My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1030 Soaring
Surprisingly, it was on the first day of the album "Soaring" that the album was released.

The album didn't make it onto the trending charts, but Zhang You was criticized by the media and fans and ended up trending on social media.

"The Heavenly King Zhang You's Talent Has Run Dry"

"From 'Goodbye Kiss' to 'Autumn's Deepening,' and then to 'Soaring,' it took less than three months for Zhang You to go from a lyricist master to a pop song master."

"From this day forward, the music scene will never again see the brilliantly talented King of Pop, Zhang You."

Several trending topics are about Zhang You, and there is a constant stream of criticism online regarding the album "Soaring," but no one seems to be criticizing Tang Yao and Ye Zi, the two original singers.

Everyone was focused on criticizing Zhang You.

However, this is inevitable. After all, he is very famous. Criticizing him generates traffic. Criticizing a new group only brings fame to the two of them, and the critics themselves gain nothing.

So everyone clearly understands what's important and what's not, and so... in a short time, everyone, regardless of their background, started criticizing Zhang You, relying solely on one picture and making up all the content.

"Wake up, Zhang You! I know 'Goodbye Mr. Loser' made you a lot of money, but can't you just write so many mindless pop songs as a reward for yourself? Or have you really run out of ideas?!"

This is content posted by an unknown blogger on a short video platform.

He was saying that there was a photo of Zhang Youyi right next to him.

"Autumn's Deepening is the peak of his singing career, and Kiss Goodbye is the peak of his pop music career. With these two peaks, Zhang You tells everyone that what follows is all low points."

Just like this blogger.

Another person, holding a photo of Zhang You, started talking about this and that.

Even Zhang You himself was bewildered by this situation. You should know that before releasing this album, he listened to every song himself and found that it was no less than Phoenix Legend's before choosing to release it.

Even before the release, Zhang You had imagined himself counting money until his hands cramped, but he never expected it to turn out like this. However, Zhang You quickly realized what was going on.

Ultimately... although his participation in the second season of "Special Voice" and the songs he sold didn't have much artistic merit, they weren't unsophisticated either. It's no wonder that fans couldn't accept the fact that he suddenly wrote so many songs with such a high level of unsophistication.

Previously, his songs were neither elegant nor cliché. This album, "Soaring," is full of clichés, and even though the media has such a review, some fans online agree and others disagree.

In just one morning, the album "Soaring" generated polarized opinions.

"I think it sounds great! 'From afar, the wind sings of the vast sky,' it's so beautiful! Why is everyone criticizing it like this!?"

"If it were a different lyricist and composer, it would be understandable, but these songs were all written by Zhang You. How could he... how could he possibly... it's incredibly cheesy!"

"Stop criticizing Zhang You. It's good enough that he can even write. He made so much money with 'Goodbye Mr. Loser,' it's already a miracle he hasn't retired."

"I don't know what you guys are complaining about. I bought the whole album, and when I listened to it, my mom listened to it too, and she thought it was great."

"I don't like Zhang You's other songs, but I really like 'Above the Moon' from this album, especially October Sky's performance. The female vocals carry the boldness of the grasslands, while the male vocals are the perfect finishing touch."

"Thank goodness it's not a record, otherwise I would have bought it and thrown it in Zhang You's face. I saw the promotion a few days ago, saying that it was meticulously crafted by top musician Zhang You, and this is the stuff he produced. I thought it was another album of the quality of 'Love Future'!"

......

They may argue, and they may curse.

As more and more people joined the campaign against Zhang You, album sales actually climbed steadily. From midnight to 8 a.m., the average number of album purchases exceeded 85, and by 1 p.m., it had surpassed 1.3 million.

What's most bizarre is this album... The number of copies sold for each song doesn't differ by more than 200,000. In other words, fans who liked "Free Flying" also liked "Above the Moon," and then found that "Temptation of the Man" was also good, so they bought them all.

This caused Zhang You, who originally planned to explain on his official WeChat account, to be attacked by the media and fans. The English version of "Kiss Goodbye" had already been sent to the iMusic platform, but the platform felt that the song had the potential to become a hit, so they decided to save it for release during Christmas in other countries.

Christmas is a time for big movie releases abroad, so what does it have to do with song releases? But since the iMusic platform insisted on doing it this way, Zhang You went along with it, but they made him re-record an English song.

It's simply a matter of what happened before and after.

Zhang You didn't refuse.

They release an English song every two months, all under an agreement with the iMusic platform. They'll record another one, plus an English version of "Kiss Goodbye".

This means he completed the agreement with the iMusic platform before the end of the year.

So it was just a matter of reversing the order of the release and the timing of the songs. After recording "Goodbye Kiss," he ran back to the company, and Lin Bao'er's gaze towards him became exceptionally... profound.

However, Bao'er seems to have been sick for a few days.

Zhang You asked about the specific illness, but Lin Bao'er retorted, so he didn't ask any further.

Within 24 hours, the album "Soaring" sold a staggering 1.7 million copies, proving the adage that the more it sells, the more popular it is. Judging from the sales figures on the first day, surpassing the sales of Xu Lun's debut album is no problem.

As for October Band's manager, it was Li Xin who helped introduce her. The two used to work in the same company as middle managers. Later, the company boss lost a lot of money gambling and went bankrupt. Like Li Xin, she also lost her job. When Li Xin found her, she was about to become a manager at a company through a friend's introduction.

Li Xin didn't talk to her for long before she agreed to come.

It's possible that Li Xin told me that after helping Xu Lun secure an endorsement, her agent alone received hundreds of thousands in commission. Nothing is more convincing than money.

The main issue is that even if you become a manager in a company, it's okay for large companies where the salary won't be too low, but it's a different story for small and medium-sized enterprises, especially small companies where a manager can only earn a little over 10,000 yuan a year at most, and for slightly larger companies, it's only around 300,000 yuan a year.

There's no comparison between them and artist managers.

Jiang Yiren did meet with this woman named Wei Wei once, but Zhang You didn't go. Since Li Xin introduced her, they would give her a try first. If her business skills were good, they would continue to let her serve as the agent; if not, they would simply change her agent.

Youyi Studio isn't some kind of guaranteed job.

The next day, perhaps due to the huge buzz generated by "Soaring" on the first day, sales increased significantly again, by an additional 300,000, reaching as many as 2 million.

On the third day, many people were surprised to find that the elderly people dancing in the square had changed their usual music.

The high-pitched and clear singing voice echoed in the square.

This trend, like a virus, began to spread at an extremely rapid pace.
