Magic has had a profound impact on the outside world.
For the public, they mostly want to master magic. If they really read Merlin's forum, most of them will not be able to read it.
In this day and age, deep reading is a rare ability. The rise of mobile Internet has led to a significant decline in everyone's in-depth reading ability.
Not to mention the amazing amount of information and the extremely high reading magic papers at the door.
Everyone would rather watch the interpretation video on site b than have the patience to read it in detail.
After realizing how difficult it was to obtain magic coins, and thus magic, everyone chose to give up.
Magic no longer needs to be secretive. When business giants go to the Department of Mathematics and Astronomy to recruit people, they can clearly say that we are here for mining.
Magic coins are also jokingly called Merlin coins and magic stones on the Internet. The Department of Mathematics laughs at itself when it engages in research and mining of magic coins. It is prospecting. As for whether it can detect ores containing magic stones, that is another matter.
Fantasy games were a hit, and riding on the magic craze, The Witcher 3 sold millions of copies.
The Harry Potter mobile game launched by Domestic Pig Factory three years ago has returned to the top of the iOS free mobile game list.
MiHoYo claims to be making a magic role-playing game, and the project has begun to allocate manpower to form a project team.
It's hard to actually gain the ability to cast spells, but it's easy to get the buzz.
Internet enthusiasts finally understand why Qidian has vigorously promoted fantasy essay contests in the past two years.
The fantasy genre is generally readable, but it can get more recommendation positions than others with the same data but different genres.
"How do I see the tens of millions of essay solicitations in the Qidian Fantasy category?"
This answer was posted on Zhihu in 2021. By the end of 2023, a large number of people came to dig graves and add new answers.
One of the answers in 2021 said this:
“It’s difficult to sell domestic copyrights in the fantasy genre, and it’s even harder to sell Qidian’s copyrights overseas.
The mature Hollywood assembly line does not need Chinese fantasy works.
What's the point of doing this at Qidian? There must be information in the tens of millions of fantasy essays that we don’t know, and we can only wait for future people to answer. "
This answer is closest to the truth. Two years later, people who dug graves commented below:
"Brother, is he still there? He came out to see the magic."
"It turns out that magic really exists, and the starting point is probably to listen to the orders from above."
“There really is information we don’t know”
"If it weren't for Merlin's public appearance, we probably don't know when we would know the inside story."
"I estimate that the editors of Qidian and even the senior management of Qidian don't know about this level of secret."
"I have long saved the videos of Merlin from various angles in Stockholm on my computer and mobile hard drive. I am afraid that one day I will wake up and the Ministry of Magic will give me an amnesia spell."
Warner Bros. has publicly announced that it will restart filming the "Harry Potter" series.
Previously successful movie series are generally not remade too quickly, especially such a successful commercial series like the Harry Potter series.
But unfortunately, magic is the most popular right now. With the top magic IP of "Harry Potter" in hand, the most important thing is to make money first.
With current special effects technology, Warner Bros. is confident of achieving greater success.
There has been successful experience in the past, and Warner Bros. still plans to cast three young actors from around the world this time.
Warner Bros. announced on social media that it would go all out to invite Merlin to serve as Harry Potter's technical consultant, striving to provide the public with a visual feast that is closest to the real magical world.
This is just the wishful thinking of the merchants. There is no similarity between the wizarding world of Harry Potter and the Wizards Alliance where Zheng Li belongs.
Magic is science, a relentless pursuit of truth, not something that can be achieved quickly with just five years of education.
Zheng Li stayed at the Master College for nearly thirty years. After graduating from the Master, he studied and worked under the Master in the Master Tower for more than ten years.
Rowling tweeted:
"The magic Merlin showed in Stockholm was just as I imagined. Thanks to Merlin for letting me know that the little boy I saw on the train really existed.
The magical world is all around us. "
"Merlin is more like Dumbledore than Voldemort. I think he is a good person who has power but can control himself and not abuse his power."
Warner Bros. holds the top Harry Potter IP, and other film giants like Disney and Paramount are following suit.
If there are magic-related IPs, they should bring out the magic alone. For example, the copyright owners of The Lord of the Rings should take out the story of Gandalf and make a series of movies specifically.
Many film companies even directly want to film Merlin's legendary life.
The heat of magic doesn't pass quickly.
Merlin's performance in Stockholm, in addition to the official live broadcast perspective, the audience present also took many different perspectives.
Each video received huge views once uploaded.
The number of views of the official perspective video on YouTube has exceeded 100 million.
The credibility of the Nobel Prize has suffered a huge blow.
It turns out that even science and engineering awards can be manipulated. A word from a big shot can make the Nobel Prize Award Committee compromise.
A deceitful person like Mirren can also win the Nobel Prize, and even be the only winner.
The awards committee knew this, but still awarded it to him.
The loss of credibility will lead to the Nobel Prize becoming a second-rate award in the future.
As for Bill, Bill has completely lost his positive emotions and the meaning of life.
Every day, I could only watch the video of the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony before Merlin's appearance, and see myself looking so high-spirited on stage, which made me feel better.
This memory has been deleted.
