The auditorium was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Except for the few spectators who were still in condition, everyone in the audience felt huge waves in their hearts.

First, they were shocked by the judges' blatant fraud, and second, they were shocked by Tong Ran's tough attitude.

Tong Ran questioned the fairness of the competition, and it can be said that Tong Ran was naive and energetic; but when Xu Jinfeng was exposed on the spot and in the live broadcast room, people had to worry.

That's a direct descendant of the Xu family!

The more niche a circle is, the more closed it is and the more stable its class is.

Since Mr. Xu Qiong first appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage in the 1980s, the Xu family has become a leader in the domestic magic circle. For more than thirty years, it has never been shaken.

Although in recent years, with the rise of variety shows and short videos, the magic circle has expanded rapidly, with emerging forces constantly joining the competition, and many new magicians being loved by the audience. But even such as ""

‌Hua", one of the top domestic magic brokerage companies, is still at a disadvantage when facing the Xu family.

Because Mr. Xu Qiong is still standing tall, his disciples’ old friends are spread throughout the system, and because the Xu family firmly controls the Spring Festival Gala magic stage.

If a magician wants to step into the public eye and increase his popularity, attending the Spring Festival Gala is the fastest way.

Over the past few decades, only three or five "foreign magicians" have had the opportunity to appear in the Spring Festival Gala, and all of them have worshiped the Xu family.

In short, if you just want to get along in the magic world, you don't have to worry about the Xu family's attitude, but if you have higher pursuits, the Xu family must not be offended.

With your childlike abilities and spirit, are you willing to be just an ordinary magician?

Does he know what he's facing?

If he knew, would he still dare to do it?

Everyone held their breath and looked at the two people confronting each other on and off the stage.

Xu Jinfeng sat stiffly in his seat, his mind went blank, and he felt that he had never been so embarrassed in more than 20 years.

Although no one was speaking at the scene, he seemed to hear countless whispers. Everyone was laughing at him and looking down on him.

He knows that the best solution now is to stand on the stage and perform a wonderful magic trick to prove to everyone that it is not that he is cowardly and avoids fighting, but that he is childish and conceited and does not know how high the sky is.

But he doesn't have the ability.

Xu Jinfeng had to find a lame excuse: "I regretted giving up acting because of a sudden attack of tenosynovitis in my fingers. I don't understand how you came to the conclusion of 'I'm afraid of you'. Maybe you are too young."

"

Tong Ran only smiled.

It's not very harmful, but it's extremely insulting.

Xu Jinfeng pinched his palms and said with a straight face: "The result is over, please respect the game."

"I respect that."

Tong Ran slowly withdrew her gaze and looked at the award presenter with an awkward smile on the side, "Because I respect the competition, I cannot accept the second place."

At the end of his words, he bowed to the audience and then left the stage.

He did not return to his seat and walked straight to the door of the auditorium.

Xin Xue glanced at the judges' table coldly, stood up and left with Tong Ran.

After ‌, Jiuyu, pretty, Tian Jiao and others also chose to leave the show and made their stance clear with a clear attitude. Even the ‌ Student Magic Association, which was the organizer, also left together.

Looking at their backs, Xie Qiulu, who was holding a certificate on the stage, suddenly felt courageous.

He is just a low-level magician struggling on the edge of the professional circle. His talents are mediocre and he never expected to have a far-reaching future.

Then what are you afraid of?

China has an audience of 1.4 billion, and the performance stage is so vast. You can go to the streets, bars, and countless small commercial performances. How can the Xu family manage it?

If you are not even afraid of children, why should you be afraid?

Xie Qiulu sneered, handed the certificate back to the host who was still stunned, and left without saying a word.

Such a dramatic development made the scene even more embarrassing, and the only player left on the stage, Hu Chao, was even more at a loss.

Fortunately, the presenter was quite thick-skinned and forced a smile to smooth things over: "Young people nowadays all have character, haha!"

But the audience did not support him as he expected, and everyone was silent.

The guest was also a little tired of acting, and reminded angrily: "Is there still one award left to be awarded?"

The host just came back to his senses, managed to say a few clichés, and asked the etiquette lady to present the certificate.

The guest presented the certificate to Hu Chao, who responded with a stiff smile.

And just when Hu Chao unfolded the certificate and was about to take a photo, he heard a "clatter" sound and ten poker cards suddenly fell from the certificate.

The playing cards were scattered all over the floor, and all the face-up cards were ghost cards——

The corners of the clown's mouth were raised high, and there were tears in his eyes.

