Chapter 385: News
The difference in personal choices has led to the top ten contestants in the second season of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom" in different circumstances after their debut, but under the escort of the king and queen, they still have a foothold in the Dragon Kingdom music circle.
As for what the future holds, we will only know when the "future" comes.
In fact, during this time, the most watched rookie singer in the Dragon Country music circle is not the top ten contestants in the second season of "The Voice of Dragon Country", but Zhao Zhihui!
Although Zhao Zhihui also participated in the first episode of the second season of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom", due to the timely handling and proper methods, it did not cause too much criticism, and she did not label herself as "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom".
However, her first official appearance in a variety show also gave a huge surprise to the fans who had been waiting for her official debut, and since then, her scarf has been dominated by anxious fans, and all fans under her new bib are uniform, asking when she will officially debut.
The enthusiasm of the fans cannot be ignored, and if the blow is too severe, it may make the fans of the glass heart rebellious.
Therefore, during the broadcast of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom", Zhao Zhihui, Zhao Zhenghao and "Zhenghao Studio" were all on their official scarves and officially announced Zhao Zhihui's debut date.
It was summer vacation, and Zhao Zhihui happened to be idle, so Zhao Zhenghao personally served as a producer and produced a debut album for her.
The twelve songs of the album, the lyrics, composition and arrangement, are all handled by Zhao Zhenghao, and when they were produced, they were more attentive than when they recorded the album, and the standards were stricter, which made Zhao Zhihui even a little overwhelmed, and took turns to Zhao's father, Zhao Ma, Yu Yabin, and even complain a little bit, asking them to intercede with Zhao Zhenghao for her.
Zhao Zhenghao was unmoved.
The quality of the album produced under such strict circumstances is naturally not to be said.
Moreover, after all the songs of the album were recorded, they were not released immediately, but were separated by a gap of up to four months.
One reason for setting aside such a long interval is that I don't want Zhao Zhihui's album to have any bad impact on the debut album of the top ten contestants in the second season of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom".
Moreover, after the release of Zhao Zhihui's album, it is conceivable that she has basically booked the "Best Newcomer of the Year" at the next Golden Melody Awards, and even competed for the "Best Female Singer of the Year".
Since the launch of "The Voice of the Dragon Country", the "Best Newcomer of the Year" has been swept by the newcomers launched by this show in advance.
Like the "Best Newcomer of the Year" in the last "Golden Melody Awards", the winner is Wang Zhou, the annual champion of the first season of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom".
If there is no Zhao Zhihui to stir up the situation, the next Golden Melody Award "Best Newcomer of the Year" will be the internal competition of the top ten contestants in the second season of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom".
Although the release of Zhao Zhihui's new album will be delayed until next year, that is, the contestants of the third season of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom", it is a matter of the future, and it is not so far away.
Another reason is that Zhao Zhenghao is not very satisfied with the recording effect of some songs of this album in a hurry during the summer vacation, and plans to take time in the past few months before the year, carefully polish, meticulously craft, and strive for perfection!
The global simultaneous release date of Zhao Zhihui's debut album is set for January 1, 2020.
In the early morning of this day, when the first title song of Zhao Zhihui's debut album landed on major music source websites around the world simultaneously, the long-awaited fans came like sharks smelling blood.
In just 30 minutes, this song achieved ALLKILL on the "Hot Selling Singles Chart" of almost all music source websites around the world, and the chart was a success!
Twenty-four hours later, the song has exceeded the 300 million mark in the Dragon Kingdom alone, and the sales volume of the music source is as high as 500 million worldwide!
Zhao Zhihui's title of "the strongest newcomer" is well-deserved and genuine!
Among them, of course, there is the aura blessing of her "God of Songs" brother, but more importantly, it is the song sung by Zhao Zhihui that touched the hearts of fans.
Zhao Zhihui, who has proven that she can sing and sing on the stage of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom", after her official debut, she is full of firepower and no one can stop her!