It can be said that Bill is worse off than dead. If he were not monitored by Amerikan officials at all times, he might have committed suicide.
But he can't die yet. His value is to cooperate with the researchers' research on how to remove Merlin's magic.
You must know that it was not just Bill who suffered this fate, but also many important people who made decisions suffered the same fate as Bill - losing their positive emotions.
We can't let big shots be the experimental subjects, and Bill is not the only one to be the experimental subject.
Before a method to dispel magic was developed, Bill would not let him die even if he wanted to.
What Zheng Li did was to kill the chicken and the monkey together, but he didn't expect the monkey to step on the chicken's body and resurrect it.
"I suspect that the medium is gone. Dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine and other substances in Bill's body are still secreted, but his brain cannot receive the signals transmitted by these substances.
As a result, he is unable to feel positive emotions. "
"The problem is that we don't dare to do a craniotomy experiment. It's just this experimental subject. If something goes wrong during the craniotomy experiment, the big guys can kill me."
"I'm afraid that relying on blood tests alone, we can't find the key factor. What substance is missing that causes Bill to change.
According to the current human examination, at least it is not due to tissue loss. "
Amerikan has invested a lot of resources in Bill, and the big shots are now equally miserable, and they are willing to allocate large amounts of money to the project.
Just to get back to normal.
Amerikan was about to reach a cooperation with the Europa League, but now the cooperation has fallen through.
The Europa Union is seriously considering the possibility of cooperation with China.
China and Russia purchased biostorage technology and spent 10 magic coins. You spent money anyway, but it is not up to me to decide whether your biostorage server will enter the Europa market.
If I don't let your biostorage products enter the Europa market, you might as well sell me the biostorage technology.
The Europa League is now pursuing this idea. They plan to discuss first whether they can buy it with euros.
If China does not agree, then consider whether it can use technology. The Europa League has a lot of technologies that China and Russia can covet.
If the technology is not up to par, then I propose to buy it with magic coin.
Instead of hanging from a tree, consider other options.
You can even negotiate with Russia and China at the same time, and buy from whomever offers the lowest price.
Europa has a good plan.
England's position in the continent of Europe is, to put it nicely, the continent's balancer, and to put it worse, it is a troublemaker.
Their minds were no longer focused on biological storage technology, they only wanted to find Merlin.
Whether it’s the name or Merlin’s magic, the final Calling Guard is obviously very similar to the Calling Guard in Harry Potter.
They went straight to Rowling to investigate and asked her if she had actually met a wizard before writing Harry Potter.
Rowling still pulled out what she said in front of the media: When she was young, she was riding a train and saw a boy with round eyes flying past her on a broomstick outside the train window, and he smiled at her.
"Madam, did you really see it, or did you dream about it in a dream?"
"It's been so many years, but I think I really saw the magician on the broomstick."
England thought of its long history, and they were a little doubtful whether a group of magicians really existed in their country.
Merlin is just their representative.
"But magicians haven't appeared for thousands of years before. What is their purpose of showing up now?"
"Maybe it's because the magic world is short of people, and they need to absorb new blood in the secular world through this method."
"Wiles has not received the admission notice from the Magic Academy, and the magic world has not sent anyone to pick him up."
"He is old, and the magic organization needs to undergo an assessment to accept new recruits, right? Have you ever thought that the assessment against Wiles has already begun in secret?"
"I feel like you've been watching too much fantasy lately."
“It’s not that I’ve seen too much, but that you haven’t given full play to your imagination.
Magic has appeared, what else is impossible? "
The intuitive magic performance has a huge impact on everyone.
Scientists like those who had obtained the magic brain before felt itchy in their hearts.
Merlin can block bullets with magic, but his own magic can only move very light objects. This is a huge gap.
Various investigators in England investigate people marked as missing in census records, and they suspect that some of these people have gone to the wizarding world.
As for Neon, they were very jealous after watching Merlin's performance, and they said they also wanted to have their own magician.
I was thinking of blending it with the Kangaroo Country and giving them the other magic coin.
As for the Kangaroo Kingdom, they are also greedy. They also want to have magicians, and the magic coins are jointly kept by the three parties.
There are three countries with account passwords, and each country has a piece of it. They need to confirm together before they can enter the account and redeem the magic brain.
Neon and Kangaroo Country are greedy, and so is England. They feel that the magic brain represented by the magic coin should also belong to them.
So they had a conversation in pairs before Neon and Kangaroo Country. In short, it had to play a role. Neither side was willing to give in to the other. The right to use this magic coin was stuck here.
When the time comes, England plans to swallow it directly.
They are professionals at stirring up shit.
...
"What an unforeseen disaster, who would have thought that magic would appear on the 10th.
Now the price to pay to change the time of the press conference is too high. "
The press conference of Kechuang Future’s brain-computer connection VR is scheduled for December 20, ten days after the Nobel Prize Ceremony.
No one could have predicted that something of this magnitude would happen on December 10th.
"How to change it? Why change it? Our press conference advertisement and release date have already been advertised on all major platforms in November.
It is impossible to change the time now.
And we don’t need to change it. Isn’t this the best opportunity?
