Thinker in the entertainment industry

In fact, within a few seconds, Zheng Zhiyong realized what the cube was going to do.It’s no secret that a new boy group will be launched next year. After all, the oldest boy group in Beast was born in 1989 and will be serving in the military by 2018 at the latest. The oldest boy group in btob was born in 1990, so it’s not much better.

No one has any objections to promoting a new boy group, but now that CLC has just debuted and btob has just ushered in a turning point because of Lu Xingcai, is it appropriate for you to push the reserve members of the new boy group to show your face?

"We just came to sit and not talk." Cao Zhenhao explained.

Zheng Zhiyong heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the cube is not so unreliable.

But is it meaningful to just brush your face without talking, or let them get used to the camera in advance?

...In the final analysis, the decision to let the trainees come over is very unreliable.

Zheng Zhiyong felt bored for a while, but he didn't want to vent his anger on the two people in front of him: "For Yan An's words, you can comment on their Chinese pronunciation, Cao Zhenhao...you and I don't know what to do."

There is no Chinese position to take advantage of, but the second is that Cao Zhenhao has not been in Cube for a long time, and Zheng Zhiyong has not taught people in the company much later.

Fortunately, Cao Zhenhao said very kindly: "It's okay, I'll just sit there." - Or maybe he also felt that it would be unreasonable for people to appear at this moment.

It is impossible for Zheng Zhiyong to ask Cao Zhenhao directly, so he has no way of knowing.

In front of the camera of "showmethemoney", Zheng Zhiyong did not show any strangeness.He is now standing in front of btob's rapper Zheng Yixun: "Chinese has pinyin, Japanese has hiragana, and English has phonetic symbols. Don't use Roman accents, that's not standard."

"When there is not enough time for language learning, a standard accent is the best way to show sincerity." Another rapper Lee Minhyuk interjected.

"Look, how many times I've said it." So many times that Lee Min Hyuk memorized it.

Zheng Yixun bowed his head and confessed: "I'm used to it."

"What a sad thing it is to develop bad habits at the beginning", Zheng Zhiyong is also very sad, "Forget it, the cost of correcting habits is a bit high for you, I don't know if it is appropriate or not."

The performance of the few girls in clc is much better. Language is not an important subject, and the trainees should have more classes after all.I have a general understanding of the grammar, not many words, and the pronunciation is so standard that there is nothing to say. Zheng Zhiyong asked the Chinese trainee Yan An to demonstrate. Wu Chengji and the others basically have the same pronunciation except for the different voice lines.

In fact, they don't have the ability to speak at all. The advantage is that they can speak in a straight voice with pinyin. Anyway, Cube will not consider letting them enter foreign countries, especially China, in a short period of time. This level is definitely enough.

Speaking of "enough", Zheng Zhiyong suspended his "teaching" at this time, and asked the person sent by "showmethemoney" a question: Is there enough material?

The response I got was: That should be enough, what do you want to do next?

"Things that I don't want to be broadcast." Zheng Zhiyong said with a smile.

The phrase "reach out and don't hit a smiling face" is true everywhere, as long as the "smile" is not an evil one.What's more, Zheng Zhiyong has cooperated very well to provide the program group with enough material to make the editor worry, and now his wish seems to be granted.

Zheng Zhiyong saw the vacillation in the other party's eyes, and he smiled and gently placed a chip: "I will read all the pronunciations from beginning to end."

"Okay", the material is definitely enough, Zheng Zhiyong also made a "concession", it's not that he thinks the program crew has filmed enough and drives away people, "then we will turn off the camera".

"aoeiu..."

"あいうえお..."

Zheng Zhiyong's voice is clear, slow, not procrastinating, and his words are round but not rigid. He is reading and writing on the blackboard at the same time. The sun shines on his back, shining on his clothes and black hair. , The white hand holding the pen is covered with a layer of bright color.In a trance, it reminds me of the carefree student days that most people have. In the quiet classroom, there are only the sound of the teacher teaching and the friction of the pen and the blackboard. The students are either listening carefully or wandering away. Think about things after class.

But here, the students probably think about things after class.

