Chapter 162: Magic That Started Half a Year Ago (Second Update)
The reason why Chu Ming's performance has attracted a lot of attention is not only because fans of other stars are dissatisfied with him.
The point is that many people believe that his performance falls short of the requirements of this finale.
Because after the finale performance, it is an important part of this party.
On-site fundraising.
Every year, before the charity gala finally ends, a charity fundraiser will be held for the gala, not only the celebrity guests present to fundraise, but also netizens on the Internet to fundraise.
The big screen of the party will show the figure of the amount of donations raised by netizens.
The funds raised will be invested in the next year's public welfare activities.
It can be said that the amount of funds in the final fundraising link can be used as a criterion to measure the success of the charity gala.
Therefore, the importance of the performance program before the annual fundraising link is self-evident.
If this finale performance is exciting, it can mobilize the emotions of the whole audience, and even the national audience.
Allowing them to actively raise funds for public welfare can be regarded as a successful end to the charity gala.
If the performance is very poor, it will not only be criticized by the audience, but may also cause the audience to change the channel or turn off the TV in advance, not to mention the fundraising activities later
However, it is a little embarrassing that although the slogan of the annual charity gala is loud, the final fundraising link is not very effective.
Over the years, the average amount of donations raised by netizens across the country is only about 5 million yuan.
Last year, after the finale was replaced by a popular traffic star, he received 8 million yuan in charitable donations that night.
Many of them are fans of these traffic stars, mobilizing the people around them to carry out public welfare fundraising, so as to have such a good effect.
Therefore, according to last year's experience, if you want to ensure that there are as many fundraising funds as possible at this year's charity gala, choosing traffic stars is the safest way.
But who would have expected that this year's finale performance was not only replaced, but also replaced by a fourth-line magician!
This will naturally cause a big whirlpool of public opinion.
All sorts of insider speculations and comments of collusion, black-box operations, flooded the Internet and newspapers.
Doubts are also overwhelming.
However, although there are many doubts, after this link, the ratings have increased by a large margin.
"It's time for Chu Ming's magic show, and now there's a good show to watch. ”
"Didn't you say you didn't like Chu Ming's show?"
"I'm still not optimistic about his show, so I want to see him make a fool of himself later, and there will be topics for online discussion later. ”
"Me too, I want to see what his performance is about, and why he can squeeze out our Brother Lu Lu. ”
"I don't understand your arguments, but I just heard him scolded all the time, and I wanted to see what his show was like. ”
"If his magic tricks are really very inappropriate, the director of this party will definitely be sprayed to death by netizens!"
This scene was played out on many audiences.
Because of scolding and scolding, Chu Ming's performance became more popular.
People who didn't pay much attention to the magic show and charity gala also turned on their TVs and mobile phones.
Everyone wants to see that the official deliberately arranged Chu Ming for the finale of the charity gala, what are the merits of his performance?
Next, we handed the stage to Chu Ming and welcomed the performance he brought to us. ”
"The Magic of Love. ”
A moment later, after the host reported the curtain, Chu Ming's performance officially began.
There is no flashy opening, no imaginary surprise.
Chu Ming was dressed in a suit, his face was calm, and he walked to the stage with a calm step.
But he seems to be holding something in his hand.
Is there a box, a book, a prop for the performance?
The audience couldn't figure out what it was doing.
Chu Ming had already started his opening remarks.
"The next performance I'm going to do is very special and requires interaction with the guests off the stage. ”
Chu Ming said, picked up the props he brought, walked off the stage, and went to the front row of the guest seats.
The people sitting here are all a type of people with high status at the party, including Wei Lao, Niu Zhong, a famous domestic entrepreneur, Shu Ran, who has top singing skills in the music world, and the person in charge of the Little Angel Love Fund.
Chu Ming took the props and walked to the guest seat while continuing next to him.
"We humans are full of fantasies about magic, and we all want to experience real magic, what is it?"
"And just half a year ago, I experienced a new, real magic. ”
"It changed me forever and my life. ”
Chu Ming put the props in his hand on the table.
He first took out a Rubik's Cube from a box and handed it to Shu Ran.
"Shu Ran, I want to ask you to help me scramble this Rubik's Cube, and disrupt it at will, until I shout to stop, and you stop again. ”
"Okay. Shu Ran took the Rubik's Cube and confirmed that it was an ordinary Rubik's Cube, so he began to scramble the patterns on it at will.
