Chapter 204 Ambition
After the competition, He Xiao returned to the hotel.
The next semi-finals, the semi-finals, will be held in two days, and after this semi-finals, there is no time to rest and prepare, and will enter the finals directly in the afternoon.
It can be said that the Isabella Cup event has reached its final climax.
It was like a hurricane that was about to come, circling over the clouds, ready to go.
All media have seized this last opportunity and are frantically compiling articles and reporting, competing for traffic.
The discussions on the Internet are also as enthusiastic. Whether abroad or at home, the Isabella Cup has become a hot topic in the past two days.
At the end of the quarterfinals, He Xiao went to the dinner invited by Field with Yin Miaozhi.
What surprised him was that the dinner in Field was actually a family dinner or a Chinese style.
Field said that after he was old, he liked the culture of China very much and yearned for this ancient oriental country that had been around the world for the longest time. He had also visited Chang'an, Jinling, Yanjing, Hangzhou and other places for travel and long-term residence.
During this period, she was familiar with Chinese history books and studied Chinese culture. Yin Miaozhi was what she met while traveling to Hangzhou City of China.
Today's family dinner was made by beef dumplings made by Field himself.
He Xiao looked at the old figure who was chopping vegetables and chopping stuffing and was stunned. It turned out that after leaving the stage, this piano master was as dull as these all living beings, and was not an eternal and brilliant god.
She was originally a mortal, but the love of the world made her shine.
After fading away the light, she is just like you and me.
After coming back to his senses, He Xiao, as a junior, naturally could not let Field, who was already 80 years old, cook for him, and hurriedly followed him to make dumplings with him.
But Field was unwilling to be idle, and still held a rolling pin and was busy with his legs and feet, not as erect as an old lady.
In the end, He Xiao had no choice but to use the ingredients from Field's home to make another side dish.
There was pork belly and vermicelli mailed from China. He Xiao thought about it and made a famous Northeast dish "Pork Stewed Vermicelli" for the respected master.
As the saying goes, "When stewed with pork with vermicelli, the wild wolf howled so much."
As soon as this dish was served, Field, who had never set foot in the Northeast, suddenly became very fragrant.
As pianists, both sides naturally inevitably talk about some topics about piano during the meal.
He Xiao’s piano skills are learned from videos in black mobile phones, so there are inevitably some inadequate aspects.
In real life, no professional master has taught him. The piano teachers he enrolled in when he was in school were all from small places and did not have much ability.
So He Xiao benefited a lot from talking to a master like Field, and he had a new understanding of the art of piano.
After all, even in the last century when the pianist was like the Jiang Zhiqing, Field was among the best in prestige and technology, and was once regarded as a goddess by the upper class in Europe at that time.
Such a person is a myth of living. He has the ability left in his body. Just shaking it out is enough for ordinary people to benefit for a lifetime.
He Xiao and Field chatted with each other for nearly three hours, exchanged experiences with each other, and gained a lot during this period.
Yin Miaozhi, the little witch who came to the banquet, also learned a lot of skills in playing the piano at the dining table, and listened carefully on his little face.
Perhaps it was because he was bribed by pork stewed with vermicelli, or because he was old and didn't want to leave any regrets, Field did not hide his own personal information and expressed his lifelong insights in the piano field.
If outsiders knew that He Xiao could be so favored by Field, he would definitely be so envious that he couldn't sleep.
After all, Field was the only one who was still alive among the piano masters of the last century. Her influence in the piano world is simply unparalleled.
Until He Xiao came out of Field's house, he was still savoring the knowledge about piano in his mind, which was unprecedented.
That's the difference between a high-level pianist and a normal player.
He needed to digest this knowledge well and transform it into practical skills, so that night he went to the piano shop with Yin Miaozhi and did not go back to the hotel. He stayed up late to practice the piano to confirm some of his thoughts.
Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years.
He Xiao felt this way at this moment.
No matter which industry or career, when an experienced master leads the way, the growth of a newcomer will be twice the result with half the effort.
Although He Xiao is not a newcomer, he is equivalent to a newcomer in front of Field.
After discussing with Field, He Xiao's piano skills improved rapidly again.
Two days of preparation time spent very quickly in practicing piano.
When the game comes this day.
He Xiao felt that he was more confident than before.
Field came too timely, and this teaching made He Xiao feel better before the final.
...
morning.
Inside the hotel.
Almost everyone in He Xiao’s small team did not sleep well.
The semi-finals will be held this morning and the finals in the afternoon. In this case, if you can fall asleep, your heart will be too big.
An invisible pressure and expectation of the unknown permeate everyone's shoulders.
The outside world doesn’t know the true face of blushing, but can the people in the small team still not know?
Red face is not a great European and American god, but a Chinese!
A Chinese who grew up in China!
In the century-old history since the birth of the Isabella Cup, no Chinese player has ever reached the semi-finals, and his best result is only in the quarterfinals.
But just today, an unprecedented Chinese player is preparing to sprint to the semi-finals and reach the finals!
Even winning the championship is unknown.
"That Isabella Cup has been lonely for too long, it is waiting for a master who deserves it!"
In front of the hotel, He Xiao, who was ready to go, was wearing sunglasses, and gently matte the red face mask when he put it in his bag, thinking in his heart.
He Xiao is ambitious.
At first, he just focused on the top 16 of the Isabella Cup, thinking that he could return home with a layer of gold, but now that he is in the semi-finals and when all the honors are close, his thoughts have changed again.
Not only did he want to win the championship, he also wanted to win the trophy hanging high in the Isabella Academy Church!
The arrogant Isabella judges group, based on the principle of evaluating awards based on the actual performance of the contestants, will be vacant if they believe that no one is qualified to win a certain award, and there will be no substitute.
This also led to the highest honor in the entire competition, the special award - the "Isabella Award", which has been unavailable for a century.
For a full century, it has not waited for a player who can pick it away.
So winning the championship is nothing.
Chapter completed!
