Interview with _Intern Zheng Jingjun
First impression of "good boy"
"In the future, we will strive to let everyone see more aspects of themselves"
Recently, S.K.Y Sky Junior's group "Blue Blue Boy" was launched, and seven teenagers started a unique marine environmental protection journey in Hainan. At the end of the recording, the reporter of this magazine observed their work and life up close. Among them, Zuo Linjie, the second youngest teenager in the regiment, was well-behaved and soft-hearted. As seen in the film, every morning, the earliest probability is Zuo Linjie, who obediently gets up and then obediently eats breakfast; sometimes when he eats too much, he will pay attention to control and not worry at all. In the interview, when talking about his first impression of giving people a "good child", Zuo Linjie said that perhaps his mother was more strict when he was a child, which are his most authentic manifestations. But the next second, Zuo Linjie couldn't help but spit on himself, "In fact, I also feel, hey, I'm participating in a show." He said that in the future, he will strive to let everyone see more aspects of himself.
During the reunion, S.K.Y Sky Junior held a sunset concert. For his performance at the concert, Zuo Linjie, who was very strict with himself, said, "It's OK, it's not too good. Once Zuo Linjie wrote down his biggest wish was to exchange voices with Ren Yuge (Zheng Renyu), which was Zuo Linjie's expectation of his singing. He did not just regard this as a wish, but in practical action, Zuo Linjie was also very executive. He told reporters that when he was in class, he would often extend the time to consult the teacher, and often pondered Zheng Renyu's singing skills. He said: "I want to sing better on the basis of the present. He likes to sing, he knows that the process should be gradual, and he does not want to make rapid progress, for now, he "hopes that he can sing a song in its entirety and be satisfied with it."
Nandu Entertainment: Your personal description of yourself is that you love to eat, so what is your daily meal volume?
Zuo Linjie: It's because they all say I like to eat, so I'm joking, my meal is actually really good, that is, the amount of normal people's food, but I will eat a lot of meals.
Nandu Entertainment: How many tons?
Zuo Linjie: I think about it, about six or seven meals a day.
Nandu Entertainment: Is there so much? Are you sure?
Zoringer: Really. I don't know why, but lately I've been hungry easily.
Nandu Entertainment: Is it because the work is busy and consumes more energy?
Zuo Linjie: Well, I think there may be a reason for this, and it is true that the standby time is too long.
Nandu Entertainment: So have you been asked to limit the amount of food?
Zuo Linjie: This does not need to be required, I will see it myself, if you are fat, you can eat less, and you will pay more attention to it.
Nandu Entertainment: What sports do you usually like?
Zuo Linjie: Actually, I like sports. I like playing football, basketball, skiing, skateboarding.
Nandu Entertainment: You seem to be learning to ski lately?
Zuo Linjie: Yes, I may be more interested in this aspect, and I will want to try. I think I'm learning pretty well.
Nandu Entertainment: How is skiing now?
Zuo Linjie: I may not be as fast as the people around me, but I can get down normally, and I will also do some movements, and maybe I can learn something new next time I go.
Nandu Entertainment: Next time dare to go to the intermediate track?
Zuo Linjie: I have already gone to the senior track.
Nandu Entertainment: Just a day?
Zuo Linjie: I studied for two hours on the first day and went to advanced level the next morning.
Nandu Entertainment: That's still pretty good, the speed of this learning.
Zuo Linjie: My athletic talent is quite good.
Nandu Entertainment: How many points to give yourself the ability to learn in sports?
Zuo Linjie: In terms of sports, I may give it 95.
Nandu Entertainment: What about the appearance value, how many points to give yourself?
Zuo Linjie: Pass the face value.
Nandu Entertainment: 60 points, so modest.
Zuo Linjie: Then, of course, be humble. I think that the appearance is to see the fate, and the parents give it like this, I think it is very good.
Nandu Entertainment: Your facial features, which part of your favorite part is your favorite?
Zuo Linjie: I prefer the eyes and nose.
Nandu Entertainment: When you were a child, did you often hear family and friends say that you were very good-looking?
Zuo Linjie: Yes, but my parents don't pay much attention to those.
