Chapter 259 Wu Bo's Abacus

On the night of the 17th, a magic revealing post suddenly appeared on Tianya. The person who posted the post claimed to be a top magician in China.

Now Now Now You See Me is in theaters, and while some of the magic is explained in the film, others aren't.

People who have watched the movie are naturally very curious, and those who have not watched the movie also want to find out how the movie was made.

First explained the 3 magic tricks of the title.

"First of all, let's look at the first magic trick. Deng Chao actually has two decks of cards in his hand. The first deck contains several sevens of diamonds, and the others are empty shots or face down. The second deck of cards for the audience is A normal racket, but without the 7 of diamonds.

First of all, he took out the first deck of cards and flipped it quickly. The reason for the clearest thing in the eyes of the audience was only the 7 of diamonds, because the 7 of diamonds was inserted in the card pile in the order of several cards, and the other blank cards could not be seen clearly.

As for the patterns on the building, of course they bought the electrician on the building.

The third magician actually has three spoons on his body, which are bent, intact, and broken, and they are placed in the cuffs, jeans waist, and pockets.

First, he took out a complete spoon and tapped it twice to indicate that the spoon was fine, then he raised his hand and took out the broken spoon, pinched the handle end with his thumb and forefinger and let it slide down naturally.

Then the other hand makes a downward posture, and the audience will naturally be psychologically hinted, and finally take out the curved spoon from the cuff with the back of the backhand.

The fourth magic trick is actually an iron gate underneath, which any attentive audience will find out.

After untiing the anklet, I came up just to take a deep breath, and then poured the piranha. There is a situation where the piranha does not bite, that is, when the stomach is full.

But if it smells blood, it will bite regardless of whether it is full or not, so the piranhas that fell down did not attack immediately after being fed, and the bright red water also gushed out from the pipes below.

After that comes the last magic trick, which is actually done by 3D projection.
"It's not bad. If it's really magic, it would make sense according to what he said, but I don't know if they can conjure this effect."

Thousands of words were eloquently written, but Tang An actually read them all without missing a word.

Although some are different from what he shot, the direct editing of the magic of square seven is clever, and it doesn't look like this.

The comments below are also very interesting, except after a wave of 666, some people even said that the landlord who debunked other people's magic is not afraid of being killed by someone hired by Tang An.

"Those who can see the flaws in magic tricks may not be able to conjure magic tricks, otherwise everyone can do magic tricks just by reading some books and videos." Xu Manyun shook his head and laughed.

"That's right, the marking teacher may not be able to do every question without looking at the answers."

"By the way, how much did you pay for them?" Tang An asked again.

"20, I received a text message on my mobile phone, and they did it." Xu Manyun nodded.

"That's fine, just wait and see, this post will definitely be reposted."

"Why don't we find more magicians, and then interview reporters, or arrange a TV program for people to reveal the secret?" Xu Manyun puzzled.

Tang An waved his hand, "Why waste that money, Wu Bo will definitely do it for us, just wait and see."

She was still a little worried, "What if it really affects the box office?"

"We are a movie, and the audience doesn't think that everything in the movie is real, unlike real magicians who worry about being exposed."

"Taking a step back, even if there are any negative effects, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Controversy is a good thing, as long as it is not one-sided."

"Then I'll send someone to watch, and if there is any sign, I will make public relations immediately."

In the big conference room of Chengtian Entertainment, the atmosphere was heavy.

A projection screen at the end of the conference table is displaying comments from major forums and post bars.

For example, Brother Guan is a bit funny. He doesn’t ride a good red rabbit horse. Every time he goes into battle, he carries a big knife and goes out. Moreover, the big knife is always thrown out to kill people, and then he grabs other weapons from others to beat people.

Also, Zhuge Liang is a veterinarian, and a veterinarian in charge of delivering babies. The two catchphrases "I understand a little" and "I need to be quiet" are on my lips all day long.

Huoshao Xinye and Huoshao Bowangpo are gone, and I have time to spend time with my sister-in-law there.

Sun Shangxiang's classic line "The rise and fall of the world, every woman is responsible".

Negative comments are everywhere, some bullshit and some well-founded.

Wu Bo's complexion was a little bad, as if he had worked too hard.

However, when he got angry, he was still full of energy, and the table slammed loudly.

"What the hell is the PR department doing? Why did there suddenly be so many negative comments overnight? Where did the money I approved for you all go!"

Everyone else didn't speak, the director of the public relations department could only bite the bullet and said, "Wu Dong, it was still good before, it seems that since last night, the negative comments have suddenly skyrocketed, and the statistics show that it has almost doubled. It is suspected that Hua Yi did it."

"You don't have to be suspicious, it's clear that Wang Zhongjun did it."

Wu Bo cursed a lot, took a breath and continued, "Is there no response from China Film?"

"I have received a call from their public relations director before, but the cost is not enough. If we carry out public relations, the publicity funds will not be enough, so we can only take care of it." The director of the public relations department said quickly.

"Snapped!"

Another slap on the table, there is no way to do it without money, Southeast Asia is also showing hits now, and a lot of money has to be thrown into it.

"I'd like to see how much Wang Zhongjun can spend!" Wu Bo gritted his teeth and said word by word.

It is already Saturday, and the box office of "Now Now You See Me" rose to 2300 million on the second day, which is already close to the highest box office of "Red Cliff". Today is the first rest day, and it is inevitable to break 2500 million in a single day.

And "Red Cliff" only rose by 300 million yesterday, this is the second Friday, one can imagine how much it was affected.

Originally thought that Wang Zhongjun and Tang An were just manipulative arms, but they didn't expect that the other party would be so willing to spend money. It is estimated that the publicity fee spent so far has exceeded 3000 million, and this is only the third day of the show!

Just as Wu Bo was cursing inwardly, a senior executive suddenly spoke out.

"Wu Dong, there is a very popular post about "Now You See Me" on the Internet, and it is to expose the magic inside."

Wu Bo was suddenly overjoyed and regained his energy, "Where is it, let it out quickly."

After fiddling around, the original post was released on the opposite projection.

If you look closely, you can see through some of the magic tricks in the movie.

Wu Bo suddenly had an idea, and he ordered, "Since this is the case, let's add some trouble to Wang Zhongjun. Go find some magicians, arrange interviews with reporters, and let them criticize "You Now You See Me" for being fake."

"Contact another TV station and ask them to hold a special feature, invite a few magicians to expose the magic in the movie to the audience, and hire some sailors to hype it up."

The most important thing about magic is mystery. Once this veil is lifted, the magic will no longer be.

That's what Wu Bo came up with. The audience came here for the magic theme. Now that the magic has been debunked, they naturally lost interest.

Even if it can't cut the opponent's box office in half, at least it can prevent some audiences from entering the cinema.

Who wants to go to the cinema to see magic tricks that have already been seen on TV?
