Thinker in the entertainment industry

"Are you feeling a little uncomfortable in the big waiting room?"

How did he see it?

The mask covered the astonishment on Zheng Zhiyong's face, and all he could see was his slightly parted lips: "A little, it feels a little... cold."

"I thought we had a good chat, you and them could have a chance." Zhang Xiansheng joked, in terms of his reticence, he was much stronger than the big group.

"Brother is just talking less, and this is the lethality." Zheng Zhiyong raised his right hand and put the fingertips of his thumb and index finger together.

Zhang Xiansheng was so angry, if it wasn't for his lack of physical strength, he would have wanted to beat Zheng Zhiyong up: "You... wait, Li Shengxian is not cold, he said before that he wanted to know you, why, can't we talk? "

Zheng Zhiyong's expression suddenly became a little subtle, and the two eyeballs exposed in the middle of the mask turned left and right, and then stayed in their original place again: "He...has other things."

"Huh?" Zhang Xiansheng issued a puzzled syllable from his throat.

"Secret?"

"Oh." Zhang Xiansheng's expression can be abbreviated as "Do you think I'm a broken-mouthed person?".

Zheng Zhiyong decided to trust Zhang Xiansheng, he lowered his voice again: "Did he drink and drive in the car accident last year?"

Zhang Xiansheng rolled his eyes, and finally remembered that what Zheng Zhiyong said was the big victory. Li Shengxian's car crash a year ago, because that night, Shengli participated in an event with a party, and the injured person in another car said Shengli He smelled of alcohol, and many people on the Internet suspected that he was drunk and driving on the day of Victory, and the police's refutation of the rumors did not have much effect, but YG has always firmly denied it, and no one mentioned it again after a long time.

"I don't know." Zhang Xiansheng had obvious doubts in his eyes, but it didn't overflow his face. "Why are you asking this?"

"Secret."

Zhang Xiansheng didn't care about being pushed back lightly by Zheng Zhiyong, his curiosity was never on other people's private affairs: "Is it okay to be on stage?"

"Of course not." Zheng Zhiyong moved his muscles lightly and said with emotion, "Ah, it's the last time. I don't know when I can come back."

Since it was a farewell stage, the support from fans was stronger than before.Zhang Xiansheng's mood was obviously higher, and he actually raised his pitch twice when harmonizing with Zheng Zhiyong. Fortunately, it was not sudden. His voice and tone followed Zhang Xiansheng.

"...If falling in love may fail or cause harm, I would rather exist forever in the form of friends."

Different from the trembling in depression in the past, after tightening the throat and raising the pitch, the sense of restraint is also weakened, and the persistence and madness are strengthened.

And in the latter part, Zhang Xiansheng sang it alone, but Zheng Zhiyong, who was also emotionally brought up, suddenly wanted to cause Zhang Xiansheng some trouble-why do you play impromptu by yourself.

"Don't separate, won't separate."

Zheng Zhiyong started to sing, but Zhang Xiansheng was as calm as if nothing had happened, he sang as he wanted, and many audiences in the audience and later in front of the TV were taken aback, but before they called out, With a sound, Zheng Zhiyong turned around and slipped behind the supporting dancers, leaving them with the familiar formula in the back.

...Hey, hey, the benefit of the farewell stage is that thinker sings a few more lines, I thought you were going to take off your mask!

The audience was very resentful.

After stepping down, Zhang Xiansheng also felt a little regretful: "I thought you would sing a few more lines, but in the end you only sang a little bit. Is it because you are worried about moving?"

"There is a reason." Zheng Zhiyong said weakly.

"Anything else?" It's more important that people can hear the subtext than this.

The truth is: Zheng Zhiyong was not mentally prepared to play freely on the farewell stage at all. At that time, he sang it with his mind thinking that the requirements for the farewell stage would not be very strict, but there was a high note at the end of the following sentence, Zheng Zhi Yong started to beat the drums in his heart again.

He can sing that pitch, but he is not prepared for it. What if... what if he fails?

So he cowardly slipped away.

Now when Zhang Xiansheng asked, Zheng Zhiyong suddenly felt a little unlovable: "I'm not very used to expressing freely on stage, so many people watch, I always feel that I need to control myself."

"You have to enjoy the stage, you are a bit too restrained", Zhang Xiansheng said, "Of course, don't be like me, I am too free."

"Yes, you scare me a little when you raise your tone, brother", Zheng Zhiyong actually complained a little about this, "I don't have that much experience on the big stage".

The smile that opened on the corner of Zhang Xiansheng's mouth was put away after hearing Zheng Zhiyong's words. "I'm sorry," he said, "I used to be in the group like this...how about I treat you tonight?"

For language cancer patients, making amends is a bit troublesome.However, he also made a surprise attack later, and Zheng Zhiyong was too lazy to delve into Zhang Xiansheng's impromptu performance. Of course, Zhang Xiansheng's attitude was still very good: "No, tomorrow's game, Brother Xiansheng, you should rest early, not right away." Are you going to Japan?" Zhang Xiansheng still squeezed out the promotional period of less than two weeks, other members of beast are busy with their schedule in Japan, Zhang Xiansheng will fly to Japan to join his teammates immediately after finishing his solo activities.

"Yes, it's Japan again..." Zhang Xiansheng turned his head and glanced at the popular music studio behind him, "My solo is short, and I must come a few more times when the summer group returns."

"Very troublesome?" Why did he hear some gnashing of teeth?

