My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1542 Setting Sail III

Li Xiaohong secretly made a prediction in her mind.

The songs "As You Wish" and "Legend" alone could bring Fei Fei at least hundreds of millions in revenue, and possibly even more, because songs can generate additional revenue beyond just selling them on the iMusic platform.

For example, appearance fees for commercial performances.

And the hugely popular songs cause the singer's fame to skyrocket, and the endorsement fees will also increase, etc. However, Feifei no longer accepts commercial performances and endorsements, so these two types can be ignored.

But this should also be taken into account in the value of the song.

So Zhang You really went all out this time. He didn't give money directly, but he gave two great songs... Judging from the quality of these two songs, Li Xiaohong is probably Zhang You's so-called "hidden gem".

It seems this guy even categorized his most treasured possessions into different levels.

The ordinary ones are the best-kept secrets, such as Jiang Yiren's "Encounter" and "Red Bean". The better ones are "Question", "When Love Has Become the Past", "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies", "Glorious Years" and "Next Year Today" and other songs he sang himself.

Even better would be a hit song like "Until the End of the World".

These two songs are already on par with "Until the End of the World." As for anything better... only Zhang You himself knows. There are definitely more, but nobody knows. It's said that Jiang Yiren has searched for them at home many times but hasn't been able to find them.

Obviously.

Zhang You is very shrewd. Although he seems foolish enough to entrust his assets to Jiang Yiren, he is actually quite clever. He handed over the assets, but kept the song copyrights in his own hands.

The couple is really going to have a fight.

Zhang You can immediately reclaim the singing rights to a series of songs, such as "Question," "Red Bean," and "I Don't Want to Be Like This," which have diminished Jiang Yiren's status as a top singer.

Don't underestimate the copyrights of these songs. Even if they have already been released, they can fetch a lot of money if sold out in one go. In particular, Zhang You not only holds the performance copyrights of Jiang Yiren's songs, but also all the performance copyrights of the songs he writes. Once the performance period is over, he can simply refuse to let people sing them.

When the original singers still wanted to sing those songs, they would try to buy the rights to perform the songs from him, and the price... was often in the tens of millions.

So even if Zhang You goes bankrupt again, he can still return to his peak just by relying on the copyrights to cover these songs. It is probably for this reason that many singers in the entertainment industry dare not fall out with him.

Besides that, I also have to lick this guy.

Just like when "Crazy Stone" was released, almost half of the singers and actors in the entertainment industry spontaneously helped promote it. Ma Chu promoted it for five days in a row, and I heard that he even rented out a theater to watch it. He really went to great lengths.

However, this is quite normal. With the copyright in Zhang You's hands, he has the lifeline of the singer's career. What kind of singer is a singer who doesn't have songs to sing? They are no different from ordinary people, and may even live worse lives than ordinary people, because ordinary people have very little social interaction, while artists are different.

For those with significant social obligations, the annual cost of such obligations alone can reach one or two million yuan.

Some have tens of millions.

If she really doesn't have any songs to sing, no matter how wealthy she is, she won't be able to hold on for long. If her bank savings fall below one million, she'll be in a panic. Even the copyright to her daughter Feifei's song "Gentle Breeze and Drizzle" is still in Zhang You's hands. So ever since this guy started writing songs and making money, it's not easy for her to be poor in this lifetime.

Selling a few copies would be enough to cover his expenses for the rest of his life. And this guy... is indeed shrewd and calculating, unlike other lyricists who sell all the copyrights of a song for a few thousand dollars, then regret it after the song becomes a hit, and then, years later, when they see the singers who sang their songs are worth hundreds of millions, they jump out to complain out of resentment.

What is the use.

If you're stupid, then you can't blame society for being so cunning.

Zhang You has been languishing at home for so many years, he knows he needs to control the copyright of his songs. With these two songs, Li Xiaohong felt much better. At least Zhang You had put in the effort, and it also meant that her Feifei hadn't let him use her songs for free and then have to pay for them. Li Xiaohong had also seen the song "Lover." It was a very good song, but it wasn't quite suitable for her Feifei; it was more suitable for Zhang You to sing himself. After looking at the lyrics of both songs, Li Xiaohong couldn't help but laugh and say, "Keep them. Release them whenever you want. Then your fans will know that even if you retire, you'll still be a well-deserved queen of the music scene."

"Are you happy now!?"

Liu Fei asked with a smile.

"What am I happy about!?"

Li Xiaohong replied irritably, "I'm doing all this for you."

As for asking Feifei to sing one of the three songs for Fan Zhenzhen, Li Xiaohong had no such idea whatsoever. Such a good song should only be sung by her Feifei.

If Fan Zhenzhen really wanted to sing well, she could just buy it from Zhang You. Because of Fei Fei, that guy really treated Fan Zhenzhen like a distant cousin and even wanted her to act in idol dramas. For this reason, Li Xiaohong only arranged very little work for Fan Zhenzhen before going abroad, and spent the rest of the time having her life assistant take Fan Zhenzhen to a training class run by an artist to learn acting.

Zhang You gave him the opportunity.

But if Fan Zhenzhen wants to develop in this direction, she still needs to work hard.

After all, if someone else is lifting you up, you have to be able to catch them yourself.

Once or twice is fine, but there will definitely not be a third time, because Zhang You's money doesn't come from thin air. Even if the two idol dramas don't make much money, as long as they don't lose money, Zhang You can still help Fan Zhenzhen. But if they really lose a lot, not only will she feel embarrassed, but even Fan Zhenzhen will feel embarrassed.

At this time.

Li Xiaohong, her face beaming with an barely suppressed smile, received a ringing phone.

She took it out and looked at it... The smile on her face vanished instantly, and she became extremely nervous. Even her heart rate dropped significantly in that instant.

I hesitated slightly.

Li Xiaohong didn't put the phone down, but placed it on the sofa. Just as she was about to turn around and go to the kitchen, the phone stopped ringing, and then a text message came in.

Li Xiaohong looked somewhat conflicted, but she still opened the message and started reading it.

"Stop playing dead, answer the phone. I know you're abroad right now. I won't ask where you're doing or how many children your Liu Fei has. I have serious business to discuss with you."

"..."

A flicker of panic and fear crossed Li Xiaohong's eyes.

After returning to China last year, she has been avoiding Han Da Zui, mainly because this woman is several times better at promoting artists than she is at criticizing them; she can hit the mark every time.

That mouth of hers looks like it's been blessed by a sorcerer all night.

Knowing how terrifying Han Dazui was, she didn't even tell Fan Zhenzhen about her trip abroad, only telling her not to go to Zhang You's concert. So her trip abroad recently was practically a secret operation.

Unexpectedly, Big Mouth still managed to obtain the relevant information.
