Chapter 269

"Regarding film distribution, our company has a strict process."

"If Mr. Su’s movie is indeed excellent, we naturally won't refuse a good business deal."

Su Meng nodded and said lightly.

"My movie still has some finishing work to do, which will probably take another half a month."

"At that time, I will have my company contact your company."

Bai Xiao’s expression was calm, but she was already complaining in her heart.

What do you mean by finishing work? You haven't even started filming yet, have you?

But she also knew that Su Meng filmed very quickly, so she naturally wouldn't expose him.

"Elaine, you’re here too?"

While the few were talking, Andrew had finished singing and walked over, saying loudly.

"Beautiful Ms. Bai, what do you think of my singing?"

Bai Xiao nodded slightly and said lightly.

"Mr. Ferdinand’s song is naturally excellent."

Andrew was full of joy.

The eyes of others looking at him had changed.

No wonder you can only mix in the entertainment industry and don't have the qualifications to compete for the Gray family’s inheritance.

Can’t you even hear the meaning in people’s words?

Elaine shook his head helplessly and turned to Bai Xiao.

"Ms. Bai’s singing voice is beautiful; it can be called a gorgeous auditory feast."

"If you plan to hold a concert in the Lighthouse Country, please be sure to notify me in advance."

Bai Xiao nodded and suddenly looked up at Su Meng.

Su Meng thought for a moment and said slowly.

"Mr. Elaine, although my movie is not finished yet."

"However, the score for the movie has been completed."

"And the promotional song for this movie is also a rock song."

"It was written and composed by me, and sung by Bai Xiao."

"Since today is a music festival, why don't we invite Mr. Elaine and Mr. Ferdinand to appreciate it?"

Oh? Several people became interested.

If it were just an ordinary person saying this, they naturally wouldn't be like this.

But standing in front of them is a mysterious combination from the mysterious East.

Their previous work is still hanging at the top of the Billboard weekly chart in the Lighthouse Country.

Do the two have a new song together?

For a moment, their curiosity increased greatly.

Ferdinand asked impatiently.

"Mr. Su, what is the name of your new song?"

Su Meng smiled slightly and said slowly.

"The name of this song is... *[Song Title]*."

"Mr. Benedict, please accept my condolences."

Wu Wu Guangren walked to Benedict’s side with a glass of wine, raised it, and signaled.

Benedict didn't have much sadness.

"My father suffered from illness; this is also a relief for him."

"Besides, returning to the embrace of God, I think he would be very happy."

"By the way, Wu, didn't you tell me that the mysterious Mr. Su also came?"

"Yes." Wu Wu Guangren nodded and pointed to Su Meng in the corner.

"He was very happy to hear that he received an invitation from Mr. Benedict this time."

"He even brought a few assistants specifically to perform at the funeral."

"Really?" Benedict’s eyes lit up, and he lifted his leg to walk toward Su Meng.

Just then, a few more people walked over.

"Mr. Benedict, my old friend, long time no see."

Benedict was immediately caught up in social obligations.

After all, he was the host of today’s reception.

Wu Wu Guangren shrugged and stepped aside.

After finally finishing the social obligations, Benedict walked over and said apologetically.

"Sorry, Wu; you know, many old friends came today."

"Can you introduce me to Mr. Su now?"

"His piece last time really made me unforgettable for a lifetime."

Wu Wu Guangren nodded and was about to speak when someone on the stage suddenly said loudly.

"Dear guests, I am Andrew Gray; now, I would like to sing a song for everyone."

"This is one of Mr. Ferdinand’s most proud works in recent years..."

Oh? His words attracted Benedict’s attention.

"Ferdinand’s rock work?"

"Actually, I still think that with Ferdinand’s talent, he should play more in the field of classical music."

Wu Wu Guangren smiled and echoed casually.

"Mr. Ferdinand is just like you, an equally excellent musician."

"Whether it is classical music or pop music, he can handle it with ease."

While the two were talking, Andrew had already started singing, and the atmosphere at the scene had become much warmer.

After all, rock music is inherently very good at mobilizing the atmosphere.

However, many of the people present were artists in the field of classical music.

They were somewhat indifferent to the form of rock music.

A hint of sadness appeared on Benedict’s face.

"My father loved excitement when he was alive."

"Almost every weekend, he would hold a party at home."

"He liked to sing and dance."

"It was precisely because of his influence that I embarked on the path of music."

"It’s a pity that after his health deteriorated, he never held a party again."

"With so many people coming to see him off today, I think he will be very happy in heaven."

Hearing him say this, Wu Wu Guangren didn't know what to say, so he just accompanied him to listen to the song silently.

After the song was finished, Benedict shook his head slightly.

"This song is naturally very excellent, but Andrew’s performance is a bit lacking."

"Otherwise, this song would be the best gift for my father."

He sighed for a while and then said.

"Let’s go, Wu; help me introduce myself to Mr. Su."

Wu Wu Guangren nodded and took him toward Su Meng.

After walking a few steps, Benedict suddenly pulled him.

"Wait a minute, Wu, is Ms. Bai going to sing?"

Wu Wu Guangren was stunned, looked up, and saw that Bai Xiao had already walked toward the stage.