"Thank you. Chu Ming continued to walk to the other side.
"Mr. Niu, in this crayon box, there are twenty-five crayons of different colors, and I immediately scrambled them. Chu Ming showed the chalk inside in front of the camera, and it was indeed of different colors.
Chu Ming closed the lid, and then shook the crayons in the box, disrupting their order.
"I need you, don't look at the crayons in the box, take one out at random, hold it in your hand, don't peek at it, don't let anyone find out. ”
"Okay. The cow nodded.
Chu Ming handed over the messy crayon box, and Niu Zhong didn't look at the crayons, closed his eyes, touched one casually, and held it in his hand.
"Chairman Lee, this is the fifty-two cartoon cards I made, with cartoons of people of all kinds of professions. Chu Ming showed the cards in front of the camera, "I need you now, choose a random card from the back." ”
"It doesn't matter which one you choose, the important thing is that I don't do anything in the process. ”
"I see. The chairman nodded.
Chu Ming turned the back of the card up and spread it out.
Chairman Lee pointed to a card.
Chu Ming placed the card on Chairman Li's palm and asked not to look at the front of the card and keep it.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Ming went back to Shu Ran: "Okay, Shu Ran, you can stop now and hand over the Rubik's Cube in your hand to me." ”
Shu Ran returned a Rubik's Cube that had been very messed up to Chu Ming.
Chu Ming put this Rubik's Cube back into the previous Rubik's Cube box, and then put it in front of Shu Ran, not touching him.
Finally, Chu Ming walked up to Wei Lao and handed him a pen.
"Old Wei, I want to trouble you, the pen is facing up, hold the signature pen, yes, keep it. ”
Wei Lao did so.
Then Chu Ming took out another book and showed it to everyone.
"It's a very ordinary, but somewhat heavy, three or four hundred pages, more than two hundred words. Chu Ming looked at Shu Ran again.
"Shu Ran, can you please close your eyes now, and then I will turn the page, and when you shout to stop, I will also stop turning the book, and select that page, do you hear clearly?"
"Yes, I hear you clearly. Shu Ran closed his eyes.
"So, let's go. Chu Ming began to flip through the book with his fingernails.
"Stop. Shu Ran said.
Chu Ming's movements also stopped, and he just stayed on a certain page in the middle.
Chu Ming spread out the page, did not read the content of the book, and placed the writing side down, directly above the black pen in Wei Lao's hand.
"Old Wei, I put the book directly above the black pen in your hand, and I hope you can draw a circle the size of a coin on this page with a black pen at will without reading the content of the book. ”
Wei Lao did the same, and drew a circle on that page.
Chu Ming handed the book to Wei Lao, and asked with a smile: "Don't show it to me, you can secretly look at it yourself, I want to ask you, did the circle you just drew just just circle a few words?"
Wei Lao took the book, glanced at it, and nodded: "It does circle a few words." ”
"Very good, it's a good start. Chu Ming turned his gaze to Niu Zhong.
"Mr. Niu, now spread out your palms and tell us what color the crayons you just got?"
Niu spread out his palm, and a red crayon appeared in his palm.
"Red. Chu Ming turned to Chairman Li, "President Li, can I ask you, what card did you just draw?"
Chairman Lee also spread out the card, which was painted with a cartoon image of a saluting armed police officer and soldier.
"Shu Ran, next you need to carefully pull out the box covered with the Rubik's Cube in front of you, and show us the pattern at the top of the Rubik's Cube. ”
Shu Ran carefully took the box covered with the Rubik's Cube and took it away, and a messy pattern appeared on the camera.
Everyone was dazzled by Chu Ming's hand.
You open the show for several minutes, and you don't understand what he's trying to perform.
The look and feel of this show is too bad.
Just as the audience was complaining, Chu Ming returned to the stage, stood on the stage, and said to all the audience.
"Actually, my normal magic show process is over here. ”
Audience dissatisfaction has risen.
The show is over, and we still don't understand anything!
The audience was a little emotional, and at this moment, Chu Ming continued.
"However, you may not understand that the beginning of my magic show did not start tonight. ”
"My magic trick started half a year ago. ”
