My wife is in my arms

Chapter 516 Future Boy Six

Return to the company.

Without thinking, Xu Wei dialed Zhang You's number.

100,000 seems like a lot, but he knew very well that if he actually copied the song written by Director Zhang and gave it to that woman because of that 100,000, his life would be completely over.

Let's set aside whether Zhuma Company will fulfill its promises.

Even if he does comply, Tianyu Entertainment will ruin him. At that point, Zhuma Company certainly won't go against Tianyu Entertainment for the sake of a nobody like him, and the final result will be simple.

He will be discarded like trash.

In serious cases, it can even lead to imprisonment.

So it's better to use this opportunity to gain favor with Director Zhang. Compared to Zhuma Company's promise, Director Zhang is more reliable. After all, if an entertainment company would resort to underhanded tactics to get a song from him, you can imagine how valuable his songs are.

And then this happened.

Just as Sister Song suggested, he will find a suitable opportunity to express his desire to debut to Director Zhang.

The phone rang several times but no one answered. Xu Wei asked Assistant Song where Director Zhang was filming, and then took a taxi to get there.

Led by a crew member, Xu Wei met Director Zhang, who was dressed in a suit and sitting next to Director Han, watching the monitor with her.

"What's wrong!?"

Zhang You asked in confusion.

Xu Wei quickly explained what had happened.

Han Wei was also surprised. When did the executives of Zhuma Entertainment become so despicable that they would do such a thing? However, while she thought Zhuma Entertainment was despicable, something even more despicable was about to happen.

"Zhu Ma Entertainment... Great. Here's what we'll do: you go find the woman you're meeting, ask for two million, and say I wrote ten songs. By the way... Wei, have you ever had a girlfriend?!"

Zhang You asked.

"without"

Xu Wei immediately shook his head.

As a boy who is determined to debut and make a lot of money, Xu Wei knows very well that female fans cannot accept their idol having a girlfriend. Once he does, it is easy to cause a large loss of fans, so he has never been in a relationship.

It's not that we can't find it.

He just doesn't want to date; having a girlfriend would negatively impact a male idol's career.

"Never dated before! Then tell this woman... she's pretty!?"

As he spoke, Zhang asked curiously.

I didn't notice.

Xu Wei gave an honest answer.

"..."

Zhang You's expression instantly turned strange. He sized Xu Wei up and down, not recalling this twenty-two or twenty-three-year-old boy having any face blindness. However, since Xu Wei had said so, he didn't bother to investigate further and simply said, "Fine, two million it is! You tell her to give you two million, and make this call right now in front of me."

"Director, isn't this illegal?!"

Xu Wei was somewhat reluctant to do this kind of thing.

"Then take a copy of the law and read it to your woman, see if it can move her. Go ahead and do it! After it's done, we'll split it 50/50. A million isn't a small amount; it'll be enough for you to earn for many years."

Zhang You wasn't angry about Zhuma Entertainment's behavior, so he hoped that Zhuma Entertainment wouldn't be angry in the future either.

As for the songs... he did write two, but after writing them, he transferred them from the computer to a USB drive that was attached to his car key, and the computer required a password to open.

So it was Xu Wei who told him, otherwise even if he really risked it all for the 100,000, he would end up with nothing. Under Zhang You's pressure, Xu Wei reluctantly took out his phone and called back.

"Director Zhang has ten songs on his computer."

Following his supervisor's instructions, Xu Wei began to speak.

"..."

There was a moment of silence on the phone, followed by a joyful voice saying, "Then hurry up and copy it!" "Zhang...I want two million!"

Xu Wei almost let something slip, but stopped himself in time.

"you"

Wan Qianqian was taken aback for a moment, then gritted her teeth. Suppressing her anger, she smiled and said, "Little brother Xu Wei, you've gone a bit too far."

"Director Zhang hasn't had time to register the copyrights for these ten songs yet."

Upon seeing the words typed on Director Zhang's phone, Xu Wei immediately said, "Should we say something?"

"You wait"

Upon hearing that the copyright hadn't been registered, the woman on the phone hung up first, presumably to consult with superiors. Han Wei turned to Zhang You and said, "Aren't you afraid of offending Zhuma Entertainment... I know you're not afraid, but you, as their assistant..."

At this time.

Xu Wei also understood what Director Han meant. Zhuma Company had been tricked by his director and dared not do anything to his director. If the director took his anger out on him, a nobody, he couldn't handle it.

"fine"

Zhang You gave Xu Wei a reassuring look.

The phone rang quickly. Having apparently finished consulting, the woman said directly, "Two million is no problem, but I'll give you one million first. Once you have all ten songs, I'll give you the remaining one million immediately."

Seeing his supervisor give him an "OK" sign, Xu Wei nodded and said, "I'll send you the card number now. As for the song... I'll give it to you tonight. I've been sent out by the company to do other things and won't be back until tonight."

"Call me when the time comes, and I'll come pick it up myself."

The call ended less than two minutes later.

Xu Wei received a notification from the bank about the change in his bank balance. Zhang You chuckled and patted him on the shoulder, then pulled out his phone and said, "Here you go! Transfer this million to me first, and you keep the remaining one million. Xu Wei, I've noticed you're really lucky. You've only been my assistant for a short time, and your personal assets have already exceeded one million. At your age, I only had tens of thousands in personal assets, so you should remember to be grateful."

When it comes to "gratitude," Zhang Youyi smiles.

Xu Wei reluctantly transferred the one million he had just received to Director Zhang. He intended for Director Zhang to wait until he received another one million, since no one knew whether he would receive that one million.

But people had to bow their heads under the eaves.

"Zhang You, you really have no shame."

Han Wei couldn't stand it anymore.

"I just want money, I don't care about my reputation."

Zhang You replied casually.

then.

Xu Wei then witnessed a scene that would affect his entire life.

Director Zhang asked the crew to find a laptop, then took out his phone, opened a music platform, and began splicing various music files.

Unlike typical plagiarism, Director Zhang's method of piecing things together was quite different.

Just like the translated lyrics of an English song: "I couldn't stay awake at noon and fell asleep, the church bells were ringing, telling my soul that it needs to pray..."

Director Zhang changed it to, "As the clock struck midnight, I silently prayed for the pain to disappear..."

By piecing things together and making changes, a song is quickly created.

The next song, whose original lyrics were "Walking on familiar streets, my heart is calling out, hoping to drift to her ear...", was changed by Director Zhang to "Familiar streets, yet utterly unfamiliar people! You've made my heart lose its way..."

Han Wei also came over, and as she looked... she subconsciously glanced at Zhang You, who was typing on the keyboard while searching for lyrics to other songs. This was a last-minute copy and modification without any preparation.

Xu Wei... he seems to have mastered the skill of creating original music.

So this is how songs can be copied.

This no longer falls into the category of plagiarism; it involves recombining and splicing elements, modifying sentences, and reversing the order of sentences, opening a new world to Xu Wei.

This is how the infamous Frankenstein's monster of the future music scene was born.
