Thinker in the entertainment industry

Chapter 291

When it comes to candidates, Min Yalin can only describe her feelings as "having fun while suffering".

Due to the setting of "idol cram school" to "prepare for the college entrance examination", not only is it very difficult to find a suitable teacher candidate, there are almost no substitutes that can have the same effect as Zheng Zhiyong, and it is not easy to find a suitable idol actor It's an easy job.As far as the first requirement is concerned - not going to college, a large number of popular idols "swish" away from the list.

This is a painful but necessary choice. Since the "cram class for the college entrance examination" is used as a signboard, people who have already gone to college should not come to join in the fun.

On this basis, it is natural that this year's college entrance examination graduates are the best. In the idol industry, the reason of "studying" will only be moved out when leaving the circle. Idols who want to continue to operate will only give up their studies for work , and if the idol can review the knowledge points by the way when they are on variety shows, it will still be nice to say it.

Excluding the cases of going to school early and repeating grades, this year's graduating students were born in 1998, and considering the first two cases, the birth date of the idols participating in the program can fluctuate slightly.

Min Yalin and other writers broaden the scope from two perspectives. One is that those who have participated in the college entrance examination but failed to pass the exam. The passing rate of the Korean college entrance examination is not high, and the group of "repeaters" has a certain representativeness. In high school, artists generally don’t take much class after their debut. From the perspective of cultural courses, the third year of high school is not necessarily better than the first year of high school, but those who didn’t even go to high school are out of the question.

Calculated in this way, the idol artists who starred in "idol cram school" were born between 1996 and 1999. Idols of this age group are far from being the backbone of the entertainment industry. They are almost all newcomers. Min Yalin had a show before The PD and Zheng Zhiyong talked about finding regular guests, and joked with Zheng Zhiyong that the popularity of this show depends on the teacher.

"Fortunately", Min Yalin heard Zheng Zhiyong's words, she didn't turn on the camera in a hurry, sat down and said, "It's hard to find people, but it's no problem to find people to appear in the show."

There are only a few variety shows that allow idols to appear. "idol cram school" is not well-known in terms of production team, and the two gold-lettered signs of "m" and "thinker" are completely enough. When I come up, I just stare at the gold medal like Na Young-seok pd The production is purely high-sighted and low-handed.

"The most popular one should be Tian Jungkook from BTS. He was born in 97. His busy schedule has already been postponed for a year. It's hard to delay this year."

"Is it from the same school as you, Yu Shuo?"

"Yes", Zheng Yushuo nodded, "Senior Tian Jungkook is one level above me."

"Half of current idols are from Seoul Arts High School, 40.00% are from Hanlin Arts High School, and the remaining [-]% are from other schools." Min Yalin's statement is of course exaggerated, but idols basically study art in high school, especially It is also an indisputable fact that two famous art high schools, Seoul Arts High and Hallim Arts High, get together.

"The show will not also be divided into Seoul, Hanlin and other three factions." Zheng Zhiyong said.

"There are not many people in total", Min Yalin said that the script is difficult to realize, "Pledis also agreed with Seventeen's Kim Mingyu to play the role."

"I remember you told me that four of them took the college entrance examination last year, and none of them passed."

"Well, it's Wonwoo, Mingyu, Seungkwan, and DK." When Min Yalin said this, she suddenly remembered something, "I watched the fan shoot and postscript of the idol sports meeting. You interacted with Wonwoo, seventeen you familiar?"

"Generally, I know Vernon. I met other people backstage. They can be called by name. I don't usually contact them." gone?"

Min Yalin glanced at him: "You can just say 'shelter the limelight' directly."

Zheng Zhiyong smiled without saying a word.

Not long ago, due to gastroenteritis, Quan Yuanyou was absent from the opening song of Seventeen's follow-up song "Verynice", but in some people's eyes, this is more like a cold storage.Because before that, he had just been uncovered a black history - Quan Won Woo was an anti of Girls' Generation in elementary school, and he had posted a black picture of Kim Taeyeon in ps on the school forum in 2008.

