Night.
It was getting dark.
Dong Xuebing looked at the time, and it was already 7 pm.
That means Dong Xuebing's magic trick had taken up more than 20 minutes of the show's time. Normally, during a gala, singing, dancing, or magic show, even a skit will not last more than 20 minutes. But Dong Xuebing's performance lasted for a long time, and the audience did not feel it was a drag. They even lost their sense of time. The magic trick had ended in just a few minutes, and many people still want to watch the show.
"Secretary Dong!"
"One more show!"
"That's right! One more show! "
Dong Xuebing had already walked down the stage, and he laughed when he heard that. He picked up the microphone and said. "We do not have a repeat performance. Thank you all for your support. There will be more exciting performances later." After saying that, he handed the microphone to a staff member and walked to the backstage.
"Next, please enjoy the performance by the Central Government Song and Dance Troupe, < Spring Breeze >!" The female host introduced the next performance.
"Ah?"
"Central Government Song and Dance Troupe?"
"Really? Such a famous performing troupe is here? "
"You all only know about this now? Didn't you all watch the news from Jiaolin County yesterday? "
Most people had seen the news and knew about it, but there were still a small number of people who didn't know. This was a heavyweight group, and it could be said that they were famous. Everyone's attention was drawn away from the wonderful magic show just now and focused on the stage.
Backstage.
Dong Xuebing was standing at the backstage.
Director Sun did not direct the cameras and walked up to Dong Xuebing. He laughed. "Xuebing, your performance is amazing."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "I did it on the spur of the moment and did not expect it to be so effective."
"It's more than effective. Even our backstage staff were stunned." Director Sun asked. "Oh, how did you do your magic?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "I just did it like that."
Director Sun was puzzled. "All magic tricks need props and must be set up in advance. You said you do not need any props for your impromptu performance, and I thought you are going to perform some close-up magic tricks like playing cards or steel balls. Who knows you will perform such a big magic trick? How did you set up the magic?" Director Sun paused for a while and said. "You did not set up the magic tricks at all. I had been directing the performance at the venue, and I only saw you coming over a few times. You are so busy, and how come you have the time to set up the stage and the fake mountain?"
Dong Xuebing blinked. "It's a magic trick, and no one should know about it. Don't ask me. Even if you ask me, I will not tell you. Hahaha."
Director Sun replied angrily. "You are too stifling."
As an experienced stage director, Director Sun had directed many magic shows and knew the tricks in most of the magic tricks. He knows there are unwritten rules among magicians, and many secrets must not be revealed to outsiders. But Director Sun is a director, and if you want to do anything to the chairs or the stage, you must inform Director Sun first. Also, most of the shows had been rehearsed and approved in advance, and most of the secrets were already exposed. Director Sun is no stranger to this. But this time, Director Sun saw Dong Xuebing's magic trick, and he was shocked. He did not see how Dong Xuebing set up the magic tricks, nor did he see the props. He did not even notice how Dong Xuebing changed the magic tricks.
"Xuebing." Chen Ying had finished her makeup and walked out with a smile.
Dong Xuebing waved to her. "Old friend, you are so pretty today."
Chen Ying laughed. "No matter how pretty I am, I will not be as pretty as your magic trick. I was jumping up and down when I saw it. One wave after another. It was thrilling and funny. It's perfect."
Dong Xuebing replied. "Alright. Stop flattering me."
At this time, Teacher Zhou Xuguo walked over. "Your acting is really beautiful. Haha … well done." Dong Xuebing was flattered to get Teacher Zhou's approval.
Zhou Xuguo is also a celebrity, but he is not just a celebrity. For example, Chen Ying, Liu Han, Li Mengmeng. All of them have more fans and popularity than Zhou Xuguo. After all, this is the era of young people and pop songs. Zhou Xuguo's popularity and fans are not even a third of them. But in terms of status and seniority, Chen Ying, Liu Han, and the rest combined cannot be compared to Zhou Xuguo. Liu Han might be popular, but she is only a singer and will never become an artist.
A few foreigners were standing in front of Dong Xuebing.
That foreign singer, Ai Mi, was talking to Dong Xuebing in English, and that SS band's drummer was also very excited and said a lot of things in English.
"% ¥# @!"
