Thinker in the entertainment industry

Chapter 106 106. Timing

Not to mention the good singing skills gained in sm, in the past five years, Zheng Zhiyong has also laid a good foundation in rap and creation. ", together with the heat brought by the two episodes of "showmethemoney", the combination did not make Zheng Zhiyong popular, but it gave him a "preparation fan base" and a bunch of rumors about him, Reliable news. It is true that "Infinite Challenge" has brought him a huge amount of attention. If it weren't for Zheng Zhiyong's previous accumulation, netizens' enthusiasm for searching would not have lasted so long.

The "Infinite Challenge" ballad festival has always attracted attention, but this time, among the keywords of "Infinite Challenge" "internal fight", 60.00% of the time, "thinker" or "Zheng Zhiyong" ranked first in the hot search.Yoon Doojoon said that most idols may not get such a high degree of attention from debut to retirement, it is not exaggerated at all.As for how long Zheng Zhiyong can maintain the attention cast on him, and how many people who follow him can be converted into his supporters, that is another matter.

However, now that Zheng Zhiyong is popular, the situation of some people is a bit embarrassing.

Zheng Zhiyong performed "Infinite Challenge" once, which made several songs popular.The collaboration song between An Xiyan and Ken was already very popular some time ago, and the rising ranking is the icing on the cake. Beast is scheduled to come back in late July. The prelude song "midnight" three years ago was very popular because of Zheng Zhiyong's singing Sheng, although it is not so important for beast, which has been in the position five years ago, it is also a good thing from the perspective of warming up, after all, they have not been active in South Korea for more than half a year.But the retrograde of "Spring" and "youdon'tknow" doesn't sound so good. The former singer ledapple has already disbanded. As for mq who sang "youdon'tknow", although there are three members who continue their activities under the name of the group, they are also Basically, it exists in name only. When "youdon'tknow" first came out, it was defaulted as MQ's "dissolution commemorative song".

The song of the combination achieved the best sound source performance ever, but it was after the combination was disbanded.This will inevitably make people feel a little... complicated.

Zheng Zhiyong is not the person involved, so he is not sure what the person involved thinks.But to compare his heart with his heart, if someone tells him that his muscle cells are very active and doing sports, he must have a lot to do. His feeling will never be pure joy.Zheng Zhiyong was completely unprepared for the fact that two old songs that were released a long time ago and were not popular when they were released on "Infinite Challenge" were retrograde. People from ledapple and mq probably didn't Will be better than him.

What will happen next?

The cooperation with ledapple is simply to pay the money and deliver the goods. Zheng Zhiyong doesn't care much about it, and the intersection with mq will be much more.Zheng Zhiyong can still clearly recall that he was invited to participate in the last concert of the five-person MQ, and they sang the last encore on the stage, saying "you don't know" over and over again.

At that time, "you don't know" didn't become popular, but it was endowed with special meaning by MQ and their fans and kept in memory.And Zheng Zhiyong, who wrote this song, never thought that half a year later, "you don't know" would become a big hit, and achieved a result that mq had never achieved in the five years since its debut and separation.

Zheng Zhiyong is not the only one who recalls the past.

"Some people on the Internet are curious about how we will feel. Offline, fortunately, the company manages actors." During the phone call with Yoon Doojoon, Lee Joon said this.

After leaving mq, Li Zhun signed a contract with PraintPC, a brokerage company specializing in actors, and then starred in the TV series "Heard the Rumor", which received good ratings and word of mouth.Lee Joon, who regarded being an actor as his goal from the very beginning, has finally become a real actor after going round and round.The scene of an idol acting handsome and foolish in front of the camera seems to be a very distant memory.

However, looking down at the "Singer" column on the music source list, I saw "mq". At that time, Li Zhun still had a very complicated emotion in his heart.

"That guy is amazing," he sighed, "We managed to make such a big noise last time in Infinity Challenge."

