Thinker in the entertainment industry

Chapter 384 384. Review

Zheng Zhiyong can understand An Xiyan's complicated mood and awkward position when facing her teammates. Exid is a combination that has shared joys and sorrows, and they have a very good relationship with each other, but no matter how good the relationship is, they are currently colleagues, with deep interest entanglements, and many things have become troublesome.

Exid's retrograde was due to An Xiyan's pen-hold shooting and subsequent outstanding performance in variety shows, followed by Xu Suzhi's follow-up, propping up the popularity of the entire group.It was also the case of An Xiyan being caught in a relationship when the foundation was not stable, which had a very bad negative impact on the development of the group - the company's small operation space is too small, and the performance is tied to the individual members of the girl group , there is not much room for error.

If An Xiyan was a self-centered person, she might be able to hold on to the idea of ​​"how could the group become popular if it wasn't for me", and feel at ease, or feel that she is already careful enough and doesn't need to take on anything, but An Xiyan is not like that She tried her best to be careful while worrying about the disapproval of her teammates.

Zheng Zhiyong has nothing to do about this, too close a relationship of interests will create obstacles, and overcoming such obstacles is not an easy task.Ordinary friends are sticky if they want to be sticky, and argue when they need to. They don't have so many scruples. With the label of "teammate", it is true that we can share joys and sorrows, but we all prosper and lose together. There are many things that cannot be said calmly.

He was the one who took the initiative to chase An Xiyan, and there is no reason for An Xiyan to bear the troubles that followed. Although Zheng Zhiyong didn't know how to solve the problem, it was still possible to gain goodwill in front of An Xiyan's teammates of.

Not to mention this, Xu Suzhi became popular only two years ago when he suffered from such a disease that made him unable to appear on the screen for a long time. Zheng Zhiyong's sympathy was not a love of the house and a hypocrisy.

Lucky people are always alike, and unlucky people each have their own misfortune, unlucky in the golden period of career is more unlucky than unlucky at the beginning...

Zheng Zhiyong has deep empathy for this.

"I don't have any terminal illness." Hyperthyroidism is not a terminal illness, and Xu Suzhi's complexion looks fine, but her protruding eyeballs and strange voice reflect her difficult situation, "Thank you for coming."

Xu Suzhi doesn't want to be in public places where people come and go, and she doesn't live in exid's dormitory. Fortunately, An Xiyan helped her and Zheng Zhiyong came to the door directly and entered the room.

"I actually have an idea... I don't know if it is suitable or not." Zheng Zhiyong said.

Zheng Zhiyong and Xu Suzhi were sitting on the sofa in the living room. He picked a time when Xu Suzhi's family members were not around. As soon as he said this, An Xiyan also retreated silently.

"She can hear it." Zheng Zhiyong watched An Xiyan close the bathroom door, and murmured.

Xu Suzhi looked at her dumbfoundedly: "Speak directly, and call her out when you're done."

Zheng Zhiyong: "Sister Suzhi, do you have any plans for the future?"

"It's very sudden, I haven't thought about it yet." Xu Suzhi vaguely guessed Zheng Zhiyong's meaning, and followed his words, "My disease has little effect on daily life, but it is used for treatment. It takes too long, which is annoying."

An Xiyan has already told Zheng Zhiyong what Xu Suzhi's illness is, and Xu Suzhi has no need to hide anything from Zheng Zhiyong.

"I'm not an expert in this area," Zheng Zhiyong said, "Does this disease affect the voice much?"

"I'm not that unlucky yet," Xu Suizhi laughed at himself, "It's just the beginning of the treatment, and I have a fever, my speech is not quite right, and my vocal cords haven't been damaged yet."

Zheng Zhiyong paused for a moment, with a bit of embarrassment on his face: "I have something I want to ask Sister Suzhi for help."

"Tell me, do we still need you to be so polite?" Xu Suzhi said.

Even if the relationship between her and Zheng Zhiyong can't be described as "intimate", the fate of two years is not something to talk about casually.If they were mutually beneficial at the beginning, now that exid can't help Zheng Zhiyong, Xu Suzhi naturally wouldn't take Zheng Zhiyong's kindness as a genuine request for help.

"Didn't I take over a subsidiary of CJ? The trainees in it are going to "produce101". If it's convenient for Sister Suzhi, I would like to ask you to check their vocal level."

"You came up with it on the spur of the moment when you found out about my illness." Xu Suzhi said sharply.

"Don't expose..." Zheng Zhiyong said with a bitter smile, "My original idea was to terminate the contract directly. Although I know that going to 101 may be the last chance for them, but mmo's previous training is too bad. Going to 101 is probably the opposite It’s typical, and recruiting people for this matter doesn’t take long, it’s too troublesome.”

"It's not so difficult to find a temporary job." Xu Suzhi is very clear about the high turnover of people in the entertainment industry, "But I have no reason to refuse the job that comes to my door. bad".

"You can come out, An Xiyan." Zheng Zhiyong raised his voice and shouted.

"I'm curling my bangs, you guys talk first."

Zheng Zhiyong: ...

"Didn't you notice that she took the makeup bag away?" Xu Suzhi pointed to the bag that An Xiyan brought on the sofa. It was open, and there was a lot of empty space inside. "Come to me to make it." The skin is taken care of, it's ok."

In this way, 2017 ushered in its beginning in a harmonious atmosphere.

