Chapter 205: Daily
While carrying out the post-production of "Journey to the West", Zhao Zhenghao is also preparing his third solo album, and the second album of the "Heroic Spirit" band is also on the agenda.
Since the official debut of the band two years ago, although the lead singer Zhao Zhenghao almost does not participate in their commercial performances, with the popularity gathered from the first album, as well as the continuous efforts of Wang Rui, Liu Yang, Yin Zeqing, and Tian Xiaolei, they have gradually grown into the leading band in the rock circle of Dragon Kingdom.
Especially after participating in all the performances of Zhao Zhenghao's "Dangerous Journey" world tour in Asia, the momentum of the band has undergone a fundamental change, and there is already a shadow of a super rock band.
Although Zhao Zhenghao has been focusing on his own development in the past two years and has not paid much attention to the band, he still wrote a few songs for the band one after another, and did not let them eat their old books all the time.
Throughout 2014, in addition to participating in the "Dangerous Journey" world tour and being Zhao Zhenghao's hot guest, the "Heroic Spirit" band also received a large number of commercial performance activities, and successfully held a large-scale concert with an audience of more than 10,000 in Beijing.
Although in terms of overall revenue, it is less than a fraction of Zhao Zhenghao, but it is also a powerful supplement to the entertainment territory of "Zhenghao Studio", after all, they are the first group of artists owned by "Zhenghao Studio" in addition to Zhao Zhenghao.
And, to tell the truth, they have performed very well in terms of profit creation, reaching the average level of the top second-tier stars in the entertainment industry of Dragon Kingdom, and the net profit brought to "Zhenghao Studio" is enough to support the daily operation of the studio.
Wang Rui, Liu Yang, Yin Zeqing, and Tian Xiaolei are not stunned young people in their twenties, and when they joined the "Zhenghao Studio", they were all twenty-six or seventeen years old, and they had been in the rock circle for more than seventy or eighty years, and they had no chance to get ahead.
Now, being able to stand in the position of a second-tier star, and without the blessing of Zhao Zhenghao, they have touched the threshold of the first line, which is something they couldn't think of before!
None of them are the kind of unruly character - "Zhenghao Studio" took this into account when it was first born, and eliminated those who are too ambitious and have low eyes - they are all satisfied with the current state of life.
They were able to emerge in the fiercely competitive Dragon Kingdom rock circle and have their current status, it can be said that it all depends on Zhao Zhenghao, their debut is to occupy Zhao Zhenghao's light, and after their debut, they also rely on Zhao Zhenghao's escort to get to where they are today.
Of course, what is more important is that "Zhenghao Studio" is very generous in their share, which makes them very satisfied, and there is no more extravagance.
Zhao Zhenghao's current personal music career has reached a peak, almost touching the roof, there is no room for growth, and it is also a good choice to turn to group action in the future.
Rock bands can be said to be the longest-lived way of survival in the world music circle, as long as they can ensure the harmony within the team, it is common to be active for twenty or thirty years, and in Zhao Zhenghao's previous life, there are even grandfather-level rock bands that have been active for forty years!
Anyway, some of the classic songs in Zhao Zhenghao's hands are that if you choose a few at random, you can form a high-quality album that will be popular for half a year and a few months.
In order to make the concert more relaxed, Zhao Zhenghao's songs for his third solo album are limited to pop love songs, no longer singing and dancing tracks like "Billie Jean", even if the song is choreographed with dance, he also reduces his activity as much as possible, so that the backup dancer can take on more responsibility.
On the "heroic" band album, Zhao Zhenghao chose the lead song repertoire for himself, and also reduced the treble and tearing sound as much as possible, and chose most of the songs that were relatively peaceful and tender.
Moreover, instead of singing all ten songs by themselves, let other members of the band take on more singing tasks, not only the second lead singer Liu Yang, but also drummer Wang Rui, bassist Yin Zeqing, and rhythm guitarist Tian Xiaolei will also contribute their voices in this album, and even have their own exclusive tracks.
However, Zhao Zhenghao's solo album is not in a hurry to be produced, because it will not be released until at least the upper part of "Journey to the West" is released, and it may even be listed together with the lower part of "Journey to the West", at least another half a year.
The second album of the "Heroic" band is also in a hurry, at least until the rehearsal of a few new songs taken out by Zhao Zhenghao is proficient before it can enter the official recording.
Zhao Zhenghao came up with six new songs for the "Heroic" band this time, plus a few songs released as singles before, which can make up a regular album of ten songs.
If you want to rehearse these songs well, it will take a month, and after adding the recording time, it will be released in two months.
Although there is a lot of work, Zhao Zhenghao is not too busy and tired.
First, of course, the songs he prepared for himself and the band were all sung by him in his previous life, and under the guarantee of his current 95 o'clock singing skills, he doesn't need to do too much special practice at all, he can sing when he comes up, and the effect is guaranteed.
Second, although it is necessary to carry out the post-production of the upper and lower parts of "Journey to the West", but when there are classic versions of the previous life to learn from, there is no difficulty in editing and soundtrack, especially in the upper part, there are only a limited number of special effects shots, although the shooting is completed, it is already in mid-October, but it is enough to ensure that it can catch up with the Spring Festival schedule in 2016.
The Spring Festival in 2016 will start on February 6, and there are still more than three months to go, which is enough.
……
The news that the second theatrical movie written, directed and acted by Zhao Zhenghao has been made public a long time ago, but after the general plot was revealed, it caused confusion in the industry and fans.
Choosing "Journey to the West" as the theme, you can understand that as one of the four famous novels, the story of Tang Seng and Sun Wukong's master and apprentice can be said to be a household name in the Dragon Kingdom, as well as East Asia and Southeast Asia, as well as the traditional influence of the Dragon Kingdom.
However, judging from the plot disclosed in "Journey to the West", Zhao Zhenghao should have just borrowed the name of the popular IP of "Journey to the West", and the story he told has nothing to do with "Journey to the West".
The male and female protagonists who are disclosed, Bai Jingjing is a white bone spirit, this is quite reliable, and he is a very faceless supporting role in "Journey to the West", but what the hell is Zixia Fairy? and the reincarnation of Sun Wukong, it turned out to be a mountain bandit leader Supreme Treasure, isn't it funny!
