My wife is in my arms

Chapter 701 Suffering a Loss

Because of Ma Chu's problems, Yan Mei, as his agent, was inevitably affected.

Just like Han Hui back then.

However, compared to the problems caused by Jiang Yiren's choice to marry the man in front of her, Ma Chu's situation is obviously much more serious. After all, it is a very normal thing for a woman to get married. It's just that the person she chooses to marry does not meet the expectations of Jiang Yiren's family and fans for her partner.

But if she wants to get married, no one else can say anything.

however.

Han Hui's problem seemed minor, but she actually suffered a lot as a result. During that period, she was frequently reprimanded by the company's senior management, and she was often brought up as a negative example in meetings.

It was because she, as the agent, failed to keep a close eye on Jiang Yiren.

This led her to meet Zhang You and marry him without hesitation. At that time, Chairman Lin... not the current Chairman Lin, but Chairman Lin Shirong, saw every artist in the company as a money-making tool.

Even though Jiang Yi comes from a prominent family, her agency contract cannot hide this fact.

Compared to other artists without connections, Jiang Yiren's family background likely had a certain deterrent effect, and Chairman Lin Shirong ultimately did not sue Jiang Yiren according to certain terms of the contract.

It's considered a default assumption.

But it was tough on Han Hui. Yan Mei had known her for years. This woman had always been very strong-willed. When she was young, she divorced her husband over a small matter. She was so decisive that it didn't seem like a big deal like ending a marriage. But because of Jiang Yiren's marriage, she was repeatedly reprimanded by the company's senior management. She must have felt incredibly frustrated.

Yan Mei even thought that this woman might choose to resign, but... this woman actually endured it. Then Jiang Yiren's marriage was in frequent trouble, and she would be on the trending topics every now and then.

To put it bluntly.

Although she made a lot of money from Jiang Yiren, no one in the agent circle envied her.

There were just too many things to deal with. On one hand, he was busy helping Jiang Yiren refute the rumors, and on the other hand, he had to communicate with various media outlets and newspapers to withdraw the reported news. He had been busy like this for several years. He cared about Jiang Yiren more than Jiang Yiren's mother did.

During the most difficult period, Han Hui became extremely thin, weighing no more than 80 pounds, and her hair began to turn gray.

After what happened to Ma Chu, she went through almost everything Han Hui had gone through. Even though Jiang Yiren had all sorts of troubles with her current husband after getting married, she was still able to make money.

Ma Chu was different; he was sidelined.

He had no source of income and lived off his savings. Since he had no income, Yan Mei naturally had no income either. Although she, as an agent, could manage another one, before becoming Ma Chu's agent, they had signed agreements with the company that included bringing Ma Chu out of the industry, which was a very normal thing at Tianyu Entertainment.

You have to take care of the artists you choose yourself.

When celebrities have problems, they also suffer the consequences.

The principle of "if one suffers, all suffer; if one prospers, all prosper" applies here.

Other entertainment companies don't have this restriction. When an artist gets into trouble, the agent simply loses someone from whom they can get a cut. But Tianyu Entertainment is different; it's a kind of binding arrangement.

It's not that I disagree with agents managing multiple artists, but first they need to develop the artist they initially chose before finding a newcomer to manage. If they can't even manage the first one well, how can they manage the second?

Trainees are not fish.

There's no reason to cast a wide net and catch too many fish.

Obviously.

The company has established this rule because its core value is "focus leads to success".

The hope is that the agent will focus their energy and time on one project, so that there is a possibility of creating a superstar. If only one superstar is produced, the company can not only recover all its investment, but also have long-term and stable income.

Because of this, after Ma Chu's accident, she was also implicated. Now... Yan Mei tried to control her trembling body by clenching her hands.

To outsiders, celebrity agents seem high and mighty, taking a cut of every gig an artist gets. However, their work is actually very stressful. It's better if the artist is honest and straightforward.

If you happen to encounter a dishonest person... like Jiang Yiren in the past, or Ma Chu in the past, it would be a disaster for the agent. On one hand, they would have to help them deal with public opinion, and on the other hand, they would have to bear the pressure from the company and the punishment they would face.

Now Han Hui's suffering has finally come to an end.

Jiang Yiren's marriage is stable, and she has become an undisputed queen of pop. Now, any song she releases can easily get tens of millions of purchases.

Yan Mei felt that, based on... every time Han Hui mentioned this man she wanted to kill herself, Ma Chu's return to the music scene was a foregone conclusion.

If she could be as lucky as Han Hui, and Ma Chu could become a singing king... she wouldn't dare to dream of becoming a superstar. You know, Tianyu Entertainment has never produced a superstar so far.

This is an achievement that not everyone can attain.

She sings well.

Acting skills also need to be good.

There aren't many people who can meet both of these conditions.

Then, Yan Mei glanced at Zhang You, as if if Tianyu Entertainment had the highest probability of becoming a superstar, it would definitely be this guy.

After the broadcast of "Cracking the Case", his acting skills were recognized by many people in the industry.

As a result, many people say that this guy doesn't seem like a newcomer at all. As for whether that's true or not... netizens may not know, but Yan Mei, as Jiang Yiren's agent and an old friend, knows it very well. This guy is indeed a genuine newcomer actor.

But perhaps, as Han Hui said, "She can write lyrics and compose music in no time, and her singing is so captivating that it makes people want to kneel down. Her acting is the same; she's even more difficult to understand than an equation."

It seems that the father was a master composer and the mother was a dancer, but even so... their sudden appearance is indeed puzzling.

As for singing... only fans have the right to comment on him. Every singer in the industry, even if given the chance to speak, wouldn't dare to comment casually.

A top-tier musician who writes lyrics and composes music—who would dare offend him?!

Moreover, he is also the music director of Tianyu Entertainment.

After helping Ma Chu record "Until the End of the World," Zhang You headed to the floor where Lin Bao'er was. Recording a song is quick once you find the key problem points.

What I'm afraid of is recording a completely new song.

Without the original audio for comparison, it needs to be polished little by little, which takes a long time. It is common for a song to take two or three weeks to record.

"What do you want from me!?"

Zhang You plopped down in the chair opposite Lin Bao'er's desk.

"Good thing"

Lin Bao'er handed over a signed document and said with a smile, "The bet we made at noon wasn't quite as fun as I'd like to increase the stakes a bit more."

"What's the meaning!?"

Zhang You frowned.

Lin Bao'er placed her fingers on the edge of the desk and applied a little force, causing the chair to slide back a short distance, revealing her upper body, which was wearing a long-sleeved shirt.

She patted her lower abdomen and said with a smile, "I'll add my belly."
