Chapter 325: The Survival Mode of the Island Magician
Along the way, he and Meizi introduced the local customs while walking, and Su Yun deliberately cooperated on the side, and soon the two women got together and became good sisters.
"By the way, do you know how NHK generally works with magicians?"
Su Yun saw that the time was ripe, and explored the bottom of Ono's side through Hemiko in advance, and she was also mentally prepared. Kazumiko smiled and said: "You don't have to be nervous, the people of the island country have a very serious and rigorous work attitude, since Ono is optimistic about Moqi, he will definitely take the formal cooperation intention, and he will not casually get some parallel goods!"
Mo Qi was stunned for a moment, and said curiously: "Parallel goods?"
"I don't know how you magicians survive in China, but there are only two ways in the island country, if you are a real master, a magician with unique skills and popularity, it is very popular. For example, Masamichi Sato and Tomoako Maeda are all very popular with the audience and distinguished guests of major TV stations. ”
"And they are a minority after all, more magicians want to survive, then the TV station will give another way, which is to do magic teaching on TV!"
Mo Qi and Lu Fang glanced at each other, and openly taught magic on TV? This is really rare in China, because teaching and revealing secrets are only a thin line, and a poor grasp of proportion can easily arouse the disgust of peers.
Magic looks mysterious, but once the layer of window paper is pierced, the principle is sometimes incredibly simple, so magicians will basically maintain a sense of mystery to the outside world, deliberately distancing themselves from the audience, in order to protect the private and even common secrets of magic.
Teaching generally refers to teaching or teaching others to read, while revealing secrets refers to revealing the secrets of someone, something, or something. ”
There is a big difference between the two, teaching is nothing more than teaching people to learn, it is more focused on the word "teaching", and this teaching generally refers to teaching people how to learn from head to toe, from the inside to the field, and the content of teaching is not denied by others, just like teachers teach students knowledge.
The secret is more focused on "revealing", that is, to expose what others are unwilling to disclose, which has a bit of a human flesh search. The things revealed by the revelation are often just the revelations that show what can be seen, and the people who see the revelations cannot understand the truth contained in them, nor can they be applied and promoted, just to let you know the secret of something.
Many people must have read the "Magician's Code", which has such a rule: do not reveal the secrets of magic openly or teach magic unconditionally. From this sentence, the meaning of the predecessors in the magic world and the definition of "teaching" and "revealing secrets" in the magic world are analyzed.
The first point is that "not revealing the secrets of magic in public" means that no one is allowed to reveal the secret of magic and disclose the secret of magic tricks, unless the magician himself is willing to disclose it, it is considered a violation.
The second point says "not unconditional teaching magic", why is "teaching" used here instead of "revealing secrets"? It is not contradictory to reveal secrets, which is strictly forbidden in the magic world, but allows conditional teaching, because "teaching" and "revealing secrets" are two words that have nothing to do with each other.
Many magic lovers see this point in the "Magician Code", and think that there can be no teaching in magic, and all teaching must be blocked, and they can only spend money to buy teaching. If according to these people, then the "Magician's Code" is written incorrectly?
Teaching generally means that the magician modifies his own original magic or the magic created by others, and then conditionally teaches others, but the teaching magic referred to here is not opposed or agreed to by the original magician who is teaching magic.
The teaching content often includes manual teaching, basic teaching, and the teaching and application of magic as a whole, just like the J2 magic teaching that has been circulating on the Internet recently.
The secret is generally revealed in the case that the magician does not know or is not allowed to reveal this set of magic, and the magic that is revealed is often only able to make people understand this magic, and they don't understand it if they modify the process slightly, which is like "banning the magic revealed - the masked magician reveals the secret", which can only let you understand the secret of this magic trick instead of letting you know the most fundamental principle and foundation. Strictly speaking, it's just a show that deceives ordinary laymen, and the real insiders know it, and there are many professional books on that principle!
In a nutshell, magic revelation is equivalent to teaching it to fish, and magic teaching is equivalent to "teaching it to fish"! Teaching is conducive to the development of magic, while magic revealing does not use magic to develop, it can only destroy the mystery of magic, and it is of no use to the development of magic, and the existence of magic revelation also hurts many magicians.
Lu Fang walked up to Mo Qi and said in a low voice: "Magic teaching, I think it's a secret!"
Mochi didn't speak, he knew in his heart why many people now confuse magic teaching with magic teaching, and they all resist their appearance, because the relationship between the two is not well understood to the average magic enthusiast, and many unscrupulous people change magic secrets for magic teaching. Some people with ulterior motives deliberately confuse the two for their own selfish interests and in order to sell teaching.
In reality, there are basically no magicians who have never filmed magic teaching! Liu Yiqian, Chris Angel, and even David Copperfield's main income depends on the sale of teaching DVDs all over the world. This is already an explicit rule that is well known in the circle, and it is not even an unspoken rule.
Kazumiko saw that Mo Qi seemed to understand something, and smiled: "Actually, it's normal, many magic lovers watch magic shows out of curiosity, and they are willing to spend money to buy DVDs in order to learn more advanced techniques, which is very common here." ”
"Of course, these are the routines of ordinary magicians, and the real masters don't bother to do this kind of thing. Once famous, many advertisers will talk about cooperation, and a lot of sponsorships will be sent to the door. There are also many well-known magic props companies that will ask you to be a spokesperson, and they also take the initiative to send money to magicians. ”
"Liu Yiqian, you should know, right? Although he is not cooperating with our NHK TV station, strictly speaking, he is now famous in the island country, and then he returned to the mainland and became popular. At that time, he relied on participating in competitions everywhere and winning several national youth championships before he was favored by the TV station, made a street magic show, and became a celebrity in just ten episodes, and made money in Tokyo. ”
Kazumiko looked at Mo Qi and affirmed: "Ken Onono must be optimistic about your future when he invites you here, and if it's okay, there will be a magic show that will invite you to be a guest performer." As a general rule, it is possible to record with two other guests. Street magic is the hottest now, and several well-known local magicians just mentioned have become household names by relying on street magic, so Mo Qijun, I'm very optimistic about you!"
