My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1633

The revenue split between AiMusic platform and him is 30/70.

With this in mind, even if the number of purchases of his English songs on the international version of iMusic is slightly lower, it can make up for it to some extent. The key is that if he unilaterally breaches the contract, it will definitely affect his cooperation with the domestic iMusic platform.

Especially on overseas music platforms, aside from some unknown foreign singers, he's practically the top artist, and good promotional materials are definitely given to him first.

Therefore, Zhang You does not intend to terminate the contract.

It's just a matter of earning a little less money. Zhang You had already thought of this when Li Jin'an approached him. He could make a guarantee at that time, which meant he had already thought it through.

Zhang You had never run a business before, but he knew how difficult it was to find good partners in the business world.

Are you sure!?

Li Xiaohong asked.

"determine"

Zhang You replied with a smile.

Li Xiaohong gave Zhang You a deep look. Putting aside what he did to her Feifei, everything else about him... whether in terms of his character or business cooperation, was impeccable.

She only received a call to ask for Zhang You's opinion. Deep down, she did not recommend that Zhang You change jobs, since Zhang You only participated in "Voices Abroad" to accompany his wife Fei Fei, and did not really want to develop his career abroad.

Given this premise, it would be natural to continue cooperating with the iMusic platform, since this company has very strong backing. Zhang You rejected the invitation from the foreign music platform, which the boss of iMusic naturally noticed.

If anything happens in the future... this is all thanks to Zhang You's connections.

If a person wants to achieve great things, ability is one aspect, but the most important thing is reputation. If you have a good reputation, even if your career is in crisis, there will be people willing to lend a hand. Once you lose your reputation, no matter how big your business is, it will all be just a mirage in the end.

Therefore, Li Xiaohong estimates that in another ten or twenty years, Zhang You, in addition to his fame in the entertainment industry, may also be a big shot in the business world.

It happened around this time.

Because of the broadcast of "Voices Abroad" last night, many mainstream foreign media outlets personally praised Zhang You's work "Try".

"Zhang You, the music magician from the East, tells us with his song 'Try' that having the courage to try is a very important quality. We don't need to be afraid of failure, because after trying, we will become stronger and more confident. No matter how many difficulties and setbacks we face, as long as we maintain a positive attitude, we will definitely find the path that suits us best."

This is a commentary published by a foreign media outlet called New Era.

"When the whistle of '500 Miles' came from afar, I seemed to hear the sound of my hometown. The greatness of this song lies in its extremely restrained art. The simple melody and the poetic lyrics have become an emotional totem that transcends language and time. 'Try' conveys the message that no matter how many difficulties you encounter, you must try bravely. You must cheer up and strive to find yourself."

Commentary from another mainstream media outlet.

"If the first season of 'Voices from Abroad' was just a pure music competition, the second season... mainly due to the appearance of Grammy Classical Music winner Zhang You, made it no longer a pure music competition, but a musical symbol and a spirit."

......

A country folk song called "Five Hundred Miles".

An inspirational song called "Try".

These two songs helped foreign media overcome their initial resistance to Zhang You, and their evaluations became exceptionally objective.

On the streets of the city.

A reporter stopped a middle-aged man with a smile. Under the man's questioning gaze, the reporter asked with a smile, "Sir, have you watched 'Voices from Abroad'?"

"I've seen it"

The middle-aged man nodded. "Which singer do you like best, Taylor Swift or Katie Holmes?"

The reporter pressed for more information.

"Do not"

The middle-aged man shook his head, smiled, and said, "I like Zhang You. He reminds me of my hometown. You know, I'm over fifty years old this year and have been away from my hometown for many years, but his music has pulled me back."

"What about try!?"

"I asked the reporter."

"This is also a good song, but I prefer '500 Miles.' To be honest, when I first heard this song, I couldn't even describe how I felt... I thought of my parents, the fields back home, and the sound of trains passing by on the tracks at night that kept me awake. I used to hate that sound, but now I miss it a little."

Will you continue to follow "Voices from Abroad"?

The reporter smiled and followed up with a question.

Yes, it will.

The middle-aged man replied without hesitation, “I love this show, more than I’ve ever loved it. I find it funny when I see Derek kissing the donkey’s rear end, and… Derek said the donkey’s design was Zhang You’s idea. He really is a creative musician. I’m looking forward to the third episode of the second season of ‘Voices Abroad’—more than I’ve ever looked forward to it. It feels just like my first date with my sweetheart when I was fifteen.”

Okay, thank you.

The reporter presented the middle-aged man with a small gift that she had prepared.

Then, the reporter stopped a young man and said, "Hey bro, watched 'Voices from Abroad'?" Before the reporter could even ask a question, the young man excitedly replied, "Yes, I did! I love Taylor so much! If she wanted, I'd drink her bathwater!"

"Where's Katie!?"

The reporter asked with a smile.

"Kady is fine with me too, I love her just as much."

The young man answered without hesitation.

Such street interviews are also a form of publicity strategy, which involves filming and broadcasting the real reactions of passersby. The reporter then asked several passersby in succession.

Some people have seen it, while others haven't.

This is quite normal. No matter how popular a program is, its audience will always be viewers who are interested in this type of program; it is impossible for it to be known by everyone.

However, judging from the results, it was quite good. At least one-fifth of the passersby who were asked had watched "Voices from Abroad," and some of them expressed their liking for Zhang You and their anticipation for his performance in the third episode.

Many people naturally prefer Taylor Swift, after all, she is now a household name and a top female singer abroad, especially since her appearance fits the aesthetic standards of foreigners, and she also has a pair of long legs that make many teenagers swoon.

When it comes to "long legs," men all over the world have a highly unified aesthetic sense, with no cultural differences whatsoever.

A few more days passed.

The international writers' association strike has finally allowed "Voices Abroad" to resume recording. The recording was delayed by three days, mainly due to the time spent negotiating between the various entertainment companies and the writers' association.

However, it had no effect on Zhang You whatsoever.

Backstage at the recording studio, Katie was glued to the television, ignoring Adam's attempts to chat with her, because Zhang had appeared on stage.

But the song he drew last time was hers.