After the black history was uncovered, Quan Yuanyou publicly apologized, probably because Girls’ Generation, which encountered the Black Sea incident in 2008, was almost on the level of anti-the whole people. Convicting Quan Yuanyou is equivalent to convicting most of the boy group fans at that time. It may also be because Quan Yuanyou, who was in elementary school at the time, was considered young and ignorant. Although there were condemnations on the Internet, it was undoubtedly much gentler than other scandals, and the popularity was not very high.No one mentioned the matter of "retiring from the team", and even Quan Yuanyou didn't need to express further, but it is not appropriate to start activities immediately after a few days after apologizing, so people in the industry who don't know the specific situation doubt the authenticity of the gastroenteritis is very normal.

Zheng Zhiyong is not interested in true or false, he just recalled the nervousness and urgency of Quan Yuanyou when he was in charge of the rap of "Hitting Hallucinations" at the beginning of the year, and he was a little bit emotional.Life goes on and one never knows what happened, or what is about to happen.He didn't have any special views on the act of blackening the picture itself.Of course Zheng Zhiyong doesn't like anti, and he doesn't like the word "young and ignorant" in many cases, but he knows that there are indeed many people in elementary school whose three views have not yet formed, and there is no need to think about rational analysis of problems. At a reasonable age, sending a black picture of a star you don't like to your classmates is not a crime that needs to be taken seriously eight years later.

Zheng Yushuo, who was the youngest and lowest in status, was still eyeing him, but Zheng Zhiyong turned his head away at this moment, and said to him with a smile: "You didn't say anything you shouldn't say before, did you? Clean it up before your debut. Well, this kind of thing...is harmful."

"I won't cause trouble." Zheng Yushuo said seriously.

"Don't be nervous, if you make a mistake, of course you have to settle the account. If there is no disaster, no one can do anything about it. It's good to know, right?" Zheng Zhiyong, who had already taken out a pen and paper to prepare for the "meeting" later, turned slowly Holding the ballpoint pen in his hand, he winked at Min Yalin.

Min Yalin's indifferent face: "Don't be crowed."

After going off topic for a while, the topic returned to the question of why Min Yalin chose Kim Mingyu instead of her husband Seungkwan who seems to have a better sense of entertainment. As a writer, Min Yalin has her logic: "Mingyu has a kind of personality that the show needs. trait."

"what?"

"Silly."

Zheng Zhiyong was speechless for a moment.

Min Yalin is not in Heijin Mingyu, she quickly gave a further explanation: "Mingyu's settings have always had insensitive features, and at the same time he has always done a good job in the work that requires hands-on work. In my preliminary plan, he It is the most suitable for taking on the role of a scumbag, and at the same time has an excellent performance in a certain subject or a certain type of question. If the situation does not meet expectations, the setting of 'repeater' can also be used for a while."

Min Yalin wrote a lot of scripts before the show started, but the idols who starred in this show were not the characters she wrote. The so-called scripts are essentially just some preparations at the beginning of the show's recording, and it is inevitable to modify, add or delete them in the future.

"I'm considering who can take on the role of a 'good student'."

"If you don't have such a role, you don't need to force it. The pressure will be great." Zheng Zhiyong's thoughts are a little different from Min Yalin's. "What about female idols?"

Now the three boy groups with the most popular posts on the forum are exo, bts, and seventeen. They are called ebs, and they have the same name as a certain educational TV station. The "idol cram school" in the middle of ebs can attract two people, although BTS And seventeen, especially the latter is still lacking in nationality, but at least has the advantage of rising momentum.The situation of women's groups is actually a little bit worse in comparison. Exid, mamamoo, and redvelvet are all over 20 years old, and the young blood of the right age has a bit of a reputation.

Zheng Zhiyong is deeply worried about this, and there is also a kind of intricate prudence, but in the eyes of professional Min Yalin, although there are problems, they are not too serious. First of all, this program does not need to pay attention to equality between men and women: "PD is contacting gfriend."