Zheng Zhiyong turned around and saw that the program team had turned off the camera as promised in advance, but they hadn't left yet: "What do you want to do next, can you let us here?"

The contestants and the program group are mutually beneficial, love and kill each other, and no one can do anything to the other. Both parties understand this, so they don't have high requirements for each other. Zheng Zhiyong has many topics and is good at life. A bad relationship is the only thing Small probability event.

"It doesn't matter," Zheng Zhiyong said, looking at the students who were already familiar or unfamiliar, his Adam's apple moved slightly, "This is my last class in Cube, I'm afraid we won't We've seen each other often, so I'll give you some advice before I leave."

"If you don't want to go to a place for long-term development, there is no need to learn the language too thoroughly. Practice your pronunciation well. When the time comes, you will learn a few common words and songs in the local language. Reading it from the cheat sheet at other times is enough to show your sincerity. gone."

"Yan Yu, you are different. Korean needs to be strengthened. Even if you take the high-cold route, you must be able to speak when you need to speak." Zheng Zhiyong finished speaking in Korean, and then translated the passage into Chinese and said it again.

Then, he let out a sigh of relief: "We should still see you in the future, and I won't make the atmosphere too heavy, Cheng Ji, come back and work hard."

"What about us?" Lee Min Hyuk said.

"Hmm... seize the opportunity?"

After finishing speaking, Zheng Zhiyong turned his head and looked at the people in the "showmethemoney" program group: "These are not suitable for broadcasting, right?"

Zheng Zhiyong, who is quite romantic in his heart, thought about whether to use a Chinese song or a Japanese song as a "listening test" when he was writing the lesson plan, just like the Chinese rap he once performed in class jokingly , by the way, it can also be used as his "farewell performance" in cube.But after thinking about it, he gave up the plan.

The one who has time for nostalgia and romanticism is Zheng Zhiyong, and the others are probably thinking about appearances, reactions, popularity, and the future.Whether it is btob or clc, this period of time is very important.

Not getting close to that level, Zheng Zhiyong thought, he should not do things that might be inappropriate.

After sending off the program group of "showmethemoney", the girls from clc went to the practice room to prepare for their upcoming comeback. Although btob's popularity has been rising rapidly due to Lu Sungjae's extraordinary performance recently, except for Lu Sungjae who is currently filming, the others have no schedule for the time being, so they are not in such a hurry to leave.Zheng Zhiyong didn't leave immediately after the end, so they stayed for a while, together with the two trainees.

Speaking of Cao Zhenhao and Yan An, Zheng Zhiyong remembered the fright he had just received.Fortunately, the program team didn't have any requirements on who sat below, otherwise there would be trouble.

"'Students' aren't all entertainers... Seems okay."

Zheng Zhiyong didn't know whether he was speaking to btob, Cao Zhenhao and Yan An, or to himself.He has always been in the area of ​​training trainees and planning public relations issues. He has heard about it, but he has never experienced it personally.When he was about to leave, it was really unpleasant for him to realize that, Zheng Zhiyong refused.

"Has the second round of "Show Me The Money" passed?" Now that there are too many people, it is not suitable to talk about serious topics. Lee Min Hyuk asked one of the most interesting topics at the moment.

"It's over, and it will be the third round in a few days."

"Who is left as an idolrapper?" Jung Il-hoon asked.

"Song Minho, Lee Joohyun, and a guy named Vernon, from the seventeen group that Pledis is about to debut." All people present are in the industry. Zheng Zhiyong is not worried about them leaking secrets. "Show Methemoney" just doesn't allow players and work The staff just said it on the Internet, and it doesn’t matter if you say a few words to the people around you. Even if you don’t open your mouth, people you know can guess the result by seeing whether he has recorded, “but he won’t survive the third round.”

"What about the other two?"

"Song Minho is definitely sure. If Lee Joohyun is to say, it depends on luck." Jung Jiyong said, "What about you, are you interested? "Show Methemoney" is the hottest time in the past two years." He asked Lee Minhyuk and Jung Ilhoon.

Both idolrappers showed a capitalized rejection. "We don't want to be dissed." Zheng Yixun said.

"I can't go very far, maybe it will be used to explain that 'idolrapper has no strength'." Lee Minhyuk added.

