As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 191 Avatar (4000)

As the successor to the Harry Potter world view, the Fantastic Beasts series undoubtedly has great expectations from Warner Bros.

You must know that as long as the world view of "Harry Potter" is followed, Rowling will have to pay a lot of money.

Although there are magical animals in the name, except for the first part, from the second part onwards, it mainly focuses on the past events of the magical world during Grindelwald's time.

Among them, the emotional drama between Grindelwald and Dumbledore has become a magic weapon to attract female audiences.

This is also England's forte, and the rotten country is not talking about it.

In the third part, Grindelwald even bluntly said to Dumbledore: Who else will love you but me.

This became a rare breaking point in the film.

But for those who are disgusted with such incidents, it is obviously unacceptable.

Not to mention the "Fantastic Beasts" series, Zheng Li has never even watched the "Harry Potter" series of movies.

When the emotional scene between Grindelwald and Dumbledore appeared in Universal Studios, there were screams and exclamations around.

Zheng Li was not surprised by this kind of thing, there is no shortage of such people in the Mage Alliance.

It's just that Zheng Li can't understand why everyone is so excited when they see this kind of picture.

He turned to look at Li Miaomiao, but Li Miaomiao didn't laugh out loud, just smiled.

Seeing Zheng Li looking at her, Li Miaomiao turned her head and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"

"Did it feel exciting?"

Zheng Li also replied in a low voice: "No."

"I just think everyone's reaction is a bit extreme."

Li Miaomiao: "It's normal, this is an official candy distribution, I'll tell you later when I go out."

After the movie ended, Zheng Li and Li Miaomiao walked out of the cinema after waiting for the staff to announce the curtain.

It was too crowded when it was just over.

"How is it?" Li Miaomiao asked.

This is a brand new experience for Zheng Li, and this is the first time he has experienced this kind of entertainment from the Blue Stars.

The League of Mages has achieved virtual reality, and the reality and immersion of virtual reality far exceeds that of movies.

Therefore, movies are a form of entertainment that has never existed in the Mage League.

But Zheng Li didn't feel any novelty, because this was just a long video moved to a bigger screen.

"It's a little strange, but the magical animals in it are very interesting."

"But the magic inside always feels like there's only light coming and going."

"Except for the final Phoenix War, the light and shadow effects are good."

"And one more point, shouldn't mastering magic have an advantage over ordinary people, that is, Muggles?"

"Why in the movie, the technology of the wizards is more backward than that of ordinary people?"

Li Miaomiao said with a smile: "After all, it is a film and television work for teenagers, and the setting will not and need not be too perfect."

"There are few wizards, a wizarding society with only 5 people, how can it be possible to develop faster technologically than England with more than 5000 million people?"

"Fantastic Beasts was originally a gimmick for Warner Bros."

"It is said to be a magical animal, but it is actually better to change its name to Dumbledore and Grindelwald's history of grievances."

As a senior Harry Potter fan, Li Miaomiao is familiar with the content inside:

"And the Fantastic Beasts series is already considered reasonable."

"The author felt that he couldn't make up more magic, so he didn't make it up at all. Mana determines everything. At most, apparation was added."

"You think magic is transformed into different forms by mages over time."

Zheng Li agrees that magic, like technology, changes over time.

It doesn't have to be evolution, it may be degeneration, but obviously it won't be static.

Li Miaomiao continued: "The time difference between the "Harry Potter" series and the "Fantastic Beasts" series is 50 years."

"Therefore, there will obviously be many changes in magic. The screenwriter feels that the magic in Harry Potter cannot be applied to the wizarding world 50 years ago, and he can't make up more reasonable magic himself."

"So it's simply the most basic magic power competition."

"The last battle scene of God-calling guards is obviously a tribute to Merlin."

At the end of Fantastic Beasts 4, when Grindelwald and Dumbledore fought, both of them used tricks similar to calling God to guard, summoning a group of phoenixes to fight.

The silver phoenix swarm and the green phoenix swarm collided crazily between the two, scattered into countless silver spots and scattered in the air.

There are memories of Grindelwald in the movie, in which he received Merlin's inheritance, and then shared the inheritance with Dumbledore.

