My wife is in my arms

Chapter 950 Another Gamble

in the afternoon.

Representatives from the four major brands then came over.

After some discussion, Zhang You didn't delay any longer. After the legal department confirmed that there were no problems with the contract, Zhang You readily signed it. With these four endorsement deals signed, he would be the spokesperson for these four brands for the next five years.

With an income of over 500 million, that's not bad.

Once the deal is agreed upon, the next step is simply advertising filming. The advertiser needs to define the filming content, and then the photographer will film it when filming begins.

The main purpose of coming here today was to sign an advertising contract. Since it was already signed, Zhang You saw that it was still early, so he went to check on the training of the future boy.

After a long period of pre-debut training, the five boys are now qualified to debut.

Knowing they were just substitutes, the other two boys worked extra hard and performed exceptionally well. Zhang You noticed this but didn't say anything.

This talent show, which is filmed in the style of a variety show, is currently enjoying decent ratings, reaching a peak of 2.3 and averaging 1.4. The five boys also have their own dedicated fan base.

Based on the current situation, there shouldn't be any problem with debuting.

But Zhang Yougang just finished working on the second season of "Special Voice" and plans to take a break for a while before continuing. Moreover, in order to fulfill the contract he signed with Tianyu Entertainment, this album is of very high quality.

Zhang You is worried that starting recording now will affect the sales of Xu Lun and October Band's albums, so he can only postpone it. Anyway, Zhang You is not in a hurry, since his contract with Tianyu Entertainment is for three years.

I watched it for about half an hour.

Just as Zhang You was about to leave, he suddenly heard a voice behind him calling "Director Zhang". Zhang You stopped and turned around in confusion, only to see one of the five boys walking over with a nervous expression.

"What's wrong!?"

Zhang You asked.

"Director Zhang, I'd like to ask, since Li Xiaonian and I came in as substitutes, is our final debut predetermined or based on our overall abilities?"

The boy's hands were clenched tightly together.

This question had been bothering him for a long time. He wasn't afraid of being tired or suffering, but he was afraid of putting in effort without getting anything in return. The reason he asked this question was that he wanted to hear Director Zhang's answer.

"..."

Zhang You was stunned for a moment.

He could find an excuse to get away with it, after all, Zhang You believed that the boy must also know that society was inherently unfair.

In this unfair society, trying to find fairness is utterly futile.

But Zhang You noticed the expectation in the eyes of the substitute boy named Su Lin. Zhang You clapped his hands in the end, and after the other four boys approached, he thought for a moment and said, "Initially, three of the future boys were reserved. The reason for adding two more was simply to create a false impression of fairness for outsiders. In reality, the ones who will debut are still the original Cheng Pengfei, Wang Zihan, and Li Cheng."

The three boys named by Zhang You seemed to have known all along, and looked completely at ease.

However, the expressions on the faces of the other two boys, whether they were named Su Lin or Wang Yu, became somewhat strained.

Then they heard Director Zhang continue, "But I just watched your performances, and none of them were as good as Su Lin and Wang Yu. This means... you think you already have the victory in your grasp, so you don't need to work so hard. But I want to tell you, no matter what the company told you before, from now on, you have an equal opportunity. Who becomes a member of the future boy group will depend on the final assessment results."

talking.

Zhang You looked at the director and said, "Director Chen, now let's distribute the shots of the five people evenly."

"it is good"

Director Chen, who was in his forties, quickly nodded.

Zhang You glanced at the five people again before turning and leaving.

He knew that once he secured his future boy, as his status in the music industry rose, all three of them would be snatched up by agents within the company.

They were confident that the album he produced for them would be a hit, so they pre-ordered it. Zhang You didn't bother to inquire about the specifics. Anyway, he canceled the pre-arranged appointment and decided to base the final selection on the actual performance review.

Then it will depend on the agent's judgment.

After he left, the three boys turned pale. Director Chen noticed their reaction and sighed inwardly. He had warned them long ago that everything was uncertain before their debut, but none of them listened. They were fine at first, but their performance later was indeed not as good as Su Lin and Wang Yu.

it's good now.

After Director Zhang said this, even their agent didn't dare to say anything. The news that Zhang You had appeared at the Future Boys recording site quickly reached Lin Bao'er's ears, but she did not express any opinion on the matter.

The Future Boys project was originally proposed by Zhang You, and he also needs to produce their debut album. As for who to choose, Lin Baoer will not interfere.

Since they're all artists under the company, it doesn't matter to her who becomes famous.

Instead, sitting in her office chair, she became concerned about something else.

"Song Lan, how much do you think 'Goodbye Mr. Loser' will ultimately gross at the box office?"

Lin Bao'er, wearing a white women's shirt and cropped casual pants, asked the question.

"Chairman Lin, please don't make things difficult for me."

Song Lan said with a bitter face, "Even the company can't give a specific number for this kind of thing. We can only make a prediction after the movie is released and we see the ratings."

"You should make your prediction based on Zhang Xiaoyou as a person."

Lin Bao'er knew that her question was indeed a bit excessive, so she asked Song Lan to change her approach.

"I……"

Song Lan wanted to say she didn't know, but seeing Chairman Lin's gaze suddenly sharpen, she changed her tune without hesitation, saying, "I think it could be a billion."

"Can young friend Zhang really give you that much confidence!"

Chairman Lin was immediately puzzled.

"..."

Song Lan was almost depressed.

She didn't want to talk about it, but Chairman Lin forced her to. Even after she did, she didn't believe him. But since she had already spoken, Song Lan offered her analysis, saying, "The main thing is that Director Zhang is so talented in music. His singles and albums have sold so much money. In this situation, if he wasn't confident in the box office performance of his script, there would be no need for him to write it and still take up the majority of the investment. Since he wrote it and invested in it, he must think that the film's revenue will exceed that of the album release; otherwise, he wouldn't have wasted his time."

Lin Bao'er's expression turned strange.

She discovered that, apart from Song Lan having great confidence in Zhang You's script, several other department heads also had great confidence in him, but she herself lacked confidence in her own script.

It's not that it's lacking.

If she didn't believe it, she wouldn't have invested.

The main reason is that everyone seems very optimistic about the box office. If the box office really exceeds one billion yuan as Song Lan suggested, then she will have to be "slapped" five times by Zhang Xiaoyou first.

After so many times, I'm afraid that before this guy becomes a world superstar, she'll already be heavily pregnant.

Thinking about it, Lin Bao'er suddenly felt a little flustered.

Because "Goodbye Mr. Loser" is scheduled to be released in early August, and it's currently mid-to-late June, there are less than two months left.

Lin Bao'er suddenly realized that she might have dug a pit for herself and buried herself in it.

If that were the case, things would get really funny.
