Chapter 176
"Someone wants to pay to invite you to the Lighthouse Country to play for a funeral..."
What? Su Meng was also stunned.
"Are they overseas Chinese?"
"No, they are a pure Lighthouse Country native." Wu Wu Guangren was even more dazed.
"And he is a professor at Berklee College of Music, a world-renowned piano master..."
Holy crap!
Su Meng's hand shook, and he almost dropped the keyboard on the floor.
Go abroad to play for a foreigner's funeral?
How is this thing so bizarre?
"Mr. Wu, what exactly is going on?"
"It's a long story; it started with the exchange visit from Berklee College of Music..."
Wu Wu Guangren told the whole story from beginning to end.
"Mr. Wu." Su Meng was also somewhat dumbfounded.
"I don't know when his father will die."
"I've been very busy lately; I can't just do nothing while waiting for him to kick the bucket, right?"
"How about this: you discuss it with him, and we'll talk after his father dies."
"I'll help him arrange a professional team..."
……
A village in Pinghe City.
The suona player finished a section, picked up a large bowl, and gulped down a few mouthfuls.
"You have to say, these pieces written by Master Su are just spirited to play!"
Wang Wang Laowu snorted coldly.
"Don't just talk about the pieces; your skills haven't improved much lately."
"Master Su taught us quite a lot!"
The suona player gave a sheepish smile.
"Brother Five, you can't compare me to Master Su!"
"We just play for funerals in the village; this skill is enough now."
"That won't do!" Wang Wang Laowu glared at him fiercely.
"We are all half-disciples of Master Su!"
"With your skill, you're really losing face for Master Su!"
"If Master Su comes back one day and sees you like this, who knows how he'll scold you."
The suona player scratched his head and said.
"Brother Five, you still think Master Su will come back?"
"He's a big celebrity!"
"How could he come back to mess with this suona band with you?"
"Being able to get a few pointers from Master Su is already burning high incense..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Wang Laowu's phone suddenly rang.
Seeing the number on the screen, Wang Wang Laowu's face turned bright red with excitement, and he even stuttered a bit.
"Master Su..."
Holy crap! Was it really Master Su calling?
Several people in the band were instantly stunned.
A moment later, Wang Wang Laowu hung up the phone, his face full of bewilderment.
Several people were instantly anxious.
"Brother Five, what did Master Su say?"
Wang Wang Laowu was still a bit dizzy and said subconsciously.
"Master Su introduced us to a big job."
"In a while, our band... will go abroad collectively."
"Go to a church in the Lighthouse Country... to... play for a funeral!"
What? Several people were completely dumbfounded.
Did I hear that right?
We are just an ordinary rural suona band.
Now you're telling me we actually have a chance to go abroad to play for a funeral?
Has this damn thing upgraded to a multinational suona band group?
And it's also in... a church?
What kind of thing is that?
Is it a foreigner's grave?
After a long while, the suona player jumped up with a howl and grabbed the suona directly.
"Brother Five! Don't worry! I will definitely practice my skills well!"
"Going abroad to play for a funeral, I definitely won't lose face for Master Su!"
It was as if his Ren and Du meridians had been opened by this news.
The piece "The Grand Funeral" was played, and it was actually played by this suona player with such soul-stirring power...
……
"Amazing!"
"Master Su is too amazing!"
"This is the true master!"
In the concert hall of the Imperial Music Academy, everyone from Berklee couldn't help but praise him endlessly.
Just now, at their repeated requests, Wu Wu Guangren took them to listen to many of Su Meng's works.
Although they didn't understand some of the instruments, they could still hear the exquisiteness of the pieces.
Now everyone was completely convinced by this mysterious Master Su.
This is the true music master!
Ferdinand stood up, walked to Wu Wu Guangren, bowed deeply, and said seriously.
"Mr. Wu, I apologize deeply for my previous rudeness."
"Your school has such a top-tier music master; it's only a matter of time before you rank among the world's top music academies!"
"If there is a chance, I really want to ask this master for advice in person."
Wu Wu Guangren felt secretly delighted when he heard him say this.
However, amidst the secret delight, there was also a hint of unhappiness.
Why is Su Meng registered in the Folk Music Department?
And isn't this master a bit too distracted from his proper work?
Wouldn't it be better to focus on developing in the music world?
Making movies and TV series; is that stuff really that good?
Ferdinand's tone held a hint of regret.
"I personally have done quite a bit of research on pop music."
"Those few songs by Master Su just now are rare gems."
"It's a pity they are all Chinese songs; I don't understand the meaning of the lyrics, which is truly a pity."
"If Master Su could write a few English songs, that would be even more perfect."
Many people from Berklee also looked regretful.
Just as Wu Wu Guangren was about to speak, a clear voice suddenly came from the back row.
"Who said Teacher Su hasn't written English songs?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a beautiful figure slowly stand up.
"Bai Xiao?" Many people from the Imperial Music Academy exclaimed instantly.
Bai Xiao already had high popularity in school.
Now that she had become famous in one battle at the Spring Festival Gala, how could they, as alumni, not recognize her?
Bai Xiao walked gracefully to Ferdinand's side and said in fluent English.
"Teacher Su just wrote an English pop song."
"Since everyone is so interested, why don't I sing it live for you?"
Really?
Not only the people from Berklee, but even the people from the Imperial Music Academy widened their eyes.
Ferdinand asked even more impatiently.
"English pop song? What's the name?"
Bai Xiao smiled slightly and said slowly.
"Rolling in the Deep!"
