My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1402 Your Son
Watching Zhang Xiaoyou and Simmons leave, Lin Bao'er smiled.

This guy is scared now... But what's the use of being scared? He chose this himself! He's an idol, and Zhang Xiaoyou is really fun. Anyway, Lin Bao'er knows that her life might really be over.

But it doesn’t matter.

Their first son will be born in a few months.

Lin Bao'er had already decided last night that she would raise this son as the third-generation successor of Tianyu Entertainment. As for the rest... if it was another son, she would give this youngest son a sum of cash so he could travel and have fun.

His aunt also loves traveling and sightseeing.

Let his aunt take him traveling all over the world.

As for the Simmons, Lin Bao'er didn't take it to heart. Since Zhang Xiaoyou became the company's music director, he has signed more than one or two artists for the company. He also pays more attention to the artists he brought with him who signed with the company.

In short, everything he presented was... his son's.

After calming down a bit, Lin Bao'er, who had been excited about the test results the night before, took an urgent document from her assistant and began to review it.

The year is completely over.

Today is February 15th, still in the first month of the lunar calendar. As of yesterday, "Crazy Stone" has been in theaters for thirteen days, and its total box office has exceeded three billion yuan.

Yesterday's daily box office has already fallen below 200 million yuan, which is normal. Compared with other movies released during the Spring Festival, "Crazy Stone" has performed quite well.

Many box office prediction agencies have now adjusted their total box office projections for this film. One agency predicts 4 billion, another 4.3 billion, and yet another seems to have given a figure of 4.5 billion.

The only certainty is that "Crazy Stone" has already surpassed 4 billion yuan in total box office revenue. It is estimated that because the film performed so well, the shareholders brought up the agreement previously signed between the company and Zhang Xiaoyou, and did not want to include the film in the list.

Because once it's included, even after the movie's run ends...

Zhang Xiaoyou will not only earn more than one billion from this movie, but also receive a share incentive agreement signed by shareholders before the new year, which is another considerable sum.

Including the Future Boys album.

In other words, Zhang Xiaoyou was able to complete the agreement he hadn't even had time to sign with just these two items. But to be fair, this guy is ridiculously strong when he gets serious.

Around noon, this guy received a message from Xu Lun, a singer signed to Youyi Studio, and returned to the company early. Otherwise, the two could have spent more time together.

After reading the document in her hand, Lin Bao'er signed it and handed it to Song Lan, who was waiting.

immediately.

She remembered something and asked, "Is Zhang Xiaoyou releasing an English song tonight?"

"should be"

Song Lan quickly replied, "According to the agreement he signed with the iMusic platform, tonight is the release date. However, whether it will actually be released is only known to Director Zhang and the iMusic platform. He is now a top musician that even the iMusic platform has to treat with great care."

"hehe"

Lin Bao'er chuckled twice.

Song Lan was right about this. It's rare for a music platform like iMusic to make concessions on revenue sharing, but Zhang Xiaoyou did. Moreover, at last year's Grammy Awards, the English song he sang directly should have been considered a leak according to the agreement. However, iMusic not only didn't sue him, but also took advantage of the Grammy hype to release the song online.

So whether or not it will be released depends mainly on Zhang Xiaoyou's wishes. If he wants to postpone it, AiMusic platform won't refuse, after all, just last year alone... not only did Tianyu Entertainment make a lot of money, but AiMusic platform also made a lot. Because it's not a listed company, it doesn't need to publish an annual report, but Lin Bao'er predicts it will definitely be substantial, especially since AiMusic platform is much larger than an entertainment company to begin with.

These days everyone says this industry makes money and that industry makes money, but in reality, the only ones who truly make money are the platforms. Once a platform is successfully built, it can recoup the money burned in the early stages within three to five years, and after that, it's all profit.

However, even if three or five entertainment companies joined forces, they couldn't build one themselves. The establishment of similar music platforms is usually done by forward-thinking bosses who started investing in this area when there was little awareness of music copyright. Just like movie websites, in the past, an entertainment company would sell the online streaming rights of several or even dozens of movies in a package.

In short, the price is incredibly cheap.

Back then, the internet was just emerging, and few people saw the market potential in this area. In fact... Lin Bao'er had heard her father say that many people thought the boss who bought the online streaming rights to movies was an idiot.

When selling them, they were afraid that no one would want them, so the prices were lower and lower.

The broadcasting rights for a movie can be sold for a few hundred or a thousand dollars, or even ten or twenty thousand dollars for a slightly higher price.

then.

As times change, those who were once fools have become real financial tycoons.

The boss who laughed at others for being foolish back then has gradually fallen on hard times.

So now, not only are they unable to afford to build online movie and video platforms, but they also can't afford to build music platforms. In the past, hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars could produce results, but now it's impossible to get any effect without spending hundreds of millions.

This is evident in the fact that iMusic has opened up overseas channels.

The money that music platforms make in China is spent overseas, mainly to buy song streaming rights. For a music platform to attract fans to use the app, its music library needs to have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of songs, including all the songs sung by a single artist.

The songs span such a long period of time that iMusic's overseas channels have consistently been operating at a loss due to the cost of purchasing the song playback rights.

However, if successful, the market value of iMusic will become very high, just like the valuation of iMusic in China, which is now over 200 billion, several times higher than Tianyu Entertainment.

After Song Lan left her office, Lin Bao'er was busy for a while. Around four o'clock, she felt her buttocks were getting numb from sitting, so she took her teacup and went to stand in front of the French windows.

The sun is shining brightly outside today.

Spring began on February 5th this year, and today is February 15th. It's estimated that it will be cold for another month or so. That's good, though. When her son is born, it should be during the most suitable period of the year in terms of temperature, which should make him easier to take care of.

After finishing the herbal tea in her cup, Lin Bao'er put the cup back on her desk and did a few stretching exercises. Only then did she feel a little better, as her body, which had been a little stiff from sitting for so long, felt better.

Before the Lunar New Year, she stopped her morning runs because she had too many things to deal with and it was too cold outside. She didn't resume them after the New Year either. Her occasional exercise was when Zhang Xiaoyou came to the company, and she would go to his home, which was not far from the company, with him at noon.

Judging from the feedback from my body, I need to continue my morning runs.

Otherwise, after a while, Zhang Xiaoyou might start to dislike it.

At noon.

This guy said she was fat.

And that bastard even called her Lin Xiaopang.
