Thinker in the entertainment industry

Chapter 185 185. The Mediocre

When the concert of the second season of "unprettyrapstar" was held in the Olympic Park, more than half a month had passed since the last broadcast of the competition.Meeting the female rappers again, even though they were not very familiar with them at the beginning, Zheng Zhiyong still noticed the changes in people.

In addition to being busy with "zeze", Zheng Zhiyong, who practiced with Jun Zhiyun, can guess why there are these changes. This program can more or less reverse their fate, but no matter how much the change is At least, sooner or later people will forget the memories of this autumn. After the show is over, the future road still has to be walked by itself.

The audience who came here obviously haven't forgotten the "unprettyrapstar" that ended half a month ago, but those who participated in this show are more or less psychologically prepared for the farewell.Zheng Zhiyong could no longer feel the longing, eagerness to try, and even the smell of gunpowder that he smelled when he came here before.Think about Zheng Zhiyong's relaxation and sadness when the top four had dinner together after "showmethemoney". In fact, he can fully understand the mood of the contestants.

The program is definitely a turning point, but it is still hard to say what kind of turning point it will be.

The two variety shows in the summer have changed Zheng Zhiyong's situation drastically, but people here can't see any obvious changes when comparing Zheng Zhiyong now with what they saw a month ago.He still maintains the "speed" that can optimize the effect of not offending others and making himself uncomfortable, neither enthusiastic nor indifferent."Zeze", which seems to be enough to occupy a place in the hot news of the entertainment industry at the end of the year, did not have the slightest impact on him.

The influence must have been there, but after staying on the cusp of the storm a few times by accident, the ability to conceal emotions was exercised in this way.

Zheng Zhiyong, who was shrunk in the corner, thought quietly.

The front of the stage is glamorous, and the back is full of chaos. This is the normal state of the concert. The special status of rappers makes their demand for stage costumes very low, and it only reduces the busyness a little.The two collaboration stages of Zheng Zhiyong and Jun Jiyun are relatively simple. When he is free, Zheng Zhiyong finds a place where he will not disturb others and stay quietly.

At this time, we can also see the difference between the parties and the non-parties. No matter how strong Zheng Zhiyong's sense of responsibility is, he thinks that if he does his best, the tension will subside a little.

Of course, it may also be because the relationship between him and Jun Jiyun is not that close. Now thinking of beast, Zheng Zhiyong still feels a little guilty and guilty.

"Worst self-soothing I've ever seen, just lazy, just try hard..."

The stage of "Don't Change" has been completed by Zheng Zhiyong and Jun Jiyun, but the unreleased "Mediocre" will be the finale later.Backstage, Quan Zhiyun began to think about the vocalization she had practiced countless times. Zheng Zhiyong was worried about the state of her voice when she heard it.

"Sister Zhiyun", he finally couldn't help it, "Is your voice okay?"

Quan Zhiyun closed her mouth with a little embarrassment: "...It's okay."

"We have already recorded the sound source." Zheng Zhiyong said tactfully.

There are the first songs in the show, but there are not many songs that became popular because of their extraordinary performance at the concert. "Mediocre" was chosen to be sung at the concert in order to have a publicity effect, and it is unnecessary to place too many hopes on it.

"Do you still remember what my sister said when she told me her thoughts on "Mediocre"?" Zheng Zhiyong flattened his fingers comfortingly and lightly rested on Quan Zhiyun's arm, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved upwards .

"Almost forgot." Quan Zhiyun said.

The tense atmosphere subsided a little, and Zheng Zhiyong heard the sound of high heels hitting the ground clearly even in the noisy backstage.

This sense of rhythm... Zheng Zhiyong turned his head, and as expected, he saw Yezi who had just returned from the stage, and his eyes just met.

So he doesn't play the "turn a blind eye" trick either: "Is Crazydog over?"

