My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1274 Special Voices from Abroad
"Mr. Zhang"

Jiang Yiren thought her husband was too busy peeling shrimp for Li Ran and his daughter to notice what she had said, so she repeated, "Those lyrics I gave you tonight should be part of a complete song, right?"

"Zhang Zishan, eat the shrimp. Your dad peeled them for you with great effort. Look, Li Ran ate them all."

Zhang You spoke to Xiao Zishan.

"Dad, Mom, Li Ran, and I all sang this song we recorded today. Will we split the earnings equally among the three of us?"

Xiao Zishan looked at her father with expectant eyes, seemingly worried that he wouldn't agree. She then played the victim again, saying, "Li Ran and I don't have much savings yet, unlike my two younger brothers, who will definitely have more money than they can spend in the future."

Zhang You has not yet reacted.

Xiao Zishan's face fell.

She seemed to have hurt herself by what she was saying, and she even put down her chopsticks and wiped her eyes.

"For you guys"

Zhang You replied helplessly.

"Thank you dad"

Xiao Zishan burst into laughter without warning.

After dinner, Zhang You called Xu Qingya and learned that she was home that night, so he took the two girls over. Li Ran went to study, while Xiao Zishan went to play with Xiao Lanlan.

"I saw the trailer for 'Crazy Stone' last night and it cost me a fortune."

Upon seeing Zhang You bring his child over, Wang Yu, who had just finished dinner, made him a cup of water and then asked, "How much do you estimate this movie will gross at the box office?"

"What, does your company also have a movie releasing during this Spring Festival season?!"

Zhang You asked back.

"Two parts"

Wang Yu didn't hide anything, mainly because there was no need to. She directly said, "You have no idea how much pressure you're putting on other entertainment companies right now, especially with comedies. Our company's boss has been wanting to see the finished film of 'Crazy Stone' for a while, but your company's Chairman Lin refused."

"It's useless to look at it."

Zhang You replied, "Changing the release date used to work, but now that the film quality is poor, changing the release date is useless."

"That makes sense, but who wants to run into a blockbuster movie?"

Wang Yu replied with a smile.

"Personally, I think the current film market shouldn't be worried about encountering a blockbuster film, but rather about not having a single blockbuster film during important release periods. The emergence of a blockbuster film can revitalize the market and bring renewed interest to the film industry, instead of the current situation..."

talking.

Zhang You paused slightly and couldn't help but give a wry smile.

The film industry has been frighteningly sluggish these past two years. Several films were released around New Year's Day, one of which had fifty screenings in theaters and only grossed a total of over 8,000 yuan. Based on that, it means that only four or five people watched the film in each theater.

If the film flopped because it wasn't directed by a big-name director and didn't have any well-known actors, then that's understandable.

The other film, titled "Spring Light," is different. The director has gained international recognition for several dramas, and this is his first time tackling the theme of family affection.

The male lead is a very famous actor.

With such a combination of factors, the film only grossed a little over three million yuan in its first two days of release, and after more than ten days, it still hadn't reached ten million yuan. This result was not only a blow to filmmakers but also poured cold water on an already sluggish film market. Crucially, the film's production cost was nearly 120 million yuan.

The production company lost so much money they were practically broke. I heard that one of the investors thought the project had great potential and even mortgaged his house and car to allow the project to be completed.

The movie was filmed and released, but with such poor results... his wife would definitely divorce him.

"really"

Wang Yu nodded in agreement, then pressed on, "You still haven't said how much 'Crazy Stone' will gross at the box office!"

"You've been in this industry for so long, do you think I could predict that?! I predict four billion, do you think that's possible?!"

Zhang You smiled and asked in return.

Xu Qingya, who was teaching Li Ran to play the violin, couldn't help but turn her head to look at her older brother. This mouth... doesn't look that big, how come it's just like his wife's agent, Han Hui, so outspoken!?

However, after recalling the more than 2 billion yuan box office of "Goodbye Mr. Loser" and the 3.7 billion yuan box office of "The Truman Show," Xu Qingya changed her mind.

Others may be exaggerating.

But these words, coming from her older brother, undoubtedly carried a lot of weight.

After all, even her agent, Wang Yu, said that her older brother's reputation is quite strong. Unlike ordinary actors, her older brother built his popularity by starring in two high-quality films.

Nowadays, many moviegoers may not care about the cast or even watch the movie, but many are willing to pay to watch the scripts written by her older brother.

"you……"

Wang Yu was furious.

She remembered that she hadn't offended him during this time, but this guy just went and talked back to her directly.

Four billion... They really dare to make such a prediction.

The movie "The Truman Show" has been the box office ceiling for the past few years, and Wang Yu doesn't believe it can be broken at all.

Wang Yu believed the claim of 2 billion, and then she laughed. She stopped talking to Zhang You about box office figures and instead said with a smile, "By the way, didn't you bring back that piano from the Golden City Awards ceremony? And that one at your house… my Lanlan saw your daughter and Li Ran playing the piano and wants to play too."

Xu Qingya reached out and grasped Li Ran's hand that was holding the bow, and slowly pulled it back.

She heard what her own agent said; she's really shameless.

"You can find someone to move it!"

To her surprise, her older brother not only didn't refuse, but he also agreed very readily. Zhang Youchao and his daughter, who were sitting together doing a puzzle, glanced at it and laughed, "Find a good piano teacher to teach you properly. Wang Yu... let me remind you, now that you've brought her home, take good care of her. You can do anything on a whim, but not this."

moment.

Xu Qingya's impression of her cheap older brother improved considerably.

Her older brother used to have a terrible reputation, but now he seems quite great to her.

"You don't need to tell me that."

Wang Yu patted his chest and assured her, "Unless I die, but even if I do, I'll leave her some money. If my son isn't close to Xiao Lanlan, I'll have my Qingya be her guardian."

After saying that, Wang Yu chatted with Zhang You about another matter, saying, "That foreign show 'Special Voice' is incredibly popular, and many top international singers have participated. Haven't you ever thought about competing against them? If you win, you'll be a world superstar."
