Thinker in the entertainment industry

Chapter 257

Under Leeteuk's few words, the show transitioned to the stage of "everyone chatting calmly together".Zheng Zhiyong is famous and popular because his grades have some prestige, but he does not strictly belong to a certain circle, and his authority will be limited while covering a wide range of subjects. He is not easy to be damaged, and most of the time Lacking the ability to put others in a difficult situation, even if such a non-aggressive person suddenly joined, it would not cause the slightest damage to the atmosphere.

"Thinker is very concerned about the current idol groups, is that true?"

"Yes, I have been more concerned about it in the past two years. For a while, because my mentality was not adjusted, I didn't pay much attention. And I became famous and active in 2015, and I have been active until now. Strictly speaking, Seventeen and I should be one period, although I am much older."

Zheng Zhiyong can't take Monstax, who also debuted in 2015, as an example. Their average age was too old when they debuted. The captain and Zheng Zhiyong are actually the same age. Just say seventeen.

"Thinker was born in 92, right? What about Seung Kwan and DK?"

"I was born in 97." Lee Seokmin, whose stage name is DK, said.

"I was in 98." Fu Shengkuan replied.

"Then you are really not young. I always think thinker is still very young. Is it because I stand in my own position?" Li Te, who is 34 years old this year and is worthy of the name, laughed.

"I feel like a 25-year-old," Jung Jiyong said, "Senior, do you feel the same when you watch SHINee and EXO?"

Resentment floated above Lite's head: "...Yes."

"I didn't waste the time I had, and spent [-] generations to the fullest. Do you have any regrets?"

Leeteuk: "I just think you can talk better than I thought... Seungkwan, DK, what do you think?"

Fu Shengkuan hesitated for a moment. He and Zheng Zhiyong are not very familiar after all. Although it can't be seen on the surface, it still feels a little unnatural: "Brother thinker is really a rapper?"

Zheng Zhiyong tried his best to make his tone sound a little more aggrieved: "Talk like your teammates are singing."

Husband Seung Kwan: ​​"Is that the role of rap?"

Zheng Zhiyong had to kneel down to his self-deprecation: "You won—"

He just said that his teammates are in charge of rap, what else can he say?

"Does thinker agree with Seung Kwan's statement?" Leeteuk changed the topic to a new direction.

"I agree, just like Shengkuan xi and DKxi are seventeen's lead singers, Shengkuan xi is still in charge of entertainment, 'responsibility' means taking responsibility for a certain aspect, how are you doing—" Zheng Zhiyong deliberately said Prolonged, "That's another story."

"Seventeen's hip-hop team once sang thinker's "Mediocre", isn't that true?" Li Lite dug up a lot of information during the chat before the official start of the radio station, which can come in handy at the right time.

"Yes." DK confirmed.

"Do thinkers know?"

"I know", Zheng Zhiyong's tone is calm and natural, with a sense of sincerity that does not cross the line at all, "very wise approach".

"wise?"

"Choose works that I can express well, and then express it well, like I don't know how to freestyle, and try not to raise my hands and shout 'sayyeah——'." Zheng Zhiyong has developed much better than basic now, because He is not good at mobilizing the atmosphere of the scene. In the game, he met basick twice and lost twice.

Li Te, who knew the stalk, smiled: "Thinker, you are also wise."

"It's not a bad quality," Zheng Zhiyong said calmly, "My impression of Seventeen is the same. It's a young and energetic group with many people, and they chose a style that suits them best." He just did it naturally He dragged the topic farther and farther, "Personally, I admire Woozixi and Gui Bumsuxi very much, because I am the type who would have a headache writing songs for a group of four or five people, and there is no way to arrange what each person is good at. part, so I basically wrote the song and figured out who the song would be for, most of it for me."

"Brother's work is so good, there is no regret if there is a little flaw." Fu Shengkuan reassured.

His teammate DK added: "And Brother Thinker is doing solo activities."

Zheng Zhiyong refused to accept this: "The members of the group are a bit troublesome. I do solo activities, so it's not a problem if I don't create for the group."

Leeteuk & Fu Seungkwan & DK: "Huh?"

"I won't take the initiative to participate in the kind of songs that need 'different characteristics' in a short time, unless I find it just right after I write it."

At this point in the conversation, the influence of Zheng Zhiyong's appearance gradually began to ferment, which most intuitively reflected the scrolling messages in front of Lite. Little, but a few buckets of water will be poured out of the puddle, and even if the ocean pours out the amount of a saltwater lake, it will still not damage people's desire to explore. From the connotation point of view, Zheng Zhiyong certainly belongs to the latter.

"A lot of people asked me if I knew Thinker before, and what was my impression of Thinker." This was what Leeteuk had expected a long time ago, and his attitude was very calm, "Yes, he is quite famous among the trainees, but... ..." Lite adjusted his expression slightly exaggeratedly at this time, and suppressed his smile, "We are not very familiar, thinker, I think it is Zheng Zhiyong, who is completely a child, who can touch the top of his head with his hand. kind".

"Is it my fault that I grow up late?" Zheng Zhiyong "protested" aggrievedly, but then began to follow Lite's words, "Senior is nine years older than me, maybe he will be better when he becomes an adult, the younger one The age gap is still very important.”

Leeteuk: "Yes, the age gap between adults is not as serious as it used to be, isn't it, Seungkwan?"

Fu Shengkuan looked confused: "That... I'm underage."

Lite was taken aback, but Zheng Zhiyong applauded immediately: "Sure enough, he is in charge of entertainment."

Lite: "You can also develop in the direction of arts, and learn and use them flexibly.

"I'm still learning. I don't have too much ambition in this regard. I'm satisfied if I can complete the work that has been assigned to me." Zheng Zhiyong said.

