Chapter 12: You're kowtowing to me, are you trying to send me off?

In the production team's backstage, the chief director picked up his chin from the floor, his voice still trembling.

"Su Meng is really an actor?"

The assistant director stared blankly at the screen and nodded subconsciously.

"...Yes!"

"Really a deadpan domineering CEO specialist?"

"...Yes!"

"Really doesn't understand music?"

"...Yes!"

"Yes your ass!" The chief director suddenly became furious.

"You call this not understanding music?"

"Are you blind? Or deaf?"

"You call this not understanding music?"

The assistant director extended a finger, pointing tremblingly at the screen.

"Director, I don't know if I'm blind or deaf."

"I only know that the livestream room has already exploded!"

Exploded! Yes, the livestream room had completely exploded!

"Holy crap! Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! I have no culture, so I just use 'holy crap' for everything."

"Divine tune! This is the absolute divine tune!"

"Awesome (voice crack)! This is true art! Who dares to say the suona is tacky from now on?"

"Did you see that? This 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix' really attracted so many birds!"

"Is this real? Is this real? Did this tune really attract so many birds?"

"Not only is the tune good, Su Meng's blowing is amazing!"

"To the person above... *cough, cough, cough*... alright, I thought of something else."

"I previously thought Su Meng playing the suona for a funeral was a bit tacky, but today, why do I feel like he's become a legend with one tune?"

"My dad asked me why I was kneeling to watch the screen. I showed him the livestream, and now our whole family is kneeling."

On Weibo's trending searches, a piece of news suddenly landed on the top headline.

#A performance of "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" attracts the chirping of a hundred birds! (Explosive)#

Manager Sister Qin looked at the Weibo top headline and was completely dumbfounded.

Could it be that the previous positioning of Su Meng's persona was really wrong?

Is this the correct way to open Su Meng?

But in the entertainment industry, who has ever become famous by playing the suona?

Numb, numb...

"Artistic masterpiece! This is a true artistic masterpiece!"

At the Longguo Conservatory of Music, Teacher Hu's hands were trembling a bit.

Not only him, almost all the students nodded silently, deeply agreeing with this evaluation.

"The tune is good, the performance is even better!"

"I still underestimated him. His suona technique has already far surpassed mine!"

What? Everyone stared at Teacher Hu in shock.

You are the recognized number one suona player in the country!

How... but thinking of the scene of a hundred birds chirping in the picture, everyone was relieved.

No matter how good Teacher Hu's suona technique is, can it cause such a big scene? Just kidding.

Playing "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" really attracted a hundred birds to chirp; this is almost a myth!

Could this be the legendary unity of person and suona?

Teacher Hu sighed for a while, then suddenly remembered something and said urgently.

"Bai Bai Xiaoling, I asked you to contact Su Meng's agency, did you contact them?"

Bai Bai Bai Xiaoling nodded obediently and explained.

"I have already communicated with his manager, and we have reached a preliminary agreement."

"After he finishes filming the show, he will come to give us a few lectures."

Lectures? The students below were instantly stunned.

Although they are studying folk music, as part of the Longguo Conservatory of Music, they also have some pride.

They always sneer at these traffic celebrities.

But they didn't expect that Teacher Hu would actually invite a traffic celebrity to give lectures?

But thinking of the scene just now, everyone was relieved again.

With such miraculous suona technique, what's wrong with him being your teacher?

Teacher Hu nodded, then suddenly shook his head again.

"Not enough, still not enough!"

"Contact them again and see if Su Meng is willing to record this tune. Our Longguo Conservatory of Music is willing to cooperate fully."

"Even for several domestic orchestras, as long as he needs it, I'll sell this old face of mine and pull people over for him!"

"This tune deserves the highest standard!"

In front of a grave, led by an old man, a group of people wearing mourning clothes suddenly knelt down in front of Su Meng with a thud.

Then, led by the old man, they started kowtowing to Su Meng.

Su Meng was startled.

Oh my god, I'm just a young man, why are you a group of filial descendants kowtowing to me?

Are you shortening my lifespan? Or are you trying to send me off?

He quickly dodged, grabbed the old man, and said urgently.

"Old man, what are you doing!"

The old man was already in tears.

"My old father worked hard his whole life. I didn't expect that when he left, there would be a master like you to see him off."

"With so many birds seeing my father off, he won't be lonely on the road to the underworld!"

"It's worth it! This life is really worth it!"

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"

Su Meng was also a bit touched.

In his previous life, there was a movie called "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix."

According to the customs of the older generation in some places, "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" cannot be played casually at a funeral.

Only elderly people with high prestige and virtue are qualified to enjoy "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix."

I didn't expect that after coming to this parallel world, there would be signs of this too?

But having said that, I really just wanted to show off and gain some popularity!

"Master, why haven't I seen you before? Where did you take jobs before?"

The head of the Li Troupe asked with admiration.

Not only the head of the Li Troupe, but even Wang Wang Laowu, who picked up Su Meng, was the same.

