Thinker in the entertainment industry

Chapter 368 368. Team

"I might go a little faster."

The weather in France just started in the second half of October. Now that Zheng Zhiyong's stabbing has finally come to fruition, even if it is not appropriate for him to make a high-profile immediately, there is no need to sneak around like he is hiding from debts.In the evening, Zheng Zhiyong will stay at home with his equipment for making candles or writing songs. During the day, he and Zheng Junying will go out together, go around the store museum, and then order coffee and desserts to kill the afternoon.

Having said that, Jung Ji Yong didn't really relax, he was still thinking about things after returning to his country.

"What is your positioning for yourself, a...transfer station? The kind between an idol and a musician?"

"This is my ideal state. At the beginning, I can only do it step by step. "Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook" has done very well, but the talented group still needs a platform, and idol...idol needs a new outlet."

Jung Joon Young was amused by his words: "You think that's your mission?"

"Why don't you try it?" Zheng Zhiyong said frankly, "Idol has a meaning of existence".

"So you chose to be an idol in the first place."

"That's not true." Zheng Zhiyong shook his head and said, "I didn't think about it that much at first, but then I gradually understood why kpop can become the world's art while South Korea's national power has not yet reached the point of being crushed. What is the status of the visual level in the expression, and whether it can complement the music".

"What else have you thought about?" Zheng Junying asked with a smile.

"I've thought a lot about it, whether it's big companies monopolizing, or groups that debuted early occupying the market. After 2013, the only boy group that can be regarded as 'rising' is BTS, and the girl group is also difficult to stabilize. The concept has been traveled all over, and there is no novelty without substantial innovation?" Zheng Zhiyong also smiled brightly, "I think a lot, but I can do very little, and finally build a platform, which is essentially for myself to continue safely. Get creative."

Zheng Zhiyong's self-mockery made Zheng Junying feel uncomfortable: "What happened to you this time is not because other companies dislike you."

"I don't know if yg has such a purpose." Yg's secrecy work is not so good, and Zheng Zhiyong naturally has no need to help them hide it from his friends and another party. "I'm unlucky and Cube may Be sad, other companies will definitely be happy to see it happen."

The interest relationship in society is the most basic. Not to mention the company, Zheng Zhiyong's downfall, maybe the music big names who have no friendship with him will also gloat over his misfortune.

"You make yourself a platform," Jung Joon Young said.

"I think it's very funny when I think about it now. When Zai Fan established aomg in the past, I think he was not so good at operation itself. He used his fame more to expose others and have room for performance." Zheng Zhi Yong slowly stirred the coffee in the cup and said, "Isn't it the same in the end, bro, I'm also relying on my own fame."

If not rely on fame?work?Have you forgotten the g that says "the song is not complete after writing it"?The quality of Zheng Zhiyong's works is not low, but the influence of various objective factors cannot be ignored.

"Is your fame the best use?" Zheng Junying said, a big golden sign like "thinker" is undoubtedly much better than other methods that are time-consuming and labor-intensive and not necessarily flattering. "

"If possible, I would like to try to promote the idolrapper in the group. No matter how much "showmethemoney" likes devil editing, hip-hop would not be so popular without it. YG will not send topical contestants to participate in the third and fourth seasons. The participating rappers will not become famous so quickly, this season bewhy has won his belated glory, but I can see how much popularity a group of underground rappers can generate by playing on their own." After going on, "I haven't found any candidates, and there are really many people who can't sing well and talk about rap."

He can at most make up for the shortcomings in composition, rap is really not good, and Zheng Zhiyong can't help it.

"This is still an 'ideal', take your time," Zheng Junying comforted, "If you are more realistic, why don't you start with a well-known music singer? Oh, what do you think bro?"

"Your self-restraint period will be longer than mine, brother", Zheng Zhiyong pointed out this problem mercilessly, "I originally thought about taking advantage of the popularity of the show in the second season of "produce101", but this time it is not I'm planning to go, the sign of the show is 'National Producer', I don't want to be too tight for someone like me who makes trouble in front of the people every now and then." That being said, Zheng Zhiyong doesn't look regretful, "It's okay , the conflict of interest is too complicated, I may not be able to handle it.”

Zheng Zhiyong was swaying at the beginning, but finally gave up due to external forces, but he didn't think it was a pity.

"Is it difficult for you to make a decision?" Zheng Junying smelled it.

"Yes, this time too," Zheng Zhiyong said, his voice was quiet and beautiful, which was a natural movement, "I have made a decision to devote more energy and take on more responsibilities. It’s the same, I can only move forward, I can’t retreat, I don’t know what the result will be, and I don’t know if my investment is worth it.”

In the past, he became a handicapped out of enthusiasm for his idol debut. He sweated and endured hardships in the past four years and was deeply satisfied with the achievements, but in the end it all became a joke. This left a deep shadow on Zheng Zhiyong.

"But one road is about to be reached by me. If I don't open up a new road at the best time, it will only become more and more difficult in the future."

Zheng Zhiyong only procrastinates when he can. Although the situation is not urgent now, he should have made preparations earlier.

When the calendar turned to November, Zheng Zhiyong quietly returned to Korea.

"Is there any fun in France?" An Shuojun asked him.

