Chapter 96

"Next, strike while the iron is hot, go find a few good jobs for Su Meng..."

……

"Teacher Tian, wait!"

Seeing the recording engineer about to leave, Su Meng was also a bit numb.

I mean, is the lethality of my suona technique too great?

"That... Teacher Tian, I couldn't hold back just now, I played too enthusiastically, the infectious power was a bit strong."

"How about I play a bit more restrained for the remaining songs?"

When under the eaves, one has to bow their head.

Liu Huan was loyal enough to lend his recording studio to him to record funeral music.

If he really sent the other person's recording engineer away, would he still be human?

The recording engineer's look at him changed.

Is this a musician?

This is clearly a 'nether-musician', right?

Seeing Su Meng's sincerity and promise to restrain himself, the recording engineer was also a bit conflicted.

Hesitating for a long time, looking at Liu Huan, he finally sighed long.

"Fine, fine, since you've said so, then I'll reluctantly, risking this old life, help you finish recording this album."

"However... you have to pay more!"

？？？？

Many people's heads couldn't help but have a few huge question marks.

Pay more?

So your tears just now... are they that valuable?

……

In the following time, the recording work stumbled into the right track.

Under Su Meng's deliberate control, the previous situation finally didn't happen again.

It's just that the recording engineer would still shout from time to time.

"Don't be so full of emotion, play it a bit worse!"

"Can't you make a mistake occasionally?"

"Off-key! Can't you go off-key, damn it!"

"You have to know, this album of yours isn't aiming for awards, why are you playing so well?"

Everyone at the scene and in the livestream was numb.

I've only heard of people being scolded for doing too poorly, but today I'm being scolded for doing too well?

Everyone's eyes on Su Meng were filled with pity.

Sigh... poor child, sure enough, he's different.

Su Meng was also a bit depressed.

Others are trying to break through their upper limits, but I have to try to break through my lower limits?

Forget it, forget it, then I'll hold back another 30% of my strength.

Otherwise, if this album is released and everyone who listens cries, who can handle that?

Seeing that things were on the right track here, Liu Huan wasn't idle either.

He called over a few vocal teachers who had rushed over to guide Xiao Xiao Xiao Yueyue and the others.

As for himself... damn it, I, the dignified Liu Huan, wanted to teach people to sing, but was disliked!

And it was by a few non-professional singers!

Who would believe this?

Helplessly, he stopped thinking about it and started adjusting his state.

Su Meng's group was recording too fiercely, almost all passing on the first take.

It seems it won't take long to finish recording.

When the time comes, I'll record "Hero Song" first.

Eh?

Why is my mindset now, clearly wanting to sing "Hero Song", but feeling like "Foolish Song"?

……

Finally finished recording all the funeral music.

The recording engineer sighed long and slumped in his chair, his expression extremely complex.

"I've disgraced the recording engineer industry!"

"All recording engineers take pride in recording god-level albums."

"But I actually ruined a god-level album!"

Everyone was sympathetic, and they understood his mood very well.

Su Meng looked at him and suddenly laughed.

"Teacher Tian, don't say that, speaking of which, I have to thank you."

"Thank me?" The recording engineer was bewildered.

I ruined your album, and you're thanking me?

Su Meng said sincerely.

"I have a few friends in a suona troupe, who specialize in funeral work..."

"Master Su said I'm his friend!" The head of the Li Troupe jumped up excitedly.

Wang Wang Laowu glared at him and spat fiercely.

"Do you still want your face?"

"Master Su said specializing in funeral work, he was talking about me!"

On the screen in front of them, Su Meng continued.

"I have a few friends in a suona troupe, who specialize in funeral work..."

"I'm recording this album, actually preparing to release it for free, not expecting to make money, mainly to teach them some music."

"If I record this album too well, then everyone will use my album for funerals, who will still hire those suona troupes?"

"If they can't get work, won't they be unemployed?"

"Teacher Tian, you saved their rice bowls, you are a great man!"

Oh? The recording engineer's eyes lit up instantly, and his back straightened.

I'm a great man? I'm actually this great?

Although I ruined a god-level album, I saved the rice bowls of countless suona troupes!

As expected of me! Too great!

……

"Xiao Ling, you're finally here!"

Seeing Bai Bai Bai Xiaoling, Su Meng's eyes lit up.

Bai Bai Bai Xiaoling didn't speak, but naturally took two dice out of her pocket and threw them.

A five and a six.

Seeing her such practiced movements, Su Meng was stunned.

Has this girl already formed a conditioned reflex?

But clearly her luck hadn't reached its peak today, so she'd have to wait a few more days.

"Teacher Su, are we recording 'Mountain and River Map' today?"

Su Meng nodded and pointed to Liu Huan, who was singing selflessly in the recording booth.

"Brother Huan is recording 'Hero Song' now, looking at this progress, two more takes will be enough."

"Since we have time today, let's record 'Mountain and River Map'."

"'Mountain and River Map'?" Hearing this name, Deng Deng Deng Ziqi's ears instantly perked up.

She rushed over and stared curiously at Bai Bai Bai Xiaoling.

"Isn't this Bai Bai Bai Xiaoling?" ===== CHAPTER 207 =====

"Su Meng, you said my singing skills weren't good enough for the female part of 'Mountain and River Map', so you found her?"

"Her singing skills... are stronger than mine?"

She had seen Bai Bai Bai Xiaoling before and knew she was a student in the folk music department of the Imperial Conservatory of Music, but... singing skills?

Su Meng nodded and said indifferently.

"Yes, her singing skills are stronger than yours, she is the most suitable to sing 'Mountain and River Map'."

Pfft~~~ Deng Deng Deng Ziqi almost sprayed a mouthful of old blood.

I am a powerful singer in the Chinese music scene, and now you tell me a non-professional singer, or a student, is stronger than me?

