The end of a song.

The air is full of the breath of happy love, which lingers for a long time.

Human beings are creatures that yearn for beauty, and they are full of desire for love from their bones, so since ancient times, no matter what era, love has been a very hot topic.

He Xiao's "Confession Balloon" combines the Seine River with sweet love, which can be described as ingenious and unexpected.

And subtly, these two things are not incompatible in the song, because Paris itself is the capital of romance, and the Seine River also carries too many French people's sustenance for love.

The combination of the two is seamless.

In addition, He Xiao's song has a smooth melody and a complete lyric structure, and it is not just a sample, so in this round of the game, it is obvious that he won.

The host Tony was speechless and could only admit it.

It was killed by the wolf.

Three more points than the ruthless man, plus one horizontal.

Seeing this famous old bastard in Chinatown deflated, many people in the audience began to heckle and make a "whew" sound.

Tony is not upset either, because he knows his position, and as a host, his main task is to liven up the atmosphere of the scene.

In fact, it doesn't matter if he laughs or he is deflated, as long as it can produce "highlights", mobilize everyone's emotions, and make the atmosphere of the bar always high and not cold, then this event will be considered a success.

"Congratulations to this friend for being eligible for free admission to the audience, and I would like to ask, buddy, are you a graduate of the Conservatory?

Tony took He Xiao's hand and raised it high to celebrate him, and then took the opportunity to interview a question.

This is purely his personal curiosity, because He Xiao's professionalism is too strong, whether it is played on the spot or not, it is enough to make people feel incredible.

He's grown so big, he's never seen such a fierce person.

Even, he almost thought that He Xiao had come over to smash the field.

The other singers in the audience also stared at the stage tightly, and they were also extremely puzzled.

All of you here are people who are engaged in the music industry from all over the world, and together they have a lot of energy, at least they are very well-informed and well-connected.

But He Xiao is such a powerful singer, no one knows him.

Could it be that you came from the United States?

After all, if it were in Europe, he couldn't be so unknown.

Except for Carol, everyone in the audience was confused about He Xiao's origin.

He Xiao looked at this scene, and also laughed, so he had to take the microphone from Tony's hand and said with the strength of the wine: "I originally wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but I didn't expect to get in exchange for estrangement. ”

"Since everyone is curious, then I won't pretend, I'm a star, I'm a showdown!"

He Xiao's expression was very serious, because he was indeed a star, since everyone guessed his identity, it was better to tell the truth directly, and it was not an unsightly thing.

The bar was silent for two seconds.

Is this guy a star?

A group of people looked at each other, then burst into laughter.

What is a celebrity? That's a well-known public figure.

A little singer like He Xiao, who no one knows, what kind of star is he?

Tony also shook his head and patted He Xiao's shoulder, crying and laughing, "Friend, you are so humorous." ”

"I'm a big star. ”

He Xiao emphasized again, but Tony just laughed louder and louder, and his face still looked disbelieving.

Everyone thought He Laugh was joking.

In the final analysis, He Xiao's popularity overseas is too low.

Hearing the laughter in his ears, He Xiao stood on the stage for a long time without moving, and suddenly a thought burst out.

He wants to open overseas markets!

The international popularity of Chinese celebrities has always been very low, except for a few kung fu superstars who can barely stand on their feet, most of them are at the bottom.

Even some artists who are dominantly influential in China are rarely known in the world.

He Xiao had heard Lin Yunkai say before that the foreign entertainment industry is the most difficult to mix, and that market is still too far away for Chinese artists.

There was once a popular female singer in the domestic music scene who went abroad to hold a world tour, but as soon as she arrived at the London station, she hit the threshold, the concert site was almost empty, and the tickets were all in her hands, and in the end she could only rely on giving it away for nothing in exchange for popularity.

You must know that when the female singer held a concert in China, the venue was full.

The female singer's mentality was about to collapse, and after returning to China, she hugged Lin Yunkai and complained, saying that if it wasn't for gold plating, she would never go abroad to hold concerts in the future and do this kind of self-inflicted thing.

It can be seen from this that the status of Chinese artists in the world.

In the final analysis, Huaguo does not have its own IP that can influence the world, and it is crushed to death by a Hollywood.