"What do you say?"

I almost forgot that Zhang Xiansheng was particularly resentful towards Cube's planning ability.

Having just successfully finished the solo, it shouldn't be such a frustrating thing, Zheng Zhiyong immediately changed the subject: "Is it still reluctant, brother Xiansheng?"

"Yeah, I'm already 27 years old", when Zhang Xiansheng said this, the light in his eyes has not faded, "Whatever you want to do, do it quickly, Zheng Zhiyong".

"Is this what it means for me to pass more levels of "Show Methemoney"?"

Zhang Xiansheng turned his head back: "You think too much."

This is Zhang Xiansheng's first solo, and also Zheng Zhiyong's first time as an album producer and as a rapper on the big stage. All the things they have experienced in the past two weeks are worth recalling and commemorating for them.

But now they don't have much time to digest all this. Zhang Xiansheng will rush to Japan non-stop to join other members of beast. As for Zheng Zhiyong, he will go to the next day, the morning of May 5th. It's the second audition to record "showmethemoney".

The second round of audition is also called "individual review". Its rule is that the contestants who have passed the first round of audition and won the gold chain will perform in the center of the stage for 1 minute, and each of the four groups of producers will have a "fail" button , if the four "fail" buttons are all pressed, the stage under the player's feet will drop, and the player will be eliminated on the spot, and vice versa.The program group requires this link to have an elimination rate of about 50.00%. When to press "fail" is also a science for producers.

After the first round of screening, a total of 109 rappers were eligible to participate in the second round.Each person has a 1-minute performance time limit. It seems that the recording time will not exceed one day and one night like the first round, but because the producers and contestants have to do a lot of pre-event and post-event interviews, the total is quite considerable.

Zheng Zhiyong, who was called for an interview at the beginning of the recording and saw the long list of questions in the pd's hands, has a deep understanding of this.

"Don't I have to answer, right?" Before the camera was turned on, he couldn't help asking pd.

PD ruthlessly shattered his fantasy: "We feel that we can ask you a lot of questions, and we will watch the editing after the recording."

"Edit?" Zheng Zhiyong's expression was a little stiff.Who doesn't know that the demonic cuts of "showmethemoney" are famous.Originally, hip-hop was bound to tear up all kinds of diss, and the program group added oil and vinegar, so let's not mention the chaos when it was broadcast.Zheng Zhiyong, who thought that there was nothing wrong with his previous performance, is now a little worried.

——What did they cut my audition into?

Of course pd also knows the virtues of his own program, he just smiled to Zheng Zhiyong's reaction: "Let's get started."

Zheng Zhiyong could only pull himself together and nodded: "Okay."

To use a talent show to determine your impression in the eyes of the public, it is easy and easy to say, but also difficult to say.

Take the fourth season of "Superstark" in which Kim Sang-woo participated as an example. Kim Sang-woo has a good background, a high degree of education, and a well-mannered performance. Jiyou, Zheng Junying, became a bohemian "crazy boy" in the eyes of the people - but apart from "mother" and "crazy boy", it was difficult to find other words to describe these two people at the time, and the audience was not a fan If one image is too impressive, other images will fade infinitely.Zheng Junying was okay, he participated in many programs later, "crazy boy" eventually became "righteous crazy boy".Kim Sang-woo, who had little time to engage in variety shows and could only sing because he had to go to school for activities, had no choice but to be a "mom friend" all the time.

Zheng Zhiyong wants to create a contradictory image of himself as "polite but rebellious, gentle but sharp". It may not be enough to just rely on rap words. What he said in the interview is also very important.

"Can you tell me how you got into hip-hop?"

For Zheng Zhiyong, the most famous identity is the creator of songs such as "Twenty Generations of First Love". The identity of "underground amateur rapper" is unfamiliar to people who are not hip-hop fans. , plus a teacher status that would be very inconsistent with hip-hop, why Zheng Zhiyong has multiple roles is a very curious thing.Besides, other well-known contestants' relationship with each other and the producer has been revealed on the Internet. Although Zheng Zhiyong is somewhat famous, he is too mysterious.Although there are many people who know that Zheng Zhiyong is messing with aomg, not many people know what's going on. In order to avoid messy rumors at that time, Zheng Zhiyong also wants to explain.

"I used to be very familiar with Jae Bum. In 2010, he started to get into hip-hop and music creation. Later, I taught foreign languages ​​at Cube, and I met Yong Junhyung from beast. With the help of Junhyung, I started to publish. popsong."

"Is it all about hip-hop?"

"No, relatively speaking, I like pop a little more, but I was not very confident in my own works before. After I got to Cube, I learned a little more, and then I started to try to publish."

Um? PD's eyes lit up, and there was a burst!

But when he saw Zheng Zhiyong's eyes that said "I know you want to edit here", he couldn't help but then asked a little guilty: "Is this because thinkerxi's published songs are more mainstream?"

"The singers are mainstream singers. Of course, they have to use mainstream songs. When I come to "showmethemoney", I have to perform hip-hop."

"Then what style will thinkerxi make in the future?"

"I can't say which one I like to do."

Zheng Zhiyong still smiled and said in a gentle and polite tone.

PD was once again speechless, he didn't find any problems with his words and demeanor, but he just conveyed a feeling of "I'm just too lazy to turn my face, do you want to argue with me, but you have to bear the consequences", you are strong.

This is my purpose.

If Zheng Zhiyong knew what pd was in his head, he would definitely be like this...in his heart.
