Chapter 105 What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger

"My dear friends, your old friend Jerry sends you his greetings!"

"I'm sure you've all heard about Lyon's upcoming world tour, so today I'd like to bring you the last song from his new album, "Let It Go."

“另外说一句，我很好奇为什么里昂新专辑里面的歌，在公告牌上只位列2、3、6、7、11、56？《stronger》这首歌在我们电台点播率可不低啊，怎么卡在第2名都7周了，还是上不去冠军的位置呢？”

"Oh, by the way, finally, I hope everyone can grab tickets for Lyon's global tour!"

The New York MetLife Stadium, the venue for the Super Bowl in the United States, is a super-large stadium that can accommodate more than 8 spectators.

Of course, the concert will definitely have to give up some seats where you can only see the back of the stage.

But even if these seats are given up, the concert can still accommodate nearly 7 fans.

Zhang Chen chose the United States as the first stop for his concert, and he also had his own considerations.

Under normal circumstances, he should start his concert in China, then move on to Southeast Asia, Europe, and finally to North America.

However, considering that English albums have been suppressed on the Billboard charts for a long time during this period, Warner felt it necessary to add fuel to the fire, and Zhang Chen also thought that this idea was feasible.

So this time the global tour will start from North America, Europe, Southeast Asia and then go all the way to China.

At 5 pm, groups of fans began to pour into the concert entrance.

Among them, there are also media reporters reporting on this.

One of the reporters stopped a fan who was about to queue up.

"Ma'am, are you a fan of Leon?"

The young lady looked at the reporter strangely, as if she was looking at a fool. If she was not a fan of Lyon, why would she come to his concert?
"Oh, excuse me ma'am, why did you come to his concert?" The reporter also saw the other party's eyes and felt that the previous question was a bit stupid, so he changed to a relatively less stupid question.

"Because Leon is handsome and sings well. Billboard went too far this time. How could they bully him like this? As a sister, I must support Leon!" It turned out that she was a fan of Zhang Chen's sister.

"Do you think Lyon was treated unfairly on Billboard?" The reporter felt he had hit upon the topic.

"Of course, all the songs in Leon's new album are in the top ten, but they are suppressed below the champion. This is too dirty. As his fan, I must stand up and support him!"

Now that all the songs from the album "Stronger" have been released, Zhang Chen and Warner both know that Billboard is playing tricks, so they began to shift the focus of the charts to each song.

So now there is a strange spectacle on the billboard:
No.1 Maria Maria——Santana

No.2 "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" - Leon Zhang

No.3《Rolling In The Deep》--Leon Zhang

No.4 "Let it go" - Leon Zhang

No.5《Apologize》--Leon Zhang

That’s right, Santana also released an album in April this year, and one of the songs in the album directly topped the Billboard charts, overwhelming all the songs in Zhang Chen’s album.

In order to fight back, Warner and Zhang Chen also spent money to push the charts, so that North American music radio stations have been filled with songs from Zhang Chen's new album for a while. Occasionally, a few songs from other singers would pop up, but under Zhang Chen's explosive financial offensive and the brainwashing of high-quality hits, other singers could only watch Zhang Chen dominate the charts.

Can't the billboard be more subtle?
They want to too, but apart from Zhang Chen's songs, you can't hear any other singers' songs during this period. How can they rank?

However, in order to suppress Zhang Chen's momentum, they could only make several of Zhang Chen's songs ranked below Santana's band, which was an act of covering one's ears and stealing the bell. Time passed by minute by minute.
At 6: p.m. New York time, "Zhang Chen Global Tour Concert - New York Stop" officially begins!
Under the anticipation of all the fans at the scene, the dim stage suddenly became as bright as day. Invited by Warner, "Lincoln Park" appeared on the stage!

Linkin Park will also release an album in the second half of this year. Although they debuted a year earlier than Zhang Chen, they are still not well-known. Warner wants to sign them, so this time they arranged for them to perform at Zhang Chen's first concert to boost their reputation.

"Ah~~~" With the accompaniment of Linkin Park, the fans are full of anticipation.

Zhang Chen's figure appeared from the large screen divided into two in the center of the stage. Today, Zhang Chen was dressed in a silver sequined stage costume, with a half-slicked-back hairstyle and half bangs, giving him a kind of cool and handsome look.

Along with it comes his singing:
“You know the bed feels warmer
(You know the warmth in the bed)

Sleeping here alone
(It's the same if you sleep here alone)
You know my dream in colour
(You know my colorful dreams)

"

The reason for using the song "Stronger" as the opening is very simple, just like the name of the song, what doesn't kill me makes me stronger!

Isn't the Grammys going to put me on the spot?
Isn't Billboard trying to suppress the charts?

Press my album with Santana's new song?
Can he suppress it?

Let’s see who is stronger after tonight!
“And do the things I want
(I do what I want to do)

You think you got the best of me
(You think you see the best of me)
"

I just want to make money and enjoy life quietly in this world. Do you think you have seen my limits?
"Think you had the last laugh
(Think you got the last laugh)
Bet you think that everything good is gone
(I bet you feel like all good things are gone)
Think you left me broken down
(You thought you broke me)
Think that I'd runaway
(Think I'll run back)

Baby you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong
(You think you know who I am, you are very wrong)"

Since last year, I have been suppressed in both open and covert ways, and it's not just me who is being suppressed. Do you think I was escaping by disappearing for half a year?

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
(What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!)

Stand a little taller
(Stand higher)

"

I said "you", but I meant "me". What doesn't kill me only makes me stronger!
I will stand higher and wait for you!

Zhang Chen closed his eyes at the beginning. He needed emotion and needed to sing the song with momentum and frustration.

So at this moment, I really put myself in the psychological state of being targeted and suppressed by my opponent.

He needs emotional involvement.

At the same time, he also deleted and modified some of the lyrics. Every line of the lyrics pointed explicitly or implicitly to the incident in which he was suppressed from the charts some time ago.

As his emotions continued to immerse himself in the song, his voice became increasingly high-pitched, and all the fans at the scene couldn't help but get involved in the song.

They followed Zhang Chen's singing and started singing along at the same time.

　This is not about padding the word count in the lyrics, so it doesn’t count, right?

　　I need to use lyrics to stir up emotions, please forgive me

　　The concert has started, where are everyone’s tickets?
