My wife is in my arms

Chapter 578 Released (Part 6)

It has already surpassed the three million mark.

Seeing such results, Jiang Yiren was overjoyed. Less than twelve hours had passed since the announcement, while the daily purchase volume was calculated based on a 24-hour period.

That means there are already this many in less than half the time.

Even if the purchase volume doesn't increase as quickly as it did right after the release in the following twelve hours, it should still reach two million, which means that "Encounter" may be the first song of hers to have more than five million purchases in a single day since her debut.

Five million on the first day.

Then... thinking of a certain possibility, Jiang Yiren couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

She never expected that Bai Li's song "Encounter," which was considered too expensive, would achieve such phenomenal success. However, despite her joy, Jiang Yiren knew that even if the song's final sales exceeded 40 million, her income from it would still be limited.

Three yuan a song.

Forty million is equivalent to 120 million, which seems like a lot, but the platform takes half of it, then Tianyu Entertainment and the agent take their cut, and then taxes are paid, so what ends up in her hands... Silently calculating the number, Jiang Yiren felt a sharp pang of heartache.

It's true... the platform and the company take the lion's share.

"After the release of 'Red Bean,' I will shift my focus to running the studio."

Jiang Yiren spoke.

"how!?"

Zhang Yi asked.

"No matter how much I earn, it all benefits the company and Han Hui. Rather than that, it's better to let the songs be sung by the artists signed to the studio. That way, I... Speaking of this, I get a little angry. I don't know what my husband is thinking. He signs unknown newcomers to the studio and gives them 40% of the profits, plus such a high signing fee. In my opinion, 10,000 yuan a month would be enough."

As she spoke, Jiang Yiren began to complain about Zhang You.

"One million a year for a newcomer is indeed too high."

Zhang Yi nodded in agreement, then explained on Zhang You's behalf, "However, your husband has his own ideas. Don't argue with him about this. Maybe he's trying to win people over, and this is better than him gambling away the money! By the way, Yiren, what else can your husband do?"

"How would I know"

Jiang Yiren shook her head.

If her husband hadn't looked so much the same, even she would have been suspicious.

However, upon reflection, Jiang Yiren found a reason to convince herself: before her parents-in-law passed away, one was a musician and the other was a famous dance teacher. Her husband had been exposed to these things since childhood, so it was normal for him to know them as well.

Just like Xiao Zishan, after her father's instruction over this period of time, she is not yet able to play a complete piece of music, but with more practice from her father, she will definitely be fine.

It's a bit late for Xiao Zishan to start practicing now, so Jiang Yiren plans to wait until her twins are born and she's just learned to walk before she starts learning to play the piano and other musical instruments with her husband.

Whether her husband would teach her or not was not within Jiang Yiren's consideration.

He won't even teach his own son... who does he plan to teach?!
The son outside!

That's necessary.

"How could you not know?!"

Zhang Yi asked.

"If they could hide the fact that he wrote the lyrics and composed the music from me for so many years, wouldn't it be normal for them to hide other things as well? By the way, I heard that Yuan Hong's wedding date is set for May Day, is that true!?"

Suddenly, Jiang Yiren remembered the article she had seen in entertainment gossip and immediately asked about it.

"unclear"

Without hesitation, Zhang Yi replied, "Let's wait and see! If we're really getting married on May Day, we'll send you and Zhang You invitations in April."

"Didn't you ask?!" Jiang Yiren asked.

"Please, let's just get a divorce! Don't you know that divorced couples don't need to have any contact unless they have children? Besides, even if he's not remarried, he won't contact me, his ex-wife, if he has a new girlfriend. And... I have nothing to say to him now."

As she spoke, Zhang Yi's voice gradually softened. In the dark bedroom, she lay flat on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

Like all women who choose divorce, she thought before the divorce that she would be better off than before, but after the divorce, she found that she was not as good as before.

The marriage is over.

His career development has stalled.

However, Zhang Yi also knew that even if she refused to divorce at that time, she could only prolong the marriage for a while, and eventually they would still divorce; it was just a matter of time. Leaning against her best friend, Zhang Yi reached out and stroked Jiang Yiren's lower abdomen, saying with some envy, "Your life now is truly enviable."

"Didn't you see that Zhang Zishan only got such a low score on the test tonight?!"

Jiang Yiren said unhappily.

"Don't be ungrateful. If I had a child, I'd be happy even if they got a 7, let alone a 70.

Zhang Yi replied.

"You got a zero on the test?!"

Jiang Yiren asked.

"It saves us the trouble of buying them at home. I happen to like salted duck eggs, so I used my child's test scores to make them. Who knows, they might even go well with rice."

Zhang Yi smiled.

......

Another song was released alongside "Encounter," but its performance contrasted sharply with that of "Encounter," even though the singer was also a talented artist.

Within an hour of its release, it had received fewer than 100,000 views.

After nearly twelve hours, it only reached 400,000 views. The poor performance was bad enough, but the comments were also not good. However, many fans said that the song was of average quality.

"Is the difference really that big!?"

When Vice Chairman Chen, who was wearing pajamas, heard his assistant's report, he was momentarily stunned and couldn't quite process it.

He didn't know what to say. It was Zhang You who wrote the lyrics, and "Encounter" became a huge hit, while the song he had copied from Zhang You's computer did terribly.

Clearly, on the one hand, these songs lost some of their appeal to many fans because the lyricist Zhang You's name could not be credited, after all, he is now a well-known figure.

On the other hand, there's the issue of the music composition. Since the music wasn't composed by Zhang You himself, it didn't quite match the lyrics. Having realized this, Vice Chairman Chen said, "Find the top-tier composers in the industry to create the remaining pieces."

He still didn't believe it. The lyrics were written by the same person, and even if there was a difference in the grades, it couldn't be this big.

Ten songs... even if only two of them achieve the same level of success as "Encounter," Zhuma Entertainment will make a fortune, so all the current investment is worthwhile.

hang up the phone.

He paced around the living room twice before calming his somewhat anxious heart.

As for directly using the fact that Zhang You wrote the lyrics for these songs for publicity, he really wouldn't dare to do that. If he did, it would be an open invitation to others that these songs were stolen from Zhang You by Zhuma Company through improper means, which would severely damage the company's reputation.

Things can be done.

But they couldn't say it.

The reactions of Tianyu Entertainment and Zhang You also prove this point. They chose to swallow this bitter pill and not argue with him. If he doesn't know how to restrain himself, Tianyu Entertainment will definitely retaliate. At that time, it will be beyond what a mere vice chairman like him can handle.
