Chapter 159 "Autumn Whispers"

The scene of the second round of audition.

09:30am.

Not many players came, only a few people.

He Xiao sat on the chair, glanced at the serial number plate in his hand, and couldn't help but took a deep breath. He obviously didn't expect that he would appear so suddenly.

It wasn't too early to come, but I drew a serial number at the front.

On the other hand, Carol, who arrived 10 minutes earlier than him, was still the No. 16 player, which is really a twist of luck.

"Your luck... I really don't know whether to say good or bad."

Carol was also stunned. She didn't expect He Xiao to be so lucky, so she directly made a number ten.

He Xiao could only smile helplessly, and turned to look at the stage.

On the stage at this time, the ninth contestant was struggling to play. He stood up from the chair and sat down for a while, his two palms kept exchanging left and right, and his facial expression also followed, like a rattle from time to time. Shaking a few times, quite intoxicated.

The piece he played, He Xiao, has heard it before. It is a very artistic and famous piece in their world, with a high degree of difficulty.

At least the average person would not dare to play, just for a little bit, this No. [-] contestant is very courageous.

The top [-] opportunity was right in front of him, and he was also uncertain and wanted to give it a try.

After all, it is not easy to survive the first round of audition, and it is really not reconciled to stop the second round of audition.

He Xiao can understand the player's eagerness to advance, but he ignores the difficulty of this piece. The second half is the real high-energy, and the change of the tune is obviously accelerated. Everything collapsed.

Sure enough, when he entered the second half, he immediately seemed a little struggling, and played three wrong syllables in a row, which was a very fatal mistake in the Isabella Piano Competition.

The three judges looked at each other and shook their heads. After waiting for the performers to finish, they announced the results of the elimination.

Even if he made a mistake early, waiting for the performer to finish his performance is the most basic respect for the performer.

The contestant looked lonely and knew that he was not good enough. He bowed to the three judges and left the stage helplessly.

"Let's invite contestant No. [-] to come on stage!"

A staff member next to him announced.

Carol touched He Xiao with her shoulder, and whispered, "It's your turn."

"Well, let's see mine." He Xiao nodded brightly, even though he watched the previous contestant get eliminated, he still didn't panic.

Standing up from his seat, he tidied up his clothes and strode confidently towards the stage.

In an instant, several cameras were pointed at him, and several judges also cast their eyes frequently.

They were very impressed with He Xiao. In the audition seven days ago, He Xiao was the first Chinese contestant to appear. The song "The Street Where the Wind Lives" really surprised many people.

Such an outstanding player, it is too difficult not to remember.

Like fireflies in the dark night, no matter where they are, they are so bright and outstanding.

Therefore, all the eyes of the audience were attracted by He Xiao.

Last time he played "The Street Where the Wind Lives", what kind of piece should he play this time?
Everyone was full of curiosity, and many reporters pointed their guns and short cannons at him.

"Contestant He Xiao, you can start now."

The female judge who has a strong interest in Huaguo still explained to He Xiao in Chinese this time as before.

In fact, she can also speak English. He Xiao's English level is very high now, and he can answer fluently in daily conversations, but the contestants are Chinese, and the judges use Chinese to show a kind of respect.

He Xiao had a good impression of the judge's aunt, so he nodded to her and bowed slightly to thank her.

Then the whole person turned around gracefully and sat in front of the black piano.

With ten fingers resting on the strings, he took a deep breath, remained silent for a second or two, and adjusted his final state.

The next moment, the fingers jumped, and all kinds of beautiful notes burst out.

This is a very ethereal light music, just the beginning, it makes many people's eyes shine.

Putting Buddha back to an autumn full of golden leaves, the whole person became quiet.

"Another original track?"

The three judges looked at each other, apparently none of them could recognize the origin of the song.

As professionals who have been immersed in the industry for many years, they are simply a three-person piano music library, a walking encyclopedia, and they have an understanding of piano music from all over the country.

Even if I dare not say that I can memorize 100% of the world's piano scores, but I know the tune very well.

The work He Xiao performed at this time was just the beginning, full of strangeness. Everyone searched their memories, but they couldn't find any song that could be matched, so they deduced that this was another original song.

"Xiao Heke is really a genius."

Carol looked at He Xiao who was performing calmly on the stage, and her frizzy heart gradually calmed down. Even though she knew that He Xiao had a lot of original piano music in his hand, the feeling of surprise when she actually heard it was still undeniable.

Because He Xiao has one thing that other people can't have, that is, no matter how many original songs he releases, he can guarantee the quality, and there will be no situation of driving high and low.

Although I don't know the name of this song, it is as good as "The Street Where the Wind Lives" performed in the previous episode.

The overall feeling is as if you have traveled to September and October, that comfortable and beautiful autumn.

The golden fallen leaves covered the winding paths of the park, and the door of memory was slowly pushed open, rushing in like a tide.

The three judges each looked dignified, savoring the artistic conception in the song carefully, and the other waiting contestants in the audience also responded, they were all deeply attracted by the ethereal song, as if they were doing a spiritual cleansing.

My heart, which was restless and nervous because of the competition, gradually calmed down.

Sometimes music is full of such indescribable charm, which can affect people's emotions, and can even bring a person who is ashamed of death back to life.

He Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, his body swayed slightly with the melody, and devoted himself to it affectionately, his fingertips were like a gust of wind, flipping and jumping on the piano.

The music reached its climax, and in the rapid tune, everyone's breathing gradually became heavier, as if they saw their own struggle for life.

A gust of noisy wind blows, the fallen leaves dance wildly, rolling up the golden yellow on the ground, all kinds of thoughts also hit, spinning around the whole person.

"This song..."

A reporter holding a SLR camera in the audience was stunned. He was also deeply attracted by the performer's melody and forgot to press the shutter for a moment.

"If the top [-] contend for hegemony, he must be the one!"

Charlie, who met in the last audition, also came to the scene at some point. After hearing He Xiao's performance in the audience, he rubbed his chin and deduced with certainty.

With this piece of music alone, it is impossible for He Xiao not to advance.

Including the three judges, they wrote and drew on their pens, and when they occasionally looked at He Xiao, they were full of complexity.

This Chinese kid really gave people too many surprises. This is already the case during the audition stage. What kind of surprises will the world see when he really steps into the palace of the Paris Opera House?
On the stage.

The sound of the piano gradually faded away.

He Xiao's performance is over.

He turned around, made a gentlemanly salute to the few players and reporters in the infield, and then looked at the judges' bench, waiting for their verdict.

"What's the name of your piano piece...?"

The female judge did not rush to announce the result, but asked urgently with twinkling eyes.

When He Xiao saw this reaction, he knew that there was something to be done in the promotion. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he licked his lips and replied:
"This song is called - "Autumn Whispers"!"