But there is no way, the current atmosphere in the domestic entertainment industry is like this, engaging in some palace fighting dramas and anti-Japanese dramas all day long.

finally brought in a big investment, and didn't spend the money on special effects, why did he use it as a salary for Xiao Xianrou, how could such a work be as long as someone else's top commercial blockbuster?

And now He Xiao has a black mobile phone, and the vision and pattern have gradually been opened.

He is determined to break the current situation of restlessness and create a series of top IPs to bring China's entertainment industry to the world stage.

At least there can be no more today's situation where "stars with tens of millions of fans in China are not known abroad".

Tony continued to host the game, while He Xiao walked off the small stage step by step.

Because he was qualified for free orders, He Xiao didn't waste it, and went to the bar and ordered a glass of foreign wine with a price of 11,000 euros, which is equivalent to more than 90,000 Chinese dollars.

He Xiao drank a lot of wine, this small sip was not enough at all, and it didn't take long for him to order another glass.

The bartender was terrified, and after such a while, He smiled and drank into a BMW.

"Sir, Miss Carroll, please come to the second floor for a moment. ”

Just as He Xiao was about to drink another Mercedes-Benz, a tall white man came over and said in Mandarin.

The pronunciation is not very standard, but He Xiao understands it.

He nodded unsurprisingly and followed the white man up to the second floor.

Seeing He Xiao leave the bar, the little bartender and the manager were relieved, and then looked at the empty wine glasses on the bar, their hearts were dripping blood.

"What about a 78-year-old Macallan whisky for plain water?"

I've seen something that can be drunk, but I've never seen something that can be drunk like this, this Nima is still a human?

If He Xiao orders two more glasses, it will not be BMW's business, at least one Mercedes-Benz C-class is gone.

The screen goes to this side.

On the second floor, on the private seat.

He Xiao met this old man again, Carol, the only white female singer in the Chinese music scene.

Both sides are old acquaintances, hugging and touching each other's faces according to Western etiquette.

"You can now, after signing with Lejia, it is a rumor. ”

Carol's beautiful blue eyes swept around He Xiao's body unscrupulously, and said with a smile.

Compared with the white bodyguard who led the way before, Carol's Chinese is much more fluent, and she also has a taste of Beijing films, which is quite authentic.

After all, Carol focuses on the Chinese market, and her Chinese has long been practiced.

Of course, she is also quite fluent in English, and she has to live abroad for a long time every year, which belongs to the kind of rare killer artist at home and abroad.

Whether it is North America or Europe, they all have a certain degree of popularity, but they are not high, just about three or four lines.

I haven't seen Carol for a long time, He Xiao also has a lot of feelings, recalling the days when he participated in "The Voice of Dreams" last year, when he was just an amateur.

A little Mengxin who was ignorant and didn't know anything plunged into the Longtan tiger's den in the entertainment industry.

Looking back at this moment, it seems as if everything happened yesterday.

But in fact, this was already last year.

Time is like quicksand at your fingertips, you can't catch it, and you can inadvertently turn gray hair and have more wrinkles.

He Xiao sighed softly, picked up the foreign wine prepared for him on the table and touched Carol.

“Cheers~”

As soon as the two of them drank it all, Carol couldn't drink enough, so he took a sip, and He Xiao was half a glass.

He hissed a long time in his mouth, exhaled most of the wine, and then asked, "Didn't I expect to meet you in Paris and come here for a tour?"

"Come and participate in a competition, it's also a tour. Carol pulled up a strand of hair, her cheeks were slightly red, and she smiled: "But I'm really curious, why do you want to participate in the "Isabella Piano Cup" if you don't develop well in China, why do you want to go abroad?"

"Isabella Piano Cup?"

He Xiao was stunned, and then the whole person couldn't help but sit up slightly and sober up a little.

Isabella is a common name in Europe, but the most famous of them is the famous 19th-century pianist Miss Isabella.

She is a well-deserved musical genius, never married in her life, her piano music is magnificent, has a profound influence on the art of piano, and is an insurmountable figure in the history of piano.

Her status in this world is equivalent to Chopin in a black phone.

