Chapter 146 146. Dinner

After several sessions, the "Infinite Challenge" Song Festival has established a pattern:

After the broadcast, the pronunciation source will definitely sweep the audio source list.

This time the song festival is no exception. After the song festival was broadcast on the evening of the 22nd, the sound source was released at midnight on the 23rd. Six songs quickly occupied the top six of the real-time list."My God" by Kwon Ji-yong, Taeyang, and Hwang Kwang-hee ranked first, "The Era of Tolerance" by Jung Ji-yong and Jung Jun-ha ranked second, followed by "Leon" by Park Myung-soo and iu, haha ​​and zion. T's 'Sponsor', Jung Hyung-don and Hyukoh's 'Handsome Warehouse', Yoo Jae-seok and Park Jin-young's 'I'msosexy'. Looking at the row of "Infinity Challenge" from the top to the bottom of the melon list, it looks quite spectacular.

It is worth mentioning that the group of "produced by "showmethemoney" squeezed to the 7-11 place by "produced by "Infinite Challenge", followed by Zheng Zhiyong's "richman", Song Minho's "Cowardly", cknut " What I Can Do", Zheng Zhiyong "iwanttosay", and incredivle "Brother's Car".

There are three songs in the top ten of the music list, and these three songs were released separately. Last month, Zheng Zhiyong made other people's songs popular. This month, he released his own song. Zheng Zhiyong's achievements are even more brilliant one floor.

Although the publicity effect of appearing in "Infinite Challenge" is not as good as performing in the song festival and "showmethemoney" after a lot of troubles, let your own songs become popular and take the songs you wrote for others. The difficulty of Huo is not the same. Strictly speaking, it is hard to say which of the two is more difficult, but Zheng Zhiyong's already brilliant resume has added an infinite brilliance to it.

"When I was soloing, you didn't write the song "The Era of Tolerance"?"

"I swear to God, there really isn't."

Zheng Zhiyong solemnly promised.

Zhang Xiansheng, who is repeating the single "The Era of Tolerance", sighed regretfully: "I wish I could write it earlier."

"Want to sing? This is not so pure hip-hop."

"It's dance music." Zhang Xiansheng said that hip-hop is one aspect, and the strong style of music is really his love.

Zheng Zhiyong is powerless against this obsession: ""Twenty Generations' First Love" will be very sad, and I who wrote "Twenty Generations' First Love" are also very sad."

"I thought you would say that "Twenty Generations' First Love" would pass, and "The Era of Tolerance" company would not let me sing." Zhang Xiansheng said.

"I want to say that too," Zheng Zhiyong filled his glass with fruit juice, and filled Zhang Xiansheng's glass by the way, he pursed his lips, and finally mustered up his courage, "Brother Junheng... How is he now?"

"What are you asking?"

Zhang Xiansheng's reaction was not that sharp, and Zheng Zhiyong had to be more straightforward: "The results of "yey"."

In the past two months, Zheng Zhiyong has experienced too many things, especially at the end of July and early August, when netizens suddenly attacked and the incident reversed sharply, Zheng Zhiyong could still remain tough externally, but in fact he was on the verge of exhaustion. It wasn't until the song festival was recorded that I was able to take a breather.In this case, Zheng Zhiyong didn't have the energy to take care of some things, such as the return of beast this summer.

The performance of the prelude song "Going to Work" is not bad, with one number one, beast's "first place in the prelude song" label is barely maintained.However, the sound source performance of the title song "yey" is too tragic to describe. Of course, for boy groups, the sound source performance is important but not very important. But in terms of one, "Inkigayo", "Music Bank", "m ! The results of countdown and showchampion are not much better, at best they are a fig leaf. Compared with "goodluck" and "2014:12" in 30, the results of "yey" have regressed, not 01:30 point.

Zheng Zhiyong used to be too busy to take care of himself and didn't have the energy to care about other things. Now he has finally recovered and noticed the poor response of "yey". Beast has ended their short and not-so-pleasant promotional period.He wanted to know the current situation of the beast, but he was a little... afraid to ask.

