182: You've caught Mr. Xu's eye; your future is limitless! The first music artist signed by DaXu Culture.

Zhang Yingying hadn't had much luck these past few years.

She liked music, but she had no upward channels, nor did anyone with a discerning eye discover her, as written in novels.

So, to make a living, she usually worked as a resident singer in bars.

Although she earned a decent amount, her heart was somewhat weary.

That night, Zhang Yingying sat on stage and sang two songs, seemingly putting in effort, but in reality, they were elementary songs for her skill level.

Then, as she was about to make way for another singer, the bar owner, Third Brother, suddenly walked quickly towards her.

"Xiao Ying, come, come, let me introduce you to a benefactor. He came specifically for you today!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yingying's expression changed, and she said coldly:

"Third Brother, I told you before, I'm here to sing, and I don't want to meet any random people.

If you insist, then I can only say goodbye!"

Third Brother was stunned for a moment, then recovered and said with a smile:

"Xiao Ying, what are you talking about? What do you think I mean by introducing you to a benefactor? Those random men?

You're wrong, this is a real benefactor. You know Great Director Xu, right? The one who filmed 'summers melancholy'!"

"Of course, I know him, but what does that have to do with this Director?

I heard he's filming the return of the condor heroes or something, it's impossible for him to come looking for me, right?"

Zhang Yingying's expression relaxed slightly, but she still asked doubtfully.

Third Brother slapped his thigh and said repeatedly:

"You guessed right, Director Xu himself came to find you.

Xiao Ying, it looks like you're about to make it big. As long as Great Xu takes a liking to you, your future is limitless!

What are you still standing there for? You must seize such a good opportunity!"

Only then did Zhang Yingying, half-believing, half-doubting, follow Third Brother to a private room.

Soon she saw two men in the private room. Both were very young and had a strong presence.

But Zhang Yingying saw Great Director Xu at a glance.

At this moment, she finally confirmed that everything Third Brother had said was true.

And Third Brother, who was usually so domineering in front of others, was now bowing and scraping:

"Director Xu, Xiao Ying is here. You can talk freely about whatever you need to discuss.

Just call me if you need anything, I'll head out first!"

"Alright, thank you, Third Brother!" Xu Lu nodded and said with a smile.

"Oh, no trouble, no trouble at all! It's my honor to be able to help Director Xu!"

Third Brother's face broke into a wide smile upon hearing this.

Before leaving, he also gave Zhang Yingying a wink, meaning for her to definitely seize the opportunity.

To be honest, when she saw Third Brother leave the private room, Zhang Yingying suddenly felt a little nervous.

One must know that the great Director in front of her was an amazing person who had made a film with a box office of 1.5 billion.

Although industry insiders had mixed reviews, his strength was undeniable, and for a girl like Zhang Yingying, he was someone she could only look up to.

Fortunately, Xu Lu didn't let Zhang Yingying daze for too long and spoke directly:

"Miss Zhang, I came today to see if there's an opportunity for cooperation between us. You should know that I'm currently filming the 'Condor' Genre film, right?"

"I know, Director Xu!"

Zhang Yingying snapped out of it and quickly nodded.

But she didn't quite understand what the other party's words had to do with her, as she wasn't an Actor, though she had a faint premonition.

"It's like this, I've been looking for a female singer who can sing the opening theme song for this film. I've been searching for a while without success, until someone recommended you."

Xu Lu paused, then continued:

"I just heard you sing two songs, and I feel like you haven't shown your best yet. Can you let me hear your true high notes?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yingying's heart pounded, and she was already excited inside.

Only then did she understand why Third Brother said her opportunity had arrived and that she must seize it.

If it were other aspects, Zhang Yingying might not be confident, but she was naturally good at high notes. At this, she nodded and said, "Here? Director Xu?"

"If you can, please demonstrate it here. I want to know how high you can sing!"

Xu Lu nodded decisively, as that was why he had come today.

Zhang Yingying calmed her breathing, stood in place, and began to sing. Her voice went from low to high, then even higher, gradually soaring into the clouds.

When the song was finished, Xu Lu was the first to applaud, praising, "Good, good, good, it was truly excellent!"

"Thank you!"

To be honest, Zhang Yingying had been praised many times since she started singing, but this time she felt exceptionally excited.

One must know that Director Xu in front of her was not only a great Director but also a great singer.

Zhang Yingying liked several songs he had released previously, even if they didn't quite match her high notes.

So, how could Zhang Yingying not be happy when such a great singer was praising her?

Xu Lu then said directly:

"Miss Zhang, I'm very satisfied with your voice. By the way, have you ever signed with any management company before?"

"No... no!" Hearing this, Zhang Yingying said a little awkwardly.

In fact, some management companies had approached her before, but her vocal timbre was too unique, making it difficult to find songs suitable for her high notes, so they eventually gave up.

And at this moment, she suddenly heard Great Director Xu across from her speak:

"Then are you willing to sign with Da Xu Culture? Don't worry, the contract is very flexible and free..."

Before Xu Lu could finish speaking, Zhang Yingying nodded eagerly:

"Director Xu, I'm willing, I'm willing!"

Zhang Yingying clearly remembered Third Brother's instructions when he brought her over; he told her to definitely seize this opportunity.

Because perhaps this was her only chance in her lifetime, Zhang Yingying didn't bother with any reservations and directly shouted out.

Hearing this, Xu Lu also nodded slightly and said:

"Miss Zhang, welcome to Da Xu Culture. I've brought the contract, please take a look and see if you have any questions."

"Okay, Director Xu, you can call me Xiao Ying, Third Brother and them all call me that!"

Zhang Yingying nodded, reached out, and took the contract from Feng Xiaoxia's hand, then carefully browsed through it.

Although she trusted that Great Director Xu across from her wouldn't harm her, caution itself was a fundamental skill in this industry.

But as Xu Lu had just said, this contract was flexible and relatively free, which meant there was less detailed information, so it wouldn't make one dizzy.

So, Zhang Yingying didn't take much time to confirm that the contract indeed had no traps.

She even felt that such a flexible contract might not exist in the industry.

Having confirmed the contract was correct, Zhang Yingying, who had already decided to firmly grasp this opportunity, quickly signed her name on the contract.

Thus, from this moment on, she became the first music artist under Da Xu Culture Media Co., Ltd..

What surprised her even more was that Director Xu across from her quickly spoke:

"Xiao Ying, you should rest early today. Tomorrow morning, I'll have someone pick you up, and we'll go to the recording studio together to record songs."
