Shocked!It was so shocking!
Zhang Xiaohua"s achievements in music had far exceeded Yuan Datong"s imagination!
From the "Broken Hearted Woman" to the rest of the legendary songs such as "See You Again", "The World" and "Pieces" and to the not-so-famous new songs, Zhang Xiaohua seemingly created these songs without the slightest effort. All of them seemed to be coming to him, as if he was born to create them. Music was created in various forms and styles, each song was different. As long as it was sang out of his mouth, it gave people a refres.h.i.+ng feeling. The lyrics and rhymes were so smooth and unique. Penetrating and appealing to your deepest emotions. Especially the catchy melodies, always easily capturing people"s minds, leaving them unable to extricate themselves!
With such terrifying talents, he... was simply the human incarnation of "G.o.d"!
No, he was the G.o.d of Music.
Ling Ming was completely fascinated at the moment, whether it was the lyrics of that song or the beautiful tunes, including the artistic conception outlined between them, which made her sway with emotion. She listened to Zhang Xiaohua"s phrase "Can I hold you baby, let me love you one last time". It was simply beautiful. She actually helplessly nodded, she was willing to invest herself in Zhang Xiaohua"s arms.
"Do you like this song?" Zhang Xiaohua asked softly. His moving singing, gentle smile, and hot eyes completely made Ling Ming lose herself. It seemed that her mind was captured by Zhang Xiaohua. Therefore, no matter what Zhang Xiaohua said, she involuntarily nodded her head.
"So, do you want to be the singer for this song?" Zhang Xiaohua smiled, and the gentle voice rang again.
Upon hearing this, Ling Ming couldn"t help but nod, filled with eagerness, as if afraid that Zhang Xiaohua would misunderstand.
He immediately turned to Emma and said, "Go get a contract and give it to Miss Li."
Emma recovered from her shock and went to bring the contract, that was specially made for signed singers, and handed it to Ling Ming.
"This is our company"s contract. You can take your time to look and think about it, if there are no issues, then feel free to sign it. Oh yeah, that song was called "Can I Hold You?", it was one of our company"s original songs. I will indicate in the contract that you will get the rights to sing the song. But the premise is that you have to sign the contract." Zhang Xiaohua explained to Ling Ming.
"Zhang... Big Brother, is this true? Can I really be the singer of that song?" asked Ling Ming, unable to believe what was happening. This was too sudden, she was not ready yet, her voice and body trembled violently.
"As long as you sign the contract, the song is yours. But I hope you can call me boss. In addition, you should know that I am very strict, I hope you consider everything clearly before signing." Saying that, Zhang Xiaohua settled himself back in the boss" chair without worrying that Ling Ming would refuse signing the contract. Unless she was an idiot, that wanted to run around for a lifetime, performing on mobile stages in town for a few yuan a day.
"Please sign it. As long as our boss is willing, you can become the next w.a.n.g Jingwen!" Emma could not wait to urge. She hoped to hear the song just now from Ling Ming"s mouth, it would certainly sound good. She also hoped that the company could grow as soon as possible, which means signing many singers, like a real music company.
Ling Ming seriously thought about it, but after thinking it over, she couldn"t think of any major negatives of signing to the company. The most important thing was that the song "Can I Hold You?" was just too good.
Although she wanted the song, Ling Ming did not hurry to sign the contract. She looked straight at Zhang Xiaohua and asked in a weak voice: "Brother, oh no! Boss, after I sign a contract, can I still go and do street performances?"
"Why do you want to perform on the street?"
"Uh..." Ling Ming slowly lowered her head, her face filled with bitterness.
If there was no choice, not many would choose to perform on the street like a beggar, every day feeling unsure of whether they would earn enough to eat, having no fixed place to live and living reliant on others" generosity. If the performance was not good enough to attract customers, it was up to the bosses of those shopping malls how much to pay, sometimes degrading them and treating them like animals, leaving them with no self-esteem at all.
He experienced this occasionally in his past life, driven by his desire to become an artist, he moved to the capital city with no family or friends. In the end, after running out of money, he had jumped on board with one of these street performance groups, somewhat hoping that maybe a scout would pa.s.s by and notice him. Mostly so he could earn enough to survive.
This kind of life, he believed n.o.body would like to experience.
However, due to the pressure of life, some were forced to do so, using their talents to survive day by day.
