Surrounded by crowds, Liao Yuan was escorted all the way to the ticket gate by on-site security personnel.
Fu Xiaoci quickly took out the electronic invitation letter to verify her identity. Then, Liao Yuan and others were led by the staff to the VIP entrance.
Liang Qingquan, who was in charge of order coordination at the scene, immediately appeared next to Liao Yuan and others, stopped Liao Yuan and others from moving forward, and said with a smile: "Uncle A, I need to discuss something with you, please follow me here.
"
Fu Xiaoci asked strangely: "Mr. Liang, what can't you say now?"
"There's still half an hour before the game. Don't worry, Miss Fu. It's not a bad thing." Liang Qingquan said with a smile.
Liao Yuan snorted and said, "Lead the way."
Liang Qingquan smiled and nodded.
Soon, the group of people passed through the backstage corridor and came to a lounge.
Pushing the door open, several white men with brown hair and blue eyes stood up one by one. One of them, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes with a small mustache, saw the masked book A and reached out to say hello very enthusiastically.
, took the initiative to greet in English: "Hi, Uncle A, I am August Wilde, these are my colleagues, we are from the Vienna Music Association."
"Hello." Liao Yuan replied.
After both parties sat down, Liang Qingquan closed the door and left on his own initiative.
Wilde said happily: "Uncle A, could you please reveal your real name?"
Liao Yuan shook his head and said, "Sorry, it's not very convenient."
"It doesn't matter."
Wilde smiled and said: "What we value is your talent, not your nationality."
After speaking, he took out a golden book from his briefcase, opened it on his own initiative, and handed it to Liao Yuan: "This is an invitation letter from the Golden Hall. We would like to invite you to participate in the Asian Games held by the Golden Hall in one month.
Special concert performance for Asian Americans.”
Asian concert?
Liao Yuan was a little curious, took the invitation, and observed it carefully.
Next to her, Fu Xiaoci's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard the words "Golden Hall": "Are you inviting Uncle A to perform at the Golden Hall?"
"Yes." Wilde said with a smile.
Fu Xiaoci was extremely excited inside, but she still remained calm in front of outsiders. After Liao Yuan read the invitation, he took it immediately and went to check the text of the invitation.
"Dear asdfghj, a special concert for Asian musicians jointly organized by 16 Asian countries will be held at the Golden Hall of Vienna, the music capital..."
The signature is the founder Naoki Ando.
Fu Xiaoci's eyes lit up. Uncle A was invited to such an international-level concert?
"Mr. Ando is optimistic about you. Even if you fail to win the One Emperor and Four Emperors Competition in the end, Mr. Ando also said that you will definitely have a place in the international music world in the future." Wilde shrugged: "Although I haven't seen your performance yet.
Play video, but I trust Mr. Ando.”
"Who is Ando?" Liao Yuan asked again.
This time it was Wilde's turn to be stunned, "Naoki Ando, don't you recognize him?"
Fu Xiaoci was also a little confused: "It sounds familiar to me."
Wilde said dumbfounded: "Naoki Ando, Japan's leading grand pianist, is known as a music giant in the Japanese music scene. He is already fifty-seven years old. Over the past few decades, his existence has left a legacy for the world's music scene.
He has created many familiar classic works and is an immortal treasure in the music world."
"At the same time, Mr. Ando is also the only officially recognized foreign member of our Vienna Music Association." The colleague next to him added.
Liao Yuan suddenly realized it, looked at the address above, and said: "Okay, if I have time, I will definitely go."
Wilde was stunned again, without saying anything for a long time, and finally said: "You must go, and you'd better ask other people about Mr. Anten's prestige. His status in the international music scene is very high! For many people
It’s an honor to be invited by Mr. Ando! What’s more, it’s to perform in the world-famous Golden Hall?”
After seeing off Wilde and others, Liao Yuan handed the golden invitation book in his hand to Fu Xiaoci: "Take it."
"You're not going?"
Fu Xiaoci licked her lips in anticipation: "That's the technical hall, ah, the stage that all performers most want to be on."
Liao Yuan said with a smile: "You can take it seriously, but you can't take it too seriously. The most important thing now is the semi-final performance. I just learned the rules of the semi-finals. It's three wins out of five. I'm not sure of winning."
"What are you afraid of?" Fu Xiaoci pouted: "Didn't you hear what that foreigner said? No matter whether you win the championship or not, you are qualified to perform in the Golden Hall. Haha, speaking of it, this is the first time I have seen such a thing.
, so rare.”
Liao Yuan shook his head, turned around and walked towards the infield.
The Wuchang Three Wins System not only tests innovative ability, but also personal performance skills.
The performer must possess some basic qualities of a grand pianist. Even if he cannot compare with the top performers in the world's five major concert halls, he must at least reach a true performance level.
In this aspect alone, almost every player among the top ten players today has quasi-performing level strength.
If you prepare in advance and simply perform, each of the ten players will be able to perform on the most perfect stage.
But now we are really improvising, and we have to consider innovation. Too simple will definitely not work, but if the work is too difficult, let alone other players, even Liao Yuan cannot guarantee that there will be no mistakes, and every time he makes a mistake, it will be
A disaster that cannot be ignored.
In particular, there are six top pianists in the industry on site, and even if they make a slightly wrong note, they will be clearly corrected.
When Liao Yuan, Fu Xiaoci and two bodyguards appeared on the big stage, the entire venue was already full of people.
There are 18,000 seats on the upper and lower floors, almost all seats are occupied.
When every audience member saw Liao Yuan, they would extend their hands to shake hands enthusiastically. Fortunately, with the protection of Wang Yue and Xing Tao, the four of them walked all the way to the guest seats.
Liang Qingquan came over at the right time and asked with a smile: "Are you done talking?"
"The conversation is over." Liao Yuan nodded.
Liang Qingquan praised: "Uncle A, I didn't expect you to attract the attention of Austrian musicians. This is a good thing! Come on! I wish you win the championship!"
Liao Yuan nodded and said: "Thank you."
Soon, the audience took their seats one after another, and the game officially began.
It is still the practice of drawing lots.
After a tense draft, everyone drew their respective opponents.
The opponent Liao Yuan drew was called Zuo Yongsi. He was a professional pianist from an opera house in Hong Kong. He was thirty-four years old and wore a white suit. His overall image was neither humble nor overbearing. Even when he knew that his opponent was the famous Liao Yuan, he was neither humble nor overbearing.
, did not show too much emotion at all, just looked at each other with Liao Yuan, and made no other actions.
"Crazy Zuo is very famous in Hong Kong and the Chinese music scene."
Fu Xiaoci whispered to Liao Yuan: "Second in the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan competition, third in the knockout round, he is very strong and has many years of experience in opera performances. You should be careful!"
