As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 321 Movie and Reality

Cinema is a journey of a group of people in a noisy environment, doing one thing with a group of strangers at the same time and in the same space.

Everyone's emotions are on a similar frequency band because of the movie.

Therefore, being able to watch the same movie is a matter of fate.

Zheng Li nodded and said, "Yes."

The sequel to Harry Potter is just an alias given to it in the market. In fact, the official name of Warner Bros. is: Horatio and Gringotts.

The protagonist of the Horatio series is obviously Horatio. This series is based on the new story of Harry Potter in 2027 under the world view.

The ambition of Warner Bros. is to use this series to interpret the fusion process of the magical world and the real world.

Between the magical world and the real world, there is both conflict and cooperation.

The origin of the name Horatio is the military strategist in the history of England, which has the meaning of change.Horatio is known as the soul of the English navy in history.

How could Warner Bros., who wouldn't shy away from even Merlin, shy away from England's military strategists?

Warner Bros. is an American business, not an English business.

The previous Archmage Merlin did not appear in public again because Merlin did not show up in public, so the series was a bit weak after the filming.

On the other hand, Warner Bros. wants to cater to the current situation where magic and the real world are fused in Blue Star to shoot a brand new series.

Therefore, the time point is deliberately selected in 2027 to increase the audience's sense of substitution.

It is also 30 years after the beginning of the Harry Potter series and 20 years after the end.

There is no doubt that Warner Bros. has added more social elements to "Dumbledore's Mystery", showing its ambition to expand the Harry Potter worldview.

They hope that on the basis of the Harry Potter series, they will upgrade and expand the world view, spread out a huge political magic world, and reflect the complex struggle of adult ideas.

If "Dumbledore Mystery" shows the past of the politicized wizarding world, then "Horatio series" is trying to show the future.

Trying to use an adult perspective to deduce the part of the Harry Potter world that combines magic and reality.

In reality, Merlin brought magic before, but the threshold of magic was set at a very high level, and only the top talents could obtain magic.

After the spread of magical events in London, London became the best observation sample for the "Horatio" series of films.

Most of the scenes of the film were filmed in London, during which time the script was changed while filming, and many elements of exploring reality were added.

Li Miaomiao: "Okay, then let's go to Huaihai Street. There are more movie theaters there, and after the time is over, we can go shopping around. Do you want to drink some wine at night?"

Zheng Li agreed again: "Yes, but what if you drive after drinking?"

Li Miaomiao replied: "It's fine to ask a substitute driver when it's okay. Send me back first and then ask the substitute driver to take you back. The car will be parked downstairs at your house. I will pick it up when I find a chance."

Li Miaomiao was a little surprised that Zheng Li agreed to drink, because she didn't know how much Zheng Li could drink before.

Although I heard from others that Zheng Li had a drink at the Wuzhen dinner.

But to what extent she drank it, she didn't know.

At the same time, even if Zheng Li was invited to the internal dinner of the Science and Technology Innovation Department, he basically didn't drink.

Li Miaomiao couldn't guess that Zheng Li learned to drink with a few old alcoholics in Europa.

Zheng Li likes to drink some mixed wine with high sweetness.

When the clone drinks, the feeling will also be transmitted back to the main body.

At most a little delay.

If Blue Star knows that the transmission of biological information can also transmit the senses, scientists will be crazy about it.

In fact, if you can use the technology of the Mage Alliance, it is not difficult to realize virtual reality.

The difficult thing is to develop virtual reality technology based on Bluestar's technology line under the existing framework of Bluestar.

"Hey, Horatio, get me two ten-second acne creams, and some love potions."

"Sorry, love potion is a prohibited item, we don't sell it here."

In Horatio's first book, his identity and background of the story are mainly revealed.

In the Harry Potter world in 2027, magic has already appeared in the vast "Muggle" world, and the initial integration of Muggle and wizarding circles has been completed.

At this stage, Weasley's Wizarding Shops opened in cities and towns in England, and Horatio was an employee of a certain Weasley's Wizarding Shop in London.

The sale of magic items in the Muggle world requires double authentication by the Ministry of Magic and the English government.

