Thinker in the entertainment industry

The practice room fell into silence.

What Zheng Zhiyong can think of, of course Long Junheng can also think of it.Zhang Xiansheng contacted Rado and said well, but he and Zheng Zhiyong came behind the scenes all of a sudden, and the bunch of explanations that Long Junheng had prepared all became pale excuses for a while.

But he couldn't stop talking, because if he stood in Zheng Zhiyong's position, the effect of saying it would be greatly reduced. "Hyun Seung, I'm sorry," Long Junhyung cleared his throat, and said, "Well, you can read Jiyong's works first, if it doesn't work, let's go to the company to clarify."

"I'll tell you," Zheng Zhiyong said, "I can't control it due to lack of experience. It's normal for me."

"You think it's because I'm dissatisfied that they didn't think of it?" Zhang Xiansheng smiled wryly, then lowered his head again, "Forget it, I'll go to Brother Rado to explain."

what?

Both Long Junheng and Zheng Zhiyong were stunned, and they couldn't recover for a long time because of Zhang Xiansheng's turning point.Compared with Long Junheng's simple bewilderment, Zheng Zhiyong had an extra level of thinking: No wonder everyone said that it was difficult to understand what Zhang Xiansheng was thinking, what happened in the middle!

"What happen to you guys?"

What's worse, Zhang Xiansheng didn't know that his performance was very confusing, on the contrary, he was puzzled by the other party's surprise.

"You just..." Give up?

Zhang Xiansheng gave Long Junheng a strange look: "You want me to talk to the company?"

Long Junheng shook his head violently.Zhang Xiansheng's expressive ability has always been negative. Sometimes what can be said nicely can make people awkward. It is even more difficult to predict what will come out of his mouth when there is a disagreement.Unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want Zhang Xiansheng to argue with others.Fortunately, there are members in beast who are good at communication, and Zhang Xiansheng is also self-aware of this, try not to speak if he can, and say something that is irrelevant.

"Then what else can I do, it's all like this", it turns out that Zhang Xiansheng accepted the status quo, and he has calmed down are two different things, "When I come back, tell me how to make the album", Zhang Xiansheng stood up and said to Zheng Zhiyong .

"Aren't you going to take a look at what I prepared first?" Facing Zhang Xiansheng's unrelenting gaze, Zheng Zhiyong said bravely, "If you are not satisfied..."

"I'm not saying you're not good enough. I've heard "myway ornoway", "Tears", and "you don't know" you wrote for mq." Zhang Xiansheng stopped and thought for a while when he said this, "Try not to give me too much attention." More lyrical songs, I can't sing lyrical songs."

You don't think I'm not good enough?real?Why can't I hear the meaning from what you said earlier?Are you kidding me?

Zheng Zhiyong found out that his guess about Zhang Xiansheng was wrong by a thousand miles, and his heart almost collapsed

A company that doesn't care, a partner with advanced language cancer, and an unhappy beginning. The production work that Zheng Zhiyong took over unexpectedly is full of cheating feelings no matter how you look at it.

In the studio, Zheng Zhiyong sighed deeply.

"I really don't need to be there then?" Long Junheng asked.Like Zheng Zhiyong, he also felt that this was quite a trick. Zheng Zhiyong encountered such a beginning when he was a producer for the first time, and Zhang Xiansheng was even worse. The butterfly wings were blown away.With Zhang Xiansheng and Zheng Zhiyong communicating together, even though Long Junheng has great confidence in Zheng Zhiyong's temper, he still feels a little uneasy.

"No need", this is Yong Junhyung's studio, but Yong Junhyung is not suitable to stay in it now, "Liang and Xianshengxi are two different opinions, if there is a conflict, the two of them can persuade each other, plus brother becomes three, There will be a lot of trouble," Zheng Zhiyong said with a smile.

Zheng Zhiyong and Zhang Xiansheng are not familiar with each other at all, if the conflict of opinion is very fierce, there is nothing to worry about.Yong Junhyung is different, he and Zhang Xiansheng are teammates, and the relationship with Zheng Zhiyong is considered close, it will be very awkward to be caught in the middle.It is not good to say this directly to Long Junheng, Zheng Zhiyong can only put it another way.

"Then... contact me if you have any questions." Long Junheng said.

When Zhang Xiansheng saw that Zheng Zhiyong was the only one in the studio, he was also a little surprised: "You're the only one, isn't Junheng here?"