“%###@@！”
Dong Xuebing immediately laughed. "Thank you! THANK！”
In the end, Ai Mi gave Dong Xuebing a thumbs up and made an admiring expression.
Director Sun was surprised and whispered to Dong Xuebing. "You know English? How come I didn't hear you mention this before? "
Dong Xuebing replied softly. "How can I understand English? I think she is praising me, and I should thank her. I only know a few sentences in English."
Director Sun: "… …"
Chen Ying burst out laughing when she heard that.
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "I will be leaving now. I still have a lot of work to do."
Director Sun said, "In the future, if you don't want to be a civil servant, remember to look for me. If you join a magic show, you will definitely be a superstar. I can guarantee you this." These words sounded like a joke, but there was a hint of seriousness in his tone.
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Don't joke around. I will continue to serve the people."
When Director Sun heard this, he smiled and did not say anything else. He hurriedly put on his headset and went to command the scene. The command location was relatively simple. It was just a shed backstage. A few instruments and televisions were set up. After a while, Director Sun's voice came from the room, "Camera 3, don't just keep shooting from the distance. Give me a close-up too!"
Dong Xuebing walked out from the backstage and bent down slightly to avoid being caught on the live broadcast. He quickly walked to the fourth row of seats in the western area. This is the investors' section, and the people who had attended yesterday and today's event are the bosses and key personnel of the companies. There are less than 300 people here. Dong Xuebing had chosen to sit here instead of the first row with the leaders because the purpose of this event is to attract investors. This is what Dong Xuebing needs to do, and his focus is on the investors and not the so-called leaders. Even if the others are close to the leaders and think they should sit in the first row, Dong Xuebing does not mind.
"Oh, Secretary Dong is here."
"Hahaha … Brother Dong, you are amazing."
"How did you perform the magic? Quick, tell us."
Dong Xuebing had chatted with many people when they alighted from the plane and got along well with them. After the magic performance, everyone is more interested in Dong Xuebing and wants to chat with him.
This is the charm of this bro!
Dong Xuebing thought to himself and chatted with the rest. To not disturb them, he lowered his voice.
Zhang Dongfang had gone to the toilet and saw Dong Xuebing sitting with the investors. He exchanged looks with Dong Xuebing, and Dong Xuebing also gave him a look. Zhang Dongfang nodded and went to the first row to sit with the leaders. Since Dong Xuebing is here, there is no need for the County's No. 1 and No. 2 leaders to accompany him. Also, Zhang Dongfang trusts Dong Xuebing, and Dong Xuebing's relationship with the investors is better than him. That's why he let Dong Xuebing handle the guests and went to the other side.
The song and dance performance ended.
Dozens of singers from the Central Government Song and Dance Troupe performed.
Although this performance was not as exciting as Dong Xuebing's magic, the audience still applauded for them. It was an honor to be able to watch their performance live. Although this performance was not as exciting as Dong Xuebing's magic, the audience still applauded for them.
"Who is the next performer?"
"I am looking forward to it."
"Ah! Chen Ying is coming out! "
"It's Chen Ying! Chen Ying, I love you! "
Chen Ying walked onto the stage, and the crowd cheered for her. Even Zhang Dongfang and Dong Xuebing did not receive such treatment when they were on the stage.
The music started.
Chen Ying sang one of her songs. It's called.
Chen Ying's voice was not that unique and her singing skills were slightly lacking. It was no wonder that her single was not very popular. However, Chen Ying was just a movie actress. She relied on her acting skills and acted in television dramas and movies. This was her profession and her area of expertise. She did not walk the path of music, nor did she study at a music academy. Therefore, it was already very good for her to be able to perform this well. At least, no one could say that this song was not nice to listen to.
The song ended.
Chen Ying smiled and bowed to the audience.
The audience burst into loud applause and screams. Some people in the crowd raised their placards with the words "Chen Ying" written on it. The placards are very bright under the night sky. This was the charm of a celebrity. She had the backing of popularity. Actually, no matter what Chen Ying sang or how good she sang, as long as she stood there, the applause and cheers from the audience would definitely be loud.
Unfair?
Nothing is unfair.
Today's applause was earned through Chen Ying's hard work. She had accumulated it bit by bit. No one could be envious or jealous of her.
