Chapter 119: American Music Awards
The songs selected by Zhao Zhenghao for the second regular solo studio album, each one is a classic, and every single one can support an album!
So many classics have been included in one album, so that Yan Yu, who has been mixed in the circle for more than 30 years and is well-informed, has a feeling of tyranny and shameless waste.
Originally, he wanted to persuade Zhao Zhenghao to take out a few songs from this song list for the future, but he was frightened by Zhao Zhenghao's other song list, and immediately took back what he had already said.
The songs on the other playlist are no worse than those included in this album!
Yan Yu admired Zhao Zhenghao's creative ability so much that he wanted to open his head to see what kind of structure it was, how it was different from others, and how he could create so many songs in such a short time!
What's even more rare is that these songs are also classics!
It's horrible!
Other singers have a headache because they don't have good songs to sing, but Zhao Zhenghao has a headache, but he can't run out of good songs!
If others know about this, they have to send bullets to Zhao Zhenghao - he doesn't plan to leave a way for other singers to live!
At a certain moment, Yan Yu had an idea to steal another song list of Zhao Zhenghao, or buy it, and then sell it to other singers, so I don't know how many kings and queens can be created for the music circle of the Dragon Kingdom!

The American Music Awards, along with the Grammys and the Billboard Music Awards, are known as the three major music awards in the United States, and although their international influence is slightly inferior to the Grammys, they are more authoritative in some aspects.
The rules of the American Music Awards, which are completely different from those of the Grammys, use the method of audience voting to determine the major awards, so they are considered to be the most representative of the mainstream music market as a commercial indicator.
This time, Zhao Zhenghao won a total of four nominations in this year's American Music Awards with the albums "Billie Jean", "It's My Life" and "Dangerous", as well as "No Place for Self-Respect", namely "Best Newcomer", "Best Pop/Rock Male Singer", "Best Pop/Rock Album", and "Best Dragon Chinese Singer"!
In the competition for the first three mainstream awards, Zhao Zhenghao's advantage is not obvious, but in the selection of "Best Dragon Chinese Singer", Zhao Zhenghao has almost no opponents.
Although among the competitors, there are international superstars like An Shuyi, who have been famous for a long time, and Cao Ningyuan, a new king who has been affirmed by the Grammy Award, but in terms of fame among American fans, no one can compare to Zhao Zhenghao, who has become popular all over North America and even the world with the song "Billie Jean"!
The live performance MV of "Billie Jean" is still at the top of the MV hit list of the largest video website in the United States, and it is the most popular MV of the year, with 1 billion on-demand views!
In addition, video clips related to "Billie Jean", that is, related to "Space Step", are still emerging in an endless stream on major video websites in the United States, so to speak, where there are people, there is "Space Step"!
And those who know the "space step" will naturally know its originator Zhao Zhenghao!
Therefore, Zhao Zhenghao is now the most well-known Dragon Country in the United States!
This gave him a great head start in the audience voting selection.
It's a pity that the American Music Awards, the audience voting channel, is only open to the United States and the two countries bordering it, Canada, not even the traditional English-speaking regions of the United Kingdom and Australia, let alone the Dragon Country.
If its audience voting channel is open to fans of Dragon Country, then with Zhao Zhenghao's current popularity in Dragon Country, it is not without opportunities in the selection of the three mainstream awards shortlisted.
The fan base of the Dragon Country is larger than that of the entire North America, and even the entire traditional English-speaking region, if the fans of the Dragon Country are allowed to exert their own energy, the fans in other regions are scum!
Although the chances of winning in the competition for mainstream awards are small, and the influence of the American Music Awards in the Dragon Country is inferior to the Grammy Awards, even if it wins its "Best Dragon Chinese Singer", it cannot make up for the last board of Zhao Zhenghao's crowning of the king, but Zhao Zhenghao still decided to attend the award ceremony of this American Music Awards in person, and set the release time of his second solo album on the day of the end of this American Music Awards ceremony.
One of the purposes of Zhao Zhenghao's trip is to build momentum for the 55th Grammy Awards, which is about to enter the nomination stage!
Since the Chinese people only recognize the Grammy Awards, Zhao Zhenghao can only work hard to meet the expectations of the Chinese people and achieve corresponding results at the Grammy Awards.
After receiving the invitation letter for the American Music Awards, the official bib of "Zhenghao Studio" issued an announcement for this purpose, announcing the good news to domestic fans, and also asking everyone to do their part to Zhao Zhenghao winning the award.
Although the audience voting channel for the American Music Awards is not open to regions outside the North American continent, in the current international form, there are still many ways for interested Dragon State fans to do their part for their idols.
……
On November 18, 2012, at 7:30 p.m. Los Angeles time, the 40th American Music Awards ceremony kicked off on time at the Nokia Center in Los Angeles.
In the previous red carpet session, Zhao Zhenghao received no less cheers than any American local star present, showing his popularity among American fans, which made Zhao Zhenghao slightly more optimistic about the prospects of the other three mainstream awards shortlisted.
To be honest, in the list of nominees for this year's American Music Awards, although there are several songs that sell no worse than "Billie Jean" in North America, they are far from "Billie Jean" in terms of influence.
With Zhao Zhenghao's creative "Space Step", the influence of "Billie Jean" has spread to every corner of the world, as long as you like music and dance, there is no one who does not know this song.
To achieve such an influential song, not to mention this year's American Music Awards, even in the entire history of American music, it is also one of the few.
It's a pity that the awards of the American Music Awards are all based on people and albums, and there are no corresponding awards for singles, otherwise, "Billie Jean" would definitely be able to book several awards!
"Billie Jean" is widely recognized as a big hit to win "Song of the Year" at next year's 55th Grammy Awards!
From the song to the people, Zhao Zhenghao's identity as a native of the dragon has pulled a lot of backstage, which makes him not very optimistic about the competition for mainstream awards.
Sure enough, after Zhao Zhenghao successfully won the trophy of "Best Dragon Chinese Singer" at this year's American Music Awards, he lost the next competition for "Best Pop/Rock Male Singer" and "Best Pop/Rock Album".
