I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 294 Su Fan: This is a mysterious and wonderful tool that will be used later

Many indignant reporters responded to the departing special car with international friendly gestures.

Su Fan didn't care about these people's actions. He just started talking to the driver in the front seat.

“How are rehearsals for the show going?”

"Very good, but the guests are constantly changing."

The driver is also a staff member of the TV station and knows some inside information.

"Besides me, who else has the TV station invited as guests?"

"There are many, including the founder of a well-known psychic website and their partner Ms. Ellis, as well as the demonologists Mr. and Mrs. Warren, who are making a comeback with their latest book, 'The Devil's Hour'..."

"In addition, there were witch doctors in New Orleans and so on...but they all rejected the invitation without exception, which made the producer very distressed."

As Su Fan listened, he felt happy.

They are old acquaintances, why don’t you want to come over and meet us?

Or maybe the TV station invited them to come here for something bad.

"The guest seat is finally vacant?"

"No, I finally found the right person."

"Who?"

"Master Christu, the spiritual master who has gained fame recently and is so popular that he can even hold a national tour."

Su Fan showed some interest when he heard this.

Since he can hold a national tour, this guy named Christo obviously has some real skills.

It is interesting that people who are in the psychic circle don’t know their own names.

"Besides that? Who else?"

"This involves the program's confidentiality agreement, and I have no idea."

The driver shrugged as he drove, indicating that he really knew nothing.

“Did my checked baggage arrive at the TV station?”

"You mean the long canvas bag? It's in the studio now."

The driver observed Su Fan through the rearview mirror, his eyes full of curiosity.

However, thinking that Su Fan might also be involved in the confidentiality of the program, he resisted asking more questions.

In this regard, Su Fan also gave a thumbs up to the driver's professionalism in his heart, and then began to close his eyes and rest.

It was almost eleven o'clock and the peak traffic period had long passed. The road was smooth and the driver didn't even have to brake many times.

When we arrived at the TV station building, there was still about half an hour before the show started.

As soon as Su Fan got out of the car, flash lights started lighting up from both sides.

Everyone is very curious about this highly discussed young man.

Su Fan ignored them and quickly entered the building. The many reporters behind him were stopped outside by the building security.

"Mr. Su Fan, I'm from the program team, and I'm here to show you the way."

As soon as I entered the building, a short, stout man came forward and raised his hand in invitation.

"Sir, this direction."

Su Fan nodded slightly and followed him into the elevator.

After the elevator door closed, the man spoke and announced his identity.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Jack's partner, my name is Gus."

"Mr. Gus, you didn't go to prepare the show, but came to greet me. You must have something to say to me, right?"

"Sir, you are such a straightforward person. I came here this time to ask you to try to... tolerate some of Jack's words and the questions he raised. All of this is for the effect of the show."

The elevator ride was very short, and seeing that Su Fan was an open-minded person, Gus didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his request.

"The situation he is facing now is very difficult. He just suffered the pain of losing his wife a while ago..."

Before Gus could finish his words, Su Fan interrupted him by shaking his head.

“I can accept doubts, but the so-called program effect should also have a limit.

Grasping this limit is his basic quality as a host.

Any normal person knows the difference between joking and disrespect.

No need to say more. ”

Gus didn't expect Su Fan to refuse so straightforwardly, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

In the past, guests would generally express their understanding after listening to it.

Why does it have no effect on Su Fan?
After realizing that what he said had no effect, Gus sighed and wisely stopped talking.

Su Fan on the side was not moved at all.

It is indeed pitiful to go through the pain of losing your wife, but this is no reason to take advantage of others.

For some things, there are two different things when others do it themselves and when you actively ask for it.

Using this kind of reason as an exemption carries a strong sense of moral kidnapping, which makes people feel disgusted.

The elevator quickly reached the target floor. After stepping out, we could see many relevant personnel making preparations in an orderly manner.

From time to time, the sound of people whispering could be heard in the distance; it was obvious that the audience for the show had already taken their seats.

