My wife is in my arms

Chapter 728 Chorus Nine

in the afternoon.

Zhang You stayed at Liu Fei's house until evening before leaving. Before leaving, Zhang You had already told her that the two of them would go to Tianyu Entertainment to record "Modern Love Story" the next afternoon.

Since the two have already sung a duet.

Then this song will naturally be released.

Liu Fei's agent even demanded 40% of the song's revenue, but Zhang You refused outright.

After a while of negotiation, Zhang You finally couldn't take it anymore and said, "If it doesn't work, then forget it. I'll find someone else to record it." Only then did Liu Fei's agent finally agree to Zhang You's offer of a 15% share of the profits.

Singing alongside pop diva Liu Fei will undoubtedly boost sales of "Modern Love Story," a point Zhang You acknowledges, especially since this song is arguably her first single released after years of retirement from the music scene.

Once released, it is bound to achieve good results.

The song "Modern Love Story" was released in 1991 and has remained popular in the music scene for over 30 years, which speaks volumes about its quality.

Combining the two might produce unexpected results.

But forty percent... Zhang You naturally couldn't accept that.

Liu Fei is a pop diva.

Jiang Yiren is also a singer.

If all else fails... he lowered his expectations for the song and decided to use it as a promotional tool. It was only because of this collaboration that Zhang Youcai brought it up. Otherwise, his wife wouldn't be able to sing in Cantonese, but Zhang Yizong would be fine with it!
Having helped her so much, I've become a tool for her help. Under these circumstances, I figured Zhang wouldn't refuse to let her sing a song for free so I could earn some money to buy some... tonics.

So, since he doesn't absolutely need Liu Fei, how dare he make such a demand? It's simply outrageous.

However, this is relative to Zhang You. If it were any other singer, they would definitely feel honored to collaborate with her and might even give her 70% of their potential.

But Zhang You would not do that.

The main issue is that there's a ceiling to how many songs can be sold; there's not much room for improvement. So, it would be better to have a different female singer perform the song.

Zhang You had no objection to 15%, as being able to sing a song with this person was a way to elevate his status.

Why did you agree?!

Li Xiaohong looked at Liu Fei with dissatisfaction and asked.

"Modern Love Story" is pretty good.

Liu Fei replied casually.

"Even if it's good, you can't only ask for 15%! That's not much money at all. You might as well release your own single."

Li Xiaohong said angrily.

"He's a really good songwriter."

Liu Fei looked up and glanced calmly at her manager, saying, "This time... my duet with him should earn him a lot of money. Then when I ask him for a song, he won't refuse."

"Feifei, I admit Zhang Youcai is very talented in songwriting and composing, but he's not the only top-tier music creator in the industry. If you agree, I can find ten songs for you within a week."

Li Xiaohong's words are not an exaggeration.

Once Liu Fei reveals her desire to release a single, many music creators in the industry will volunteer themselves. Liu Fei can then choose a song that suits her, and there is no need for her to compromise just to collaborate with Zhang You.

"His songs 'Red Bean' and 'I Don't Want It This Way' are very suitable for my vocal characteristics."

Liu Fei spoke up.

"..."

Li Xiaohong fell silent instantly. "Red Bean and I Don't Want It This Way," a song Zhang You wrote for his wife Jiang Yiren, is the one that best suits Fei Fei's voice among all of Zhang You's songs; Li Xiaohong had heard her sing it before.

To put it bluntly, this song is only sung by Jiang Yiren. If Liu Fei sang it, the sales would not only double, but at least increase by a third.

Then, she heard Liu Fei say, "I asked him this afternoon if he had any more songs in this style, and he nodded."

"..."

Li Xiaohong's eyes began to light up.

Liu Fei is not short of money and does not need to worry about money, but her love for singing is undeniable.

During her years of retirement, she would sing at home whenever she had free time. To satisfy her love of singing, she even set up a karaoke room at home. So she doesn't sing for money, but she has higher requirements for the quality of her songs.

However, Liu Fei is not short of money, but her agent is very short of money. She has been short of money ever since her son started his business a few years ago.

I can't just ignore it! He's my only son, and if I try to take care of him, he has no talent for investing, and he's only getting worse every year.

This year, Liu Fei took the initiative to come out.

Otherwise, in another year, she would have to find a way to persuade her to come out.

Han Hui said she gave birth to a lazybones who has no ambition. To put it bluntly, Han Hui is lucky. Even a lazybones is better than a lazybones who has no ability to improve!

Over the past few years, she has almost squandered all her savings for her funeral. Han Hui put it nicely... that she simply ignores him. But what parent can just say they don't care?

Besides, Han Hui said that, but in reality, she had wanted to help her lazy son earlier. So, being stubborn is often useless. A truly ruthless person is one who can righteously refuse when their child actually asks for something.

Anyway, there are no parents like that in the industry.

You should help the child at least a few times before giving up, only when you see that they really can't be helped. Before that, you should at least let the child try, and you won't know the result until you try.

Under Liu Fei's gaze, Li Xiaohong took out her phone, opened Han Hui's chat account, and sent a video call request. She was not very familiar with Zhang You yet, so she directly asked him to help Liu Fei find a song... Liu Fei had mentioned that she had tried to buy "Next Year Today" from Zhang You last time, but although she didn't say it explicitly, Zhang You still politely refused.

In this situation, even if she speaks up, it won't work.

The lunch, in particular, was very unpleasant for them.

If it were any other musician, they wouldn't need to go to such lengths, but Zhang You is definitely different.

Liu Fei has a high status in the music industry and a strong appeal, that's for sure. But Zhang You is no less influential either. In fact, if you really want to be precise, he is a top lyricist and composer. Even though Liu Fei is... I think he's two years older, he still has to call him "teacher".

This guy only came out last year, and his fame has soared this year. If he hadn't stayed at home and was just languishing for so many years, and had come out after marrying Jiang Yiren, he probably would have won every music award by now, and he might even have become a superstar.

it's good now.

Many people in the entertainment industry who are younger than him are his seniors.

Seeing Han Hui's face appear on the screen in her hand, the woman who was having dinner at the moment, Li Xiaohong smiled and said, "Beautiful Han..."

"..."

Han Hui paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Don't call me that. Zhang Xiyu's manager called me that not long ago, and then asked me for help. You're calling me that now too... you must also be asking me for help. Let me make it clear first, if you want me to talk to Yiren and see if I can buy the song from her husband without having to ask, I don't have that kind of influence."

talking.

Han Hui asked with a smile, "Li Xiaohong, I heard from Yiren that Zhang You went to Liu Fei's house this morning. You should be careful. Zhang You is very charming; he might steal Liu Fei away. You'll regret it then. I'm just reminding you as a friend. Don't think that just because Liu Fei is a vegetarian and doesn't have a boyfriend, she'll stay that way forever. You know, the more a woman suppresses her desires, the more explosive they become."

Li Xiaohong raised her phone and pointed it at Liu Fei's face.

"..."