"Why do people I see online sell love potions?"

Horatio looked at the boy with brown freckles in front of him with a helpless expression, and then the clerk beside him said, "Maybe you're reading Weasley's Wizarding Shop Guide 20 years ago."

There is a crisis under the peaceful world, and magic resources are limited.

Once a crisis broke out. During the initial integration process of the Muggle world and the wizarding world, some people directly penetrated the currency system of the wizarding world by taking advantage of the abnormal setting of the exchange ratio between Galleon and British pounds in the wizarding world.

In order to solve this problem, Gringotts has fully cooperated with the Bank of England, and England has helped it carry out digital transformation.

And this also caused some mages to hate ordinary people, thinking that Muggles caused their huge losses.

Later, as the running-in deepened, the Muggles put forward more demands related to magic, and they needed to master magic.

But magical resources are limited, and the contradiction unfolds.

Horatio's first book puts the contradiction in the process of cooperation between Gringotts and the central bank. The Bank of England tried every means to force Gringotts to sell its interests.

The interest here is magical artifacts, and the English government wants access to magical items from Gringotts.

Except for the Harry Potter series, other stories around Harry Potter don't like to put the main scene in Hogwarts.

Hogwarts is just a glimpse of existence in the movie.

The brand new series just uses Harry Potter's world view, and the adult fairy tale side is further cut.

If the Harry Potter series is a good combination of fairy tales and adult content.

Rowling made a very universal and realistic adult expression in the later stage, but the element of love runs through the whole text, and the fairy tale attribute is not lost because of the adult expression.

In the Fantastic Beasts series, the political elements are further aggravated, the love element between Dumbledore and Grindelwald appears pale and superficial, and the fairy tale attributes are already very weak.

As for the Horatio series, it is difficult to see that this is a movie set in a fairy tale background, and all the elements and stalks in the movie are very adult.

Metaphors to the real world abound.

Among them, the first one filmed the resignation of the Prime Minister, and George Weasley's evaluation on hearing this matter directly satirized the real world:
"Oh? The Muggle Prime Minister has resigned? He should go and learn acting with Lockhart. I can see through his poor acting skills at a glance.

But he was better than Fudge in that he knew he was resigning. "

When this scene in the movie appears, anyone who pays attention to the political scene in England will smile.

Not to mention that Boris is not in power, even if Boris is in power, Warner Bros. is not afraid of offending the other party.

In the Western world, governments are constrained more than capital.

The movie is better, at least better than Dumbledore Mystery.

Since many elements related to the real world can be found, the sense of substitution is very strong.

But after reading it, Li Miaomiao had a lot to say: "How do you feel?"

Zheng Li replied: "It's okay, I think it's better than the Merlin and Dumbledore Mysteries I watched before."

Li Miaomiao nodded and said: "Because the rhythm is tighter, and there is no inexplicable emotional drama.

This is an improvement, but also shows a completely different magical world than before.

The Muggle and wizarding worlds blend very well.

But I always feel that it is not like the Harry Potter series, although the director wants to use various elements to remind us that this is the world of Harry Potter.

From George Weasley and the Weasley joke shop, to Harry Potter who is about to retire as the head of the Auror office, to the goblins in Gringotts, these elements remind me that this is the world of Harry Potter .

But its core seems to tell me that the fairy tale is over, you are already adults, and it is time to face the adult world.

Still very emotional after reading it. "

Zheng Li: "I roughly understand what you mean. It's just a movie. The real world is far more cruel than a movie."

Li Miaomiao explained: "I think it is still very suitable for my appetite, I think the point of emotion is not because of cruelty.

Instead, use Batman as an example. The previous Batman series are all superheroes, who are omnipotent in Gotham City.

It wasn't until Nolan's Batman trilogy that the global audience re-recognized Batman. Batman is also an ordinary person. He will be injured, fall and lose confidence.

I feel that it is because of the change of style.

Although it is full of Harry Potter elements, the description of the economic crisis and the explanation of the reasons behind Muggle's hatred of mages made me realize that this is no longer a fairy tale.

