Paris Opera.

The list of matchups for the quarterfinals has been officially announced.

He Xiao's opponent is none other than the squirrel, who has always been silent, and Carroll's opponent is an obese contestant codenamed "Fugu".

Among the remaining four, Martin and the unicorn did not meet two strong opponents, but each had their own challenges.

As soon as this list was unveiled, it caused an uproar before the live broadcast.

Many netizens turned into Detective Sherlock Holmes at this moment and began to speculate on the top four lineup.

"Guys, I dare to take my grandma's pants-slat, the Final Four are definitely red-faced, unicorns, pufferfish and tanks!"

"Haha, then your grandma's pants will definitely not be there, because the clown will not lose!"

"Seriously guys, I don't think Redface will necessarily make the cut in this round, his opponent Squirrel is weird!"

"I also found out that this squirrel has no sense of existence, but it can be successfully promoted quietly every time. ”

"The unicorn will definitely win!"

Comments of all kinds.

And the scene of the game.

The atmosphere here is completely different from that on the Internet, there is no verbal war and ridicule, only a feeling of tension permeating the surroundings.

The first one to appear is the Joker, and the opponent he matched in this round is called "Tank", and he is also a very popular player.

Speaking of which, his mask has nothing to do with tanks, but because it is boxy and looks a bit like a Transformer in a black phone, that is, a robot, it is called a tank.

Maybe it's because every rough guy has a mechanical dream in his heart, so Tank's square-faced mask full of technology makes him very popular on the Internet.

In addition, his strength can also support his mighty codename, and his performance style is wide open and close, all of which are world-famous songs, which can be said to have collided all the way over, giving people a sense of impact that perfectly combines art and originality.

The Joker's face still has that hippie smile, and his mask is like that, whether the face behind the mask is crying or laughing, the look in front of the mask is like this.

His eyes seemed to look at the tank with something strange, and the clown came on stage to perform first.

A piece of music that had never been heard before in this world came out, and everyone looked sideways.

It's an original song.

Of course, it's not clear if it's the Joker's own original, maybe it was bought from another musician.

Only a very small number of people on the scene are aware of this fact.

He Xiao didn't know if the tank had received the clown's check, but judging from the duel between the two, the tank did not perform well in this round, and the balance of victory tilted in favor of the clown.

Carol and Fugu in the second round.

As Carol said, it is already a miracle that she can reach the quarterfinals, and it is almost impossible to make it to the semi-finals.

Fugu won by an overwhelming margin, three ratings higher than her.

Carol, who originally came to the competition for the gilding, naturally chose to uncover her face in this round.

When the white swan mask was slowly taken off, revealing smart and small facial features, everyone couldn't help but let out exclamations.

In Isabella's game, whenever a female player unveils her face, it will make a commotion on the scene, especially the good-looking female player, and the effect is even more explosive.

In this boring world, only food and girls can't live up to it.

Brush the young lady on the mobile phone at work, brush the young lady on the bed after work, wake up in the morning and touch the mobile phone and brush the young lady again, and see that the likes are all young sisters.

This is the state of most people's lives, and good-looking girls will have a high degree of attention no matter where they are.

Carol is not bad, but she is not well-known abroad, and the records released are not listened to, and her occasional acting is an inconspicuous passerby.

At this time, after the Isabella Cup was unveiled, it was immediately gilded, and its fame soared, and countless netizens shouted to call for the "White Swan".

Carol lost the match, but was not at all saddened to step down, leaving his opponent Fugu at a loss and assuming a black question-mark face.

"It's already halfway through the game, and I'm sure everyone is a little tired, but the next player will definitely lift everyone's spirits. ”

"Let's bring out the red-faced player who is always at the top of the official website rankings, and his opponent - the squirrel!"

The host Cami came up to host the show, in the end, he is still a famous mouth in the foreign entertainment industry, and in just three or two sentences, the atmosphere of the scene was brought to the top.

He Xiao, who closed his eyes and recuperated, stood up and took the lead on the stage with steps.

Behind him was a squirrel as tall as a sledgehammer.

The squirrel's face is a little simple, revealing only a pair of black eyes, giving people the impression of an honest person.

