There are still more than five hours before the Spring Festival Gala will start, and Liu Dongsheng, as the chief director, should be the busiest person here, but at this time, he pulled Zhang Wei to sit on the backstage equipment box, and briefly explained to Zhang Wei why he wanted Zhang Wei to perform magic.

The magic of this year's Spring Festival Gala chose a well-known magician on Bay Island, and this magician also arrived in Yanjing a week in advance in accordance with the requirements of the Spring Festival Gala program group, and found a hotel to live in, and there were no problems during the rehearsal and stage, but just last night, the magician fell in the bathroom because he was taking a bath, and there was no major problem, but at that time, his right forearm on the ground was fractured, and in this case, he couldn't complete the magic at all. According to the process of the Spring Festival Gala, there is also a spare magic program available, this program was submitted for review by a well-known magician in Xiangjiang, but when the program team notified the alternative magician to come to the TV station quickly, he was told by his agent that the magician took a plane back to Xiangjiang yesterday morning to accompany his family, and he could not be contacted at this time.

Now the program team is numb, while complaining about the magician in Xiangjiang, while quickly reporting the situation to the chief director, Liu Dongsheng was furious when he found out, but the matter was already like this, and it was useless to be angry, so he urgently notified several other magicians who were also sent for review, but these few were not in Yanjing, and there was a local magician in Yanjing who also decided to travel abroad with his family because he was hopeless to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, and he was abroad at this time.

A morning passed, but two magicians arrived, but their magic is really not good, and the requirements of the Spring Festival Gala are not half a star, but there is a magic show in the Spring Festival Gala that has formed a routine, if there is no magic show in the past, this is a major mistake in the work, at this time, a cameraman in the station talked about Zhang Wei's magic, and then there was a scene where Deputy Director Su went to find Zhang Wei.

Director Liu roughly explained the cause and effect of the matter, and then said earnestly: "Mr. Zhang, this is the case, so tonight's magic show depends on you, now there are more than five hours before the Spring Festival Gala starts, I will give you three and a half hours to arrange the content of the program and prepare props, I know that the time is relatively tight, you try to string your magic tricks, add some words, what needs we must find a way to meet, okay?" I only have two requirements for the program, one is that it must be as wonderful as the magic trick just now, which is eye-catching, and the second is that the time of the program content must support at least eight minutes and thirteen seconds, otherwise there will be a mistake in the time. I'll pre-check it in three and a half hours, and I'll be pretty good at it, I know it's hard to do, but I can't help it, and I hope you can get through it. ”

Zhang Wei asked: "The magic show is fine, but I also have a singing show, what should I do?"

"It's okay, I'll make some adjustments to the show, after you finish singing, I'll ask the host to stop you and make a foreshadowing, and then you cooperate with the host to do a continuous performance, so that everyone feels that the show was originally arranged like this, and it's okay to ensure its integrity. Don't worry, there will be no problem on the host's side, and if your show is okay later, I will leave you two half an hour to roughly correct the words. Speaking of this, Director Liu raised his hand and looked at his watch, and continued: "Now there are five hours and twenty-six minutes before the start of the broadcast, I will ask Director Su and Xiao Fang to stay and cooperate with you, just tell them what you need, I will go to work first, and I will come to watch the show in three and a half hours." ”

To tell the truth, it is basically not difficult for Zhang Wei to make a magic trick of more than eight minutes, and the time for a close-up magic trick is usually about one minute when performing on stage, and if you add the design of language and physical performance, it can be expanded to about three minutes, and the large-scale magic trick on the stage depends on the situation, but it also takes four or five minutes. Zhang Wei considered that it would definitely be too late for him to design lines and physical performance time now, so he tried to use the magic itself to support the time, so that in this calculation, only two small magic tricks and a relatively large magic trick were enough.

After Director Liu left, Zhang Wei sat still and thought about it for about half an hour, and the idea of a complete magic show was formed in Zhang Wei's mind.

"Director Su, I've already conceived my magic trick, I need some props now, I have to trouble the program team to help me prepare it quickly. Zhang Wei spoke to Deputy Director Su and Xiao Fang, who had been waiting silently on the side.

