My wife is in my arms

Chapter 560 "Encounter" Part 3
In the music industry, the debate over whether arrangement or lyrics are more important has never been settled.

But regardless of which is more important, no one ever compares the importance of singers, because it is obvious that there are many singers who can sing. Even if some songs require a specific vocal range to be sung perfectly, there are so many singers in the music industry that you can always find one if you look around.

however.

The arrangement and the lyrics are different.

This involves creative things. It's always the case that a song can make a singer famous, but no one has ever said that a singer can make a song popular.

Because of a song.

The arrangement and lyrics are the key, while the singer is secondary.

Jiang Yiren is in this situation now. Her singing skills are not weak, but they are not outstanding either. Moreover, before her husband wrote "Ask", her career declined significantly, which is well known to everyone.

However, her husband Zhang You helped her compose "Question" and other songs of equally high quality, and her career immediately experienced a second spring.

Compared to her first time relying on her looks and the company's packaging, this time she really has the makings of a true diva, and her released songs are very popular.

It's just that Zhang You's song prices are too high, which makes many singers in the industry hesitate. Otherwise, there would be a long line of singers inviting him to write songs. The group chatted for a while longer and then decided it was about time.

Zhang You, the host, left first.

"Teacher Bai Li, didn't you buy a song from Yi Ren's husband?!"

Lan Xiao, dressed in a green off-the-shoulder dress, smiled and put her arm around Bai Li, who was also wearing an exquisitely made-up red rose dress, and asked with a smile, "Let me see."

"Bai Li, we're quite curious too, let's take a look."

Teacher Haiqing also spoke up.

Under normal circumstances, it would be inappropriate to let people see someone else's song before it has been released, but since Zhang Youneng sold the song to Bai Li, it means that she must have registered the copyright, so it's not a problem to take a look.

"Did not buy"

Bai Li shrugged, then glared angrily at Jiang Yiren, saying, "I just haggled a little, and Zhang You gave the song to Yiren. By the time I regretted it and called back, Yiren wouldn't sell it anymore. Yiren, you can't do things like that! You have no shortage of good songs to sing, yet you still try to steal my song!"

Although she complained a few times, Bai Li didn't really take it to heart. She was just using this method to give Zhang You a little praise.

To this day, she doesn't think "Encounter" is worth four million. Even though her manager said the song is very good and is one of Zhang You's best-kept secrets, she has seen it and it can't compare to songs like "Ask," which are simple and easy to understand and immediately resonate with her as a professional singer.

It's worth at most three million, and one million of that is an extra premium. Four million would be outrageous; it's not like another song called "Question".

There are many singers in the music industry who share similar ideas with her.

Whenever they hear Zhang You's quote, their first thought is to check if the song quality is as high as "Ask" and "When Love Has Become the Past." It's as if their thinking has entered a dead end, completely forgetting that whether a song is liked by fans or not, the singer's performance is also a crucial factor.

In particular, most of them only formed a concrete impression of the two songs after seeing the sales data of "Question" and "When Love Has Become the Past", thinking that they must be good songs because they sold so well, rather than really using the quality of the song itself as the standard for judging whether a song is good or bad.

The song "Encounter".

While it may not be as influential as "Ask" and "When Love Has Become the Past," this song later became a must-sing at Stefanie Sun's concerts, and its significance is self-evident.

So Zhang You really didn't ask for more than four million. The fact that this song "Encounter" was able to touch the hearts of hundreds of millions of fans as soon as Stefanie Sun opened her mouth at her online comeback concert many years later shows that its quality can stand the test of time.

Each generation has its own memories.

"Encounter" marks a turning point in the memories of youth for people of a certain era.

A song, with its familiar melody, evokes memories of small, youthful moments from bygone days: liking someone, being loved, the thought of seeing them again, and that farewell that never came. "Yiren, why didn't you mention whose song you covered in the group chat this time!?"

Hearing Bai Li say that, Lan Xiao smiled and didn't press the matter further. Instead, she asked Jiang Yiren about it.

"New Song"

Jiang Yiren replied with a smile.

"Yi Ren, you're going a bit too far. Are you afraid we'll cover it again after it's released?!"

Teacher Haiqing began.

"Don't even mention Yiren, I'd be scared too. You guys don't do this, just targeting her songs for covers. Even if you want to cover her songs, you should wait until they're off the charts."

Tan Yao, who was in the same group as Jiang Yiren, immediately stood up for Jiang Yiren.

"That's how the game is played, and besides... who can blame us when Yiren's 'I Didn't Want It This Way' and 'With You Like This' are such beautiful songs?"

Teacher Yan Zhong said with an embarrassed look on his face.

They knew their actions were somewhat unethical, but as they said before, these were the rules set by the "Special Voice" program team, and they had no choice but to abide by them.

However, it must be said that covering Jiang Yiren's songs does bring a lot of attention.

Take him for example. After covering Jiang Yiren's song, his number of fans increased by hundreds of thousands. At the same time, many fans commented that his singing was more charming than Jiang Yiren's original song.

Now that they're going to sing their original songs during the recording, it means they won't be able to cover other people's songs anymore.

Through the projection screen in the lounge, Teacher Haiqing knew it was almost his turn to go on stage. He stood up from the sofa, straightened his collar slightly, and then walked backstage where he would be going on stage.

Teacher Yan Zhong unscrewed his own water bottle, took a couple of sips, and then stood up. After Teacher Hai Qing finished singing, it was his turn. As he was leaving the dressing room, Teacher Yan Zhong asked with a smile, "Yi Ren, what's the name of today's original song?"

""meet""

Jiang Yiren replied with a smile.

Bai Li, who was talking to Tan Yao, was taken aback upon hearing this, then turned to look at Jiang Yiren and asked, "It's finished recording so quickly!?"

"Um"

Jiang Yiren nodded.

"Isn't this the song 'Encounter' that Zhang You was planning to sell to you?!"

Tan Yao asked curiously.

"Yes, that's the song, 'That Beauty,' I'm going to listen to it carefully later."

Bai Li replied with a smile.

She didn't know if Jiang Yiren's performance of this song at the recording of "Special Voice" today was a deliberate attempt to help her husband get back at him because she thought Zhang You's price was too high.

Even if she did, she wouldn't care. Four million... Thinking of that price, Bai Li still felt a little angry.

They really dared to ask for a price, and there was no room for negotiation.
