Zhang Yingying has not had a very good life these past few years.
She loved music, but she lacked opportunities to advance her career, and unlike in novels, no one with the discerning eye to discover her talent came to her aid.
So, in order to make a living, she usually works as a resident bartender.
Although I earn a lot, I feel a bit tired.
That night, Zhang Yingying sat on the stage and sang two songs. She seemed to be putting in a lot of effort, but in reality, they were just child's play for her.
Then, just as she was about to hand the ball over to another singer, the bar owner, Brother San, suddenly strode towards her.
"Xiaoying, come here, let me introduce you to a very important person. This person came here today specifically for you!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yingying's expression changed, and she said coldly:
"Third Brother, I told you before that I came here to sing, and I don't want to get to know those shady people."
If you insist, then I can only say goodbye!
Third Brother paused for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Xiaoying, what are you talking about? What do you think I meant by introducing you to these 'benefactors'? Those shady men?"
No, you're wrong. This time it's a real benefactor! You know Director Xu, right? The one who directed 'Summer's Depression'!
"Of course I know him, but what does it have to do with this director?"
I heard they're filming something like "The Return of the Condor Heroes," they can't possibly come looking for me, can they?
Zhang Yingying's expression relaxed slightly, but she still asked with doubt.
Third Brother slapped his thigh and exclaimed:
"You were absolutely right, Director Xu came to see you personally."
Xiaoying, it looks like you're about to make it big! Once you catch Mr. Xu's eye, your future is limitless!
What are you waiting for? You have to seize this opportunity!
Only then did Zhang Yingying, still somewhat doubtful, follow her third brother to a private room.
She soon spotted the two men in the private room; both were young and had a strong presence.
But Zhang Yingying spotted the famous director Xu at a glance.
Only then did she finally realize that everything her third brother had said was true.
Meanwhile, the third brother, who had always been so arrogant in front of others, was now bowing and scraping.
"Director Xu, Xiaoying has already been called here for you. You can talk about whatever you want here without worry."
If you need anything, just let me know. I'll head out now!
"Okay, thank you for your help, Third Brother!" Xu Lu nodded and said with a smile.
"Oh, no trouble at all! It's my honor to be able to help Director Xu!"
When Third Brother heard this, his face lit up with a smile.
Before leaving, he gave Zhang Yingying a wink, signaling her to seize the opportunity.
To be honest, Zhang Yingying became a little nervous when she saw Third Brother walk out of the private room.
You should know that the director mentioned earlier is a big shot who made a movie that grossed 1.5 billion yuan.
Although opinions within the industry are divided, her talent is undeniable, something that girls like Zhang Yingying can only look up to.
Fortunately, Zhang Yingying wasn't stunned for too long before Xu Lu spoke directly:
"Ms. Zhang, the reason I came here today is actually to see if there are any opportunities for cooperation between us. You should know that I'm currently filming the martial arts film 'The Condor Heroes', right?"
"I know, Director Xu!"
Zhang Yingying snapped out of her daze and nodded quickly.
But she didn't quite understand what this had to do with her, since she wasn't an actress; she just had a vague feeling about it.
"Here's the thing, I've been looking for a female singer to sing the opening theme song for this movie, but I haven't found anyone for a while until someone recommended you."
Xu Lu paused for a moment, then continued:
"I just heard you sing two songs, and I feel like you haven't shown your best yet. Could you let me see your real high notes?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yingying's heart pounded, and she was already filled with excitement.
She then understood why her third brother had said his opportunity had arrived and that she must seize it.
Zhang Yingying might not be confident about other aspects, but she was naturally good at high notes. Upon hearing this, she nodded and said, "Right here, Director Xu?"
"If you can, show me right here. I want to know just how high you can sing!"
Xu Lu nodded decisively, after all, that was why he came today.
Then Zhang Yingying calmed her breath, stood still and started singing. Her voice went from low to high, and then even higher, gradually soaring into the clouds.
After the song was finished, Xu Lu was the first to applaud and exclaimed, "Great, great, that was absolutely wonderful!"
"Thanks!"
To be honest, Zhang Yingying has received a lot of praise since she started singing, but this time she felt particularly excited.
You should know that the Director Xu in front of you is not only a famous director, but also a famous singer.
Zhang Yingying liked several of the songs the other party had released before, even though they didn't quite match her high notes.
So how could Zhang Yingying not be happy that such a famous singer was praising her?
Xu Lu then said directly:
"Ms. Zhang, I'm very satisfied with your voice. By the way, have you ever been signed with any talent agency before?"
"No...no!" Zhang Yingying said a little embarrassedly upon hearing this.
Actually, some agencies had approached her before, but her voice was so unique that it was hard to find songs that suited her high notes, so they had to give up in the end.
At that moment, she suddenly heard the renowned director Xu across from her speak:
"So, would you be willing to sign a contract with Daxu Culture? Don't worry, the contract is very flexible and adaptable..."
