Chapter 533

Bai Xiao Ling smiled slightly and said in a soft voice.

"Mr. Su, you're back."

"He's just a brat."

A brat?

Just now, when Bai Xiao Ling communicated with them, she used English, and several suona masters didn't understand a word.

However, they could clearly see the tense, confrontational stance Andrew had taken just now.

Hearing Bai Xiao Ling say this, the several grand masters felt uneasy.

It seems that foreigner should be older than you, right?

How did he become a brat?

"Hello, may I ask if you are Mr. Su? I am Ferdinand."

Seeing Su Meng, Ferdinand's eyes immediately lit up, and he approached with a face full of smiles.

Andrew didn't know the depth of the situation; he had only heard the song "".

But Ferdinand was different.

When he was at the Yinyuexue Academy in the Imperial Capital, Wu Wu Guangren had played many of Su Meng's songs for them.

That miraculous suona playing technique, along with songs like "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" and many others, had long since won him over.

How could he dare to put on airs before Su Meng?

Su Meng smiled and shook hands with him.

"Hello, Mr. Ferdinand, I am Su Meng."

Regarding this old man, Wu Wu Guangren had previously done the groundwork for him.

He teaches in the composition department at Berkeley and is himself an excellent musician.

In the pop music industry of Europe and America, he also holds a certain influence.

Moreover, he holds a position at Universal Records, the world's largest record company.

Last time, "" was able to be released globally simultaneously, thanks largely to his connections.

Su Meng had quite a good impression of this old man.

After all, last time the European and American music scene was stirred up, quite a bit of popularity points were gathered.

This old man... hmm, a good person!

Ferdinand looked extremely excited.

"Hello, Mr. Su, after hearing your work last time, I have always wanted to communicate with you in person."

"Fortunately, Benedict's father died; otherwise, I really wouldn't have found an opportunity."

In his excitement, he didn't even know what he was saying.

Su Meng was also a bit stunned.

Do foreign old men speak this directly?

"Mr. Ferdinand is too polite; I am just an ordinary musician."

Upholding the long-standing modesty of the Dragon Country people, Su Meng also exchanged a few polite words.

But his words made Andrew, standing nearby, furious.

"Do you mean that any random musician wrote a song and crushed the teacher on the Billboard charts?"

"Are you insulting a great composer?"

Su Meng glanced at him and finally understood what Bai Xiao Ling meant when she said he was a brat.

He really is childish!

Ferdinand, however, didn't take it to heart and said with a smile.

"I am very familiar with Wu; you are both very modest like him."

"" is a very great pop song."

"And Ms. Bai's performance was just right, quite perfect."

"I dare say that at next year's Grammy Awards, this song will certainly not be missing."

His words made Andrew, standing nearby, even more dissatisfied.

"Mr. Ferdinand, have you forgotten your new work?"

"I dare say that this rock song, which you are best at, will be the biggest winner at next year's Grammys."

Before Ferdinand could speak, he turned his head and said to Su Meng.

"Mr. Ferdinand's latest single is still sung by me."

"This is the rock song Mr. Ferdinand is best at; it will surely defeat '!'!"

"Oh." Su Meng didn't even lift his eyelids and said indifferently.

If it gets defeated, so be it; what is there to be proud of?

Regarding this Andrew, Ferdinand seemed somewhat helpless and hurriedly said.

"Andrew, we are all musicians; it is enough to exchange ideas."

"Mr. Su, last time I heard one of your suona pieces... is it called suona?"

"The one with many bird calls; regarding the arrangement..."

Bringing up this topic made Su Meng's head ache a bit.

Explaining these Dragon Country songs to foreigners is a very troublesome matter.

Because what is contained in between is not just a matter of performance technique, but also cultural depth.

This kind of thing can't be explained clearly in just a sentence or two.

Helpless, Su Meng quickly cut him off.

"Mr. Ferdinand, I'm sorry; I haven't been doing much music-related work lately."

"I've been busy filming movies recently."

Movies? Ferdinand was stunned, then broke into a broad smile.

"That's perfect then; I'm no stranger to film either. Many Hollywood movies had their scores done by me."

"Even the new rock song I just composed is actually a promotional track for a movie."

Damn! Su Meng was nearly numb.

So you're not going to stop, are you?

Can't you read the room?

Don't you see I have no intention of chatting about music with you?

With this idle time, I'd rather go brag with a few suona masters.

Hearing the two mention this, Andrew's eyes instantly lit up, and he spoke loudly.

"Mr. Ferdinand, since this song has been brought up, how about I perform it live right here?"

His gaze swept over Bai Xiao Ling without any restraint.

"And would the beautiful Ms. Bai Xiao Ling also care to offer her critique?"

Having finished speaking, he didn't wait for anyone to reply, turned around, and walked toward the stage.

Everyone present was a musician, so a stage was naturally not lacking.

Moreover, all kinds of musical instruments were fully available.

During the cocktail party, people would occasionally take the stage to perform a piece, sparking a round of applause.

Watching Andrew's back, Ferdinand was also somewhat helpless.

"Mr. Su, please do not take offense."

"He is merely a spoiled young master."

Seeing Su Meng looked somewhat puzzled, he continued to explain.

"He comes from the Grey family; oh, that is the mastermind behind Paramount Pictures."

"However, his position in the family inheritance line is not high, and his own abilities are limited, so he is not highly regarded."

"Fortunately, he has great talent in music, so the Grey family does not mind giving him a push."

"So... he has become the hottest new music artist in the entire Lighthouse Country."

Damn? So he's actually a second-generation rich kid?