"elder brother--"

"I know, the situation is different." In the Song Festival, Zheng Zhiyong is a musician who was discovered by "Infinite Challenge" through his discerning eyes. Usually, the idols invited by "Infinite Challenge" for the show are basically running with him. The resulting shots are clearly not comparable.Besides, few people can throw out so much information at once like Zheng Zhiyong, and most of them are based on strength, Li Zhun also understands this.

He debuted on the same day six years ago, and has been an idol singer for so many years. Yoon Doojoon can imagine Lee Joon's feelings: "I was a little optimistic about him at that time, and I didn't expect him to reach this point. Now people..."

"Speaking of this, at that time I thought you were acquaintances who were trying to test each other out. Although I thought Zheng Zhiyong was okay, I didn't expect him to be so interesting." Li Zhun grinned and said, his slender eyes narrowed. One line, "I sang "midnight" in "Infinite Challenge" because of selfishness, thanks to him."

"I was shocked when I saw it," Yoon Doojoon said, "I should have treated him better at the beginning, but now he has resigned from the company."

"Can't continue to cooperate?"

"The main feature of this comeback is that he and Junhyung wrote it together. It's hard to say in the future. We spent most of our time in Japan. I'm afraid he has to take care of South Korea first."

They tacitly did not mention "what would happen if "you don't know" became popular when it was released?" This assumption has already been discussed by many people on the Internet. Lee Joon and Yoon Doojoon both understand that even if that assumption does happen, yes For mq, it is already too late.Just like what Yang Shenghao said to Zheng Zhiyong at the beginning, in the critical period of leadership, every time he missed a little bit. After "It's War", the juniors who debuted in 10, 11, and 12 years have been promoted one after another. MQ has no chance up.If you want "you don't know" to change anything, its release has to be pushed forward at least two years, not when the members' contracts expire and Lee Joon and Tian Dong have already made up their minds to leave.

In fact, if "you don't know" has gained such popularity upon release, it must be good for others, but not necessarily good for Lee Joon.The popularity of the song is not enough to reverse the situation. Yang Shenghao and Go will be enlisted in the army in two years at the latest, and the actor's career has just begun. Tasteless, it's a pity to throw it away.The mediocre response to the last series, on the contrary, is more conducive for him to let go of the little reluctance in his heart and make a rational choice.

Li Zhun didn't say these wise, but somewhat heartless words, and he didn't want to wonder if others thought of this layer.

The life in front of the camera is glamorous, and I did have a lot of good memories when I was active as an idol.But every year, many groups debut and many groups retire. Only those who have experienced it can understand how cruel the competition is.

After hanging up the phone, Li Zhun opened na|ver again, "thinker" was still listed in the search bar, and the associated word was "showmethemoney". The producer's performance and group session of "showmethemoney" just finished recording not long ago.

Although I felt that he was a very special young man when we first met half a year ago, it was unexpected by Li Zhun that Zheng Zhiyong would enter the public eye in this way.

The description of Zheng Zhiyong on the Internet seems to be very comprehensive. Anyone who does not know will lament his "multi-talented" after seeing it, but Li Zhun knows that Zheng Zhiyong has been a trainee. It's a little more complicated.

When is he going to talk about what happened to him earlier?When such a person is a trainee, I am afraid that he is not a mediocre existence.

Zheng Zhiyong has no plans to disclose his experience in SM for the time being, and the top priority now is to gain a sense of presence with the image of a "capable musician".Judging by current trends, he won't have to wait too long.

When Zheng Zhiyong's "Infinite Challenge" has not yet aired, and when "showmethemoney" only aired the first episode, at the producer's performance, Zheng Zhiyong was able to rely on him in the first episode His performance has received a lot of attention-his appearance, rap, and aura at the audition scene are very lethal.

During the producer's performance, the four groups of producers will perform on stage with the foreign aid they found. It seems that Zheng Zhiyong, who is a contestant, has nothing to do with it.However, after the producer's performance, there was still a brutal war without gunpowder. The four groups of producers wanted to scoop up their favorite players. Only 24 of the [-] people could enter the next round.