"Yes", Yezi realized at this moment that her state was a bit too murderous, so she took a few steps forward and took a few steps forward. When she sat down on the chair, she had basically been brought to her by "crazydog". "Kill the gods, the Buddha blocks and kills the Buddha" broke away from the state, "I thought I would sing it many times, but now I don't think so."

"At least there won't be many collaboration stages with Senior Sane." Zheng Zhiyong said.When mentioning "crazydog", the first thing people think of is Yezi's unaccompanied rap in the show. When it actually came out as the sound source, it was a version re-produced by Rhymer, the leader of brandnewmusic, with Sane adding feat.

Yezi smiled: "Yes."

Zheng Zhiyong is now a little familiar with Yezi, not because they want to know each other so much subjectively, but because of objective reasons.This year's mama arranged a collaborative stage for the contestants of "showmethemoney" and "unprettyrapstar". The participants were basick, lilboi, truedy and yezi respectively.They are all people who are going to mama, and they are all people who are going to mama for the first time. It is natural to be familiar with it.

"There seems to be a lot of hip-hop stages this year." Zheng Zhiyong has already got mama's program arrangement. "Your cooperation stage, Sane seniors also have it. Overseas fans may not be very used to it."

"It's still kpop that is acceptable overseas, but in China, the Hallyu has already..." Jun Zhiyun, who has a deep understanding of this, spread his hands.

The 4minute group is still only known overseas by Kim Hyuna, but no matter what, the goal of the idol group is to "open up overseas markets".Quan Zhiyun is no longer counting on it now, at least he has worked hard for it.

The Korean domestic market has become more and more inclined to the quality of music itself, and talented musicians have made more money than before. However, the "essential" route lacks in earning foreign exchange, which is still a serious problem.

"They must like someone who has the talent of zion.t and the face of a thinker." Zheng Zhiyong said.

"Can you be a little more proud in other aspects?" Quan Zhiyun said dumbfounded.Obviously other abilities are remarkable, so it's nothing to just boast about your looks.

"It's not the time to be proud, and now is not the time to be proud." Zheng Zhiyong said with a calm and relaxed expression, with a double entendre, "We hope to have luck, but it may not be possible, and we have been using hard work in exchange for results." people' only".

When the unfamiliar prelude sounded, there was a commotion in the audience, mixed with sporadic cheers

The release of new songs at the concert is a good gimmick. Jung Jiyong is very satisfied with the over-released songs. There are not many people who have been looking forward to it since the broadcast of the show.

The prelude is a mixture of trumpet and clarinet, with a little bit of uplifting, but also a hard texture like metal.Jeon Ji Yoon took the lead in raising the microphone, using a mixed interpretation of rap and singing, adding melody to specific words, smooth and not boring.

"When I was young, I had many dreams and unique desires. They gradually became absurd. As I grew older, you were just a mediocre person with no commendable talent. But I don't want to go down, even if the road ahead is long."

What Zheng Zhiyong read was pure rap, and his words were first spoken to Quan Zhiyun.

"You can be jealous, the post-me, all the things you desperately want, I can easily get."

His voice was as light as a joke, but it was by no means proud or self-deprecating.

"iunderstand, I have had such a feeling. I once wanted to create a classic performance of a painting that has been handed down from generation to generation. I sweat so much and my fingers are always glued."

When Zheng Zhiyong turned his head and his eyes met the audience, people seemed to understand what Zheng Zhiyong was doing—he was just stating the facts, but sometimes the facts are like this, and it is easy to make people emotional levels of misunderstanding.

"That's something you can't do well after working hard. You don't know if you don't try. If you have ordinary aptitude, what I hear will be another story."

Quan Zhiyun's summary or evaluation is concise and concise, popular but not clichéd.Unrequited effort, which is not a common evaluation object.

And Zheng Zhiyong looked at his fingers and smiled.

