My wife is in my arms

Chapter 447 Choice Two

"You two are really..."

Yuan Hong didn't know how to evaluate his two friends.

Although their future development is indeed a big deal, these two... want to sign with Tianyu Entertainment, but they also admire Zhang You's creative talent and worry that if they join Tianyu Entertainment, they won't be able to sing the songs he wrote.

This has led to a constant wavering.

Now that they've finally decided where to go, they're starting to worry that Zhang You and his wife's studio is too small and the resources available to them are limited. Zhang You explained this to them in a KTV room a while ago, and they didn't hide anything. It's unclear what else the two of them are struggling with.

"Have no idea!"

Ye Zi touched her short hair and said somewhat awkwardly, "If Youyi were a large studio, we wouldn't even consider it, especially... last night Mr. Zhang sang 'A Song of Remembrance' at the charity gala. To be honest, that was the only song we heard that made our decision, but we still have reservations."

"understood"

Yuan Hong replied helplessly.

He knew that Ye Zi and Tang Yao wanted to negotiate with Zhang You. Logically speaking, the two of them were just bar singers and had no right to negotiate with Zhang You, but everything... can be discussed and negotiated.

The two of them came over at the last minute hoping he could help mediate and prevent the atmosphere from becoming too tense.

After waiting for about half an hour, the doorbell rang at Yuan Hong's house. When he opened it, he saw that Zhang You had come over, as had Jiang Yiren and their daughter, Xiao Shan.

Uncle Yuan

Xiao Zishan, whom Zhang You had brought back from his home, greeted him politely.

"come on in"

Yuan Hong smiled and invited the family of three in. He then asked his housekeeper to cut a fruit platter and bring it out. As soon as Jiang Yiren saw the two people in the living room, she knew that they were Ye Zi and Tang Yao, whom her husband had mentioned.

When the two stood up to greet each other, Jiang Yiren smiled and replied.

“Mr. Zhang, I listened to your performance of ‘The Song of Remembrance’ last night, and it was simply superb… If I could create music like that in my lifetime, I would gladly die right now.”

Ye Zi looked on with admiration.

Don't say that.

Zhang You replied and then sat down on Yuan Hong's sofa. After receiving the call and hearing Ye Zi say that she wanted to talk to him, Zhang You knew that the two of them had made the decision to sign with Jiang Yiren's studio.

Otherwise, you should ask him if he works at Tianyu Company.

"Zhang You and the other person wanted to know how many singles or albums they could release in a year if they signed with Yi Ren's studio."

Yuan Hong took the fruit platter brought by the nanny and placed it in front of Xiao Zishan. Seeing the little girl say, "Thank you, Uncle Yuan," Yuan Hong smiled and replied, "You're welcome," before continuing, "The two of them were too embarrassed to ask you directly, so they asked me instead."

"Mr. Zhang, I'm so sorry, after all..."

Tang Yao was about to express her apology when Zhang You waved his hand and said, "No need for that, it's normal. Even workers will ask about the benefits before deciding whether to go to work in a factory..."

After a slight hesitation, Zhang You finally spoke, "I can't guarantee other resources, but I can guarantee you can release a new album every year, which is ten to eleven songs. My wife and I discussed it, and even though you're newcomers, we'll give you both a one million yuan signing fee per year. That's basically the ceiling for newcomers. Besides that, regarding the commission..."

Zhang You pointed at Yuan Hong and said, "You must have heard from the handsome Yuan that it's possible to get 10% or 90%, 20% or 80%, or 30% or 70%, with the best chance being 30% or 70%, meaning the agency gets 70% and you get 30%. But how should I put it? Firstly, my wife's studio just opened, and your decision to join at this time shows your willingness to grow with the studio. Plus, with the influence of the handsome Yuan, the studio will only take 60%."

Yuan Hong was somewhat moved.

He used to look down on Zhang You, but now... he's top-notch in both his work and his character.

A 40/60 split... While it may seem like the studio takes the lion's share, this is indeed a top-tier commission rate for a newcomer. Even he only dared to propose a 50/50 split with his agency because he won the Best Actor award last year, and the agency hasn't even given him a reply yet.

Then, Zhang You continued, "As for the contract term, we can sign a five-year contract first. After five years, you can choose whether to renew the contract with the studio based on your own development. To be honest, these conditions... I've looked at Tianyu Entertainment's newcomer contracts, and the minimum is eight years, with a 20/80 commission."