"In my impression, you never talked about rap in SM, nor did you write lyrics or compose music. Later, you found out that the thinker was Zheng Zhiyong, and it felt very unreal." Lite said, similar words were actually broadcast on "showthemoney" last year. When it was released, Kim Heechul and Lee Taemin had already said it once, but it was only once, and it would not be annoying for him to repeat it at this time.

"I didn't expect to become what I am today. There are always many variables in life. Now when I look at Seung Kwan and DK, I wonder what they will be like when they reach my age or the age of their seniors." Zheng Zhi Yong paused briefly at this time, and when he spoke again, he sighed a little more, "Let's go on smoothly."

"When did you start rapping?"

"In 2010, it was about the same time as I started to try to create. I met Park Jae Bum by chance that summer. We knew each other when we were trainees in the past, because the main specialty is dancing, and they all dance better. One category, see you later, I'm a little emotional."

As soon as the story showed signs of going off topic, Zheng Zhiyong gave a short pause, and then got back to the subject a bit bluntly: "Because of my needs, and brother Zai Fan's sympathy for me, the relationship between us has become very tense. Dear, Brother Zai Fan was very interested in hip-hop. At that time, he knew dok2, and he was able to decide what to do. He invested a lot of energy in that direction. My problem at that time was mainly because my past goals had already disappeared. I can’t achieve it. I only think of translation and other work as a means of earning a living. I don’t really like it. How do you say in life... There is no goal? Brother Zaifan suggested that I try more, maybe I can find something I like.”

"Like the hip-hop he's doing?" Lite reasoned naturally.

"Yes", Zheng Zhiyong said, "At the beginning, a lot of officials and self-boasting that seemed boring to me, I almost fell out with Brother Zai Fan."

Of course, the so-called "turning faces" was just a joke, Lite didn't care, and asked with great interest: "What happened next?"

"Later I found that although there were some phenomena that I didn't like, hip-hop was still a rare and frank music genre. Later I found that I had a good talent in rap and music creation, and the benefits were more than If there are disadvantages, things that I don’t like, I can not do that myself.”

"I remember Jay Park has a song called "MOMMAE"." Leeteuk said with a smile.

It is almost the most famous song of Jay Park, and it is also a song with quite "yellow" content. Not only Jay Park, the little yellow song is almost a label of AOMG.

Zheng Zhiyong said that he didn't want to do this either, and he was also very desperate: "This is the reason why I have never cooperated with Jay Bum in music. We have completely different ideas about music, but...we already have a lot of music. different places."

"I don't know much about hip-hop, but I still think you are very different."

"I felt it very clearly when I first started working underground."

"When was that?"

"2012."

"Are there many people who don't agree?"

"My rap skills are still recognized, but my style, many people find it strange, and my purpose, I have resistance to many common elements in hip-hop, and I just became a rapper."

"I'm curious about one thing," Leeteuk said, "Among the rappers that were active at the time, who was the first to say that they liked your raps without emotional factors?"

"Brother Verbaljint", Zheng Zhiyong said without hesitation, "He is relatively open and philanthropic in terms of music genres, and he also takes care of younger generations. He was worried that I would lose confidence due to the cold reaction, and he also took the initiative to exchange ideas with me. Actually When I started making music, I was not very eager to achieve any kind of results, but I am very grateful to my brother," he said softly with a smile on his face.

"what about now?"

"What did the senior say?"

"What's your attitude towards music now?"

"I hope there will be a good response. What I express can be understood and accepted, or bring people comfort and encouragement, but the primary goal of creation is a kind of self-realization, which is what I insist on."

"Like Story, Richman, and Tolerance," Little said.

"It's not all like that." The senior in front of me is from Superjunior, and the two juniors are from Seventeen. In a large group known for its stage effects, the musicality will inevitably be weaker. Zheng Zhiyong's creative attitude may be invisible. It demeaned others, and Zheng Zhiyong didn't want to see such a thing happen, "The content of "Dawn Comes" is not special. I first wrote this song just to try that kind of medieval style."

……

After all, it is a radio program and not an exclusive interview with the media. Zheng Zhiyong handed over some "background stories", and Leeteuk also stopped in moderation and turned to some topics that are closer to life. For example, Leeteuk, Fu Shengkuan, and DK are not used to the bitter taste. Not a cold, Zheng Zhiyong also showed his love for makeup and perfume.

"How much do you spend on this a month?" Lite asked curiously.

Zheng Zhiyong reported a number, and the three of them were shocked, but it was still Liteuk who spoke on his behalf: "Is this considered 'like it'?" You spent too little!

"My makeup is purposeful. When I want to show a certain image, I will use makeup to help me, so I wear no makeup most of the time. Once I wear makeup, it will be heavier. I mainly buy perfumes. I think Only when I am satisfied will I buy the whole bottle”, Zheng Zhiyong explained, “I can’t say how frugal I am, it’s certain that I don’t like waste.”

"Is there any brand you like recently?"

Zheng Zhiyong was silent for a while.

"What's the matter?" Leete asked.

"I want to wait for the endorsement to be discussed before I give an answer." Zheng Zhiyong said quietly.

The three people on the opposite side couldn't laugh or cry, "Did you find brother with an endorsement?" Fu Shengkuan asked.

"Once", Zheng Zhiyong said, "I didn't really resist it, but the timing was not right, so I pushed it away."

"Inappropriate?"

Liteuk and Fu Shengkuan have already reacted, but DK didn’t understand, since he said that, Zheng Zhiyong had to explain, he was evasive when he obviously had no reason, which was contrary to his image all the time: ""Story "The popularity of "is still there, I repeatedly told myself not to have too many extravagant expectations, it is worthwhile to improve, but I still hope that the good influence can be as much as possible, and I don't want to let myself destroy the situation."