When He Xiao first learned piano in his early years, he listened to the teacher explain Isabella's life and many of her famous songs.

At that time, I was deeply shocked by this strange woman.

At the end of the 19th century, Isabella founded a conservatory in Paris under her own name, one of the top universities in the history of music in the world.

The Isabella International Piano Competition was founded by her adopted son Modric in 1905 and five of the world's leading conservatories at the time.

Today, the Isabella International Piano Competition has become the world's top piano competition, extremely authoritative and professional.

Each edition attracts the attention of countless music lovers, and its popularity is on par with famous sports events such as the World Cup and the NBA.

It has grown from five prestigious music schools to ten today, including the Manhattan School of Music, Berklee College of Music, Boston University School of Music and other well-known institutions.

Each competition is also judged by the school's music professors, and the competition is fair and just, with a complete competition process such as auditions, preliminaries, semi-finals, and finals.

If you perform well, you can also be directly admitted to various conservatories of music, and go directly to famous foreign schools without assessment.

In terms of awards, six grand prizes and special prizes will be presented in each competition.

It is worth mentioning that the jury is particularly arrogant in awarding awards, and will evaluate the awards according to the actual performance of the contestants.

If they believe that no one is qualified enough to win an award, they will be absent and there will be no substitute.

This action also led to the highest honor, the Isabella Award, which has been unclaimed for nearly a century.

Except for one in the first competition, the award has been held high in the sanctuary of the Isabella Conservatory, and for a hundred years, no one has been able to take it away.

This is also a topic that music lovers around the world talk about, I don't know if this century, lonely for a hundred years, can wait for its owner.

He Xiao came back to his senses and looked a little surprised.

He really didn't expect that the Isabella Piano Competition, which is only held every five years, would start again this year.

Then his focus turned to Carol.

"You mean, you're going to participate in this year's piano competition?"

He Xiao held the wine glass and asked with great curiosity.

Carol took another sip of wine, nodded and smiled: "Yes, but this competition is full of gods every year, I didn't expect to win a prize, just to try my luck." ”

"I don't dare to hope for a championship, as long as I can make it to the quarterfinals, or even the top 16, after all, this experience is quite valuable, it will gild my resume, and for those of us who are singers in the mixed music industry, the future will help me a lot. ”

Hearing Carol's words, He smiled and couldn't help but feel a little moved.

The Isabella Piano Competition will be held in the spring of each year, starting in 10 days, and is still in the registration stage, and the competition will last for two months.

The French visa can be extended for up to three months, just enough until the end of the competition.

"I thought you were here to gild the tournament too. ”

The bridge of Carol's tall nose was slightly wrinkled, and her pretty face showed dimples, and she covered her mouth and smiled.

"Not just now, but now it is. ”

He Xiao drank the remaining half glass of wine and said leisurely.

Hearing this, Carol was stunned.

"Isabella is the world's top piano competition, I started preparing two years in advance, you made an impromptu decision, wouldn't it be too hasty?" she couldn't help but remind He Xiao kindly.

That's the Isabella International Piano Competition, I don't know how many artists and folk gods will gather, and it's too child's play to want to set foot on this battlefield without good preparation.

Carol felt that He Xiao was a little overconfident, or blindly arrogant.

He Xiao shook his head, and said with a serious expression: "If you are not prepared, you have to go to it, after all, this competition is once every five years, I can't afford to wait for the next five years, just like you said, try your luck, don't seek to enter the top ten, the top sixteen." ”

"This ...... That's right. ”

Carol was speechless, then nodded in agreement with He Xiao's statement.

Although there is a certain registration fee for participating in the competition, it is a small amount of money for the stars, and it is not as expensive as the glass of wine He Xiao just drank.

However, this competition is held only once every five years, so it doesn't hurt to try your luck.

He Xiao was about to return to China, but now that he suddenly got the news, his mind couldn't help but become active.

He was worried that his career had reached a bottleneck, and there was no suitable springboard for him to soar, and he came across the Isabella Piano Competition.

As Carol says, this is a rare opportunity to gild.

If the performance is excellent, He Xiao is likely to take advantage of this to open the overseas market in advance!
