Chapter 116: An exciting and heartwarming performance
When Zheng Xudong finished performing and unveiled the mystery was the most exciting, he turned to Andrea and said, "You can uncover this tablecloth!"
Andrea's curiosity now is enough to kill a cat, she is standing next to the closest audience to Zheng Xudong, and at the same time, like everyone else, she wants to know what is under this cloth?
It is said that she has been a host on stage for several years, and she has long been able to skillfully deal with various situations on the field, but today because of excitement, her body trembled a little involuntarily, others can't see it, but Zheng Xudong can see it next to her. Andrea still doesn't know what's under the cloth, it's a national TV show, and if the show messes up, how will she deal with it.
When she came to the front of the coffee table, she saw Zheng Xudong smiling at her, adding a little confidence to his performance, her hand slowly grabbed a corner of the tablecloth, and gently pulled the tablecloth back, and the things on the coffee table gradually revealed its true face.
When the tablecloth was all removed, a small black suitcase lay quietly on the coffee table, and everyone who saw this scene was stunned, they could not understand how this little suitcase appeared out of thin air.
Andrea set up the small suitcase, and everyone saw that it was not a suitcase at all, but a black suitcase containing red wine, and the side of the suitcase was printed with the logo of Romanée Conti. She stood on the side of the suitcase and opened the gilded buttons in front of it, like opening a door, and the trunk opened, revealing the red wine and two crystal red wine glasses inside. Seeing this, the audience at the scene spontaneously stood up and applauded.
Zheng Xudong also got up from the sofa and bowed to the audience to thank him! Andrea asked the staff next to her to take down the red wine, open it and bring it up again. After a while, the staff put the red wine in the decanter and brought it up. Zheng Xudong and Andrea sat down on the sofa again, Zheng Xudong poured her a glass of red wine and handed it to her, poured a glass for himself, and then raised his glass and touched her gently, "CHEERS!"
"You have astonished all of us, no one would have believed that you could conjure a bottle of red wine in such a situation, and it was Romanée Conti. Thank you for providing us with a visual feast!" Andrea said after taking a sip of wine, "Sure enough, it's a rare good wine!"
Zheng Xudong took a sip of red wine and said: "Actually, it's nothing, this kind of magic should be relatively simple compared to the Three Immortals Returning to the Cave, if you want to see it, I'll give you another one that's even more incredible, how about it!"
When the audience heard him say this, they all shouted, "One more." One more. At this time, Andrea's headset received a message from the director, telling her that she was now the second best viewer in the country, and that she was trying to surpass the results of ABC that day.
She told Zheng Xudong the news on stage and asked him: "Do you have the confidence to make today's ratings the first in the country?"
Zheng Xudong said with a smile: "I don't dare to say that my show can conquer the audience in the United States, in fact, I am very satisfied with the second rating, which proves that I am not so annoying, so that the American people can still see it!" After speaking, he said to the audience: "I don't look ugly!"
"It's not ugly!" shouted the audience.
"Then am I still handsome!" Zheng Xudong puffed out his cheeks and made scissor hands at the audience and the TV camera.
"Handsome!" his appearance really made the audience like such a versatile big boy very much.
Andrea was also amused by his appearance of pleasing the audience, "What kind of magic trick are you going to perform to open our eyes? You know, you are now voted the greatest magician of the century by major magazines, media, and the Internet in the United States." Because so far, no one has been able to crack the magic you perform, it is you who perform all the magic tricks. ”
He didn't know this, because now his schedule for the day was very full, and he hardly had time to watch the news, so he decided to let Xiaoqiang pay attention to the news from time to time even if he didn't watch it himself.
Hearing Andrea's words, he said: "I really don't know this, I didn't think that anyone would study my magic, let alone call myself the greatest magician, there are many great magicians in the United States, and there are more in the world, they are all worthy of my respect!" Zheng Xudong will not fall into the trap they designed, if he admits that he is the greatest magician, he will face countless challengers every day, just like the first martial arts in ancient China, if he has to fight for that false name to do, he just has a clear conscience.
He stood up and went to the audience, ready to give them a thing that no one had performed until now. Andrea saw Zheng Xudong come to the audience, so she had to follow him to the audience.
Zheng Xudong saw a pair of young men and women sitting in the fifth row of the audience, among which the girl had some snacks in her arms, and the two were eating an apple together, looking very affectionate. Then Zheng Xudong said to the couple, "Can you lend me your snacks?"