"Yes, 12 years in reverse, a new stage of my life. The teacher said that my body is not worthy of envy, nor need to be pitiful. In four years, I have come to the front, the starting point for countless people to start from. The dance soaked in sweat, It is hard for me to say, the greatest pride."

Zheng Zhiyong mentioned his past for the second time after "richman", and his emotions were not intense, nor could it be said that it was completely calm.There is nostalgia in his voice, but not too much nostalgia.

The past can never go back, but it left a lot of good things and became the driving force to move forward, that's how it feels.Zheng Zhiyong didn't speak the truth, and he didn't play any puns. He just told a story, which left endless aftertaste.

I don't say so much to express that I am miserable and I am sorry, can't you understand something?

"I am a mediocre person, and you are a mediocre person. The most true facts are also the cruelest. The vast majority of life cannot be smooth sailing.

Walking through twists and turns, encountering difficulties, it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad fate.In the end, different choices create different people. "

The chorus was jointly written by Zheng Zhiyong and Quan Zhiyun, and it follows the characteristics of Zheng Zhiyong's composition - it is not difficult and easy to remember.Almost all the notes in this chorus are in the middle range. It is not so much the artist saying "you all have to listen to me and follow my feelings", but a friend sighing and admonishing in the ear.

This is something I have learned over a long period of time, and I hope you can understand it too.

All living beings like us are just ordinary people.

It's been a while since Jeon Ji Yoon sang with such ease.

Singing is definitely not her shortcoming, but it can't be used as a strong point, because the effect of a song is not completely determined by the strength of her singing skills.For example, Zheng Zhiyong may not have very advanced skills, but his basic skills are solid, his emotional expression ability is strong, and his timbre is very good. Therefore, he was able to sing "midnight" released three years ago on "Infinite Challenge" again, and with The public also took a high look at his singing ability.Quan Zhiyun is a bit better than Zheng Zhiyong in terms of skills and breath, but other aspects are really lackluster. When Xu Jiayun became the lead singer and she became a rapper, it was not just because of Quan Zhiyun's lack of appearance.

This made her a little obsessed with proving that "my singing skills are very good" when singing, and therefore a little tired.But she sang "Mediocre", a song that naturally made her relax. Although she said "You and I are mediocre", Quan Zhiyun can take comfort from it.

As Zheng Zhiyong said in rap before, there are things that you can’t do well after working hard. When he was a child, he was passionate about the field of art. Sex, this helped Zheng Zhiyong's later creation is a later thing. At that time, it seemed that the result was futile. There are also things that can be done after hard work, such as dancing. Zheng Zhiyong is not a genius in this, but he can Well done.But if you don't try it, you'll never know how it turns out.

When Quan Zhiyun told Zheng Zhiyong about his thoughts on "Mediocre", he didn't expect too much. He didn't expect Zheng Zhiyong to write his past into the lyrics, and he didn't expect that he didn't experience much. Zheng Zhiyong, who has quarrels between people, is richer than she imagined in the column of "life experience".

"So I have enough experience and feelings to use as material," Zheng Zhiyong replied to Jun Jiyun's emotion, "Things that felt futile at the time will be useful in the future, and things that gave me a sense of accomplishment at the time have been used now. No more, I didn’t think of these at the beginning, I just thought it was the most suitable to do, so I did it, even if there are a lot of them that are useless now, it’s better than doing nothing at that time.”

Quan Zhiyun suddenly became enlightened, and the hazy feeling about "Mediocre" turned into a clear idea - she knew what she should say.

She didn't do well enough in rap, and she participated in "unprettyrapstar" with less than a year left in her contract and her popularity was still very poor, which was a bit like a fight between trapped beasts.But she chose the most worthy direction and worked hard.Maybe the struggling look is a bit ugly, but what kind of look is good-looking?Waiting for pie in the sky?

"In the end, different choices create different people..."

The thorns pierced on the chest like ice edges were melted by the warm and soft voice, and the hot liquid slowly penetrated and merged with the blood.
