Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

Chapter 962: If robots can perform magic tricks, what use is a magician like me?!

Zhang Qi, sitting in the audience, posed this difficult question, while Ge Fu, on stage, looked completely bewildered.

The magic trick he prepared this time was naturally different from the one he performed on the local TV station last time.

However, they all share the common characteristics of being festive, eye-catching, and memorable.

Anyway, magic is more fascinating when itʼs close to magic.

Ge Fu even brought out his most treasured magic tricks this time, preparing to put on a big show on stage.

But before they even got to the important part, the program was stopped halfway through.

”Whatʼs missing?”

Ge Fu pressed for clarification, not quite understanding Director Zhangʼs vague explanation.

”Your performance was too ordinary. Although you did things like turning cannons into fireworks and throwing ribbons, it had no educational value whatsoever.”

Zhang Qi said.

Xiao He twitched the corner of his mouth.

Ge Fu also looked bewildered: ”Our program is all about celebration and blessings. Thereʼs even a ʼdisappearing personʼ segment later on. Director Zhang, perhaps you could watch our performance later on?”

”No, no, whatʼs so interesting about making a person disappear? Other audience members have seen it before. These are all magic tricks that came from abroad, right? You donʼt have any of our traditional Chinese elements at all. And can you guarantee that your magic tricks will be successful on stage? I think you should think about how to ensure the efficiency of your magic tricks...”

Zhang Qi waved his hand, ”Anyway, this magic trick isnʼt working. Youʼd better find a different one.”

Ge Fu: ”...”

Now I understand why magicians in previous years were all playing with math in the end.

On the surface, it is a magic trick that anyone can imitate and replicate, but in reality, the underlying logic is a calculable mathematical law.

But this type of magic trick is not Ge Fuʼs forte.

”Does Director Zhang have any further suggestions?”

Ge Fu could only speak dryly.

Zhang Qi seemed to be deep in thought, his gaze falling on Xiao He. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the online news he had seen some time ago.

”Hey, I heard that AI and robotics are developing very rapidly this year, and the government is intentionally giving them preferential treatment. We can also show off our skills. This year, weʼll do a robot magic trick!”

Zhang Qiʼs eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands. ”This sounds really interesting! And no one has ever performed this before!”

”Think about it, most robots are still quite dull and stupid. If we train them to perform magic tricks, wouldnʼt that mean they can do more delicate work in the future? This is also a form of publicity.”

There was a moment of silence after his suggestion.

Ge Fu was dumbfounded, having never heard of this type of performance before. Xiao He, on the other hand, stared blankly, only thankful that he hadnʼt been assigned to perform a skit with the robot next door.

”Director Zhang, this—”

”You guys think about it again.”

Zhang Qi waved his hand, indicating that after posing the question, he intended to let them figure it out themselves.

Ge Fu: ”...”

And so their review ended in a rather muddled way.

After leaving the field, Ge Fu looked like he was questioning the meaning of life.

”A robot magician? What would I be needed for then?”

Ge Fu was incredulous and turned to Xiao He to ask, ”What exactly do they mean? You canʼt nitpick like this. They didnʼt make this request when they finalized the draft, and now that weʼre almost at the rehearsal stage, they suddenly pull this stunt. If we could just hire a robot to perform, I wouldnʼt be here.”

Xiao He chuckled as well: ”Weʼve only made temporary changes, which at least shows that the production team still has a lot of confidence in us.”

The Spring Festival Gala program is not finalized all at once, but rather through a process of selection. At least until the third joint rehearsal, all programs still have the possibility of being replaced at any moment.

These are very strict and rigid rules, which means that everyone should be prepared to work hard for several months and then leave without even getting on stage.

”Iʼm very sorry, I donʼt have any ideas at the moment.”

Ge Fu said dejectedly, ”I originally thought that this time I could work with you again and the two of us could create other magic tricks with even more special performance effects.”
