The weather was sunny.

The sun pours on the streets of Paris, pulling the long shadows of pedestrians.

On the gravel path on the banks of the Seine, He Xiao walked forward, humming a ballad, followed by a guy who played the guitar.

The MV for the song "Confession Balloon" was not completed in a short period of time, and it took several days to shoot just imitating the scene of Jay Chou singing while walking.

And in the original MV, in addition to the group of scenes of Jay Chou singing while walking, there is also a pair of male and female protagonists in the plot, and there are no longer a few scenes.

He Xiao didn't invite another male lead, he became the male lead, because he wanted to take this opportunity to hone his acting skills by the way, face the camera a few more times, and find the feeling in front of the camera, so as to lay the foundation for the film and television industry in the future.

"Over!"

Huang Jun, who was in charge of directing the drama and shooting the camera, took his eyes off the camera at this time, and shouted with an OK gesture like He Xiao.

Since agreeing to He Xiao and replacing Fu Jinglong, he has become more and more proficient in the position of chief director, plus most of them are He Xiao in control of the overall situation, so he doesn't have to worry too much, so the filming is going very smoothly.

After this set of shots, He Xiao immediately ran to the back of the machine to watch the playback of the picture just now, and the overall effect was not much different from what he imagined.

"Excuse me, Brother Huang. ”

He Xiao patted Huang Jun's shoulder and thanked him.

"Hey, what's the trouble with this. Huang Jun smiled and waved his hand, took a sip of the tea in the thermos cup, licked his lips and asked, "By the way, how are you preparing for the piano competition?"

Huang Jun is quite concerned about He Xiao's participation in the Isabella Piano Competition, after all, this competition has such a great influence in the world, if He Xiao can really be gilded successfully, then his future star journey will be incomparably broad.

It would be an unimaginable height!

Because he crossed the stage where he needed to boil up his qualifications in China, he directly used this springboard to climb to the sky and go international.

Don't look at the majestic domestic group of little fresh meat, but in the world, how many people can know?

But He Xiao is different, if he can really reach the top ten of the Isabella Cup, it will be the height of contemporary art, and he will have a group of loyal fans at home and abroad.

"It's okay to prepare, just wait for tomorrow to start. ”

He Xiao also took out a bottle of mineral water from the car, poured it to quench his thirst, and replied modestly.

Six days have passed since the last time I parted with Carol, and the day of the second round of auditions is just around the corner.

During this period, He Xiao was not unprepared at all, in addition to the daily shooting of MVs, he would also find time to practice playing piano music, so that he could have a score in mind for the repertoire he was going to perform next.

The second stage of the audition is naturally much higher than the threshold of the first stage, after all, after the second round, all that remains is the top 100 competition.

Starting from the top 100, the program will be broadcast live on TV and the Internet.

This is also the first step to becoming famous, if you can't even get into the top 100, then don't think about one step to the sky.

So even He Xiao was a lot more serious this time, and began to think about how to take every step in the next step.

Not to mention Carol, who didn't contact He Xiao for a few days, and concentrated in her room studying her piano music.

Screwed on the cap of the mineral water bottle, He Xiao began to pack up with the crew, I won't shoot the MV tonight, rest early, and recuperate my spirit so that I can cope with the second round of auditions tomorrow.

......

Next.

Morning.

He Xiao got up from the hotel, and after exercising his muscles, he went into the bathroom and began to clean himself up.

After cleaning up the slightly grown stubble on both sides, then taking a shower, and then using a hair dryer to blow out the hair, the whole person looks a lot more energetic.

This time Carol didn't come to pick him up, He Xiao left by himself.

The company's second investment has already been called, and Shi Dazhui rented a car here, continuing to play the role of his driver, and it will be much more convenient to go out in the future.

"Ho...... Teacher He, are you up?"

There was a knock at the door, and Bao Yuanyuan's timid voice came in weakly.

"Up, wait a minute, Yuanyuan, I'll open the door for you. ”

He Xiao agreed, then ran to the bedroom in two steps to change into a pair of long-legged trousers, and put the white shirt messily on his body, and went to open the door while buttoning it.

Bao Yuanyuan, who was standing at the door, was holding a dress to be used in today's performance, which was specially tailored at a well-known local clothing store, and it was an expensive and very slim suit.

Pulling open the door, He Xiao asked Bao Yuanyuan to come in and wait first, while he continued to repair his makeup in the bathroom.

France is a romantic and gentlemanly country, He Xiao has to clean himself up, and he can't let foreigners look down on him.

Even the nose hair was not let go, and after making sure that it would not be exposed, he changed into the expensive suit brought by Bao Yuanyuan, and drove downstairs to the audition site of the second round of the competition.

It's still the last time the hotel was held, but when I arrived this time, the number of people has decreased a lot, and it is no longer as crowded as last time.

The total number of participants in this year's Isabella Piano Competition is more than 800 people, including many skilled piano masters or artists who have already become famous.

After the first round of auditions, there were only 400 people left, and half of the number was eliminated.

These 400 people are all elites from the music industry from all over the world, immersed in the piano field for many years, just to soar to the sky.

Of course, after today, these 400 people will be eliminated by 300, leaving only the top 100 list.

In Paris, there are an average of four divisions, and only about two dozen people in each region can have the last laugh today.

The pressure has already begun to show, and when He Xiao rushed to the scene in the East Division, he saw that everyone was in a hurry, and sweat flowed down from time to time.

Ignoring these people, leaving Bao Yuanyuan and Shi Dazhui waiting in the parking lot of the hotel, He Xiao handed over his information and quickly walked into the infield.

According to the route in memory to find the seat last time, Carol was already sitting there waiting to play, she was wearing a white dress today, although her face was covered with makeup, but He Xiao still faintly saw traces of dark circles under her eyes.

It seems that she did not rest well last night and is still in a state of high tension.

"Where's the progress now?"

He Xiao bent down and sat on the chair, then leaned slightly to Carol's side, and asked very quietly, trying not to disturb anyone.

"It didn't take long to start, and now it's number nine. ”

Carol shook the serial number plate in her hand and replied in the same whisper.

Her sign reads number sixteen.

Funny to say, this serial number is actually given randomly.

The audition will start at 9 o'clock in the morning and will be held until 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

The serial number card is randomly drawn between the ten numbers after the serial number that has been played, and although He Xiao came a few minutes later than Carol, he got the number ten.

In other words, he is next!
