Surrounded by the crowd, Liao Yuan was escorted all the way to the ticket gate by the security personnel at the scene.

Fu Xiaoci quickly took out the electronic invitation letter to verify his identity, and then, under the leadership of the staff, Liao Yuan and others walked to the VIP entrance.

Liang Qingquan, who was in charge of order coordination at the scene, appeared beside Liao Yuan and the others for the first time, stopped Liao Yuan and the others from moving forward, and said with a smile: "Uncle A, there are some things that need to be discussed with you, you come with me here." ”

Fu Xiaoci said strangely: "Mr. Liang, what can't you say now?"

"There is still half an hour before the competition, Miss Fu doesn't have to worry, it's not a bad thing. Liang Qingquan said with a smile.

Liao Yuan sighed and said, "Lead the way." ”

Liang Qingquan nodded with a smile.

Soon, the group walked through the backstage corridor and came to a break room.

Pushing the door in, several brown-haired and blue-eyed white men stood up one by one, one of them was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, with a small mustache, after seeing the A book wearing a mask, he stretched out his hand very enthusiastically to greet him, and took the initiative to greet him in English: "Hi, Uncle A, I'm August Wilde, these are my colleagues, we are from the Viana Music Society." ”

"Hello. Liao Yuan replied.

After the two sides sat down, Liang Qingquan put on the door and took the initiative to leave.

Wilde said happily, "Uncle A, can you reveal your real name?"

Liao Yuan shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, it's not very convenient." ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

Wilde laughed, "We value your talent, not your nationality." ”

After speaking, he took out a golden notebook from his briefcase, took the initiative to open it, and handed it to Liao Yuan: "This is an invitation to the Golden Hall, we would like to invite you to participate in the Asian concert held in the Golden Hall in a month's time." ”

Asian American Concerts?

Liao Yuan was a little curious, took the invitation, and observed it carefully.

Next to him, Fu Xiaoci's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing the words of the Golden Hall: "Are you inviting Uncle A to perform in the Golden Hall?"

"Yes. Wilde said with a smile.

Fu Xiaoci was extremely excited in his heart, but in front of outsiders, he still remained calm, and after Liao Yuan finished reading the invitation, he also took it as soon as possible to check the text of the invitation.

"Dear Asdfghj, a concert for Asian musicians co-organized by 16 Asian countries will be held at the Viana Golden Hall, the capital of music......"

The payment was made by the initiator Naoki Ando.

Fu Xiaoci's eyes lit up, this kind of international-level concert, he actually invited Uncle A?

"Mr. Ando is optimistic about you, even if you can't win the championship of the One Emperor and Four Emperors Competition in the end, Mr. Anten also said that there will be a place for you in the international music industry in the future. Wilde shrugged: "Although I haven't seen the video of your performance, I believe Mr. Ando." ”

"Who is Ando?" Liao Yuan asked again.

Now it was Wilde's turn to be stunned, "Naoki Ando, don't you know each other?"

Fu Xiaoci was also a little confused: "I'm a little familiar." ”

Wilde said with a smile: "Naoki Ando, Japan's premier grand pianist, is known as a musical giant in the Japanese music scene, is fifty-seven years old, and his existence has left many well-known classic works for the world music scene over the past decades, and is an immortal music treasure." ”

"At the same time, Mr. Ando is also the only officially recognized foreign member of our Viana Music Association. The colleague next to him added.

Liao Yuan suddenly realized, looked at the address on it, and said, "Okay, if I have time, I will definitely go." ”

Wilde was stunned again, and was speechless for a long time, and finally said: "You must go, and besides, it is better for you to ask other people about Mr. Anten's prestige, his status in the international music scene is very high! For many people, it is an honor to be invited by Mr. Ando! Not to mention, it is still to perform in the world-famous Golden Hall?"

After sending Wilde and the others away, Liao Yuan handed the golden invitation book in his hand to Fu Xiaoci: "You take it." ”

"You're not going?"

Fu Xiaoci licked her lips expectantly: "That's the technical hall, ah, the stage that all the performers want to be on the most." ”

Liao Yuan said with a smile: "You can pay attention to it, but you can't pay too much attention to it, the most important thing now is this semi-final performance, I just learned the rules of the semi-finals, three wins in five games, I am not sure of winning." ”

"What are you afraid of?" Fu Xiaoci pouted: "Didn't you hear that gringo say? Whether you win the championship or not, you are eligible to perform in the Golden Hall, haha, speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen this kind of thing, it's really rare." ”

Liao Yuan shook his head, turned around and walked towards the infield.

The five-permanent three-win system is not only about the ability to innovate, but also about personal performance skills.

The performer must have some basic qualities of a grand pianist, even if it is not comparable to the palace-level performers in the world's five major concert halls, but at least it must reach the real performance level.

In this regard alone, almost every player who has won the top 10 players today has the strength of a quasi-performance level.

If you prepare in advance and simply perform, each of the ten contestants can perform on the most perfect stage.

But now it is true that improvisation, but also to consider innovation, too simple is definitely not good, but too difficult works, let alone other players, even Liao Yuan, do not dare to guarantee that there will be no mistakes, and every time it goes wrong, it will be a disaster that cannot be ignored.

In particular, there are six top pianists in the industry, even if it is only a slight mistake, it will be corrected clearly.

When Liao Yuan, Fu Xiaoci and two bodyguards appeared on the big stage, the entire venue was already full.

With 18,000 seats on two floors, it is almost full.

When every audience saw Liao Yuan, they would enthusiastically stretch out their hands to shake each other, but fortunately, with the cover of Wang Yue and Xing Tao, the four of them walked all the way to the guest seat.

Liang Qingquan walked over at the right time and asked with a smile, "Are you done talking?"

"That's it. Liao Yuan nodded.

Liang Qingquan exclaimed: "Uncle A, I didn't expect you to attract the attention of Austrian musicians, this is a good thing! Come on! I wish you the championship!"

Liao Yuan nodded and said, "Thank you." ”

Soon, the audience was seated one after another, and the game officially began.

It is still the practice of drawing lots.

After a tense draft, everyone drew their opponents.

Liao Yuan's opponent is called Zuo Yongsi, a professional pianist from a Hong Kong opera house, thirty-four years old, wearing a white suit, the overall image is neither humble nor arrogant, even if he knows that his opponent is the famous Liao Yuan, he is neither humble nor arrogant, without too much emotional exposure, just glanced at Liao Yuan, and then there was no other action.

"The madman Ah Zuo is very famous in Hong Kong and the Chinese music scene. ”

Fu Xiaoci whispered to Liao Yuan: "The second place in the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan competition area, the third place in the knockout round, the strength is very strong, and I have many years of experience in performing in the opera house, you have to be careful!"
