Midday.

The event is temporarily suspended.

The Paris Opera House began to clear the venue, and the staff and audience began to prepare for lunch.

All of a sudden, the restaurants on the nearby streets were overcrowded.

Although the semi-finals and the finals are two events, and the number of votes is not included, few of the spectators who can come to watch live are short of money, so most of them are consecutive tickets, and 80% of the morning and afternoon spectators are from the same group.

Paris is buzzing.

Centered on the Champs-Élysées, the 2,000 spectators scattered everywhere, and everywhere you go, you can hear people discussing today's Isabella semi-finals.

"The second one is not interesting, and the most powerful one is the first red-faced vs. unicorn showdown. ”

"Yes, these two have scored ninety-seven points, it's like a fight between gods, it's not in vain that we came for nothing. ”

"It's been blown up on the Internet! Twitter is full of videos of red-faced forty seconds of finishing that piano piece!"

"His song "Flying Bees" is indeed a rare masterpiece. ”

The crowd is hotly discussed, whether it is reality or the Internet, this game has been mentioned a lot.

Twitter recently became popular with a "garbage picking challenge", which is known as the coolest challenge in the world with public welfare significance, and has swept all countries, whether it is the bottom of the people or celebrities.

As soon as Isabella's semifinals came out, this "garbage picking challenge" that had been popular for several months was directly overheaded.

In the past, when the homepage of social networking sites was refreshed, eight out of ten videos were challenges, but now when they are refreshed, all of them are recordings of the red-faced unicorn competition.

And then this shareholder wind, but also unexpectedly set off a "piano learning" boom around the world, many people have said that they directly reported to the local piano class at noon today.

There is another thing that has also become unexpectedly popular, that is, Huaguo's face mask, red face, blue face, black face...... Various styles of face masks are in short supply.

Because there are few foreign stores of this type of things, most netizens can only find a way to buy from the Internet, and foreign online shopping is not as developed as in China, and it is not easy to find the mask you like through Amazon and other platforms, and it is sold out in a blink of an eye.

As a result, Facebook has become a sought-after commodity, with a five-dollar mask selling for $10 in the United States.

In short, the entire Isabella Competition has been held, and countless industries have been affected.

This is a carnival that belongs to the whole people.

......

A Chinese restaurant in Paris.

Private room on the second floor.

He Xiao sat face-to-face with Sean brewing a pot of steaming tea in the middle.

Sean is a respectable opponent, and despite his disappointing defeat in this round, there is no denying that he has a bright future ahead of him, and he has the potential to become one of the top stars on the European music scene.

He Xiao is not a fool, he also knows that connections in the circle are a very important thing, and multiple friends have many ways out, so after the event, he invited Sean to lunch together.

Both of them are highly accomplished musicians and have a lot of topics in common.

"Do you want to know my true face?" After the dishes were served, He Xiao, who had always covered his face, handed the chopsticks to the other party and asked with a glance.

Sean quietly looked at the red-faced mask opposite.

Although the same mask was everywhere on the streets of Paris at this time, he knew that the one in front of him was definitely a Buddha-figure.

The true identity of the red face, there must be no one in the world who is not curious.

The event has reached the final critical moment, only the two have not been revealed, and the other mysteries have already been revealed one by one.

Fugu is not a Donald, but a player who hides his strength, ranking only 50th in the Top 100.

So compared to the entire top 100 list, among the powerful players, only Donald and Martin did not show up.

Because Martin and Sean were tied for first place, Donald was ranked third on his official website at the time, but there was nothing wrong with actually saying that he was second.

These two extremely powerful players seem to be in line with the identity of the clown and the red face.

Therefore, the general thought of most netizens at this time is that the last battle is a battle between Donald and Martin.

It's just that who is Donald and who is Martin is not sure at this time.

Sean was silent about the rumors, not fully believing them, but now he nodded when he heard the red-faced deity speak.

He Xiao put his palm on the mask, and slowly took off the entire mask under Sean's nervous gaze.

