My wife is in my arms

Chapter 781 Music Variety Shows (Part 1)
As an agent, Han Hui's sources of information are undoubtedly reliable.

When the ratings for the first episode of Special Voice Season 2 appeared on the desks of executives at major entertainment companies, how could these companies not be tempted?!

It's like following a trend after a certain movie genre becomes popular.

The trend of copying variety shows is also very prevalent. Although everyone initially paid attention to "Special Voice", everyone knew that the reason why the first season was successful was because Zhang You's performance in the competition was really outstanding.

People may have already made their predictions about the second season's ratings, but no one expected it to be this high, especially since the production costs for the second season have deterred many interested entertainment companies from launching the project.

The appearance fees for just a few participating singers alone cost over 400 million yuan. Then, add in the production costs, and these two items alone would have cost at least 600 to 700 million yuan to make it work. But after the ratings came out, everyone's opinion changed.

I think that even if the appearance fees of the contestants are high and the production costs are not low, it is still profitable.

It's worth noting that several advertising slots for the second season of "Special Voice" were still vacant because brands were asking for too much money! Now, you can't even get a chance to participate without spending at least 100 million.

In any case, as long as the content of "Special Voice" doesn't fall apart, the show alone will bring in enviable profits.

So that morning, apart from Chairman Lin of Tianyu Entertainment holding an internal meeting after receiving the ratings, other companies held a series of discussions in their meetings about the ratings of the second season of "Special Voice" and whether their companies could also produce a similar program.

However, these things have little to do with Zhang You.

Early in the morning.

He then transferred several lawyers from Tianyu Entertainment's legal department to Ai Music's headquarters building on Chengnan Road, where they signed a new cooperation agreement.

Signed.

He stayed at Ai Music and had dinner with its chairman and a group of executives in a private room at the headquarters restaurant, including the woman who had suddenly spoken up and directly presided over the negotiations the night before.

It wasn't surprising to Zhang You that this woman was the beloved daughter of the chairman of Ai Music. He guessed that the people there had also guessed it and didn't dare to cause trouble because they hadn't criticized or stopped her from overstepping her bounds last night.

After lunch, Zhang You didn't linger at the iMusic headquarters because he had to record the next episode of "Special Voice" that afternoon. He said goodbye to a few executives and left.

"Teacher Zhang, let's exchange contact information!"

Li Jin'an smiled and said, "The company has assigned me to handle your liaison work. Just let me know if you need anything in the future. I hope we can work together smoothly."

Zhang You took out his phone and exchanged contact information with the music-loving young lady.

Now that this young lady has revealed her identity, she must take on the responsibility of... if Zhang You is not mistaken, it should be the operation of the overseas music platform.

At 1:30 p.m., Zhang You's car was parked in the TV station's garage. He asked a few routine questions, to which Zhang You gave a few perfunctory replies.

Before even entering the lounge, Zhang You noticed that everyone had an uncontrollable look of joy on their faces.

Zhang You, who already knew the ratings of "Special Voice" last night from Han Hui, was not surprised by this.

A hit variety show can generate significant commercial value, and the staff involved in the show will also benefit. Even if they leave the TV station for other companies in the future, their resumes will be highly regarded, and they will receive higher positions and salaries than others.

So it's normal to be happy, and even if they don't leave the company, the staff bonuses this month will definitely be substantial.

"Teacher Zhang, last night's 'Special Voice' had an average viewership rating of 3.5."

Liu Ling, who had just come out of the lounge, immediately greeted Zhang You with a smile and shared the good news.

"Wow! It's that tall!?"

Zhang You feigned surprise.

in fact.

Even if this show becomes a hit, it won't have much to do with him, unless he plans to continue doing variety shows. But even if he does... unless it's a music variety show, his appearance fee definitely won't exceed 75 million. "Teacher Zhang, you're just pretending! I don't believe you don't know."

Liu Ling smiled.

I'm providing you with emotional value.

Zhang You laughed.

"You're amazing! You composed such a beautiful song on the spot. I know Li Liping; she's not one to joke about work."

Liu Ling gave Zhang You a thumbs up and then said, "To be honest, at first our production team thought your appearance fee was too high, but now it seems... if there's a next season, you can ask for whatever you want, and I believe they'll definitely agree."

I'll tell Director Ning what you said in a bit.

Zhang You made a joke.

"Go and tell them right away."

Taking the USB drive from Zhang You, Liu Ling smiled and waved, saying, "I have to go now, see you later..." She paused slightly, but eventually walked away.

Originally, a friend of his, who was also a host, asked him to invite Zhang You to participate in a program he co-hosted with another host, but he really couldn't bring himself to ask.

Although he now knows Zhang You, they are not very familiar with each other.

In this situation, it would be inappropriate to rashly invite others to help. However, it wouldn't be a free favor. His friend said he would give Zhang You one million as an appearance fee. If it were any other artist, one million would already be considered a high price.

After all, he was only recording one episode as a guest, which wouldn't take too long, but one million was really too little for Zhang You.

The two songs they released last night... the songs they performed in the episode of "Special Voice" that aired last night, sold for so much money, how could they care about a mere million?

But since my friend asked, I couldn't refuse to help.

So Liu Ling decided to wait a while before bringing it up. He didn't care whether others would agree or not, and even he didn't think it was a good idea. Anyway, his friend's show was still being filmed, so it wouldn't make much difference if it was a little later or earlier.

Zhang You's figure appeared.

Wearing a beautiful and gentle plaid long dress, Zhang Xiyu immediately smiled and respectfully greeted, "Hello, Director Zhang."

"..."

Zhang You was stunned.

He knew, of course, that Zhang Xiyu's contract had been signed with Tianyu Entertainment. As a singer signed with Tianyu Entertainment, there was nothing wrong with what she did. But Zhang You still smiled and replied, "Not bad! Very sensible. After the recording, come home with me. I want to test your singing skills."

Zheng Tiannan, dressed in a black suit, burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Even Qin Tai couldn't help but react, while Xue Linchao didn't seem to care. Liu Fei smiled and casually reminded him, "The camera's rolling!"

Only Wang Lei's gaze toward Zhang You turned hostile, but he also knew that... since this guy dared to go head-to-head with Rookie Music, he was nothing in Zhang You's eyes.

He suddenly felt powerless.

"It's precisely because I'm filming that I can prove I'm a proper music director."

Zhang You replied with a smile.

"But...Director Zhang, isn't your wife Jiang Yiren at home awaiting childbirth?!"
