Chapter 163: What You Want Is Harder Than A Girlfriend To Find
In any case, after all, Pei Junyong is one of the judges of the audition for this welcome party, and he still has to give face.
Professor He raised his hand to signal the players in the audience to be quiet, and asked in a harmonious voice, "Xiao Pei, do you have any other opinions?" ”
"I'll admit it's amazing, but if that's all there is, I don't think it could be performed on the stage of the orientation party."
For the sake of his younger brother, Pei Junyong also let it go and objected stubbornly.
"Comrade Xiao Pei, you have to speak with your conscience!" But the director's face suddenly sank.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the magic performed by Li Mengnan is a big cut above Pei Junmeng's card magic in terms of difficulty and visual effects, and Pei Junyong is still speaking for Pei Junmeng at this time, and the meaning of protecting the short is not too obvious.
"Lao Ke, don't get excited, you let Xiao Pei finish speaking."
Although Professor He also felt that Pei Junyong's impact was very bad, they are now the judges of the party after all, representing the face of the entire school, and they can't be laughed at by the students in any case.
"But director, don't get me wrong, although Pei Junmeng is my younger brother, I am not defending him, and I naturally have my reasons for opposing him."
Pei Junyong hurriedly apologized to Director Ke, and took this opportunity to clear his mind and defend his objection: "The venue for this performance is not in such a small space as the auditorium, but the school's newly built stadium of 10,000 people. ”
After saying this passage in one breath, Pei Junyong paused and gave Professor He and the others a little time to think before continuing: "Our school has limited conditions, and it is impossible to use a big screen as a stage background like the Spring Festival Gala, so we must also take into account the effect of actually appearing on stage when reviewing the program...... Li Mengnan's magic tricks are wonderful, but the problem is that the props used are too small, and it is difficult to achieve the expected performance effect. ”
Professor He and the other three judges fell into deep thought, and I have to say that Pei Junyong's analysis still has some truth - the venue of this performance is too big, you can't expect anyone to be able to see a finger in the mirror from dozens of meters away, right?
"Yes...... The cards used by Pei Junmeng are also not big. ”
A soft and weak voice suddenly floated next to him, and it was actually Wen Yirou.
No one thought that she, who had always paddled and played soy sauce, would actually help Li Mengnan speak for the first time.
Pei Junyong had long expected that someone would question this, but he didn't expect it to be Wen Yirou, so he calmly threw out the words that had been prepared for a long time.
"I would like to point out a misconception that the prop used in Li Mengnan's magic trick looks like a mirror on the surface, but in fact the real prop is his finger...... Which is easier to see a poker card or a finger, so I don't need to say such an obvious result, right?
Moreover, Pei Junmeng's card magic is mainly the change of card suits, even if you can't see the specific card surface, but the color difference is always easy to see, and the finger reflection in Li Mengnan's magic is too small, not to mention, the process is too short, it is no exaggeration to say that if you happen to blink and sneeze, it is likely to be wrong.
To sum up, I think that this Li Mengnan's magic is not suitable for performing at this welcome party, maybe there will be a slightly smaller department-level art show in the future, and his program can be given priority, the stage is smaller, and his magic performance effect is better. ”
The other three judges have not yet taken a stand, but there was obviously a slight commotion among the students in the audience.
This is normal, no one will eat pancakes and fruits in the presence of a full banquet, Li Mengnan's magic trick has only performed an opening, and everyone has been shocked beyond measure, and all the players in the audience are speculating and discussing what the complete and uncut version of this magic trick will look like.
But Pei Junyong talked about the big reason, obviously wanting to cancel the rhythm of this show, just like the book is suddenly a eunuch here, everyone's appetite is hung on it, how can there be no complaints at all?
If it weren't for Pei Junyong's explanation, there was some truth in it, but I was afraid that these disgruntled students would have thrown mineral water bottles on the stage in protest.
"Li Mengnan, look at this ......"
Professor He also felt a little shameless to speak, and the fact that excellent programs could not be played, no matter how good the reason, was itself a kind of institutional unfairness.
Li Mengnan shrugged his shoulders and said that it didn't matter, he could see that in order to help his younger brother Pei Junmeng get on the stage of the welcome party, this Pei Junyong could be said to have done his best, and he was already completely shameless.
It's really embarrassing that he can come up with such a good reason in such a short period of time, and it is estimated that a lot of brain cells must have died.
To be honest, Li Mengnan didn't want to go to this party at all, after all, his ideal was to be a teacher, not a magician.
However, the feeling of being whistled made Li Mengnan very unhappy after all, and in order to maintain the love and justice of this world, he decided to continue to stick on his face.
