My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1549 Departure Ten

Zhang You smiled and nodded.

Both Binbu and Li Zhen drew songs by Katie, one pop and one rock. Zhang You noticed that Binbu's expression changed after seeing that the song he drew was rock.

This style is so difficult that even Zhang You might not be able to handle it well, let alone someone like Binbu who is good at lyrical songs. Foreign rock is different from domestic rock. Domestic rock focuses more on reflection on reality and expression of the emotions of the times, while foreign rock is derived from the blues roots. This style of rock is a fusion of heavy metal, punk, and alternative.

Zhang You doesn't know how well Kai Di's song is selling.

Judging from her hoarse voice, she doesn't seem to be well-suited to this style of song.

Zhang You didn't want to delve into the specifics.

From the moment they met, the woman was extremely cold to him. Zhang You didn't remember offending her, so her coldness... probably still stemmed from her thinking of him as a top international female singer and not taking him, a nobody, seriously.

After drawing the song.

They re-recorded the parts that weren't quite right, and after that, the seven singers went to the CB TV studio to shoot promotional posters.

This was originally just a normal filming session.

As the most popular contestant on "Voices Abroad," Taylor should rightfully stand in the center, while Katie, a near-top star, could simply stand next to her. However, this woman was dissatisfied with the position and insisted on standing in the center.

Taylor, of course, would not allow it.

then.

Regarding the single position, both parties' agents began negotiating with executives at CB TV. While their agents were negotiating, Binbu walked up to Zhang You and asked, "Have you heard Katie's song before?"

Zhang You shook his head.

Let alone Katie, he had never even heard of Taylor's songs.

This time, Zhang You drew her song "Love." He was planning to go back and listen to it to see which angle to approach it from. However, his shaking his head had a different meaning in Bin Buyan's mind. She asked, "You're just like the people in your country..."

You're overthinking it.

Zhang You replied with a smile, "You and I are just small-time entertainers."

Although some things cannot be excused by "being a minor entertainer," the reality is that he really is a minor entertainer. To put it bluntly, even those in power don't care about certain things. These little people can shout themselves hoarse, but it won't do any good. When it comes to playing dumb, some big shots are really too good.

Electric bikes can be impounded without warning.

Then they made... a foot pedal for people to step on. It's true that the world is full of wonders. When the forest is big, all sorts of birds fly around. Besides this, there are also some things that happened at school. Last time, Zhang You was watching short videos, and it was so shocking that he tricked the victim's father into signing a settlement agreement.

It perfectly exemplifies the principle of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

But just like Zhang You said, he's just a small-time entertainer. He should just live his life well. If he takes himself too seriously and says things he shouldn't have... If he can't deal with others, can't he at least deal with himself?
It's a matter of minutes.

"That……"

Hamabu wanted to say something more.

But Zhang You raised his hand to interrupt him, saying, "I really haven't heard of it, and I don't really like this type of music. I think it's too noisy. Can I ask you a question?"

"you say"

Binbu sat down next to Zhang You and asked.

“I think you should know how difficult it is for you to participate in ‘Voices from Abroad’, and you… you shouldn’t be short of appearance fees, right? Why did you come to participate?! If you think my question is a bit presumptuous, you don’t have to answer it,” Zhang You replied.

In Zhang You's opinion, it was not a wise choice for Li Zhen and Bin Bu to come to participate in "Foreign Voices". Although this place is the center of the world entertainment industry, once they gain a foothold, their commercial performance value will be greatly improved. However, after looking at Li Zhen and Bin Bu's information, Zhang You found that neither of them had released many English songs.

However, even with only a few English songs, the results were quite poor. If they came over, even the adaptations would mainly be based on English songs. Even with a music team, Zhang You felt that they wouldn't last many episodes.

There was absolutely no need to come here.

Because if he really fails... even BoA said that if he doesn't make it through a few episodes and has to go back in disgrace, he might not even be able to keep his position as the top star in the country. This is a typical example of "if he doesn't make a move, others won't know how powerful he is and can have a lot of imagination about how powerful he is. Once he makes a move, his strength will be directly demonstrated."

In China, he's seen as a superstar and an idol, but when he goes abroad, he gets completely outshone. It's no wonder he gets criticized.

The greater the expectations.

The greater the disappointment.

Zhang You believed he could see the problem, and there was no reason why Li Zhen and Bin Bu couldn't. Even if the two were blinded by CB TV's offer, their agencies would have helped them analyze the pros and cons, but the two still came.

I want to try it.

Hamabu replied, "I'm over forty years old this year, and my personal doctor told me..."

As she spoke, Hamabu pointed to her ears and continued, "I only have one year left before I go completely deaf. If I fail this time, I'll have to leave the music industry."

Zhang You suddenly realized.

It turned out they came with ideals, and then Zhang You heard Bin Bu ask in return, "And you!?"

"Me!"

Zhang You laughed and said, "I'm here to conquer this place and become the king of the world's music scene."

Seeing that "Zhang" and Binbu from Richeng were chatting, Li Zhen wanted to join them. After all, the three of them had the same skin color and the same eyes. In this foreign country, compared to foreign singers, these two made her feel closer. However, when she thought of "Zhang" refusing to help her, Li Zhen lost the idea of ​​joining them.

"I've got it."

Binbu smiled and said, "If you succeed... I will publicly repeat what you said in front of the media after I return to China. If you fail," he paused slightly, then said seriously, "Zhang, I hope you succeed. No singer from our region has yet reached the top of the music scene here. If you do it, it will be groundbreaking."

I'll try my best!

Zhang You replied with a smile.

Neither of them mentioned Taylor and Katie vying for the center position, because it was none of their business, and if they did, others might think they were meddling in other people's affairs.

What Zhang You didn't expect was that the center position on the promotional poster had been negotiated for two hours without being settled. Katie insisted on standing in the center, while Taylor and her agent, Boche, refused to give in.

Back in China, Zhang You knew that being in the center position was popular, but he never expected that it would be so favored by female celebrities abroad. Indeed... wherever there are women, even small things can become big things.

Another half hour passed.

Zhang You had completely lost his patience. To Bin Bu's astonishment, Zhang You stood up and walked to John, a high-ranking executive at CB Television, saying, "John..."

"Zhang, I'm sorry, I don't have time right now."

Hearing Zhang You call him, John, who was trying to persuade Katie and Taylor to back down, turned around and glanced at him, then replied impatiently. But before he could finish speaking, Zhang You said directly, "John, I need to see my contract and calculate my penalty for breach of contract. You've wasted too much of my time."
