(This chapter makes up for the one owed on Saturday!)

Zhao Zhenghao, who is becoming more and more popular, has been squeezed smaller and smaller in his private space, and he is really unwilling to contribute to the vacation opportunities he has won so hard.

Moreover, he is now fully engaged in the production of his second solo album, how can he have time to shoot the third season of "Follow Brother Hao to the World"?

Wang Yulan had no choice but to announce Zhao Zhenghao's current work arrangement through the official bib of "Zhenghao Studio".

When Cho Jung-ho's fans learned that his second full-fledged studio solo album was in intense production and would be released in the near future to meet them, the demand for the third season of "Follow Brother Hao to the World" was no longer so urgent.

Now, the vast majority of fans who like Zhao Zhenghao are still his fans, especially among the fans who have increased after the resurgence of popularity, the fan component accounts for 99%.

The remaining one percent, because of "following Brother Hao to travel the world", became obsessed with Zhao Zhenghao's fans, and later they were all conquered by his musical talent and became his fans.

Compared with his second regular solo album, shows like "Follow Brother Hao to Travel the World" are much lighter.

Moreover, Zhao Zhenghao has long said that the style of his second solo album will turn to mainstream popularity, which will make his fans full of expectations.

……

On this album, Zhao Zhenghao put a lot more energy into it than the first one.

First of all, in the stage of picking songs, Zhao Zhenghao was much more entangled than the last time.

Rock, whether in China in the past life or in the Dragon Kingdom in this life, is a relatively niche music category, although it has also had glory and has a deep audience base, but compared with mainstream pop love songs, it is still far from it.

Naturally, the classics of rock and roll, in terms of quantity, are also much less popular than popular.

What Zhao Zhenghao is struggling with is how to select a dozen or so from the hundreds of pop classics and classic love songs and include them in the second album.

Zhao Zhenghao made a list of hundreds of songs for this at the beginning, and then scratched his head and deleted them one by one, deleting until there were only fifty songs left, and every time he crossed out a song title, Zhao Zhenghao had to cut off a handful of hair, and finally almost turned himself bald.

In the end, after several deliberations and back and forth, ten songs were finally determined to form the dragon Chinese song part of the second album.

When this playlist was handed over to Yan Yu, he had to remind him, and Zhao Zhenghao remembered that according to the convention, for the sake of the international market, singers like his current identity must include two or three English songs in each album.

Just like the two albums he has released, both include two English songs.

And his current top-selling single in the world is also an English song.

Zhao Zhenghao had to experience another headache and selected five English songs for this album.

All in all, he has a total of fifteen songs for his second solo studio album, plus "Billie Jean" to be included in this album, which is sixteen songs, almost reaching the double CD standard.

Yan Yu suggested that he delete a few more songs and set the number of songs at twelve, but Zhao Zhenghao repeatedly opened this song list I don't know how many times, and he was reluctant to delete any of them.

In the end, Yan Yu compromised, and absolutely recorded and produced all these songs, as for whether it will be deleted when the album is released in the end, then we will talk about it then.

Although this makes the production of this album not much more, Zhao Zhenghao and Yan Yu, the two people who can decide the fate of this album, have no objection to this, and the others can only cooperate.

The recording process was also nowhere near as smooth as it was on the first album.

When producing the album "No Place for Shame", the accompaniment and vocals, the actual recording time was only a few hours, and the later time was just to check and fill in the gaps and adjust and improve.

And even if you add up the time for adjustment and perfection later, the whole production process didn't take a week!

And this time, for a week, Yan Yu and Zhao Zhenghao didn't even record a song!

This is not to say that Yan Yu's production ability is worse than Cui Ran, nor does it mean that Zhao Zhenghao's state this time is worse than last time, but the two of them have a much stricter attitude towards this work.

Cui Ran, as a former rock singer and a professional rock producer who later became a full-time rock producer, values the production of songs more than the feeling!

As long as the recording effect achieves the feeling he wants, he will be OK there.

And Yan Yu, from beginning to end, has been a producer, and has never sung in person, and his requirements for songs are more than just necessary feelings!

For example, the control of style, the choice of arrangement, the use of singing, etc., always want to make a song perfect to the extent of impeccable!

Zhao Zhenghao's attitude towards this album is also much stricter than the first one, especially his current production ability, which has improved a lot compared to a year ago, and in the process of production, he has a lot more of his own ideas.

When his ideas are inconsistent with Yan Yu's requirements, and no one can convince anyone, the recording work will come to a standstill.

And moments like this, during the production of this album, happened not once or twice, but almost every song in the making, it happened.

The final solution can only be to follow the different ideas of the two of them, make a few more trial and error, and let the recorded effect speak.

This makes the whole production process fall into a long journey, and there is no end in sight.

The official production began in late June, and it was not until early November that Zhao Zhenghao received an invitation from the organizing committee of the American Music Awards, inviting him to participate in the 40th American Music Awards to be held in Los Angeles, USA on November 18, local time.

More than four months is not too long for other singers, and many singers' new album production often takes half a year, a year, or even two years to make!

However, the main reason why their production process has been indefinitely prolonged is the collection of songs, which sometimes take months or even longer to wait for a title song that can hold up the entire album.

And Zhao Zhenghao is different, all his songs are prepared in advance!

Yan Yu's entire career of more than 30 years is the first time he has encountered this situation, when he got the song list prepared by Zhao Zhenghao, his first reaction was to disbelief, and the second reaction was that the quality of these songs would not be high.

As a result, he was shocked!