"Gus!"

No one around had time to even look at the two of them, but a man in a light-colored suit was the first to call out and walk over quickly.

Obviously, he had been staring at the elevator entrance for a long time.

"Mr. Su Fan, I've been waiting for a long time. I'm Jack, the host of this program."

The man was thin, with slightly prominent cheekbones. He gave Su Fan a kind smile and looked very enthusiastic. However, no matter how skilled he was at pretending, he could not conceal the sophistication in his eyes.

Jack stretched out his hand, wanting to be polite, but Su Fan in front of him didn't seem to have that intention.

The latter's eyes did not fall on Jack's face, but glanced at a distance behind him.

"Mr. Sufan?"

Jack called out in confusion, and Su Fan then turned his attention back to him, but there was a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.

"Hello."

Su Fan nodded and greeted him, but showed no intention of extending his hand.

Such a lack of respect made even Jack, the talk show host, smile frozen.

But soon, he sent out an invitation.

"It looks like Mr. Su Fan is a little tired, but the show still has to go on. I'll take you around here first to familiarize you with the stage."

Seeing that Su Fan did not refuse, Jack breathed a sigh of relief.

He pulled a piece of paper out of his suit pocket and handed it over.

"The basic flow of the program is all written down on this piece of paper. It's quite complicated, so you can take a look at it first."

Since this is a special topic on the supernatural, in order to ensure the best possible feedback from the audience, the program team invited a large portion of the audience to be true outsiders.

That is, amateurs who have not participated in rehearsals and exercises.

Which ones are the insiders mixed in? They are respectively responsible for that part of the interaction, as well as the key steps and how to use the props.

Many precautions were densely written on both sides of a piece of paper.

"It seems a bit much, but please try to remember it. It doesn't matter if you can't remember it clearly. Someone will guide you when the time comes..."

Jack did not take this opportunity to retaliate against the young man who did not give him face.

Whether he can continue to stay in the TV station and create greater success depends entirely on the success of this program, and the success of the program depends on whether the guests’ program effects are sufficient.

Even though he was somewhat dissatisfied with Su Fan's arrogant behavior, Jack still knew what was more important.

"These preparations are irrelevant."

But who could have expected that Su Fan had no intention of taking over, and didn't even look at the note.

This action caused all the rustling sounds around to pause.

The staff looked at the guest, their eyes full of disbelief.

It would be fine if they didn't come to participate in the program rehearsal, but they prepared so hard, but were looked down upon by the other party.

Such arrogance caused anger to show on the faces of most of the staff.

"This……"

Jack didn't know how to smooth things over, so he had to ask directly.

"Then what Mr. Su Fan means is..."

"When the time comes, the spiritual communication process will be normal, and these things will not be needed." The answer given by Su Fan surprised Jack.

It turns out that what he did before was not carelessness or contempt, but rather the result of his great skill and boldness.

Is this guy so confident in his psychic abilities?

"Ok."

Since the other party asked for it, Jack said nothing more.

He has met all kinds of people, so he can roughly understand each other's temper.

Obviously, the decision made by the young man in front of him could not be changed by just a few words.

If all else fails, there’s still Master Christo to back you up.

At that time, we can temporarily switch to the comparison between real and fake psychics.

The ability to adapt to changing circumstances is also an essential quality for a talk show host.

Just as Jack was thinking about this, a voice suddenly came to his ears.

"How could you just watch this happen...Jack."

The familiar words made Jack tremble violently, as if struck by lightning.

He turned his head in surprise, only to see that the source of the voice was Su Fan behind him.

"Why do you say that?"

Jack calmed himself down and asked.

"You should know it clearly."

The young man in front of him just looked at him.

At this moment, the staff's shouts were heard not far away.

"Jack! The producer wants you to come over!"

"Okay! Be there soon!"

Jack immediately turned around and ran away from Su Fan without even saying goodbye.

But even though his back was to the young man, he seemed to be able to feel his gaze.

