My wife is in my arms

Chapter 452 The Wind Rises

In reality, even a song like "Question" isn't worth 3.5 million, because after its release, fans bought it for 3 yuan each.

Even if the song sells three million copies and generates nearly ten million in revenue, it still won't make money. This is because the music website takes half as platform operating fees, and of the remaining five million, Xu Qingya's agency takes half, plus her, as the agent, takes 20%, and she also has to pay personal income tax.

Ultimately, she won't get more than 1.5 million.

But that's not how the accounts are calculated.

Just like Jiang Yiren, the singer of "Ask", although she has earned a lot of money from this song, the real money comes from the commercial performances she received and the subsequent concerts where she sang this song.

In the music industry, the reason why so many singers want to perform hit songs is that the subsequent revenue can be several times or even dozens of times that of the release revenue. In the film industry, no actor can live off a single movie or TV series for a lifetime, but this is possible in the music industry.

"This……"

Zhang You was speechless.

He found that many people would compare the song with "Ask" or "When Love Has Become the Past", but in reality, there is really no point in comparing them. Although the quality of a song is related to whether it makes money, what really makes money is often not the good songs in the eyes of the singers, but the kind of low-class pop songs that they consider low-class.

Seeing Zhang You's expression, Xu Qingya couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

As a female singer, she naturally hopes to have the opportunity to sing a song like "Ask". Money is one aspect, but another is that she also really likes "Ask".

I also like "When Love Is Gone".

"Three and a half million is too high, Mr. Zhang. Qingya truly considers you her own brother."

Ning Xiaojie hesitated for a moment, then continued to appeal to emotions, saying, "She's an only child. From the moment she recognized you as her older brother, you've been her brother. We're not talking about you not taking a penny from her, but at least give your sister... second brother some face! She's developing her career in the music industry all by herself, with no one to rely on. Now you're not only her older brother but also her support in the entertainment circle. If she encounters any problems in the future, I think she definitely won't turn to me, her manager, for help first, but to you, her older brother."

Xu Qingya turned her head and glanced at her agent.

She had never realized that Sister Ning was so eloquent, but she didn't interrupt her. As long as she could buy the song from Zhang You cheaply, she didn't care what her manager said.

As for the real big brother... she didn't mind, but Xu Qingya remembered that this guy had said more than once that he wanted to have a "heart-to-heart talk" with her. From this, it was not hard to tell that Zhang You was just joking with her.

"You really treat me like an older brother!?"

Zhang You looked at Xu Qingya and asked.

"positive"

Ning Xiaojie spoke up.

Let her say it herself.

Zhang You raised his hand slightly.

"..."

Xu Qingya wanted to turn around and leave, but she knew that there must be a reason why this guy asked her so seriously. After hesitating for a long time and going through a fierce internal struggle, Xu Qingya finally nodded.

"Then lend me some money. My older brother owes Chairman Lin 30 million for buying a house."

As soon as Zhang You said this...

Ning Xiaojie's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Xu Qingya's serious expression froze on her face. She opened her mouth, then opened it again, and then grabbed her manager's arm and walked out.

She did want to buy songs, that's true, but this guy wasn't a legitimate song seller at all.

Another 3.5 million, another loan from her, this time 30 million, and judging by the situation, she probably won't pay it back. But just as she took a step, Xu Qingya stopped in her tracks amidst Ning Xiaojie's confusion.

Zhang You looked over curiously, only to see Xu Qingya say directly, "I can lend it to you, but you have to sign an IOU."

"..."

Now it was Zhang You's turn to be surprised. "Qingya"

Ning Xiaojie couldn't help but whisper a reminder, "He..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xu Qingya said, "I'm not familiar with you, but since I called you 'Big Brother' twice, I can lend you the money first because of those two sentences. But you have to write an IOU, and you have to clearly write the repayment date on it."

Ning Xiaojie couldn't understand what Xu Qingya was thinking... Then, she immediately realized what was going on.

Regardless of whether Zhang You was deliberately testing her.

Even if that's not the case, as long as this guy signs an IOU, there's no need to worry about him not paying it back. Even if he can't pay it back, there's still Jiang Yiren! Besides, is it really impossible for this guy to not be able to pay it back? Obviously not.

So ultimately, Zhang You was just testing Xu Qingya.

After thinking it through, Ning Xiaojie began to admire Xu Qingya's wit. Young people are great; they think quickly, unlike her, who almost mistakenly thought that Zhang You was so desperate for money that he had gone so far as to borrow from anyone he met.

"To lend or not to lend!?"

Seeing Zhang You staring at her thoughtfully, Xu Qingya felt a little uncomfortable and pressed for an answer.

"Borrow, why won't you lend it!?"

Zhang You smiled and said, "But let's leave it at that tonight. Even if I give you the IOU, you still can't give me the money. Here's what I'll do: I'll give you an account later, you can transfer the money directly there, and then come back to collect the IOU. Don't worry, there's a transfer record, so don't worry about me denying it."

Zhang You really didn't intend to borrow money from Xu Qingya.

He simply saw that Ning Xiaojie was playing the emotional card too hard and planned to use this method to pour cold water on the two of them and make them wake up. He didn't expect Xu Qingya to actually lend it. However, since she lent it, Zhang You naturally had no reason not to accept it.

We're not in a rush to pay off the family's debts.

With this 30 million, Zhang You wouldn't mind writing a script and then investing the money in it. If he wanted to retire, he would need to earn more money to secure his retirement.

"..."

"What!? You're not going to lend it anymore!?"

Noticing that Xu Qingya had stopped moving, Zhang You asked.

I'll give it to you tomorrow.

Done.

Xu Qingya pulled her stunned manager away.

"Wait a moment"

Zhang You shouted.

As the two turned away again in frustration, Zhang You picked up a pen, then found a piece of paper. With their attention focused, Zhang You lowered his head and began to write.

Realizing something, Xu Qingya walked over to Zhang You.

Her agent, Ning Xiaojie, also realized what was happening and quickly stood on Zhang You's other side. The two of them looked at the paper.

At the same time, they heard Zhang You's voice in their ears, saying, "This song may not be as good as 'Ask,' but it's still very good. I dare say that as long as you sing it well, it will definitely become one of your signature songs. To be honest, I'm reluctant to give this song to you, but you are indeed smart, so consider this song a reward for your intelligence."

Zhang You put down his pen, just about to hand it to Xu Qingya, but the moment he reached out, he immediately pulled it back. Xu Qingya looked over and saw Zhang You writing down the musical score.

This time it took a relatively long time.

As he wrote, he said, "But let's make this clear first, it's three and a half million, not a penny less. That means you're really prepared to lend me the money. Otherwise, even if you give me three and a half million, I'll give you other songs."