Nandu Entertainment: Many people's first impression of you is "good child", how do you think of these evaluations of you by others?
Zuo Linjie: Because before I faced these things, I stayed with my parents, my mother was more strict, and then I listened to her everything, so I just showed it in the show according to my most authentic state. Maybe for everyone, they will think how I am such a blank piece of paper, so well-behaved. But in fact, I also feel, hey, I'm on a show and should be more of a performance.
Nandu Entertainment: Want to express yourself in more ways?
Zuo Linjie: Of course, I want to try to make myself as varied as possible.
Nandu Entertainment: What other aspects do you want to present to everyone?
Zuo Linjie: Probably later.
Nandu Entertainment: Today I watched you sing, sang very well, and interacted with the fans very happily, is this the scene you imagined?
Zuo Linjie: In fact, I did not imagine that there would be such an opportunity, including after coming here, I only heard that there would be a concert, and I really understood it two days ago, including our own design and planning for the concert. I think it's very interesting, that is, it feels very close to the fans, you can show yourself face to face, you can communicate closer, it's very interesting.
Nandu Entertainment: You said that you most want to exchange voices with Zheng Renyu, so do you usually make some efforts in singing training?
Zuo Linjie: Usually in vocal music class, I often have a little more time to ask the teacher for some commonly used skills. Usually, I will also listen to people singing to brother Yu and learn from him, and I want to sing better on the basis of my current situation.
Nandu Entertainment: Do you have any goals for yourself in terms of singing?
Zuo Linjie: I hope that I can sing a song in its entirety and be satisfied with myself.
Nandu Entertainment: You sang very well today, at the sunset concert.
Zuo Linjie: Ok, not too good.
Nandu Entertainment: In the new album, I see you have a rap part, right?
Zuo Linjie: Right.
Nandu Entertainment: Were you worried when you were assigned to this part?
Zuo Linjie: Don't worry, because I learned rap in Korea.
Nandu Entertainment: Is rap still challenging for you right now?
Zuo Linjie: Because we have been out of the show for a long time, I have been away from rap for a long time, in fact, I am unfamiliar.
Nandu Entertainment: A little rusty?
Zuo Linjie: Yes, I prefer to sing, including in the show I choose to sing more.
Nandu Entertainment: I am more confident in singing, right?
Zuo Linjie: Singing actually does not have any confidence, the teacher said that I am a blank piece of paper, that is, what to teach me, I will listen to what, there are not a lot of problems that need to be changed. Like my words, the teacher will say, it's okay, you listen to whatever I teach you.
Work, practice, attend classes
"I hope I have the opportunity to make movies and cooperate with more seniors"
In this interview with Zuo Linjie, S.K.Y Sky Junior is about to usher in the 100th day of the group. Recalling when he first participated in "The Name of the Teenager", Zuo Linjie felt that he was also ignorant, and when others asked him which position he wanted to reach, his answer was to debut in a group, "I think the best result of this show is this, then I want this." Now, after making a successful debut, and then asked what his biggest dream is, Zuo Linjie said that he didn't think too much, "I hope I don't sit idle." ”
In the past 100 days, Zuo Linjie admitted that he did not feel too much pressure from the outside world, "because it is true that it is not so red now." In his view, many times the pressure is given to himself, because he is not willing to stop here, and wants to let everyone see him more, "that is, I feel that my goal is not only now, I want to go to a higher position, I will tell myself this every day." Although the debut time is not long, Zuo Linjie has his ambitions and his goals, "If I get to that position, it will be more popular, and the pressure at that time may come from different places." Now, the most important thing is not to give up or stop, and the pressure at this stage mainly comes from yourself. ”
In the interview, the reporter asked him, if he did not debut, what would he do? "Go back to school," Zuo Linjie replied calmly. Now the busy schedule occupies most of his time, but after work, Zuo Linjie has not forgotten to study, as long as he has time, he will practice writing or online classes. He said that in the future, he plans to enter an art school to continue his studies. For the future acting career, Zuo Linjie's current idea is "not much planning for the time being, hoping to be exposed to some performance-related opportunities, and hoping to have the opportunity to make movies in the future and learn and cooperate with more seniors."