This is different from the time in 2014. At that time, whether it was ledapple, exid or mq, they didn't have much hope for the achievements of the song, but beast was different, although beast reached its peak in 2011. On a downhill road, they have always had the name of a first-line group, and in 2014 they also achieved a rejuvenation in performance.The results of "yey" this year are like this, which is really not a good momentum.Apart from being uncomfortable, Zheng Zhiyong also had a little uneasiness and a guilty conscience that he himself was not sure about.

This time, Zhang Xiansheng could see Zheng Zhiyong's concern from Zheng Zhiyong's ugly face, and he felt a little blocked when he thought of "yey", but he still relieved: "There will definitely be disappointments, but it's already like that...don't mind it so much, It's not all about you, or rather, it's not all about the song."

Of course Zheng Zhiyong knows that songs can't decide everything.The intensity of publicity, the opponents at the booth, and the unstable orientation of the public are all factors that determine the success or failure of a song.This year's comeback is not much publicized, the publicity period is short, and the stage of "yey" is not as carefully choreographed as "goodluck" and "12:30", and it is freestyle dancing casually. The results of "yey" are not good, in fact Not entirely wronged.But it is a fact that Yong Junhyung firmly decided to use "yey" as the main theme because of "Twenty Generations' First Love", and it is also a fact that Zheng Jiyong strongly supported this and participated in the creation of "yey".Zheng Zhiyong will not rush to take responsibility for things that he has no responsibility for. Even though it is only a small part of the things that he is responsible for, Zheng Zhiyong will not hold them high.

He will grasp the degree, and it will not work as if it has nothing to do with him.

But what Zhang Xiansheng said earlier is correct, the promotion period of "yey" is over, and Zheng Zhiyong can't do anything about it.Singing "midnight" on "Infinite Challenge" can make this first song that was lost three years ago when it hit "Gangnam Style" achieve a counterattack, and its performance on the music chart is quite stable. "Going to work" even overshadowed the results of "yey". Even Zheng Zhiyong did not expect such a result. The reason why a miracle is a miracle is that it cannot be counted on repeatability, and it is not a scientific theorem.

"What are your plans for the future?"

"The "beautiful show" concert, continue to go to Japan, what else is there, Doojoon may want to film, I don't know." Zhang Xiansheng said depressed, "I am used to performing and performing, making money and making money."

Zheng Zhiyong frowned slightly, the arrangement of Cube and Beast in 2014 was reasonable, maybe he learned the lesson of the dismal performance of "Shadow" in 2013, this year he put most of his energy on going to the stage, besides teaching , didn't care much about Cube's decision-making, but judging from his smattering of knowledge, at least this year's Cube's arrangement for Beast is very outrageous.

"What about the others?" Zheng Zhiyong asked, "What do other groups plan?"

"Btob is also going to Japan, and it doesn't matter that they are not established in Korea." Zhang Xiansheng replied angrily. When he said this, he remembered another thing, "That...be careful, the company recently There's a lot going on."

"what?"

Although Zheng Zhiyong is not in Cube now, he and Zhang Xiansheng only became acquainted when he was about to leave Cube, but after all, they are ex-colleagues, and there is no conflict with Cube. Not hiding it: "Do you remember Kim Hyo Jong?"

"Remember, rapper trainee." Zheng Zhiyong, a Cube trainee, is either familiar or unfamiliar, but as long as he has been taught, he will leave an impression on him.

"Didn't HyunA just start her solo activities, the main title is "Because of Red", Jung Il Hoon did the feat, btob will go to Japan later, the feat will let Kim Hyo Jong come."

"And then? Does Kim Hyo Jong have any plans for the future?"

"do not know."