Are you kidding me?

Bai Bai Bai Xiaoling smiled and said politely.

"Teacher Su is being polite, Teacher Deng is a well-known singer, how could I possibly be better?"

"However, the style of this song just doesn't fit Teacher Deng's path."

She spoke politely, but Deng Deng Deng Ziqi didn't believe it at all.

This is Su Meng's first single officially released, if it wasn't suitable, would he find you?

Could it be that in Su Meng's mind, I'm actually not the best singer?

Unknowingly, a sense of crisis rose in Deng Deng Deng Ziqi's heart.

The way she looked at Bai Bai Bai Xiaoling also had a few more scrutinizing looks.

Hmm... seems better looking than me.

Hmm... seems taller than me.

Hmm... seems to have thinner legs than me.

Hmm... seems younger than me?

I knew it, I'm definitely not the worst!

Eh? What am I proud of?

……

In the livestream, the bullet comments suddenly increased.

"'Mountain and River Map'? Is Su Meng finally going to record 'Mountain and River Map'?"

"

…… Waited for a long time and finally waited for today, waited for a long time and finally realized the dream, eh? These two sentences seem like lyrics."

"Who is this? Su Meng didn't say he was looking for a strong female singer? Who is this?"

"Even Deng Deng Deng Ziqi's singing skills aren't in Su Meng's eyes, then who is this? Are her singing skills very strong?"

"No matter who she is, but... she's really good-looking, and has such temperament!"

"I just want to say, if Su Meng's fans form a fan group, what will it be called?"

"Wait a bit, see if this song of Su Meng's is worth being a fan of."

"Yes, after all, finding an unknown female singer, this quality... is not easy to guarantee."

……

Although influenced by the "Mourning Hall Incident", Liu Huan is a professional singer after all, and quickly adjusted his state.

He had prepared very sufficiently for this "Hero Song".

Only recorded three takes, and the recording engineer gave a thumbs up, praising it with clicks.

"The boss's singing skills are truly strong!"

"If the people who come here to record songs were all at this level, my workload would be reduced by at least half."

Su Meng smiled and joked.

"Teacher Tian, if that were the case, wouldn't your salary have to be reduced by half too?"

The recording engineer glared at him and snorted coldly.

"Don't talk about others for now, isn't it your turn to record?"

"You are a master at playing the suona, but singing might not be the same, but it's a good thing for me."

"If you don't sing well, I can righteously ask the boss for a raise!"

Su Meng smiled, didn't speak, and pulled Bai Bai Bai Xiaoling into the recording room.

Deng Deng Deng Ziqi's eyes rolled, and she grabbed the headphones and put them on.

I want to see how this non-professional singer you found really is!

Liu Huan saw this scene, and instead of stopping her, a hint of pride appeared on his face.

Bai Bai Bai Xiaoling is my student!

What? You say she's from the folk music department? That's not important!

……

The music started.

Bai Bai Bai Xiaoling's high-pitched voice rang out.

"Oh~~~ oh oh hehe yi ya~~~~"

Hearing this voice, Deng Deng Deng Ziqi's eyes widened.

This voice, full of texture, is simply heavenly!

Although it was just a chant, it instantly pushed the momentum of the whole song up, and the feeling of grandeur rushed toward her.

Amidst the chanting, Su Meng's voice rang out.

"Look at these mountains, ten thousand ravines and rocks connecting one river after another."

"317 let this river, stars running and rivers rushing, forming one bay after another..."

Although Deng Deng Deng Ziqi had heard this segment live, that was only a cappella.

Now that the music was added, it seemed Su Meng's rap instantly elevated another level.

Even Deng Deng Deng Ziqi was shocked, is this really that unreliable Su Meng?

During the rap, Bai Bai Bai Xiaoling's chanting would ring out from time to time, the two complementing each other, expressing the grandeur to the fullest.

"…… to the southernmost side, blue sea and sky, dragons soaring out of the sea with waves towering!"

Finally, Su Meng ended this rap, and Bai Bai Bai Xiaoling's singing rang out.

"Wielding the brush to paint my mountains and rivers, the sword's edge painting this majesty!"

"The surging river walks the brush like a dragon and snake, my painting of my Dragon Country is unwavering~~~~~"

"Clap!" Deng Deng Deng Ziqi took off the headphones fiercely, her face full of disbelief.

Liu Huan saw her expression, and felt extremely comfortable in his heart, pretending to be calm.

"Bai Bai Bai Xiaoling is my student, not mature enough yet."

"Deng Deng Ziqi, what do you think?"

Deng Deng Deng Ziqi was still a bit dazed, and nodded subconsciously.

"Strong! Too strong!"

"Integrating folk singing and pop singing, but not appearing abrupt at all."

"The voice is high-pitched, the breath is broad, the power is sufficient, the penetration is extremely strong, the timbre is bright and full, the momentum is like a rainbow... no!"

Deng Deng Deng Ziqi jumped up fiercely, her face full of disbelief.

"With such strong singing skills, Su Meng didn't feel suppressed at all?"

"The two are evenly matched, complementing each other, it can be called perfect!"

"Su Meng's singing skills... are actually this strong?"

When she said the latter part, her face was full of disbelief.

Although Bai Bai Bai Xiaoling's singing skills are strong, she is from the Imperial Conservatory of Music, so it's barely understandable.

Then what about Su Meng? Isn't he a poker-faced CEO?

Damn, with such strong singing skills, he'd rather be scolded in the film and television circle than come to the music scene to be king?

What kind of brain circuit is this?

Is he a masochist?

"No!" Deng Deng Deng Ziqi's expression changed instantly, and she was about to cry.

"I originally planned to rely on this song to hit the top of the download chart, now looking at it... I can only fight for second place?"
