Chapter 156 This foreigner is good and can get along well with others
Qimen boy!
For outsiders, they may just watch the fun or may not know about it.
But in the magic circle, Qimen Boy is the most popular one recently.
As a magic enthusiast, Chen Xin joined many magic groups. In almost every group, there were people discussing the two magic tricks performed by Qimen Boy, and there were always quarrels in the group.
Moreover, Chen Xin discovered a phenomenon: most of the people who believed that the videos of Qimen Xiaozi were not edited were magic enthusiasts, while those magic practitioners or magicians did not believe it.
In their words, this is what they do, and the magic effects in the video are simply impossible to achieve.
No magic trick can achieve this effect.
Magic enthusiasts, however, believe that this is magic, and it is just that you magicians fail to see the flaws and are jealous of others’ skills, so you say it is impossible.
As a person who has been fond of magic for many years, Chen Xin's magic skills are better than those of ordinary magicians, and his magic theory is no worse than that of senior magicians.
Therefore, intellectually speaking, she agreed with the magicians' opinions. With current magic techniques, there was really no way to produce such an effect.
But she also wanted to believe that the magic was real. The reason was very simple. If it was fake, then this strange boy would definitely come out to make money while the popularity was still there. But this strange boy did not do that. After posting those two videos, he disappeared and his account was never updated again.
"You guys are not magic enthusiasts at all. That Qimen kid is just a liar. Our president has sent him many private messages. If he is not a liar, why doesn't he dare to reply?"
"Who do you think your president is? You should reply to private messages. I even sent a private message to Reba, asking her to be my wife."
"That's right, since you're not good at magic, you think others are just as useless as you."
"It's not just us who think so. Mr. Stephen, the international magician, also thinks so."
Over there, a young man led a blond-haired and blue-eyed foreign man over, and the group of people who were arguing with the Qimen fans made way.
"President!"
"President!"
Gao Chen nodded. He was the president of the Ice City Magic Club. Almost all the magic enthusiasts in the entire Ice City were in the group he created, including some magicians.
He organizes some exchange meetings for magicians and magic enthusiasts every year, so he is quite famous in the magic circle of Ice City.
The reason why he did all this was not because of his love for magic, but to make money.
The cost of performing some magic tricks with props is actually not expensive, but he used the large number of magic enthusiasts at his disposal to promote magic props. He not only opened several magic prop shops in the city, but also sold them online.
The magic club is his tool to make money.
"In fact, I also want to believe that the video is real, because it means that our country has also produced a top magician. But I watched the two videos repeatedly and discussed and analyzed them with many magic masters. Everyone thinks that the video is edited. If you don't believe it, you can ask Mr. Stephen. Mr. Stephen is a member of the World Magicians Association and a director of the Irish Magic Association."
"Gao is right, that video is obviously fake, it goes against the common sense of magic."
The blond and blue-eyed Stephen spoke fluent Chinese and it was obvious that he had spent quite some time in China.
Those Qimen fans felt a little intimidated when faced with a man who was both the president and a foreign magician, and who had such a long list of titles.
Gao Chen smiled and said, "I know that you are all magic enthusiasts and hope that the magic is real, but fake is fake. If you are interested in learning magic, you can join our club and get the tutorial materials of one thousand small magic tricks for free."
"This kind of fraud will only destroy the atmosphere of our magic circle. Many of my foreign magician friends have told me that the behavior of that strange boy has caused foreign magicians to misunderstand our domestic magic circle."
"Well said, President!"
"Such black sheep should be boycotted!"
The members of the magic club naturally applauded, and the fans of Qimen Boy wanted to refute but couldn't find any way to refute. After all, he was the president and had directors of foreign magic associations around him, which represented authority.
Even though everyone on the Internet criticizes experts, when you really encounter something, you should still trust experts and authority.
"It's possible that the video of Qimen Boy was edited, but isn't it too arbitrary to make such a conclusion without any evidence?"
Chen Xin couldn't help but speak up. Although she also felt that the video might be fake, she couldn't just dismiss it with one blow. What era is this? Are what foreigners say necessarily right?
