My wife is in my arms

Chapter 820 The Second Zhang

After Zhang You left.

I was surprised to receive a call from Xu Zhonghua, the chairman of Cainiao Music.

"Our company didn't handle the marketing accounts."

Upon learning the news early that morning, Xu Zhonghua immediately said, "You're a smart man; you should know that such clumsy tactics couldn't possibly have come from our company."

"Know"

Zhang You nodded.

"Would you like our company to help you investigate who's behind this?"

Xu Zhonghua said with a smile.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to curry favor with Zhang You, mainly because Zhang You's background was just too powerful.

Secondly... After thinking about it carefully, he realized that whether it was "The Truman Show" or "Goodbye Mr. Loser," the scripts were so good that even a steady person like Chairman Lin was willing to invest in them, so the quality of the scripts must be excellent.

Secondly... he heard that Tianyu Entertainment had finalized a music variety show in the past two days, and that Zhang You was the one who came up with the program plan. With these things in mind, he knew that this person was extraordinary.

Rather than letting a small matter strain the relationship, it's better to find an opportunity to ease tensions. After all, it's not a big deal. Even if only two of the three projects in cooperation with Tianyu Entertainment succeed, Zhang You will successfully transform into a capital player.

Back then... to put it bluntly, this one person alone could have taken an entertainment company to new heights.

Not only can they do a lot of things, but they are also proficient in everything.

He had never even heard of a person like this before, let alone seen one.

Human energy is always limited. It's already quite remarkable to be able to do one thing well. But Zhang Youhui not only has a lot of knowledge, but he's also quite good at everything.

"Need not"

Zhang You refused directly.

It's nothing more than false content created by marketing accounts to gain attention. A clarification would be enough. At worst, Zhang You can have Tianyu Entertainment's legal department handle it. There's no need for Xu Zhonghua's help.

Asking someone for help isn't a favor you can do for nothing.

"Zhang You, we've become friends through a misunderstanding. To be honest, I admire you. So… what happened last time really upset you, right? You said you'd make a friend for 50 million. I've been thinking about it these past few days. Friendships built with money are definitely more genuine than those built on feelings. So, I won't lie to you. With 'Special Voice' Season 2 being so popular, many entertainment companies are producing music variety shows, including Rookie Music. Once production is almost complete, you can participate. 'Special Voice' Season 2 will give you 70 million, and I'll add another 50 million to make you a true friend, making it 120 million. I won't waste any more time; I'll give you 150 million directly."

They can afford to spend so much money.

Xu Zhonghua made this decision after careful consideration.

Meanwhile, the company has also been analyzing the reasons for the explosive popularity of the second season of "Special Voice".

Ultimately, Zhang You's participation elevated the quality and content of the show by more than one level, which led to the success of the second season of "Special Voice".

First, Zhang You's singing skills and ability to adapt songs are ridiculously strong. Then, this guy chooses to sing a new song on the show every episode in order to complete the "assigned song".

This raised expectations to a whole new level. As for other singers like Liu Fei, Qin Tai, and Zheng Tiannan, without Zhang You, the second season of "Special Voice" would at most be a show with decent ratings, and its influence and reach would not have reached the level it has now.

Based on these conclusions, Xu Zhonghua made this decision because he felt that Zhang You was worth the price in the music variety show field.

Moreover, he heard that advertisers who didn't initially participate in the competition for the second season of "Special Voice" are now kicking themselves. A single ad slot that originally cost 50 million has now skyrocketed to 180 million, and judging from the viewership growth chart for the second season of "Special Voice," advertising costs may increase further.

After all, only a few episodes have been recorded so far. Once more episodes are recorded, the viewership ratings will definitely surge, because there will be a singing competition next.

"Not interested in"

Zhang You directly refused.

"Zhang You, is it really just because of such a small matter?! I told you, you're a smart man. No matter how angry you are, there's no need to let money get you into this mess. You're still young, and you have a long road ahead of you. How about this?! Tonight, I'll host a dinner party to personally apologize to you, and we'll let this matter drop in person..."

If it were anyone else, Xu Zhonghua certainly wouldn't have been so humble.

But Zhang You is definitely different.

Putting aside his terrifying network of connections, his own abilities alone are enough to make him look at him with respect.

Faced with the choice between money and face, Xu Zhonghua chose money without hesitation. As for face... only young people care about face; people his age only talk about interests.

Before Xu Zhonghua could finish speaking, Zhang You interrupted, "That's not the reason. It's mainly because I've taken on too many variety shows. Once the audience forms a fixed impression, it's difficult to change it later. I think you understand that. Besides, I'm not only rejecting you, but I also won't participate in 'The Voice of China,' which is about to be launched by Tianyu Entertainment."

"That's it!"

Upon hearing Zhang You's words, Xu Zhonghua immediately understood. He nodded and said, "Then I won't force you. You young people all have your own ideas. Anyway, if you ever need my help in the future, just give me a call. I've always admired talented young people. If you weren't married, to be honest, I'd even want you to be my son-in-law."

"Hanged up"

Zhang You replied once and then hung up.

If Zhang You remembered correctly, Xu Zhonghua's daughter weighed at least 300 pounds and was quite short. It was only because he encountered Jiang Yiren that he was there. If it were Xu Zhonghua's daughter, Zhang You would have strangled himself instead of Xu Zhonghua's daughter.

Zhang You is not afraid of hardship, but he cannot endure this kind of hardship.

Upon arriving at the company, Zhang You first recorded the songs he wanted to record. Zhang Xiyu's "Heartbreak" had some similarities in lyrics to his song "Heartbreak Without a Trace," so Zhang You directly chose that song.

Regarding the assigned song, Zhang You chose "Waiting for You Until My Heart Aches," since this time "Special Voice" wasn't too difficult for him.

It took Zhang You about an hour and a half to finish recording the two songs. Then Zhang You went to another recording studio where Jin Zhen was still recording her song "I've Crossed the Ocean to See You".

After a period of adjustment, she was able to get out of that particular emotion. Standing outside the soundproof glass, Zhang You listened for a while and knew that Jin Zhen was the most suitable person to sing this song.

Her voice wasn't the most pleasant, but the emotions she poured into it were exceptionally infectious.

Only when emotions are fully integrated into a song can it be given a soul. Even though Jinzhen's breathing sounds were too obvious, Zhang You did not intend to let her change them.

"very good"

When Jin Zhen came out, Zhang You said with a smile.

Just as Zhang You finished speaking, Lin Bao'er walked in from outside. Upon seeing Zhang You, Lin Bao'er hurriedly asked, "Did you really go abroad to gamble?! I'm not saying this to be mean, but your wife is pregnant with twins, and you still had the mood to gamble, and you lost so much! Do you have any conscience at all?!"

"Weren't you avoiding me?!"

Zhang You didn't answer, but instead asked a question with a smile.
