Chapter 552
"For such a true artist, we should maintain sufficient respect!"
"Mr. Andrew, apologize to Mr. Su Meng immediately!"
His words came from the heart.
After all, when he was at Yinyuexue Academy in the Imperial Capital, he had already heard many of Su Meng's works and was deeply won over long ago.
But hearing his words, others only felt it poured oil on the fire.
What did he mean by most famous and most skilled?
What did he mean by a god-like existence?
What did he mean by a true artist?
Before us, who deserves such a title?
It seems Benedict, to calm the scene, has already spoken without thinking!
For a moment, the entire scene erupted in murmurs.
Many people's gazes at Su Meng grew even more like looking at a fraud.
"Heh~~~"
Su Meng was not surprised, merely letting out a light laugh.
"Bai Xiao Ling, hand me the erhu!"
"Okay!" Bai Xiao Ling's eyes lit up, and she quickly stood up to hand over the erhu.
Su Meng plucked the strings a few times and said faintly into the microphone.
"Let me introduce it to everyone."
"The instrument in my hand is called the erhu!"
"Originating in the Tang Dynasty of the Dragon Kingdom, it has a history of over a thousand years."
"The history of this erhu is much longer than the history of many nations!"
"Since you all have doubts about me."
"Then today, I will perform a piece with this erhu!"
"And I ask all you distinguished world-class musicians for your guidance!"
After a few sarcastic remarks, he sat down again.
Seeing Su Meng truly pick up the instrument and prepare to play, the scene suddenly fell silent.
Many people also perked up.
As for singing... well, you call it opera, I admit you are not bad.
But playing an instrument?
Hehe, do you know how many instrumentalists are here?
An unknown instrument dares to show off in front of us?
Just wait, once you finish playing, see how we trample you!
A Dragon Kingdom person still wants to ride on our heads?
In the live stream, countless Dragon Kingdom netizens were already furious.
"Damn! These foreigners just can't stand others being better than them!"
"Is it that hard to admit others are excellent?"
"Hehehe, these are the world-famous musicians..."
"Master Su is truly angry this time; he has picked up the erhu!"
"The Jiaozhu Society is mighty! The Jiaozhu Society has picked up the erhu, high energy ahead!"
"Everyone guess what piece the Jiaozhu Society will play this time?"
"Let me think, the Jiaozhu Society's erhu has produced 'Song of the Neurotic', 'Grapes Are Ripe', 'Joyful Yang'... what else?"
"Didn't the person upstairs forget 'Horse Racing'? Although not played by the Jiaozhu Society personally, it is a composition by him."
"Looking at it this way, should 'Song of the Neurotic' be played for this scene?"
"Possible, these foreigners are just a bunch of neurotics!"
"Huh? What is the Jiaozhu Society staring at? Why hasn't he started playing yet?"
Yes, on the stage now, Su Meng fell into deep thought.
Holding the erhu in his hand, he still did not start playing.
Many people below suddenly had an incredible thought.
Could he be... putting on an act?
No, since he dared to bring out this instrument, it means he definitely knows how.
But can this instrument of yours reach the level that moved us to tears just now?
If not, then what are you so proud of?
Thinking of this, the commotion in the scene grew even louder.
Only Wu Wu Guangren and a few musicians from the Dragon Kingdom wore expressions of worry.
Kid, at this critical moment, don't you dare drop the ball!
On the stage, the Wang Family Troupe all wore looks of confusion, not knowing what trick Su Meng was up to.
Bai Xiao Ling thought for a moment, then said softly.
"Teacher Su, are you hesitating over which piece to play?"
"That's right." Su Meng nodded, not hiding it from her.
"The several erhu pieces I've already published are all cheerful and festive."
"But given the situation now, they still want me to get them hyped? Dream on!"
Wang Laowu cut in.
"Master Su, surely you have other pieces, right? There must be one that fits."
"There are, yes." Su Meng nodded, a troubled look on his face.
"The problem is there are too many pieces — for the moment I can't decide which one to pick."
The few Masters of the Wang family troupe instantly did not feel good.
Showing off — you must be showing off, right?
Su Meng shook his head, then added.
"And the debut of a new piece, right in front of a bunch of foreigners — I just feel uncomfortable about it."
"So I'm a bit torn."
Bai Xiao Ling lowered her head in thought, then her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Teacher Su, if that's the case, then I do have an idea."
"How about we…"
Hearing her words, the looks in the suona Masters' eyes instantly changed.
You look so sweet and well-behaved — who'd have thought you could be so quietly wicked?
Who on earth did you learn this from? Sichuan.