She walked to the mixing console on the side and was communicating with the sound engineer.

Wu Wu Guangren was also puzzled and subconsciously stopped.

At this moment, Ferdinand suddenly walked quickly to the stage, tapped the microphone, and immediately attracted the attention of everyone at the scene.

On the stage, Ferdinand said excitedly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to be the announcer."

His words piqued the curiosity of everyone at the scene.

Ferdinand continued.

"I think everyone should know which song is the hottest on the Billboard in the Lighthouse Country now, right?"

A girl shouted impatiently.

"*[Song Title]*! A very great song!"

Ferdinand pointed and said.

"Avril is right!"

"Yes, it is this song, which has been at the top of the Billboard weekly chart in the Lighthouse Country for a long time."

"But what you may not have noticed is that the author of this song is a top musician from the distant East."

"I have had the honor of listening to his music and was deeply intoxicated by it."

"And today, a new work of his is about to be released here!"

"The one who will sing this song for us is none other than the Billboard champion singer... the beautiful Ms. Bai Xiao!"

*Wow*... The scene immediately erupted in warm applause.

This song has swept Europe and America recently, so they are naturally no strangers to it.

Although many people are classical musicians and are not very interested in pop music, they have to admit that this is a good song.

And today, there is a new song coming out?

Many people became excited.

The girl from just now jumped and shouted.

"Mr. Ferdinand, what is the name of this song?"

Ferdinand chuckled.

"It seems our Avril can’t wait."

"As an equally excellent singer, do you want to challenge Ms. Bai Xiao?"

The scene immediately erupted in a burst of laughter.

Su Meng looked in the direction of the voice, and his eyes lit up.

The girl speaking was not tall, but her figure was exquisite.

Especially the iconic smoky makeup, which made Su Meng recognize her at a glance.

This is actually one of the top singers in the European and American music scene, Avril Lavigne!

In this different time and space, this sister is still talented, has swept the Grammys repeatedly, and is a recognized superstar in the European and American music scene.

She actually came to this reception tonight?

On the stage, Ferdinand continued.

"The name of this song is... *[Song Title]*!"

Yes, this time Su Meng brought out one of the classic tracks from his past life, *[Song Title]*!

This song is one of the strongest representative works of the hall-of-fame rock band Queen in his past life.

In his past life, Queen’s live performance, with Freddie Mercury’s bathhouse attire, was a classic among classics.

How strong is this song?

Simply put, it was selected for the Grammy Hall of Fame and was rated as the 330th greatest song in history by *Rolling Stone* magazine.

In 1994, this song was also the theme song for the Lighthouse World Cup and was sung all over the world.

And today, this song will also officially appear in this world!

In the middle of the stage, a vertical microphone had been placed.

Bai Xiao was wearing a simple, neutral-toned black Hanfu dress, looking heroic and sharp.

Among the colorful female stars at the scene, she stood out even more.

She stood in the middle of the stage, under the spotlight, exuding a huge aura.

Making everyone at the scene feel refreshed.

After a moment of silence...

"Thump! Thump! Clap! Thump! Thump! Clap!"

A strong drum beat sounded.

Bai Xiao raised her hands above her head, keeping time with the rhythm of the music.

The strong beat, the neat clapping and stomping in the accompaniment, made everyone unable to help but feel their blood boiling.

Some even subconsciously raised their hands and kept time with Bai Xiao.

After the prelude, Bai Xiao’s voice sounded.

"..."

Not bad, really not bad!

Su Meng nodded approvingly.

This song is a male-vocal song; the singing difficulty is not high, but singing it well is even harder.

In his past life, countless people had covered it, but they were far from the original.

Not to mention covering it with a female voice; that difficulty is exponentially increased.

G.E.M. in his past life had covered it, but the effect... let’s not mention it.

The only version that could barely compete with the original was an advertisement shot by Pepsi... oh no, Pepsi.

It used three major divas of the European and American music scene—Britney, Beyoncé, and Pink.

In the huge colosseum, countless audiences shouted crazily, making people’s adrenaline soar, and it also became a classic advertisement.

And today, Bai Xiao’s performance, compared to the three divas of the past life, was even better.

Especially since she deliberately changed her vocal line.

Using a neutral vocal line, it matched the song perfectly.

Showing the uplifting and shocking nature of the song to the fullest.

Bringing unparalleled shock to the scene!

Most importantly... damn! In this world, this is the original, okay?

In Su Meng’s thoughts, the song had reached the climax.

Bai Xiao’s aura was fully open, and her hands were beating the rhythm forcefully.

The audience at the scene could no longer hold back, and one by one, they followed her rhythm, clapping their hands and stomping their feet crazily.

At this moment, their blood was up; who still cared about their identity as artists?

Even those socialites who seemed dignified couldn't care about their image at all.

One by one, they raised their hands, stomped their feet, and shouted crazily.

Su Meng was not surprised.

After all, European and American women are very enthusiastic.

Even those upper-class women who seem dignified are more... *ahem*... than anyone else at certain times.

*Cough, cough, cough*, I don't know either; it’s all what that loser said.

*Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!*

A certain loser who was typing in front of the computer sneezed several times fiercely.
