My wife is in my arms

Chapter 600 Aftermath Thirteen
The WeChat official account was able to react so quickly.

I guess they've gotten annoyed by these people. Whenever they say something negative, the first thing they say is that their account has been hacked. Once or twice, the official account can choose to ignore it, but today... two of them suddenly appeared.

This is a direct slap in the face to public accounts.

It's almost as if they haven't directly stated that WeChat official accounts are unsafe.

The same thing happened last time, and now Zhang You is about to release two new songs and he's doing the same thing again... Doesn't he know that his songs have already brought the group over 100 million in revenue?!
Therefore, in addition to releasing the test report, the official WeChat account immediately posted another message stating, "Our company regards user safety as its lifeline. We currently have four security laboratories. In the past two years, similar account theft issues have occurred frequently, leading users to seriously question our company's information security. However, we hereby clarify that these are all baseless rumors. Furthermore, we hereby declare that if any public figures or users fabricate account theft rumors again, we will take legal action."

The announcement of this news.

This left Allen and Zhou Zheng completely dumbfounded.

However, the two were quick-witted and immediately changed their story, saying that it was their assistant who did it.

Having learned about this from Lin Bao'er, Zhang You didn't bother to pursue it, mainly because it didn't mean much to him. That's just how the entertainment industry is; once someone becomes famous, a lot of trouble and controversy arises.

But these are nothing compared to normal business collaborations.

The music platform felt his songs were more profitable than the other two, so they removed their featured spots from his and the other two's, and vice versa. Talking about how big companies bully their customers is a lie; it would be the same no matter who was in charge.

Just like Lin Bao'er... watching her push a contract over, Zhang You reached out and slapped her elbow. This spot had been deliberately or unintentionally rubbed against by that lunatic named Wu Danni several times just now.

In the end, he couldn't stand it anymore and kicked her out of the recording studio. Xu Wei said she was perfectly normal.

What's normal about this?! He was busy with his work, and it was one thing for her to come and look, but to use... Zhang You felt particularly unlucky.

"have a look"

Lin Baoer said with a smile.

Zhang You glanced at her, then picked up the contract and flipped through it. He was slightly surprised to see that the signing fee was 120 million a year. He then tossed it to Lin Bao'er and didn't bother to read the contents of the contract below.

One hundred million a year.

This is practically the ceiling for artist signing fees, and it's a ten-year contract. If he and Jiang Yiren sign it, they can not only wipe out all their debts, but also achieve financial freedom.

But while she was financially free, she was no longer free. Seeing Zhang You casually flip through the document and toss it over, Lin Bao'er exclaimed in surprise, "Such a high signing fee, and you're not signing?!"

"I wouldn't mind if you didn't let me do things, but I think that's unlikely."

Zhang You laughed and said, "Alright, I've refused you several times already. Don't try to get me to sign any more contracts; it's pointless."

In this society, there's no way he can take advantage of anyone.

With such a high signing fee, there's no doubt that once he signs, he'll be no longer human for the next ten years, but a true beast of burden. And unlike the average twelve-hour workday beast of burden, he'll be a top-tier beast of burden working non-stop.

Others may not know how management companies exploit their artists, but Zhang You knows it all too well. It's common for him to be running around doing promotional activities at three or four in the morning.

Moreover, Zhang You probably guessed why Lin Baoer was willing to pay such a high signing fee. It was mainly because he saw that Lin Baoer was very good at singing, and both "Encounter" and "Red Bean" sold very well.

To put it bluntly, if he writes a few more songs for Tianyu Entertainment, the company won't lose money. Then, he can release more songs, hold concerts, record variety shows, do endorsements, etc., which will be enough for the company to make a profit.

Just like Jiang Yiren's song "Encounter," which sold over 40 million copies, the total revenue was 120 million. The platform took 60 million as operating expenses, the company took 40%, which is 24 million, and the remaining 20% ​​went to the agent, Han Hui. So how much was left?
The amount received will not exceed 20 million.

Of the 20 million yuan, Jiang Yiren also had to cover the expenses of her personal assistant, Xiao Mei, as well as the styling and costume team. The same applied to "Red Bean" and "Orchid Grass"—both were very successful, but Jiang Yiren didn't earn much. This explains why, while Jiang Yiren was in a great mood, she also often felt a pang of heartache.

But if these songs were sung by Zhang You, such as "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" and "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky," Zhang You wouldn't have a management company or need to be exploited by an agent.

Especially since he's registered under the name of Youyi Studio, which is run by Jiang Yiren, he can pay taxes through the studio. If Jiang Yiren's "Encounter" were replaced by his, he would receive at least double what Jiang Yiren would have earned.

This explains why Lin Bao'er was willing to raise the signing fee so high.

"Given our relationship, we'll definitely discuss which gigs I accept with them..."

Before Lin Bao'er could finish speaking, Zhang You raised his hand to interrupt her. He laughed and said, "I can only listen to what you say. If you really want to sign me... didn't I already propose some conditions before? You can draft a new contract based on those standards. I won't even ask for your signing fee of 120 million. Just give me 80 million a year. A ten-year annual salary is too short. Let's sign for twenty years directly."

"..."

Lin Bao'er remained silent.

After thinking for a moment, she put the contract back in the drawer.

Since Zhang You joined the company, she has always treated him with respect, hoping to bring him into the company based on their personal relationship.

Unexpectedly... this guy still persisted as always, but that seems quite normal. The more capable a person is, the more clear-headed they are, and Lin Bao'er also knows that this guy may indeed be unable to stand the company's constraints.

However, once a contract is signed, it's obviously impossible to avoid being bound by it.

Unless he takes her place and becomes the head of Tianyu Entertainment, after a slight hesitation, Lin Bao'er rested her chin on her hands and said, "Then it wouldn't be a problem to have the title of Chief Operating Officer at Tianyu Entertainment, would it?"

"Isn't this Coo!?"

Zhang You frowned, then shook his head and said, "You should find someone else!"

"You've been relieved of your post; you don't need to do anything."

Lin Bao'er explained.

The idea of ​​appointing Zhang You as the company's chief operating officer was hers last night. This guy is already famous, and his fame will only grow. He'll only be the company's music director... mainly because the contract only requires him to produce three songs with weekly sales exceeding 20 million to complete the task.

After the daily sales of "Encounter" and "Red Bean" exceeded four million, Lin Bao'er felt that this requirement was a bit too low for Zhang You.

If Future Boy achieves such results upon his debut, and since he doesn't sign an artist contract with the company, he'll definitely leave.

How can this be possible!?
So Lin Bao'er planned to give him another position and pay him to stay employed. She was determined to keep him in the company; she didn't believe that giving him an extra salary wouldn't increase his workload and that they wouldn't develop a bond.

Even the most ungrateful wolf, raised in this way, will develop black eyes.

immediately.

Lin Bao'er seemed to have thought of something, and her whole demeanor became somewhat unwell.

Jiang Yiren has been raising this guy for almost ten years.

Why does she want to raise one too?!
