Thinker in the entertainment industry

When Zheng Zhiyong's one-on-one match finally settled, he realized that most of his actions fell into the eyes of the chief pd of "Infinite Challenge".

The song festival, which needs to be filmed at least six or seven times, is the highlight of "Infinite Challenge", and Kim Tae-ho attaches great importance to it.It is not difficult to know the level and character of famous singers and producers. Newcomers or those who play underground music need to investigate.At the beginning, Kim Tae-ho just asked "showmethemoney" for materials related to Zheng Zhiyong, and after spending half a day watching it from beginning to end, he decided to observe the scene during one-on-one time, and asked Zheng Zhiyong by the way talk.

Zheng Zhiyong's performance is still satisfactory.Except for the fact that he didn't know what he said to Vernon at the beginning, Zheng Zhiyong's actions are completely different from the routine, and it is difficult to find mistakes.The explanations and reminders when choosing Vernon, the kindness and frankness in communication, principled but not rigid, his performance when he was encouraged to diss was even a little cute, of course, more importantly, Zheng Zhiyong adopted the style of Vernon Even a layman like Kim Tae-ho marveled at the talent of creating an atmosphere that Vernon couldn't create in a similar rap.

"That's why I said just now that I chose vernonxi, and I really didn't have any good intentions." Speaking of that rap, Zheng Zhiyong said, "I use that style, and the influence of broadcasting may be good or bad. People know that rap can be pronounced that way, and then...if it is done well, it will look like me, if it is not done well, it will look like Vernonxi."

"He knows?" Having seen Zheng Zhiyong's outspoken side through the camera, Jin Taeho is not very surprised by this.

"I should know, maybe I don't want to think about it." Vernon is still brainwashing himself. The young people's cognition of people and things is a bit absolute, and he doesn't want to compare Zheng Zhiyong, who is impeccable in other places, with some unscrupulous people. Good stuff ties together.

"The concession on the beat, and the help in other situations, is it out of compensatory psychology?" Kim Tae-ho asked again.

"No", Zheng Zhiyong categorically denied this assumption, "My ideal beat is not far behind. I chose Vernonxi because it was easier to reach a consensus on this aspect. As for the help, let's count it Help, like I said to him, it's good for me if he behaves better."

"Your goal has been achieved."

"Yes, I won beautifully," Zheng Zhiyong said, "and no one suffered losses." It is certain that Vernon's side will be damaged. When meeting other people—such as Andup, it may be even worse. When meeting Zheng Zhiyong and himself, he also took a little look at it later, but it detracted a lot.

"I said, thinker", Kim Tae-ho folded his hands in front of his chest, and looked at Zheng Zhiyong with great interest, "You seem to want to say that you are very scheming."

"It's just that I don't want to give the public a perfect image at the beginning. It will be very troublesome to do something special later."

"Sure enough, he's a rapper," Kim Tae-ho said with emotion, "Your principles are not set."

"I don't do things that harm others and benefit myself, unless the other party has old grievances with me, and things that harm others and benefit myself are nothing worth doing now," Zheng Zhiyong said, "As a rapper and producer, if you are not strong enough, no matter how many means you use. Useless".If you follow this route, you may not be popular if you have strength, and you must not be popular if you have no strength. Sane is considered very commercial, but if he didn't have the ability to rank first in the underground, he wouldn't be as popular as he is now.

Zheng Zhiyong's attitude is not very respectful, but as a partner who has not signed a contract, he is trying to show sincerity as much as possible.What Kim Tae-ho cares most about is the song festival, and he doesn't require a hip-hop musician to be respectful all the time like an idol, and Jung Ji-yong's straightforward and non-disrespectful performance is exactly what he wants.

"Okay," said Kim Tae-ho, "let's find a place to continue talking."

The one-on-one session was still being recorded, but Zheng Zhiyong and Kim Tae-ho found a resting seat in the cje;&m building and continued to talk about "Infinite Challenge".When neither party wants much from the other, it is wisest to be frank about what you can do and what you want the other to do.

