My wife is in my arms

Chapter 613 Shocking Part 4

Open the iListen music platform.

Haiqing wasn't surprised to see Zhang You's two songs featured on the homepage. Since Zhang You's release, many singers' normal featured positions have been disrupted.

If it were a young person, they would definitely feel that this is unfair.

But for Haiqing, who is over forty, society has never been fair.

If you want fairness... show your strength, or if that doesn't work, pull out the weapon that can force some people to lower themselves and talk about fairness with you. Otherwise, you can only passively accept it, especially in the world of capitalism, where there is no fairness to speak of.

Everything revolves around profit.

After seeing the data for "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies," Haiqing, who was dressed casually and out drinking and eating barbecue with some friends, paused for a moment, then his gaze shifted to the time.

It's only 12:30 now.

"Fuck"

Hai Qing immediately let out a cry of surprise.

"What's wrong!?"

Just as Wang Cheng was clinking glasses with Xu Xiaoye, he asked in confusion, while the other three looked over in surprise. Hai Qing quickly explained, "Zhang You's 'Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies' has exploded!"

"How many!?"

Li Hong inquired.

"One million six hundred thousand"

After saying the number, Haiqing was still thinking about who had broken the 1.6 million purchase mark in half an hour. But after thinking for a long time, he could only remember the last single released by Liu Fei, the true queen of the music scene, when she left the music scene several years ago.

Now, Zhang You has actually achieved this with "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies," demonstrating his terrifying talent. When he heard Zhang You sing this song during the final episode of "Special Voice," he felt that the song had a high chance of becoming a hit. Therefore, he went against the wishes of his management company and postponed the release of the single he had carefully produced.

But he really didn't expect it to reach this level, especially since it was only half an hour after 10 p.m. The real peak in purchasing volume would come after 7 a.m.

"You didn't see wrong!?"

Li Hong didn't believe it.

"Look at this."

As he spoke, Haiqing handed his phone to Li Hong, who was also shocked when she took a look.

Listen to this.

Wang Cheng was initially surprised, but then he returned to normal. He was over fifty years old this year, and he had experienced a lot of pain that ordinary people could not endure when he was young, so he had long since become detached from worldly affairs.

Especially now that he's all alone and has earned enough for himself, he doesn't care.

As soon as Li Hong clicked to play, harmonica music immediately filled the private room. When the sound came on, Wang Cheng was jolted awake, as if he had just sobered up from his tipsy state.

"what"

He made such a sound.

As a veteran singer who specializes in folk songs, this was the first time he had ever heard someone use the harmonica as the beginning of a song.

Normally, the harmonica can only be used as an embellishment in the background music of a song, or as a single instrumental piece based on the actual background music. But Zhang You is very bold, and actually used the harmonica directly as the introduction and development of a song.

Many years ago, there was someone in the music scene who was just as daring.

They chose to start with the morin khuur (horsehead fiddle), whose sound is poignant, melodious, and desolate; the song is still sung today.

The song ends.

"Amazing"

Li Hong gave a compliment first.

“That’s ruthless,” Wang Cheng replied with a smile.

In the music scene, anyone who dares to use a niche instrument as the opening accompaniment of a song is either crazy or incredibly skilled and daring.

Judging from the whole song "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies", Zhang You belongs to the latter category. However, there's no need to take it too seriously. There are talented people everywhere, including in the music industry. Every year, one or two will emerge. The key is how long they can make a living in this field.

When Wang Cheng called for another toast, Hai Qing raised his glass and clinked it with the others, drinking beer while flipping through "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky".

He was slightly taken aback when he saw that there were actually two versions of this song. He listened to the sung version first, and after listening, he didn't know what to say. He guessed that both songs were Zhang You's most treasured songs.

Then he listened to another version of "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky," which was instrumental and free. After listening to it, he understood why this version had such a high number of plays.

The fact that it's free is only one aspect; another is that the instrumental music of this song is of the same high standard as Zhang You's other instrumental compositions.

The melody is clear and the rhythm is soothing. After listening to it, you feel something indescribable, like a breeze blowing away the gloom in your heart. In particular, there is a short section in the middle where Zhang You added electronic sound effects, which made the song have a more spacious and beautiful atmosphere.

It was as if the Milky Way had been turned upside down, with countless stars illuminating the sky.

"I can't accept it!"

Haiqing said helplessly.

"Drinking is the real business. There are plenty of people in this society who are better than us!"

Wang Cheng replied nonchalantly, then called to his other friends, saying, "Come on, drink! No matter how well someone else's songs sell, the money won't go into your pocket. On the contrary, the alcohol you drink is all yours."

talking.

Wang Cheng held up three fingers and said, "It'll be three o'clock. Old Wang has to go to film this morning, so we won't drink until dawn. We'll call it a day at three. Next time, let's find a time when everyone is free and drink all night. Also... I have a few cases of good wine at home. I'll move them to Xiao Ye's place today. If you bring friends, don't be shy, just open the bottles and drink. The only requirement is that you must call me before you drink."

The bedroom light was still on.

Lin Bao'er, wearing a black nightgown, was still awake.

She wasn't deliberately waiting to see the results of Zhang You's two songs; rather, her younger sister had come back last night and, after dinner, insisted that she, as the older sister, watch a TV series with her.

Lin Bao'er had no choice but to accompany her to watch the show, since she was being pestered so much.

This was obvious... It wasn't until she was so sleepy that her sister, Lin Kaiqi, finally let her go. Lin Bao'er picked up her phone and saw that it was almost one o'clock. She yawned and opened the music platform.

When she saw that the number of purchases for "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" was close to 1.8 million, she was stunned for a moment, and then she looked at "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky".

She knew that Zhang You had produced two versions of the song yesterday, but she didn't expect it to be such a huge hit. Strictly speaking, this was the first time Zhang You had sung in front of an audience.

So even with the boost from the popularity of "Special Voice," she conservatively estimated that the daily sales of these two songs would be at most three million. But now, looking at it... this guy really is worth the sky-high signing fee she offered.

Unfortunately... Lin Bao'er felt a pang of frustration.

They offered such a high signing fee, but the other party refused to accept it.

With a touch of regret, Lin Bao'er reached out and turned off the bedroom light, then lay down on the bed. Just as she was about to fall asleep, the door was quietly pushed open.

"Snapped"

The bedroom light was switched on in an instant.

"what!?"

Lin Baoer said angrily.

"See if you've found your brother-in-law yet."

Lin Kaiqi said with a grin.

Lin Bao'er pulled out a pillow and threw it at her younger sister.