"I think it's better for me to talk to you about the album first, as Joon Hyung can't participate in the whole process of production."

"That's right." Zhang Xiansheng tore off the hat of the gray sweater on his body, stroked his brown hair back with his hands, found a seat on the sofa, sat down and said, "It's best for him not to participate in this, solo activities. You have to make something different from the group you are in, and you will be working together for a month soon, so you don’t have to say honorifics to me, the way you talk to Yong Junhyung is the same to me.”

"...Yes." Zheng Zhiyong was caught off guard by Zhang Xiansheng's words again, so his reaction was delayed by half a beat.This person's brain circuit... really cannot be deduced with common sense.

On the contrary, Zhang Xiansheng stared at Zheng Zhiyong for a while, and added a few words: "It is also good to work with you. You are younger than me, so you can talk easily. If the producer is older than me and not close, I will give my opinion. , it’s very restrictive.”

so?

At this time, Zheng Zhiyong felt that he had some clues, and tentatively said: "Xiansheng xi... Brother Xiansheng can of course speak up if you have an opinion. After all, this is your solo album, but some of my thoughts on the song are probably not It's easy to change."

"Musician's persistence, I know, let's talk about it when the time comes."

Zhang Xiansheng's reaction to this was very flat, his eyes were loose, as if he was thinking about something.Zheng Zhiyong didn't open his mouth either, Zhang Xiansheng was unlikely to be distracted during the conversation, he probably had something to say like this.

Facts have proved that Zheng Zhiyong's guess is not wrong. After a short silence, Zhang Xiansheng said again: "What happened before... My words may have been a little fierce. I'm sorry if I offended you. I'm just angry that you didn't tell me. I just went to find the company, there is no other meaning. You know what the solo is like this time, and there are no high requirements for performance, and I don’t expect it.”

When Zhang Xiansheng said this, the topic suddenly changed again: "But, don't be perfunctory with me about the song."

"Look at the song first." Zheng Zhiyong took out the creative tablet he carried with him and said calmly.

Zheng Zhiyong and Zhang Xiansheng said that they have been colleagues in Cube for more than a year and almost two years, but they are really not familiar with each other.He only regards Cube as a workplace where he earns a living. He has feelings, but he has always been polite but not affectionate. It means that Yong Junheng and Yoon Doojoon have fallen in love with his creative ability, so they gradually approached him. Even if there is an intersection at work, Zheng Zhiyong also gets along with the trainees a little more. Zhang Xiansheng's beast has been active in Japan for a long time when Zheng Zhiyong joined the job, and has no plans to enter China. A foreign language teacher like Zheng Zhiyong is right Their usefulness is really limited.So Zheng Zhiyong started to formally deal with Zhang Xiansheng when they worked together in this solo event, and this meeting is the second time.

But these two conversations are enough to leave a deep impression on Zheng Zhiyong: reasonable but not very good at controlling temper, not much malicious but the words spoken are either boring or not pleasant.It is enough to explain most of Zheng Zhiyong's words and deeds that made Zheng Zhiyong stunned at the time - except Zhang Xiansheng's initial emphasis on solo, and then gave up fighting for it.

Even if Zhang Xiansheng knows that this comeback is purely to make himself addicted, he doesn’t have much hope for the results, Rado may not be much better than Zheng Zhiyong as a producer, the solo activities he won only after six years of debut, and he is doing it with his close brother Isn't it better?Zhang Xiansheng is famous for his brains, why did he give up so easily this time?

Well, Zheng Zhiyong added one more item to his impression of Zhang Xiansheng: It's hard to guess.

He hoped that there was something wrong to tell an outsider like himself.

This kind of personality is not difficult for Zheng Zhiyong, whether it is whole tofu or knife-mouthed tofu heart, as long as he knows that there is tofu in it, the problem will not be a big problem.

"I said I'm not good at singing ballads, and I don't really want to sing ballads. Isn't the title song you made a bit sad?"

Well, meeting someone who disagrees with you and has a stubborn personality can be a bit of a hassle.

"I don't think it's a sad song. Is it okay to look at it again with the melody and arrangement?"

As for Zheng Zhiyong, other times are fine, but when it comes to music creation, he is also very stubborn.

"What does the song look like in your words."

"Passionate and thick, the feeling between a boy and a man, the passion of the former, the thickness of the latter." Zheng Zhiyong said while looking down at the table, avoiding staring at Zhang Xiansheng.