Zheng Zhiyong is confident that he won't fail the grouping session—to put it a bit harshly, even if the producers of the four groups don't like him, the program group of "showmethemoney" will not let him die in this round. Watch the production People perform and choose a group to go in, it sounds good, but...

Why can't I sit and watch from the beginning to the end?

"Are you uncomfortable?" Yu Taiyun asked.

"It's okay." Zheng Zhiyong exerted strength with his arm on the railing, shifting his center of gravity back. After standing up straight, he moved his body slightly, "I've been standing for a long time," he said in a low voice.

The producer's performance is attended by audiences, all of whom are in the audience, and there are huge crowds of people, while the contestants stand on a place similar to the "second floor", leaning on the railing to watch the stage.The vision is indeed much better, but Zheng Zhiyong is not used to having to stand from the beginning to the end.It is possible to support it, but it is impossible to feel comfortable.

Yu Taiyun: "...Did you see the YG team's rehearsal?"

"No, what?"

"They found hyukoh, and bobby."

They both participated in the "Infinite Challenge" song festival, which is what Zheng Jiyong and hyukoh have in common.Although "Infinite Challenge" hadn't been aired when the producer performed, and everyone didn't know how popular this show brought Zheng Zhiyong and Hyukoh, but the national variety show is definitely not bad, and the YG team doesn't have to worry about the show. When it came out, some people didn't know the band hyukoh.

But tablo and jinusean asked hyukoh to cooperate at the producer performance...

"Yg's subsidiary label may not only recruit rappers." Zheng Zhiyong said.

Yu Taiyun nodded in agreement: "What about you?"

Anyone with eyes can see that the YG team is shouldering the task of recruiting people for its label this time. Zheng Zhiyong went to "Infinite Challenge" like Hyukoh, and it seems that the development prospects are much wider than Hyukoh's. It's hard to say YG will not be tempted.

"I made plans a long time ago, but there may be too many variables in the future, so I don't know what to say first," Zheng Zhiyong said, "You don't think I'm being frank."

"It doesn't affect me." Yu Taiyun said.

Zheng Zhiyong smiled.

After the West Exit was eliminated, among the remaining contestants, Zheng Zhiyong "has no friends, but there are a lot of wrong ones". The news that he has confirmed to appear in the "Infinite Challenge" song festival is now spreading in a small area. The program group of "showmethemoney" It's not a secret that he will spend more time on him. Zheng Zhiyong felt that he might not get much sincere congratulations, so he just got together with Yu Taiyun.Although Yu Taiyun didn't become friends with him, at least he wouldn't dislike him.

that's the truth.As acquaintances, they don't communicate much, but they are still harmonious.

The first group of producers to perform on stage was verbaljint and sane, and the second group was the combination of zico and paloalto.

When his younger brother came to the stage, Yu Taiyun's attention was naturally glued to the stage. Seeing this, Zheng Zhiyong also focused his gaze, narrowing his eyes slightly, solemnly with a bit of interest, just like his It's the same as when watching the stage underground.

But the camera lens shining brightly at him is not so easy to ignore. "showmethemoney" is really optimistic about Zheng Zhiyong, and also really optimistic about the song festival of "Infinite Challenge".

Zheng Zhiyong doesn't know what kind of position the upcoming "Infinite Challenge" will push him to, how much of the heat will be really used by him, and how much will be just bubbles.

Now Zheng Zhiyong is not completely used to his situation.Although he also knows that everything will cool down as time goes by, and by that time, his troubles will naturally disappear.What is the most important thing to do at the moment, he is clear.It's just that it's a little difficult for Zheng Zhiyong's psychological quality to put aside everything and concentrate on appreciating the stage wholeheartedly.

Perhaps it is necessary to use the paralyzed face again. After seeing that the camera did not move away at all, Zheng Zhiyong first silently apologized to Yu Taiyun who was affected, and then thought to himself.
