Chen Yu then sang "Me and You" using the original version's vocals.

After hearing this, Director Zhang was completely speechless and deeply regretted not contacting Chen Yu sooner, otherwise he wouldn't have had so many troubles.

These two songs are perfectly suited to be the theme song and the opening ceremony theme song, respectively.

"These two songs are absolutely fantastic! Chen Yu, I really regret not coming to find you sooner, otherwise I wouldn't have had so many worries. I'm definitely taking both of these songs. 'Beijing Welcomes You' will be the theme song for the 2008 Olympics, and 'You and Me' will be the theme song for the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympics," Director Zhang said with a smile.

"I never said I was going to give it to you!" Chen Yu said with a light smile, for some reason wanting to tease the famous director.

Director Zhang's face immediately changed, looking extremely ugly, as if he had eaten shit.

Seeing this reaction, Chen Yu smiled wickedly.

"Alright, I'm just teasing you. These two songs have been given to the Olympic Committee, but the copyright still belongs to me. You only have the right to use them," Chen Yu said with a smile, worried that things might go too far.

"Your Highness, you know that the theme song must be controlled by the Olympic Committee. You're putting the Olympic Committee in a difficult position!" Director Zhang felt uneasy upon hearing this. How could the copyright of the Olympic theme song not be in the hands of the Olympic Committee? This is absolutely not allowed, at least not to those officials.

"There's nothing difficult about it. These are my conditions. I grant you the right to use the song, but the copyright remains with me. You cannot use this song to profit from it; it can only serve the Olympics, nothing more. This is my support for the Olympics, not for the IOC. If you disagree, then what I just said will come true!" Chen Yu said with a light smile.

Director Zhang stared intently at Chen Yu, but found Chen Yu to be completely calm. Remembering the legendary descriptions of Chen Yu, he understood that this genius possessed a possessive and controlling nature, a desire to keep things firmly in his own hands.

“Okay, I agree, but make it clear in the contract that we have no right to revoke the Olympic Committee’s right to use this song!” Director Zhang nodded and said.

"Sure, but the premise is that it can't be used for other profits. After all, I didn't receive a single penny from this song, so you can't benefit from it either. Think what you want. I'm just that extreme and eccentric. There's a saying that goes, 'If I can't have it, no one else can either.'" Chen Yu nodded, responding calmly to Director Zhang's words.

Director Zhang sighed, not knowing what to say. He could only sigh softly, thinking about how he would explain things to the people at the Olympic Committee when he got back.

Although he was the chief director, he still had a lot of headaches dealing with the officials of the Olympic Committee.

After seeing Director Zhang off, Chen Yu returned to the film crew.

Chen Chichi couldn't help but ask, "Chen Yu, what does Director Zhang want with you?! Is it to cast you in a blockbuster film?!"

His words reflected the thoughts of others. Otherwise, they wouldn't all be paying so much attention to him.

"He's not making any blockbusters, do you think Director Zhang has time to make blockbusters right now?! He's too busy with the 2008 Olympics to even think about it. He's here to ask me for a song!" Chen Yu said with a light smile.

"Inviting a song?! What does a director need to invite a song for?!" Everyone was immediately puzzled.

"Of course it's the Olympic song! The theme song for the 2008 Olympics hasn't been released yet, and he wasn't satisfied, so he came to me. I said, 'You guys don't even pay attention to the news! What are you all doing, glued to your phones all day?!'" Chen Yu said irritably.

"I've been watching the news, but there hasn't been much attention on this matter, hehe~ But it's only now that they've come to ask for a song, isn't that a bit too long-winded?!"

"Exactly! The opening ceremony is just around the corner, I really don't know what Director Zhang was thinking when he asked for a song at this time!"

····

Seeing everyone talking at once, Chen Yu smiled gently and said, "It's precisely because you don't understand that you're just small-time actors, while he's a nationally renowned director."

After saying that, Chen Yu walked away to prepare to start work.

Everyone remained silent, pondering Chen Yu's words.

Some people's eyes lit up, while others' brows furrowed slightly.

The filming of "iPartment" did not experience any disruptions due to Director Zhang's arrival. Everything proceeded as usual, and everyone was busy with filming in a tense but orderly manner.

At this moment, at the IOC Conference Center.

"Director Zhang, how could you possibly agree to this request?!" said a somewhat balding man sitting on the right.

"Why can't I agree to this request? If you're so capable, why don't you persuade him to sell the copyright of this song to us?" Director Zhang retorted bluntly.

Suddenly, the man fell silent. He went to ask Chen Yu to sell the song's copyright? What a load of rubbish!

Putting aside whether Chen Yu is short of money or not, his status and position are beyond what a mere director of the Olympic Committee office could handle.

He was certain that with just one word from Chen Yu, his good days would be over.

Putting aside other things, the CEO of Mirae Bank, a world-class international bank, said that Mirae Bank emerged out of nowhere and developed at an incredibly rapid pace, establishing branches in 64 countries worldwide, just like the Big Four banks.

It's fair to say that Future Bank's influence and global standing are already comparable to those of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) and China Merchants Bank. This alone is enough to deter even the head of the central bank from making any major moves against Future Bank, and they must treat it with considerable deference.

He's just a nobody, a mere director of the Olympic Committee's office.

"Here I can tell you very clearly that Chen Yu owns all the copyrights to his songs so far, including the ones given to Ouyang Xue, as well as the song 'Green Flowers in the Army'."

Most importantly, Chen Yu is not short of money, nor is he lacking in fame or status.

Putting everything else aside, Chen Yu's fame from the 512 Wenchuan earthquake alone is enough to ensure his lasting legacy. It's fair to say that Chen Yu saved countless lives during the entire 512 earthquake, so any attempts to threaten him with a blacklist or tarnish his reputation are simply dismissed.

Most importantly, I was the chief director of this Olympics, so I had the final say on the theme song. The theme song for the 2008 Olympics was "Beijing Welcomes You," and the theme song for the opening ceremony was "You and Me."

The song "Beijing Welcomes You" requires 100 celebrities to perform. Crazy Entertainment has selected about 30, and the remaining 70 need to be found from mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. The song must be recorded and released within 5 days. Director Zhang said with an air of authority, having finally understood that sometimes a firm stance is necessary to make things go more smoothly.