We can now ask Goose Factory to urgently contact the producers of "The Witcher" 3 and reach cooperation with them to log the "Witcher" series of games into our brain-computer connected VR after being modified.
We can even launch a wand series of devices to simulate real spellcasting in the VR world. "
"The problem is that magic now attracts too much attention in public space. If our brain-computer connection VR is launched at this time, the attention it can attract will be greatly reduced.
It is likely to affect sales immediately after release. "
“Our products are definitely the best on the market and are several levels ahead of other VR products of the same type. Even if the temporary sales are not as good as expected, it will not affect the general trend.
And we can also create momentum, but we have to change our marketing strategy. "
Goose Factory and Rice have placed high hopes on science and technology, and they are full of confidence especially after the finished product is released.
This will be an epoch-making product. Brain-computer connection VR is the real first year of VR.
Comparing the VRs currently on the market with the brain-computer-connected VRs that Kechuang Future has not released yet, the gap between the two is like the difference between a functional machine and a smartphone.
Therefore, Kechuang Future's original plan is to launch a massive advertising campaign after its release on December 20, and invite a large number of self-media in the digital and gaming circles to make the brain-computer connection VR popular.
Brain-computer connection After the popularity of brain-computer connection with mobile phones in the past two years, the concept has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Neither brain-computer connection nor VR are new technologies, but the combination of the two is amazing.
The original plan was to introduce the first wave of customers after the popularity, and then rely on word of mouth to win subsequent customers.
A lot of paid marketing mixed with tap water works best.
They are confident that they can get word of mouth from users.
It's just that people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. The emergence of magic has focused all attention on magic.
The emergence of magic during this period caused all discussions to revolve around magic.
If we launch brain-computer connection VR now, we might not be able to get the expected traffic.
"I think magic is just a temporary hot spot, it will have a profound impact on society, but the hot spots will pass.
We cannot change the launch time of brain-computer connected VR. The product is powerful enough to gain recognition from players, because the attention lost due to unexpected events will still come back.
What's more important is that with Goose Factory's own traffic, there will be no shortage of traffic when the brain-computer is connected to VR. "
The senior executives only expressed their views and opinions, and ultimately it was the directors who made the final decision.
After certain personnel changes, Li Miaomiao was previously the representative of Kechuang Biotech in Kechuang Future, and now he has directly become the chairman of Kechuang Future.
She finally made the final decision: "According to the original plan, manpower and material resources have been invested, and the advertising has been completed in major countries around the world. There is no need to delay it.
There's no better time than now. "
The mainstream players in the VR field are still FB and Byte. Byte is mainly in the Chinese market, and FB occupies a vast overseas market except China.
They are very wary of brain-computer connection VR.
In order to resist brain-computer connection VR, FB has reached an in-depth cooperative relationship with Neuralink, hoping that Musk's brain-computer connection company can make a breakthrough in the field of brain-computer connection VR.
ByteDance chose to acquire a Chinese start-up brain-computer connection company whose entrepreneurial team came from Kechuang Biotech.
They were the R&D personnel of Kechuang Biotech when it was founded. Their biggest gimmick in attracting investment in the market is that the entire creation team comes from the core R&D team of Kechuang Biotech.
It's just that the outside world doesn't have a clear understanding of the fact that Zheng Li is actually the core of Kechuang Biotech's R&D. It always feels that Zheng Li only plays a directional role, and the R&D team is equally important.
After Byte acquired the brain-computer connection company, progress was slow and failed to achieve their expected results.
The VR system jointly developed by Goose Factory and Dami, the version that will be launched soon, at least has no problem with entertainment.
The biggest use of VR is entertainment.
VR wants to become a productivity tool like a computer, but the current technical limitations are too many.
In addition to entertainment, the more promising direction of VR is online education. Online education based on VR is more realistic.
At present, no company is engaged in this direction, because compared with tablets and computers, VR online education does not show significant advantages.
During internal discussions at Goose Factory, it was discussed that VR can be specifically used in distance training for interest-based classes.
Teachers can directly educate students through brain-computer VR connection and provide hand-to-hand guidance.
But this requires the brain-computer connection function of VR to be further strengthened.
Kechuang Future’s brain-computer connection VR press conference was held in Shenhai.
After comprehensive consideration in cities such as Suzhou, Pengcheng, Jinling, Yanjing, and Shenhai, Shenhai was finally chosen.
Brain-computer connected VR is released globally simultaneously, including products in English, German, Japanese and other languages.
Not only is momentum building at home, but it is also building momentum abroad.
After signing confidentiality agreements with well-known foreign YouTubers, game anchors, etc., a sample of brain-computer connected VR was provided to them.
The stand-alone masterpieces that come with the brain-computer connection VR shocked these well-informed bloggers.
The benefit is that during the live broadcast, they touted the brain-computer connection VR that Kechuang Future will launch soon.
A YouTuber specially made a video where he boasted about the rendering of VR connected to the brain and computer.
"This is the best brain-computer connection VR I have ever used. It is an absolute cross-generational product in the VR industry. It is the master of brain-computer connection in the entertainment field."
