My wife is in my arms

Chapter 697 Suffering a Loss (Part 4)

The film and television industry is not the same as the music industry.

In the music industry, once the lyrics are written and the music is composed, the singer can record it and release it on a music platform. Whether the production is high-quality and takes a long time to polish, or it can be casual, like recording yourself singing at home with a guitar and uploading it online.

But not for TV dramas.

This requires coordination and cooperation among various departments, as well as the mobilization of various resources. In addition, if a film is released at the same time and its producers smear it or hire online trolls to write negative reviews, it also needs to be dealt with in a timely manner.

These are aspects that Zhang You currently lacks.

He could hire some online trolls, but the producers hire regular troops, while those he hires on the spot are just ragtag soldiers, no match for them at all.

Therefore, the best approach is to cooperate and achieve a win-win situation.

He gave up some of his investment to let Tianyu Entertainment participate in the project, and once it made money... if not, he would poach the production team into Youyi Studio.

If all else fails, he could acquire a film and television production company with independent distribution rights. So many film and television companies in the market are on the verge of bankruptcy right now. If he's willing to take them over, people will be overjoyed!

However, all of this is predicated on him having money.

As for now, he still has to obediently continue to play happily with Lin Bao'er. She used "slap slap slap" to force him to bet with her to get the song for free. He cooperated with Tianyu Entertainment to complete the most basic accumulation by using the company's production team. Once this process is completed, he will immediately swing his hoe to pry up the corner of Tianyu Entertainment.

Friends?

She tried to trick him.

He turned the tables and tricked her.

Ultimately, who suffers the least loss depends on whose schemes are more sophisticated.

"You're creating this a bit too fast."

Lin Bao'er looked up at Zhang You and couldn't help but sigh.

Putting aside the quality of the script, just the speed of creation... it feels like it's only slightly slower than this guy writing songs. How long has it been since he wrote "The Truman Show"? And he's already produced another one.

It's worth noting that for most screenwriters, producing one film a year is considered fast, and they can't afford to be distracted by other things. On the other hand, Zhang You is involved in the recording of a music variety show and also has to release her own album and songs. Moreover, even she knows that the second season of "Special Voice" is extremely difficult.

But this guy acted like nothing had happened.

I don't know if this guy has an exceptionally strong mentality, or if he knew he couldn't compete with top singers like Liu Fei and Qin Tai and simply chose to give up.

As far as she knew, the singers who participated in the recording of the second season of "Special Voice" were all giving it their all in order not to be the first to be eliminated.

Liu Fei and Zheng Tiannan immediately invested several million yuan to build their own music teams, and even Tianyu Entertainment had two musicians join their teams.

Others probably think the same.

After all, the ratings for the first season of "Special Voice" reached number one when it ended, and last night, the pre-show for the second season just aired, and the ratings immediately topped the music variety show category.

Its popularity remains high, and there are several keywords related to this program. Because of the program's popularity, Lin Bao'er was also tempted.

Even if it surpasses "Special Voice" in popularity, or even reaches half of its popularity, it would still be a profitable venture. The only problem is that while the idea is there, there's no good plan.

Imitating the rules of "Special Voice" is not impossible, but Tianyu Entertainment is, after all, a large entertainment company. Doing something like that would be a bit beneath its dignity.

Large companies have their own dignity and bottom line.

It's possible to produce related programs, but they must be innovative. Besides, Zhang You is currently participating in the recording of the second season of "Special Voice," so it's probably not easy to get him to participate in another program. Without him working as a laborer, Lin Bao'er is genuinely worried about the quality of the show.

It's worth noting that this guy played a crucial role in the success of the first season of "Special Voice." Even if other singers had stepped in to save the day, they wouldn't have been able to produce songs of the quality of "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" and "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky."

Lin Bao'er opened her email on her phone and started reading the script Zhang You had sent, but said aloud, "Let me finish reading it before we talk about investment. It's only a quarter of the way through! If it doesn't turn out well, I'll just refuse to invest."

"So much the better"

Zhang You said, "I'll pay for a director from Tianyu Entertainment to film this movie, and the distribution will be handled by the company. All expenses will be paid at market rates."

"..."

Lin Bao'er looked up at Zhang You.

Judging from this guy's reaction, he seems to have a lot of confidence in this film.

soon.

The dishes she ordered were all served. Both she and Zhang You had work in the afternoon, so they couldn't drink. Moreover, Lin Bao'er didn't dare to drink with Zhang You alone, mainly because of his dark past. What if he got her drunk and beat her up?

Jiang Yiren is a living example.

I don't even know how many times Zhang You, who was drunk, beat me out of my house.

If she gets beaten up... she'll probably just have to accept it, since it's too embarrassing and she'd be too ashamed to tell anyone. So Lin Bao'er ordered two bottles of red bean drinks.

Originally, this beverage was a niche drink, but after Jiang Yiren's song "Red Bean" became a hit, it gained popularity and sales skyrocketed. Even the beverage packaging was changed to Wang Wei's poem "Acacia". Needless to say, the beverage's manufacturer must have been secretly overjoyed.

But he's not very particular about how he does things.

Normally, since Jiang Yiren has made this beverage popular, they should simply invite her to be the spokesperson for this product to achieve a win-win situation. But instead, they are reluctant to part with the tens of millions of yuan in endorsement fees.

Zhang You took the drink and poured a glass for Lin Bao'er. The woman was watching "Goodbye Mr. Loser," so Zhang You didn't disturb her. Anyway, even if Lin Bao'er didn't eat the king crab, he could finish it by himself.

Holding his phone in one hand and taking a sip of his drink in the other.

suddenly.

Seemingly seeing something funny, Lin Bao'er burst out laughing without warning. The key point is that when she laughed, her head even lowered slightly, as if she wanted to spray it onto the floor, but she couldn't help it the moment she lowered her head.

It was originally just a two-person wooden table. It would have been better if she hadn't sprayed it. After she sprayed it, not only were several dishes that Zhang You hadn't even had a chance to eat a few bites of ruined, but his pants were also sprayed.

"Lin Bao'er"

Zhang You shouted angrily.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry"

Lin Bao'er quickly put down her phone and came over, pulling out a tissue to wipe Zhang You's crotch with the red bean drink.

"You're so annoying..."

Zhang Yougang wanted to express his dissatisfaction, but he stopped talking midway through his speech. Lin Bao'er, while wiping, also realized something... She couldn't help but realize it, because the sensation of her palm touching the surface had clearly conveyed it to her.