Facing everyone's gazes, Chen Xin was not afraid of the stage and continued, "If you want to determine that it is fake, you should produce solid evidence. Standing on the moral high ground, it seems a bit hypocritical."
"Yes, there is no solid evidence, and it seems like he is doing it for the good of our country's magic community."
"Who are you? Can you represent our country's magic circle and perform on the Spring Festival Gala?"
The group of young people who were previously suppressed by Gao Chen's aura also reacted after Chen Xin said this. Yes, who are you, pointing fingers here? I was almost intimidated.
Gao Chen also looked a little embarrassed. He didn't expect someone to come out and ruin his place. He could only say with a sullen face, "Whether it can be proven or not is very simple. Just let that strange boy perform in front of people once, even if it's from a distance across the stage. I sent him a private message the first time, and even said that if he can perform this magic in front of me, I can give him 100,000 yuan."
"Did you hear that? Our president is willing to pay 100,000 yuan. If that Qimen kid is not a liar, why wouldn't he respond?"
“Only scammers hide behind the Internet and dare not show up.”
Listening to what the members said, Gao Chen continued to have a confident smile on his face. He never sent a private message saying that he would give 100,000 yuan. But even if he was talking nonsense, no one could expose him. That Qimen boy was a liar and would definitely not show up.
Even if he shows up in the future, that is a matter for the future. I can get over this situation for now.
"Advisor Lin, I know what these people are arguing about. There were two very popular magic videos a while ago..."
Zhang Yun saw that Lin Ye was quite interested and a little excited. He had also watched the two videos of Qimen Boy. After all, the nature of their work would require them to come into contact with many extraordinary people, and they believed in Qimen Dunjia more than ordinary people.
He guessed at the time that the strange boy should also be an extraordinary person, so he went out of his way to watch these two videos and read the comments and debates divided into two major factions below.
"No, I understand."
Lin Ye waved his hands. He was the person involved. Did he need anyone else to explain the situation to him?
Did this person really send me a private message?
Lin Ye knew at a glance that the other party was lying. Although he did not read the comments later, he did read the comments in the early stage because of novelty and curiosity, but none of them mentioned 100,000 yuan.
Originally, he just wanted to join in the fun and had no intention of intervening, because in a way, what he performed was indeed not magic.
However, the foreigner's next words made the smile disappear from his face.
"You Chinese just love to cheat. This is your bad nature. No wonder you can't produce any great magicians."
As soon as Stephen said this, everyone present looked at him angrily.
"Fuck, this foreigner is so arrogant, he's asking for trouble."
"I'm going to kill him."
Unfortunately, this was probably Stephen's first time in the North, and he didn't understand the temperament of the northern people. They were not like the southerners who would reason with you, so he really didn't get spoiled.
One of the older brothers suddenly gave a flying kick, knocking Stephen to the ground and causing him to roll several times.
"You foreign devil, if you keep saying that, I'll beat you up."
The eldest brother waved his fist, and Stephen's neck shrank in fear. Gao Chen immediately scolded him, "Don't mess around. Mr. Stephen is a magician I invited from abroad, and he is also an important guest of this magic festival."
"Mr. Stephen, are you okay?"
Gao Chen pulled Stephen up, and the commotion here also attracted the attention of the organizers. Several security guards responsible for maintaining order came over. At the same time, not far away, several people who obviously looked like leaders, accompanied by several foreigners, also walked towards this side.
"What's going on? Why are you gathering here?"
The leader frowned when he saw the crowd gathering here, and the accompanying staff immediately stepped forward to drive them away. When the foreign man next to the leader saw Stephen, he exclaimed: "Stephen, why are you here too!"
Seeing Stephen, who was beaten, the leader's expression changed slightly. Gao Chen's eyes flashed with joy when he saw this scene. He said, "Leader, I am Gao Chen, the founder of the Ice City Magic Club. Mr. Stephen is a magician I invited back from abroad. This man suddenly attacked Mr. Stephen. Isn't this tarnishing the image of our Ice City?"
Gao Chen seemed a little excited, and he did it on purpose because he knew that as a leader, what he cared about most was the city's image.
