Chapter 485: Entering a New Battle
"You drank too much old Qin......," Zhao Chunfang said. [Full text reading]
"I'm not drunk, you don't understand......" Qin Mingxiao shook his head and said with pain on his face:
"I love stage magic, whenever I see the works of great magicians, I often ask myself if I can do it, most of the magic tricks if I work hard, I can do it, there are some performances I can't do, but I can feel how big the gap is, that is part of what I can do.
But when I watched Mr. Gu's performance, I couldn't measure and compare myself at all, and many people said that David Copperfield was great, but I felt that Mr. Gu was not inferior to him......
Many foreign magicians are known as top performers, but those people are simply too far from Mr. Gu......
Because Mr. Gu is not only performing magic, but creating a world with his personal charm and performance, you know that this world does not exist, but you don't treat it as an illusory fairy tale.
When he performs, we all feel that our hearts are floating when we look at it, just like the feeling of a child looking up at the starry sky for the first time, the shock is incredible.
Yes...... It turns out that there are still people who can create such a world, such an atmosphere......
Technique can be learned, but this kind of creative power cannot be obtained by hard work, like a gift from God......
The only people in the world who can perform magic shows to this extent are him and David Copperfield......"
Zhao Chunfang listened to Qin Mingxiao's muttering, completely unaware of what was happening, and unconsciously looked at Gu Xiaofan, and really felt that he was a little different from before, but he couldn't tell what had changed.
I just vaguely felt that something in his body was beginning to sprout, and an indescribable power was transforming.
A week later, the Spring Festival holiday ended, people returned to their jobs one after another, and the first publications issued by the major media across the country reported the news of the Spring Festival Gala in the largest volume in accordance with the usual practice.
What is different from usual is that the focus of everyone's discussion this time is no longer the sketch king Zhao Benshan.
Xiao Jiang, a Qin-style actor who made everyone laugh until his stomach hurt with his money, and Gu Xiaofan, who amazed Chinese all over the world with magic, became the biggest surprise this time.
Major newspapers have reported on Xiao Jiang's life story, and the news that Xiao Jiang, a celebrity in the Spring Festival Gala, is about to hold a big stage in Daqin Village, has also become a key promotional tourism project for major Shaanxi travel agencies.
This made Xiaojiang and his son extremely pleased, the tourism industry in Daqin Village has made great strides, if nothing else, it will drive the village out of poverty and become rich in the past two years, which also solves the worries of Gu Xiaofan, the honorary village head.
On the other hand, Gu Xiaofan's magical magic performed at the Spring Festival Gala also triggered a magic fever across the country.
At the beginning of the year, the sales of magic introductory books in major bookstores that were originally unpopular have soared by more than 20 times, and magic coins and pokers on Taobao have been sold out of stock.
Many white-collar workers in the office, as soon as they get to work, take their newly learned magic tricks and show them off in front of female classmates.
In various bars, the parties of young men and women have also begun to abandon the killing game, and all kinds of small magic tricks have become popular, and a wonderful little magic trick can arouse everyone's great interest.
Gu Xiaofan's sentence "Now is the time to witness a miracle!" It has become a mantra for countless people.
This "performance poet" also has a new and louder nickname, and the Chinese people in the United States call him "miracle fan".
This is not only because his name has the word "Fan", but also because a local Chinese daily in Los Angeles reported this:
Gu Xiaofan, a seemingly ordinary young man, has gone from singer, actor, director, to magician in just a few years...... Along the way, he has been creating one miracle after another, and he is a well-deserved miracle man~"
And the nickname of "Miracle Fan" has also gone away and has become a special synonym for Gu Xiaofan.
You must know that in China, only the most well-known stars have nicknames, except for "Flying Man" Liu Xiang and "Little Giant" Yao Ming, "Miracle Fan" has become synonymous with all ages in the country in the shortest possible time.
And Gu Xiaofan himself has become a celebrity who is eager to be invited by various David TVs, and as many as 12 satellite TV stations across the country plan to invite him as a guest performer to appear on various evening programs.
Even Hunan Satellite TV, Dragon TV and several other TV stations hope to take advantage of this boom and develop a magic program with Gu Xiaofan as the core.
What is surprising is that this "miracle fan", who is popular among Chinese all over the world, did not take any work related to magic, and had the freedom of "I wave my sleeves and don't take away a cloud".
This young man, who effortlessly reached the pinnacle of Chinese magic, resolutely returned to that more dangerous battlefield.
The press conference of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" is about to be held, and Gu Xiaofan called Feng Xiaogang and asked him to attend the press conference with Jiang Wen to build momentum for "Outwitting Tiger Mountain".
When Feng Xiaogang heard the news, he said with some embarrassment: "It's okay for me to come, but Jiang Wen, it's hard to say, he doesn't listen to others very much." ”
Jiang Wen's domineering scoundrel, Gu Xiaofan has heard of it, and he doesn't plan to nod his head to please him, the more you bow your head to a person with this kind of character, the more he looks down on you.
"Director Feng. You tell him directly that publicity is also part of the film, and if he doesn't come, then the investment in "Let the Bullets Fly" be canceled. ”
Feng Xiaogang was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "Xiaofan, you are really bold, aren't you afraid of offending Teacher Jiang?" ”
"Director Feng, you tell the truth, even if I hold Teacher Jiang, will he listen to me?" Gu Xiaofan smiled slightly.
"Haha." Feng Xiaogang also laughed: "Okay~ Just do what you say." ”
After hanging up the phone, unconsciously, it was already late at night, Gu Xiaofan, who was lying on the bed, looked at the starry sky outside the window, but his mood was still floating in ecstasy and anticipation, and at the same time there was a sense of quiet and stable satisfaction.
After he experienced the stage baptism of the Spring Festival Gala, he could clearly feel a change in his heart.
It is not the confidence brought by the improvement of his acting ability, but that he feels that his soul is approaching a wonderful realm, and he can not care about the gains and losses at all, but just indulge in the performance itself, the rhythm of the body, the communication between language and other people's souls, and the surge of emotions...... Every subtlety, he can clearly feel that this is not the feeling when Sirui manipulates him, but with his own progress.
The panic that once arose in his heart because he felt that he was ordinary has gradually disappeared, but now he is quiet and down-to-earth.
Now, he's moving forward, step by step...... From technique to mentality, he is constantly approaching the once unattainable "immortal" performance, and this feeling is really intoxicating to him.
Tomorrow is the press conference of the new film, and he is about to perform on the same stage with China's top actors Jiang Wen and Ge You, but he has no fear or worry in his heart, but is a little excited.
In front of the powerful performer, the invincible fear of the past is gone, and it is more of a calm......
No matter who I stand in front of, I am me, standing in the world that belongs to me, a unique and irreplaceable existence.
Lying on the comfortable bed, Gu Xiaofan showed a relaxed smile and gradually fell asleep, on this night, he had a lot of sweet dreams......
He dreamed that he was wearing clown makeup and dancing in front of a black-cloaked masked Batman, and that he was transformed into a diminutive dwarf, talking in front of the nobles sitting on the edge of a throne of iron forged by a thousand blades.
He also dreamed that he was wearing a black robe, standing on the palace of the King of Qin, and accepting the worship of all the people......
Those vague and magnificent scenes, in dreams...... From vagueness to clarity......