Zheng Zhiyong remembered the scene of his "last lesson" on the cube after he participated in "showmethemoney". That segment was cut in half when it was actually broadcast, leaving only about 1 minute left, which Zheng Zhiyong made Among a bunch of topics, it is considered insignificant, but Zheng Zhiyong was quite impressed by the temporary plugging of the cube that time.Of course it is necessary to promote newcomers, but there is no rush but no rush, and there is no specific charter, which really can't make Zheng Zhiyong feel at ease.

"Zheng Yixun is not in a good mood." Zheng Zhiyong smiled wryly.

"What do you think? Beast was already up when btob debuted, what's the situation with btob now?" Zhang Xiansheng said, "I really want to be like before, without worrying about anything."

Zheng Zhiyong had a bad feeling: "What about now?"

"I'm afraid I have to stand in line. Now there are conflicts in the company above, and the atmosphere below is also weird. I hope I think too much... You know, I don't see these things very clearly, and it's hard to say anything to you. It really involves you. Representative Hong should be able to tell you."

After finally ending the journey in the two major programs, I had a gathering with my friends when I had time, but the private dinner turned into communicating negative energy to each other, which made Zheng Zhiyong very depressed.It's not that he hasn't experienced setbacks before, but it's better to have one thing less than one thing more. Cube's situation is not good, and he is not in a good mood because he is related to Cube.

Zheng Zhiyong's level of consolation is mediocre, Zhang Xiansheng is even worse than him, the two of them have passed each other's negative energy, so they can only turn the topic to "showmethemoney".As expected of Zhang Xiansheng's enthusiastic audience, he talked more when he mentioned this.Zheng Zhiyong also heard Zhang Xiansheng's evaluation of his performance in this program for the first time: "I should like your final performance more, but I can't stand it compared to the previous one."

Zheng Zhiyong with a knife in his heart: "...Brother, can you speak more plainly?"

"To put it bluntly, I am more envious of the kind who speak without fear of offending others..."

"Wait." Once you get familiar with it, you won't pay attention to conversation etiquette. Zheng Zhiyong raised his hand and interrupted Zhang Xiansheng, "Among the rappers this season, do you like cknut or superbee the most?"

"Superbee."

"Okay, it's fine if it's not cknut," Zheng Zhiyong joked, "Brother, keep talking."

"You still had some scruples before, but you said it more provocatively later, am I right? But you are provocative, and I am worried that you will offend too many people."

"Hahahaha, brother Xiansheng, you finally said something nice." Zheng Zhiyong didn't care about Zhang Xiansheng's "wonderful" expression after hearing this sentence, and laughed so hard that he almost lost his breath. It took him a long time to relax. Come over, "Actually, I didn't think of being so tough at the beginning, do you believe it?"

Zheng Zhiyong said the same thing when "showmethemoney" recorded a side story and invited the top four contestants to have a dinner together.

"I have thought about the situation of being controversial and being scolded. At the beginning, I thought that apologizing when I was scolded is definitely not enough, but it is not good to be too tough. There is no good precedent. If I can keep silent, I will keep silent. say."

These sincere words made the other three laugh, even cknut: "Then what happened next?"

"I didn't expect things to happen so quickly. It's still the type of 'beating people in the street'. I can't even keep silent." Zheng Zhiyong was very wronged.

"Then why didn't you apologize?" asked Basic, who was sitting opposite Zheng Zhiyong.

"One is because I said it to the outside world, and I think I did nothing wrong."

Um?Is there any reason why you didn't say it?Song Minho, who was sitting on Zheng Zhiyong's right hand, couldn't help but look sideways: "What about the second one?"

"Second... Even if I apologized at the time, I will still be scolded for disclosing my disability later, believe it or not," Zheng Zhiyong spit in a brisk tone, "'I was hit by a drunk driving car, and I was hit by a drunk driving driver again. People beat me up, and finally apologized under the pressure of public opinion, how embarrassing', someone will scold me like this."

basick;&Song Minho;&cknut: It makes sense, but I'm speechless.

"So, although I haven't been edited by the devil, due to various force majeure and accidental factors, everyone's impression of me is still somewhat different from the reality."

Zheng Zhiyong concluded.