Kim Tae-ho briefly introduced the process of the song festival to Zheng Zhiyong. The guests and hosts choose each other and cooperate with each other. Zheng Zhiyong, who has watched the previous two song festivals, already knew it. Those who intend to cooperate, after consultation, control the result within a certain range to avoid embarrassing scenes when forming a team. This is what Kim Tae-ho told Zheng Zhiyong.The hosts are okay, the seniority and status of the guests are different, conflicts can be avoided if possible.

Speaking of this, Zheng Zhiyong remembered something: "I am friends with Park Jae-bum, pdnim."

"Aren't you going to sign CJ? You're not from aomg, right?" Zheng Zhiyong didn't let Ahn Seok-joon work too much on "Infinite Challenge", but when Kim Tae-ho came over, Ahn Seok-joon let "showmethemoney" The program team gave him the green light.Jin Taihao therefore heard some rumors.

"I'm not in aomg, cj... has plans."

"Then it's fine, as long as you don't say it in front of jyp." Jin Taeho said indifferently.The relationship among underground rappers has become a cobweb. If even "Park Jay Bum's friend" cannot meet Park Zhenrong, then few rappers will be able to appear on the same occasion as him. Gray's situation is that not only are the friends still in the same company, but they are too closely tied. Zheng Zhiyong doesn't consider aomg even without a contract. In Jin Taeho's view, this kind of connection is not enough for him to worry about.

Jung Ji Yong nodded, Kim Tae Ho seemed to be thinking about it, but he didn't need to say more: "There are also some things about my past, I will tell pdnim, but before the right time for me comes, I hope the show It can be kept confidential.”

"What's the matter? It can't be you or your family..." The first thing Jin Taihao thought of was black history, but it didn't seem to match what Zheng Zhiyong said later.

"No", Zheng Zhiyong said, "I used to be a trainee of SM. In 2007, my left leg was slightly disabled in a car accident, so I quit."

Kim Taeho:!

As the chief PD of "Infinite Challenge", Kim Tae-ho is well-informed. Even so, he was stunned for a while by Zheng Zhiyong's light words, "Big hair..." He couldn't help it Exclaimed, "What direction are you attacking in SM?"

"Lead dancer."

Jin Taihao had nothing to say, and silently gave Zheng Zhiyong a thumbs up. "I don't know what to say." After a while, Jin Taeho opened his mouth again, "You...really..."

"There are a lot of twists and turns, no matter good or bad." It is not a wise way to make yourself pitiful to win sympathy. To summarize, "I don't want SM and disability to be my labels first, so I hope to speak out after my strength is recognized."

Kim Tae-ho, who had already recognized Zheng Zhiyong's talent before he told his past, agreed with Zheng Zhiyong's statement very much, making the past full of pain the most eye-catching label on his head. It's a pity for people, "If you come to "Infinite Challenge", you can tell it in the last two episodes." After all, the publicity effect of the National Variety Show is extraordinary, and Zheng Zhiyong's strength is easily certified, "Fortunately I didn't bring the contract today, otherwise I would have taken it out immediately."

As a national variety show, "Infinite Challenge" not only needs high ratings and high attention, social significance is the national requirement for the program, and it is also what the program group is pursuing.And if Zheng Zhiyong's experience is used well, it is not difficult to make programs that are both popular and meaningful.

Kim Tae-ho only felt that the ideas related to the show in his head were popping out one by one. What he told Zheng Zhiyong was the truth. If he brought a contract, he would definitely take it out and discuss with Zheng Zhiyong about signing the contract. .Although Kim Tae-ho can't say anything about such a big event like the Gayo Festival, he can be sure that there won't be many objections to letting Zheng Zhiyong play the role.

"Is the collaboration song okay for you?" After all, it was the helm of "Infinite Challenge". After the initial short-term excitement, it didn't take long for Kim Tae-ho to regain his senses.

"I have a spare song, if you need it, you can watch it first." Zheng Zhiyong said.

