My wife is in my arms

Chapter 700 Suffering a Loss

But Zhang You is indeed not easy to fool.

Lin Bao'er could clearly sense that... this guy seemed to have the same idea as her; she wanted to take advantage of him, while Zhang You wanted to take advantage of her.

Let's not talk about company resources.

To put it simply, at noon, she had only dirtied this guy's pants. After she withdrew her hand, he immediately demanded that she pay for a new pair, saying things like, "As a big star, I never wear pants that cost less than two thousand yuan."

That's utter nonsense.

The fabric of the pants Zhang You was wearing... cost at most two hundred yuan. If it exceeded that price, she could have reported it to the Consumer Association. So this guy was just using this opportunity to extort a good pair of pants from her.

Ultimately, he was in the wrong and had even touched Zhang Xiaoyou.

So she reluctantly agreed and asked a waiter from the Chinese restaurant to buy one for her, paying him a little extra for the service.

If only that was it.

When she got up to go to the bathroom to wash her hands, Zhang You actually followed her. Although she later learned that he was cleaning his pants, his words still revealed his true nature of wanting to take advantage of her.

"I have to keep an eye on you. What if you also use the excuse of going to the bathroom to slip away? I'd be at a huge loss then."

Had a meal.

She planned to finish her remaining drink before leaving, but Zhang You had something to say again, saying, "Stop dawdling. You said you were paying for lunch, so even if you stay here all day, I'm going to wait until you pay."

Even if this guy might be joking with me.

But making too many of these jokes would undoubtedly highlight a certain stingy nature hidden within her. That's why Lin Bao'er knew it wouldn't be easy to get the script from Zhang You.

After pondering for a while,
Lin Bao'er instantly had an idea.

We've already made a bet!
Then we'll force Zhang You to fight us again, because the investment share of this script company must exceed one-quarter of what Zhang You said.

Without much hesitation.

Lin Bao'er picked up the phone on the table and dialed Zhang You's number. It rang several times before Zhang You's impatient voice came through, saying, "What is it now?!"

"Let's have a good chat after we finish recording the song."

Lin Bao'er wasn't angry. After all, Zhang You wrote the script, and she had been trying to take advantage of him. So, she still smiled and said, "Let's talk about the script for 'Goodbye Mr. Loser'."

"I've already said I'll give the company a maximum of one-quarter of the shares."

Zhang You said seriously.

"Don't be so sure. Let's talk about it when you come up. Don't worry... the company won't take advantage of you. We guarantee we'll give you a satisfactory solution. It's settled then. Remember to come up when you're done. As for the pants, I'll have Assistant Song pick them up from the dry cleaners for you later, so you don't have to run back and forth."

After hanging up the phone.

Lin Bao'er's face showed satisfaction.

As long as Zhang You comes along, there will be room for maneuver. In any case, the company will definitely have the upper hand over the script for "Goodbye Mr. Loser". If we hadn't encountered it, so be it. But since we have, there's no reason to miss it.

In today's film and television industry, there is no shortage of good directors or good actors, but there is a lack of good scripts.

Both scripts Zhang You wrote were of high quality and had novel themes, especially "Goodbye Mr. Loser," which was practically her dream script. Through these two scripts, Lin Bao'er discovered that besides his musical talent, Zhang You was also a very good screenwriter. She wondered how such a small head could be filled with so much wisdom and inspiration!

It's just that this guy didn't want to sign with the company, otherwise... she would definitely train him well, and let Zhang You take over after she retires. Thinking of this, Lin Bao'er couldn't help but laugh again.

Zhang You is about the same age as her. By the time she retires, Zhang You will probably have osteoporosis by then, and he won't have the energy to take over the company. It's a pity... It's just that he has been idle for so many years. Otherwise, he would have a place in the music industry or the investment field long ago. With his talent and screenwriting skills, he might even be able to sit down and discuss things with top billionaires.

It's only coming out now.

It's not too late, though.

But it was indeed a bit too late, almost ten years wasted. If she had had those ten years to develop, who knows what her life would have been like? Perhaps, just as her father said, she would already be a superstar.

In the recording studio.

"Don't show off your singing skills"

Zhang You said to Ma Chu, "Just use your unique vocal timbre and resonance to perform this song, and you'll be fine."

Back at the company, Zhang You planned to rest for a while before starting to record songs for his album, but he didn't expect that Ma Chu and his manager were already waiting there.

Ma Chu was intently reading his song "Until the End of the World," while his manager stood excitedly to the side after listening to him sing the lyrics a cappella.

Upon seeing Zhang You return, the two immediately greeted him respectfully and invited him to be the producer of the single.

Faced with such a request, Zhang You couldn't refuse, mainly because Ma Chu was a signed singer of the company, and he was the music director of Tianyu Entertainment, so helping him record songs was within his job scope.

Hearing Zhang You say that, Ma Chu nodded.

then.

He sang a few lines a cappella in front of Zhang You.
"In the chorus, the pronunciation should include slightly more breath pressure and closure. This will enhance the song's emotional impact, depth, and power."

Zhang You corrected it again.

Ma Chu's manager stood by the side the whole time. She didn't dare to disturb Director Zhang and Ma Chu's work. As Ma Chu's manager, Yan Mei knew Ma Chu very well. Ma Chu was very proud of his singing skills and timbre. Before he was blacklisted by the company, the company's music director would argue for a long time when helping him record songs.

But this time... facing this director, his honesty made her feel unfamiliar. However, it's also possible that being sidelined had worn away his usual arrogance, and he had learned to respect others.

After Zhang You made three consecutive adjustments, Ma Chu walked into the recording studio, put on his headset, looked at the lyrics on the teleprompter, and began the formal recording.

"I've wandered alone for too long in this cold forest, like an empty can that's been thrown away. Who cares about the rust in your heart? That muddy hillside can end this loneliness..."

Ma Chu's timbre matches this song very well; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's a perfect match.

From the moment he opened his mouth, Ma Chu perfectly expressed the loneliness in the song and his longing for the future. Standing next to Zhang You, Yan Mei's hands trembled slightly with excitement when she heard Ma Chu sing the song with background music.

She had a feeling that once Ma Chu released this song, he would easily reappear in the public eye.

He turned his head and secretly glanced at Zhang You.

This person is really amazing.

In just one night, such a beautiful song was created based on Ma Chu's vocal characteristics.
