Chapter 977: Great! The top salesperson has arrived!
The performance was absolutely fantastic.
Although most of the later parts of the performance were relatively basic magic tricks, and people had seen similar tricks in other magic shows, the performance was far more effective than that of an ordinary magician simply because the big thing behind Xiao He was different.
Before the show even ended, topics about this magic performance dominated the online charts, surpassing all the previous shows and firmly occupying all the trending search positions.
—Although the Spring Festival Gala is criticized every year, it is undeniable that every year there is still a group of viewers who are not giving up or who want to have some fun, so they turn on the channel and watch the live broadcast online as soon as possible.
Especially the first hour or so, which is the prime time for the show and when people watch the most.
As a result, as a magic show scheduled during prime time, many people saw the live performance immediately and started inviting their friends to watch the live stream.
Xiao He's name also flooded the screen.
As the performance drew to a close, Xiao He and Ge Fu, just like last year, delivered their prepared auspicious words and blessings at the end of the show. Accompanied by the confetti and ribbons created by Ge Fu and the robotic arm, they bowed gracefully amidst a shower of glitter and cheers from the audience.
Even the mechanical arm behind Xiao He bowed to everyone in a very human-like manner.
The scene before our eyes really has a cool feeling of mechanical half-bodies following us like shadows, sharing life and death. It doesn't give people a strange feeling at all. Instead, it makes people look forward to it and yearn for it. Will they be able to have the same mechanical device in the future?
To put it simply, who wouldn't want to drink a Coke and eat fries while playing video games with both hands?
And you just used it as a firework launcher, didn't you?
Are you really sure this thing can only hold fireworks?
A few years ago, when mechanical dogs appeared on stage, they could only roll around and greet people. Look at where they are now the best-selling items.
Cough cough, I won't say, °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° I won't say.
Many people were still enjoying themselves when the show ended.
Next up on stage was the familiar robot martial arts team.
But I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel like this martial arts team is no different from last year's—or rather, compared to Xiao He's mechanical arm, these machines are simply inferior.
This makes it even more agonizing.
If the audience at the live stage felt this way, one can only imagine how it was for other netizens watching the live stream online.

Did you see today's magic show? I think it was the best show of the year, much better than the robot skit at the beginning.
【You're being too conservative. I think this magic show is the best it's been in recent years. My family doesn't usually watch the Spring Festival Gala anymore; we just listen to it in the background. But this time, with the magic show featuring transforming mechs, everyone gathered around to watch.】
【Which genius came up with the idea of putting Xiao He and Ge Fu together to perform magic? I really think they could form a permanent magic duo for the Spring Festival Gala. Their magic show on Beijing TV last year was particularly amazing, but I didn't expect that this year on CCTV, the performance would be even more spectacular, truly an eye-opener.】
【Yes, yes, I think magic shows should be like this. It's memorable and eye-catching, and everyone, young and old, loves watching it. Instead, they do those mindless games that everyone tries to play, which are pointless and just give us students extra math problems. It's so annoying!】
【Hilarious! You thought tonight's magic show wouldn't pose any questions for you students? Just that robotic arm of Xiao He's already gave me the potential for several political science questions. If this is followed by questions about robotic arm development and AI, you can expect to be writing essays on Chinese language exams when school starts!】
【How on earth is this done? Can anyone explain? Is the mechanical arm behind Xiao He being controlled by someone? Or is it based on a fixed code template? Is Xiao He performing in coordination with the machine?】
【I think there must be someone backstage manipulating things! Isn't Xiao He an actor? Performing without props should be his forte. As long as the movements and rhythms assigned to him and the robotic arm are planned in advance, it's normal to create this kind of robot magic trick effect on stage.】
【So this robotic arm is fake, or just a prop?】
【It's definitely CG effects! The Spring Festival Gala always loves to use these eye-catching tricks, but there's nothing actually produced.】
【Your CG effects are terrible? Do you think the audience is blind?!】
【No, no, I think anyone who watched that show wouldn't say the robotic arm was fake. And just based on its high level of coordination with Xiao He, I'm already convinced that Xiao He was controlling the machine himself. Even if someone was controlling it from behind, it would be impossible to achieve such perfect synchronization with Xiao He's movements.】
【You have to understand, the most skillful thing a magician can do is adapt to changing circumstances. The reactions of the live audience and the overall rhythm of the performance can't be planned in advance or remain constant, especially when Xiao He is supposed to perfectly synchronize with a robotic arm to perform magic tricks live for everyone! If this is fake, I'll eat it upside down.】
【I also think Xiao He was probably controlling the robotic arm himself. We should have some confidence in my country's technology. This technology was developed last year. If you're not familiar with it, you can watch this blogger's video.】
Soon, someone discovered the origin of the robotic arm product used by Xiao He—Fusheng Technology! A technology company dedicated to bionic prosthetic medical products.
—The prototype of this robotic arm is actually a bionic prosthetic limb!
When they learned of this result, many people were both surprised and not entirely surprised.
Unexpectedly, this technological breakthrough has led to a wider range of applicable scenarios.
Neural link mechanical movements like those of Xiao Hewei were already seen at last year's tech expo, and many bloggers who visited the expo filmed related videos.
However, many netizens could clearly see that although the robotic arm at that time could perform basic human arm movements, or even advanced fine work, it was far from achieving the effect that Xiao He performed on stage tonight!
Even the testers at the technology exhibition can only move in sync with the machines and cannot control all their conditioned reflexes. Not to mention the disabled people who help exhibit and test the products. The original intention of this bionic prosthetic limb is to replace their disability, so the movement is naturally synchronized with their thoughts. There is no multitasking, like Xiao He, who is operating two different movements at the same time.
—Are these really products from the same company?
Or perhaps it's because this company has upgraded its products again?
Netizens were very curious and excited, and flocked to Fusheng Technology's official website to inquire about the details.
Ironically, while Fusheng Technology did claim the product immediately, they didn't dare to guarantee that their machines could achieve the same level of performance as Xiao He's.
According to the three technicians they sent, Xiao He modified the robotic arm himself, but they haven't had a chance to ask him about the modifications yet. However, it's clear to the naked eye that the robot is more fluid and its performance with magic is more refined.
Xiao He was able to multitask and operate the robotic arm simultaneously—
Currently, it seems that he is the only one.
Upon learning of this situation, everyone at Fusheng Technology fell silent.
Good news: Their product has found a super sales champion.
The bad news: It's the top sales performers who are amazing, not their products.
