Goof Group .

Several big names of the music industry were discussing the music video for “To Youth . “

Fan Wenli: “This music video will definitely succeed and do very well . “

Chen Guang: “Zhang’er’s undoubtedly good at what he does . “

But Amy said: “This time, Shanshan helped him a lot . Without Shanshan’s tearful dance, this music video wouldn’t have gotten as much attention as it did . Just look at the reactions on the Internet . The comments blew up and everyone is saying how captivated they were by Dong Shanshan’s dance . I watched it five times and felt shocked every single time!”

Fan Wenli said: “In the past, everyone always referred to Dong Shanshan as just a vase . They always said that she could only depend on her figure and looks to make it in the industry, but this music video has shut many of them up . Dong Shanshan will definitely be a big name in the future as well . “

Xiaodong said with a laugh: “Luckily I got Xiaoxian to delay the release of her single . “

Li Xiaoxian was a little annoyed at that . “I was hoping that I could compete against Teacher Zhang . “

Amy sent a sulking emote . “Oh, come on, how could you compete against him? It’s Zhang Ye’s song . Anyone who goes head to head against it would just die . There’s no one who could go against him and win, unless it’s Sister Zhang . “

Suddenly, Zhang Ye appeared .

Zhang Ye: “@everyone”

“Wow, the star himself is finally here . “

“What?”

“What’s with the @everyone?”

“You’re getting arrogant, aren’t ya!”

“Zhang’er, the music video was really good . Congratulations!”

After Zhang Ye thanked them, he said: “Does anyone here know a good orthopedic institution overseas?”

“What’s the matter?”

“An overseas hospital?”

“A hot-blooded youth like you asking about this, did the sun rise from the west today?”

Zhang Ye said: “I’m asking for a friend . She got in an accident two years ago and can’t stand anymore . “

When they read this, no one made any more jokes .

“No, I don’t know any . “

“I do know a medical practitioner overseas, but they don’t specialize in orthopedics . “

“Does anyone know someone? Help link Zhang Ye up if you do . “

At this moment, Zhang Yuanqi appeared .

Zhang Yuanqi: “Send me some information about your friend’s general condition . “

Zhang Ye was taken aback, then immediately said: “Alright, thanks . “

Soon after, she said: “I’ve spoken to my assistant . Get your friend to contact her and she’ll help arrange everything for you . This is her number, 136XXXXXXXX . “

Zhang Ye: “Much thanks!”

Zhang Yuanqi: “It’s nothing . “

…

In the studio .

A group of people were looking very happy .

“Director Zhang, it was a great success!”

“It’s on fire! Our first attempt at a music video and it’s already sweeping the charts!”

“Just look at it, these are a few of the biggest billboard charts in the country!”

“Haha, is there anyone else? I want to know if there’s anyone who wants to challenge us!”

“This is only our first music video single and its performance is already defying all common sense!”

“How can it not? I was crying after Teacher Shanshan finished dancing in the video! Just look at Weibo . That dance has gone viral! So many people are saying they want to learn it as well!”

Zhang Ye chuckled . “Who are they going to learn it from? That dance will look different every time Shanshan performs it . She’s expressing her emotions through dance . “

Zhang Zuo said, “That’s why it’s so touching!”

Zhang Ye asked, “How much has it earned?”

Zhang Zuo said, “Based on the current calculations, around 1 . 2 million RMB . Actually, it’s not much money at all . The music video was released for free and the only way it could earn money was through copyright fees and hosting fees from the platforms . There’s also a few cents earned each time the song is sung in karaoke, but that amount of money will only be recouped much later on . ” He thought that Zhang Ye was only concerned with making money from the music video, so he said, “If you’re thinking about raising the profitability of the studio, this won’t earn you more than you could earn by appearing in a commercial . A music video is just for getting your name out there . “

“I know that . ” Zhang Ye naturally knew that this was so .

The business model of the entertainment industry had changed long ago .

Releasing an album to earn money?

Holding a concert to sell tickets?

Such ways of earning money were things of the past .

The model now was to release things for free . You’d still have to cut an album and hold concerts, but those were not done because it would earn you money . They were only a tool to get more popular and gain a reputation . When your fame went up, you’d automatically be worth much more . Afterwards, you could take on projects like commercial appearances, advertisements, movies, TV dramas, variety shows . They would all bring much greater profits since your name was already out there .

Zhang Ye thought about it for a bit, then said, “About that, if anyone asks, just tell them that the music video earned 2 million RMB . “

Ha Qiqi was taken aback . “Ah? But we didn’t earn that much from it . “

“I know, but do it anyway,” Zhang Ye instructed .