Nandu Entertainment: After work, what is your biggest dream?
Zuo Linjie: Don't let yourself sit idle.
Nandu Entertainment: How busy do you want to be?
Zuo Linjie: I think it's quite busy today, that is, the group is really busy these days.
Nandu Entertainment: How busy are these days?
Zuo Linjie: I get up at about seven o'clock in the morning and end at one or two o'clock in the morning.
Nandu Entertainment: When participating in "The Name of the Teenager", did you think that you would definitely make your debut?
Zuo Linjie: To be honest, I was on the show at the time, and someone asked me what the results you wanted to achieve were, and I said that I debuted in a group. Because I have no concept of this, but I think the best result of this show is this, then I want this.
Nandu Entertainment: Have you ever thought about what you would do if you didn't make your debut?
Zuo Linjie: Go back to school.
Nandu Entertainment: How is the usual study time allocated?
Zuo Linjie: Usually, as long as I wake up, I basically write for a while. Then if there is no activity that day, I will take online classes.
Nandu Entertainment: Do you have any plans to go to any school in the future?
Zuo Linjie: I actually want to choose an art school, this is under consideration, and now I want to go to the art side.
Nandu Entertainment: Did you rely on any brother in the regiment?
Zuo Linjie: I am actually more independent, and I don't particularly rely on anyone. When I left my parents, I was quite independent. Now in this group, everyone works and lives together, which is a new model.
Nandu Entertainment: Now that the group has been in the group for almost 100 days, do you feel that there is any change from when you first participated in the show?
Zuo Linjie: I think it may be relatively more able to let go of themselves, many times in the show is not very able to let go, after the formation of the group to face a variety of things, they are also growing, but also learning to seize more opportunities to express themselves.
Nandu Entertainment: Do you usually go to browse the messages or comments that everyone gives you?
Zuo Linjie: Actually, I rarely go to see it, because I really don't have time to look at it. I usually have my own plans, practicing, studying, playing games, playing basketball, and the time schedule is quite full.
Nandu Entertainment: If you look at it, what kind of topics will you pay attention to?
Zuo Linjie: I usually brush up on what to see and don't search for these things.
Nandu Entertainment: What kind of relationship do you want to have with your fans?
Zuo Linjie: The best distance is that I am on stage and they are offstage. I perform on stage and they are willing to watch me and feel happy or have something to gain from my performance, I feel satisfied.
Nandu Entertainment: After debuting, there is a lot of attention, is there pressure?
Zuo Linjie: In fact, there is no pressure, and there is pressure for yourself. My goal is more than that, I want to reach a higher position, I will tell myself this every day.
Nandu Entertainment: Want to get better, right?
Zuo Linjie: Yes, it is to find a way for everyone to see me. If that were the time, there might be more pressure from different places, but at the moment, my biggest pressure comes from myself, and I will tell myself that I can't give up and can't stop.
Nandu Entertainment: In the future, do you have any plans for your acting career?
Zuo Linjie: First I can contact one or two small performances, and in the future, I hope that I will have the opportunity to make movies and learn and cooperate with more seniors.
Juvenile growth
"I hope to become a more mature and stable adult"
At the beginning of the "Name of the Teenager" program, Zuo Linjie won the C position honor of the theme song with a 50/79 trainee support rate, becoming the first ordinary person in the internal entertainment, and since then he has maintained a high position all the way, and finally debuted in the second place with a super high boost value of more than 10 million. The dazzling achievements are inseparable from the people who have been supporting him by Zuo Linjie's side, but they are even more inseparable from Zuo Linjie's own efforts.
