Chapter 211 The Clown Wins!
Palais Garnier.

He Xiao's song "Flight of the Bumble Bee" made everyone feel a heartfelt shock.

Many audience members stood up and exclaimed, looking at the stage in disbelief.

In the corner of the front row where no one could notice, the unicorn's fists under the cuffs were gradually clenched, and sweat began to flow from his forehead.

He Xiao's work really brought him pressure.

Although Unicorn is a piano genius, his personal playing style tends to be romantic. Many of his original music are also light music. Ethereal and aesthetic are his best themes.

So compared to "Flight of the Bumble Bee", he is really not very good at it, at least he has never created a similar song.

Therefore, when the topic first appeared, he already felt the difficulty. Now when he heard He Xiao's performance, the pressure directly multiplied by tons, like a mountain oppressing him so hard he couldn't breathe.

"The styles that a person can master are limited, how can he be so comprehensive?"

The unicorn swallowed his saliva, looking at the performer who was watching the audience on the stage, his heart was extremely complicated.

"Croatian Rhapsody", "Summer", "Super Technique Etude"... Looking at the road of Red Face's performance, the style can be described as extremely heterogeneous. It seems that there is no one who can't do it without him.

It is not surprising that a person can achieve the ultimate in one field, but if he can do so in every field, he is a monster.

In the face of monsters, no one can act calmly, even the unicorn, who is the darling of the times, feels great pressure coming to him.

The melody on the stage became more and more urgent. The man who performed was solemn and solemn, and he was completely absorbed in it, without distraction. Even if someone stole something from his pocket at this time, he would not find out.

This is the performance of concentration to the extreme.

Obviously, even for He Xiao, there is pressure when playing the piano piece "Flight of the Bumblebee", and he cannot be distracted.

After all, this is one of the most famous speed streaming piano pieces in the world of black phones!

Some people say that it is one of the ten most difficult songs in the world, and it is extremely difficult to control without ten-level techniques. It was originally in the first scene of the third act of the opera "The Story of King Satan" written by the Russian composer Rimsky Korsakov. Interlude performed by orchestra.

Later, the famous pianist Maxim, who is known as the master-killer, reinterpreted the original classical version, making this witty orchestral ditty break away from the original opera form and become a popular song that is often played in concerts. It is also one of the fastest piano pieces in the world.

The version performed by He Xiao is not Maxim's, but Shen Wenyu's faster version, which is the fastest "Flight of the Bumble Bee" in the world.

He is a well-deserved piano genius, and even some European musicians call him "Mozart No. [-]", which shows how powerful his talent on the piano is.

The speed of He Xiao's version is similar to that of Shen Wenyu's version, which is enough to play the entire piece within 1 minute.

That kind of feeling sounds like the original piano music is played at twice the speed.

That's why the audience and judges were so shocked, they all stood up and watched.

"God! I feel like my skin is getting goosebumps!"

"I saw afterimages!"

"It feels like being stung by a wasp!"

"..."

All kinds of low-pitched exclamations sounded from time to time in the corners of the hall.

This song "Flight of the Wild Bee" is just like its name, and the artistic conception of the whole piece is to describe the scene of wild bees fluttering their wings.

Because it is not an independent famous song, it evolved from an opera at first, and this opera is adapted from a novel by Russian writer Pushkin.

The story is probably relatively simple, like most European fairy tales, full of court battles and mythology.

It is said that after King Satan married Militarisa, one of her two older sisters worked as a weaver in the palace and the other as a cook, but the two older sisters were jealous of her and determined to kill her.

Soon, Militellisa became pregnant, and King Satan was unable to see the birth of the little prince because of his expedition. The two sisters wrote letters to King Satan, falsely accusing the queen that the queen gave birth to a monster, and King Satan listened. Slander, put his queen and youngest son in a jar and exile in the ocean.

Fortunately, the mother and son were safe and sound. Eighteen years later, the little prince grew up and used magic to transform himself into a wild bee to seek revenge on his two aunts.

It can be said to be a very simple bedtime story, no different from hundreds of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, the only difference is that it derived a world-famous difficult piano piece "Flight of the Bumble Bee".

The ultra-fast melody resounded in the halls of the Paris Opera House, and He Xiao once again proved his strength to the world.

"Boom-"

As the last piano sound was pressed, He Xiao looked at the mobile phone placed aside, and the time displayed on the timer was 40.8 seconds.

Little Mozart Shen Wenyu's fastest record was 39.9 seconds, which took "Flight of the Bumblebee" to a new height, while He Xiao's result was close to Shen Wenyu's.

