Chapter 158 "Autumn Whispers"
The second round of auditions.
9:30 am.
There are not many contestants coming, only a few.
He Xiao sat on the chair, glanced at the serial number plate in his hand, and couldn't help but take a deep breath. Obviously, he didn't expect that he would appear so suddenly.
It was not too early to come, but I drew the first serial number.
On the other hand, Carol was ten minutes earlier than him and was the sixteenth place before the show. This is really a blessing.
"Your luck... I really don't know whether it should be better or worse."
Carol was also stunned. Unexpectedly, He Xiao was so lucky that he made a tenth come out.
He Xiao could only smile helplessly at this and turned his eyes to the stage.
At this time, the ninth contestant who appeared on the stage was playing hard. He stood up from the chair and sat down. His palms kept exchanging left and right, and his facial expressions were also exerting force. From time to time, he swayed like a rattle, which was quite intoxicating.
He Xiao has heard of the song he played. It is a very artistic song in their world, and the difficulty coefficient is very high.
At least most people dare not play, just for one point, this number nine player is very brave.
The top 100 opportunities are right in front of him, and he is also unsure and wants to try hard.
After all, it is not easy to survive the first round of auditions, and it is really unwilling to stop the second round of auditions.
He Xiao could understand the contestant's eagerness to advance, but he ignored the difficulty of this song. The second half is the real high energy, and the change of the tune is significantly accelerated. It is a serious disaster area for mistakes during performance. If you are not careful, you will collapse.
Sure enough, when he entered the second half, he immediately felt a little troubled and played three syllables in a row, which was a very fatal mistake in the Isabella Piano Competition.
The three judges looked at each other, shook their heads, and after waiting for the performers to finish, the result of the elimination was announced.
Even if he made a mistake early, waiting for the performer to end the performance is the most basic respect for the performer.
The contestant looked lonely and knew that he was not strong enough. He bowed to the three judges and left the stage helplessly.
"Player No. 10 is here!"
A staff notice next to it.
Carloer touched He Xiao with his shoulder and whispered: "It's you."
"Well, look at me." He Xiao nodded very sunnyly, and even though he watched the previous contestant being eliminated, he still was not panic.
He stood up from his seat, tidied up his clothes and strode confidently to the stage.
In an instant, several cameras were aimed at him, and several judges also frequently looked at him.
They had a deep impression of He Xiao. In the audition seven days ago, He Xiao was the first Chinese contestant to appear. The song "The Streets in the Wind" really surprised many people.
It's hard to remember such an outstanding player.
Just like a fireflies in the dark night, no matter where they are, they are so vivid and outstanding.
Therefore, the audience's eyes were attracted by He Xiao.
The last time he played "The Streets where the Wind Lives", what kind of music should he play this time?
Everyone was full of curiosity, and many reporters also pointed the spears and cannons in their hands at him.
"Player He Xiao, you can start."
The female judge who had a strong interest in China still explained to He Xiao in Chinese as usual this time.
In fact, she can speak English as well. He Xiao is now very good at English and can answer questions in daily conversations. However, the contestants are Chinese, and the judges use Chinese to show respect.
He Xiao had a good impression of the judge's aunt, nodded to her, and bowed slightly to thank her.
Then he turned around gracefully and sat in front of the black piano.
Put your fingers on the strings, take a deep breath, calm down for a second or two, and adjust your final state.
The next moment, fingers pounded, and all kinds of wonderful notes burst out.
This is a very ethereal light music. Just the beginning makes many people's eyes lit up.
I let the Buddha travel back to an autumn full of golden leaves, and I became quiet.
“Another original track?”
The three judges looked at each other, and obviously they didn't hear the origin of this song.
As professionals who have been immersed in the industry for many years, they are simply three human-shaped piano music libraries, walking encyclopedias, and have an understanding of piano music from all over the country.
Even though I dare not say that I can remember the piano scores of the whole world, I know the tune as much as I can.
The work He Xiao performed at this time was full of strangeness just at the beginning. Everyone searched all their memories, but they didn't find any song that could match, so they infer that this was another original song.
"Xiao He is really a genius."
Carol looked at He Xiao who was performing calmly on the stage, and his frigid heart gradually calmed down. Even though she knew that He Xiao had many original piano music in his hand, the stunning feeling when she actually heard it was still unparalleled.
Because there is one thing that others cannot have, that is, no matter how many original songs he released, he can ensure the quality of the business and will not open high and close low.
Although the name of this song is unknown, it is even better than the previous episode of "The Streets of the Wind".
The overall feeling is like traveling through September and October, the comfortable and beautiful autumn.
Golden fallen leaves covered the winding paths of the park, and the door of memory was slowly pushed open, surging like a tide.
The three judges each had a solemn expression and carefully savored the artistic conception in the song. The other waiting contestants in the audience also reacted, and were deeply attracted by the ethereal song, as if they were undergoing a spiritual cleansing.
My heart, which was originally restless and nervous because of the game, gradually calmed down.
Sometimes music is full of such indescribable charm, which can affect people's emotions and even bring back a person with a heart that is ashamed to death.
He Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, his body swung slightly to the melody, and he devoted himself affectionately, his fingertips reversing and jumping on the piano like a gust of wind.
The music reached its climax, and in the rapid tune, everyone's breathing gradually became heavier, as if they saw their struggle with life.
A buzzing wind blew, the fallen leaves danced wildly, rolling up the golden yellow on the ground, and various thoughts also came, circling around the whole person.
“This song…”
A reporter in the audience holding a SLR camera in his hand was stunned, and was deeply attracted by the performer's melody and forgot to press the shutter for a moment.
"He will definitely be a place for the top 100 people!"
Charlie, who met at the last audition, came to the scene at some point. After hearing He Xiao's performance in the audience, he touched his chin and inferred with certainty.
With this song, He Xiao couldn't not advance.
Including three judges, they each wrote and painted on their pens, and their eyes occasionally looked at He Xiao, the complexity was filled with.
This Chinese kid really gives people too many unexpected surprises. This is already the audition stage. What kind of surprise will the world see after entering the Paris Opera Hall?
On stage.
The sound of the piano gradually weakens.
He Xiao's performance is over.
He turned around and gave a gentlemanly greeting to the contestants and reporters who were not too many in the field, then looked at the judges and waited for their verdict.
"What's your piano piece...the name?"
The female judge did not rush to announce the result, but instead asked with a flash of eyes and eagerness.
When He Xiao saw this reaction, he knew that there was a chance to advance. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised and he licked his lips and replied:
Chapter completed!