"Do you have something you need to do? I can help you if you need it."
Ling Ming looked up at Zhang Xiaohua and immediately lowered her head and whispered: "I was the lead singer in our troupe and was responsible for many performances. If I can"t perform in the future, then they won"t be able to work..."
"What about it? Anyway, there is no future in street performances. If you can"t do it, then that"s just how it is. What is your relations.h.i.+p with them? They aren"t your family are they? You need to remember, as long as you are part of our company, we can support you. So would you really need to rely on street performances to survive?" Zhang Xiaohua said in a preaching tone, at the same time starting to feel a little angry in his heart, was it that difficult to make her sign it? She seemed to look down on both the company and herself.
"I didn"t mean that..." Ling Ming slowly raised her head and showed a firm expression on her little face. She seriously said to Zhang Xiaohua: "I came to the city from the countryside. I couldn"t find work and I didn"t have a place to live, so I"ve slept under bridges. When I was hungry, I went to the restaurants to find leftovers. Later, the brothers and sisters of The Song and Dance Troupe took me in. They taught me to sing, taught me to dance and let me perform with them, so I at least would have a chance at earning money. Although I don"t like the job, I can"t leave them just cause I found my own way out, because without them I would probably be dead. My mother often told me that if someone wants to succeed in life, then he can"t hurt others for his own benefit. If you want me leave them, then… I can"t sign… with you..."
"So, you want me to sign your entire song and dance troupe together?"
The originally foul mood in Zhang Xiaohua"s heart was gone, replaced by gratification, he felt that the girl in front of him was way too cute.
Ling Ming nodded her head and murmured in a pleading tone: "Everyone in the song and dance troupe is very good at what they do. Although we haven"t received professional training, we are hardworking and… and we know loads of dance types. There are also many sisters who are studying vocals and they can sing really well. It"s also good to listen to." She lowered her head after finis.h.i.+ng.
Yuan Datong and co almost ran up to give her a hug and tell her it was going to be alright, right then and there, she just seemed so fragile and cute.
As for Zhang Xiaohua"s temper, they were all very clear about it. w.a.n.g Jingwen was often ridiculed and torn down by this kid, so they knew exactly how hot his temper could get.
Even if w.a.n.g Jingwen was a famous star, Zhang Xiaohua still didn"t pull his punches, let alone Ling Ming who was just starting.
When it came to cooperation, Zhang Xiaohua had always set the conditions for others, he never had anyone mention conditions to him.
But now this Ling Ming actually asked Zhang Xiaohua to help her entire song and dance troupe, otherwise she would not sign her contract. Where did she find the confidence to threaten Zhang Xiaohua?
They all felt that if Zhang Xiaohua could still hold back his temper, it would be a miracle, they were all ready to step up in her defence.
Unexpectedly, when everyone thought that Zhang Xiaohua was going to explode, he just smiled and said: "Then it"s fine, we will just sign them as well, after all, the company lacks a song and dance troupe anyway."
Yuan Datong and the rest looked at each other for a few moments, and then turned to look at Zhang Xiaohua again.
"What happened to the boss, this is not his usual style!"
"Did… the boss is giving in?"
"The sun is coming out from the west!?"
"The boss hasn"t fallen for this Ling Ming, right? But that doesn"t make sense, cause hate her or not, that w.a.n.g Jingwen can be considered slightly more beautiful than this Ling Ming. So the boss has no reason not to like w.a.n.g Jingwen, but like this Ling Ming!"
After some discussion, Yuan Datong looked at Zhang Xiaohua"s eyes for a moment. His eyes were full of doubts and whispered, "Are you sure you want to sign a song and dance troupe?"
Zhang Xiaohua gave them a look and said: "What? Do you plan to be the dancers for the concert, if I don"t sign them?"
In an instant, everyone suddenly realized!
Ahh, without dancers, the concert would inevitably be boring to watch.
The so-called hot dance was indispensable.
In this case, why not sign the song and dance troupe?
Killing two birds with one stone
The boss was truly worthy of being the boss, such vision!
"Boss, did you mean what you just said? You really want to sign our entire song and dance troupe?" Ling Ming asked both excitedly and tensely, the contract book in her hand was pinched by her. She looked at Zhang Xiaohua, her eyes slightly faint with tears.
