Chapter 247: Image Subversion

If it is in the new film and television field, Zhao Zhenghao may also consider the market reaction before he has a new move, basically on this, he also has decades of accumulation in his previous life, and the quality of his works can be guaranteed.

But in the music industry, when releasing a new album, Zhao Zhenghao did not have the slightest worry about its sales!

Zhao Zhenghao, who has been canonized in the Dragon Kingdom and has established the status of a top superstar in the world, will be supported by a large number of loyal fans even if the new album released is as rotten as!

Of course, if Zhao Zhenghao really does that, he is overdrawing the fans' trust in him, and it is impossible to have one and two.

However, Zhao Zhenghao, who has decades of accumulation in his previous life, how can he let his new album be as rotten as? In his library of thousands of songs, he can just take out a few songs and put them together into an album, and the quality will not lose to any singer at the moment!

What's more, the songs selected in this new album were carefully selected by Zhao Zhenghao in the music library for several days, and they can be called the first classics!

At 0:00 a.m. on May 15, 2016 - this time refers to the time of the Dragon Kingdom - Zhao Zhenghao's third solo album "Legend" (the English version is called "Imagine"), which was released simultaneously around the world!

This global synchronization is indeed a global synchronization, just when the time of the dragon country arrives, the digital sound source of Zhao Zhenghao's third solo album is simultaneously launched in Penguin Music in the dragon country and Spotify abroad, which can be auditioned and downloaded by more than 95% of the world's fans at the same time!

And those fans who paid in advance to book will get a push message from the online music platform at the first moment when the album is launched, and they can hear Zhao Zhenghao's new song for the first time.

It wasn't until this time that fans really knew why Zhao Zhenghao's new album was priced so much higher than other albums - the number of songs it included was also much higher than other albums!

Zhao Zhenghao's new album contains a total of sixteen songs, of which eight are in Long Chinese and eight in English, and there are two pure music, one guitar and one piano, for a total of eighteen tracks!

In addition, fans who purchase a physical CD will also receive an additional mystery song, and fans within the influence of the Dragon Kingdom will receive a song in Chinese called "I"; fans within the influence of English will receive an English song called "Sexy And I Kno It".

Eight dragon Chinese songs, namely "Legend", "Ten Years", "The Sea", "Special Love for Special You", "Love You for 10,000 Years", "Endless Love for You", "Blooming Life", "Seven Miles of Incense"; eight English songs are "Imagine", "Happy", "Beautiful Day", "The Saltater Room", "The Lazy Song", "Upton Funk", "Friends", " She’s Gone》。

That guitar song is called "Tender Surrender", and the Chinese name of Long can be translated as "gentle submission"; that piano song, called "Alays ith Me", the Chinese name of Long can be translated as "Always with me", or "Always with me"!

These songs are all carefully selected by Zhao Zhenghao from thousands of classic music libraries in his previous life, and in his previous life, each of them has a good degree of singing!

Moreover, these songs, spanning a variety of genres, can perfectly show the diversity of Zhao Zhenghao's singing skills, can have the ethereal of "Legend", can have the affection of "Love You for 10,000 Years", can have the explosion of "Blooming Life", can have the sadness of "Ten Years", can have the high-pitched "Sea", and can also have the warmth of "Qilixiang"!

In terms of English songs, Zhao Zhenghao has played more diversely, including rock "Beautiful Day" and "She's Gone", popular "The Saltater Room" and "The Lazy Song", funk "Upton Funk", and electronic music "Friends".

Zhao Zhenghao's singing voice is also free to toss and turn between three octaves of high, medium and low, with ease.

Of course, as a singer with a sense of social responsibility, in this new album, he also has a "holy song" that can be sung through the ages, and this "Imagine" composed by Lennon is not too much to put on it with any kind of beautiful words!

At the same time as the release of the album, Cho Jung-ho also released the title song of the album of the same name, the first wave of the main song within the influence of the Dragon Kingdom is "Legend", and the first wave of the main song within the influence of the English language is "Imagine".

