My wife is in my arms

Chapter 679 Midsummer II

Arrived at Tianyu Entertainment.

Zhang You first checked on Xu Lun's progress.

This guy really has the attitude of a workaholic. It hasn't been long, but he has already finished recording the entire song. Knowing that he was filming a music video outside, Zhang You did not disturb him.

As for the recorded songs...

Zhang You did give it a try.

To be honest, this guy does have Jay Chou's style. His voice is slightly nasal when he sings, and his pronunciation is a little hard to hear clearly. But putting aside his singing skills and lyrics, his composition does follow the principles of introduction, development, climax and conclusion.

Just like with Jay Chou... Zhang You never belittles him. After all, someone who has dominated the Chinese music scene for so many years must have something unique about him.

To be honest, aside from songs like "Seven Mile Fragrance," "Blue and White Porcelain," and "Far Away," Zhang You really couldn't understand many of his songs.

However, Zhang You also knows that many fans have commented that "Jay Chou's songs are becoming clearer and clearer, while their youth is becoming more and more blurred." But for some of Jay Chou's songs, let alone having Zhang You sing them, he can't even pronounce the words accurately.

Many of Jay Chou's songs truly possess a unique charm that only he can bring out in his singing.

Anyway, many singers' songs in the music industry have been covered very well, and some have even surpassed the original singers, but when it comes to Jay Chou's songs, not many people can cover them well.

Take "Blue and White Porcelain" for example.

A famous singer covered it, as did powerful vocalist Yang Zongwei, Zhou Shen, JJ Lin, and many other singers, but none of them could capture the same charm as Jay Chou.

The lyrics are beautiful.

The music is beautiful too.

Even his singing... doesn't sound like Jay Chou anymore. He truly captured the pure essence of misty rain, his voice like the gentle ripples of rain falling along the eaves. It is truly a masterpiece of Chinese style.

Xu Lun's appearance, lyrics, and composition style are somewhat similar to Jay Chou's, so Zhang You did not make any comments after listening to Xu Lun's recorded songs.

This guy is not only a naturally gifted player, but also a player with great potential. He handles everything himself, and now that we're working together happily, we can continue to work together.

In a few years, Zhang You will see if it's suitable, and if so, he will entrust the singing of "Blue and White Porcelain" to him. It's not that Zhang You is reluctant to give it to his wife Jiang Yiren, but rather it's out of practical considerations.

The diva is, after all, an artist signed with Tianyu Entertainment. Just like the songs "Red Bean" and "Encounter," which sold so well, Tianyu Entertainment took the lion's share, leaving the diva with only a third of the profits.

Instead of doing that, it would be better to let Xu Lun sing it. At least Youyi Studio can get 60% of the profits, and with this song, Xu Lun's concerts can generate a continuous stream of revenue.

The diva is also in need of songs. Zhang You plans to write a few more good songs for her after he finishes this busy period to consolidate her popularity. As for October's songs, the two are also busy recording them.

In short, the development of Youyi Studio is progressing in an orderly manner. Originally, Zhang You was a little worried about the two and planned to help them record the music himself. However, he was busy recording his own album and didn't have that much time. So, Zhang You directly transferred someone from Tianyu Entertainment's music department to help them record the music.

Zhang You felt no qualms about using Tianyu Entertainment's resources to promote new talent for his own studio.

Friends!
Someone has to suffer a loss.

Zhang You himself doesn't like to suffer losses, so he can only let Lin Bao'er suffer some losses. How can you be his friend if you don't suffer losses? Only by suffering more losses can you suffer less or even no losses in the future.

come back to the office.

As soon as Zhang Yougang sat down, Xu Wei poured him a cup of tea and brewed the tea leaves.

"You're starting to look like a good assistant, keep up the good work, I'm watching..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang You saw Xu Wei pull out several sheets of paper and place them in front of him. Zhang You picked them up, glanced at them, and immediately nodded, suppressing a smile, saying, "Hmm, someone as talented as you doesn't need my approval; you can make yourself famous on your own."

Looking at the lyrics in his hand, which numbered at least ten.

Zhang You sighed inwardly. Xu Wei was truly a scoundrel; just a while ago he was only copying the lyrics of one song, but today he'd produced the equivalent of an entire album. It really did have a bit of... the style of a tailor.

I reckon in another two years, this guy's announcement of "a new song is coming" will cause a stir.

"This time we didn't plagiarize... the song you wrote."

Xu Wei whispered a reminder.

"very good"

Zhang You nodded.

Zhang You then drew out a sheet and began to examine it carefully. After reading it, Zhang You didn't know how to evaluate Xu Wei... He hadn't actually plagiarized his work, but this guy had copied Xu Lun's "Heroic Spirit" and "Dandelion." After thinking for a moment, Zhang You said, "Xu Wei, Xu Lun and you are from the same clan. Don't you feel any remorse for copying his songs?"

I think his songs are good.

Xu Wei replied.

"All right!"

Zhang You didn't say anything more.

To be able to work in the industry of song tailoring, it would be wrong to say that one's conscience is guilty. From the moment he decided to do this kind of thing, this guy basically threw reason and shame aside.

His goal was simple: to gain fame as quickly as possible and then monetize that fame. He flipped through the list again... Apart from Xu Lun's songs, Zhang You couldn't see whose songs this kid had copied.

There were simply too many—enough for an entire album. This meant that this kid had scoured at least thirty songs from the music library. It also meant that, aside from the kid himself, the only way to detect it was through the sharp eyes of the netizens. Putting down a stack of lyrics, Zhang You asked, "Tell me your thoughts."

I want to release an album.

Xu Wei answered without hesitation.

"..."

Zhang You was stunned.

Even a tailor like Ma doesn't seem to have that kind of courage! He cuts songs one by one, at most releasing them a little faster, but Xu Wei... his ambition is so high it's astonishing. After thinking for a moment, Zhang You said, "It's possible, but are you sure your tailor's songs won't get sued by the original singers?!"

"Director, you can rest assured."

Xu Wei said earnestly, "I've been studying relevant laws at home recently. Except for Xu Lun's song, which I slightly modified, I've removed the rap parts from all the other songs."

talking.

Xu Wei pointed to a piece of paper with a song title and said, "Like this song 'Long Night,' the original lyrics had five characters, and I pieced together five characters to make sure it's different. According to the definition of song copyright, this is at most called borrowing, not plagiarism."

"clap clap"

After hearing Xu Wei's explanation, Zhang You couldn't help but applaud him.

The word "borrowing" is used so cleverly, perfectly avoiding the copyright issues of the original singer, while also incorporating the strengths of the song. The key point is that they even looked up the law.

We were prepared for any eventuality.

very nice.

Chang Wei playing against Lai Fu, this is probably the only way he'll play.