After Xu Suzhi agreed, Zheng Zhiyong fine-tuned his plan again, and decided to relax a little bit when reviewing the five trainees of mmo. His original plan was not to keep any of them if they failed. Now his standard has changed. Decided to keep the two slightly better ones anyway.

With more resources, he also has more space to operate his selfishness.

After Zheng Zhiyong finished his psychological construction, he checked the performances of the five trainees with the mmo people.

The stage they prepared was got7's "hardcarry".

Zheng Zhiyong felt very embarrassed at first, he only posted a "affectionate confession" at mama a month ago, because of Park Jae-bum's disagreement with jyp, Zheng Zhiyong and jyp have never had any intersection, the trainees performed " hardcarry》…

No, no, don't think too much, he corrected his thoughts.How can someone cover the stage of a boy group and bypass JYP, one of the top three, such an idea should not exist.The most important thing is to be suitable, yg doesn't pay attention to choreography, either singing skills or aura, but it can't reflect the dance ability. The choreography of large men's groups like exo and seventeen is complicated, and they need to move too much. Btob doesn't Famous for its dance music, vixx focuses on the overall storyline and is not conducive to showing off skills. Teentop requires a light body, and the dance is not widely applicable. There are always choices...cover stages, but there are many things to consider in order to do well.

The mmo trainees seem to have considered it, but unfortunately the result is still unsatisfactory.

Zheng Zhiyong thinks that such a stage may have two kinds of treatment in 101, first, it is edited, and second, it is edited by the devil.

Neither treatment is very good.

Zheng Zhiyong doesn't lose his temper very much, and there's nothing to be angry about. It's not like he doesn't know what mmo is like. If he has too high hopes for the trainees, he is mentally handicapped.

"Can I do a solo performance?" Zheng Zhiyong thought for a while and said, "Show me both singing and dancing. I want to know your specific level."

He knew that his proposal was sudden, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. As an artist, he had to deal with all kinds of emergencies. This kind of sudden assessment was nothing at all. It couldn't even compare to the intensity of the show. The oldest of the five trainees is older than Zheng Zhiyong, and the youngest is an adult, so they should be able to cope with such a situation.

"Who's going first?" he asked.

Yin Zhisheng looked back at the others. The atmosphere among these young trainees was not really positive, but it wasn't too sad either.Zheng Zhiyong thinks the most accurate description should be - "Anyway, our chances are running out, let's try it if we have the chance."

The youngest trainee named Jiang Daniel raised his hand first: "Let me do it."

Very foreign name, very Busan accent, very good breaking.

Breaking is not the dance that Zheng Zhiyong majored in back then, but Jay Park is a very good bboy. Zheng Zhiyong also has a certain degree of research and appreciation for this. He can tell that this person has a good standard as a bboy and dances alone It looks much better than when we danced together just now.

"Have you ever learned modern dance?" Zheng Zhiyong said while making records in the notebook in front of him, "Can you show it now?"

"Ah."

……

"The position in charge is rap?"

"Yes, vocal also wants to learn, but it's not very good."

"Show me."

……

Zheng Zhiyong didn’t just talk so much when it was Jiang Daniel’s turn, he let every trainee show dance, rap and sing with a business-like and flat attitude. , He still needs to see if there is any possibility of salvaging the vocal music.After the five people asked questions one by one, Zheng Zhiyong made several pages of records.

"I probably know." Zheng Zhiyong stood up from his seat and bowed forward, "Thank you for your hard work."

Then Zheng Zhiyong sat back again and said, "You have a lot to learn."

He didn't immediately make a decision, but expressed what he wanted to say in a euphemistic way:

You can go to "produce101", you need to learn some things, other things have not been decided yet, don't worry.

——He still needs to talk to Sun Dongxun.

The performances of the five trainees did not bring surprises to Zheng Zhiyong, but it is not particularly bad - if you go to "produce101", you should not be ridiculed to the point of "who did thinker send to the show?" .

That's enough, Zheng Zhiyong still doesn't have the idea of ​​cultivating them, but it's not difficult to give them away, the quota for the second season of "produce101" is very ample.

After talking with Sun Dongxun, Zheng Zhiyong went to meet the trainees again and talked about the company's or his own decision. "I invited Xu Suzhi from exid for vocal music, and if you have any questions about rap, just ask me. Forget about dancing, this is not a good surprise." They are all in their twenties, and they are not beginners. The dance level can be improved through teaching The possibility is slim, "Don't mention this on the show, if there is... I'm still your boss".

He said in a joking tone.People who are active in front of the spotlight tend to be more shameless, but there are always exceptions. In a Shura field like "produce101", it is hard to say what people can do to stand out.Zheng Zhiyong is not familiar with these trainees, and he doesn't know their character or integrity, so he still has to remind them tactfully.

"Don't do too badly in the show, pd shouldn't be evil to edit you", the representative of mmo is the "son" of cj's music department, as a "brother", m will still sell some face, in reality It’s just that people don’t necessarily take care of their sibling’s children, but unless the family has turned their backs, and there are many choices of who can be dismantled, no one will stare at their nephew to dismantle the channel, “After the show is over, you can go to Where you want to go."

Zheng Zhiyong's thoughts on not promoting newcomers, especially idol groups, have not changed.

"Of course, if someone behaves very, very well, to the point where my boss will ask questions, the previous words will not count." Zheng Zhiyong said with a smile, "I hope you can let me break my promise once."
