After Gu Xiaofan's magic officially entered the shortlist, the CCTV leadership also issued another order, ordering the removal of Hou Fei as the director of the language group, and the chief director Chen Jianfei concurrently served as the director of the language group. [Full text reading]

On the day Hou Fei was dismissed, all kinds of reports about the language group flew into CCTV like snowflakes.

But in order to maintain the unity of the crew, the CCTV leadership chose not to deal with these reports, after all, the Spring Festival Gala is the most important task in front of them, and the accountability can be decided at that time.

And this has also aroused strong dissatisfaction among many people internally...... However, these opposing voices did not attract the attention of CCTV leaders, and they still responded with the previous "cold treatment" attitude.

In this regard, Zhao Chunfang also scolded in private: "No wonder Hou Fei has been fooling around in the language group for so long, there must be someone above who has something to do with him." ”

Gu Xiaofan didn't care about this, Hou Fei's life and death had nothing to do with him, if he really wanted to find out what was wrong with the crew of the Spring Festival Gala, then I'm afraid everyone would discuss it, and no one would care about his magic show.

And the closer he got to the grand stage time of the Spring Festival Gala, Gu Xiaofan became more and more cautious, he had always been a little uneasy in his heart, and he always felt that something would happen.

Last time in the Weibo public opinion war triggered by "Dear", although he won a big victory, but at the same time, he also made him stand on the opposite side of the media, as long as he made a slight mistake this time, the other party would definitely bite it......

Thinking of this, Gu Xiaofan still didn't let down his vigilance, and still spent one or two hours a day practicing with Liu Shishi and Lou Yixiao around the glass round table he customized......

A week before the start of the 2008 Spring Festival Gala in the Year of the Rat, CCTV officially released the list of programs for the 08 Spring Festival Gala on Weibo.

The list of 37 programs and participating actors were announced one by one in front of 1.3 billion people across the country.

Major media have reported the news in a large space, unlike the previous Spring Festival Gala, the single announcement of this Spring Festival Gala program has aroused great enthusiasm among young people, and many people have begun to discuss the content of the Spring Festival Gala frantically.

What aroused the interest of young people, of course, was not Zhao Benshan, who could be seen every year, ****** these familiar faces of the Spring Festival Gala, but Gu Xiaofan actually wanted to perform the only magic show of the Spring Festival Gala!

This is something that everyone didn't expect, Gu Xiaofan doesn't sing or act in sketches, but performs magic, is the director team of the Spring Festival Gala crazy?

On the one hand, Gu Xiaofan's fan group firmly believes that "Gu Zhentian" can bring surprises, and on the other hand, the mainstream public has the mentality of watching jokes, hoping that Gu Xiaofan will make a fool of himself in the live performance.

In the two voting sessions of "the most anticipated Spring Festival Gala program this year" and "the most unoptimistic Spring Festival Gala program" held by Tianya website, "Magic Hand Shencai" left other programs far behind.

These two votes received a total of more than 500,000 ID votes, of which 300,000 were voted for "Demon Hand Shencai", among netizens, there are also many people who are optimistic about Gu Xiaofan and ridicule him.

However, unlike the lively discussion and ridicule mentality of the common people, the mainstream print media that tore his face with Gu Xiaofan on "Dear" before are completely different.

The southern department and those Weibo big Vs who love to track current affairs are silent one after another, and few media and newspapers have made any comments on the magic of the Spring Festival Gala, let alone the name Gu Xiaofan, and even when commenting on Zhao Benshan's sketch "Not Bad Money", they directly ignored Gu Xiaofan, the screenwriter.

Instead, the Beijing News and Southern Weekly hyped up the life stories of several magicians who were eliminated in the Spring Festival Gala rehearsals, creating their tragic images.

Especially Qin Mingxiao, who appeared in the Spring Festival Gala in the 90s, Yao Jinfen is from a traditional Chinese magic family, and his father and uncle are all Taishan Beidou-level figures in the Beijing-Shanghai magic industry.

Under the rendering of "Xinjing Daily" and "Southern Weekly", Qin Mingxiao and Yao Jinfen's magic performed well in the rehearsal, but in the end they were inexplicably brushed down, and the article finally hinted that it was because the director team finally made a temporary decision.

The wording and story directly describe a conspiracy theory story, although Gu Xiaofan is not mentioned in the whole article, but now everyone in the country knows that Gu Xiaofan joined the Spring Festival Gala crew and won the opportunity to perform magic.

Almost everyone naturally thought that Gu Xiaofan was using the director's authority this time, in order to increase his popularity, and forcibly took the magic show for himself.

Many netizens who know a little about the screening process of the Spring Festival Gala are laughing after watching it.

"It's funny~!"

"This southern media is spreading rumors again!"

"It's just a magic show, it's not like we haven't watched the magic tricks of the Spring Festival Gala every year, where is there any good show? As for Gu Xiaofan, as for grabbing? ”

"It's not that we haven't watched the magic show before Qin Mingxiao and Yao Jinfen, who remembers? Gu Xiaofan wants to steal the show and show the limelight, why don't you partner with Zhao Benshan, language is king!? ”

"This news is so fake......"

"Even if Gu Xiaofan offended you, you wouldn't be so smeared."

"****** how dare these newspapers talk nonsense, this is not clear to mislead the masses!?"

"If I were Gu Xiaofan, I would definitely kill these grandsons!"

"Don't be stupid, Gu Xiaofan's name is not mentioned in this report, how can you sue? The media is very high, and you can still catch pigtails? ”

"So that's it?"

Netizens were scolded, but everyone had nothing to do with these media.

And in the world of people over 30, the Internet is full of rumors, and the newspapers are authoritative facts.

More and more people are beginning to believe that Gu Xiaofan is a snob who has robbed other people's programs.

This point of view has been fermenting in just a few days, and many have pointed the finger at Gu Xiaofan, after the tea and dinner of many families, at the scene of various square dances, talking about the Spring Festival Gala, aunts and aunts are chatting about things:

"That actor Gu Xiaofan is so bad that in order to become famous, he drove away all the magicians and performed magic tricks by himself."

"Well, I've also heard that the "Demon Hand Divine Color" he performed was the idea of stealing a magician surnamed Qin, and he was secretly learning from the side when he performed it, but he kicked them away and went up to perform by himself."

At a time when this kind of negative voice against Gu Xiaofan's magic performance is getting stronger and stronger, the TV media has not let go of this national discussion upsurge......