With this momentum, the "Best Newcomer of the Year" at the 2021 Golden Melody Awards is already in Zhao Zhihui's bag, and even in the competition for "Newcomer of the Year" at the 2021 Grammy Awards, Zhao Zhihui also has a high winning rate.
Zhao Zhihui's debut album, although not like Zhao Zhenghao's previous two solo albums, is divided into two sides of AB, one side of the dragon Chinese song, the other side of the English song, her twelve songs on this album, dragon Chinese songs account for nine, English songs only three.
But these three English songs are all carefully selected for her from the classic song library brought by Zhao Zhenghao from his previous life, and they are all Billboard champion singles from Zhao Zhenghao's previous life!
Now that it is used on Zhao Zhihui's body, it still does not hide its classic nature, which is deeply loved and sought after by the majority of fans, and has taken turns to reach the top position on the Billboard Hot Singles Chart.
With the backing of a world-renowned "God of Song" brother, Zhao Zhihui's debut reached a height that others could not reach, and she went directly to the direction of "International Diva".
Zhao Zhenghao for Zhao Zhihui, it can be said that he has worked hard, in the basic plate of the Dragon Kingdom, there are An Shuyi, Peng Jieshan, Min Lan, Feng Xiaojing, Yu Yabin and other "diva" and "little diva" to help him share, and his contribution is still less.
Out of the Dragon Kingdom, especially in Europe and the United States, except for An Shuyi, no one else can help Zhao Zhenghao, and to promote Zhao Zhihui, he needs to do it himself.
Therefore, after the time entered February 2020, Zhao Zhenghao, who had been idle for half a year, suddenly became busy.
first took Zhao Zhihui to participate in the Spring Festival Gala of National Television, and then took Zhao Zhihui to attend the Grammy Awards ceremony and the Golden Melody Awards ceremony one after another.
Zhao Zhenghao In the past year, although there are no new songs released, with his status, the Grammy Awards and the Golden Melody Awards, he can still participate if he wants to, and they all have performance stages, and the performance time is the longest standard.
If Zhao Zhenghao is not with her, even if Zhao Zhihui can participate in this year's Grammy Awards and Golden Melody Awards ceremony, she will not get too good exposure opportunities, perform on stage, her own Golden Melody Award is still possible, and the Grammy Awards will not be considered.
Zhao Zhihui, who has only been released for more than a month since her debut album, has already made a name for herself in the Dragon Kingdom, and in the United States, her popularity is still brewing, and she can only be regarded as an up-and-coming, not yet to the extent of becoming popular, and she will not enjoy the Grammy Awards.
In order to promote Zhao Zhihui, Zhao Zhenghao took out three classic songs of male and female choruses as the stage performance repertoire of his cooperation with Zhao Zhihui.
Zhao Zhihui is also competitive, although she has just debuted, but on the top stages in the circle, such as the National Taiwan Spring Festival Gala, the Grammy Award Ceremony, and the Golden Melody Award Ceremony, she behaved calmly and freely, without showing any timidity, and her cooperation with Zhao Zhenghao complemented each other perfectly.
The two of them behaved very tacitly, and Wang Yulan had the heart to let his brother and sister form a combination, if it could be successful, it would definitely set off a bloody storm in the combination world!
The busy days flew by, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day when the 2020 Academy Awards ceremony was held.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was successfully recommended by the film department of Dragon Country to compete for the "Best Foreign Language Film Award" at this year's Academy Awards on behalf of Dragon Kingdom, and it was nominated for the final nomination without any surprise.
Not only that, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was also shortlisted for the "Best Picture", "Best Adapted Screenplay", "Best Art Direction", "Best Cinematography", "Best Original Song", "Best Costume Design", "Best Soundtrack", "Best Visual Effects" and other awards at this year's Academy Awards.
Zhao Zhenghao was also nominated for "Best Director", the youngest of the five nominees for the "Best Director" award at this year's Academy Awards, and the only non-Hollywood person.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also became the biggest winner of the previous Oscar nomination gala with these ten nominations, leading all opponents in the number of nominations.
