Chapter 108

Amidst the anticipation of the masses, the host Xiao Ying finally spoke slowly.

"Next, please enjoy the song 'Hero Song'."

"Lyrics: Su Meng."

"Composer: Su Meng."

"Arranger: Su Meng."

"Vocals: Liu Huan."

"Accompaniment: Shanghai Folk Orchestra."

In the livestream room, a large wave of question marks suddenly flew across the screen.

I’ve already prepared my tissues, and this is what you show me?

What happened to the promised 'Great Funeral'? What about the 'Peaceful Road to the West'?

How did it turn into 'Hero Song'?

On stage, Xiao Ying continued.

"This song is the theme song for the large-scale historical drama 'Water Margin' that CCTV is about to release."

"Crafted with great effort by Mr. Su Meng, please enjoy!"

Yes, for this concert, Su Meng also pushed this song out.

The 'Water Margin' production team was also happy to see this happen.

Releasing the song early on such a high-profile occasion was also a way to build hype for the drama.

The netizens in the livestream room were shocked when they heard this introduction.

"Holy crap, did I hear that right? The theme song for 'Water Margin' was written by Su Meng? Is he that fierce?"

"With CCTV involved, the quality is guaranteed. I’m suddenly looking forward to this song."

"With Master Su’s involvement, even if the style is a bit 'underworld,' does the quality even need to be questioned?"

"Su Meng teaming up with Liu Huan, this is a powerful collaboration."

At the concert hall, Da Qiao Da Qiao Qiao Tiancheng and the teachers all sat up straight subconsciously.

As the head of the Vocal Music Department, Liu Huan had very high standards.

Since he was singing this song himself, the quality would definitely not be bad.

Before they could finish their thoughts, a burst of drumbeats suddenly arrived.

Following the accompaniment, Liu Huan’s heroic voice rang out.

"The great river flows eastward, the stars in the sky reflect the Big Dipper~~~"

On stage, the backing vocal group’s voices rose.

"Hey hey, reflect the Big Dipper, a bowl of wine for a bond of life and death~~~"

These were students carefully selected by Liu Huan from the Vocal Music Department; their professional standards were naturally beyond doubt.

The powerful voices complemented the artistic conception of the song perfectly.

"We leave when we say we leave, you have it, I have it, we all have it~~~"

"Hey hey, we all have it, through water and fire without looking back~~~"

"Roar when you see injustice, strike when it’s time to strike, charging through the nine provinces with vigor~~~"

Simple and direct, yet heroic and straightforward lyrics, combined with Liu Huan’s soul-stirring singing, made this song instantly captivate everyone.

Many people couldn't help but visualize the scene of the Liangshan heroes eating meat in big chunks, drinking wine in big bowls, and acting on behalf of Heaven.

"Good! Good song! Written well, and sung well too!"

On Da Qiao Da Qiao Qiao Tiancheng’s calm face, a wave of excitement suddenly appeared.

Not just him, everyone at the venue and in the livestream room felt the same.

"It’s ruined!"

The bearded director Zhang Jizhong suddenly jumped up and hit his own head hard.

"Director Zhang, what’s wrong?"

The assistant director asked hurriedly.

Zhang Jizhong grabbed him and said urgently.

"Notify the editor immediately, now! Right now! Immediately!"

"Cut the MV for 'Hero Song' and release it as soon as possible!"

"MV?" A big question mark appeared over the assistant director’s head.

Has the director gone crazy?

"Director Zhang, Mr. Liu Huan can't come over for a while..."

"He doesn't need to come over, just use the footage from our film!"

Zhang Jizhong waved his hand, interrupting him directly.

"Releasing this song on an occasion like today is bound to explode in popularity."

"What kind of promotion is this for our film?"

"I’ve only heard of a film making a song popular before, I didn't expect that today, a song might make a film popular?"

"It’s worth it!"

After the song finished, the venue erupted into enthusiastic applause.

On stage, Liu Huan bowed and then walked off.

But on stage, those instrumentalists remained seated, motionless.

Not only that, but a few members carrying electric guitars, basses, and other instruments even walked up.

In the livestream room, it had already exploded.

"Holy crap! Holy crap, holy crap! Is this too cool or what?"

"Hearing this song, I couldn't help but drink three bottles of beer, now I’m so dizzy, what do I do?"

"I declare that from now on, no matter who remakes 'Water Margin,' they will never find a more suitable theme song!"

"When will 'Water Margin' air? I can’t wait anymore~~!"

"Holy crap, didn't you guys notice? Those instrumentalists didn't leave the stage, looks like there’s more?"

"High energy ahead, Su Meng’s suona is about to appear!"

"What are those electric guitars and basses doing up there? Is the suona doing a mashup now?"

On stage, Xiao Ying walked back up, and the excitement on her face was visible to everyone.

Even her voice carried a hint of excitement.

"Next, please enjoy the song 'Power Over the World'!"

"Lyrics: Ancient Style Leader Su Meng."

"Composer: Ancient Style Leader Su Meng."

