My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1272 Shan Tingting Part 3
"Director Zhang, you are our music director."

Zhang Xiyu gave a serious reminder.

Looking at Zhang Xiyu's expression, even Jiang Yiren could sense the seriousness in the Iron-Lung Princess's tone. Clearly, she was asking her husband to fulfill his work responsibilities.

"How have I treated you!?"

Zhang You didn't answer, but instead asked, "I'm willing to buy you the song 'Rolling the Deep,' Zhang Xiyu, do you know why? Because we both have the surname Zhang, we were one family five hundred years ago, but now you..."

"I spent a lot of money on that."

Zhang Xiyu said earnestly.

As for this song... its quality is undeniable. She recorded it herself a while ago, and even her manager said that with the quality of this song, it might even be able to make a splash in the international market.

But the price is already outrageously high.

In all her years in the industry, she's never seen a song so expensive that the original singer has to give Zhang You, the guy who owns the copyright, 20% of the net profit every time he sings it, and then he takes a huge cut when it's released on the iMusic platform.

Because of this song, Zhang You was like a giant leech in her mind. He not only sucked blood, but also burrowed into people's flesh to keep sucking blood. Just thinking about it made Zhang Xiyu feel like vomiting blood.

"that line"

Zhang You laughed and said, "Then I won't sell it. Anyway, I didn't get a single penny from you, not even a deposit. I'll sign a female singer who can sing English songs. Just based on the quality of 'Rolling the Deep,' I dare say whoever sings it will be a hit. If a top-tier singer sings it, they'll directly step into the near-top-tier category."

"Then...you go first."

This time.

Zhang Xiyu finally broke down.

She stopped reminding Zhang You of his role as the company's music director and instead smiled, saying, "If you really can't find anything suitable, could you help Shan Tingting create something? That song from earlier... seemed pretty good, but it didn't quite fit. Director Zhang, please help me out! You're the noble and great Director Zhang in our hearts, and I'm a fan of yours too."

You're lucky.

Zhang You didn't look at Zhang Xiyu, but instead smiled and said this to Shan Tingting.

In the entertainment industry, a place where people are often cold-hearted, Zhang Xiyu's selfless help to Shan Tingting is truly commendable. Why would anyone else care so much in private? Especially considering Zhang Xiyu has so many jobs.

This woman has many concerts and commercial performances. Sometimes, as long as the appearance fee offered by a small third-tier county is high, she doesn't mind making the trip. The fact that she still helps Shan Tingting so much despite being so busy proves that she really wants to be that talent scout.

"Um"

Shan Tingting nodded quickly.

Jiang Yiren didn't interrupt her husband's conversation with Zhang Xiyu. She generally wouldn't say a word when her husband was talking about serious matters with others, while the two girls were thinking about getting the recording equipment.

Noticing this, Jiang Yiren quickly pulled Xiao Zishan, who was about to reach out, back to her.

Recording studio equipment is very expensive.

Things like three-way monitor speakers, main monitor series, and other similar compressors, equalizers, reverb units, mastering processors, etc., if they are really broken, will cost at least tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and some of them are worth two or three million dollars.

Although it's not that easy to break, no matter what it is, once it's in the hands of children, it will break quickly and completely, no matter how hard it is to break. She dared not let the two girls mess around with the things here.

"Come on, I'll treat your family to dinner."

Since Zhang You had already agreed to help Shan Tingting find a suitable song, she couldn't say anything more. She couldn't possibly force Zhang You to do so!

If the company had a different music director, she might actually have done it. After all, the music director's job responsibilities include selecting songs for singers, considering musical style, sound quality, and genre. In addition, they also have to lead the album and arrangement teams, as well as the recording and mixing teams. In short, the music director is responsible for many aspects of a singer's career.

But Zhang You acts like a tyrant at the company.

Getting him to come out of his predicament is extremely difficult.

Moreover, not only is he unwilling to create songs for the company, but even if he does... he just sells the songs. But who can blame him when Chairman Lin invited him back? He's not the company's actual music director.

"No"

At this moment, Jiang Yiren spoke up, "My two sons are still at home! They've been out all day..."

As she spoke, Jiang Yiren glanced at her daughter. If it weren't for the girl slowing down the progress, she could have finished in the morning, but she still had to come back to record tomorrow.

"Why are you looking at me? Brother Xu praised me so many times today."

Xiao Zishan replied irritably.

Jiang Yiren turned to Zhang Xiyu and continued, "Why don't you take Shan Tingting to our house?"

Zhang Xiyu naturally couldn't go.

She learned that Zhang You was at the company after finishing a show in the afternoon, so she quickly called Shan Tingting to come over. In about two hours, she had a variety show concert to participate in.

Jiang Yiren lives at least 30 to 40 minutes away from the company, so the round trip would take more than an hour, and she definitely wouldn't have time to rush to the variety show concert afterwards.

So she refused outright. She did want Shan Tingting to go with her so she could spend more time with Zhang You and Jiang Yiren. After all, to succeed in the entertainment industry, you need to build up a network of connections. Even if you don't need many of those connections, they might be helpful in the future!

After leaving the company with Zhang You and his wife, as well as the two young girls, Zhang Xiyu, wearing a black down jacket, waved to them in the company garage before driving away with Shan Tingting.

"Sister Zhang"

Not long after the car drove off, Shan Tingting asked curiously, "Does Teacher Zhang You have a lot of songs?"

"Definitely."

About this matter.

There is a general consensus in the music industry that Zhang You has personally admitted this in an interview. He writes five songs a year, which adds up to more than fifty songs in ten years. Judging from the current situation, he has definitely written more than fifty songs.

Since there are really only fifty-odd songs, they should be almost gone by now. But Zhang You still occasionally brings out a new one, which means that fifty-odd songs is just a modest figure. Only Zhang You himself knows the actual number.

I heard that even Jiang Yiren doesn't know about it.

After a slight hesitation, Zhang Xiyu still spoke up, "I think you should have gone. It wouldn't hurt to get to know him better. Jiang Yiren is easy to get along with, and Zhang You... although his songs are indeed ridiculously expensive, to be fair, he's a pretty good person, unlike some famous artists who look down on others."

"My main problem is that I'm not familiar with him or Jiang Yiren."

Shan Tingting asked curiously, "Sister Zhang, I've heard that many big stars in the entertainment industry engage in unspoken rules, and only people in the industry know about them. Does the Heavenly King Zhang You like unspoken rules? Don't worry, I promise I won't tell anyone."

"please"

Zhang Xiyu couldn't help but laugh and said, "That man's wife is Jiang Yiren. Didn't you see her just now? Her figure... doesn't look like she's had three children. I don't know how she takes care of herself. I'll have to ask her sometime."
