Then it's time to witness the miracle! This classic line is synonymous with Liu Qian, he once appeared on the Spring Festival Gala five times, but suddenly disappeared, and now it is popular again in the Spring Festival Gala, so what has Liu Qian experienced?
Liu Qian, born in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan Province, has shown a great interest in magic since he was a child. When he was 12 years old, he participated in the Youth Magic Contest and won the championship of the National Taiwan Children's Magic Competition. This title not only made him proud, but also made him meet professional magician Xu Leisi, and since then he has started his professional magic learning path.
In 1999, after graduating from university, Liu Qian began his career as a magician, and his magic talent was quickly recognized internationally. At the International Magic Contest held in Japan, he won the championship in one fell swoop. In 2001, he won a silver medal at the Shanghai International Magic Festival. These accolades led to Liu Qian's fame, and he began to receive invitations from all over the world to give magic shows and give lectures.
In 2006, Liu Qian attended the annual meeting of the World Magician Competition held in the United States and served as the guest of honor for the opening performance of the party. His performance earned him a standing ovation from more than 3,000 magicians around the world, and his fame has since grown.
With the increase of fame, Liu Qian began to appear in various variety shows, attracting more and more fans. After he appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, his popularity quickly opened up in China, and major TV stations invited him to participate in programs and performances.
At the peak of his career, Liu Qian held a solo magic tour, performing in 27 cities in China. Tickets for the tour were in short supply, and the venue was full, becoming the first magician in the history of magic in our country to hold a large-scale touring performance. Since then, Liu Qian has appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for three consecutive years and won the love of the audience.
As his fame grew in China, Liu Qian's name also spread abroad. In 2011, his name sounded at the Wayne Hotel Theater in Las Vegas, becoming the first Asian magician to hold a solo show at Las Vegas.
In June of the same year, Magic Magazine, an authoritative publication in the global magic industry, took Liu Qian as the cover character and praised him as "the most famous magician in the world". In July, Liu Qian showcased his magic talent to a global audience through a live webcast at the EMC Global Magic Summit held in Portugal, winning the applause of 33 top magicians from all over the world.
Liu Qian's magic performance not only amazed the audience, but also was highly recognized by his peers. His outstanding performance led him to win the Asian Magician of the Year Award jointly issued by the International Magic Federation and the Asian Magic Association, becoming the first Chinese to receive this honor.
In 2013, Liu Qian won the Gold Award for Grola Master Magic, becoming the first Chinese magician to win the Gold Award for Grola Master Magic.
Since then, his career has gone on to flourish, winning numerous awards, and growing his fame and status in the world of magic. Fans around the globe were obsessed with him, and even at an awards ceremony, his overseas fans chartered a private jet and congratulated him on his award with a marquee.
However, fame and popularity bring not only praise, but also controversy. Some people began to question Liu Qian's magic success, believing that he relied on "support". Even in his performance on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, some people claimed that the host Dong Qing was his "trust". The Internet is full of analysis of Liu Qian's magic and revealing secrets**. Some people even think that Liu Qian's magic is not so magical, but through the adjustment and switching of live shots and camera positions, the effect of deceiving the audience has been achieved.
Liu Qian was very angry in the face of these controversies, and he firmly denied these claims, saying that they were not true at all. However, the public's accusations against him go far beyond these ......
Once invited to participate in a Japanese program, a ** of Liu Qian "wearing Tang clothes and kneeling to worship the Japanese emperor" went viral on the Internet. This ** made countless netizens who didn't know the truth angry, and even scolded Liu Qian angrily. Under the impact of this **, Liu Qian's career plummeted.
Liu Qian explained that this was a complete misunderstanding, just for the variety show effect. Although the matter was clarified in the end, proving that this was an oolong incident, Liu Qian's popularity could not be restored to before.
On the stage of the 2013 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, he performed with Li Yundi. At that time, the scandal between Li Yundi and Wang Leehom was raging. During the performance, Liu Qian jokingly said "looking for Leehom", but he didn't expect this sentence to bring him endless trouble. Fans of Li Yundi and Wang Leehom have accused him of deliberately embarrassing Li Yundi.
In the face of the accusation, Liu Qian immediately made an explanation, saying that the lines were decided when both parties were satisfied. However, Li Yundi did not agree with this statement, but said that he did not put forward such a line. This made Liu Qian fall into more serious cyberbullying and became a "thorn in the side" of netizens. Since then, Liu Qian has gradually faded out of the public's sight.
After experiencing these two turmoil, Liu Qian's career was seriously affected. Although he tried to clear up the misunderstanding, it was still difficult to get rid of the trouble. After leaving the stage, Liu Qian devoted more time and energy to family life. However, the influence left by this former master magician in my country's entertainment industry cannot be ignored.
Then it's time to witness the miracle! This familiar sentence accompanied Liu Qian through the trough of his career, and also allowed him to find himself again. After experiencing two "**", Liu Qian finally became popular again in the Spring Festival Gala. He conquered the audience with magic and proved his strength with persistence.
Now, Liu Qian is once again standing at the pinnacle of his life. But he was not proud of this, but cherished this hard-won opportunity even more. He understands that the road to his dream is not always easy, and only by continuing to work hard can he go further. In the days to come, Liu Qian will continue to devote himself to the cause of magic and bring more wonderful performances to the audience.
