Chapter 164: Entering the Paris Opera
Walking out of the manor in the western suburbs of Paris, He Xiao and Shi Dazhui glanced at each other, both crying and laughing at this banquet.
Shi Dazhui touched his head and complained: "Brother Xiao, do you think there is something wrong with this Martin? ”
"Hey, this kind of rich second generation, it's a psychological distortion. He Xiao waved his hand, and pulled the car door as he spoke: "Let's go eat first, I was thinking about coming here to have a mixed meal, but I can't do it like this." ”
Touching his empty stomach, He Xiao was a little helpless on his face.
He thought it was some kind of more formal banquet in the circle, just like the kind that Lin Yunkai took him to attend last time.
didn't expect that it was a carnival held by a group of rich second generations and female celebrities that was no less than a Haitian feast, and He Xiao really couldn't fit into this kind of extravagant party.
Coupled with Martin's temperamental personality, He Xiao couldn't stay for long.
If you don't withdraw early, you may fall into it.
After all, this is someone else's territory, and if you really want to fight, He Xiao has no chance of winning at all.
The black car gradually drove out of the villas in the western suburbs and disappeared into the traffic to the city of Paris.
……
Early the next morning.
He Xiao stretched and sat up from the bed.
He touched his phone and glanced at Twitter, the previous news of the Sun newspaper was no longer visible on the homepage, and it had updated some gossip news from other celebrities in the past two days.
However, this does not mean that He Xiao's matter has subsided, because in this week's magazine, He Xiao's deeds were published.
The Chinese and the Isabella Cup are the two keywords that make this issue of the magazine sell surprisingly well.
Of course, while He Xiao became famous, there were more and more hostility invisibly, and almost most of the contestants knew that there was a fierce man from China in the East Division.
Among them, there are some powerful contestants who are eager to try and shout on Twitter that they should educate He Xiao in the top 100 competition, so that the contestants from the East can feel what "despair" is.
He Xiao could only shake his head and smile at this, his current situation was completely low-key, and he wanted to fish in troubled waters, but it backfired.
It's like this in a lot of things, the more you don't want something, the more you want it.
But He Xiao is not afraid, his current piano level is enough to support any difficult piano song in the black phone, as long as the jury can maintain absolute fairness and justice, there is no reason for him to lose.
……
Noon on the same day.
Charles de Lego Airport in Paris.
He Xiao and Bao Yuanyuan and others came to see off the plane.
Huang Jun and the rest of the crew are preparing to return to China today, and all the MVs that need to be filmed in Paris have been filmed, so there is no need for them to stay.
After returning to China, in addition to saving a lot of expenses, the post-editing of the MV can also be on the right track in advance, and when the game on He Xiao's side ends, the MV will be released with this popularity.
In other words, the entire planning process has now been determined.
The only thing He Xiao needs to deal with at the moment is this Isabella Piano Competition.
"Xiao He, then we will go back to China first and wait for your good news. ”
On the rest seat in the airport hall, Huang Jun looked down at his watch, and saw that it was almost time to board the plane, so he patted He Xiao's shoulder and said, with some reluctance in his tone.
After all, after working together for two or three months, I have been crawling all the way from China to abroad, and it is inevitable that this will be the case emotionally.
He Xiao also felt a lot of emotion in his heart, held Huang Jun's arm and said: "Brother Huang, thank you for taking care of me for more than two months, and I will often contact you after returning to China, and when I finish dealing with the game here, I will go back to you for a drink or two." ”
"Haha, just have your words. Huang Jun had a smile on his face, bared a row of big white teeth, and after greeting He Xiao for a while, he disappeared at the security checkpoint under the eyes of the other party.
"Everyone has returned to China, so we still have to survive. ”
He Xiao patted Shi Dazhui on the shoulder, turned around and walked outside the airport with a smile.
He didn't have much to do in the afternoon, only one thing, which was to practice the piano.
Grinding guns in battle, not fast and light.
Even if you are very familiar with the piano, you still can't relax, just like the final exam, the same question type, even if you can do it, you have to practice it repeatedly.
Time flies by quickly.
In a blink of an eye, it is the day when the top 100 competition officially begins.
is different from the obscure audition stage, in the days leading up to the live broadcast, both the Internet and TV stations have started an overwhelming propaganda offensive.
Even the government of Paris helped to spread the word in the streets of the city.
After all, Isabella's fame is too great, as a celebrity comparable to Chopin in piano history, she is a symbol of Paris, a name that cannot be bypassed when it comes to the city.
Therefore, the French official also attaches great importance to this, and not only strongly supports each competition, but also takes the initiative to invest in publicity and make efforts to beautify the image of Paris in the world.
At the same time, with the addition of the official competition, the Isabella International Piano Competition has quickly become the focus of the world, just like the quadrennial World Cup, netizens around the world are talking about it.
The information reports about the Isabella Cup on major websites are endless, and the players from various countries have been pushed to the forefront for a while.
Although the piano competition is a niche and cannot be compared with the popularity of football competitions, when it comes to the literary and artistic world, the Isabella Cup is definitely the highlight worth looking forward to.
He Xiao has also learned a lot of information about other contestants through reports on major websites in the past few days.
Both the North Division and the South Division have their own fierce people, and there are several original players like him, who have advanced all the way through by relying on their own piano music.
The Western Division is a little different, perhaps because of Martin, the second young master of the Kroll family, all the reports are about him alone, and the light of the other players is directly covered.
As for the East Division, He Xiao doesn't need to understand, he himself is from the East Division, and he is also the most eye-catching player in the East Division so far, followed by the veteran Principal Charlie, who has participated in the Isabella Cup three times in a row, and Carol, a little star who wants to be gilded.
"Ho...... Teacher He, water!"
In front of the Paris Opera House, Bao Yuanyuan ran over panting, holding a cup of steaming boiling water in his small hand and handed it to He Xiao.
"Thank you, Yuanyuan. ”
He Xiao took the glass of water and thanked him, then leaned on the car door and took a sip in his mouth slowly, waiting for the theater to open.
Tomorrow is the day when the top 100 competition officially starts live broadcasting, and they rushed over in advance today to understand the live situation, after all, it is a big competition to be broadcast live around the world, and they can't be too blind.
Due to the recent competition, the Paris Opera House has been completely closed, and the internal commissioning and installation of live broadcast equipment is not open to visitors.
Today is the day before the recording of the competition, and the organizers have taken into account that some of the contestants are coming to Paris for the first time and do not know the inner structure of the opera house, so they deliberately opened one day in advance, and only the top 100 contestants can visit.
He Xiao came to learn about the live broadcast in advance, and by the way, he also visited this famous French opera house in Europe.
At more than ten o'clock in the morning, the entrance of the Paris Opera House was opened, and He Xiao wore a mask, followed behind Shi Dazhu, and walked into the courtyard together.
