My wife is in my arms

Chapter 790 Can't Compare
The banquet in the hotel's private room was not yet over.

Tonight is a gathering of friends, only four people in total: Tan Yao and her husband, Bai Li and her new boyfriend. As a talented female singer in the industry, Tan Yao's husband is not in the industry, but is a senior executive of a well-known company.

In terms of income, he naturally cannot compare with Tan Yao.

But sometimes love comes unexpectedly. Even Tan Yao herself said on a TV show, "I never thought I would marry my husband, but now that we're married, it feels pretty good."

When she said that, several female fans of BL (Boys' Love) in the audience couldn't help but laugh.

However, no one felt that this man was unworthy of Tan Yao, simply because when Tan Yao's career suffered a serious setback, it was always her current husband who accompanied her. In addition, whenever he had time, he would cook soup for Tan Yao, who was busy developing her career.

If you're not moved by a man like that once or twice, it's inevitable that you'll be moved over time, after getting to know his character and personality better.

As for the impact of a female celebrity's marriage on her career, compared to young male and female celebrities, it doesn't have much of an impact on a female singer like her, since she doesn't rely on her looks and figure for a living.

Compared to her, Bai Li is much more carefree. She is thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, unmarried, and has had one boyfriend after another, except for her love of handbags. The appearance of this new boyfriend is not long after she ended her previous relationship. However, this kind of thing is nothing unusual in the entertainment industry.

Unmarried male celebrities can date one girlfriend, break up, and then date another, so why can't female celebrities do the same? Therefore, neither Tan Yao nor Bai Li took this seriously.

What's wrong with dating before marriage?

Because Bai Li is beautiful and has a good figure, the men who pursue her are all high-quality and outstanding men, like the one who appeared today. His father is the owner of a children's clothing brand, and he is an only son.

After meeting Bai Li at a banquet some time ago, I developed a slight interest in her. As for whether it was just for fun, no one knows.

Ultimately, in any relationship between a man and a woman that doesn't aim for marriage, it all comes down to who has the higher level of skill.

It's true that Bai Li likes buying bags, but she's not the type to collect men.

"Weren't we supposed to help out Zheng Tiannan with his singing this afternoon? How did it go!?"

Bai Li asked the question.

"Extremely nervous"

Tan Yao replied earnestly, "Watching it at home, I felt it was just another music variety show. It's not like I haven't participated before. In the first season of 'Special Voice,' I sang without any pressure. But this time is different. I'm worried that I won't perform well and will let Teacher Zheng Tiannan down."

“Is this true?!”

Bai Li was somewhat skeptical.

After all, she and Tan Yao had competed in the first season, and she didn't seem nervous at all.

"real"

Tan Yao replied, "Think carefully about who's in the second season. Among the contestants, let's not even talk about Zhang You... his live performance is even better than his singles, and his breath control throughout is terrifying. To this day, it's the first time I've seen someone whose live performance sounds so significantly better than their headphones. Then there's the diva Liu Fei; her voice has a very strong structure and penetrating power. As for the others, let's not say much more. Anyway... to be honest, it's just that the production team didn't invite me. If they had, I probably wouldn't have lasted two episodes before being eliminated."

"I almost forgot about Zhang You if you hadn't mentioned him."

At this time.

Tan Yao's husband spoke up, "The company had a meeting yesterday, and they said they were planning to invite Zhang You to be the spokesperson for one of our products. They also asked me about Zhang You's current endorsement fee. What do you think is a reasonable amount?"

"Minimum 18 million or more"

Bai Li said.

"So tall!?" Tan Yao's husband exclaimed. "Didn't he just become famous recently!?"

"It's true that he's only recently become famous, but his current fame is huge, and more importantly... if your company's price is lower than this, he won't even look at it. Haven't you seen the trending topics these past few days? He sold one song for an astronomical price. Don't think nobody's buying them. It's just that this guy doesn't release his old songs for people to choose from. Otherwise, I would sell everything I own to buy one."

talking.

Bai Li said with a pained expression, "My song 'Encounter' only cost a few million, but I didn't buy it. Then Jiang Yiren took it and sang it. Yesterday, when I saw it, the purchase volume had exceeded 50 million. I almost regretted it to death. If I had known this would happen, I would have bought it without hesitation when Zhang You said it was his most treasured song."

"hehe"

Seeing Bai Li's expression, Tan Yao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

No one knows better than Bai Li about missing out on the song "Encounter" because of price issues.

Bai Li had been acting like she didn't care, but it turns out she was just pretending. Now she's finally telling the truth!

It's quite a pity, though, with over 50 million purchases! Who would have thought that such a gentle song would become so popular? This also indirectly shows that Zhang You's hidden gems are all hit songs that can help other singers take their careers to the next level.

"It's just a song! If you like it, I'll have someone buy it for you from Zhang You tomorrow."

Bai Li's new boyfriend's words not only made Tan Yao's expression freeze for a moment, but even Bai Li's face turned somewhat unpleasant. Then, Tan Yao saw Bai Li suddenly smile and say, "Great! Zhang You's song only costs fifteen million."

"..."

Bai Li's new boyfriend immediately fell silent.

Tan Yao glanced at Bai Li, his new boyfriend, but didn't say anything.

Instead, she turned to her husband and said, "Don't get involved in Zhang You's endorsement deal. To put it bluntly, 18 million a year is what Bai Li and I are saying. With his current fame and earning power, even if your company were willing to offer 20 million a year, whether he would agree is another matter."

These are Tan Yao's true feelings.

Currently, there are very few people in the entire entertainment industry who can surpass Zhang You in terms of earning money at a faster pace, and this is not even Zhang You's breakout phase; it was after the release of that album.

To describe the album's quality as "gold content" would be an understatement; it should be described as "diamond content."

Once the news is released, it is estimated that not only will Jiang Yi's debts be wiped out, but the couple's assets will definitely appear on the list of highest-paid celebrities, and at least at the top.

It's mainly because these two are smart.

Zhang You did not sign an artist contract with Tianyu Entertainment. Jiang Yiren opened a studio in advance and registered her husband under the studio's name. Apart from music platform fees and taxes, everything else was net profit.

The crucial issue is that Zhang You doesn't even have an agent right now.

These two... really know how to pocket money.

At this time.

Bai Li's phone, which was next to the tableware, rang. She picked up her phone with one hand while holding the chopsticks in the other and looked at it. Tan Yao noticed that Bai Li's expression gradually changed from confusion to surprise.

Finally, amidst her confusion, Bai Li put down her chopsticks and began to vigorously rub her hair.

It's as if they're trying to pluck themselves bald.