He also knew the foreigner accompanying the leader , the world-famous magician David Jock. He didn't expect that Mr. Stephen actually knew David Jock. He really invited the right person this time, and the 50,000 yuan appearance fee he spent was worth it.
However, if Gao Chen had looked at Stephen's expression when he answered, he would have noticed something was wrong. After seeing David Jock, Stephen, who had been beaten, not only did not show the excitement of his friend, but instead looked very flustered. He avoided looking David Jock in the eye.
"Mr. David, is this your friend?"
The leader did not express his attitude, but looked at David Jock. The translator beside him translated for David Jock. David immediately shook his head and said excitedly: "He is not my friend. He is a famous magic liar in Ireland who specializes in defrauding people of their money."
The moment the translator translated the words, there was an uproar at the scene.
"He turned out to be a liar. How dare he be so arrogant? Well done."
"Haha, I am dying of laughter. Some people worship liars as if they were their ancestors. How can such a person be a president? It makes me laugh so hard that my teeth fall out."
The members of the Magic Society all looked at Gao Chen with doubtful eyes, waiting for Gao Chen's explanation. Gao Chen was a little unconvinced and retorted: "It's impossible. I clearly saw his name on the website of the Irish Magic Association."
David waited for the translator to finish translating before explaining, " The Irish Magic Association you mentioned can be joined by anyone who signs up. As for being a director, you just have to pay the money. The official association is the Irish Magicians' Association, not the Irish Magic Society."
puff!
Someone in the crowd laughed, and then there was laughter.
"It's just like the Chinese Medical Association and the Chinese Stomatological Association. They use the national flag but are actually non-governmental organizations."
"It's so funny. They went abroad to find a magician who turned out to be a liar. How clever of them."
Gao Chen's face turned pale as he listened to the ridicule from the people around him. In particular, many members looked at him with suspicion, which made him feel uneasy. Without these members of the club, it would be difficult to maintain his magic props shop.
"I was also deceived because I didn't recognize it clearly, but what I said before was true. The two videos of Qimen Boy were originally edited. Mr. David, you are a magic master, please judge for yourself."
As he spoke, Gao Chen took out his mobile phone and prepared to show David the video.
This was the last straw to save his business, so naturally he was unwilling to give it up.
Seeing Gao Chen rushing towards him, David took a step back and listened to the translator. He said, "Oh no, those two magic videos are very popular. I also saw them online. I didn't see any editing. This time when I came to China, I also wanted to meet this amazing magician. Oh, yes, his name is Qimen... Xiao... Xiaozi, right?"
Click!
David Jock's words were tantamount to sentencing Gao Chen to death. He could still refute what others said, but these words were said by David Jock. Maybe there are a few people in this world who can question David Jock's words, but he is definitely not one of them.
“This foreigner is pretty good.”
Hearing Lin Ye speak, Zhang Yun quickly responded: "That's right."
Although he couldn't see what was good about it, since Consultant Lin said it was good, it must be good.
etc!
The foreigner said that Qimen boy was a master of magic and he came to China just to meet Qimen boy.
Consultant Lin praised the foreigner again...
Zhang Yun recalled the video of Qimen Boy he had seen, and suddenly slapped his head and exclaimed, "Qimen Boy!"
Yes, the figure of the strange boy in the video is very similar to Consultant Lin, and with Consultant Lin's ability, performing such a magic trick is not easy.
Zhang Yun thought he had solved the case, but then he saw everyone's eyes were on him, and he was a little at a loss for a moment. Consultant Lin obviously wore the mask because he didn't want to reveal his real identity. Wouldn't he have exposed Consultant Lin by shouting?
No, we need to remedy this.
Seeing everyone's gazes, Zhang Yun suddenly raised his hand and shouted loudly: "Qimen boy is awesome, even Mr. David wants to visit him."
cut!
The crowd was disappointed. They thought that this guy must have something wrong with his brain, as he suddenly yelled like that and said such words.
When Lin Ye heard Zhang Yun's sudden words, even with his toughened skin from the other world, he blushed slightly and took a step back.
But what Lin Ye didn't notice was that someone in the crowd had his eyes on him.
