My wife is in my arms

Chapter 759 Finally, the act reached ten.
Zhang You was the only one who didn't know just how good Jin Zhen's singing was, which he claimed was "okay."

Otherwise, he really was planning to sign her.

But Zhang You thought of "Wawa". If Jin Zhen is similar, then it's just a one-off deal. Singing this song based on his own experience is fine.

Let's skip the other songs.

There's no need to pay a hefty signing fee and then spend time and energy promoting her.

After negotiating with Bao'er again, Zhang You finally took 70% of the price. He left the rest to Tianyu Entertainment. Whether they signed Jin Zhen or took 20% of the profits from "Across the Ocean to See You," Zhang You was too lazy to worry about it anymore.

As for him personally handing over a million to Jin Zhen and then demanding all the profits from "Crossing the Ocean to See You," that's too shameless. For now, he still has some dignity left.

Let Tianyu Entertainment play the villain!
"Can't I sing this song?!"

Jiang Yiren asked.

"Some songs are most moving when sung by specific people, especially since the show aired and so many people saw it, so having Jin Zhen sing it is undoubtedly the best choice."

Zhang You replied.

On Earth, no matter how many times the song "I've Crossed the Ocean to See You" has been covered, there are famous singers, including Jonathan Lee himself, who has sung it more than once, as well as contestants with voices that can stun the audience, such as Liu Mingxiang.

But all things considered, the best rendition comes from Kim Ji-juan, who personally experienced that love story. She not only poured her genuine emotions into the song but also captured its very soul.

To put it bluntly.

It was only after Wawa sang this song that it became a timeless classic in the music scene. If someone else had sung it, probably no one would have listened to it long ago.

No need to listen to anything else, just listen to the two lines of "A strange city! A familiar corner" sung by the child, and then compare it with others. The difference is so great that it is obvious at a glance.

Before Zhang You came over, he heard many people say that Liu Mingxiang's cover of the song had taken it to a new level, and some people even said that they only knew the song existed after listening to her sing it.

Zhang You just smiled.

He couldn't say anything else.

This song simply became a song that a generation would occasionally listen to as they grew up. It's not that no one listens to it anymore. The people who say they've never heard this song are simply those who weren't even born when it was released.

Later, when the singer performed the song, many older fans were still willing to buy tickets.

This is also a kind of tragedy, just like the song "Promise". It is said that it was made popular by a small internet celebrity. When Li Yijun's song became popular all over the streets, this small internet celebrity was still in the womb.

She benefited from someone else's success, but was then accused of benefiting from a minor internet celebrity's success, and forced to thank this minor internet celebrity. It's fortunate that her songs weren't covered by the minor internet celebrity, otherwise Zhang You would have directly banned the minor internet celebrity from singing them again.

After others have finished chopping wood, boiling water, and cooking, the internet celebrity comes over with an empty bowl, fills it up, and leaves. Not only does he take advantage of others, but he also criticizes the food like a gourmet.

If you're so capable, go create your own original content.

"No doubt about it."

The beautiful Zhang said, "After this impromptu creation, you'll be the most talented lyricist from now on. If you were to die right now, you'd probably become a legend in the music industry... no, I mean a legend in the music world."

"hehe"

Although the beautiful Zhang had a grudge against him, Zhang You didn't care. On the contrary, he was very pleased.

"Legend" is indeed an exciting word, but he won't die anytime soon. After all, he has only died once before. If he were to die again, no matter how legendary it is, Zhang You couldn't accept it.

However, it seems that whether someone dies or not has absolutely nothing to do with whether the person involved can accept it.

It seems that this song was also created by Brother Zongsheng on the spot based on Jin Zhijuan's story. Thinking of this, Zhang You's excitement about the perfect ending instantly subsided.

That was a true impromptu creation, while his was just a copy made on the spur of the moment when an opportunity presented itself.

"Dad, you must have been very good at Chinese when you were a child."

Xiao Zishan suddenly blurted out this sentence. "..."

Zhang You's expression showed a momentary embarrassment, then he smiled and nodded, saying, "It's alright, I've only gotten full marks on my Chinese essays seven or eight times."

"A perfect score in Chinese? Are you serious?!"

The beautiful Zhang immediately raised this question.

Jiang Yiren looked at her husband in surprise. Getting a perfect score in Chinese is much harder than composing a song on the spot, but if that's the case, it makes perfect sense.

Because I'm good at Chinese, I'm able to write so many great lyrics.

But... how can this be so hard to believe!?
Zhang You chuckled twice, then looked down at his phone. After reading through everyone's exclamations, Zhang You patted Xiao Shan's head with satisfaction and said, "College student, you can go do your homework now. I hope you can be as outstanding as your dad in the future."

Zhang Yi couldn't help but laugh.

She was getting carried away with her act. She patted Zhang You on the shoulder and said, "That's enough. We already know how good you are, there's no need to keep emphasizing it."

"You said you wrote a lot of songs before, where are those songs now!?"

Jiang Yiren then turned her attention to another matter.

"It's in my head. If you want, you can take me to the hospital tomorrow."

Zhang You casually replied, then added irritably, "Where would I get so many songs? If people ask, I can't exactly say that every song was impromptu, can I? Nobody would believe me."

Back in the second bedroom.

Zhang You leaned against the headboard and opened his phone to look at the comments from netizens about his impromptu writing.

Li Liping may indeed be very popular with the audience. After she vouched for him with her own reputation, even the beautiful Zhang and Jiang Yiren, who were initially unwilling to believe it, believed it.

Just like the two of them.

Now online comments have also changed.

"I knew it! Why would Zhang You need to collude with the production team? He's already so famous!"

"Wow, that's awesome, buddy!"

"After listening to Brother You teach me how to write lyrics, I feel like I can write them too. Take a look at what I wrote: 'I've drunk my fill of sandstorms and strong liquor, I've had cupping and scraping, I haven't been home for three days and two nights, and my wife has to sleep at someone else's house...'"

The corners of Zhang You's mouth twitched a few times.

The lyrics are quite rhyming, but he really wants to know what happens next in the story of "his wife sleeping at someone else's house".

"It seems that Jin Zhen is real, her story is real, and Zhang You's impromptu creation based on her story is also real. It seems that only I am fake."

I still don't want to believe it.

"It's nothing. As far as I know, it's common for many lyricists in the industry to write a good song in just a few minutes or ten minutes when inspiration strikes."

"Zhang You's a cappella singing is truly unbeatable; I don't think I've ever heard any other singer sing as well as him a cappella."

"Jin Zhen's story made me cry once, and Zhang You's a cappella performance made me cry again."

"From today onwards, Brother You, you are my god."

I saw this comment.

Zhang You picked up his water glass and took a sip. The water was still warm, but it felt like drinking an ice-cold beverage when he was sweating the most on a hot summer day—it was so refreshing it made him feel like he was flying.
