Chapter 158: Autumn Whispers
The scene of the second round of auditions.
Half past nine in the morning.
There weren't many players, only a few of them.
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 it to be so sudden, and he would appear next.
It didn't come early, but it drew the first serial number.
Carol, on the other hand, arrived ten minutes earlier than him, and was still the sixteenth, which is really tricky.
"You're lucky...... I really don't know whether to say good or bad. ”
Carol was also stunned, but she didn't expect He Xiao's luck to be so powerful, and she directly made a number ten.
He Xiao could only smile helplessly, and turned his eyes to the stage.
On the stage at this time, the ninth player was playing hard, and the whole person would stand up from the chair and sit down for a while, the two palms kept exchanging left and right, and the facial expression was also vigorous, shaking a few times like a rattle from time to time, quite intoxicated.
He Xiao has heard this piece he played, it is a very artistic song in their world, and the difficulty coefficient is very high.
At least ordinary people don't dare to play, just rush a little, and this No. 9 player has commendable courage.
The opportunity to be one of the top 100 is in front of him, and he also has no score in his heart and wants to fight hard.
After all, it is not easy to survive the first round of auditions, and it is really unwillingly unsatisfactory to stop the second round of auditions.
He Xiao can understand the player's eagerness to advance, but he ignores the difficulty of this piece, the second half is the real high energy, the change of tune is obviously accelerated, and it is the hardest hit area of mistakes when playing, and if you are not careful, it will collapse all over the game.
Sure enough, when entering the second half, he immediately seemed to struggle a little, playing three syllables wrong 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 waited until the performers were over, announcing the results of the elimination.
Even if he makes a mistake early, waiting for the performer to finish the performance is the most basic respect for the performer.
The contestant looked lonely, and he also knew that his strength was not good, so he bowed to the three judges and left the stage helplessly.
"Now let's invite the tenth player to play!"
A staff member next to him announced.
Carol touched He Xiao with her shoulder and whispered, "It's your turn." ”
"Well, look at me. He Xiao nodded very brightly, even if he watched the last contestant being eliminated, he still did not panic.
Rising from his seat, he straightened his clothes and strode confidently to the stage.
Suddenly, several cameras were pointed at him, and several judges also frequently cast their eyes.
They were too impressed by He Xiao, seven days ago in the audition, He Xiao was the first Chinese player to appear, and the song "The Street Where the Wind Lives" really amazed many people.
It's too hard to remember such an outstanding player.
It's like a firefly in the dark night, no matter where it is, it's so vivid and outstanding.
Therefore, the eyes of the audience were attracted by He Xiao.
The last time he played "The Street Where the Wind Lives", what kind of tune should he play this time?
Everyone was full of curiosity, and many reporters also aimed their long guns and short guns at him.
"He Xiao, you can start. ”
The female judge, who has a strong interest in China, explained to He Xiao in Chinese this time as before.
In fact, she can speak English, He Xiao is now at a very high level of English, and she can answer questions fluently in daily conversations, but the contestants are Chinese, and the judges use Chinese to show respect.
He Xiao had a good impression of this judge's aunt, nodded to her, and bowed slightly to thank her.
Then the whole person turned around gracefully and sat down in front of the black piano.
Ten fingers rested on the strings, took a deep breath, and was silent for a second or two, adjusting to the final state.
The next moment, the fingers jumped, and all kinds of beautiful notes burst out.
This is a very ethereal light music, just a beginning, which has made many people's eyes shine.
It was as if I had traveled back to an autumn full of golden leaves, and the whole person was quiet.
"Another original track?"
The three judges glanced at each other, apparently not hearing the origin of this song.
As professionals who have been immersed in the industry for many years, they are simply a library of piano music in three human shapes, a walking encyclopedia, and an understanding of piano music all over the country.
Even if I don't dare to say that I can remember 100% of the world's musical scores, I know the tune well.
The work He Xiao performed at this time was full of strangeness just at the beginning, and everyone searched all over the memory, but they didn't find any tune that could be right, so they deduced that this was another original song.
"Xiao He Ke is really a genius. ”
Carol looked at He Xiao who was performing calmly on the stage, and her frizzy heart gradually quieted down, even though she knew that He Xiao had a lot of original piano music in her hand, but when she actually heard it, the sense of amazement was still incomprehensible.
Because He Xiao has one thing that others can't have, that is, no matter how many original tracks are released, he can ensure the quality, and there will be no situation of opening high and going low.
Although I don't know the name of this song, it is as good as the "Street Where the Wind Lives" performed in the previous episode.
The overall feeling is as if you have traveled to September and October, that comfortable and beautiful autumn.
The golden leaves paved the winding paths of the park, and the door of memory was slowly pushed open, surging like a tide.
The three judges each looked solemn, savoring the artistic conception in the song, and the other contestants in the audience also reacted, all deeply attracted by the ethereal song, as if they were carrying out a spiritual cleansing.
The restless and nervous heart that was originally due to the game gradually calmed down.
Sometimes music is full of such indescribable charm that can affect people's emotions and even bring a person back to life.
He Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, his body swayed slightly with the melody, and he was deeply involved in it, and his fingertips were like a gust of wind, jumping on the piano in reverse.
The music reached its climax, and in the rapid tune, everyone's breathing gradually became heavier, as if they saw their own struggle for life.
A noisy wind blew, the fallen leaves danced wildly, rolling up the golden yellow on the ground, and all kinds of thoughts also hit, revolving around the whole person.
"This tune ......"
A reporter in the audience with a DSLR camera in his hand was stunned, but he was also deeply attracted by the performer's melody, and forgot to press the shutter for a while.
"The top 100 compete for hegemony, and he must have a place!"
Charlie, who met in the last audition, didn't know when he also came to the scene, and after hearing He Xiao's performance in the audience, he touched his chin and deduced affirmatively.
With this song, it is impossible for He Xiao not to advance.
Including the three judges, each of them wrote and drew on the pen, and when they occasionally looked at He Xiao, it was full of complexity.
This Chinese kid really gives people too many surprises, the audition stage is already like this, and when he really enters the palace of the Paris Opera, what kind of surprise will the world see?
Stage.
The piano sound faded into a faint tone.
He Xiao's performance is over.
He turned around and gave a gentlemanly salute to the not too many players and reporters in the infield, then looked at the judges' bench and waited for their verdict to be announced.
"Your piano song...... What's your name?"
The female judge did not announce the results in a hurry, but asked urgently with sparkling eyes.
As soon as He Xiao saw this reaction, he knew that there was a play in the promotion, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, licked his lips and replied:
"This song is called "Autumn Whispers"!"