In fact, the game has reached the last moment, and there is no need to cling to the mask anymore, after all, no matter what the final result is, in three hours, he will be unveiled.

So there is nothing wrong with He Xiao unveiling his face in advance in front of Sean.

In a small private room.

When the mask that dominated the arena and terrified countless opponents was completely removed, Sean's eyes widened suddenly, first with great surprise, and then gradually suddenly, revealing a wry smile.

"It's you!"

The identity of the red face was indeed something that Sean had never expected, and after he was stunned for a moment, he laughed: "You lied to all of us." ”

"I never said I was eliminated. He Xiao put the mask on the table and shook his head to deny Sean's claim.

He really didn't admit anything, everything was made up by the media and netizens themselves.

may be in response to the sentence "If you are not afraid that your opponent is too strong, you are afraid that your teammates will make up for it".

He Xiao's identity was originally the easiest to expose, but because of the excessive brain supplementation of netizens, he was inexplicably eliminated.

As a result, everyone didn't think that the red face was actually the person they should have thought of.

"Well, the opponent in the finals should be Martin, that guy is not easy to deal with, he wanted to buy me before. Sean asked with a shrug and a slight smile on his young face.

"How do you know it's Martin and not Donald?" asked He Xiao, pretending not to know.

"Donald is out a long time ago, no face. Sean poured himself a cup of tea, and after drinking half a cup, his comfortable eyes narrowed, and he gave a thumbs up and praised: "Seriously, your Huaguo tea ceremony is much more powerful than coffee." ”

Sean is British, and there are more people who like to drink tea in the UK, and afternoon tea is made by them, and it has always been his dream to drink authentic tea once.

He Xiao actually doesn't know much about tea, southerners like to drink tea and talk about business, and northerners love to drink and brag, so he can't pick up the topic of tea ceremony, and Quan is complimented by Sean.

He smiled in response, and then continued with the previous topic: "You said that Martin wanted to buy you, how much did you pay in total?"

"Eight million euros. ”

Sean shook his shoulders and read out an answer that made He Xiao almost vomit blood.

This little bastard is so much more expensive than him......

It seems that Sean is the one who is the biggest threat in Martin's eyes.

It's a pity that there are unforeseen circumstances, he didn't expect Sean to refuse the temptation of eight million, and he is not the one who goes to the end of this stage.

"Martin is so extreme, you can see from the fact that he can buy people with so much money, and if he doesn't win the championship, I think he's going to go crazy. Sean clumsily forked a piece of beef with chopsticks, and said seriously: "He, I advise you to be careful, Martin's family is very powerful." ”

"This recording for you may be able to help you. ”

After speaking, Sean handed out another voice recorder and sent it to He Xiao's hand.

"Could this be ......" He Xiao was shocked, and hurriedly grabbed the pen and pressed the switch, and then a rough man's voice came out, it was the man who tried to buy He Xiao with a check in the toilet that day.

In an instant, He Xiao's expression changed.

This is not just a recording, but also evidence that Martin bought the players!

Once exposed, Martin will be disqualified regardless of whether the next match is successful or not.

Sean sent such a precious recording to He Xiao at this time, and he almost confirmed the fact that He Xiao was about to become the champion of the Isabella Cup.

He Xiao looked at Sean, who kept "picking vegetables" in his bowl with his head down, and his heart was extremely shocked for a while.

Heroes cherish heroes.

Sean is a respectable opponent and a friend to make.

He Xiao held the recorder in his hand, put it down after a long time and asked: "There is your voice in this, you know that Martin is a crazy person, and you dare to hand over the recording to me, are you not afraid that he will retaliate against you after he is ruined?"

"He didn't dare, my father was a major general in the British Army. Sean said something lightly that made He Xiao almost spurt blood again.

No wonder Sean is so calm in the face of the temptation of eight million euros, and the family of the emotional family has conditions.

