Time: 17:57.

Location: Lobby, 1st floor, Warsaw Philharmonic Hall.

Noisy hall full of people.

Media reporters, music fans and spectators, there was a lot of noise.

The seeds of the crowd are naturally indispensable to the players.

Some players are being interviewed by reporters, and some players are waiting quietly.

Some players are chatting with each other, or praying for each other's blessings, as if they are saying goodbye.

Some players didn't come at all.

Five minutes later, the results of the second round will be announced.

Everyone in the room knew that in ten minutes, half of the 40 players on the big screen would be grayed out.

Time went faster and faster second by second, and a sense of anxiety gradually enveloped the lobby.

"It's coming!"

There was an exclamation from the crowd.

Everyone looked in the direction of the staircase on the second floor, and Brancano, accompanied by an interpreter, appeared at the top of the staircase, with Paconro and two notaries.

The hall enters quiet.

'Click'

'Click'

The sound of the camera is endless.

Branhano walked to the wheat rack in front of the crowd with a blank face.

He grabbed Mike and began to read out his pre-remarks.

In the quiet hall, his words were clearly heard in every corner.

I don't know why Qin Jian looked at his face and had a bad premonition, compared to the first round of announcements, Branhano's opening tone today was too cold.

There are not a few people who found this on the spot.

Although Branhano has always been known for his unsmiling in front of the stage media, the scene of the announcement of the results of the competition in front of a dozen cameras at the moment feels a little inappropriate.

Fortunately, the female translator's expression is not bad.

"The announcement of the second round of finalists begins. ”

Branhano paused, motioned to the interpreter next to him, and then held up the list in his hand.

This move touched the hearts of everyone at the scene.

Moment.

"Natsuki Aso, the No. 01 contestant, is from Japan. ”

"No. 03 Tukas Belis, from the Netherlands. ”

"No. 07 Michelle Carlosia from Canada. ”

"No. 09 Ivan Sergey Ivanov, from Russia. ”

"No. 12 Richelle Dora, from the United States. ”

Compared with the scene announced in the first round, the scene did not fluctuate much after every name sounded in this round.

Then.

"The No. 13 election method Ran, from Huaguo. ”

Hearing the 13th, Qin Jian exhaled calmly.

Duan Ran on the side couldn't see much joy, and she was still holding Qin Jian's hand tightly.

"No. 15 Simon Edmundo from Poland. ”

At this time, the movement of the scene was a little bigger, and the cameras of Polish reporters did not forget to give a few close-ups of Edmunddo in a corner.

Edmundo looked calm.

"No. 20 Mekual Oys, from Morocco. ”

The black guy bared his white teeth again.

"Jacqueline Ficarlo, number 23, from Brazil. ”

"No. 24 player Fang Zongyao, from Huaguo"

Xiao Lori and Fang Zongyao both advanced, and Huayun Six Little only fell one more.

Zhao Yinuo patted Feng Ziyan gently, her soft eyes were full of encouragement, Feng Ziyan sighed, and nodded unwillingly.

The two continued to look at the big screen.

One by one, the numbers on the screen dimmed.

There are fewer and fewer names lit up.

Then No. 29 Russian female player Ksenia, No. 37 Singapore Li Xianlong, and No. 38 Chinese Liang Kecheng joined hands to advance.

"No. 40 Roman Martinov from Macedonia. ”

"No. 42 player Ido Mufawaq is from Syria. ”

Old Arthurd lost his mind when he heard this.

His clenched fists loosened and clenched, and finally he closed his eyes affectionately and solemnly, 'Thank Allah

He's been suffering enough in the last two days.

Ido's promotion gave him even more confidence in the next round, and after the previous round, he went back and warned Ido not to finish playing again if he could go on stage again.

Now Ido can come to power again.

"Ronald Nurgadi, number 46, from Ireland. ”

As the name of the No. 46 player was announced, the atmosphere at the scene became more and more tense.

The crowd finally stirred up uneasily.

At this point, only the last four of the twenty qualifiers remained, and there were still 23 players waiting after that.

At the bottom of the stairs, most of the contestants had given up, and they knew who else was behind them.

And some players are still staring at Branjano.

"Piot Resard Pollack No. 52 is from Sweden.

“oh！！”

The Swedish boy screamed excitedly, he didn't control his emotions.

But no one would pay attention to him in this atmosphere.

There are still three promotion spots left.

"No. 57 player Huaguo Qin Jian is from Huaguo. ”

Tang Feng's lens gave Qin Jian at this moment, he had a hunch that he would definitely hear No. 57, and he was already ready.

Qin Jian was unaware of this, and he looked at the stairs on the second floor with a calm face.

Only the unknown index finger of his right hand was moving, and the palm of Duan Ran, who was scratching, was itching.

Xiao Chubby Duan snickered brightly under the camera not far away.

...

There are two promotion spots left.

Everyone's attention involuntarily focused on the two players.

No. 66 Adams and No. 70 Fred.

The two are both popular figures in this competition.

There are even people who have determined the last three promotion spots a few seconds ago, which are 'Qin Jian', 'Adams' and 'Fred'.

Qin Jian has been announced.

Adams was still holding her assistant, smiling calmly.

Fred, on the other side, just shrugged his shoulders in the face of the eyes around him, as if to tell others that he was at ease.

"No. 66 Adams Joda, from Austria. ”

The script fits most people's guesses.

The hall was falling apart, and the people knew what was going on, and they just had to wait for Branhano to pronounce the number 70.

"No. 69 Margaret Yelmaeva is from Poland. ”

Branhano clearly pronounced No. 69, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense!

No one thought that the name of No. 69 would appear at this moment, and Qin Jian instantly remembered the female player in the competition the day before yesterday.

Fred's expression has changed dramatically!

However, at this moment, the panic scene did not interrupt Branjano.

Fred Zmeiermann, number 70, from Germany. ”

Moment.

"21 finalists!"

It was an old Warsaw citizen who shouted it, and his tone was excited, and he remembered that the last time it happened was 25 years ago at the twelfth edition of the competition.

He found it exciting.

Fred was in the sky and on the ground for a moment, and his back was soaked.

All the excited, questioning, puzzled, answer-seeking eyes of the scene were focused on Branhano's face.

Branhano swept through the crowd, and he really wanted to give all the players and the media an explanation.

"After the jury voted and decided, the sixth jury order of the jury was used in this round, and the number of promotion places was increased to 21. ”

The voice fell.

The whole hall exploded.