The girl obviously didn't expect Zheng Xudong to ask her to assist in the performance, so she was so excited that she couldn't speak, nodded heavily, walked from her seat to the audience and handed him a plastic bag of snacks in her hand, and then came up and hugged Zheng Xudong cordially.
Zheng Xudong smiled and hugged the girl briefly, and said, "Okay, let go, or I'm afraid your boyfriend will come down and beat me!" The sentence made the audience laugh, and the TV camera also looked at her boyfriend who was still in the seat, and the boyfriend also raised his fist and made a "You be careful!" action.
Zheng Xudong took out a packet of unopened puffed food—potato chips—from a small food bag, and then returned the other snacks to the girl and thanked her.
In front of a young woman in her thirties, who was watching the show with a boy of five or six years old, he squatted in front of the boy, "What is your name? Can I borrow a dollar from you?"
The boy was obviously still a little timid, and looked back at the woman, "Mom, can I tell him my name?" Seeing his mother nodding before he said to Zheng Xudong, "My name is Steven Luke." The child's voice was clear and loud.
"Can you lend me a dollar?" asked Zheng Xudong.
The boy obviously didn't know what this man was going to do when he borrowed money from him, he looked back at his mother, and saw his mother nodding at him with a smile, before he said to Zheng Xudong: "You can borrow it, but you have to pay me back, this is what my mother earned by working hard, and I gave it to me at the beginning of this month, and I didn't want to spend it!"
In a few words, the boy moistened his mother's eyes, and the audience was also very moved, which was what the director team did not expect.
Zheng Xudong took the child's dollar bill, took a black marker from Andrea, and handed it to the boy, "Can you write your own name?"
"Yes, my mother taught me. The boy said loudly. It seems that he is no longer as nervous as he was at the beginning.
"Okay! Write your name on this one-dollar bill. The boy didn't know why, but he wrote his name next to the head of George Shington, the founding father of the United States, and handed him the money.
Zheng Xudong stood up, showed everyone a dollar and gave a close-up of the TV camera, and said to the boy: "The handwriting is beautiful!"
He picked up the bag of unopened potato chips again, holding the dollar in his left hand and the potato chips in his right hand, "Look carefully, everyone." As he spoke, he put his hands together and slowly closed them together.
Everyone didn't understand why he did this, they just stared blankly, but when he separated his hands, the dollar was gone, and only the unopened potato chips remained.
The audience began to whisper, "This dollar can't be in this bag, is it?" "That's impossible, it's just too, you see the bag is still intact!
Andrea is also "blindsided", what is the situation? She came to his side, "Your magic show is over, what do you want us to see? The dollar is gone?"
Zheng Xudong didn't speak, but handed her the potato chips and said, "Open it!"
Although Andrea was puzzled, she still tore open the bag of potato chips, and then took out a slice from it and put it in her mouth, "It's delicious!"
Zheng Xudong looked at her and was speechless, "You are the favorite host I have ever met!" His words made Andrea blush, making her remember the beautiful scene that happened in the dressing room just now, and he glanced at him and said, "Aren't you just eating potato chips!
"Look inside. Zheng Xudong said speechlessly.
Andrea put her hand into the bag and pulled it out a few times, suddenly her eyes widened, with a look of disbelief, everyone didn't know what happened to her, but she slowly took her hand out, everyone saw that she had a dollar bill in her hand, although it was not clear how much it was, but everyone had already guessed that this piece of paper must be the one signed by the child just now.
When Andrea slowly unfolded the banknote and gave the TV camera a specific moment in front of the audience, it was the one-dollar note signed by Steven, and everyone stood up and applauded Zheng Xudong's wonderful performance.
After the applause stopped, he came to the little boy and squatted down, picked up a pen and signed his name on the back of the money and handed it to him, "This is the first time I have taken the initiative to sign someone's autograph, I hope you don't dislike it!" He put the money in the little boy's hand, and then said, "I stained your money, I decided to give you back, look!" After speaking, I saw him put his hands together, and when the hands were separated, a piece of money (one hundred dollars) with Franklin's face appeared in his hand," Uncle give you back this money, don't lose it!" He kissed the boy on the cheek, then returned to the stage and sat down on the couch.
Today's program greatly exceeded everyone's expectations, Zheng Xudong's performance was really wonderful enough, and the scene was also very warm! The audience applauded Zheng Xudong's noble character.
Andrea also came to sit down on the sofa and said to him: "It's been a long time since I've been on such an exciting show, you have brought us all a visual feast, and you have touched us, I am here to thank you for the boy and his mother! Thank you for doing everything selflessly for them and giving them dignity!"