Merlin felt that this magic was too powerful, so he simplified it into the Patronus Charm of later generations.

The Patronus Charm created by the original Merlin is both offensive and defensive.

There is also a glimpse of Merlin in the movie.

Because Warner Bros. knew that Merlin was only using William's body at that time, and William was just a puppet in front of the stage.

Therefore, when casting the cast, Warner Bros. specifically asked not to choose an actor who looks like William, but chose an actor who looks like a traditional DND mage to play Merlin.

Mainly, they don't even know about Merlin's gender, race, age, etc.

Warner is also very distressed, and can only follow the principle of not making mistakes in this regard.

In addition, Merlin mainly exists in the dictation of Grindelwald and Dumbledore in Mysterious Beasts 4.

Zheng Li: "Actually, it's normal. When I watched the video of Meilin's performance, I waved my hand casually, and the enemy fell to the ground."

Looking at the surrounding crowd and the brightly lit environment, and looking at Zheng Li beside him, Li Miaomiao felt sincerely happy.

"Warner Bros. is clearly flattering Merlin and flattering Merlin."

"I'm afraid that Merlin in real life will be dissatisfied after seeing the movie and give it to each of them."

After listening to Zheng Li, he wondered how powerful his previous actions were to deter Blue Star.

And the feeling of going off in person is like playing a virtual reality game in the League of Mage, the immersion is almost the same.

But the advantage of playing in reality is that the reaction of the subsequent world cannot be simulated by virtual reality games.

When Zheng Li felt bored, it was a good pastime to bring a few more vests to play pretend games.

If Zheng Li were an imperial mage, he would even create a black mage's vest to make trouble in Blue Star.

It is best to have pros and villains, in fact, Zheng Li, who started a magical battle on Big Ben in London and sank the bridge under Big Ben.

As a lawful mage, Zheng Li's style of acting is much gentler.

"Before the appearance of Merlin, people thought that magic was an ability in fantasy works."

"It's only now that everyone knows that magic actually exists, and the magic that Merlin casts is pretty close to what I imagined."

"When I was in high school, I liked to fantasize that I was a mage, and I would forget everything for the teacher who assigned homework."

"In this way, I won't have to do my homework. Then I will give my dad a forgetting spell when I go home, so that he will forget that he has given me this month's pocket money, and he will give me another one."

"The carefree age is over."

"If I know magic now, maybe I just store it in my memory, and occasionally I will show it to myself when I am alone, so as to make myself happy."

After Li Miaomiao finished speaking, her eyes sparkled in the night when the lights were just on, she turned her head and asked:

"What about you?"

Zheng Li pretended to be thinking, "Probably studying how the devil's brain is made."

"Then mass-produce magic brains, let more people have magic."

Li Miaomiao said helplessly: "Your mentality seems to be older than mine."

"Or your fun is different from ordinary people."

Zheng Li explained: "Everyone has different interests."

"To be honest, after I finished watching it, I felt that it would be a waste of time to watch it in a movie theater without double speed."

Li Miaomiao felt a little angry after hearing this, but after thinking about Zheng Li's usual style of work, she could understand it.

This is in line with Zheng Li's personality:
"Watching a movie, what is supposed to be enjoyable is spending two hours on the same adventure with a group of strangers."

"This is a feeling that I can't experience at home."

"And the meaning of life is not to use every minute and every second, time is to let you have more life experience."

"Your thinking is a bit extreme. It's a bit like the goose factory that charges money for everything."

Zheng Li changed the subject and said, "What happened to the goose factory?"

"The qq of Goose Factory's brain-computer connection VR has been updated, and they have created a living room function."

"Users can meet in the living room, but everyone only has a basic image, and the basic image is only the difference between male and female and race."

"If you want to create a different personal image, you have to pay extra."

"To put it bluntly, it is a 3D version of QQ show."

"But their paid avatars have been made particularly refined thanks to advances in algorithms."

"So that basically everyone will at least buy a set of avatars, Goose Factory even combines the avatars in the brain-computer connection VR with the blockchain."

"The avatar you set can only be used by you. If someone else wants to buy it, the purchaser's payment will be divided between you and Goose Factory."

"Goose Factory will also produce avatars, and even limited edition avatars."

