Thinker in the entertainment industry

Chapter 288 Quota

It is easy to set up students' personalities, but it is difficult to find teachers.Zheng Zhiyong realized this when he listened to the brief introduction of the program before.If the program team recruits professionals to rotate, it will be another "I'm Going to School", or a weakened version.Teachers who can teach and do variety shows are certainly not hard to find, but it is very difficult to find, it all depends on luck.

The most suitable person for this role is an entertainer who can teach—in view of the fact that the academic qualifications of entertainers are generally poor, the number of such people is even less than that of teachers who can teach and do variety shows. Zheng Zhiyong is not a person who is arrogant, but Min Yalin Saying that he is the best candidate he can think of, he himself thinks so.

Among the artists, there are some who have been teachers, but they either teach vocal music or dance. Is there anyone else who has taught cultural courses besides Zheng Zhiyong?

Thinking so in my heart, I still need to be more modest in my words: "People with brains can also think about it."

The full name of "Brain Men" is "Brain Sexy Era - Men with Problems". The content of the program is to invite a bunch of high IQs to brainstorm together.It is absolutely no problem for the people in this program to understand high school knowledge, but how it is taught is another matter.

Furthermore, in terms of popularity and attention, Zheng Zhiyong is more than an order of magnitude higher than the brainy men.So although Zheng Zhiyong was polite, it didn't change the determination of the PD and the writer to use him as a starting point. "They may not be able to give lectures. If everyone else is an idol, it's not convenient to interact with each other." Min Yalin said sincerely, "I know this program is not a very attractive choice for you, but I hope we can talk openly and honestly, please. You think about it again."

Broadcasting programs is not necessary for Zheng Zhiyong. To be precise, broadcasting programs are not necessary for "big music sources", let alone variety shows on cable channels.If Zheng Zhiyong really takes on the role of "teacher", he will have a lot to do and the pressure will be great.In addition, the team of the show is not well-known. If Zheng Zhiyong agrees to act, firstly, Zheng Zhiyong himself is interested, and secondly, it depends on how much benefit the program team can give Zheng Zhiyong.Whether the program can be passed in M ​​is still unknown, and the benefits are definitely not given by the TV station.

Everyone is an insider, and many things are tacitly understood. Zheng Zhiyong bowed his head and thought for a while: "Leave a number first. Does Writer Min have a kakao account? If you want to discuss about my script, it seems more convenient."

What kind of image Zheng Zhiyong is in the show, he has the right to speak.

This request is reasonable from Zheng Zhiyong's point of view. It would be a real loss if he came to participate in a variety show that was not so necessary for him.From the perspective of the program group, this request is not too much. They are not "showthemoney" or "produce101". for insurance considerations.

"Also, who is going to be invited to this show, can I find out in advance?"

Opposite him, Min Yalin and the program PD looked at each other and exchanged glances, while Fang Jihyuk, who was calmly drinking from a straw, was calm, but secretly bit the straw with his teeth to relieve his surprise.

"Is there anyone in thinkerxi who feels inconvenient, or thinks a suitable candidate?" Min Yalin asked.

"It's not particularly inconvenient. Even if you consider returning students, the idols who come here must be 21 years old at most. I don't have a deep connection with the children after 96. It is possible to have some grievances with the people behind them, but I won't be here. I can guarantee that I will vent my emotions on the show.” Zheng Zhiyong promised that Park Jin-young was included in the song festival of "Infinite Challenge" last year. Half dissatisfaction is enough to prove his sense of proportion. Afterwards, netizens learned more about the matter and went back to watch "Infinite Challenge" and thought it was wrong. Suspecting Park Zhenrong's private revenge is not something that Zheng Zhiyong can control.

So for Zheng Zhiyong, it is good that there are no JYP people in the show. If the show crew really wants to invite twice, he will not obstruct it-only twice is suitable in JYP's current group, got7 who debuted before twice, the youngest Member Kim Yugyeom took the college entrance examination last year and was admitted.

The two people on the opposite side nodded together, agreeing to Zheng Zhiyong's words.

"I do have a suitable candidate in my mind." Then, Zheng Zhiyong changed the subject and said frankly, "But there are some things I'm not sure about right now. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I can't say here. Out of the word 'recommended'".

At this time, Min Yalin also reached a tacit understanding with his immediate boss: "Actually, you can say 'recommended', everyone who wants to do a good job in the program has the qualifications to recommend."

Zheng Zhiyong's emphasis on "one" really made them feel at ease, which means that Zheng Zhiyong didn't want to grab the jobs of PDs and writers, at best, he wanted to be a favor, but it doesn't mean that they want to be hanged by Zheng Zhiyong all the time Therefore, it is impossible to promise or refuse lightly.

They haven't had enough contact with Zheng Zhiyong, so there is no "trust" or "distrust" emotion, so Min Yalin directly said, who do you want to recommend, just say it, let's look at the candidate first and then talk about other things.

It's not easy to talk, but Zheng Zhiyong must affirm this seriousness and sense of principle. He thought about it, then smiled embarrassedly, and decided to communicate with others.

"It's Cube's child, isn't there going to be a new group?" he said, "People are nice, but Cube's current state...I don't know what they are thinking anymore."

Zheng Zhiyong used to teach in Cube, and it is entirely possible to have a relationship with people or companies. The current chaos in Cube is no secret in the circle. The previous ambiguity can be explained here. PD breathed a sigh of relief: "If there is no problem with Cube, it doesn't matter if you haven't debuted yet." No one stipulates that trainees who have not debuted can only participate in the survival battle. Before their debut, some trainees from SM went to variety shows like "Non-Summit Talks" as regular guests, and some even hosted music shows. YG's trainees BI and Bobby went to "showthemoney" before their debut and contributed to this Cube has made a huge contribution to the mainstream. The momentum of Cube is not as strong as before, and it is indeed a mess now, but among small companies, it is still the most famous and scaled category. If other aspects are not too big The problem, debut or not will not be an obstacle.

