My wife is in my arms

Chapter 739 Black Four
Li Xiaohong, who was originally very angry, was petrified when she saw Qin Tai's agent suddenly say this in the midst of a group of agents who were condemning Zhang You's heartless agent.

It turns out that Zhang You really did raise his price. It wasn't because Liu Fei liked his songs that he deliberately raised the price. On the contrary, the initial price of ten million was already a discount.

But this price...

If you call the consumer association to file a complaint, they could arrest this guy.

"Zhang Youzhen has raised her prices."

Before they even reached Liu Fei's house, Li Xiaohong, realizing what had happened, turned and smiled at Liu Fei, who was sitting in the back seat, saying, "Luckily, I pulled you along quickly. Just like that, we saved ten million!"

"He owes a lot of money!?"

Liu Fei suddenly asked.

"..."

Li Xiaohong was taken aback, then realized why Liu Fei had asked that question.

Indeed, 15 million is no longer just about selling songs; it's about catching as many as possible. After thinking for a moment, Li Xiaohong replied, "This guy used to like gambling and lost a lot of money. I heard from Han Hui that he even gambled away his wife, Jiang Yiren, into bankruptcy. I guess he's trying to recoup his losses while so many singers want to buy his songs. But... to put it bluntly, he's likely to ruin himself playing like this."

This was not a joke by Li Xiaohong.

It's 15 million for a song... No matter how good it is, it's still just a song. Its intrinsic value is what it is. Asking for 5 million is already the limit. To raise it any further, especially by such a large margin, is unacceptable.

No need to think about it.

Qin Tai's agency will definitely try to capitalize on this price.

When the song, priced at a staggering 15 million, is released, regardless of its quality, Zhang You will have to endure negative comments from the outside world, followed by a "killing with praise" scenario.

So while this guy may seem to have made money, the ripples he's caused are bound to be far more than just a little.

Even if he did write a decent song for Qin Tai, he would still be criticized by the media because everyone would scrutinize the song under a magnifying glass. Even if the song's quality was similar to "Question," the high price would still not hide the fact that it would be attacked.

I have no idea what this guy was thinking.

With such a strong ability to make money, even if they have a lot of debt, they should have paid it off by now. They can take their time with the rest. Instead, they use this method... It not only shows their pettiness but also makes them seem brainless.

Next... it's estimated that the reputation that was painstakingly built up in the entertainment industry will be completely ruined because of this. As for the price of his own things, he can decide for himself. As long as he doesn't engage in forced sales, no one will say anything. This is fine in other industries, but not in the entertainment industry.

This circle can always find something to cause trouble for you, even if there's nothing wrong with it.

Moreover, Zhang You is involved in something like "sky-high prices".

The mere mention of "Guangqian" suggests that this guy's career in the entertainment industry is about to be hindered, and he might even ruin his career as a result.

Li Xiaohong had no idea that if Zhang You's career was truly hindered, she would definitely have played a part in it, and Zhang You had no intention of asking Liu Fei for such a high price.

Just like many business people.

When you see your relatives or friends coming to buy something, first give them the cost price, and then tell them how much you would normally sell the item for. This way, your relatives and friends will know that you're not actually making a profit, but just charging a favor price.

But this woman, instead of revealing Zhang You's exorbitant offer, exposed the fact that he was asking for too much money. With Qin Tai's agent providing corroborating evidence, what should have been a simple matter became completely complicated.

It's worth noting that some agents have very good relationships with the media.

In order to establish a mutually beneficial relationship, agents might share information they know with the media, and then use this relationship to downplay any negative news about their artists. (Mid-to-late spring)

As the evening glow gilded the flowers and plants in the yard, Zhang You returned home after a day's work. He learned from Han Hui and Jiang Yi that his song had sold for 15 million.

Zhang You thought the two were joking with him.

When Han Hui took out her phone and found the message Qin Tai's agent had sent in the group chat, Zhang You was stunned, as if he had been electrocuted. Then, under the gaze of the two of them, he took out his phone and dialed Lin Bao'er's number.

"What does 15 million mean!?"

Zhang You said angrily.

What else could it mean?

Lin Bao'er laughed and said, "It's just a middleman making a profit. But you know what, the chairman of Rookie Music actually wanted it, Zhang You. This proves that your song is worth more than five million. After I raised the price for you, if any singer asks you to write a song in the future, just ask for the same price. No need to thank me, we're friends! It's normal to help you raise the price."

"Don't you know what this price means?!"

Zhang You asked back.

Having spent so many years in the entertainment industry in his previous life, he had seen and heard all sorts of things. He knew things would go wrong as soon as he heard about this price, even if both parties were willing to pay.

Once the media finds out, Zhang You knows what awaits him without even having to think about it.

"Don't worry, if anything happens, I'll have the company's public relations department help you."

Lin Bao'er said without the slightest worry.

Do you think Tianyu Entertainment's PR department can handle this?!

Zhang You retorted, "Bao'er, others may not know this, but you know very well. You said you wanted ten million before I wrote it, and you sold it for five million more..."

At this point, Zhang You's lips twitched a few times.

He had always considered Lin Bao'er a friend, but before he could gain much from her, she had already taken advantage of him. To be honest, even Zhang You couldn't believe that the rookie music club was so foolish as to actually believe Bao'er's claim that the song she wrote for Qin Tai was a treasured masterpiece.

Even he himself didn't know about this.

However, after a little thought, Zhang You knew that the other party was not stupid, but rather very shrewd. As long as the title "15 million for a song" was printed, Qin Tai's song would become popular. Even if they were not his fans, they would be curious about what kind of song it was with such a high price.

By then, the buzz and the discussion will have been generated.

The number of song purchases increased, but what impact this would have on Zhang You himself was no longer within their consideration.

If he can pull through, then he's really capable.

If you can't hold on, once you've finally gained fame, it all vanishes in an instant.

If he wants to make money again, he can only continue to write songs honestly. However, this should be temporary. After a while, when he comes out again, even if there is still some impact, it will not be significant. After all, it's just a song with a sky-high price tag, not some kind of malicious scandal.

After going over the matter in his mind, Zhang You had a clear understanding of the situation.