The sight that kept moving between himself and the empty void.

……

Su Fan shifted his gaze away from Jack's panicked back and randomly found a staff member.

"Where's my canvas bag? Have you got it?"

"That thing is hung on the wall over there."

The other person pointed to the back of the stage.

"Right there."

"Thank you."

After the staff member answered, his eyes suddenly noticed Su Fan's bulging pockets and chest.

"Can I ask what's in those pockets of yours? It looks like paper."

"This."

Su Fan pointed to his pocket and gave a meaningful smile.

"These are mysterious and wonderful tools that will be used later."

……

Jack trotted to the studio, pushed open the door and went in.

The producer, wearing intercom headphones, is making final confirmations with various departments.

"Sir, here comes Jack."

The program coordinator turned around only after hearing the reminder from the people around him.

"You're here at last, Jack."

The program producers showed great enthusiasm for Jack's visit.

Such an attitude made Jack a little confused, and he even forgot the strange conversation between him and the young man before.

As the input and the effort are not proportional, the show "Night Owl" is facing the risk of being suspended.

The attitudes of many producers and senior executives in the station towards Jack changed from initial enthusiasm to cold words and indifference.

The other party's attitude now reminded him of the days when he was at the peak of his career.

Jack couldn't help but recall the time when everything was going well, his lover was by his side, and the show was at its peak...

While Jack was still immersed in the memories of the past, the producer took the initiative to walk up to him, took his hand, and brought him to a screen.

"Jack, do you know what this is?"

"what?"

“This is the popularity list of online live broadcasts!”

The producer sounded excited.

"This time the live broadcast is on both TV and the Internet. Look at how popular it is!"

"Just the Internet platform has created such a grand event!"

"You're a genius! The benefits brought by that young man are beyond imagination!"

Jack suddenly came to his senses after hearing this, and grabbed the display screen with both hands. His wide eyes reflected the constantly refreshing comments.

From these fragments, Jack learned about what happened between Su Fan and the many media reporters in front of his store.

He said nothing, everyone gave way to him, and then he made that final gesture.

Has he always been this arrogant?
This thought arose in Jack's mind, and he suddenly felt relieved about Su Fan's previous behavior.

"Listen Jack, I know he didn't cooperate with the rehearsal before, and someone just told me that his attitude was arrogant and annoying."

"But now the show can be so popular, it can be said that most of the credit comes from him. No matter what, at least we have to coax him to cooperate and finish this episode!"

The producer's voice came from behind, sobering up Jack's brain, which was a little dizzy due to the exciting news.

"No problem. But what I told you before..."

"You mean, the suggestion of reducing the number of psychic segments in the show?"

After hearing what Jack said, the producer's face, which had been as warm as spring breeze before, suddenly turned cold.

"As a host, you should know that the most attractive part of this special planning is the spiritual channeling session."

"But you still want to reduce this part."

"Have you forgotten that whether we can renew the contract with the TV station and revive the show all depends on this live broadcast?"

"I know, but..."

Jack looked struggling, and still wanted to give it another try.

"No buts!"

The producer interrupted him rudely, causing Jack's words to get stuck in his throat.

Perhaps realizing that his attitude was a bit too tough, the producer's expression softened a little.

"Don't worry, Jack, your worries are unnecessary."

"Look in front of you. Are you willing to let this heat fade away?"

"The Internet has become so popular, just imagine what the situation will be like on TV platforms with a larger audience base?!"

The producer's voice is low and seductive.

"This is an opportunity you have finally obtained. The chance to reach the top of the ratings doesn't come around all the time."

"Just this once, Jack, you understand, just this once."

"As long as you can persist, money... fame... status... and everything you desire will be within your reach."

"Think about it, how much you have paid for today, can you bear to let all those efforts become meaningless and useless?"

Jack was stunned.

He turned to look at the screen.

The comments above kept flashing, making his face flicker.

After a moment, he finally spoke.

"I understand...the show will proceed as planned."