Launched at the same time as the singles, there are also their exclusive MVs, the MVs of these two songs that were selected as the main songs of the first wave, completely produced by Zhao Zhenghao alone, and the camera was completed in the first two-person trip of Zhao Zhenghao and Yu Yabin, and the two of them are naturally the heroes and heroines of the MV.

The sound of running water at the beginning of the arrangement of "Legend" was personally recorded by Zhao Zhenghao by a stream that he passed during his travels, and in its MV, Zhao Zhenghao did not reveal his true body, but only showed an arm, 99% of the pictures are Yu Yabin's figure, and these pictures are all recorded by the camera he is in charge of.

At the time of filming, Yu Yabin didn't know that Zhao Zhenghao would make it into a MV and release it as the first title song of his new album!

This song can be regarded as Zhao Zhenghao's confession to Yu Yabin in front of the public!

This wave of dog food is sprinkled, and others can only stare dryly!

Even if other singers want to copy Zhao Zhenghao's approach, it is impossible to achieve this effect under the unequal momentum!

The MV for "Imagine" is shot in a simpler scene, in a wooden house in the woods under the Altai Mountains, Zhao Zhenghao sits in front of an old upright piano, playing and singing to Yu Yabin standing by the window, through the window, people can see the afterglow of the distant mountains.

The recording process was achieved overnight, in fact, during the recording, Zhao Zhenghao sang not only this "Imagine" to Yu Yabin, but also several other songs, but when making the MV, this paragraph was intercepted.

After the release of Zhao Zhenghao's new album, he immediately became the top of the Golden Song Chart Album Hot Selling List and the Billboard Album 200 Chart.

At the same time, "Legend" and "Imagine" also landed at the top of the Golden Song Chart and the Billboard Singles Chart, respectively!

When many people hear the song "Imagine" for the first time, the first thought that pops into their minds is the "Song of the Year" at the next Grammy Awards.

There is nothing surprising about this arrangement, and Zhao Zhenghao sings it easily and freely, without the slightest show-off, like an old friend, in your ears, with a flat voice, let you imagine the world created in the song.

But it is this seemingly insipid inadvertent that often contains a powerful power that hits the depths of people's hearts!

With this song alone, Zhao Zhenghao's new album is enough to be passed down through the ages!

However, things often have two sides, the release of "Imagine", the same, the fans who love it and worship it as a "hymn", but there are also people who interpret it as a poison that promotes "anarchism" and "liberalism", and suggest that governments jointly ban it!

Cho Jung-ho also hesitated when he chose to include this song in his new album, but finally made up his mind.

However, in order to minimize the negative impact of "Imagine", on the third day of its release, Cho Jung-ho released the second wave of English title song - "Upton Funk".

This divine comedy, which established the status of Brother Mars as the "No. 1 ronin in the universe" in his previous life, is very subversive, allowing fans to see another side of Zhao Zhenghao.

In the MV launched at the same time, Zhao Zhenghao incarnated as a local tyrant at the junction of urban and rural areas, regaining the dressing style of his predecessor, wearing a small pink suit on his upper body, a white T-shirt inside, and a slit at the neckline, so low that his belly button was almost exposed, and he was wearing a pair of white high-waisted socks in the small yellow leather shoes on his feet.

On his head, he wore a fake top hat, but the temperament that should have belonged to him was destroyed by the big sunglasses hanging on the tip of Zhao Zhenghao's nose and the big gold chain hanging around his neck.

In the MV, Zhao Zhenghao gave up his previous neat and chic dance steps, became extremely greasy, and walked forward in all directions for a while, and shook his head and tail for a while, it is unimaginable that this is the dance steps of Zhao Zhenghao, who is regarded as the "King of Dance" by some fans!

However, with the strong drum beat of the song, everyone who hears this song will involuntarily shake their feet and nod their heads!

Like Cho Jung-ho's previous songs, this "Upton Funk" is also poisonous and addictive.

Zhao Zhenghao, whose image has changed greatly, is more in line with the aesthetics of Westerners, especially among young people, many people who were not very interested in Zhao Zhenghao fell in love with him because of this song.

After the release of "Upton Funk", it only took one day to reach the Billboard singles chart, and it rose to second place, just below "Imagine"!