"Thank you." Zheng Zhiyong said.

"Is there something wrong with the cube again?"

The next four people mainly talked about the details of the show, and Fang Jihyuk asked after returning.

Speaking of which, this was the first time he had seen Zheng Zhiyong engage in behind-the-scenes transactions.

"They have enough problems," Zheng Zhiyong teased with a little sarcasm, "I always have to do something, but I also need to have exchanges to make my heart feel better."

Zheng Zhiyong, who was walking with a few pieces of sushi that he ate not long ago, walked very lightly, his steps were erratic, and his voice was soft, but after listening to it, Fang Jihe tasted sharpness and stubbornness from it.

"Exchange terms?"

"Brother Xiansheng will appear on "Hitthestage", and I will help the people from Pentagon get a spot in a variety show. How about such an exchange?"

Zheng Zhiyong's purpose is to let Zhang Xiansheng go to the show he wants to go to, not to show off his arrogance, not to mention that he doesn't have that thing in the first place.After returning, he contacted Lu Xiantai directly.

Lu Xiantai is one of the elders of Cube. When Cube was first established, he was still the head of the office, responsible for the activities of beast. Later, he was promoted to be the vice president. During the civil strife in Cube, he did not take a clear-cut stand on Hong Shengcheng's side, but Neutrality was maintained between Hong Seung Sung and Park Jong Min.Of course, absolute neutrality does not exist. In theory, everyone has a preference, but with Lu Xiantai's qualifications and position, he will not roll up his sleeves, the people below will not be able to touch him, and the people above will not be idle. trouble him. There are always a few people working on the cube, and there are not enough people doing serious work now.

"I'm afraid there are less than one-third of the people you know among the staff." In his new office, Lu Xiantai said to Zheng Zhiyong, "Some teams with cooperative relations have also been cut off, and many things have to be done. Do", he laughed self-deprecatingly, "There are many things that no one does".

Zheng Zhiyong stepped into the cube gate again, but everything around him was no longer familiar to him.Cube’s operating conditions were not good last year. The huge deficit made it impossible for this deteriorating company to pay the high expenses in Gangnam District. At the beginning of 2016, Cube began to relocate, and officially moved to Seongdong District not long ago. .The place is a little bigger, and the location is a lot worse.However, the move did not seem to bring a new start to Cube, and the chaos and infighting continued.

"Representative Hong's thinking is different from Representative Park's. He always hopes that the company will have a good development. He has also devoted a lot of attention to the promotion of Pentagon. It's just that the current situation of the company can't even guarantee the debut on time. I'm afraid it will let him down. It's a painstaking effort", Lu Xiantai showed weakness when it was time to show weakness, and there was no one else here anyway, "Please move thinker, but I'm afraid we can't give corresponding cooperation."

"What I want to say is not this, the president, writing songs for a group is often the last time to complete the statement, not only fans care about it," Zheng Zhiyong said, "Does the president know about "hitthestage"?"

"I've heard of the dance version of 'Immortal Famous Songs'." Lu Xiantai said.

"M has a new variety show. I'll introduce Zheng Yushuo as a regular guest. Brother Xiansheng will be on "hitthestage", is that okay?" Zheng Zhiyong didn't play around, and stated his request directly.

Lu Xiantai was slightly taken aback, but did not immediately comment on Zheng Zhiyong's proposal: "Is there anything special about the candidate? HUI and E.DAWN are the main candidates."

Zheng Zhiyong knew this a long time ago, and he really couldn't do anything about it: "That program is for idols to study hard to prepare for the college entrance examination. Li Huize and Kim Hyo Jong have already graduated, if I remember correctly." Cube's trainee When they debuted, they were generally quite young. The youngest Koreans in both Beast and BTOB debuted at the age of 19, and Pentagon was no exception. Zheng Zhiyong had no choice.

"That's it, that's fine."

Zheng Zhiyong's eyebrows moved slightly: "Is there any question?"

If you dig a hole for me, I may not be able to avoid it, but I will definitely find it in the future. I don’t want to make enemies with others, nor am I afraid of making enemies with others.

Lu Xiantai didn't hear Zheng Zhiyong's dangerous voice, but he knew that he needed to say a few words to reassure the person opposite, "There will be a result in a short time." He showed a complicated smile, "In order to avoid any If someone who is well-known and has nothing to lose can talk casually and cause irreparable consequences, it can be considered to find something for him to show that 'the company treats him very well' and let him stop thinking about other things for the time being."

This idea doesn't seem to be a sudden idea, so I just... just handed Lu Xiantai a ladder?

"It's you, thinker, the relationship between you and Xiansheng seems to be closer than many people imagined, or did he not go to the police station for nothing?"

"I'm not that noble," Zheng Zhiyong didn't admit to Noh Hyun-tae's words, nor did he deny it, "I used a little human affection, but I also have the opportunity to write dance music without much pressure, and the comments about Hyun Seung hyung on the Internet don't matter. , I did not think of a flawless image". SimonD said in the interview that he wanted to continue working with ESENS, but he didn’t get scolded. No matter how strict Korean online reviews are, it’s not mainstream to ask to break up with friends who have made mistakes. Zheng Zhiyong doesn’t have to be jealous.

Lu Xiantai smiled: "I hope I can say 'happy cooperation' to you as soon as possible."

"I hope so too." Zheng Zhiyong said.