As soon as Director Su heard that Zhang Wei had already thought about it, he immediately responded positively: "You say, we will try our best to satisfy." ”

Zhang Wei said: "I already have peach branches, I also need some peach leaves, peach blossoms and a big peach, leaves and peach blossoms can also be fake, but try to use real as much as possible, the big peach must be real, because in my conception this peach is to be distributed to the audience to eat." In the second performance, I need to use a large tray, regardless of the material, and then prepare a large red cloth that can cover the tray, three sugar cane, three sugar cane roots, three trays of fruit candy and a fruit knife. For the last part of the performance, I need to use two blank scrolls, the kind used in ancient China, and then prepare a table, some brushes and oil paints, as well as a roll of clear fishing line, a small bottle of gasoline and a stack of transparent and colorless plastic bags. That's what I use for my magic tricks, please help me prepare as soon as possible, and then help me prepare a room, I want to contact first, by the way, the roof of this room should be higher. ”

Director Su listened to Zhang Wei's words, frowned slightly, and said: "Everything else is fine, but this gasoline is a bit dangerous, I have to ask Director Liu for this, and how high is the floor height of the room you want?"

Zhang Wei said: "I don't want much gasoline, a mineral water bottle is enough, and I promise that there will be no danger, you can rest assured of this, won't there be an audit later, if you think it's dangerous, let's change it again." As for the height of the room, I think it should be at least seven meters, and it is best to look in this room when Director Liu comes to see it later, otherwise the shock of the third magic trick will not be reflected. ”

"Okay, you wait for me for a while, and I'll do it. Director Su agreed, took Xiao Fang, and called a few staff members to prepare the things Zhang Wei needed.

Usually, the efficiency of these people may not be high, but now is the time to burn the eyebrows, and a group of people found all the props Zhang Wei needed in less than twenty minutes, and coordinated a small studio for Zhang Wei, with a floor height of eight meters, and a lot of space, enough for Zhang Wei to perform. Zhang Wei invited all the staff out, came up and began to paint on one of the two blank scrolls, with oil paint, with a brush on the scroll to draw a picture with a Chinese classical style of the fire phoenix soaring above the nine heavens, this fire phoenix is mainly golden, the phoenix crown, wings and tail feathers are rendered in golden bone fire red, the periphery of the fire phoenix is surrounded by red flames, and the body is surrounded by red auspicious clouds, and the eyes are painted with classical "fire patterns", which makes this fire phoenix handsome and extraordinary, as if it is always going to leap out of the painting and soar.

After painting this painting, Zhang Wei began to try to use his own magic, and completed the magic trick he conceived, the process was much smoother than expected, Zhang Wei used his mobile phone to jam the time, and after practicing both sides, he could already accurately control it in eight minutes and thirteen seconds, and then cleaned up the things on the stage, opened the door, and asked Deputy Director Su to inform Director Liu, saying that his magic had been completed, and let Director Liu come and see.

"So fast, do you want to get familiar with it again?" Deputy Director Su was a little surprised, Director Liu gave three and a half hours to be nervous enough, but Zhang Wei only took more than an hour to claim that it could be reviewed, and there was still time to find props, so Deputy Director Su was a little worried about the quality.

Zhang Wei said confidently: "No problem, you let Director Liu come over." ”

Deputy Director Su saw that Zhang Wei was full of confidence, so he told Director Liu about the situation on this side through the walkie-talkie.

Five minutes later, Director Liu led five or six people to the door of the small studio in a hurry, and as soon as he saw Zhang Wei, he asked directly: "Mr. Zhang, I heard that your show is arranged?"

"Well, except for the part of interacting with the host, everything else is done, let you come and check it out. ”

"Huh, you're so efficient, I brought Miss Zhu too, just so you can practice cooperating, but let's watch the magic first." Liu Daobo is not in a hurry to see the effect of the show conceived by Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei nodded, asked everyone to sit in the front row of the small studio, and then began his own performance.

There is no language script, the lines in the magic are improvised by Zhang Wei, the magic is divided into three parts, all the performances are completed in exactly eight minutes and thirteen seconds, the whole magic performance is smooth, it is impossible to see that it is a work created in more than an hour, and the magic effect is magical, especially the paragraph at the end of the end that means "red and hot", which attracted a group of directors and TV leaders who are accustomed to seeing big scenes to exclaim.

After watching Zhang Wei's magic, Director Liu said very excitedly: "Zhang Wei, your show is much better than our original magic, three paragraphs, first of all'Spring Breeze', then 'Sweet Honey', and finally 'Booming', which is completely in line with the atmosphere of our Spring Festival Gala and the New Year, and each paragraph has its own amazing features, it's really amazing, I really didn't expect that you not only sing well, but also have extraordinary attainments in magic. ”

After Director Liu finished speaking, the leaders of the TV station and other assistant directors also praised him, which made Zhang Wei a little embarrassed.

After everyone finished speaking, Director Liu said again: "Zhang Wei, now the time is tight and the task is heavy, I won't say kind words, you practice and cooperate with Miss Zhu first, the script has been designed, you just need to follow the designed book to go through the process, and then perform magic." Let me tell you, as long as you don't get nervous, it's absolutely fine! I'll go to other things first, and I have written down this favor. ”