In the end, this week's Billboard singles chart leader still belonged to the preemptive "Imagine", but in the past two weeks, "Upton Funk" has come from behind, and has been on the top of the Billboard singles chart for five consecutive weeks!

"Upton Funk" and "Imagine" are also rumored to be a good story!

At this time, among Cho Jung-ho's fans, there is a MV that is even more turbulent than the MV of "Upton Funk", which is spreading at an astonishing speed, and its name is "Sexy And I Kno It"!

The song, which was a hidden perk for buying a physical CD, didn't catch the attention of fans at first, and at that time, fans were attracted to the feelings of "Imagine" and the energy of "Upton Funk", or the languidness of "The Lazy Song" or the sadness of "She's Gone".

But after watching the MV of "Sexy And I Kno It", fans were shocked and pointed at Cho Jung-ho's nose and roared - so you are like this!

If the MV of "Upton Funk" subverted fans' consistent impression of Zhao Zhenghao, then "Sexy And I Kno It" interprets this subversion to the extreme!

In the MV of "Upton Funk", Zhao Zhenghao just showed a little bit of the wave energy that was hidden deep before, and although the image is spicy, it is still within the normal range.

In the MV of "Sexy And I Kno It", Zhao Zhenghao intensified the wave energy on his body, and added elements that are more attractive to him - for the first time in history, two points on the road!

The MV of "Sexy And I Kno It" started normally, but soon, something crazy happened to the female fans, only to see him wave his big hand, and the original clothes on his body disappeared, leaving only the small shorts around his waist!

Zhao Zhenghao, who insists on exercising, although the muscles on his body are not as prominent as bodybuilders, they are also well-defined, with eight-pack abs and mermaid lines, which makes the female fans who see this MV transform into meat @ body rice, and can't wait to incarnate into a data stream, drill into the MV, and touch Zhao Zhenghao's body with his own hands.

Yu Yabin At this moment, I don't know how much I have gained the jealousy of Zhao Zhenghao's female fans, when Zhao Zhenghao's female fans saw this MV, their jealousy of Yu Yabin, the only one who could openly contact Zhao Zhenghao's flesh @ body, was even stronger than when their relationship was exposed!

Fans who saw this MV, although many regarded it as an exclusive collection, there were also some who couldn't hide it in their hearts and couldn't help but share it with those around them.

As a hidden benefit of buying a physical CD, Zhao Zhenghao made a special setting on the MV of "Sexy And I Kno It", restricting its copying attributes, and it can only be watched through the USB flash drive that comes with the physical CD.

At the same time, before the MV, I deliberately left a message for fans, hoping that fans would not upload it to the public platform!

The overseas price of the physical CD of Zhao Zhenghao's new album is $19.99, which is higher than its domestic price when converted into dragon currency, and those who are willing to pay this money to buy it are all die-hard fans of Zhao Zhenghao.

This part of the fans naturally treated Zhao Zhenghao's request as a holy decree and obeyed his words.

There are thousands of folk masters, although Zhao Zhenghao has limited the copying attribute of the MV of "Sexy And I Kno It", but those who have expertise in this area can't work hard to break its limitations.

However, there are always just in case, and in the end, there are still fans who break the restrictions of the MV and upload it to their own personal social platforms, although it was quickly blocked by relevant parties, but still let it circulate.

Soon, "Sexy And I Kno It", which has a bolder style and more spicy eyes, spread among Cho Jeong-ho's fans and caused a crazy following.

Many fans of Dragon Country, who are not short of money, even paid an extra amount of money to buy the English version of the album in order to receive its original version.

Under the influence of many factors, the physical CD of Zhao Zhenghao's new album, one month after its release, the global sales exceeded 20 million, becoming the world's highest physical selling album this year!

Zhao Zhenghao's status as an international superstar is more stable!

……

After the release of the new album, Cho Jung-ho adopted a new means of publicity to promote it.

On May 15, 2016, at two o'clock in the afternoon of Dragon Kingdom time, that is, fourteen hours after the global release of Zhao Zhenghao's third solo album, Zhao Zhenghao teamed up with a number of online live broadcast platforms to start a three-hour grand live broadcast to promote the new album.