It's no longer just pure-blood wizards in the Harry Potter series who are hostile to Muggles, but Muggles are also hostile to wizards.

The world is not just one side, but complex and diverse, and the new Harry Potter series is closer to the real world. "

"When the last Harry Potter movie was released, I was just in junior high school, and when I went to the cinema with my friends, I just thought it looked good.

Later, I left school and came to Gusu to start a business with you. When I was bored at night, I re-watched the Harry Potter series of movies.

The whole series of movies started from platform nine and three quarters, and finally ended on platform nine and three quarters.

That last glimpse of Harry Potter leaving the platform made me realize that my school days were over, too.

In the new series, starting from the workers in Weasley's shop, combined with the content inside, the Harry Potter series will not be a fairy tale forever.

It also grows over time. "

In so many years of career, Li Miaomiao has been able to restrain her emotions very skillfully, but when she is with Zheng Li, she will let her emotions out.

When talking about this transformation, Zheng Li could clearly feel the other party's melancholy and helplessness.

Zheng Li thought about it, but he could understand the melancholy of ordinary people.

Even mages can't stand against time, let alone mortals.

The short life of mortals makes them need various so-called rituals to commemorate the passing of life in stages.

Entering school, graduating, working, getting married, having children, etc.

Zheng Li: "Actually, if you want to go back and get a doctorate and experience student life, it's also possible."

Li Miaomiao immediately refused: "Forget it, I don't have any plans for now.

Getting an MBA is enough to bother me, let alone a PhD.

And now I go to school, which is different from the previous school.

There are too many people who please me and fawn on me, so it doesn't feel like going to class.

very strange. "

Because the movie that Li Miaomiao and the others watched on Huaihai Road, which is very prosperous in Gusu, is still in the cinema on Huaihai Road at this time.

The couple walking in front of them vaguely heard Li Miaomiao and the others' conversation, and felt very troubled in their hearts, thinking that the people behind them were too good at pretending.

As a result, the man who was walking in front turned his head to take a look, and hurriedly said hello: "Hello, Mr. Zheng, Mr. Li, I am an employee of the Development Department of Kechuang Future."

He is an employee of the Science and Technology Innovation Department, and he can see photos of Li Miaomiao and Zheng Li in the internal office environment every day.

The identities of the two were recognized immediately.

Li Miaomiao said with a smile: "Hello."

Zheng Li followed and nodded.

The man turned his head and thought in his heart: I must go to the group to complain. I went to a movie on Friday and met Mr. Li and Mr. Zheng on a date. This trip is bloody money.

Then I thought about it: Alas, it’s a pity that I dare not take pictures. If I can take a picture, I can definitely sell it to the self-media to make a fortune.

Earn more earn, win numb.

After the man turned back, he saw his girlfriend looking at him curiously, he waved his hand, and then made a gesture to wait.

Out of the line of sight of Zheng Li and Li Miaomiao, the woman asked each other: "Who were those two just now? You almost bowed ninety degrees."

The man explained in a low voice: "The chairman and general manager of Kechuang Bio."

"Zheng Li and Li Miaomiao?"

"Yes."

"Wow, it's true that the two of them are a couple on the Internet?"

"Not necessarily, maybe it's just a friendship." The man analyzed rationally.

"How can it be possible for two people to go to the movies together in a pure friendship relationship?"

"How is it impossible? I did it before"

"What did you do before? Tell me the truth!"

This is just an episode of Zheng Li and Li Miaomiao's date.

There are more than [-] employees in the Suzhou Science and Technology Innovation Department, and it is normal to meet employees of the Science and Technology Innovation Department on Huaihai Road.

Li Miaomiao didn't pay much attention to it. You must know that although there were only the two of them, there were still several security personnel assigned by the Bureau of Abnormal Affairs lurking around.

"I didn't expect such a coincidence to meet the employees of the Science and Technology Innovation Department.

It is estimated that in two days, you will be able to see related complaints and photos on the anonymous channel of the internal forum. "

There is a real anonymous mechanism in the internal forums of science and technology innovation companies, and there has never been an incident where employees complained anonymously and were found out to talk with their real identities.
