Chapter 273

They are symphony musicians who claim to be able to play all basic instruments, but that refers to things like the piano and violin.

And yet, you tell me you need a suona, gongs, drums, wooden clappers, and cymbals?

What on earth is this all about?

Wait, aren't you supposed to be going to sing?

What kind of song requires this sort of accompaniment?

A livestream suddenly started on the domestic platform Douyin.

The person starting the stream was none other than the young man from the Philharmonic Orchestra who had just posted the video.

The video he posted had already attracted many netizens.

Quite a few netizens had left comments demanding he start a livestream.

Now that the stream had just begun, tens of thousands of people had already entered, and more were pouring in continuously.

In the livestream room, the young man’s face looked terrible as he gritted his teeth and spoke.

"It’s bad! Su Meng is in trouble!"

Huh? His words left many people stunned.

He continued.

"Just a moment ago, a singer from the Lighthouse Nation questioned Su Meng to his face, even saying that people from the Dragon Kingdom are all liars."

"Many musicians, though they didn't say it outright, are also highly suspicious of Su Meng."

"They’ve forced Su Meng to sing on the spot!"

What? His words instantly filled all the netizens in the livestream with righteous indignation.

"Damn! That’s just how foreigners are; they can never stand to see people from the Dragon Kingdom doing better than them!"

"So he sings, big deal. It’s not like Su Meng doesn't know how to sing."

"Are you stupid, upstairs? Bai Xiao has already pushed the performance to such a level; who could possibly follow that?"

"What are you afraid of? Have you forgotten what Master Su’s signature skill is? Bring out the suona!"

"Exactly, play 'Monkey Play', and scare these foreigners to death!"

"No, no, Su Meng is being forced to sing."

"Yeah, Su Meng’s singing is decent, but compared to his suona skills, it’s still lacking."

"Damn it, these foreigners are all trash. Imperialism will never give up its heart to destroy us!"

The young man looked at the comments and continued.

"That’s not the point right now."

"The most critical thing is that they forced Su Meng onto the stage at the last minute; he has absolutely no preparation!"

"He doesn't even have accompaniment, how is he supposed to sing?"

"Right now, several teachers from our Philharmonic Orchestra are discussing with Su Meng, preparing to provide accompaniment for him."

"I’m taking everyone to see the situation now."

His words made the netizens realize the severity of the problem.

No accompaniment? How can he sing like that? A cappella?

Under normal circumstances, Su Meng’s singing is excellent, and he wouldn't be afraid of a cappella.

But the problem is, this occasion is a bit different.

According to the streamer’s description, the people present are all genuine musicians; how critical are they?

Especially now, when these people are determined to find fault with Su Meng.

Once Su Meng fails to reach a perfect state, he will definitely be trampled!

For a moment, the netizens felt both indignant and helpless.

They could only watch how Su Meng handles it.

The young man held his phone up and walked toward Su Meng.

Just as he reached Su Meng’s side, he saw Su Meng pat Wang Wang Laowu on the shoulder.

"Old Wang, don't worry, having you provide the accompaniment is the most professional choice."

What the hell?

All the netizens in the livestream were bewildered.

Has Su Meng lost his mind?

With so many virtuosos available, he chooses a suona troupe for accompaniment?

Wang Wang Laowu was also on the verge of tears.

"Master Su, we... we are just a suona troupe."

"We don't know those pop songs!"

Su Meng, however, was full of confidence and chuckled.

"Who said I was going to sing a pop song?"

What? Not singing a pop song?

Everyone at the scene and in the livestream was dumbfounded.

Didn't you just say you were going to sing? Why are you saying you aren't now?

If you aren't singing a pop song, then what are you singing?

Could it be opera? That would make this suona troupe even more useless!

Su Meng remained confident.

"Old Wang, Henan Opera accompaniment... do you know how to play it?"

What the hell? Henan Opera?

The scene and the livestream fell into a deathly silence.

In the rehearsal room of the First Henan Opera Troupe of Henan Province, a phone suddenly rang.

The shrill ringtone immediately angered the troupe leader.

"Who is it? Didn't I say that phones are forbidden in the rehearsal room?"

"Whose phone is it? They will be publicly criticized!"

The room was silent for a moment, then someone said weakly.

"Troupe leader, it seems like your phone is ringing..."

My phone? The troupe leader froze instantly.

He hurriedly pulled out his phone, glanced at the screen, and his expression turned serious.

"Hello? Ah? Really? No way?!"

Seeing him like this, the whole room was a bit confused.

Troupe leader, I know the Henan Opera troupe is having a hard time, so are you planning to go do crosstalk?

Putting down the phone, the troupe leader felt a bit dazed.

"The person who just called is Mr. Shenliang Army, the deputy leader of the Third Troupe of the National Peking Opera Academy."

"He told me... he told me..."

What did he say? Damn it, just say it!

The group wished they could drag him over and beat him up.

The troupe leader finally came to his senses, his voice trembling.

"Su Meng... is going to sing Henan Opera!"

What? The rehearsal room was quiet for a moment, then instantly exploded.

"Really? Doesn't that mean our good days are coming?"

"Yeah, last time Su Meng sang that bit of Peking Opera, how many people’s attention did it draw to Peking Opera? Is it finally Henan Opera’s turn this time?"

"Su Meng can sing Henan Opera?"

"Are you stupid? It’s not like he hasn't sung it before; he was the one who made 'Getting Up Early to Pick Manure' go viral!"

"Yeah, that bit was a parody, but he sang it with real skill!"

"Quiet, quiet, quiet!" The troupe leader finally calmed down.

"The most urgent task now is to see which segment Su Meng sings!"
