Chapter 185: Return to Paris
The suddenness of this hot search caught He Xiao's team off guard.
Even He Xiao himself didn't expect that his return to China would cause misunderstandings among netizens.
Thinking about it, during the competition, no runners will run to their own country, which also makes the audience have a misunderstanding.
I thought that those who returned to China must be "losers who fled from the wilderness".
So as soon as He Xiao appeared, it directly set off an uproar, and many fans were heartbroken.
"I still don't believe that Xiao Ye will be eliminated. ”
"Master is so talented, how can this be?"
"Well, now you don't have to guess with redface and panda. ”
"But it's also great that Xiao Ye can reach the top 64. ”
"Yes, this is the biggest piano competition in the world, and the best pianists from all over the world gather on it. ”
"Throughout the 100-year history of the Isabella Cup, there are no more than 15 Chinese players who can enter the top 64!"
Netizens comforted each other and hugged each other to keep warm.
"Teacher He, do we need to clarify?"
The little assistant Bao Yuanyuan saw He Xiao's frowns, and couldn't help asking.
After He Xiao pondered for a while, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, don't worry about it." ”
Since everyone thinks that he has been eliminated, it may not be a good thing, otherwise he will always put his red face with him, and the risk of his identity being exposed is very high.
In this way, it is natural to stop thinking about He Xiao when he says that he is red-faced.
The spread of news in China is slow, and on the third day of He Xiao's return to China, when the advertising endorsement has come to an end, the photos of him appearing in China only appeared on the Internet.
Anglo-Chinese News Agency, The Sun and many other foreign media reprinted the article as soon as possible.
Several newspapers have directly exceeded 60 million views on Twitter, and the number of comments is as high as 100,000.
As an extremely high player on the official website rankings, He Xiao's popularity has always been very high, and the remarks about what kind of mask he is have always been high.
At present, the vast majority of netizens think that the panda is He Xiao, but as soon as the news came out, everyone's speculation all came to naught, and He Xiao was not only not a panda, but also unexpectedly out.
This made He Xiao's fans on the Internet lose their souls in an instant.
How so?
The player who played a genius track like "The-truth-that-you-leave" should be the favorite to win the championship, how could he be eliminated?
Many fans couldn't accept it for a while, and expressed their opinions on social networking sites, which made He Xiao's popularity rise a lot again.
This rise in popularity makes people not happy at all, which is like the return of a dying person, which is not worth being happy about.
Unlike He Xiao's fans, many of the top 32 contestants are already happy.
He Xiao, who ranked fourth in the top 100, is out!
This is undoubtedly good news.
It means that there is one less competitor.
It's just that with He Xiao's out, the identity of the red face has become a complete mystery.
Because after the end of the round of 64 to the top 32, the ranking on the official website was refreshed again, this time it was no longer the arrangement of real names, but according to the code names of the players.
Redface and Unicorn are at the top of the list, with a super high score of 95 points, taking the joint first place.
followed by well-known names such as clowns and pandas, occupying the top five positions on the list.
No matter what kind of list, the top few are always hot topics, especially the first place, which is the most important.
This time the official website was updated, and Redface and Unicorn won the first position, and the attention was unprecedentedly high.
"He Xiao is already out, and the red face is not him. ”
In the western suburbs of Paris, Martin is wearing a dressing gown, playing with a clown toy in his hand, and a cynical smile appears on his slightly morbid face.
"I thought this guy had a lot of ability, but it turned out to be a waste of wood. ”
He looked evil, stared at the mountains in the distance outside the window, and said lightly.
Behind him, a white middle-aged man who looked like a butler bowed his head slightly, and presented a document with both hands: "Young Master, among the contestants ranked tenth to twentieth on the official website, eight of them agreed to our request. ”
"Hmm...... What's the matter with the remaining two? Isn't the price enough?" Martin turned around, and then showed a sneer: "I don't believe that there are people in this world who are not interested in money, even if you increase the price, these two must be bought!"
"This ...... All right. The butler looked like he wanted to say something, but when he saw Martin's sharp gaze, he could only nod helplessly.
Although Martin is very strong, he is also ambitious, and the goal of the championship must be completed no matter what, so the safest way is to buy people's hearts.
If you can't buy the judges, then buy the opponents.
And the risk of buying opponents is much smaller than buying judges, after all, there are ten judges, and it is impossible to buy them all, but only one is of little use.
If too much is bought, if one of them fails to keep his mouth and leaks the news, it will not only have a major impact on the reputation of the Isabella Cup, but Martin will also be chased back to the championship.
This is unacceptable to Martin.
Therefore, compared with the more difficult and risky bribing judges, Martin finally chose to buy his opponent, after all, the opponent is easier to control, and the strength of the Kroll family in private is enough to deter these people.
But there are also shortcomings, because Martin really wants to prove himself by success, he actually wants to buy all the opponents who have strength and threat, which is undoubtedly undesirable in the eyes of the housekeeper, and it is really difficult to control the dozen people.
In addition, both parties are anonymous transactions, and the other party knows that the person who bought him is a clown, but the clown does not know the identity of the other party, which adds another layer of insecurity.
For various reasons, the housekeeper wanted to stop talking several times.
But Martin grew up in an environment of long-term lack of love, and he has long been psychologically distorted, he wants to prove himself to the world too much, and he is afraid of being looked down upon by others, so he does not listen to dissuasion at all, and only wants to succeed.
Everyone has their own values, in their own values to judge the right and wrong of a thing, delusional change of other people's minds is extremely undesirable, the butler is obviously a smart person, so he did not force Martin to change, to make the other party unhappy.
After the butler withdrew, Martin's fingers swiped over the top five avatars on the official website, and his face gradually distorted, indescribably gloomy and terrifying.
Meanwhile.
Huaguo.
He Xiao has completed all the advertising shoots and booked a ticket back to Paris.
He didn't know about Martin's small movements, he knew and didn't care, it was a sign of lack of confidence, and there were risks.
Even if there is only a 1% chance, once you do, it is 100%!