Come to think of it, the piano is not something that ordinary people can learn, especially a skilled pianist like Sean, who must have been taught by a famous teacher since childhood, and his family background must be different.

But it's a bit too scary......

Major General of the British Army...... With such a prominent family background, Sean did not follow Rong, but became a pianist.

Sure enough, everyone has their own way of living.

He Xiao put away the recorder, he was not worried about Sean's safety.

The British army is notoriously fierce, ranking among the top five in the world and the longest-lasting in terms of victory, dominating a quarter of the world with one-thousandth of the world's land area at its peak.

As the son of a major general in such a powerful country, Martin, a son of a chaebol family, really didn't dare to move.

After all, the Kroll family is not Martin's final say, and he has an older brother on his head who is in power.

Eating in his mouth, He Xiao sighed silently, he felt like the chosen son in the TV series, the protagonist in the TV series, surrounded by all kinds of boundless demons and monsters.

A trip to the UK, an Isabella competition, really gave him too much insight.

The perverted son of the French chaebol family and the young master of the British general's family...... This resounding identity is too far away from ordinary people like him.

He has lived for more than 20 years, and he lives in the fireworks of the market, and it seems that only Yanjing's bean cake fritters, the northeast's sauerkraut stewed sausages, and Rongcheng's hot pot are real.

But when these unreachable things really appeared around him, he could only be forced to accept them.

After having lunch with Sean, a young master with a prominent background, He Xiao put on his mask and left the restaurant in a hurry.

Shi Dazhui and Bao Yuanyuan were not in the private room, they ate in the hall outside, and returned to the car early in the morning to wait for He Xiao.

After seeing him come out, a group of people drove to the Paris Opera.

Sean didn't go with He Xiao, and after the recorder was handed over to He Xiao, there was no suspense in this competition, so he didn't continue to stay in Paris, and booked a ticket to return to London that afternoon.

One o'clock in the afternoon.

The finals of the Isabella International Piano Competition have officially begun.

This red-faced VS clown showdown, after a noon silence, that expectation has been pushed to the top, and the whole network is paying attention.

When He Xiao entered, the audience was already seated, and the clown was standing at the entrance early.

He glanced at He Xiao with gloomy eyes, and then Du Bu walked over, and whispered in He Xiao's ear: "I don't care who you are, I'll give you one last chance, 10 million euros, buy a champion!"

"I said, if you give me 100 million euros, I'll let you. He Xiao's body stood straight, and when he heard this, he chuckled lightly, and replied almost without hesitation.

The clown's already weird face was overcast at that time, he snorted heavily, passed by He Xiao, and walked towards his seat.

On the stage, the staff was doing the final adjustments, and no one paid attention to the scene off the stage, even if they saw it, they would only think that the two players were greeting each other.

Ten minutes later.

The lights are on.

In the order of the chief director, the live broadcast signal was instantly connected.

The world's most anticipated grand finale has finally begun.

Cammy's unchanged lines came out, and after passionately introducing a lot of information that had long been known, in an impatient shout, the two contestants were invited to the stage.

This time, the stage layout has changed from before, and in addition to the original piano, there is a new piano.

He Xiao chose the old piano on the left, and the clown got on the new piano.

"Hehe, let me play first in this round. ”

The clown gave Cammy a wicked look, and then volunteered to be the first to perform.

The audience suddenly resounded with the sound of discussions, and the judges also looked at the stage curiously.

It undoubtedly takes a lot of courage and self-confidence to ask for the first performance.

The clown can still do this in the face of the red-faced strong enemy, could it be that there is no hole card to be successful?

For a moment, all eyes were on him.

He Xiao also sat quietly in front of another piano, wanting to see what tricks the clown could play.

"Hello judges, the repertoire I want to perform in this round is "The End of the Maniac"!"

After the clown sat on the piano, his expression was much more serious, and his hoarse voice was transmitted through the microphone.

And all the judges and contestants all changed color after hearing this newspaper again.

It seems that this piano piece has some great origin.