Even if you can't win, at least you can disgust the other party.
Li Mengnan's concept of good and evil is so simple.
After making up his mind, Li Mengnan took out a piece of chewing gum from his pocket, opened the wrapping paper and stuffed it into his mouth.
On occasions when it is inconvenient to smoke, he can only chew something casually to stabilize his feelings, which used to be beef jerky, but now it has been replaced by chewing gum - no way, the beef jerky in the city is too expensive, more than 100 yuan a catty, and he can't afford to eat.
"I think this Teacher Pei may have misunderstood, the magic I performed was actually a large-scale stage magic, but the show was thought of temporarily, and I didn't have time to prepare the corresponding props, so I could only use a small mirror to warm up the scene."
Li Mengnan's response made everyone suddenly feel like they had seen the sun.
That's what I'm saying, people just don't have time to prepare, you haven't even watched the whole show, how can you be sure that this magic trick is just a small fight?
"This ......"
Pei Junyong didn't know what to say now, if Li Mengnan could really come up with bigger magic props to perform, he would no longer have any reason to oppose this magic trick on stage, and he would slap himself in the face.
"Oh, my magic prop is here, it's a little late, but it's still ...... in time"
Following Li Mengnan's line of sight, I saw Zhao Yingjun and Liang Sanbo, who had gone nowhere before, carrying an object more than one person tall and appearing at the entrance of the auditorium.
"That'...... Please continue your performance. ”
At this time, opposing it will only cause public anger, and Pei Junyong can only play the role of a judge head-on, and secretly make a helpless expression to his younger brother Pei Junmeng.
Now, unless Li Mengnan's magic performance fails, it is impossible for him to change the result of the other party's magic tricks.
Liang Sanbo and Zhao Yingjun quickly carried the tall object covered with a cloth onto the stage.
Putting down the things, Zhao Yingjun squatted on the ground panting, the clothes on his chest and back were all soaked, Liang Sanbo was not much stronger than him, standing there his legs were obviously trembling, obviously tired all the way.
"It's harder to find something you want than a girlfriend, so I called several girls I knew, so I borrowed it, and I took it across most of the campus, back and forth eight floors...... But I didn't find the white cover you wanted, I only borrowed a sheet, and the flowers were a little spent, but the size was fine. ”
Li Mengnan took out two bottles of mineral water from the cardboard box next to the judges' bench and handed them over, patted the two of them on the shoulder, and said, "Thank you, I'll invite you to dinner when I go back." ”
And when the brothers said this, they saw each other...... Where to eat? Declare in advance, don't try to fool me with the cafeteria, just the clear soup and little water in our school cafeteria can't make up for the calories I just burned violently. ”
"If you like to eat or not, at most you will add a bottle of Red Bull ......"
After laughing for a few sentences, Liang Sanbo also knew that Li Mengnan was going to perform next, so he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he took Zhao Yingjun off the stage with a smile.
The four judges returned to their seats, and the scene gradually quieted down, and everyone's eyes were focused on the mysterious object covered with a light blue floral sheet next to Li Mengnan under the spotlight.
This time, Li Mengnan didn't sell it again, and immediately lifted the sheet to cover it.
As everyone thought – it was a mirror.
One side has a rectangular wood-framed mirror from head to toe that is one person high.
Li Mengnan temporarily put away the bracket and turned the mirror back and forth so that all the audience in the audience could see it clearly, and then raised his eyebrows playfully to Pei Junmeng, who had not yet stepped down from the stage, and asked, "Do you want to check it again?" ”
Pei Jun snorted heavily and didn't answer.
In Pei Junmeng's cognition, any magic prop that exceeds the size of a palm must have some kind of special mechanism inside, so it is difficult to ensure the shape that this prop should have.
For example, mirrors are actually used in many magic tricks, but these mirrors are often stored in the form of "mirror boxes", but few magicians use pure monolithic mirrors as performance props.
But he also saw very clearly that what Li Mengnan moved was indeed just an ordinary mirror, with a reasonable frame thickness and no interlayer, that is to say, the possibility that the other party could do anything on this mirror was extremely low.
Li Mengnan bent his knuckles and tapped on the mirror, and smiled at the audience: "In order to prevent some people from jumping out and saying that I have prepared something in advance, I plan to find an audience member to assist me in this performance...... Did anyone sign up voluntarily? ”
Live magic shows are not common, and the opportunity to go on stage to help complete the magic trick is even rarer.
As soon as Li Mengnan's words fell, the audience immediately raised hundreds of hands, and almost everyone wanted to experience this magical magic up close.
