My wife is in my arms

Chapter 932 Investiture of the Gods IV

"I'd better not say anything!"

Zhang You raised the microphone and said with a smile, "When I tell the truth, everyone says I'm arrogant."

"Nobody says that."

Liu Ling quickly advised, "You should still say something. Everyone's talking about it, and if you, as the King of Singers, don't say anything, it'll be embarrassing for everyone."

"I just wanted to make them feel embarrassed."

Following Liu Ling's words, Zhang You smiled and said, "Otherwise, they'll always think I'm joking with them. Okay, then I'll just say a few words. As the only veteran who's been with us from the first season to the second, I think I'm qualified to say a few words. After all, besides the production crew, I'm considered a senior member now."

Laughter could be heard.

Just when everyone thought Zhang You was going to say a lot, Zhang You simply said, "Thank you for the encounter."

Online comments are still appearing rapidly.

"Zhang You, we should be thanking you. You've brought us so many great songs, especially your 'Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies,' which revitalized me."

"Not participating in the third season!?"

One netizen asked.

Soon, replies appeared below: "It's said he won't participate, but who knows what the situation is before recording!? I believe Zhang You would still be willing to participate if the appearance fee is sufficient."

"fart"

Some people disagreed, saying, "Qin Tai, Xue Linchao, and Zhang Xiyu have all publicly stated more than once that participating in this program is very stressful, and it really is. The workload of adapting and covering a song and then completing a themed song is something other music variety shows don't offer. Therefore, Zhang You definitely won't participate. He used to be short of money, but he's not now."

"The song 'Autumn's Deepening' has become legendary."

"I feel it's just so-so. Why are all the comments saying this song is good? I think it's not as good as Zhang You's cover of 'Goodbye Kiss'."

One netizen commented below, saying, "The song 'Autumn's Deepening' has great artistic value and emotional expression, especially its difficulty in singing... Let me put it this way! There are so many online singers who like to cover other people's songs! But if you let them sing Zhang You's song, you'll know..."

"If Zhang You, Liu Fei, and others don't participate, I won't watch the third season of 'Special Voice.' Those who've tasted fine chaff can't stomach coarse grains."

"It's not that exaggerated. It wouldn't work if someone were missing. The reason why the second season of 'Special Voice' was so popular is because of its creativity, not the singers' performances."

"I disagree with the comment above. No matter how good the idea is, if the content is bad, no one will buy it. If you have time, you can go and look at the quality of Zhang You's cover songs and the songs he tailored for the theme songs in this program before you speak. You can say that the second season of 'Special Voice' had a good idea, but it was just a skilled cook. Without good rice like Zhang You, the second season of 'Special Voice' wouldn't have been so popular. If you don't believe me, let's make a bet: the third season's ratings will be lower than the second season's. Whoever loses will stand on their head..."

"I'm still a little reluctant to part with it."

......

The second season of "Special Voice" has come to an end.

The production team prepared a beautifully packaged gift box for each participating singer, containing a small gold tag engraved with the words "Special Voice".

It's not too heavy, weighing about fifty grams. Zhang You estimates it's made of pure gold, making it a fairly valuable souvenir.

Goodbye, everyone.

Arrived at the garage.

Qin Tai bowed to everyone as a farewell.

This goodbye is different from previous goodbyes. This goodbye means that after the competition ends, we will have fewer opportunities to meet again, and we may never see each other again in this lifetime.

After Qin Tai left, everyone said goodbye and left. When they came, Han Hui drove Jiang Yiren here. When they left, Jiang Yiren asked Han Hui to drive her home by herself, while she got into her husband's car.

"Why doesn't the production team talk to you at least once?!" Jiang Yiren asked after fastening her seatbelt and opening the passenger seat.

"We've already talked twice, but we haven't reached an agreement. Don't the TV station have any pride?"

Zhang You laughed and said, "Besides, even if the TV station agreed to my appearance fee of 230 million, I wouldn't participate anymore. I've worked for so long, I need to take a good rest."

"You've only been out for a short time. I was taking care of your daughter and working for so many years, and I never complained about being tired."

Jiang Yiren couldn't help but roll her eyes.

She knew that the reason her husband charged such a high appearance fee was that he never intended to participate in the third season. He hadn't been telling the truth for a while, insisting that "he was only worth this price." Now, as soon as the second season's filming ended, he finally told the truth.

Zhang You didn't reply.

Although he said he could take a good rest, in reality, once an artist's work begins, it's not something that can be stopped just like that.

For example, with the movie "Ta-Ya" which was released on July 1st, he, as the male lead, would definitely have to go around promoting it.

Then there's the future boy. He used to be able to use the excuse that the second season of "Special Voices" was too difficult and he didn't have time to watch it, but now that it's over, he can't use that excuse anymore.

Secondly, there were Xu Lun's album and October's album. The release dates were originally set, but Xu Lun's "Love Future" sold so well that Zhang You was worried about affecting sales, so the release was postponed. Because of this, Li Xin even apologized to the beverage brand that signed Xu Lun as an endorser.

It's not a big deal, and others can understand. But while they may understand, we still need to show our own stance.

Just like borrowing money from someone, even if you can't pay it back immediately, you should at least tell them and apologize. If you don't say a word, then you're a deadbeat.

Small businesses can rely on cheating and trickery.

Big business relies on reputation.

While Jiang Yiren was still puzzled, Zhang You dialed Lin Bao'er's number directly. The call connected quickly, and Lin Bao'er's exaggerated voice came through, saying, "Young friend Zhang, this is incredible! One song and the world is set!"

"good"

Zhang You gave a casual reply before getting down to business, saying, "Didn't you say that quite a few brands have contacted the company, inviting me to be their spokesperson? Help me negotiate with a few, and I'll give you 10% of the profits."

Jiang Yiren's eyes lit up.

"Two percent"

Lin Baoer spoke.

"I'll go to the company tomorrow to get the list of brand partners, and we'll negotiate ourselves."

Zhang You replied.

"One achievement at a time"

Lin Bao'er nodded helplessly.

After her husband finished his conversation with Chairman Lin, Jiang Yiren smiled and said, "Why did you take on this endorsement deal so willingly?!"

"Once you gain fame, you'll naturally want to monetize it."

Zhang You replied.

He's not stupid. If he doesn't cash out now while he's at his peak, he can still do so after he rests at home and his fame and popularity decline, but the price will definitely not be as high as it is now.

After all, an artist's market value changes with their fame and influence. He had been waiting until now, except that the endorsement fee offered by the Meida brand was too high.