"I've heard your song, and the quality is good enough." As for promotion, there is currently no platform comparable to "Infinite Challenge".

Just now Kim Tae-ho said that there is only one month left before the recording of the "Infinite Challenge" song festival, and the "Infinite Challenge" side said that they have started preparing for the song festival, and it has been two or three months, zion.t It was already decided at the beginning of May, and there should not be many candidates for Jin Taihao now.When he said this, Zheng Zhiyong's appearance in "Infinite Challenge" was almost settled, the only thing left was to go back and make sure.

But Zheng Zhiyong didn't finish his words: "pdnim, there is one more thing."

"What?" Jin Taihao asked casually, without thinking to the dark level like before.

But this time, what Zheng Zhiyong wants to say is really not a good thing: "In the car accident I encountered eight years ago, the driver was drunk and driving."

The air seemed to be frozen at that moment, Jin Taihao looked at Zheng Zhiyong in astonishment, and after meeting Zheng Zhiyong's calm eyes, he quickly looked away and stared at the grain of the wood on the table.

"I have more things to do." Zheng Zhiyong leaned back, leaning his back against the back of the chair, and said.

"This..." Jin Taihao took off his glasses, stretched out his hand and pressed his temple, "Let me think about it, think about it."

"Where have you been?"

"Some things", Zheng Zhiyong didn't tell the pd of "Infinite Challenge" at the west exit, he may say it later, but he will never be at the recording site of "Show Methemoney", "Have you passed the test?"

"Of course", West Exit showed Zheng Zhiyong his hat that symbolizes customs clearance, "Xu Renchang is really... want to use his seniority to overwhelm me, and I also want to stumble on the beat choice..." After all, he is younger than Xu Renchang In his teens, Xikou still tried his best to hold back in front of the camera, and finally couldn't help complaining to Zheng Zhiyong after the end.

"He doesn't know you're into freestyle, doesn't it matter what the beat is?" Zheng Zhiyong couldn't help laughing.

"So, misplaced focus. How are you?"

"Total victory."

"I picked the weakest one, and it's a bit unreasonable to win by a narrow margin." A voice interrupted.

"cknut, don't eavesdrop on other people's conversations." Zheng Zhiyong raised his eyelids and said flatly.

"I heard it when I walked over." said cknut, who was still wearing the somewhat dusty off-white jumper.At the west exit, he looked at cknut, then at Zheng Zhiyong, and took a small step back.

You are arguing, I am watching.

"Oh," Zheng Zhiyong responded, accepting the explanation, "I thought you would choose Song Minho, but it turned out that you chose An Xiumin. I really want to fall in love so much. Don't take off your pants. Fetish?"

cknut: "Hey! My panties are on!"

"My point is not this, you didn't hear it?" Zheng Zhiyong asked back, "You are not stupid, cknut".

On the spot of the audition, Zico’s script was dropped, and his pants were taken off. In the second round, “Song Min Ho won anyway”, and in the third round, Ahn Soo Min was selected to create a pink plot. The weight of broadcasting in each round can be guaranteed. It’s really the middle point Are there no deliberate factors?

At least Zheng Zhiyong can say frankly that his scheming has not caused anyone to lose.

"One is a mad dog, and the other is a polite man. The gap is a bit big." cknut pointed to himself, then pointed to Zheng Zhiyong, and said.

"Because I didn't bite anyone," Zheng Zhiyong said flatly, with a smile still on the corner of his mouth, "You can try it too, it's not such a brain-intensive thing."Zheng Zhiyong's tricks are all on the bright side, and it's no big deal to say it.But cknut can't copy.Zheng Zhiyong is not good at mobilizing the atmosphere of the scene, but when it comes to broadcasting and sound sources, ten cknuts can't beat him.

"Okay, okay", the West Exit finally couldn't help but stop, "You don't want M's camera to come over", he laughed himself when he said this, "You two can't be assigned to a team, it will affect teamwork ".

Zheng Zhiyong: "When we are grouped, we should get to the bottom of it in advance."

cknut: "I know."
