Thinker in the entertainment industry

Although mq and beast are well-known groups of friends in the music industry, they are not just two people who are like glue when they come out. There is always a difference between closeness and distance. Son Dong-woon is the stickiest. If anyone has the deepest friendship with Yoon Doo-joon, it is Lee Joon who has worked with him many times.

Because of the decision not to renew the contract after the contract expired, and intending to leave the group to concentrate on being an actor, the atmosphere between Lee Joon and the other members of MQ, especially the three who intend to stay, is somewhat delicate, but this is not consistent with "internal discord" It's not exactly the same thing, there is little to no personal communication, and when it comes to business, neither of them will hold others back.The joining of Zheng Zhiyong was mainly discussed by Lee Joon and Yoon Doojoon, but it was Yang Shenghao and the others from the company who said that the "cooperation" went smoothly.

But now that Yang Shenghao said this, the attitudes of the other three people also became serious.The feeling of "ridiculing" Lee Joon together is really memorable, but in most cases, business takes priority.

"It's nothing." For Li Zhun, the four serious faces were more unaccustomed to him than the four mocking faces just now. His eyes flickered, "Just curiosity..."

"Curiosity?" Tiandong didn't speak easily, but grasped the point as soon as he spoke.

Unknowingly "besieged" by four people, Lee Joon: "Do you remember what I said about him earlier?"

"remember."

"Being a rapper in the underground but not officially releasing songs, and then working as a producer for idols, the creation speed is not slow, but rarely produces works", Lee Joon frowned, recalling the information he heard when he contacted Yoon Doojoon on the phone, "like this producer, I can't figure out what his attitude towards creation is."

"I also find it strange. Fortunately, it seems that this language teacher and part-time producer is still very useful, but I said Li Changxuan." Go smiled and called out Li Zhun's real name, "If you are curious, use Is this method a cliché?"

Li Zhun: "I..."

Rarely, Yang Shenghao did not use violence such as suppression and whipping, and patted Li Zhun's shoulder earnestly: "You can just follow the sincere and frank line, playing tricks is not suitable for you."

Li Zhun: "I..."

Tian Dong once again made up his mind: "Brother Zhun, you are going to go to the new company alone soon to hang out in the film and television industry, which is even more miserable than the music industry. Is this okay?"

Li Zhun: "You..." Tiandong you tiger bastard, tell me, did you omit the word "stupid" after "like this"?

Fortunately, before Li Zhun had time to say something about his IQ drop because of his impatience, Mir said, "Why don't you let Brother Zhun try it, I don't think that guy will turn his face because of this, will he?" ?”

Zheng Zhiyong: ...

When you left, you accidentally didn't close the door properly, so you want me to listen to this when you come back?

Zheng Zhiyong looked up at the sky helplessly, and at the same time, his hand on the doorknob suddenly exerted force, causing a loud "click" sound from the door lock. Then his hand paused, and then he straightened his expression, and slowly pushed the door open. He opened the door and walked into the studio with a normal expression:

"Is there any need to modify the song just now, or to proceed to the next step?"

The episode caused by Lee Joon ended up being nothing, but the atmosphere among the MQ members was not as bad as expected, not because they became so close, but because there was something more... something unclear.Zheng Zhiyong didn't care much about what was going on, he came here to "work part-time", and he just went about his business.

In the creation of other songs other than "live in the past", Zheng Zhiyong has never been visited by inspiration, but the influence is not great.In music creation, the outburst of emotion is of course important, but talent and feeling are necessary.

Those who write good love songs may be scumbags. The birth of a good work must be tied to the creator's true feelings. Even Zheng Zhiyong, who started to create music for the sake of expressing himself, can only roll his eyes: Co-author, he has never been in a relationship, so he can't write love songs?

An album plus an intro is only five songs. MQ members still have some stocks. Zheng Zhiyong's task is not onerous. If the other party can determine a theme he is interested in and the emotion needed for the song, it is easier for him to substitute himself Zheng Zhiyong's creation went very smoothly - of course he won't say these things directly, it's too hateful.

Ever since, when four of the five songs were finalized, Zheng Zhiyong and the five members of MQ were still not very familiar with each other.

This fact was raised by mir, and Yang Shenghao said: "That means the progress is fast."

"But I'm afraid it will be troublesome in the future, and I'm afraid I'm a little embarrassed when I talk about it." Go said.

"I'm sorry, I have to talk about it." Zheng Zhiyong's tone seemed to be joking, but in fact it was just to make the atmosphere a little easier. He didn't want to give in easily. He didn't have the "nobility of an artist", but he also You don’t make a living by writing songs, at least you have to make sure you’re in a good mood, “I’ll contribute the songs I wrote before, and I’ll make big changes according to your ideas.” He shook his head, “It’s a psychological barrier.”

"And the most critical issue is not this."

Zheng Zhiyong then said again.

"What?" Yang Shenghao signaled him to continue.

"If you want me to modify the song "you don't know" to suit MQ, you need to give me enough inspiration, or feel that I am not good at actively seeking inspiration from singers, and I need the other party to inspire me," Zheng said. Zhiyong said, "It's not okay to just take my chorus and write the rest by you."

Zheng Zhiyong spoke with a calm expression, as if he was just explaining the facts to the five people in front of him as a narration, without the slightest personal emotion. His words were also very euphemistic, even so, he still let the other party appear more or less Symptoms of facial stiffness.