Before participating in "The Name of the Teenager", Zuo Linjie trained in South Korea. At the age of 16, he was selected to go to South Korea as a trainee, and in the face of everything strange, coupled with day-to-day training, Zuo Linjie said that it was really boring and boring at that time, and there were some moments when he wanted to give up. But in addition to giving up, he was more afraid that all this would become meaningless, so he forced himself to practice in the practice room every day. Looking back on that time now, Zuo Linjie is glad that he persevered, because now all this is based on it, and he is also grateful, "History will not fail itself." ”
Zuo Linjie regards Zhang Yixing as his role model, because of Zhang Yixing, he wants to become an idol. After training in South Korea for four years and experiencing it firsthand, Zuo Linjie felt that Zhang Yixing was even more remarkable. Perhaps influenced by the role model, Zuo Linjie is also very clear about his future positioning, he said, "As an artist, to set a good example for everyone, let everyone see your positive, or hard work and enterprising spirit, I think it is good." Be humble, and then be open-minded, always keep the sunshine and positive attitude. ”
In January last year, Zuo Linjie ushered in his 18th birthday, and after becoming an adult, Zuo Linjie hoped that he could become more mature, more stable and more responsible. But interestingly, he said that so far, everyone he has met, whether it is his brothers or the staff around him, still sees him as a child, "so I have to learn slowly, keep growing, the process may be a little slower." However, everyone often says that when he was a child, he always wanted to grow up quickly, but when he grew up, he found that he wanted to go back to his childhood, hoping that Zuo Linjie could always maintain his childlike innocence and fearlessness, just like his self-introduction, becoming "Zuo Linjie, who is liked by his neighbors."
Nandu Entertainment: Do you remember when you first came into contact with dance?
Zuo Linjie: I started to be in contact with it when I was 10 years old.
Nandu Entertainment: What kind of dance was the opportunity to contact at that time?
Zuo Linjie: At that time, I attended an interest class and briefly learned to dance.
Nandu Entertainment: What kind of dance was learned at that time?
Zuo Linjie: I learned hip-hop, and I had a lesson in Hip-hop.
Nandu Entertainment: I've been interested in dancing since then, have you?
Zuo Linjie: Yes, I think it is very handsome, so I went to study.
Nandu Entertainment: Can you comment on your time as a trainee in Korea?
Zuo Linjie: I think it still makes a lot of sense, because I'm basing all this on it now. During that time, I sometimes felt that the training was very boring and boring, and the process of laying the foundation was very tiring.
Nandu Entertainment: During that time in Korea, how did you stick to it?
Zuo Linjie: Because there were many brothers who went with me, they were not familiar with life at that time, and it seemed that there were not many other things to do, so they forced themselves to complete this matter and concentrate on practicing.
Nandu Entertainment: Have you ever thought about giving up?
Zuo Linjie: Of course there will be, there will definitely be. I've been training, and one night, when I was thinking about what I did today or leaving my parents for so long, I felt that what if it didn't make sense.
Nandu Entertainment: How did you convince yourself to stick with it later?
Zuo Linjie: Because I promised my parents to do their best when they came, I continued to do it hard.
Nandu Entertainment: Are there any idols in the showbiz industry that you like?
Zuo Linjie: Teacher Zhang Yixing, I take him as my role model.
Nandu Entertainment: Why?
Zuo Linjie: Because after I personally experienced the time when I went to Korea to train, I realized that it was not easy for him to train in Korea for four years and then come out to this stage. Now I feel more empathy and feel that he is really amazing.
Nandu Entertainment: Now seeing so many fans like you and support you, what kind of thoughts do you have in your heart?
Zuo Linjie: I feel very lucky that my efforts have not been in vain. History will not fail itself.
Nandu Entertainment: What kind of artist do you want to become in the future?
Zuo Linjie: I have thought about this question, and I don't think it is necessary to have any works or stages. I think, first of all, as an artist, you have to set a good example for everyone, even if you don't sing and dance, don't look at these, but you usually treat the world and so on, so that everyone can see your positive, hard-working spirit. So I will also pay more attention now, to be humble, and then to be open-minded, not to have low pressure to pass to the audience, to maintain a sunny, positive attitude at any time.
Nandu Entertainment: In 2020, you are 18 years old, officially an adult, do you feel any difference in your work and life after you become an adult?
Zuo Linjie: Actually, no, now they also treat me like a child.
Nandu Entertainment: What do you mean by them?
Zorlinger: Everyone I met, my brothers, and the staff. So I have to learn slowly, keep growing, and the process may be slower.
Nandu Entertainment: What kind of adult do you want yourself to be?
Zuo Linjie: Responsible. Or is it more... In short, it is a little more mature and stable than it is now.
