My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1071 Justice Seven

Xu Wei reluctantly took out his phone and showed Zhang You the comments his fans had made about him, pleadingly saying, "Director, you even helped Fan Zhenzhen, why can't you help me?!"

How could I not help you?

Zhang You's face darkened, and he said, "I've discovered that you've completely lost your conscience. I was the one who approved the promotional budget for your album. If it weren't for my special approval, you would have released the album without any promotion."

Done.

Zhang You looked at the comments section of Xu Wei's album.

I must say, it's quite interesting.

"Xu Wei is truly talented to be embroiled in plagiarism controversy right after releasing his first album."

"I heard this guy is Zhang You's assistant, and Zhang You even wrote 'Over the Top' for him on the album. But apart from that song, every single one of Xu Wei's songs has a template. Doesn't Zhang You ever listen to them?!"

"This borrows from Jolyne's 'Heroic Spirits,' and it seems this guy has a pretty good relationship with Jolyne. This is taking advantage of someone he knows well!"

"The song plagiarized Jiang Yiren's 'I Don't Want It to Be Like This' so obviously, isn't Zhang You planning to sue them?!"

"What a fine new tailor!"

......

I casually browsed through them for a while.

Zhang You then tossed the phone to Xu Wei.

"Director, could you please write another song for me?"

Xu Wei persisted.

How much was your salary last month?!

Zhang You neither nodded nor shook his head, but instead asked another question.

"Twenty-two thousand"

Xu Wei replied.

"According to income data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, only 6% of the population earns more than 5,000 yuan a month, and less than 8 million people earn more than 10,000 yuan a month, while your monthly salary is just over 20,000 yuan..."

Zhang You paused for a moment, then laughed, "You're already a dragon among men, Xu Wei. It's not that I'm trying to discourage you, but I really don't understand why you insist on getting into the entertainment industry. You said several of your fellow trainees have become famous, but I think there are far more who haven't. To put it bluntly, with that 20,000+ yuan a month, do you think you're getting a good deal? If I don't come to the company, you're fine. But if you do come, all you do is pour me a glass of water. And don't think I don't know. A while ago, you dragged Xu Lun out for a nighttime car race. If I mention that, don't blame me for not warning you. If I find out again, I won't let you off the hook."

"Director, I promise I won't do it again, please help me! I really want to be famous."

Xu Wei pleaded.

"Aren't you already famous? People are already calling you the new tailor!"

Zhang You laughed and said, "Alright, it's no use begging me. If you want to become famous, you have to rely on yourself. If it doesn't work, you can go back to the tailoring shop..." Before he could finish speaking, Zhang You's phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Zhang Xiyu calling.

"I heard the director came to the company. Perfect timing, I wanted to finish recording the English songs you sold me. I'm in the recording studio now."

Zhang Xiyu spoke first.

"Coming right away"

Zhang You agreed.

Standing up from his chair, Zhang You walked outside. As he passed Xu Wei, he stopped, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "If you want to copy a song, it doesn't necessarily have to be in Chinese. Songs from Japan or Korea are fine. Just express your ideas in words based on the melody, and then sing it the way the original singer did. Remember, this is the last time I'll teach you. Once you've expressed it in words, find someone to compose the music for you, and that's a solid original. Copying someone else's melody and lyrics is the lowest level of plagiarism. The high-level way is to find the best-selling songs from abroad, find the right words to express them, and then sing them the way the original singer did. Not only is it easier to become popular, but it also saves time and effort. Even if you're discovered, you can say, 'The best creations are all about mutual understanding,' and that adds an artistic element, right?"

Done.

Zhang You then left the office.

"Director!" Xu Wei couldn't help but call out.

"Don't be too moved. Your master has guided you through the initial steps, but the rest is up to you. If you still can't succeed, then it just means you're not suited for this job."

Zhang You's voice came.

Xu Wei took a deep breath.

He could clearly sense that even though Director Zhang said he wouldn't help him, he was actually helping him. Sure enough, besides being a superstar and a top musician, Director Zhang was also very righteous.

Zhang You ignored Xu Wei's reaction. He had already taught him everything he could, and if it still didn't work, it proved that the kid didn't have the skills of a tailor.

Zhang You knew very well that once the boy fulfilled the agreement between him and Lin Bao'er as expected, and he left Tianyu Entertainment, Xu Wei's assistant position would no longer be necessary.

They will definitely be transferred to another department, and their salary and benefits will certainly not be very high.

As for the other music director... they're definitely hiring, they can't keep Xu Wei around, so let's cherish what we have!
When I arrived at the company's recording studio, Zhang Xiyu was already waiting for me.

"Long time no see, classical music master"

Zhang Xiyu greeted him with a smile.

You're exaggerating a bit.

Zhang You sighed.

He knew that Zhang Xiyu had just finished a concert a few days ago, and there were three more in October, and a few more in November. In short, this woman was frighteningly career-driven.

If the money is meant to be spent, that makes sense, but Zhang You never saw her wearing any expensive jewelry.

"Just trying to make ends meet, Director."

Zhang Xiyu laughed and said, "Unlike you, you made so much money from a movie, and over 60 million from a concert with 3,000 people. If I could make that much from a single concert, I definitely wouldn't work so hard."

"I should just find a rich man."

Zhang You joked.

"It's better to rely on yourself than on others. Besides, who knows if this tycoon is truly wealthy or just a fake? Scammers these days are incredibly resourceful. If you don't have a keen eye, you might not only fail to marry into a wealthy family but also end up losing all the money you've earned."

Zhang Xiyu rubbed her head and said.

"That's true"

Zhang You smiled in agreement.

After chatting for a few more minutes, the two got down to work.

As Adele's signature song, "Rolling in the Deep" is extremely difficult to sing. However, Zhang You had heard the original version, so he was able to correct any problems that arose during Zhang Xiyu's recording.

Compared to Adele's husky voice, Zhang Xiyu's voice is undoubtedly much clearer, while Adele's voice is also known as "the big voice of Europe and America" ​​and "a timbre monster".

In this respect, Zhang Xiyu is not comparable to Adele, but in terms of high notes, Zhang Xiyu's timbre is more penetrating.

End of the morning.

The song was not finished being recorded.

The two went out to eat, and afterwards, Zhang You and Zhang Xiyu got busy again. It wasn't until Assistant Song called to say that the foreign film distributors had arrived that Zhang You stopped what he was doing and went into the screening room.

The moment I saw Lin Bao'er, I noticed that she opened her mouth, and judging from the shape of her mouth, it should be "I miss you".

Zhang You immediately returned her a smile.
