Chapter 162: They Don't Care About Us
Cho Jung-ho agreed to conduct the second round of the "Dangerous Journey" world tour, and the biggest purpose was to maintain his hard-won popularity!
Up to now, Zhao Zhenghao's second solo studio album has been officially released for a year, and the cumulative global sales of physical CDs have reached 70 million copies, becoming the best-selling album in the past decade!
Driven by the popularity of the "Dangerous Journey" world tour, although it has been on the market for a year, the sales of this album still remain at a satisfactory level, especially wherever Cho Zhenghao goes, the local album sales will usher in a wave of strong upturn.
If this sales continue, this album is expected to become the first album in history to exceed 100 million in physical sales!
If this achievement can be achieved, then Zhao Zhenghao's position as an international superstar will be more stable!
In addition, it will also help to maintain his existing popularity, and when "A Chinese Ghost Story" is completed and ready to enter theaters and be reviewed by fans.
The "Zhenghao Studio", which lacks connections and is weak in the film and television industry, can only rely on Zhao Zhenghao's popularity if it wants to open up the situation for "A Chinese Ghost Story"!
The higher Zhao Zhenghao's popularity, the easier the process of finding a publisher, and the more confident he can be when it comes to the sharing ratio.
There is no way, although "Zhenghao Studio" is now far behind small companies of the same size in terms of profitability, and compared with those giants in the industry, it is not much inferior, but in terms of talent reserves, it is far inferior to those predecessors in the industry.
So far, only Zhao Zhenghao has supported the façade alone, and the "heroic" band, which has debuted alone, is also popular, but its influence is limited to the rock circle, and it can not provide much help to Zhao Zhenghao.
In Zhao Zhenghao's second solo album, although there is not much content about Dragon Country Rock, Zhao Zhenghao's momentum in the Dragon Kingdom rock circle has not decreased much, and he is still the hottest person in the Dragon Kingdom rock circle in the past two years!
It's just that there is too little water in the pool of the Dragon Kingdom rock circle, and he can't fit the real dragon Zhao Zhenghao, forcing him to move closer to the mainstream music circle, which is no way to do it.
However, as long as it is on the scene, anyone who has watched Zhao Zhenghao's concert can feel that rock and roll has been deeply rooted in Zhao Zhenghao's blood.
Especially after unlocking the guitar playing technique at the American Music Awards ceremony, Zhao Zhenghao added two guitar solo tracks to the subsequent concerts as a spice between concert programs, and also to save some physical energy.
But later, the popularity of his guitar solo performances slowly became second only to those songs with wonderful dance blessings, and some fans even built a tall building under his scarf and strongly demanded him to release a guitar solo album!
As an indispensable part of rock music, the guitar is often a point that ignites the passion of music fans when it comes to SOLO!
The guitar solo repertoire played by Zhao Zhenghao is all borrowed from the classic works of the top guitar masters in the previous life, and it is not surprising that they are sought after by so many fans.
In the program list of the second round of the "Dangerous Journey" world tour, Cho Jung-ho not only increased the number of guitar solo tracks to three, but also added two piano solo tracks, showing his versatile side in front of fans, which was greatly welcomed.
While increasing the number of instrumental solos, the dance performance was correspondingly reduced, and instead of performing all three of the most classic and popular songs in a concert, "Billie Jean", "Thriller" and "Smooth Criminal", one or two of them would be selectively performed.
In this way, it will save a lot of energy for Zhao Zhenghao, so that he can support the second round of the world tour that lasts longer and has more performances.
Fans don't have any big opinions on this adjustment, they went to the scene to watch Zhao Zhenghao's concert, more to experience the atmosphere of the scene, and they didn't pay much attention to what Zhao Zhenghao performed on the stage.
Moreover, far away from the stage, although there is a live broadcast on the big screen, it is difficult to see the subtleties of Zhao Zhenghao's dance, and the patrons cheered and shouted.
This made the process of the second round of the "Dangerous Journey" world tour much smoother than the first round, reducing the choreography of difficult dances, not only Zhao Zhenghao himself, but also the other staff of the concert were also much easier.
……
When Zhao Zhenghao set foot on Brazilian soil again, the agreement he had reached with Brazil had already been implemented, and the two music videos filmed in Brazil, including a song specially composed for the protection of the Amazon rainforest, were released in the world at this time.
The first release was filmed in the slums of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and tens of thousands of local residents of the slums of Rio de Janeiro were invited to star in the MV "They Don't Care About Us".
This song, Cho Jeong-ho, was originally intended to be used as a promotional song for the "Dangerous Journey" world tour, and was released before the concert began.
However, at that time, Zhao Zhenghao's popularity was enough to support a world tour, and there was no need to release new songs to boost.
Moreover, the lyrics of this song have quite a lot of powerful content, and Zhao Zhenghao originally planned to use it to complain about the unfair treatment he received from the Grammy Awards organizing committee.
When the general contractor of the "Dangerous Journey" world tour saw the song, he was worried that its lyrics would be misinterpreted by those who had intentions, and strongly advised Cho Jung-ho to delay its release, and it was better not to have a direct relationship with his world tour.
Zhao Zhenghao listened to this opinion, and did not release the song at that time, and it has been delayed until now that it has been released.
Now, Zhao Zhenghao's identity is very different from a year ago, and when this song is released again, although the possibility that the lyrics are misinterpreted still exists, it will no longer affect the overall situation, and more people will only regard it as a song with social significance.
In addition, when the song was released, Zhao Zhenghao also announced on his neck and Twitter that all the proceeds of the song would be used to improve the living conditions of the slum residents of Rio de Janeiro, and put on a bulletproof coat for the song, so that even if someone wanted to attack him, he could not find a breakthrough.
Zhao Zhenghao's fans don't care so much, and they don't care much about the practical significance contained in the lyrics of this song, as long as it sounds good!
