After sending Huang Shimu away, Li Zheng sat back on the sofa, took out a pen and paper, made a table on the paper, and began to analyze the advantages and disadvantages he currently had.

Park Seung-deok had told him one sentence before - that is, one look, two luck, three connections, four talents, and five perseverance. said that if an artist wants to become popular in the entertainment industry, these five points must have at least one of them, and if he wants to become a world-renowned world superstar, then these five points are indispensable.

For Li Zheng, becoming a world superstar is too far away from him, and it is not an overnight thing, what he needs to care about now is how to take the current path.

Among the five points mentioned by Park Seung-deok, he thinks that he is not lacking in appearance, talent, and perseverance, and luck can also be said to be very lucky at present.

Soon after his debut, he was able to play the leading role in a TV series, and his experimental songs were widely spread throughout Southeast Asia because of SuperJunior, and although fans rarely paid special attention to the songwriter when listening to the songs, his popularity in Korea has also been greatly improved due to the promotion of iHQ and the cooperation of S.M.

From this point of view, among these five points, connections are precisely the weakest point of Li Zheng at present.

But the accumulation of contacts is a matter that takes time and status, and it cannot be achieved overnight.

To make friends and build a network, the most important thing is not the network itself, but whether you have enough strength. If you don't have enough strength, even if you know a lot of friends, it won't help much.

In the entertainment industry, the vitality of stars comes from fans.

has no strength, can't get the recognition of fans, no matter how many connections there are, no matter how thick the background is, it doesn't make any sense if the fans don't recognize it.

Making connections is a must, but socializing is very energy-consuming, but also time-consuming, before the strength is not enough, it is best not to immerse yourself in the network too much, improve the strength, is the king.

When you're strong enough, you're a network!

In the entertainment industry, different statuses, different popularity, and different connections.

Before their debut, trainees had a circle of trainees. After debuting, he became a newcomer, and newcomers have a circle of newcomers. Newcomers become famous after becoming popular, and there is a circle after becoming famous. After becoming famous, he became a first-line artist, and a first-line artist has a circle of first-line artists...... As your popularity and status increase, you will come into contact with different circles and make different connections.

But if the status is not enough, the trainees want to integrate into the circle of newcomers, and the newcomers want to integrate into the circle of first-line artists, they will be like Yunlongjing frogs, because they are too far away and have no topic, but they will bring humiliation and more than they gain.

Thinking of these, Li Zheng calculated the contacts he currently has, and found that in addition to the relatively prominent influence of Park Seung-deok of iHQ Company and Yu Yongzhen of S.M Company, other people, whether it is screenwriter Yoon Zhilian and screenwriter Su Hyun-jing in the film and television industry, or Liu Jae-seok, Jiang Hudong, Kim Jidong and others in the variety show circle, his relationship with them is only a preliminary friendship.

If your popularity and status are improved in the future, then the interaction between the two sides will naturally go without saying, but if your development is not smooth and you are not aware of the public, then it is foreseeable that the two sides will gradually drift apart.

The door is right, and Wangheng is right.

The friendship between the two parties can only be sustained if the popularity and status are close or equal.

If you think that you know each other, you are kind and approachable to each other, and you take it for granted that the other party values you, then it seems foolish.

People who have no potential, no value, cannot be respected anywhere.

Therefore, for these connections, I only need to maintain them at present, and I can't use them as my hard strength.

Then, if you want to expand your network, the most important thing you need to do at present is to quickly improve your status and popularity.

Judging from its current conditions, there are only two ways to quickly increase popularity and status, one is songwriting, and the other is acting strength.

In terms of acting, there is too much unpredictability.

There is still more than half a month before the premiere of the TV series, that is, after the broadcast, whether the audience likes the plot of the TV series, whether fans recognize their acting skills, and whether the screenwriter and director can continue to attract the audience in the creation of follow-up episodes, these are not things that I can grasp.

But on the contrary, when it comes to songs, I am relatively more sure.

Through the popularity of the song "Sorry, Sorry", I have a certain understanding of the current trend in the Korean music market, and I can better meet the preferences of fans next time I create or improve songs. But while adapting to the preferences of fans, it is also necessary to take into account the tastes of professionals in the music industry.

In any industry, the right to speak is very important. If you have the right to speak, you will have the right to speak.

If professionals in the music industry have always had a general or even negative evaluation of the songs they have created, then even if the songs they create sell well and become popular, they will not be recognized by the industry, which is not conducive to the improvement of their popularity and status.

Thinking of this, Li Zheng walked to the bedroom and took out a composition book from the compartment of the desk.

Flipping through the composition book, the composition book records all the songs that Li Zheng has written since he was a child and has written so far. Some of these songs have already been written, some are just a small melody recorded when they are inspired, some are songs that have been sold in the United States or South Korea after completion, and some are just songs that have been copyrighted but have not yet been sold......

Flipping through the composition book, looking at the completed scores, until he turned to a page with piano written on a note, Li Zheng's eyes stopped on it.

After pondering for a moment, Li Zheng took out the score alone.

…………

After March, the time came to April.

SuperJunior's third album title song "Sorry, Sorry" won the first number on KBS's "Music Bank" on March 27, and then won SBS's "Popular Songs" and Mnet's "M!Countdown" respectively.

On March 31, the final episode of "Boys Over Flowers", which has set off a ratings boom in South Korea in the past two months, also aired, and the audience was still concerned about the actors who played various roles in the play.

As the songwriter of the song "Sorry, Sorry", and starred in two episodes of "Boys Over Flowers", it can be said that the two hottest topics on Naver's search list in recent times are related to Li Zheng, so when fans and fans comment on the Internet, Li Zheng naturally becomes an unavoidable topic for both fans and fans.
