Chapter 177
"Rolling in the Deep!"
Bai Xiao's voice echoed throughout the entire concert hall.
Just hearing the name, it was clearly a pop song name.
Instantly, everyone's interest was piqued.
Especially the people from Berklee College of Music.
You know, although Berklee College of Music doesn't seem to rank very high among international music academies, there is a reason for that.
Because the rankings of music academies are mostly based on the direction of classical music.
But Berklee College of Music?
Its true specialty is in pop music!
It can be said that in the field of pop music, Berklee College of Music is known as the world's top music academy!
It can even be said to be the world's largest and top-tier independent modern music academy.
Let's give an example.
The most authoritative pop music award recognized by the European and American music festivals is the Grammy Awards.
And Berklee College of Music?
It has only been established for a few decades, but it has over a hundred alumni who have won a total of over 300 Grammy Awards!
That is the kind of awesome existence it is!
So although the people who came from Berklee today seemed to be exchanging piano skills, their true specialty and the field they were interested in was pop music.
Now that they heard this music master had actually written a pop song?
These people instantly had huge expectations.
……
Before long, Bai Xiao had already arranged the accompaniment.
This song had actually already been recorded, but the post-production of the MV hadn't been completely finished, which is why it hadn't been officially released.
After all, the original MV from her past life was very creative and unforgettable, and Su Meng also liked it very much.
When the system rewarded it, it also rewarded the script for the MV.
Su Meng had taken it out as well.
The music started, and Bai Xiao on stage raised the microphone.
"There's a fire starting in my heart..."
As soon as the voice came out, almost everyone from Berklee was stunned.
When Bai Xiao spoke, her voice was clear and pleasant.
But in this song, her voice carried a hint of hoarseness and vicissitudes.
Like a cup of mellow old wine, it instantly made everyone addicted.
This was also something Su Meng specifically instructed.
In her past life, this song was one of Adele's representative works.
It brought her vocal conditions to the fullest.
It was fortunate that Bai Xiao's vocal range was versatile, allowing her to sing it in this way.
The soulful yet passionate singing voice echoed throughout the entire concert hall.
"Rolling in the deep..."
The large concert hall was silent.
Almost everyone closed their eyes slightly, deeply intoxicated.
How awesome this song was in her past life, anyone with a slight understanding of foreign music knew.
At the 54th Grammy Awards, this song won three major awards: "Song of the Year," "Record of the Year," and "Best Short Form Music Video."
The degree of its classic status can be seen.
Even in the Dragon Kingdom, although many people didn't know the lyrics, the melody was very familiar.
Even the first song of the first episode of the first season of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom" in her past life was this song!
……
After singing the song, Bai Xiao slowly put down the microphone in her hand.
The scene was still silent.
Almost everyone was immersed in the song, unable to pull themselves out for a long time.
Those present were professionals, and the more professional they were, the more they could appreciate the exquisiteness of this song.
Finally, Ferdinand woke up, jumped up, and shouted crazily.
Not only him, but everyone at the scene jumped up, clapping and shouting crazily.
Especially the young people from Berklee College of Music, who were even more fanatical.
On the contrary, the students of the Imperial Music Academy were relatively calm.
After all, Bai Xiao was the existence that suppressed the entire Spring Festival Gala!
And since this song was written by Teacher Su, it's not surprising that the song is good, right?
After a long while, the applause subsided slightly, and Ferdinand asked impatiently.
"This beautiful lady, this song is so good, why have I never heard it before?"
Bai Xiao smiled slightly and said indifferently.
"This is a song Teacher Su just wrote; I just finished recording it and haven't officially released it yet."
Ferdinand suddenly realized and praised it endlessly.
"This song is truly amazing!"
"A few days ago, the latest Grammy Awards were announced, but compared to this song, that Song of the Year is still far behind."
"If this song could have come out a few months earlier, it would definitely have swept this year's Grammys!"
Bai Xiao smiled slightly and didn't speak.
A few months earlier? A few months earlier, I didn't even know Teacher Su yet!
At that time, he was still a poker-faced CEO!
Ferdinand sighed for a while, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"By the way, this beautiful lady, is there any plan to release this song outside the Dragon Kingdom?"
"If it could be released in the Lighthouse Country, then this song definitely won't be absent from next year's Grammy Awards!"
"No, not just the Lighthouse Country; such a good song should be heard by the whole world!"
"Oh, by the way, I also hold a position at Universal Music Group."
"If you want to release it globally, I can help with a little favor."
Release in the Lighthouse Country? Global release?
Bai Xiao was slightly stunned; she really hadn't thought about this question.
But thinking about it, it didn't seem like a bad thing.
After all, this is an English song, and it would be more suitable in the European and American music scene.
In the Dragon Kingdom... hehe, to be honest, besides a few people, how many can truly understand it?
Most people just listen to the melody and join in the fun.
……
Bai Xiao quickly figured it out, nodded, and said.
"I personally have no problem with it."
"But I still need to ask for Teacher Su's opinion."
"I don't think he would object."
"Great! It's truly great!" Ferdinand danced with excitement.
"I can't wait to download this song and listen to it on loop ten times! Oh no, a hundred times!"
