Since Via didn't immediately agree to Catherine's enrollment, she naturally didn't pose a threat to the others, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time guessed her identity. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There were more and more candidates, and other teachers arrived.
Via's refusal to "occupy" other people's examination rooms was no longer good, and she said goodbye to Catherine, who was reluctant to go, and walked out of the back door of the small hall with Dick and Miss Mary.
Vanessa immediately caught up and saw them go upstairs, she was about to follow, and a candidate called out to her, "It's almost a lottery, you still dare to run around?" ā
Vanessa stopped, suppressed the resentment in her heart, and turned to face the others with a smile on her face.
Probably with the stimulation of Via's performance, in the third round of assessment of the piano department, several candidates who had previously performed mediocre performed exceptionally, and were highly praised by Catherine and successfully obtained the admission qualification of the college.
And among them is Vanessa.
Wei Ya still focuses on it, after all, she can't use two things, since she signed up for this competition, she naturally has to go all out.
At Dick's suggestion, Viagh created an account on social networking sites, and Viagh named her username "lan", because "Via", the French name of the rotten street, has been registered, and even if you add a surname, there are a lot of people with the same name and surname. She wrote on her bio: I'm Via Levitt, her avatar is a cow with a bell on it, and she has uploaded some videos about her on the Internet.
Via's account is unverified and looks a lot like a fake, so her follower count is less than a hundred so far.
Someone left her a message, mostly the content:
"Are you really Via? (skeptical expression)"
"Another liar posing as a celebrity."
"Didn't anyone report you?"
......
Of course, there are also a very small number of kind messages:
"I love your songs, and I will support you."
"My friend and I are in Paris, and we are waiting for you here."
"My name is xxx, I'm from xxx, can I make friends with you?"
.....
Dick said these people were her fans.
Fans are really a new feeling for Via.
Two days later came the day of the second round of selection. Five of the 20 players will be selected for this round of selection, the top five in the Zurich region, who will travel to Paris for the semi-finals.
Via's woke up before six o'clock in the morning, and the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was to look at her phone, and she saw two unread messages in her inbox.
The first message came from Manina, sent at half past twelve last night, and it read: "I'm so excited that I can't sleep, I'm just waiting to see you on TV tomorrow." ā
Via couldn't help but laugh, she seemed to be able to see the happy smile on Manina's face.
The second message came from an unfamiliar number.
Via opened the second text message, which contained only one short word,
"Come on."
She stared at the word, and for a moment it seemed as if something had touched her nerves, and she immediately dialed the phone, which rang twice and was connected.
The other party didn't speak, and she didn't speak, but the smile on her face grew bigger and bigger.
"How did you guess it was me?" Theo laughed on the other end of the phone.
"Intuition, the intuition that only your girlfriend will have, you are still playing tricks with me, and you don't tell me when you buy a mobile phone."
"I just got it yesterday, try the function first."
"Hmph, so just send me one word? It's too perfunctory. ā
"What do you want me to post?"
Via was suddenly stopped by Theo, and she returned to her lingering question,
"At least you should say you miss me a lot."
After saying that, she heard Theo's chuckle, "If I say 'I miss you' every day, it's probably just 'thinking of you' instead of 'missing you', let alone 'I want to see you'." ā
The corners of Via's mouth turned up slightly, maybe Theo's words were not so flattering, but she just couldn't help but feel happy, and her heart was as sweet as honey.
Since Via and Dick came to Zurich, Theo has become John's most effective helper, John plans to take advantage of the spring to expand the ranch, he needs carpentry, wood to build a scaffolding, someone needs a bulldozer, with Theo's help, he can save a lot of money.
Therefore, after Theo patrolled the mountains and forests early in the morning, he would go to their ranch to help.
Via asked him, "Are you ready to go?" ā
Theo hummed, "Just finished breakfast." ā
"It's not quite dawn yet, you should get a little more sleep."
"Didn't you sleep too?"
"In less than three hours, I'm going to compete on stage, and there are only five out of twenty people, and I'm not nervous, I just can't sleep anyway, oh yes, I'm going to sing a new song today, called "First Kiss".
The breathing on the other end paused for half a second, but it was a pity that Via couldn't see Theo's reddened ears, and she continued, "Remember, this is the song I wrote for both of us. ā
Hanging up the phone, Theo took his kit and walked out of the house.
At that time, the morning sun had just risen, and the sunlight slowly reflected through the clouds, reflecting on the pastures below the mountain, and the blue and yellow meadows were full of small wildflowers in early spring.
Theo looked up inadvertently, and through the faint light, he seemed to see the girl wearing a floral apron, holding a bouquet of flowers, waving to him with a smile.
He sighed,
Who said he didn't want her?
Coming to the TV station again, Wei Ya didn't expect that there were still many people gathered at the door, and the other players were all eliminated?
As a result, when she and Dick got out of the taxi, I don't know who shouted, "It's Via, Via's here." ā
As soon as the words fell, a group of young people suddenly swarmed and surrounded the two of them, but fortunately, Teacher Mary got out of the car from the other side and "escaped".
"Via, Via, I'm your fan, can I give you a hug?" A girl said excitedly.
"I love your and your brother's music so much."
"I'm your supporter."
......
Via was completely stupid.
The phones that were taking pictures of her and Dick were just a record of her stupidity.