"Arranger: Ancient Style Leader Su Meng."

"Vocals: Lord Thousand Fingers!"

"Guzheng: Lord Thousand Fingers!"

Following her words, a slender woman dressed in ancient costume walked gracefully onto the stage and sat before the guzheng.

But her face was covered by a veil, revealing only her eyes.

"Ancient Style Leader? Lord Thousand Fingers? What is this?"

Da Qiao Da Qiao Qiao Tiancheng asked subconsciously, looking confused.

The other teachers were the same; after all, they didn't know much about this kind of ACG stuff.

Wu Wu Guangren opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain it for a moment.

Ever since Su Meng crashed his venue, he had spent time watching all of Su Meng’s collections, so he naturally understood a bit.

But... how should I explain this to these old men?

"Lord Thousand Fingers! Lord Thousand Fingers! Lord Thousand Fingers!"

In the concert hall, some students suddenly became excited and shouted loudly.

For these ACG fans, this song could be called a legendary existence.

Back then, Su Meng had suppressed the entire comic convention with just half of 'Power Over the World'.

Especially since he had declared at the end that this piece would be officially recorded and released.

And the person releasing it would be the mysterious Lord Thousand Fingers!

This news caused a sensation throughout the entire ACG circle.

Although Lord Thousand Fingers hadn't appeared yet, and no one even knew if such a person existed.

But the popularity had always remained high.

Even Lord Thousand Fingers’ account on Bilibili had already amassed millions of followers without a single work released.

Today, this mysterious Lord Thousand Fingers actually appeared?

And she looks like she’s very beautiful!

In the ACG world, beauty is justice!

In the livestream room, it had already completely exploded.

"Ah~~~ The Leader has made a move! We absolutely cannot let Master Su steal the spotlight!"

"Lord Thousand Fingers! Lord Thousand Fingers! Lord Thousand Fingers! Finally, she has appeared after much calling!"

"There really is a Lord Thousand Fingers! Ancient Style Leader and Lord Thousand Fingers teaming up, love it, love it!"

"Lord Thousand Fingers is the Great Protector of my Sun Moon Cult, I don't accept any rebuttals!"

"Lord Thousand Fingers has such a great figure, her eyes are so beautiful, I’m a fan, I’m a fan!"

In the concert hall, after a moment of noise, it suddenly became quiet.

Silence.

Following her movements, a super fast and high-energy rhythm suddenly erupted in the concert hall.

The fusion of folk music and modern instruments raised the momentum by another three points.

That rhythm, carrying a domineering and fierce momentum, was like a mountain-toppling sea, instantly igniting everyone’s blood.

On stage, Bai Bai Bai Xiaoling had already thrown herself into it completely.

Her ten fingers danced, leaving afterimages on the guzheng.

Although she was on the same stage as the instrumentalists of the Imperial Folk Orchestra, she didn't fall behind at all.

Instead, she firmly held the center position, attracting everyone’s gaze.

A moment later, the music softened slightly, and Bai Bai Bai Xiaoling’s voice rang out.

"End of the Eastern Han, smoke of war never ceases, eunuchs in chaos, the court falls, Cao Cao holds the Emperor to command the vassals."

"Occupying the East of the River with ambitions for the nine provinces, inheriting ancestral legacy, succeeding father and brother to crown himself lord of Wu and Yue, ten thousand helmets~~~"

"Good!" Off stage, Su Meng secretly cheered.

"This... this is... Bai Bai Bai Xiaoling?" Deng Deng Deng Ziqi was so shocked her eyeballs almost popped out.

Su Meng nodded and said with a smile.

"Yeah, how about it, her singing skills are better than yours, right?"

Deng Deng Deng Ziqi was almost stunned.

"Her voice... God, how many sets of vocal cords does she have?"

Yes, at this moment, Bai Bai Bai Xiaoling’s voice had changed.

According to Su Meng’s requirements, it had become a loli voice, but with a hint of electronic sound.

It sounded like a character who had walked out of the ACG world.

But with such a voice, the domineering aura was not reduced in the slightest.

Su Meng was also very satisfied.

This piece was one of the representative works of the virtual idol Luo Luo Tianyi in his past life.

Many people had covered it, but few could capture this feeling.

Not to mention the vocal range issue, you have to know that virtual idols don't need to breathe.

How many singers in reality can maintain steady breath while singing long passages of lyrics?

But it just so happened that a freak like Bai Bai Bai Xiaoling appeared.

Not only are her singing skills heaven-defying, but her vocal range is also ever-changing; calling her a voice-acting monster wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Su Meng was also very satisfied with her.

You have to know, in his past life, there were many good songs, and Su Meng also thought about bringing them to this world.

But many songs are picky about the singer; not just anyone can sing them well.

Su Meng didn't have that much patience to match suitable singers one by one.

Now that he had Bai Bai Bai Xiaoling, one person could do the work of ten.

What a perfect... tool person!

In the livestream room, it had already exploded, and those ACG fans were completely crazy.