Bai Xiao smiled slightly and said indifferently.
"Mr. Ferdinand, your wish should be realized very soon."
"This song has already been recorded, and the MV is also undergoing post-production editing; it will be officially launched soon!"
"Great!" Ferdinand's eyes lit up instantly.
"At that time, I will personally provide the greatest possible help."
"After all, I have some influence in the European and American music scene."
"Hahaha, I can already imagine it."
"This song will definitely hit the Billboard singles chart in the Lighthouse Country immediately!"
"No, no, no, not just the Lighthouse Country; this song will definitely sweep the European and American music scene!"
"By the way, this beautiful lady, when is this song scheduled to be officially released in the Dragon Kingdom?"
"I will try to arrange it; if it can be released globally simultaneously, that would be the best!"
Bai Xiao smiled slightly and said slowly.
"In three days, at midnight!"
……
"What? Global release?"
Receiving Bai Xiao's call, Su Meng was also stunned.
He brought this song out actually more because he had sucked away Bai Xiao's luck and felt a bit guilty.
His mind was currently full of "Drawing Sword," and he hadn't thought about how to operate this song at all.
But he didn't expect Bai Xiao to bring him such a big surprise?
If it's released in Europe and America, it will definitely harvest a huge wave of popularity points!
Then what are we waiting for?
"I have no problem here."
"As for how to operate it, leave it to the boss."
"He can't just eat and do nothing; he has to do some work too."
"He wouldn't really think of himself as just a boss, would he?"
Achoo!
In the office, Duan Duan Jiangping rubbed his nose and sneezed fiercely.
……
On the internet, the popularity regarding Su Meng had already decreased quite a bit.
After all, for more than a month, Su Meng had been in a state of invisibility.
For a celebrity, less exposure naturally means less popularity.
Especially since many celebrities jumped out to step on Su Meng.
Once or twice was fine, but after many times, it made many people numb.
The recent hot topic was actually Hua Hua Chenyu's new song.
After all, his way of stepping on Su Meng was quite skillful.
Others were stepping on Su Meng for eating the Spring Festival Gala's food while cursing the Spring Festival Gala's mother.
Only he grabbed onto Su Meng's "bumpkin" point and attacked relentlessly, which could be considered cursing with variety.
It even triggered a wave of discussion on "Is Su Meng a bumpkin or not."
Amidst various expectations, Hua Hua Chenyu's Weibo finally officially announced the news.
"New song '...' officially released tomorrow at midnight, simultaneously released on all major music platforms across the internet!"
"This is my first attempt at an English song, and it was all written and composed by myself, oh."
As soon as this news came out, his Weibo instantly became lively.
"Wow, Hua Hua is going to sing an English song; how high-class!"
"Looking forward to it, looking forward to it; is Hua Hua going to advance from the Chinese music scene to the international music scene?"
"What's wrong with the international music scene? With Hua Hua's talent, he must also be a top-tier creative talent!"
"I've already taken out all my red envelope money; I must help Hua Hua get to the top of the charts!"
"Yeah, yeah, Hua Hua hasn't reached the top of the download charts for a long time."
"Hmph! It's all that bumpkin Su Meng's fault! Last time, Hua Hua's song was so good, it almost couldn't even get into the top twenty!"
"Hua Hua, don't mind that bumpkin; you are the best, most excellent, and most high-class!"
"Where is that bumpkin? Probably dug a hole to bury himself in, right? Hahahaha..."
Amidst the cheers of a group of brainless fans, a different style of comment suddenly floated out.
"I suggest you go look at Bai Xiao's Weibo before talking; Su Meng doesn't know English songs? Hehe..."
This sentence made all the fans feel a bit confused.
But some people subconsciously opened Bai Xiao's Weibo.
At a glance, they were instantly stunned.
……
Perhaps it was a coincidence.
Almost at the same time Hua Hua Chenyu posted on Weibo, Bai Xiao also posted a Weibo.
"Very honored to be able to sing Teacher Su Meng's work again."
"Teacher Su's latest single '...', released globally simultaneously tomorrow at midnight!"
As soon as the news came out, Weibo instantly exploded.
"5555... the missing person has returned! It's been almost two months since he showed his face, right?"
"Scatter flowers, scatter flowers, Master Thousand Fingers has finally returned!"
"Master Su's new song? Then I must support it blindly; the only question... it won't be a foreign version of a funeral song, right?"
"Su Meng doesn't seem to have written many songs, but why do I feel so expectant about his new song?"
"Phoenix Legend has finally reunited; must support!"
"Listening to the name, it seems to be an English song? Didn't someone say Teacher Su doesn't understand English? Is this a slap in the face?"
"Hahaha, the Great Mage has run into the bumpkin again; is there any doubt about the result?"
"Releasing an English song in the Chinese music scene... why does it feel weird?"
"Holy crap, did I read that right? Global simultaneous release? This tone is too big, right?"
Finally, someone discovered the point; the words "global simultaneous release" made many people bewildered.
How long has Bai Xiao been in the industry?
How did she end up at the point of global simultaneous release?
Then someone suddenly realized.
