Half past eight in the morning.

The entire Paris Opera House was full of people.

The golden corridors are full of busy figures.

A long red carpet stretches from one end of the lobby to the other.

Several cameras are already running, pulling cameras on either side to record some of the players as they enter the arena.

By the time it goes live at nine o'clock, these will be inserted into the opening screen.

He Xiao came to the stepping spot once yesterday and knew the trajectory of several sets of cameras, so when he entered, he deliberately mixed a lot of shots.

Although this behavior seems a bit petty, it is not an exaggeration as a star who needs exposure.

After all, the audience of the global live broadcast is so large that even a few more seconds of footage is worth it.

Don't you see, how many celebrities can stand in front of the media camera for half an hour when they walk the red carpet of the film festival, just to brush their faces and attract attention.

Now the atmosphere in this world is like this, whoever has a thick skin and can show his face will have a chance to get ahead.

Otherwise, you will be shy and hesitant in everything, timid, and it will be difficult to make a difference in your life.

He Xiao hasn't done too much, but when he walked the red carpet on the floor of this lounge, he tried his best to be in all the cameras, and he didn't let go of any shots.

In this way, even if you need to edit it later, you can ensure that every picture has more or less the shadow of He Xiao.

In the air in the lobby on the first floor, a small drone is taking aerial pictures of the entire picture.

A hundred contestants from all over the world gathered in a long line, and streamed in from the main entrance, and with the music of the post-production, the picture of the large-scale competition was immediately revealed.

Click...... Click......

Reporters with permission also came in, and as soon as they entered, their eyes lit up, and all kinds of long guns and sprints kept shooting.

If it weren't allowed at the competition site, it was estimated that they would chase after the contestants' butts for interviews.

8:50 a.m.

All the contestants have arrived in the performance hall on the second floor of the Paris Opera, and the audience is also seated.

There are a total of 2,200 seats in the auditorium, of which only 2,000 are for sale, and the remaining 200 are for the contestants and the leaders of the ten prestigious universities.

He Xiao sat on the far left of the second row, which was naturally not the best compared to other positions in the same infield, but because of its proximity to the stage, it was also a hundred times stronger than the position of the ordinary audience.

As for Martin, the rich second generation, he sat in the middle of the first row, and this position is one of the best places in the audience in terms of the probability of entering the camera and the field of view.

He straightened his tie at the moment, sat there politely, and looked at the stage with a smile.

That look is diametrically opposed to the somewhat sick appearance in private.

On the side of the circular stage, a set of seats is designed every three meters, and ten judges from prestigious schools sit on it, looking at each other and chatting with each other relaxedly.

The ten judges are both male and female, all in their forties, and there is even no shortage of old professors with gray temples.

Each of them represents the authority of the piano world, and their every move has attracted the attention of countless people in the industry.

Among them, there is a gray-haired old professor who is the most eye-catching, faintly the head of the ten, and when the other nine judges see him, they all have respect on their faces, and there is a meaning that he is the leader.

From the name tag on his chest, I know that this is the judge sent by the Isabella Conservatory of Music, and he is also the old president of the academy, and his attainments in piano have long reached the peak, such as Isabella's various famous songs, almost come by touch.

There was once a video of the old principal's personal solo show, which was very popular on the campus forum, in which he performed the top ten piano difficult pieces in the world alone, and he was still at ease and still had spare strength.

That video once again made Isabella's conservatory unique status in the world, and it is still one of the must-see videos for piano beginners around the world.

"It's rare that Mr. William was present at the Isabella Cup this year. ”

"Yes, I also graduated from the Isabella Conservatory, and I received a lot of favors from the old principal William during my time at the school. ”

"Mr. William was there, and I suddenly felt a double of pressure. ”

“……”

Seeing the lineup on the judges' bench, many contestants at the scene were amazed, including some academics who graduated from Isabella, and they were stared at by the former principal at this time, and they were even more stressed.

As for the contestants from Yeluzi, they looked at this Taishan Beidou-level figure in the piano world with admiration, they had all seen it on video before, and it was the first time that they were real.

"With Mr. William coming forward, it seems that this year's competition will be more fair. ”

Carol sat in the front row, parallel to He Xiao, belonging to the front and rear seats, and turned around to chat with He Xiao at this time.

He Xiao also nodded approvingly, this is not to say that previous years were unfair, but the piano competition belongs to the field of art, since ancient times, there is no first martial arts, this kind of thing really needs to be studied deeply, it is difficult to win or lose.

Therefore, the personal preference of the judges is very important, and in previous years, it was inevitable that some contestants relied on luck and happened to play songs that met the judges' wishes.

The old principal has a high prestige in the industry, and it is easier to level a bowl of water than other judges in previous years.

After the judges on the stage finished greetings, they sat down one after another.

At this time, there were less than three minutes left before the start of the game.

"Guys, check the equipment one last time!"

"What? Machine Three hasn't turned on yet? What the are you eating? Shey! Run for me, gogogo!"

On the side of the stage, a big white man with a beard, wearing an expensive suit, stood there with a frown, giving orders with a headset.

He is the chief director of this competition, and he is also a well-known stage director in the French entertainment industry, and has worked on many extremely famous variety shows in France.

At this time, he was standing at the back of the stage to control the overall situation, and the game was about to start in three minutes, and it was necessary to keep the operation of all equipment in a normal state, and there must be no mistakes.

After all, this is a global live broadcast event, and as the face of France, everything that is shown represents the face of France.

After all, it is also one of the five major countries in the world, and it can't be like those unreliable small countries in the Olympic Games, where there are all kinds of mistakes that make the people of the world laugh at every turn, right?

So the chief director is also nervous, the closer to the start of the game, the greater the pressure.

At 8:59 a.m., there was no more noise at the scene, and in silence, the game began!

Live signals around the world are instantly connected.

At this moment, images of the Paris Opera House appeared on France Télévision, live video sites, as well as on Twitter, Facebook and other internationally renowned websites.

He Xiao also took two deep breaths after the signal was connected, and his eyes began to glow.

The opportunity to make a name for yourself overseas is just around the corner, as long as you seize it, you can soar to the sky!