"It's okay to rest, let's just play", Zheng Zhiyong said, "I heard that the mother and daughter have gone abroad, and I was nervous for a while."

"If you haven't been to France, don't worry about it." That is to say, since jtbc exposed the incident of the president's political interference, South Korea's political arena has not been in general turmoil. Shuojun didn't want to get involved in troubles anymore, he shrunk quietly like Zheng Zhiyong, "It's hard to say what will happen in Korea next, there is no need to wait for Park Jae-bum, you will go to the United States after filming the cram school Bar".

Zheng Zhiyong told Ahn Seok-joon about his plan with Park Jae-bum in France, and Ahn Seok-jun had no objection to it. In fact, cj's plan for artists is basically like that. Artists themselves are strong and know it well. A good player in pulling resources, artists are not good at planning for themselves, and cj can't come up with a good plan.For such a giant in the entertainment industry, who can be promoted from the beginning to become popular?Kim Min Jae?

Zheng Zhiyong followed Park Jae-beum's relationship to develop overseas. It doesn't need CJ to spend a lot of resources to get through the joints. There are benefits to success and no disadvantages to failure. An Shuojun would disagree if he is stupid.

"One more thing, about my future development in South Korea."

"Huh?" An Shuojun looked at him puzzled.

"I can't pin all my hopes overseas, the risk of throwing everything at one's finger is too great." So many top artists have fallen into the sand, Zheng Zhiyong will not be so conceited that he thinks that he will succeed, "In Korea, I need a team."

"Most of CJ's energy is on you." An Shuojun said this not to emphasize how good they are to Zheng Zhiyong.From the point of view of income alone, the top and bottom of the music business department will pay more attention to Zheng Zhiyong. The subsidiary company can't produce decent results, and life is not so chic.

"I want to do one thing, from planning to execution, the speed is still not fast enough," Zheng Zhiyong said without compromise, "It was possible in the past, but I want to do more in the future."

"what do you want."

"A team nominally assigned to me."

"Actually?"

"The company has the right of veto," Zheng Zhiyong said, "I also have the right to the company."

"The tone is quite loud." Even so, An Shuojun couldn't see how angry he was.Zheng Zhiyong's meaning is nothing more than that cj can stop when he feels that what he is doing is inappropriate. If cj asks Zheng Zhiyong to do something outrageous, Zheng Zhiyong will also refuse.If the artist and the company hate each other, this way of getting along will undoubtedly be a disaster, but Zheng Zhiyong and CJ have worked together for a year, and they have already understood each other's needs, and the 'veto' is not a fatal problem.

"The representative knows when I will use it." Zheng Zhiyong said calmly.

"You don't want to be like Jay Park, who started AOMG when he was in Sidushq." An Shuojun asked.

When Jay Park established aomg in 2013, the second contract between him and sidushq had not yet expired. Later, he participated in activities such as "叮咚咚咚味" and "dancing9", which were arranged by sidushq. The second time After the contract ended, Jay Park did not renew the contract and ended the cooperation with sidushq.Although the actor company Sidushq did not help Jay Park's career much, they did not restrict Jay Park's free development, and if they hadn't signed Park Jay Bum in 2010, jyp said "because they made a serious mistake. It will be even more difficult for Jay Park, who has terminated his contract and quit the group, to return to Korea and gain a firm foothold.Overall, it was a memorable collaboration.

But the point is, sidushq is an actor company, and managing singers is An Shuojun's main task.Although he is most used to digesting the people who come out of the M talent show, he still goes shopping around.

"I want to try some projects by myself, cooperate more with people, and have some contact with the underground." Zheng Zhiyong ignored An Shuojun's words and continued.

"I didn't expect you to develop so fast." An Shuojun didn't refute Zheng Zhiyong.

He understands why Zheng Zhiyong is obsessed with his personal team.Of course, Zheng Zhiyong's status in the company is not low, but in name he, like other employees, works for An Shuojun, so naturally he can't do anything to the staff.When Zheng Zhiyong comes up with a song and a concept, he must first confirm it with the company's planning department. Sometimes the planning department has to find a way to give Zheng Zhiyong some revisions for his own sense of existence. The specific operation after the finalization is of course It is not necessary for Zheng Zhiyong to do it himself, but if there is any problem, he has to discuss it in a friendly manner.In the past, what Zheng Zhiyong wanted was to stabilize his position and climb upwards. It is okay to take his time when producing, but now Zheng Zhiyong has determined that it is the thickest kind of sound source smog, and he is going to transform and bloom more. The mode efficiency is too low.

Zheng Zhiyong doesn't really want to be independent from cj, and he's not keen on the pleasure of being around and drinking, but just like the power of the supreme leader will expand during the war, having a team "□□" subordinate to himself compares with The cooperation of a group of colleagues who are not so close is more conducive to Zheng Zhiyong's quick and efficient realization of his plan.

"You don't plan to build your own company or label?"

"No plan." What Zheng Zhiyong wants is convenience in doing things, and maybe a little bit of experience. From now on, he has never thought about concentrating on growing a company or label.That's why he found An Shuojun's important person. Under him, he was responsible for his own profits and losses, and he would have a place to go if he didn't continue to do it.

"Then you're going to bleed a little," An Shuojun smiled, "I have a lot of scandalous subsidiaries, but the prices for takeout are definitely not cheap."