"First Love of the Twenty Generations" was used by Zheng Zhiyong to write about his feelings. It feels a little shameful to say the descriptive words that will be used for publicity in the future.

Zhang Xiansheng didn't notice anything wrong with Zheng Zhiyong: "Where's the rhythm?"

"It's relatively strong, it doesn't use electronic sounds, but it's not that kind of ballad."

"How strong can you dance?"

Zheng Zhiyong paused: "Dancing...is not very demanding."

Trouble! The style of the song "First Love of the Twenties" is not good for dancing!Zhang Xiansheng has never been the kind of person who stands still on the stage.

For the other songs, Zhang Xiansheng has read the lyrics and listened to the music one by one, but he doesn't have any major opinions.According to his words, he is not a full-time creator, he sings the song if he thinks it is good, there are professional creators who can do it, and he doesn't need to mix it up. It would be very troublesome, especially in the case of expressing opinions on his own solo album-if it is a group album or a company's plan, it would be fine, he would just listen to the arrangement above.

In the end, among the five songs carefully selected by Zheng Zhiyong, the only one stuck was "The First Love of the Twenty Generations" which was going to be the main title.

Zhang Xiansheng's point of view: The second main focus is lyricism, and it is estimated that during the promotional period, it can only be sung on the radio.But I like dancing more than singing, you want me to make two symbolic gestures for the title song?

Zheng Zhiyong's point of view: Your voice is suitable for such lyrical dance music. It is not for you to stand up and sing, and you have a delicate face with delicate features. There is an upper limit to your crazy, cool and aggressive aura. The song didn't work well.

This is probably what the two of them thought in their minds, and they should be more tactful when they really say it.However, the two have been holding their own opinions and refusing to give in to each other, and the atmosphere became more and more tense in the end.In the end, Zhang Xiansheng first proposed to terminate: "Forget it, we can't convince anyone now, let's think about it again when we go back. thinker, "Street Light" will be the second main title, and the other three songs will be included. Do you have any objections to this? The title song is to be determined first. .”

"No", Zheng Zhiyong said, "Should we record first or decide on the title first?"

"Let's record first. The title song will affect the promotional photos, styling, and MV. If the rest can be done first, it's better to do it first."

Zhang Xiansheng's eyes were fixed on one point, although he usually had an expressionless look, there was a shallow line between his brows unconsciously.

Just when Zheng Zhiyong was about to nod his head and agree, Zhang Xiansheng suddenly changed his words again: "No...let's wait, let me familiarize myself with these songs first, and explain clearly how to sing."

No matter how it sounds like an excuse, Zheng Zhiyong knew that he could not get any results from asking: "Okay."

Not every problem has to be clarified. With this effort, he should think about what to do with the main thing.

Zheng Zhiyong used to be a very decisive character, but later he experienced a series of mistakes, which forced him to develop procrastination in self-doubt.Even if Zheng Zhiyong realizes this and understands that it is bad, it is still more difficult than reaching the sky to make him make up his mind to do something.

Fortunately, when the responsibility has already fallen on his shoulders, Zheng Zhiyong will not lie on his stomach and pretend to be dead. On the contrary, he is still quite vigorous and resolute.

"You guys have a good talk?"

After Zheng Zhiyong nodded, Long Junheng obviously breathed a sigh of relief: "It may be a little hard to deal with him for the first time, but Xiansheng is not very good at talking, and he is a little stubborn, so he won't treat you like that."

"I know," Zheng Zhiyong said, "but, bro, in that case, how did you get to know each other?"

"At that time", Long Junheng and Zhang Xiansheng had known each other for six years, and the beginning was really far away for Long Junheng. Leaving his mouth open, Long Junheng smiled guiltily, "Three years ago, Hyun Seung was depressed for a long time because of his father's death. At that time, his thoughts began to feel more and more different from ours, and he didn't explain".

The little friends who used to be able to play together gradually became speechless, and it was a bit embarrassing to say this kind of thing.

Due to different personal experiences, there is gradually a gap in thinking, feelings, and inability to speak. Zheng Zhiyong can understand such things-he has already talked to Li Taemin and exchanged contact information, but he has not contacted him again. The reason is It's not just a guilty conscience.However, understanding is understanding, he still has something to ask: "Then, do you know what brother Xian Sheng thinks this time?"

"what?"

"Why don't you replace me. Even if he has heard my works and believes in my ability, but I think from his standpoint, I still think Rado should be chosen."

"Is the answer to this question very important?" Long Junheng frowned, looking a bit embarrassed.