"..."

Ye Zi and Tang Yao exchanged a glance, then stood up and extended their hands.

Jiang Yiren and Zhang You quickly stood up and shook hands with the two of them.

"Congratulations to you both! From now on, you'll be the top male and female stars at Youyi Studio!"

Zhang You said with a smile.

Jiang Yiren took out her phone and called the person in charge of her studio, asking him to prepare the contract. Zhang You looked at Ye Zi and Tang Yao with smiles on his face.

With these two signing, square dance songs are about to get an upgrade.

Zhang You believes that they don't need many albums; just one is enough to launch the duo into stardom, unlike the more easily popular songs of Phoenix Legend. The melody is simple and easy to remember, the lyrics are straightforward, and the rhythm appeals to a wide audience.

If so... it must be because he pushed those three boys out to fulfill the contract with Tianyu Company.

Zhang You had already planned it all out: once the October group became a huge hit and brought a stable income to the studio, he could go back to lying at home. But then Zhang You remembered something and said, "Your group is called the October group. There's nothing wrong with that, but I think 'October Sky' would be better. What do you guys think?"

"No problem, we'll call ourselves October Sky from now on."

Ye Zi agreed without even thinking about it.

Even if Zhang You had made a decision directly, let alone just discussing it with them, they wouldn't have been able to say anything, since once the contract was signed, the two of them would be employees of the couple.

However, I'm still quite happy to think about the fact that we split the 40/60 split between two people.

Resources may not be plentiful, but this revenue sharing is enough to make up for it, and the titles "Number One Brother" and "Number One Sister" sound quite nice.

After chatting for a while, Zhang You said to the handsome Yuan, "Let's go to the studio to sign the contract first. It'll be a good opportunity to show them around and familiarize them with the environment."

"Wait a moment"

Yuan Hong called out to the group who were getting up to leave.

He turned and went into the room, then took out a box and handed it to Jiang Yiren, saying, "I found this in an old bag at the bottom of my closet while I was cleaning out the wardrobe. It contains a few pieces of jewelry. Your best friend might have forgotten about it. Could you please pass it on to her for me? And also..."

After a slight hesitation, Yuan Hong said earnestly, "Please apologize to her for me. I misunderstood her."

original.

He wanted to call Zhang Yi to apologize, but... she had already blacklisted him.

If his ex-wife had really cheated on him after the divorce, the two of them could have been together openly afterward. However, according to the information Yuan Hong had gathered, his ex-wife had remained single and had not been involved in any scandals with other men.

I'll tell her in a bit.

Jiang Yiren took the box, but out of concern for her best friend's marriage, she couldn't help but ask, "Yuan Hong, is there no chance for you and Zhang Yizhen to remarry?"

Yuan Hong did not answer, but simply smiled and shook his head.

"All right!"

Jiang Yiren could tell from Yuan Hong's expression that there was no hope for their remarriage. In particular, she also knew that Yuan Hong had a new girlfriend. She only felt sorry that the two of them had suddenly divorced after being together for so many years. In fact, she knew that the two of them must have thought it through carefully before deciding to divorce.

Ye Zi and Tang Yao were in the same car.

The Zhang family of three were in one car. Jiang Yiren had just sat in the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt when she heard her husband call out "Queen of Songs." Jiang Yiren subconsciously turned her head.

then.

Her rosy lips were kissed by her husband.

Jiang Yiren was stunned. This kiss... was very emotional. Then Jiang Yiren realized why her husband was so suddenly happy.

I estimate I'll be retiring soon.

Zhang You laughed.

"..."

Jiang Yiren pursed her lips.

It turns out that the kiss was just her husband's expression of joy after signing Ye Zi and Tang Yao as a couple, rather than a genuine expression of emotion.

I misunderstood again.

"Dad, did you kiss Mom?!"

Xiao Zishan, who was sitting in the back row, heard the noise and immediately leaned over to ask.

"No, your mom has such a foul mouth, I wouldn't kiss her!"

Zhang You replied.

"I think so too"

Having received a satisfactory answer, Xiao Zishan sat back down in her original seat. Jiang Yiren glanced at her husband but didn't argue with him, even complaining about the "smell," though that kiss just now was quite forceful.
