossible to ignore it all the time. It is something that will happen sooner or later when it is brought up and discussed. Some things that happen in reality , must be used as evidence, such as the popularity of "Twenty Generations of First Love", without this song, there will be other songs, such as MBC's "We Got Married" and some parenting programs that have not been suspended, critics It’s just analyzing the reasons, not speculating on myself, so there’s nothing to reject.”

Speaking of this, Zheng Zhiyong smiled a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I think what they said is very reasonable, otherwise I don't understand why this song is so popular."

The staff members who finally heard a more understandable sentence breathed a sigh of relief, recalled what Zheng Zhiyong said just now, and asked decisively: "What does this have to do with "We Got Married" and parenting programs?"

On the contrary, Zheng Zhiyong looked at them strangely: "Public opinion is oriented." Don't tell me that you are doing hip-hop talent shows so you don't even know about this. Not all variety shows exist for ratings, there are many Shoulder the mission of delivering values.

For example, "We Got Married", which has been scolded for its poor ratings, has been aired for nearly ten years and has not been abolished. There are also "Where Are We Going, Dad" and "Superman" that focus on the interaction between father and child. I’m Back” are all products of the background of declining marriage and birth rate—”First Love of the Twenty Generations” actually benefited from the recovery of women’s emotional needs. If it wasn’t relatively new, it might not be pulled come out.

As for the content conveyed by these variety shows, to put it simply: Marriage is wonderful, and fathers need to be more involved in the growth of their children...Young people, hurry up and get married and have children. Our country is not a small country with few people. Now the fertility rate is so high that people want to hang themselves, you know!

They are all people in the industry. Although the reflection arc is a little longer, those people in the program group did not need Zheng Zhiyong to speak so bluntly. What he said now is actually blunt enough. They all felt speechless, and it was clearly written in their eyes: Can this be broadcast?

Zheng Zhiyong also responded with his eyes: editing by himself.

"Show Methemoney" is not the kind of program suitable for all people to watch, and the scissors of the program group are not all used to sow dissension and create conflicts, but also to cut off those parts whose "water level" is too high to be broadcast on TV. That's what Zheng Zhiyong said, he can't decide whether it can be broadcast or not, this is a matter for the program group to follow.

Program team: I thought he was a gentleman rapper before, are we being too naive?

After turning off the camera, the leader immediately began to test: "thinker, you don't seem to shy away from social topics."

"I think I can express my own point of view", Zheng Zhiyong knew that they would ask this question a long time ago, "In the end, I will be responsible for whether I am liked or disliked."

Again, he is not an idol. It's okay for a rapper to swear, why is it wrong to say something about his own thinking?

"It's a little dangerous." The program "showmethemoney" has challenged the bottom line of the relaxation committee.

"Even in the case of political correctness?" Zheng Zhiyong asked rhetorically, "Human beings can already provide many topics."

Human nature doesn't seem to be something that can't be said... Zheng Zhiyong's words succeeded in shaking people who were still showing disapproval.Of course, how to edit in the end, whether to use Zheng Zhiyong as a new selling point, or to limitlessly compress his shots to avoid risks, all need to be decided by a group of people at a higher level. No matter how much they say now, it will affect the result. miniscule.

So they didn't go on about this.The shots in the waiting room had already been filmed, and it was not time for the rehearsal on stage. Zheng Zhiyong asked them to sit and rest for a while. Seeing that the space was a little crowded, he stood up voluntarily, and leaned against the wall next to the door Holding a mobile phone to listen to music, respecting but not flattering, it is very natural to do it.

Politeness is necessary, but under the background that rapper is often regarded as "pull" by default, he can't afford to lower his posture too low.

"Boom, boom."

Zheng Zhiyong didn't turn up the volume very loudly, so when the door knocked, he heard it right away.Just as they were the closest, Zheng Zhiyong took off his earphones and opened the door.

well?The juniors who came to visit.

Zheng Zhiyong felt that this group of people looked familiar, but now it was obviously not the time for him to think about where he had seen him before, so he opened the door a little more, and then took the initiative to step aside: "Please come in."

Zhang Xiansheng also saw what was going on, and took two steps forward. He was no stranger to this process, so it was enough to just go through the motions.

"hoo! monstax. Hello senior, we are monstax debuting today."

"Ah?" It wasn't Zheng Zhiyong who made the noise, it was the people from the "Show Methemoney" program team.

Zheng Zhiyong was also quite surprised, but he would not make any noise after all, but searched quickly, and found Li Zhouxian in a striking red leather jacket in less than a second.

When "showmethemoney" sent someone to shoot me, I met another contestant who passed the audition in the waiting room. This kind of thing is really... too coincidental.

The reaction of the staff of "showmethemoney" was much faster than that of Zheng Zhiyong and Zhang Xiansheng. The camera that was originally turned off and put aside was immediately carried on the shoulder: "Zhou Xianxi, can the greeting just now be redone?" one more time?"

Zheng Zhiyong frowned, took two steps back, and hid where the camera couldn't see.
