My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1588 First Place Six
Zhang You didn't take Li Jin'an's offer of a big gift to heart.

Bao'er had previously said she would give him a big gift, but before Zhang You could deliver it, she had already enjoyed it herself, so Zhang You now has no interest in the "big gift" at all.

However, it's likely that Li Jin'an's gift is different from Bao'er's.

Today ended relatively early.

At this moment, the setting sun over Foley Hill cast a golden glow over the city. Zhang You listened to music as he drove back to singer Liu Fei's home in the small town of Blues.

He's living just like he does abroad now.

Back in China, he had a singer and children; he still has them here. But after spending some time abroad, Zhang You also misses Xiao Zishan and Li Ran. Although Xiao Zishan is a bit mischievous, that's normal for kids! Li Ran is quieter, though. She's better off at home. He guesses that once he goes abroad, she'll definitely become even more well-behaved and quiet.

Even though their own diva never speaks ill of her, there are still some differences in their feelings.

At this time.

His phone rang.

Zhang You glanced at the caller ID and thought it was pop star Liu Fei calling to ask what time he would be home. He didn't expect it to be Zhang Xiyu. Without much hesitation, Zhang You turned off the car music and pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Heavenly King!"

Zhang Xiyu's voice came through.

"It should only be five or six in the country right now! Are you awake this early!?"

Zhang You asked with a smile.

"Don't even mention it, I'm still not asleep!"

Zhang Xiyu said dejectedly, "I've been so busy these past few days. I have a concert to hold, I have to record 'The Voice of China,' and my manager has also booked a lot of commercial performances for me. The worst part is that I have to travel so far. I just got back."

"Don't push yourself so hard, okay? Your health is the foundation of everything."

Zhang You replied.

"I don't want to either! These commercial performances were arranged a long time ago, and my agent even signed the contracts. I'm not going to take on any more commercial performances that are so far away. If I really push myself like this, I might just end up benefiting someone else. I'm not even married or have children yet!"

As she spoke, Zhang Xiyu said with a smile, "I heard that you beat Taylor to take first place in the first episode of 'Voices Abroad,' is that true!?"

"Only you guys take Taylor seriously. In my eyes, she's just a little Karami."

Zhang You made a joke.

He relies on copying. If he didn't rely on copying... he wouldn't be able to adapt songs, let alone create a new song in such a short time.

"That's a bit of an exaggeration, but I still have to praise you."

Zhang Xiyu smiled.

She didn't mention the conflict between Jiang Yiren and Wu Danni during the recording of "The Voice of China" to Zhang You. There was no need for it. Even the company didn't say anything, so what could a signed singer like her say? Besides, Zhang You might have already known about it.

It was nothing more than some disagreements during the recording of the show. Zhang Xiyu knew that Wu Danni wouldn't dare to cause any real trouble. If things got out of hand, the company could replace her as a mentor on "The Voice of China" at any time.

"family"

Zhang You asked, "I heard that you haven't released 'Rolling in the Deep,' which I wrote for you, because you're waiting for me to establish myself abroad so you can expand your business overseas too. Is that true?"

"Ha ha"

Zhang Xiyu laughed and continued, "Absolutely! I originally wanted to launch my career after the New Year, but someone spread the word that you might be developing internationally, so I immediately put it off. I'm waiting for you to succeed so I can try developing overseas too. Although the domestic market is not small, the international market is very different. I looked at Taylor's annual income last year, and to put it bluntly, her annual income alone is almost the sum of all the singers' incomes in China."

Zhang You did not speak.

Because what I, as a member of the same family, said was true. This income report is indeed frightening. Last year alone, Taylor Swift's tour earned more than 400 million US dollars, plus 180 million US dollars from merchandise, and Ms. bought out the rights to the concert documentary for 45 million US dollars. In addition, there was revenue from streaming, which seems to be several million US dollars.

However, this is the reported data. Only Taylor herself and her management company know the exact amount she actually received. But what is certain is that this top international female singer's personal net worth is at least $1.5 billion, if not $2 billion.

This also reflects the stronger copyright awareness and more sophisticated business modeling practices abroad.

But this approach simply won't work in China.

It's mainly about income.

Copyright awareness is often closely related to income. Ordinary people earn so little, only a couple hundred yuan a day. Many families can't even afford a TV VIP membership, so they certainly can't afford to spend so much money on following celebrities.

Going to a singer's concert is already the greatest support one can give. Asking fans to spend even more money on merchandise is something even Zhang You himself thinks is excessive.

The development of the entertainment industry often depends on the income of ordinary people.

If you can't even earn money, how can you talk about consumption?

"Seeing this income almost made my mouth water. I know I can't reach that level, but I have to give it a try! Now is the age to work hard. If I don't work hard now, I won't be able to when I want to. At that time, I hope Director Zhang will take good care of me. You said yourself that we are from the same clan."

Zhang Xiyu's laughter came through the phone.

"I don't have that ability."

Zhang You laughed and said, "Tell me why you called me! Don't just say you missed me so much after not seeing me for a while, so you called me."

"Don't say you don't have the ability. I believe in you. Even Taylor is no match for you, so don't be modest. Let's talk again when you come back!"

Zhang Xiyu smiled and said, "I do have something to discuss with you. I have three concerts next month, and I've sung my own songs so many times at these concerts. I'd like to change it up a bit. I plan to sing your 'Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies,' 'Next Year Today,' 'Glorious Years,' 'The Brightest Star in the Night Sky,' and 'Autumn's Deepening.'"

"You've practically collected all my songs."

Zhang You gave a wry smile.

"You won't let me sing?!"

Zhang Xiyu asked.

"Here you go, sing!"

Zhang You laughed and said, "Well, you're from the same clan as me, but let's make this clear first: if you sing well, I won't say anything; if you don't, don't blame me for not letting you sing in the future."

"rest assured"

Zhang Xiyu immediately exclaimed happily, "Then the price..."

"I'm not short of money."

Zhang You laughed and said, "Just treat me to a meal when I get back."

"We won't invite just anyone; if you're going to invite someone, invite your wife too."

Zhang Xiyu immediately spoke up.

"You don't trust my character?!"

Zhang You pretended to be angry.

"It's not that I don't trust you, but I don't want your wife to misunderstand. Women spend their whole lives seeking peace of mind. I'm a woman, so I respect your wife. Don't even mention one meal; even if I had to treat you to ten meals, as long as you bring your wife with you every single one, I wouldn't even blink."

After a slight hesitation, Zhang Xiyu continued, "There are some things that I, as an outsider, shouldn't say, but if I don't, I feel I'm betraying the 'family' label. So, I'll say it anyway! Zhang You, women abroad are very open-minded. With your talent, some women might be attracted to you, but I think when you do certain things, you should think about your wife. I've always believed that a good woman should marry a good man. You used to... overturned that idea of ​​mine, and it's only in the past year that I've slowly changed my mind. So now you should cherish her even more. Don't you think what I'm saying makes sense?"