The difference between the two is only one second.

After rubbing his sore knuckles, He Xiao stood up, looked at the audience, and bowed to express his thanks.

The people in the audience didn't react at all.

"This...is this the end?"

"what's the situation?"

"Isn't it a cut-down version?"

A group of people looked at each other in blank dismay.

It took only 40 seconds to complete the performance of a piano piece, which was unprecedented on the entire Isabella stage.

Even the judges reacted in the same way, looking at each other, feeling overwhelmed.

Compared with the laymen of the audience, they can better understand how high the gold content of He Xiao's "Flight of the Bumblebee" is.

Because of the large number of syllables in it, it is indeed enough to support a piece of music that often exceeds 3 minutes, and it is not an abridged version.

The music of more than three minutes was compressed and performed in 40 seconds. It is self-evident how difficult it is.

This round of red face really showed the topic of "speed" to the extreme, and no one dared to say "poor".

"That kid is too ruthless!"

In the auditorium, the chubby puffer fish gasped, and then looked at the unicorn with sympathy.

He seems to know unicorns very well and knows what the other party is good at. Unicorns are really not suitable for performances like this kind of extremely fast music.

The unicorns are about to lose this round!

"It seems that the battle of champions will be decided between the red face and the clown..."

Fugu murmured in a low voice, as if he had already seen through the next situation in his words. As for why the clown must be fighting with the red face instead of him, perhaps only he knew the answer.

in front of the piano.

After He Xiao gave the gift, Shi Shiran stepped down.

After performing the song "Flight of the Bumble Bee", He Xiao suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and was no longer as nervous as before.

There is no need for judges to score in the overtime game. After all the players in the two rounds have performed, the judges will discuss together and directly give the result of the outcome.

The unicorn came to the stage under a lot of pressure, and came to the center step by step. After taking two deep breaths, he nodded his head to announce the curtain call.

Surprisingly, the unicorn compromised.

He let go of his pride and no longer performed original repertoire this round, but played a long-established top ten most difficult piano pieces in the world.

Deduce it in a wilder way than Panda's "Memories of Hughes", with fingers flying like flying, using the fastest speed in his life to fight against He Xiao's "Flight of the Bumblebee".

After 1 minute, the show ends.

As he said, he is really not suitable for this type of music. Although it is quite scary to perform one of the world's top ten famous songs in one minute, it surpasses 1% of the pianists in the world, but if you laugh with He Xiao Compared with the 90.00 seconds, it is still inferior.

The result was clear, the unicorns lost.

In a glorious defeat, he ended his journey in the Isabella Cup.

Faced with the question, the unicorn chose to reveal its face.

Unsurprisingly, the face under the mask is none other than Sean, who always ranks No.1 on the official website.

At this moment, whether it was in front of the TV or at the scene, there were sighs.

Many people think that Sean can win the championship, and at the worst, he can make it to the finals. Who would have thought that he, who has always been invincible, would regret leaving in the semifinals?
For a while, there was quite a feeling of being a hero.

There are indeed too many regrets left on this stage.

The black wolf, the panda, the owl...these were the ones who were supposed to go to the end, but they were out of the game early by mistake.

He Xiao also had mixed feelings. He hugged Sean for a long time on stage. This is a respectable opponent.

At the same time, the news of the red face's victory spread all over the Internet.

Red-faced supporters are quite excited.

As the saying goes, you won't show off until there is residual blood, and you don't take it seriously until overtime. The red face's brilliant performance in the second game has attracted countless fans.

"Red face is too tough!"

"The red-faced hands are burning hot!"

"From now on, my face will be red forever!"

The entire dormant network seemed to be alive with this round of overtime between the red faces and the unicorns.

At the same time, the first round of semi-finals was so exciting, which indirectly led to the second round of the competition. Countless netizens are looking forward to the duel between the clown and the puffer fish.

However, what is surprising is that the duel between the clown and the puffer fish was not as dazzling as expected.

In less than 10 minutes, the match between the two was over, and the clown won with an overwhelming score.

Compared with the blitz and the unicorn, the clown and the puffer fish are so simple and abrupt that people are caught off guard.

"Is the blowfish too weak?"

Everyone felt incredible in their hearts, this experience was too uncomfortable, and they went to watch it with full expectations, but it ended inexplicably.

There is quite a feeling of "you fell before I tried hard".

Even Joker fans couldn't be happier if they wanted to, not at all.

He Xiao wasn't too surprised by this, it's just the daily life of krypton gold players, basic exercises.

I just don't know what kind of tricks the clown will use when facing him in the finals in the afternoon...
