Chapter 466: The Man Who Steals Magic

Phoenix Satellite TV made a special program to report this news in prime time. 【Reading.com】

"Gu Xiaofan, who is the director of the Spring Festival Gala, suddenly announced that he was going to perform magic, and now the whole country is discussing this strange thing, let's see what the experts say, right?"

After the hostess finished speaking, the camera cut to a quaint room, behind the mahogany table and chairs, there was an old man in his sixties sitting, and the subtitle read: "Mr. He Juntian, the uncle of Qin Mingxiao, the representative of China's Beijing School of magic." ”

The reporter asked in the camera: "May I ask Mr. He, what do you think about the actor Gu Xiaofan will perform the only magic show at the Spring Festival Gala this time?" ”

The fat magician, who is in his sixties and has almost lost his hair on the top of his head, with anger on his face, harshly criticized the news event on camera:

"I really feel very angry when I read this news, I don't understand what the leaders of CCTV think, isn't the magic show worthy of respect?

Magic shows are not only an entertainment but also an art, why can a young director who has just joined the crew for less than 1 month win three shows of the best three magicians in our Chinese magic industry? And why can he let himself go up and perform?

I haven't seen this Gu Xiaofan's magic trick yet, but I know that no one in our Chinese magic world has accepted him as an apprentice!?

What qualifications does he have to represent our Chinese magic community to stand on such a solemn and serious stage as the Spring Festival Gala?

And I'm still very skeptical, what kind of magic trick is he planning? Did he plan it himself, or did he steal it from the magician who rehearsed in the Spring Festival Gala crew before?

If you learn it secretly, according to the rules of our magic world, without the consent of the magic developer, other magicians must not use other people's magic to make money! Be sure to protect the original author's efforts! ”

The camera switched to the studio, and the hostess said: "If Gu Xiaofan's magic is to steal the creativity of other magicians, then can he perform it in the Spring Festival Gala?" Now, let's hear from a legal expert. ”

In front of the sign of "Zhejiang Star Law Firm", a lawyer Yuan Shulai, who was wearing a suit and tie, commented in a very authoritative tone:

"China's legal system is still quite imperfect, and the law does not clearly stipulate the copyright protection of magic ideas, and if it is restrained by the rules of the magic industry, it obviously has no legal effect......

The female reporter then asked: "Does that mean that even if Gu Xiaofan's magic trick is suspected of infringement, there is no problem in performing this magic trick." ”

"Of course not." This lawyer Yuan Shulai said with a serious face:

"The Spring Festival Gala is a national stage, and everyone who performs in the Spring Festival Gala can be described as fame and fortune, if Gu Xiaofan's magic steals other people's ideas, and he becomes famous after the performance, and at the same time drives the box office of his new movie, then legally, the original magic creator can sue him for commercial infringement...... I think it's entirely possible to pay proportional compensation from the box office profits of their films. ”

This is clearly to guide the magicians across the country, if they find that Gu Xiaofan has plagiarized his ideas, they can sue and potentially get a huge amount of compensation!

Many people didn't hear it clearly, what this Yuan vulgar said was "I think", and directly thought it was "legal provisions", and many so-called magicians suddenly seemed to see an opportunity to make a fortune.

Immediately after that, there were countless times when he began to be interested in what kind of magic Gu Xiaofan was performing, and whether he had plagiarized other people's ideas?

All media outlets across the country have collectively dispatched to investigate the cause of this incident from all sides.

Normally, CCTV's confidentiality work is very well done, but after more than half a year of rehearsals for the Spring Festival Gala, there are countless mobile CCTV employees, and it is difficult to block all news.

Under the collective efforts of the media with various magical powers, the relevant news was finally found three days before the start of the Spring Festival Gala, and within two days, the content of Gu Xiaofan's magic was leaked in advance!

"Gu Xiaofan has three magic tricks, pulling the band magic, coins into cups, rings into eggs!" The news was published in major newspapers.

At this moment, the crew of the Spring Festival Gala was in a panic, Chen Jianfei urgently held an internal meeting, at which he severely criticized the leak, and swore that "I will definitely catch the leaker!" ”

Qin Mingxiao was so frightened that he found Gu Xiaofan in private, and apologized to him again and again: "Director Gu, I'm really not where my uncle came from, that He Juntian immigrated to the United States 20 years ago...... Although he is my uncle, we have no contact at all, and I don't know why he said that. ”

Gu Xiaofan just patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "I know it's none of your business, don't worry, Teacher Qin, these gossips, as long as we come up with a convincing magic show, they won't have anything to say, let them shout first." ”

Zhao Chunfang also comforted beside him: "Well, what Teacher Gu said is right, it doesn't matter what they say, the important thing is that the program is good, when the program is broadcast, to ensure that those people have nothing to say, don't you worry about Teacher Gu's level?" ”

Hearing this, Qin Mingxiao remembered Gu Xiaofan's magical and illusory magic tricks, so he felt a little relieved, but gritted his teeth with hatred and said, "Director Gu, don't worry, I must find a TV station to clarify this matter." With that, he walked away angrily.

Zhao Chunfang couldn't help muttering: "It's useless." ”

Gu Xiaofan also knew that Qin Mingxiao would not get any results if he went to clarify, and now the media had just heated up this topic, even if he said the facts, no one would broadcast it, otherwise wouldn't the TV station slap itself in the mouth......

But on the other hand, CCTV also urgently contacted various satellite TV stations, hoping that they would not broadcast negative reports on the Spring Festival Gala, under the pressure of CCTV, in the next two days, major TV stations have withdrawn the original related news.

But just when Chen Jianfei and Tang Taichang were relieved, on the 29th of the lunar month, a completely unexpected thing happened.

Gu Xiaofan was at home, enthusiastically revising the script of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", when He Tiejun suddenly made a phone call.

"Director Gu, I'll send you something, hurry up!"

"What's the matter?" Gu Xiaofan was most annoyed by being disrupted when he was writing the script, and he couldn't help but say in a somewhat unhappy tone.

"Can you take a look at it first?" He Tiejun said excitedly over there: "You go online now, I have sent the file to your mailbox, it is a video that someone else just uploaded to the barrage network...... We stopped me. ”

Video? Gu Xiaofan was a little stunned, quickly clicked on his mailbox, and soon downloaded the video from He Tiejun, titled "Evidence of Gu Xiaofan's suspected plagiarism of magic, the secret video of "Demon Hands". ”
