My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1634 Normal Recording Part 1
on the stage.

"Teenage Dream, huh!?"

Upon seeing the song title appear on the big screen, Katie murmured something in a voice only she could hear.

Taylor stared at the television.

Because the recording of "Voices Abroad" was postponed, she accepted an endorsement deal with a top luxury brand under the arrangement of her agent. On her way to the advertising shooting location, she listened to Zhang's songs more often.

After listening to his English songs, Taylor listened to his Chinese songs. Even though she couldn't understand the Chinese lyrics at all, she still thought Zhang sang them very well. Among them, "Love Letter" was her favorite.

The emotion expressed was one of being moved, but also seemed to carry a hint of regret.

In short... she now truly feels that Zhang has a lot of personal charm, a charm that her boyfriend Kyle doesn't possess.

"You think im pretty, without any make up on, you think im funny, when I thll the punchline wrong..."

The contestants in the lounge listened attentively.

The same goes for Cadillac.

Although it may sound mediocre at first, Zhang proved his talent in the second episode. His cover of Taylor's song "Walk" was also quite average at first, but when the song entered the verses, his singing, lyrics, and accompaniment elevated the song's quality by more than one level.

Just then, Zhang's singing began the verses.

then.

The entire soundtrack became more rousing.

"you make me feel like im livina, teenage dream the way you turn me on, I cantsleep letsrun a way and don't ever look bakc..."

Upon hearing this, Katie felt an urge to get hyped up and dance along.

Taylor's eyes lit up as well.

Zhang's adaptation of Katie's song is so rhythmic that even she wanted to stand up and dance. This song is especially suitable for a concert, and Taylor can imagine the reaction of the audience when she is wearing a miniskirt, singing and dancing on stage.

It's bound to be very intense.

Upon realizing this, Taylor instantly had an idea.

Mars, dressed in stage costume, sat on the sofa. Ever since he demonstrated his talent after recording the first episode, he has maintained a strong creative output.

Mars, who had never felt helpless before, was now truly helpless, even somewhat desperate. He didn't know what the point of competing against such a person was.

Regarding the adaptation.

Zhang You is impeccable.

After recording the previous episode, Katie's "Dream" was listened to by him. He even had his music team discuss how to adapt the song well. They tried several times, but the results were not good. Unexpectedly, when it came to Zhang's hands, just like Taylor's two songs, it immediately radiated a different kind of vitality.

Another point is original content creation... It's just that "Voices Abroad" doesn't offer any points for original content. If it did, Zhang Ying would have even less pressure.

After Zhang You finished singing, the music judges in the audience began to score the performance. Seeing that it was 83 points, Mars knew that this episode... would probably be a foregone conclusion again.

The only good thing for him now is that Taylor and Katie are there to support him; otherwise, he would be under even more pressure. He originally thought that bringing in top musicians to help would turn the situation around, but he didn't expect... they are still no match for Zhang.

This is practically a one-man show where he not only dominated all the contestants, but also unilaterally beat up their music teams.

Recording is still ongoing. Perhaps it's because the rhythm of the song "Teenage Dream" is really good, and because Zhang You won first place in both episodes, the music judges have completely recognized his strength. So, in the morning's recording, his 83 points were the highest.

At lunchtime.

To Zhang You's surprise, the production team actually prepared Chinese food for him and even a can of tea. Zhang You didn't say anything; he earned it through his own hard work.

Zhang You didn't ask about the exact ratings of "Voices Abroad," but he overheard two staff members discussing it when he arrived that morning. The first episode had a rating of 3.1, with over eight million viewers, and the second episode had already reached 3.8, with viewership rising to over 11 million.

It surpassed the best ratings and average viewership of the first season after only two episodes aired, which is probably why CB continued to invest heavily in advertising after the show's premiere.

Unlike domestic music variety shows, such as "The Voice of China," this program primarily relies on advertising sponsorships for revenue. In contrast, overseas programs generate revenue through television subscriptions, streaming media revenue sharing, and on-demand services.

Simply put, these viewers will bring direct revenue to CB TV, even if this part of the revenue is not large, it is still two or three million US dollars.

It seems that after investigation and analysis, CB TV knew how many points he had helped boost the ratings of "Voices Abroad," so they began to treat him more carefully. Knowing that he was not used to Western food, they specially arranged for someone to cook Chinese food for him.

"CB TV is treating you like a top star."

Li Xiaohong spoke first.

"I'm a big shot to begin with."

Zhang You replied with a smile.

"You... alright!"

Li Xiaohong didn't argue with Zhang You, because what Zhang You said wasn't exactly self-aggrandizement. He had won first place for two consecutive episodes, and then won first place in the morning's adaptation segment. If nothing unexpected happened, Zhang You would win his third consecutive championship, beating out singers like Taylor and Katie.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xiaohong said, "When you finished singing 'Teenage Dream,' Boche immediately contacted me, meaning he wanted to continue buying the song from you."

"They probably won't sell well!"

Zhang You frowned and said.

"That's what I and Boche said."

Li Xiaohong replied, "Selling it to Katie is fine, but selling it to Taylor could easily cause copyright disputes. However, Boche said that as long as you agree, you don't need to worry about the rest. She will have her management company negotiate with the company that owns the copyright to Katie's song 'Dream'."

"Let's see how much Cadillac is quoting first."

Zhang You said, "If the price is over 22 million, we'll sell it to her in one go; if it's below that price, we'll sell it to Taylor."

"it is good"

Li Xiaohong immediately responded.

After a while, Li Xiaohong asked somewhat embarrassedly, "If this song is sold, will I still be able to smoke it?!" After asking this question, Li Xiaohong didn't dare to look at Zhang You.

She was worried that this guy would give her a disdainful look.

She didn't want to take the money, but if she didn't, her own Feifei wouldn't listen to her. Now even Li Xiaohong felt it was a bit too much to handle, mainly because it was just too much.

She took nearly 50 million from just two of Taylor Swift's songs that Zhang You adapted. She was even a little apprehensive about taking more, but if she didn't, she couldn't bear to give up this lucrative opportunity.