At this time, the security personnel of the TV station came to maintain order and helped Via and Dick enter the building smoothly, and Viya heard one security guard muttering to the other, "It's the first time I've met someone who became famous so quickly, and this is the first round of the competition, and there are fans." ā
In fact, the crowd outside the square had supporters and friends of other players, but there were not as many supporters as Via.
Teacher Mary went straight to the auditorium, while the staff took Via and Dick to the dressing room. From this round onwards, the entire tournament will be recorded and broadcast in its entirety on TV, and it is not possible for the contestants to go on stage without makeup.
The dressing room was full at this time, and three or four makeup artists were shuttling around.
The staff told Dick to put the guitar aside.
Dick refused, "I'm going to carry it." ā
After all, open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend, and even rural performances have people calculating them, let alone this kind of large-scale competition?
But Dick's attitude is arrogant in the eyes of others, and there is no one in his eyes.
"Snort, I really thought I was famous with a song."
The taunt came from a young girl sitting in a make-up chair in front of Via, she looked about the same age as Via, her brown hair was very short, shorter than Dick's, the makeup artist gave her very cool punk makeup, she was dressed with a personality, a wolf head painted on her fat hoodie, a silver skull necklace around her neck, and headphones in her ears.
She looked away at Via's gaze.
Via's and Dick's makeup is separated. Via's fair and plain skin was covered with foundation and blush, which made it look smoother and more perfect, and the makeup artist did not put on her heavy eyeliner, only applied bright colors to her lips, and used a curling iron to make her hair slightly curl, half of it was spread out, half tied in the back, and it was coiled in a circle casually, which was fresh and elegant like a famous lady.
"Do you want to change your clothes?" The makeup artist asked her.
Viagra wore a pair of light blue denim pencil pants and a beige shirt today, and the jacket was placed in the clothes storage area before entering the door.
The makeup artist felt that she was more suitable for wearing a skirt.
Via looked at herself in the mirror and said to the makeup artist, "No, I'll wear this." ā
The order of the competition is according to their results in the first round, with 20th place coming in first place and so on, while Via is the first place finisher, the finale.
While waiting in the background, Dick complained vigorously,
"It's so uncomfortable to put these things on my face, what kind of makeup do I wear as a man."
Viagra snickered,
Dick spent all day in the sun and rain on the ranch, his skin was a healthy wheat color, and the makeup artist painted his face very white, and matched it with all the lipstick, it was a completely zombie face. However, looking at the other male contestants, Wei Ya thinks that makeup artists are probably not too concerned about men's makeup.
The requirements for recording the show are much stricter than before, each contestant has to stand in a specific position on the stage so that four cameras can give a full range of shots, the stage is full, all the audience is full, and at the front are the seats of the two judges, the judges are still Mr. Howard and Ms. Amanda.
There is no host, when the time comes, the contestants themselves walk on stage, in the face of this formal occasion, the first few contestants are a little stage frightened, sing out of tune, sing the wrong words, and leave in a gray manner, and in the back, the contestants tend to play normally.
Via's surprise was that the girl who had spoken out to her earlier would be in the nineteenth appearance, that is, she was the second in the first round.
Via saw her name, Cherry Emy, French.
Cherry took the guitar on stage, didn't say hello to the judges, didn't say half a word of nonsense, and the violin began to play, "I smoked the last cigarette, drank the last sip of wine, whatever the road after the end of the world, I enjoyed this last day first......"
Cherry's singing style is two extremes with Via, if Viya is a good girl, then she is a rebellious girl, her hoarse voice is a little cold, a little irritable, as if this can vent the pressure on her body.
Via saw Amanda nodding incessantly, and Mr. Howard's expression was also very satisfied.
At the end of the piece, Cherry plucks the strings wildly, and the sound soars to the highest level, causing the audience to scream.
Then she stopped abruptly, bowed to the two judges without breathing, and walked off the stage with a big grin, just in time to meet Via and Dick, who were about to go on stage.
As they passed by, Via heard her say,
"I should be the first one this time."
"Oh, what a big breath," Cherry mocked himself before, and Dick was of course very unhappy, but a good man doesn't fight with a woman, so he can only endure it.
Via didn't speak, looking at Cherry's back, and for no reason felt that this girl should be a very interesting person.
As soon as Via and Dick appeared, the audience burst into applause. When Via saw the young men who had surrounded them, she sat in the front row and waved to them.
"What song are you going to sing today? Is it an original or a cover? Amanda asked her with a smile.
"Original, called "First Kiss"."
"Can we get started now?"
Via nodded.
In her previous position, she stood in the middle and Dick stood in the back.
Waiting for the prelude to sound, Viagra opened her mouth and sang:
"On that day, I plucked up my courage,
To say to you, I like you,
In the shadow cast by the tree,
You kiss my forehead,
Your eyes are the scenery in my eyes,
I give you my heart together,
Write music for you,
Me and you melted in love.
......ā
Via's voice was as sweet and beautiful as ever, and everyone on the scene seemed to be brought into their first love, which was the sprout of love, pure, simple, but heart-pounding.
Even Mr. Howard was in a trance for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he looked at Via and smiled for the first time of the day. There is a kind of magic in this child's singing, which can touch people's hearts.
The photographer gave Viya countless close-ups.
Cherry stood backstage with her arms crossed, staring at the girl on the stage, listening carefully to the whole song, there seemed to be a touch of emotion in her eyes, but she gently "cut" at the end.
At the end of the performance, the audience applauded thunderously, and everyone stood up and applauded.