He stepped onto the stage silently, with his hands vertically in front of his legs, and his state seemed a little restrained, like a countryman who had never been in the city, which made the host Cami not have the slightest interest in interviewing him.

"So, let's get into the game. ”

With some perfunctory remarks, Cammy turned away from the stage.

Only He Xiao and the squirrel were left in the field.

According to the matching results, it was the squirrels who took the stage first.

He glanced at He Xiao with deep meaning, and then came to the piano and sat down.

There was a whisper in the audience.

"Squirrel is not a big player. ”

"yes, I don't even know when he'll make it to the semi-finals. ”

"If it weren't for the red-faced appearance in this round, I wouldn't want to watch it. ”

"Hehe, when I watch the replay at home, I just skip the squirrel performance, it's so boring. ”

"It's still clowns and unicorns. ”

"Cool and handsome!"

In the words of the audience, the squirrel was very contemptuous.

Honest people are the most inconspicuous and easily despised existence wherever they go, and this is the case with the current social situation.

Even if the squirrel's personality at this time may be pretended, the real person under the mask is much more lively, but for the audience, they only look at what they can see now.

The character design of the squirrel is far less popular than the red-faced and clown.

But in terms of strength, the squirrels are not much different from these people.

This is one of the most overlooked rivals.

"Hello teachers. ”

The squirrel bowed to the judges' seat, and even the greeting was so concise and to the point, full of honest and cramped feeling.

One of the judges nodded while holding his glasses, signaling that he was ready to perform.

Under the circular spotlight, the squirrel sits firmly and rests his hands on the black and white keys.

The next moment, one light note after another was played.

Soothing and light, mixed with a bit of laziness, it seems to make people feel in a hot summer.

The melody gradually accelerated, and the audience closed their eyes and listened quietly, all showing a look of intoxication.

"Hmm...... Is this a Summer Variation?"

One of the judges heard the origin of the prelude, couldn't help but sit up straight, and looked at the squirrel with some surprise.

The melody of "Summer Variations" is simple, and it is difficult to play new ideas, and this piece is almost the same as it was taken out in the top 100 competition, and it is really commendable to dare to play it when it is about to be final.

Just when the judges had this idea in their hearts, the squirrel's playing technique changed suddenly, and on the basis of the original song, it turned a corner directly, and the melody accelerated a lot, making the audience feel as if they were in the hot summer with a touch of coolness.

"I see, he adapted this "Summer Variation" by himself!"

The judge immediately showed a look of sudden realization, no wonder the squirrel dared to play this song in the quarterfinals, it seems that the content has already been adapted.

Today's "Summer Variations" is no longer easy to play, and a lot of technical things have been added to it, which has raised the difficulty of the piano piece from the original level 6 to level 10.

In the audience, many players also showed different colors, and they were shocked by the strength of the squirrel.

He Xiao's eyes narrowed even more, and he glanced back at Ms. Field, who had a pleased smile on the corner of her mouth.

"It seems that the squirrel is really a wonderful ......"

Looking at the squirrel playing with his fingers like the wind on the stage, He Xiao had basically determined his identity in his heart.

But despite this, he still felt a little incredible.

After all, that smart and lively girl is really difficult to associate with the silent and honest man in front of her.

Even if there is an element of camouflage, then this is too good for camouflage, right?

He Xiao is completely convinced, Yin Miaozhi, this girl definitely has the potential to be an actress.

She had already let He Xiao's guess fail once, and when she was probing the tone before, she deliberately led the topic to the panda, causing He Xiao to think that the panda was Yin Miaozhi.

Unexpectedly, under the panda mask, there was a person who should not have appeared, and the real Yin Miaozhi was still hidden among the players.

If it weren't for Field's appearance and flaws today, and He Xiao happened to accidentally bump into the scene where Field taught Yin Miaozhi the piano, he really wouldn't have guessed the answer to this riddle.

"It's really a little ghost, so good at acting, why don't you become an actor?"

He Xiao looked at the squirrel on the stage with a serious performance, and he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart.

And at this time.

"Summer Variations" has come to an end.