Because they all understood the meaning behind Zheng Zhiyong's words:

Please be honest with me.

Well, Zheng Zhiyong still has a little bit of the "artist" problem.

For example, the songs I wrote would never be easily ruined.

intro "liveinthepast" was written by Zheng Zhiyong alone, but for the next three songs, Zheng Zhiyong played an auxiliary role. The members of mq built a rough structure, and it was not difficult to fill in the content. It was high, not to mention that under such circumstances, Zheng Zhiyong didn't have much demands on himself.This is a bit like writing an argumentative essay. Zheng Zhiyong is like a writer with a level and personality. Others have already written the central argument, some sub-arguments and some expositions. The pressure is very smooth. When I want to open an article, I unconsciously become cautious. I want it to express my point of view, and I want to persuade others after the article is published. If I don’t pay attention, I will be serious. a lot.

When it came to the production of the last song, the situation was like this: Zheng Zhiyong saw the manuscript "youain'tknow" typed by Go and the others and discussed a few more sentences. The "you don't know" I wrote was turned out, and the five people from MQ saw it. The writing is really good. How about changing the argument to ours?

As for the "argument" that mq they want to replace...

Having been a singer for five years, MQ is about to face two members leaving the group. In the last album released as a five-member group, he wants to express some of his feelings, the feelings of parting.

This will not surprise Zheng Zhiyong, who writes songs for private goods in most cases, but the problem is that the "private goods" in a song with his own "private goods" will be replaced by others It's... ahem, I'm a little stuffed.Even though he appreciates MQ's attitude of making the parting as "beautiful" as possible.

If others do it, Zheng Zhiyong thinks that he will probably not be satisfied in the end. If he protests at that time, he doesn't know if it will hurt his feelings. I don't want to say it so deadly.So he gave such a suggestion: You tell me the "private goods" frankly, and then I will write.

Members of mq are dissatisfied and can bring it up to Zheng Zhiyong, and it’s okay to lose their temper. Zheng Zhiyong thinks that he has always cultivated well when he needs to cultivate himself.

This time it was the members of MQ who made it difficult.

When things got to this point, it would be a bit pretentious to cover up any more. After working together for a few days, Yang Shenghao had some understanding of the other party's personality, so Yang Shenghao said bluntly: "We don't know if your mouth is strict enough."

As an artist, it doesn't matter how provocative they say in front of the camera, that's their professional requirement, no matter how sincerely they say it, no one will take it seriously, but it's different in private, between friends It’s okay to say what’s on your mind, but in front of someone you don’t know well... It’s a bit embarrassing, if you meet someone who talks fast, the gossip will spread in the circle in a short time, even those who are at the height of overlooking all living beings It's hard for a human being to completely ignore other people's opinions, not to mention mq, who has struggled to survive in this circle in the past, present and future?

"We don't know each other well enough, and we don't trust each other enough." This is indeed a problem, and Zheng Zhiyong can't deny it.

"Drink?" Yang Shenghao asked suddenly.

Zheng Zhiyong was stunned for a moment: "I don't drink often, but the amount of alcohol is okay." Koreans like to connect with each other through drinking. alcoholic.

"Together at night?" After Yang Shenghao finished speaking to Zheng Zhiyong, his eyes drifted to his members again, with uncommon uncertainty in his eyes, "If you all want to be more honest."

Zheng Zhiyong blinked his eyes, bit his lower lip lightly, hesitant in his heart.

"I know this kind of proposal is a bit too much." Yang Shenghao turned back at this time, and sincerely apologized to Zheng Zhiyong, "I have encountered too many situations where what I want to do cannot be done, but now, especially want to make it".

Apart from the fact that MQ of the five-person group is about to become history, Zheng Zhiyong is easier to talk in terms of personality and identity, which is probably an important reason.

Zheng Zhiyong is well aware of this, but he... also wants to continue.

"I have classes in the evening, and I can only come out after ten o'clock. Also, I need a place with a bathroom."

Zheng Zhiyong said.

Accidents, big or small, appear in life all the time.If it is said that the disagreement with MQ due to the song issue was foreseeable in advance, the subsequent development of the situation was completely unexpected by Zheng Zhiyong.

Fortunately, for Zheng Zhiyong, there were too many unexpected things, and this one was not bad. He bowed his head and asked his heart again, and then made a decision.

At present, it seems that there will be no key losses, so let's go with the feeling.

But some things cannot be followed by feelings, so Zheng Zhiyong declared the conditions of the place early on. The members of mq didn't understand it very much at first. Seeing Zheng Zhiyong pouring water into his mouth as soon as he walked in, it was almost the same Understood.

"Did you talk so much in the evening class?" Go said. In fact, several other people were also quite curious. The company where mq works is too small. They were all very curious about what the foreign language classes for trainees in large companies look like.

"Teaching pronunciation", Zheng Zhiyong's speech is not as impeccable as before, with impeccable rhythm and intonation, but with a weak taste, "Other things may be forgotten after teaching, pronunciation is the foundation, start The teacher must take it into prison."

He hated this kind of class the most, but there was nothing he could do, it was the most necessary, and he had to teach it well.

The five people on the opposite side understood and sent five sympathetic eyes.

Zheng Zhiyong cleared his throat, found a seat in the private room and sat down.It's not the straight sitting posture he's used to, but his shoulders are slightly tucked in and his neck is curled up, which is a bit casual, and it seems that something is brewing and ready to go.
