My wife is in my arms

Chapter 449 Choice Four

This was obviously said in anger.

If she really did that, no matter how famous the diva is, she would be seen as petty.

And what's this... Zhang You has seen even more outrageous things. When they go on parody, they can drive the original singer crazy. They get angry and curse, and the singer starts to sulk.

"If you look at it from a different angle, maybe your failed song will actually become popular online."

Zhang You comforted.

He knew that this song, "She," was a work that the diva was reluctant to mention, and now that netizens were using it as background music for the "Driving Test Part 3," it had indeed touched a nerve with her.

However, this is not a big deal. As artists, they are originally engaged in the entertainment industry, and providing entertaining content for the audience is also part of their job.

It's worse to be forgotten by netizens than to be used for ridicule.

The singer's studio is located on the 19th floor of the Guangning Building in the city center. This is Zhang You's first time here. The office area is quite large, but there are very few staff members, making it seem a bit like a makeshift operation.

"boss"

Upon seeing Jiang Yiren appear, the employees quickly greeted her.

Jiang Yiren nodded to each person, took the contract from the person in charge, and then invited everyone into the office. Zhang You looked around but didn't pay much attention. However, when he heard someone say "Hello, Mr. Zhang," Zhang You jokingly replied, "Next time, call her 'Hello, Boss Lady,'" which made several employees laugh.

"Shouldn't you have a lawyer review the contract?!"

After handing a copy of the prepared contract to Ye Zi and Tang Yao respectively, Jiang Yiren asked a question.

"Need not"

Ye Zi quickly replied.

Tang Yao carefully read through the contract, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the contract term, signing fee, and one album per year were all written in the contract.

Do you know any lawyers?

Zhang You said, "If you have any, take a picture and send it over so you can all feel at ease."

“It’s really not necessary”

Ye Zi smiled and said, "We believe in you and Sister Jiang."

After saying that, Ye Zi signed her name on the contract. After Zhang You reminded her, Tang Yao, who had just had this idea, felt a little dissatisfied. Her partner was too trusting and didn't know any better. What if there were loopholes in the contract? That would be a very troublesome thing.

You should know that they knew more than just Yuan Hong, a big star, when they sang at the bar. One of them mentioned to them that there are always traps in artist contracts. You can't see them at first, but when conflicts arise between the parties, the other party can use these traps to their advantage.

In particular, the contract stated that the final copyright of the song would belong entirely to the studio, and she wanted to discuss the 20 million yuan penalty for breach of contract with Mr. Zhang and Sister Jiang, but he just signed it directly.

Now that he has signed, if she hesitates again, she will be caught in the middle. Forced by circumstances, the cheerful Tang Yao has no choice but to sign her name.

Thank you both for your trust.

Jiang Yiren said with a smile.

"From now on, we'll rely on Sister Jiang and Mr. Zhang to provide for us."

Tang Yao replied.

"It's a cooperative partnership; no one's doing anyone a favor. Each of you take a copy of the contract back with you, have someone review it, and we can discuss any issues that arise."

Zhang You had noticed Tang Yao's unusual expression earlier, and after a moment's thought, he knew what she was worried about. So, Zhang You smiled and said, "Ye Zi, Tang Yao, there's something I need to clarify. I have high hopes for your future development, and this optimism has no time limit. In other words, I hope you'll stay in the studio. So, if you have any questions, feel free to bring them up, and we can find a solution that we can both accept. For example, regarding commission... Right now, you're not famous yet. Once you've gained some fame, and you feel you can earn more based on your reputation, then we can discuss it."

Jiang Yiren didn't say a word.

She really wanted to interrupt her husband, but she also knew that as his wife, she shouldn't interrupt when he was talking about serious matters.

From her husband's words, Jiang Yiren realized that he seemed to genuinely intend to rely on Ye Zi and Tang Yao to achieve his wish of early retirement.

"Mr. Zhang... I don't know what to say."

Ye Zi was somewhat moved by what Zhang You said.

Judging from their attitude... you have to understand that they are just resident singers in bars, but they not only made a big concession on their commission, but also gave him and Tang Yao enough respect.

Putting everything else aside, this level of respect alone is something that few others can achieve.

"Mr. Zhang, I won't say much more. I hope we can continue to cooperate."

At this time.

Tang Yao was also somewhat moved by Zhang You's words.

Not long ago at Yuan Hong's house, she jokingly asked Yuan Hong about the revenue sharing with his agency. She learned that he could only get 40%. After winning the Best Actor award last year, he wanted to renegotiate the revenue sharing with the company, but the company kept dragging its feet.

Mr. Zhang not only did not avoid the topic, but he also brought it up himself, which precisely shows that he really intends to continue cooperating with the two of them.

However, she still needed to have someone review the contract. She and Ye Zi sang at a bar and knew many pretty hostesses who were tricked into coming to them with sweet talk. So, pretty words aren't always true; some are just said to make others happy.

The contract is signed.

Jiang Yiren led the two into an office, saying that this would be their office from now on. After staying at the "Youyi" studio for about half an hour, the two left first.

"No one does business like this."

Jiang Yiren looked at her husband with some dissatisfaction.

"I know what you're thinking, but... to put it bluntly, it's better to say it now than to have unpleasantness later. Everything can be discussed openly."

Zhang You replied with a smile.

"Even if the two become famous, the song copyrights still belong to the studio. If they want to sing, they can only honestly renew their contracts. There's no need to talk about negotiating a percentage. Zhang You, 40% is already very good. I... I only have 40% in hand right now."

When she said the last sentence, Jiang Yiren was full of resentment.

"After 'Red Bean' is released, I'll talk to Lin Bao'er on your behalf, but if that doesn't work..."

Just as he was about to say that if things didn't work out, he suddenly remembered that Jiang Yiren not only couldn't afford the penalty for breach of contract, but also owed Lin Bao'er 30 million yuan. He sighed helplessly.

This family is really quite poor.

He looks good, living in an 80 million dollar villa in Repulse Bay and driving a luxury car worth millions, but in reality he's heavily in debt and still has a studio to support.

Now that they've signed October Sky, they'll have to spend a considerable amount on promotion before releasing the album.

"You're terminating the contract, huh!?"

Jiang Yiren followed her husband's lead and finished his sentence, but Zhang You shook his head directly and said, "If you don't mind, I can try to seduce Bao'er and try to get her to forgive our family's debts, and at the same time, lower your commission rate. I'm willing to do anything for this family."

"So you just don't want to rely on your own hands, huh!?"

Jiang Yiren asked with a half-smile.

"It all comes down to our own two hands!"

Zhang You replied with a smile.

"..."

Jiang Yiren was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was going on and couldn't help but laugh, "Then go ahead and try it. Don't worry, I won't be jealous. But if Chairman Lin chops off your hands, don't come back and play the victim."