Before that, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" had won the "Best Foreign Language Film" award at the Golden Globe Awards, the second only film award at the Academy Awards in the United States, and Zhao Zhenghao also won the "Best Director" at the Golden Globe Awards!
The Golden Globe Awards have always been regarded as the vane of the Academy Awards, and winning the Golden Globe Award can be said to make "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" win the "Best Foreign Language Film" award at the Academy Awards.
In the final award results, there were no accidents, and the "Best Foreign Language Film" of this year's Academy Awards was awarded to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!
Although the organizing committee of the Academy Awards is stubborn and conservative, it does not dare to do anything against the world in the face of the surging trend!
Moreover, in order to ensure that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can create the history of Dragon Kingdom films, "Zhenghao Studio" has made a lot of concessions when negotiating the release of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" with distributors in the United States.
In addition, "Zhenghao Studio" also allocated a multi-million dollar campaign fund for public relations during the Academy Awards.
All kinds of expenses are not less than tens of millions of dollars!
If you pay such a price and still can't let "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" win the "Best Foreign Language Film" award at this year's Academy Awards, it can only show that the Academy Awards Organizing Committee will fight to the end in front of Dragon Country films!
It turns out that having money can really make a fool of yourself!
The American devil fell under the money offensive of the "Zhenghao Studio" this time.
Of course, the quality of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" itself has also reached the standard of "Best Foreign Language Film" that won the Academy Award, which is the foundation!
Without this, everything else is in vain!
Moreover, the tens of millions of dollars in public relations expenses of "Zhenghao Studio" are not only exchanged for "Best Foreign Language Film".
Although the two heaviest nominations, "Best Picture" and "Best Director", were missed, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" still won six awards one after another, including "Best Adapted Screenplay", "Best Original Song", "Best Art Direction", "Best Soundtrack", "Best Cinematography" and "Best Visual Effects"!
Among them, the winners of "Best Adapted Screenplay" and "Best Original Song" are all Zhao Zhenghao.
Zhao Zhenghao thus became the Dragon Country filmmaker with the largest number of Academy Award winners!
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won seven awards at this year's Academy Awards, and it is the biggest winner in terms of the number of awards!
After the end of this year's Academy Awards, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was re-released half a year after the next half of the painting according to the convention, and finally in North America, it collected nearly 50 million US dollars more at the box office.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was a huge success at the Academy Awards, allowing Zhao Zhenghao to transcend the age limit and become the flagship figure of Dragon Country filmmakers, and he was in the limelight for a while.
At the next Golden Goat Award, Golden Dragon Award, and Golden Goblet Award ceremony, the strength of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was unstoppable, not only achieving the grand slam of "Best Picture", but also allowing Zhao Zhenghao to win the second grand slam of "Best Director"!
Xiang Yazhen also won the "Best Actress" of the Golden Sheep Award for her wonderful performance in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and became the leader among actresses under the age of 30 in the Dragon Kingdom in one fell swoop, and is regarded as Yi Ping's successor - just like Yi Ping was regarded as Zhao Tianyi's successor.
Now, what people are most concerned about is what Zhao Zhenghao's next directorial work will be?
His first two directorial works, "Infernal Affairs 1" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", have already earned him all the honors that Dragon Kingdom filmmakers can receive!
The current situation is similar to that of Zhao Zhenghao after the release of his second solo album.
At that time, Zhao Zhenghao won all the honors that a Dragon Country musician could get with his second solo album, and was crowned as a unique "God of Song"!
After there was no higher challenge in the music field, Zhao Zhenghao decided to cross over to the film industry and challenge himself from scratch in a new field!
Now, in the field of film, Zhao Zhenghao has almost been able to touch the ceiling, will he choose a new field and start over like he did a few years ago?
After crossing over into the film industry, Cho did not give up his music career, and later released his third solo album and conducted his second world tour.
Now, it has been four or five years since Zhao Zhenghao's third solo album was released, and it has been almost two or three years since the end of his "legendary" world tour.
Zhao Zhenghao's hundreds of millions of fans are waiting to be fed, waiting for the news of his fourth solo album.