"The Goose Factory's first cross-border virtual personal image with Hermès is limited to 9999 pieces, and the price is [-] yuan."

"Originally everyone thought that it would be so expensive that no one would buy it, but it was sold out in less than half an hour after it went online."

The cross-border cooperation between Goose Factory and Hermes shocked the fashion circle.

It was just a design layout, and 5000 million yuan was collected.

The money came so easily.

LV, Burberry, Balenciaga and other brands have come to seek cooperation.

In fact, this kind of operation has been played badly in the currency circle, and the concept of NFT has become popular as early as 2021.

It's just that no one has the wealth and power of the goose factory, and the starting price is [-] yuan.

Zheng Li couldn't help being moved by Goose Factory's business thinking after listening:

"It sounds good, virtual image producers can also benefit, and there will be more cross-border cooperation, and the VR ecology will be more prosperous."

Li Miaomiao pulled her head deafly: "Yeah, I know it's very good, and Goose Factory will build a qq farm in the brain-computer connection VR in the future."

"The VR version is a more realistic farm. They say that players will have to interact with each other to steal vegetables."

"The goose factory will indeed make money, and the executives of Kechuang Biotech have highly praised the goose factory."

"Because the flow of the goose factory has to go through the brain-computer connection VR system, Kechuang will have a 30.00% commission in the future."

"Like the cross-border cooperation between Goose Factory and Hermès, Kechuang Future has drawn 3000 million yuan, and Kechuang Biological has 200 million yuan."

"Such as the VR personal image, and the QQ farm that will be launched later, these will bring us high profits."

"But now the audience of brain-computer connected VR is the middle and high consumption class, and they can afford this kind of consumption, or even higher consumption."

"However, brain-computer connected VR and even subsequent virtual reality must be open to everyone after all. We don't make low-priced products."

"We will also open the technology to other companies and let them make low-priced products, but they must use our system."

"But after the game of Goose Factory becomes a habit, what should the poor do? Is it the same initial image in VR?"

"That way in the virtual world, your class is even more clearly divided."

"In the future, when children receive distance education in the virtual world, they will naturally form different grades."

"From the current point of view, there is no problem with the behavior of the goose factory, but in the long run, the behavior of the goose factory and the unspoken industry rules behind it are actually very bad."

Li Miaomiao's years of experience in the position of senior executive of science and technology biotechnology are still effective.

She takes a longer view than others.

And because she hasn't been in a high position for too long, she can still consider the situation of the people at the bottom in the future.

After hearing this, Zheng Li was a little surprised: "What you said makes sense."

"But we cannot interfere with the operation of the goose factory."

"There's only so much we can do."

Li Miaomiao nodded: "Yes, it's not that you can do whatever you want because you are in a high position."

"I want Goose Factory not to do this, but not only Goose Factory will not agree, but also the executives of Kechuang Biotech will not agree."

"Maybe only a god like you who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world will think that my idea is right."

"But even you can't interfere with the operation of the goose factory."

"It's okay now, because the price of brain-computer connected VR is there."

"Only the future can talk about the future."

"At least we can't let distance education also engage in skin."

"However, as long as we mention it, Goose Factory will not dare to risk the world's publicity to do this in the field of education."

Goose Factory has always invested a lot of energy in the field of distance education, and one of the main businesses of Goose Factory Cloud is education.

After the brain-computer connection VR was launched, Goose Factory specially experimented with the distance education function.

Compared with video and traditional VR, the advantages of brain-computer connected VR are obviously huge.

The teacher can directly have a virtual image in the classroom space, whether it is walking around, pointing at the blackboard, or writing, it can all be realized.

Writing in the void with a handle can automatically recognize the content and convert it into an image in VR.

Goose Factory is already developing a remote education system based on brain-computer connection VR.

After Li Miaomiao found out, she specifically confirmed with the goose factory executives that they would not profit from virtual images in the education system.

Goose Factory engages in a distance education system, and its original target customers are also schools rather than individuals.

Zheng Li nodded: "In the future of virtual reality, we can open up more permissions to users."

"You can even build social software into the system. The VR version of QQ only exists now. When virtual reality is realized, QQ and WeChat will not be needed."