"That's right", Zheng Zhiyong agreed with their thoughts, "Vernon seems to be used as this character this season", maybe there is ra·vi, but Zheng Zhiyong didn't say it.

"I'm going to debut soon, so I'm going to earn attention." said btob captain Xu Enguang, who hadn't said much.

"That's right." Zheng Zhiyong glanced at Cao Zhenhao again, "I'm afraid a new group will be launched next year. I don't know how the company will use it to promote it."

"I don't know, it probably won't be "Show Methemoney", Zheng Yixun said, "On idolrapper, "Show Methemoney" will still be regarded as a positive model, but there are not many."

"Yes."

As an idolrapper, Vernon actually makes sense. After passing two rounds in "showmethemoney", what kind of diss is he?

However, although what Zheng Yixun said was true, the feelings in it were a bit subtle.It should be said that the members of btob have delicate feelings towards the new boy group.

It is normal for the company to push new groups one by one.The old groups that have been popular are not so repulsive to the promotion of new groups. The popularity of the new group can allow the company to continue to grow, and it is also good for its own long-term development.But if the old group has not become popular, promoting a new group is almost equivalent to being abandoned by the company.Btob, who has just ushered in the best opportunity to become a leader after debuting for three years, feels even more complicated about the company launching a new boy group.

But in any case, the new group will debut next year at the latest, and it is impossible to delay it any longer.Otherwise, Cao Zhenhao wouldn't come to Cube either.

Cao Zhenhao is the same age as Zheng Zhiyong, born in 1992. What's more interesting is that he also had experience in SM, but it happened to be different from Zheng Zhiyong.Zheng Zhiyong left at the end of 2007, but Cao Zhenhao joined in 2008 and debuted under the stage name jino in 2010. Together with Kim Young Dong of Trax, Kim Jong Hyun of Shinee, and Kyuhyun of SuperJunior, he formed the first generation of smthebad and released an album , also played songs, and then became a reserve member of exo for a while, but finally lost for some reason. After that, he stayed in sm and tried to develop in the direction of stage plays, but finally came to cube.

Cao Zhenhao's age is a factor, he's here, the matter of the new men's team is clearly settled by the higher-ups.

Zheng Zhiyong didn't have bad feelings towards Cao Zhenhao, it can't be said that it was because of some overlap in experience, he didn't have any special bad feelings towards the trainees, after all, he was a teacher, no one rushed to offend him.But now the cube looks like this...

I hope everyone can develop well. Beast’s summer comeback is as successful as last year. btob seized the opportunity to succeed, and next year’s new boy group will debut smoothly and become popular... It seems that the idea is too good.

Forget it, he has already done what he can do, what will happen to the cube is not something he should or can worry about for the time being.

The third round of "Show Me The Money" is the most important task ahead.

A total of 52 rappers participated in the third round, and the 52 people stood in a roughly square formation. The host Jin Zhenbiao stood on the stage, facing them.Zheng Zhiyong is standing in the second row from left to right, and the second row from front to back. In front is Yu Taiyun, who is Zico's brother, and in front of the left is the most topical of "showmethemoney" Contestant Song Minho.

Zheng Zhiyong and Yu Taiyun arrived earlier and said a few words, but did not mention Zico.In fact, Yu Taiyun doesn’t talk about his younger brother very much. He came to "showmethemoney" because this opportunity is really important to him, and it is also to Zico. In the end, the two brothers chose the latter between avoiding the taboo or accepting the challenge. Zheng Zhiyong mentioned it.And although his strength in rap is much worse than that of Zico, Yu Taiyun, who has been in the underground for many years, is quite promising. Zheng Zhiyong chatted with him, except that Yu Taiyun was a little too nervous. , other times it is quite pleasant to say.

However, when Song Minho came over, Woo Tae-woon took the initiative to mention his younger brother in front of Jung Ji-yong for the first time:

"His taste in clothes..." Yu Taiyun's face was full of indescribable words, "It's worse than Zico."

Zheng Zhiyong looked at Song Minho, who was wearing a light blue sportswear all over his body, wearing a light pink peaked cap, and his face and complexion was very close to that of Tudou, and nodded with deep sympathy.