“OK . “

“Understood . “

Everyone knew Zhang Ye must have a reason for doing so .

Then Zhang Ye went to check his bank account . Together with the money earned from the music video, he wouldn’t have a problem raising 2 million RMB . Since he didn’t do commercial appearances, he didn’t really have that much money either . But gathering a few million yuan was definitely not an issue . And so, he got his assistant, Little Wang to register a debit card and checking account in which he deposited 2 million RMB .

Then he called Dong Shanshan .

“Shanshan . “

“Yes . “

“The money is in . “

“OK . “

…

That same night .

At Qiu Yumei’s house .

The doorbell rang .

“Ai, coming, coming . ” Little Qiu’s husband went to get the door . When he saw who was outside, he immediately welcomed the person in after a moment of shock . “Tie-zi, you’re here?”

“Is Sister Qiu home?”

“Yes, she’s in . “

Liu Tie was alone .

From the living room, Qiu Yumei’s voice drifted out . “Tie-zi, come in quickly . “

Liu Tie entered the room with a smile . “Sister Qiu, how are you feeling? I haven’t visited you in quite a while . “

Qiu Yumei said excitedly, “You guys appeared in Zhang’er’s music video! I saw everyone! It’s good, it’s really good! Everyone’s still the same! Shanshan is still as beautiful as ever, Yingyi has now become a sports host, everything is going really well for everyone!”

Liu Tie said, “Everyone misses you . They all wanted to come and visit you . “

Little Qiu fell silent, then said bitterly, “I’m like this, so how can I face the others? Did you tell them about me? That mouth of yours! I won’t tell you anything anymore . “

Liu Tie said, “Even if I didn’t tell them, they would have found out sooner or later . “

Little Qiu repeatedly said, “You mustn’t bring them here . I won’t see any of them . “

Liu Tie said, “I know, I didn’t ask them to come . “

Little Qiu heaved a sigh of relief . She really didn’t want to face everyone .

“By the way, this is the money we earned from the music video . ” Liu Tie smiled and took out a debit card and placed it on the table . “There’s 2 million RMB in it . “

Her husband was stunned . “2 million RMB?!”

Qiu Yumei immediately said, “What’s the meaning of this?”

Liu Tie said solemnly, “It was not my idea alone . Every one of us wanted to do this for you . Although we’re saying that this money was earned through the music video, it was Zhang’er who made the biggest contribution . We were just doing our best to support him, not for anything else, but just for you to be able to stand on your two feet again . ” Then he took out a piece of paper . “Keep his telephone number safe and contact her today . Zhang’er found someone and has already contacted the best hospital in America . He already made some inquiries and found out from them that your kind of injuries are pretty difficult to recover from . But there’s still a way to treat it as they have done something similar before . The only issue was that the previous case had dragged on for too long, so it affected the treatment . “

He looked at Qiu Yumei’s husband and said, “So go over there and have a look . If there’s anything that you two need later, contact us again . “

Her husband said emotionally, “This…how can we accept this?”

Liu Tie pushed the number into his hand . “If you need manpower, come to me . All I have is strength with no place to use it . If you need money, go to Zhang Ye . He’s so poor that all he has left is money . So don’t drag this on . We’re all doing this so that Little Qiu can get treated . If there’s anything you want to protest, do it after you’ve recovered . “

Qiu Yumei bit her bottom lip and said, “I can still stand?”

“Definitely!” Liu Tie said without hesitation .

All of a sudden, Qiu Yumei looked at the window . “Did they come?”

Liu Tie smiled and said, “No, it’s only me . Zhang’er said he doesn’t want to see you now . He wants to see that bubbly and active you from back then, not the whiny you who keeps staying in bed—those were his exact words, not mine . So take it up with him if you’re offended, hahaha . “

Qiu Yumei also laughed . “Is he still as hot-tempered as before?”

“Yes . ” Liu Tie said amused . “He’s still as short-tempered as ever . “

Qiu Yumei went silent for a moment . Then she sat up from her bed and smiled . “Go back and tell Zhang’er this . If I were to suddenly stand up in front of him someday, he better not have the living daylights scared out of him!”

Her husband said in a stunned manner, “Little Qiu . “

Qiu Yumei said determinedly, “Make the call . I’m going to get my legs treated . “

Her husband wept with joy . “I’ll call, I’ll make the call immediately!”

“Thanks to my old classmates, we can go and have a taste of American food!” Qiu Yumei’s eyes shined with a glimmer of hope and she looked much more spirited!

Liu Tie felt very happy!

The exultant Sister Qiu from those years ago looked like she was back again!
