Chapter 49 - 49 49 Breaking Point
?Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Breaking Point Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Breaking Point Wu Mu and Wang Xiaotian—both equipped with program effects—were throwing pitches that each could catch, and with Lu Yao, the fool, stirring things up on the side.
The entire process was quite fascinating.
But fascinating as it was, it seemed to still lack some explosive moments.
The kind where you could keep watching, but not enough to make you look forward to what would happen next.
Mo Songlin thought to himself.
And as he was thinking this.
“Director Lin, let me give it a try,” Wu Mu on the program began to showcase his talent.
“He knows magic too?” Gu Yu remarked with interest.
Mo Mo was also surprised. Teacher Wu Mu is really versatile, always coming up with something fresh.
Her eyes were glued to Wu Mu, thinking if she could spot any flaws in his magic and then later brag about it to Teacher Wu Mu via a text message.
Wu Mu pulled out a coin and then had Lin Qingyue clench her fist around his hand.
The TV camera switched to a close-up of their hands.
After he blew on it, “The coin is already in Director Lin’s hand.”
“That fast?” Mo Mo was startled for a moment, let alone spotting any slip-ups, she hadn’t seen any movement from Teacher Wu Mu’s hands.
Not just her, the guests at the program were also astonished.
The camera swept over them, their faces all reflecting shock, with Lu Yao stretching her neck, almost trying to peek inside Lin Qingyue’s palm.
Wu Mu opened his palm, and no coin fell.
“It must be hidden between his fingers,” Mo Songlin guessed.
It wasn’t hard to guess; the tricky part was how the coin ended up in Lin Qingyue’s tightly clenched fist.
Lin Qingyue opened her palm, which was completely empty.
This…
Gu Yu hesitated, “Did the magic fail?”
“It’s in the other hand,” Wu Mu said, as if he had heard her thoughts.
“I get it, he must have diverted everyone’s attention to his left hand earlier, and took the opportunity to slip the coin into the director’s right hand,” Mo Songlin speculated.
That’s the typical trick of magicians, shifting people’s focus, then using their cognitive blind spots to perform the magic.
As he thought this.
Lin Qingyue opened her other hand.
There was no coin in there either.
Mo Songlin was baffled, this hand too?
Did Wu Mu’s magic really fail?
Both he and Gu Yu thought Wu Mu’s magic had failed.
When Mo Mo saw the note in Lin Qingyue’s hand, a sense of alarm greatly surged within her, not believing that Teacher Wu Mu would…
A hand moved swiftly like lightning to snatch the note away, and then bolted.
On the TV, everyone was dumbfoundedly watching Wu Mu as he fled outwards; everyone seemed frozen in place, only Wu Mu desperately darting outward.
Mo Songlin: “…”
Gu Yu: “…”
Unbelievable!
Wu Mu was actually aiming to snatch the notes from start to finish!
They were still there wondering about other people’s magic tricks.
Mo Songlin and Gu Yu were already speechless.
But Mo Mo had confirmed her own guess, covering her face with her hand and sighing, “I knew Teacher Wu Mu would do such a thing!”
He was such a prankster!
He really couldn’t stand not playing pranks every day!
Gu Yu laughed, shaking his shoulders, “Your Teacher Wu Mu is so interesting, haha, how did he think of this method.”
Mo Songlin also found it amusing, “He is indeed pretty fun.”
The highlight moment had arrived!
From when Wu Mu snatched the notes, he felt the atmosphere of the program change in an instant, the whole thing started to speed up, from just being purely fun before, to making the audience look forward to what was coming next.
…
“Hahahaha, Wu Dog is just too fun, how can he be so bad!” Han Yan held her best friend Zhang Li, almost laughing until she vomited.
“Quick, quick, let’s see what everyone is saying in the comments!”
She straightened up, urging Zhang Li to open the comments, eager to know how the other viewers felt about Wu Mu’s recent actions.
Zhang Li, also smiling, opened the comments section on the video website.
The comments section was exploding.
“66666”
“Wu Dog’s slick moves, I truly admire! He really adds so much to the show!”
“Hahaha, I just adjusted the video speed to 0.5, trying to see how Wu Dog’s magic tricks worked, but I didn’t expect that he didn’t plan to perform any magic at all!”
“Adjusted to 0.5, when I saw that Director Lin didn’t have anything in his other hand, I was completely dumbfounded, still wondering how amazing his magic was, that he just made the coin disappear.”
“The guests’ reactions were hilarious, completely dumbfounded by Wu Dog’s actions, just watching him run away.”
“Haha, Lu Yao’s expression was the funniest, totally blank, as if her CPU was about to burn out, probably thinking ‘Who am I, where do I come from?'”
“What’s this star’s name? He’s so funny.”
The comments densely packed the entire screen.
Han Yan felt a sense of relief seeing her feelings being expressed by others, giggling, “I really didn’t expect Wu Dog’s new show could be this fun, lucky I came over to your place today, Lili, this scene alone is enough to keep me laughing for a week.”
She wasn’t satisfied just laughing; she grabbed the keyboard and replied to the latest comment: “To the one in front, even Wu Dog doesn’t know? Search ‘fallen idol Wu Mu’, and it’ll pop up. Just enjoy his antics, don’t become his fan, or else you’ll be overwhelmed by his anti-fans.”
Zhang Li watched her actions, both speechless and amused.
After Han Yan replied to the comments, she simply opened the real-time comment section to see what everyone was saying.
Checking it out, she was surprised; unexpectedly, all the comments were praising Wu Mu, and many were calling for him to become a regular guest.
“Feels like inviting Wu Mu this time was really good, the show’s appeal has increased several levels.”
“Director Lin should just kick out that idiot Zhang Haoran, replace him with Wu Mu! Although Wu Mu is also handsome, disgustingly so, at least he doesn’t pretend.”
“Director Lin’s fans agree to kick out Zhang Haoran, and it’d be best to kick out Zhang Lifeng too! Director Lin’s show isn’t popular, these two are largely to blame.”
“I feel bad for Director Lin, a university work of hers won an international gold award; if not for these two dragging it down, would the show be performing like this now? When I recommend Director Lin to my friends, they search this show and think I have bad taste, liking a director who can’t do variety.”
Looking at the last comment, Han Yan was quite surprised and asked, “Is this show’s director famous, why does it seem like she has a lot of fans?”
Having done her homework earlier, Zhang Li nodded, “She’s quite famous in literary circles, having directed several award-winning short films, even won a gold award for short films at the Venice International Film Festival, and she’s the daughter of renowned director Lin Xueming, plus she’s pretty, so she has many fans in the literary circles.”
That was indeed impressive.
Han Yan nodded, not too focused on such matters, continuing to watch the show.