He originally thought he had picked up a master, but who knew this master would be so awesome?

Su Meng chuckled and said calmly.

"Um, it's a bit embarrassing to say, but this is my first time taking a funeral job!"

First time taking a funeral job?

The two troupe heads looked at each other, and the head of the Li Troupe suddenly realized.

"Understood, you must have been taking wedding jobs before, right?"

"Oh right, Master Su, our troupe has a job tomorrow..."

"Get lost!" Wang Wang Laowu pushed him away and said dissatisfiedly.

"Are you shameless? Stealing people right in front of me?"

In the blink of an eye, he put on a full smile again.

Now, the way he looked at Su Meng was even more respectful than how he looked at his own master.

This is the true master!

"Master Su, do you see if tomorrow is convenient? There's a funeral job in Qinghe Village tomorrow..."

"Old Wang, Master Su already said he was taking wedding jobs before. Master Su, our troupe's job tomorrow is a wedding job, look..."

"Our host family tomorrow is generous, definitely worthy of Master Su."

"Is Master Su the kind of person who looks at money? Wedding jobs are good, so festive."

"Master Su is a master at funeral jobs, don't you cause trouble."

"What trouble? Didn't you hear Master Su say? He also wrote 'Wedding Procession', 'Carrying the Bridal Sedan', these are definitely for wedding jobs."

"Master Su..."

Su Meng chuckled, watching the two troupe heads arguing, feeling it was very interesting.

"Master Su!"

The eldest grandson of the deceased walked over, followed by a young girl.

The eldest son held Su Meng's hand tightly and said gratefully.

"Master Su, thank you so much today. Your craft is truly beyond reproach!"

"My grandfather having you to see him off, this life is worth it!"

"Niuniu!"

The girl behind bowed slightly and handed over a thick red envelope.

"Master Su, this red envelope is a little token from our family. Please don't mind if it's too little."

"With your craft to see my great-grandfather off, he really..."

"Eh? Why do you look a bit familiar?"

Niuniu held the red envelope, suddenly stunned, looking at Su Meng suspiciously.

Su Meng didn't do much disguise when he came out this time, just wearing a hat and glasses.

However, he followed the traffic route, and his fans were mostly young girls; in the countryside, no one paid attention.

Especially since this family was busy with the funeral, they hadn't been online these past two days and didn't recognize him.

But today, for the sake of a solemn performance, Su Meng wore a Zhongshan suit and took off his hat.

This girl is an urban white-collar worker who pays more attention to the entertainment industry, and she looked at Su Meng with more suspicion.

Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, Su Meng didn't care and chuckled.

"Hello Niuniu, I am Su Meng."

"Ah~~~ It's Su Meng, it's really Su Meng!"

Niuniu became excited, her eyes turning into little hearts.

The eldest son looked confused and interrupted.

"Niuniu, do you know this master?"

"What master, this is a big celebrity!"

Niuniu grabbed Su Meng's hand, shaking it desperately, excited to the point of being incoherent.

"Brother, I'm your fan!"

"I didn't expect to see the real you? And it's at our family's grave?"

Emmm... Su Meng felt bad instantly.

What kind of talk is this? What do you mean by "the real you"?

In the livestream room, there was also a burst of laughter.

Her father was stunned for a moment, then suddenly slapped his thigh and realized.

"I said so! Whose master could have such good skills? So it's a big celebrity!"

"This must be a big celebrity who plays the suona, a big musician!"

Niuniu pouted and said unhappily.

"Dad, what are you talking about? Brother Su is an actor!"

"Brother, I didn't expect you to be able to play the suona? And play it so well?"

The people from the suona troupe next to them were all stunned.

Wang Wang Laowu was stunned for a while and asked suspiciously.

"Um... girl, did you recognize the wrong person?"

"If he's a big celebrity, why would he run to the countryside to take a funeral job?"

Su Meng waved his hand indifferently and said nonchalantly.

"Old Wang, look at what you're saying. So what if I'm a big celebrity? Can't a big celebrity take a funeral job?"

"To use your words, we eat by our skills, that's not shameful!"

In the crowd, there was already some commotion.

Especially some young people, hearing the name Su Meng, surrounded him.

Although some people didn't care for this traffic celebrity, he was still a big celebrity after all.

Actually appearing in front of them, everyone was very curious.

At this moment, Niuniu's curiosity was overflowing.

"Brother, that's what you say, but you're a big celebrity after all. Isn't it shameful to take a funeral job?"

Here we go again. Su Meng was also helpless, sighed, and asked coaxingly.

"So what if I'm a celebrity? Celebrities are people too!"

"Let me ask you, is Deng Deng Deng Ziqi a big celebrity?"

"Yes!" Many people nodded at the same time.

"Then let me tell you, Deng Deng Deng Ziqi also needs to eat, and she will drool when she sees delicious food!"

Ah? A group of people were instantly stunned.

Su Meng wasn't finished and continued to ask.

"Boss Yang is a big celebrity, right?"

"...Yes!"
