170: Ye Bai is a wandering god
After this magic performance, the internet was in an uproar with discussions.
Almost everyone who watched this Spring Festival Gala was wondering how that magic trick was actually done.
Reading minds with Playing cards, producing Playing cards out of thin air, turning Playing cards into roses, and turning blank paper into banknotes.
Each and every one of these tricks dazzled the eyes of the audience.
For a moment, they all started to wonder if the magic described in fairy tales really existed in this world.
[Do you think magic is real, and the authorities are planning to make it public?]
[Isn't this magician the villain from strange tales from a chinese studio? He is an actor, right? If he could really do magic, why would he be acting? This must be fake; there must be some secret behind it.]
[I tried playing with the Playing cards at home, but I just ended up scattering them everywhere, and my mom beat me with a feather duster.]
[This magician is so handsome, I want to be his fan!]
[Are these programs all Ye Bai's? We should ask him; he should know.]
Ye Bai's name was written at the very front of these program lists; everything from creative direction to directing was credited to Ye Bai.
Except for the performers, whose names were listed as their own.
Chen Chen's performance had not ended yet; he took out a hat and showed everyone a magic trick of pulling a rabbit out of an empty hat.
Only then did the performance conclude, and after he left the stage, the entire venue erupted in applause.
It was the first time they had seen such a spectacular performance, and for a moment, they felt that this year's Spring Festival Gala was insanely good.
Netizens started recommending it to each other, which led many people who had said they would not watch the Spring Festival Gala this year to watch it with skepticism.
"Alright, let us thank the magician Chen Chen for his performance," the host said, holding the microphone. "Tonight has truly opened my eyes to be able to see such a magical performance."
"I think if there really is magic in this world, then Mr. Ye Bai would be the most knowledgeable about it."
As she spoke, the camera panned to Ye Bai. "It is a great honor to have invited Mr. Ye Bai to provide such a wonderful program for this Spring Festival Gala. I wonder if you could clear up our confusion?"
"Does magic really exist in this world?"
Ye Bai's face appeared on the big screen. He was wearing a dark blue suit that looked very high-quality, and his face looked much thinner than it had a while ago.
He had also specifically styled his hair, and at first glance, he looked incredibly handsome.
"I am very happy to be involved in the program arrangements for this Spring Festival Gala," Ye Bai said, greeting everyone. "I am Ye Bai, and I wish everyone a Happy New Year!"
"Hmm... perhaps there is magic in this world, haha. Unfortunately, I have never seen it, and because I haven't seen it, I cannot draw any conclusions."
"However, magic tricks are not magic; they are just a performing art."
"Then, could you reveal the secrets to everyone?" the host asked again.
Ye Bai smiled and shook his head. "There is a very important principle in magic performances: never reveal the secrets to the audience."
The host smiled. "It seems we'll just have to figure it out ourselves. I wonder if the audience at home can solve the mystery behind it?"
"Alright," the host said, returning to the stage with the microphone. "Let us continue with the next program."
"The song 'Love Each Other', let us welcome the singer with applause..."
Many people did not hear what was said next.
Because at this moment, a huge wave of netizens was attacking the Social Media Platform server.
[What? The person in the audience is clearly Wandering God; why are they saying he is Ye Bai?]
[Are you kidding? How could the production team get such simple common knowledge wrong?]
[Why did Wandering God say his name is Ye Bai? Are there two Ye Bais?]
[I told you all long ago that Wandering God and Ye Bai were the same person, but you insisted on calling me a hater...]
[How is that possible! Are you saying Ye Bai makes games, writes songs, films TV series, makes animations, and organizes the Spring Festival Gala all at the same time? And he even found time to write a few books, right!]
[Impossible... absolutely impossible... Wandering God must have assassinated Ye Bai and stolen his name.]
At this moment, the netizens' world was about to collapse.
Especially the toxic solo fans on both sides.
In the Ye Bai toxic solo fan group before the host's interview, a large group of toxic fans was still saying how amazing Ye Bai was and how pathetic Wandering God was.
Otherwise, why would the Spring Festival Gala invite Ye Bai and not Wandering God? They claimed Wandering God only rose to fame by leeching off Ye Bai.
They said if it weren't for Ye Bai, where would Wangzhe be today.
But at this moment in the group.
[Wandering God Hater for Life has left the group chat.]
[Ye God Number One: I don't believe it, I don't believe it! The Spring Festival Gala must have made a mistake. Wandering God must be jealous of Ye Bai and has imprisoned him to take his place!]
[Wandering God is pathetic: ...How could that be possible? How can one person do so many things?]
[Wind Blows Falling Leaves: Do you think it's possible that they are twins? One is named Ye Bai, and one is named Ye Hei. We are fans of Ye Bai, what does that have to do with Ye Hei? Clearly, Ye Bai is more handsome than Wandering God (Image) (Image)]
[Ye Bai's Wife: That's right. Look, Ye Bai is indeed more handsome than Wandering God. Maybe they just happen to look similar; Wandering God is so fat and ugly!]
[I Must Be Dreaming has left the group chat.]
At this moment, Ye Bai, who was the subject of various conspiracy theories, was watching the rest of the performance intently.
Long before the Spring Festival Gala production team told him they would interact with him tonight, he had already guessed what kind of storm would brew online.
But what did that matter?
He, Ye Bai, had never denied that he was Wandering God!
And Wandering God had never denied that he was Ye Bai!
It's perfectly normal for creators to have a few extra aliases. He remembered a director from his past life who would change his name with every film he shot.
The Spring Festival Gala continued, but unfortunately, many people's attention was no longer on it.
They were frantically searching for evidence that Wandering God was not Ye Bai, or that Wandering God was indeed Ye Bai.
[These two are the same person. Isn't Chen Chen the classmate who took a knife for him? That's why Ye Bai let him be on the show.]
[Clearly they aren't the same person. Everyone has seen how good the relationship between Wandering God and Ye Bai is. It's nothing to share the same face; maybe Wandering God thought Ye Bai was handsome and got plastic surgery to look like him!]
[Zhongzhou University student verification: these two are the same person.]
[Heh, I believe you? Ever since that assassination incident, you all just lie through your teeth now.]
[They aren't the same person. Otherwise, how do you explain how one person could do so many things in just one year? And do them all so damn well? Unless he really can do magic, but is that possible?]
[It's hard to say. I think he just taught Chen Chen magic.]
No one was there to answer the netizens' questions.
If you had to say who was suffering the most right now, it would be the Producers of Central Continent.
In a certain small group of Producers.
[Haha! They say Ye Bai is Wandering God.]
[How is that possible!]
[Haha!]
[Haha!]
[...I don't think I want to live anymore.]