The "Summer Variations", which was arranged by the world-famous female pianist Ms. Field, is naturally close to perfection in all aspects, whether it is the melodic degree or the mastery of rhythm, it can be called perfect.

So when the squirrel's hands left the keys, the audience instantly applauded thunderously and endured for a long time.

"That's so good!"

"I retract my previous assessment of the squirrel, this guy has a few brushes. ”

"Squirrel's performance this time is really unforgettable. ”

"I studied music, and to be honest, this is the most memorable Summer Variations I've ever heard!"

A group of viewers who complained about squirrels before have now changed their tone again, and they all admire it very much.

The squirrel ignored the commotion in the audience, and his sturdy body bent slightly, bowing to the judges' seat.

The judges representing Berklee College of Music showed a look of surprise on their faces at this time, as if they had found a treasure, and took the lead in speaking:

"Squirrel player, I am really pleased with your performance today, I personally like Mr. Kirsbo's Summer Variations very much, and I have made many arrangements in private, but none of them are as shocking as your performance at the moment. ”

"On behalf of Berklee College of Music, I would like to welcome you, and this round, I will give you all my scores. ”

The professor gave a very good evaluation, and invited the squirrel to study at the academy.

Many people at the scene showed envious eyes.

Giving a chance to go straight to Berklee College of Music like this, I don't know how many people dream of it.

But the squirrel didn't react, nodding honestly, neither agreeing nor refusing, as if stunned by the judges' comments.

"Dead girl! You act, I will see how long you can act!"

He Xiao looked at the scene on the stage, and couldn't help but think of Yin Miaozhi's mixing mustard in his salad, and suddenly became crazy in his heart.

Hide mustard in the bowl of your idol, how many tiger fans can do it?

What a stunned blue!

Goose!

If she can be as honest as she is on the stage, the sow can go up the tree.

He Xiao gritted her teeth and listened to the judges give her a score, not to mention, Field's adaptation of "Summer Variations" is different, after this girl's performance, several judges applauded her and gave her several full marks.

And in the end, she actually got an overall score of 94 points, which can be described as quite high.

After all, the puffer fish that eliminated Carol was only ninety-three points.

Whether the squirrel is ranked in the puffer fish or Carol, it can win steadily.

"The squirrel actually scored ninety-four points!"

"I'm really impressed by the strength of the squirrel. ”

"I don't know how to deal with this round of red faces?"

"Why do I faintly feel red-faced and about to capsize in the gutter?"

"This squirrel is so stable!"

After the squirrel performance, it also caused an uproar on the Internet.

Many people who looked down on squirrels were slapped in the face.

Including the host Cammy, his character is quite straightforward when he only plays the real one, and he can't look down on honest people like squirrels.

And after being slapped in the face at this time, he immediately turned red, and he was about to be embarrassed to come up and preside over the scene.

In the end, it was the judges who said, "Please exchange the stage for the contestants on both sides", and He Xiao, who had been waiting for a long time, came on the stage.

The squirrel went down, He Xiao played, and the two passed by.

"Hee-hee, idol, you're going to lose!"

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly passed extremely faintly from under the squirrel's mask, full of playfulness.

He Xiao, who had already guessed the identity of the squirrel, was not surprised at all, but gritted his teeth and whispered back, "Stinky girl, if I win, you will shout to me 'Brother Redface, I'm sorry', I didn't hear it!"

"Briefly, you'll talk about it when you win......" The voice from the squirrel's mask faded into obscurity, and she had returned to her seat.

He Xiao stepped onto the stage under the expectant gaze of the audience.

Sitting in the performance position, he looked at the expensive black piano in front of him, and couldn't help but think of the oath he made that day when he was tricked by Yin Miaozhi in the piano shop.

Immediately, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Well...... When you come out to mix, you must talk about credibility, and if you say that you abuse your mother and you don't know it, you must abuse your mother until you don't know it.

Now that you've played "Summer Variations", don't blame your brother for being ruthless.

He Xiao looked at the judges' seat, nodded slightly, and said, "Hello judges, the repertoire I want to perform today is called."

——《Summer！》”