Tong Ran followed Xin Xue back to the car in silence, but her mood was not as depressed as everyone had imagined.

He was just analyzing what led to the current result.

"I can't figure it out," Tong Ran frowned slightly, "No matter how unprofessional the exchange competition is, it is still a competition for the general public. What on earth are they doing so much to hold Hu Chao up?

one?"

Even with the support of Xu Jinfeng from Miracle House, the ranking of the competition is based on a combination of judges' scores and online voting. Xu Jinfeng's attitude cannot affect the outcome at all, unless...

"Hu Chao is the person favored by the sponsors?" That's not right either. Even if the other two judges are under pressure from the sponsors, what do they have to worry about given Wang Yaochun's qualifications and status?

And where is Wang Yaochun?

Tong Ran can feel that the other party appreciates her, so why would she allow this kind of result to happen?

It not only hurts you, but also the credibility of the judges on the scene.

"Maybe it's because of the Xu family." Xin Xue said hesitantly.

Tong Ran was stunned, "Before today, I didn't offend anyone in their family, right?"

"I heard some rumors recently..." Xin Xue studied at a magic agency called "Whale Transformation" and knew a lot of gossip, "The current person in charge of the Xu family is called Xu Xiuping.

That is, the second grandson of Mr. Xu Qiong. He is completely different from Mr. Xu Qiong. His behavior is very domineering. In order to pave the way for the younger generation of the Xu family, Xu Xiuping suppressed potential newcomers in the same period more than once.

"This year, the Xu family seems to be recommending a new person, saying that it is confirmed to participate in the Yan City Magician Competition. Is it possible that they found out that you are also preparing to participate, but they are not sure that they can win you, so...

Don’t want you to compete?”

"Why don't you just screen me out when you sign up?" Tong Ran shook her head, "It's totally unnecessary to make the competition as chaotic as it is now and completely lose the credibility of the competition."

"Why is it not necessary?" Xin Xue said, "The Yan City Magician Competition is a professional competition, and the attention and authority cannot be compared with the amateur competition. If they want to screen you out, they have to use a fig leaf. I think,

They won't let you get it just in the beginning. Later, they will ask some well-known magicians to comment on your magic and devalue the value of your magic..."

Tong Ran was thoughtful, Xin Xue said it was not impossible.

Even the greatest magician is always surrounded by doubts, and the more magical the performance, the more doubts there are.

After his video went viral yesterday, some people, like Ma Yue, questioned that the viewers were all asking for help because some people are naturally resistant to magic and cannot accept being fooled.

.

In this case, if an authority comes forward to provide evidence, it is inevitable that some viewers will be led away.

"Keke, suppose our speculation is true, what would you do?" Xin Xue didn't know that Tong Ran had a reason to participate, so she persuaded, "I don't think there is a need to go head-to-head. There are many professional competitions at the same level.

, How about we change to something else? Otherwise, once we confront the Xu family, although there is no chance, there will be no trouble."

Tong Ran: "Let me think about it."

"Xiao P, if there are force majeure factors, can the task be changed?"

"The situation the host is currently facing is not within the prediction range of this program, and this program needs to be recalculated."

When Tong Ran heard the word "calculate" mentioned in the app, she couldn't help but feel her heart twitch.

Fortunately, after a burst of electric beep, the app gave a satisfactory answer.

"The host can be changed once, but it will cost 2,000 points."

Tong Ran was delighted: "What is the new mission?"

"First, participate in the 2020 China Magic Cup and win the championship; second, participate in the 2020 Baoan International Magic Festival and win the championship; third, successfully perform an SSR-level magic."

"..."

Are you calling for a replacement? You're calling for an upgrade!

Although the "Bagras Effect" is also classified as SSR level by the system, that is because it has a special meaning and does not meet the standard in terms of technical difficulty!

But Tong Ran suddenly thought of the reward that he had not redeemed, and thought that he might be able to challenge it.

"Let's wait and see what happens." With a way out, he doesn't have to compete in a certain competition.

"It's not good to just wait and see what happens," Xin Xue suddenly laughed, "If they use public opinion to trick you, of course we have to make good use of it. How can we waste the free popularity?"

Tong Ran's mind suddenly moved, and she immediately understood what Xin Xue wanted to do, and smiled and said, "I'll listen to my sister's arrangements."

While the two were discussing the plan, Tong Ran was already having a quarrel in Chaohua.