"Oh, the two youngest ones seem to be okay, what else?"

"ioi." A limited group of 101 people created after the end of "produce11".

It's a pity that Zheng Zhiyong didn't experience the thrill of being a "national producer". He has a certain understanding of ioi, but not much - it seems that he needs to take tutoring again.

Zheng Zhiyong's plainness and thoughtfulness made Min Yalin feel a little boring, and at the same time, it gave her an idea, and she became interested: "Yu Shuo xi."

Zheng Yushuo, who didn't know why he was named: "Huh?"

"What students have to do is not only to do their homework, go to the front of the classroom to answer questions, or raise their hands to ask questions," Min Yalin said meaningfully. part".

Zheng Zhiyong let out a long sigh.Regardless of the number of fans or nationality, he alone is almost equal to all the regular guests who come to the cram school - only consider the individual status rather than the sum of the groups he belongs to.It would be naive to say that he didn't expect that the show crew would find a way to make him popular.

"Yusuo, respect the teacher." He said weakly.

"Don't worry, you are going to a cram school, and the relationship with Thinker is a business."

Zheng Yushuo, who didn't know the situation yet, tried his best to be obedient and talk less, silently glanced at Zheng Zhiyong: business relationship?That thinker= came out for sale?

The brain hole that popped up made Zheng Yushuo break his skills a little, showing a "wonderful" expression.

"Let's start shooting." Min Yalin was very satisfied with everyone's unique "artistic sense" and decided to strike while the iron was hot and start working directly. "If you are afraid of not doing well, then act nervous."

"The writer said that he might ask me ideal-type questions on the show."

After Zheng Zhiyong finished talking about the matter and came out, An Xiyan was still in the practice room. She asked Zheng Zhiyong to speak directly, while she put on her earphones and typed a reply: "Don't be too specific."

Gossip or voyeurism is one of the common characteristics of human beings, and artists who live in the spotlight are born to be gossiped by fans and spectators. After so many years, fans have already summed up various signs that "my idol is in love". Symptoms, the most conclusive one is "buying a car", but the first step is "the ideal type becomes concrete".

"If it's not specific, it will be special."

An Xiyan thought of the "Dodder Flower" that Zheng Zhiyong sent her a few hours ago, and couldn't help but feel a little curious: "Have you thought about how to say it?"

"She has something she wants to do and has the patience and determination to make it happen."

"Still very special, but not specific." If Zico, Zheng Zhiyong's friend of the same year, described his ideal type from the perspective of "sex", what Zheng Zhiyong values ​​is spiritual appreciation and resonance. , An Xiyan is not special, even in the category of "female", she is not special.A typical example is the underground rapper who collaborated with Zheng Zhiyong on "Poison Gas" in "Duet Singing Ballad Festival". Although Zheng Zhiyong didn't say it clearly in the show, it is not difficult to find the meaning of appreciation in his words.

This is very good. It is not easy for people to meet a suitable love partner or even a partner. For Zheng Zhiyong, the difficulty may be a little higher, but that is only the difference between one thousandth and one ten thousandth, Zheng Zhiyong Zhiyong doesn't want to take on the responsibilities of a lover or even a partner at this time, why does An Xiyan want to be the "only" from the beginning?

"Then I'm relieved," Zheng Zhiyong said softly, "ah, that...the cram school is about to start, and there are many young and handsome boys. Do you want Hani who shines in "I'm Going to School" to be a teaching assistant? ?”

Hearing Zheng Zhiyong's voice in the earphones, An Xiyan hung a row of black lines in front of her forehead, bowed her head and typed:

"Don't even think about it."

"There are also good-looking young ladies...but I don't know them well."

An Xiyan: She thinks Zheng Zhiyong's provocative way is a bit strange, sincerely.

"Okay, let's get down to business." Zheng Zhiyong put away his joking tone just now, "The playing of "lie" is over, do you have more free time? If you are not so busy, I would like you to take a look at me rehearsal".
