Inside the concert hall.
As the host announced the list of those advancing.
"Clap, clap, clap..."
Thunderous applause filled the room.
The eight contestants who had confirmed advancement stood at the front of the stage.
International media reporters frantically pressed their shutters, capturing this moment on stage.
.....
No matter what,
Advancing to the finals of the Xiao Bang International Piano Competition is already considered an impressive resume for young pianists.
Amidst the deafening applause,
Yao Han, standing next to Lin Tian, leaned over and whispered.
"Congratulations, Mr. Lin Tian. From now on, you represent Tian Chao in global piano battles...."
As Yao Han spoke, his gaze remained fixed forward,
"Can a showcase performance count too?"
"Oh, ordinary people don't understand showcase performances....."
Yao Han said half-jokingly, suddenly his gaze sharpens,
"Mr. Lin Tian, do you think you can win the Best Newcomer award?"
"Who knows?"
