Warner Bros. has made a lot of money from the "Harry Potter" IP.
So much so that after the filming of the Harry Potter story was completed, the "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" series followed.
Warner Bros. plans to make five parts of this series that tells the story of the wizarding world in the 1950s.
Originally, Warner Bros. had not yet figured out what to film in the Harry Potter universe after the "Fantastic Beasts" series was finished.
The appearance of Merlin gave them a ready answer, and they continued to film the story of the legendary mage Merlin in BC.
The writers within Warner Bros. even proposed that we pair Grindelwald and Dumbledore in Mysterious Creatures.
In the story of Merlin, it is better to pair Merlin and King Arthur.
Engage in traditional arts that belong to England.
As for this idea of seeking death, Warner Bros. executives rejected it. They said that if you don't want your life, we will.
What if Merlin is taboo about this kind of thing and puts a Merlin curse on each of us?
Because they didn't know Merlin's orientation, Warner Bros. executives simply instructed that the Merlin series of movies should not have a romantic line.
Cut off all the emotional lines.
Since she travels between Lion City and Suzhou all year round, Li Miaomiao also bought an apartment in Lion City.
It's not as luxurious as the one Zheng Li bought, and it's right next to Wallich Family.
At around 4:30, Li Miaomiao drove back to her residence to touch up her makeup.
It was said to be makeup, but in fact it was to dress up from beginning to end. This was the first real date since she and Zheng Li met.
Going back further, it must be when we went back to the lakeside dormitory after class together in college, if that kind of walk can be considered a date.
Li Miaomiao usually puts on light makeup at work to cover up the dark circles under her eyes.
"Hey, do you have any recommendations for silly makeup methods? It's best to be simple and make people look stunning!"
Going back early is also to find off-site assistance. The person around Li Miaomiao who is the most proficient in this is her sister Li Shuyao.
There is no time difference between the Lion City and China.
It was only 4:30 in the afternoon. After receiving a call from Li Miaomiao, Li Shuyao first replied in a low voice: "I'm at work, what's the matter?"
After listening to Li Miaomiao's first sentence, Li Shuyao stood up and left the office area and walked to the stairwell:
"Why do you ask this suddenly? Aren't you in the Lion City now?"
"No, you're not going on a date with Zheng Li, are you?" Li Shuyao reacted.
Li Miaomiao replied: "Yes, there is a movie at eight o'clock in the evening. I have to pick up Zheng Li around six o'clock. It only takes an hour."
"I am a handicapped person who can only put on basic makeup. You have to find me a makeup that is effective and easy to put on."
Li Shuyao almost screamed, "The sun comes out from the west?"
"Did you mention it or did Zheng Li mention it?"
"I have to think about the specific makeup."
Li Miaomiao nodded on the other side of the phone and said, "He asked you to send me the video directly. I will take photos and send them to you after the makeup is done. You can help me refer to it."
Today, with social media so developed, there are endless makeup tutorials online.
Whether it’s Douyin, Bilibili or Xiaohongshu, they are all filled with makeup tutorials.
Even on foreign YouTube and FB, the number of fans of beauty bloggers is no less than that of domestic ones.
Becoming beautiful is the core need of women around the world.
"I seriously suspect that Zheng Li used himself as a test subject when doing biological experiments. I strongly recommend that you take Zheng Li for a full physical examination!" Li Shuyao joked.
Li Miaomiao raised her voice: "Sister, stop teasing me, time is limited, help me find a suitable makeup."
Today, when information is so developed, why doesn’t Li Miaomiao find it on his own?
Because she doesn't have time to study these things at work, she can't grasp the balance between difficulty and effect if she just looks for them.
Just like a novice should listen to other people's advice when buying a car.
"Do you know what kind of girls Zheng Li usually sees with their eyes shining?"
"Is it the kind of person who originally focused on other aspects, but when she appeared, his attention suddenly focused on that girl?" Li Shuyao asked.
Li Miaomiao thought for a while: "No, at least not as far as I know."
"At the party on the night when Kechuang Biotech went public, there were many beauties in the audience, but Zheng Li left after he finished speaking."
"Including at the Lion City R&D Center, every administrative staff here is prettier than the last. I have never seen Zheng Li look at anyone carefully."
Li Shuyao said helplessly: "Zheng Li is such a thousand-year-old monk, he really stumped me."
“How is the weather in the Lion City today?”
Li Miaomiao looked at her phone and replied: "It's very hot today, over 30 degrees."
Li Shuyao nodded: "Okay, you put on your makeup first. I'll think about it and try to help you charm Zheng Li once and for all."
Li Shuyao carefully found a video of summer limited makeup and hair from her collection and sent it to Li Miaomiao.
"Look, this makeup is simple and suitable for the current season."
"Actually, it's mainly about concealing and creating a sense of atmosphere. It's definitely suitable for dates!"
"If you succeed, don't forget to treat me to dinner."
Li Shuyao took time out of her busy schedule to fish and chat.
In fact, she has many opportunities to work at Kechuang Biotech or a company affiliated with Kechuang Biotechnology.
Like Goose Factory, Rice, etc., you can go anywhere, at least you will start as a team leader.
It's just that Li Shuyao doesn't want to rely on her sister's relationship, and more importantly, she wants to stay in a financial company.
The financial industry makes money faster than the Internet.
Especially in recent years, the economic environment has been sluggish, but the financial market has become even more prosperous.
In certain periods, financial markets and the real economy have a trade-off relationship.
When the real economy is in trouble, capital will go to the financial market.
"Okay, I think it's perfect. And to be honest, to Zheng Li, looks really don't matter.
I feel like Zheng Li may be truly face-blind. "
After Li Miaomiao put on makeup, she changed a few outfits and hair styles for Li Shuyao's reference.
Finally, I chose a beige dress and went out.
"Let's go."
After receiving Zheng Li, she found that there was nothing unusual about Zheng Li: "Don't you think there has been any change in me?"
Zheng Li took a closer look and said, "Change your clothes."
Li Miaomiao asked expectantly: "What else?"
Zheng Li shook his head: "No more."
Li Miaomiao pointed at her cheeks: "The blush I put on is not light, right? You didn't even notice that I put on makeup?"
Zheng Li asked, "Didn't you put on makeup when you came to work today?"
Li Miaomiao was defeated by his logic: "I put on makeup again."
Zheng Li said slowly: "It's still in the same state of makeup, this is not a change."
Li Miaomiao patted his forehead: "You are really the ultimate straight man."
After saying that, he started the car and drove towards Sentosa Island, where Universal Studios is located.
The two of them had dinner at Universal Studios.
“When I came to a place like this, I realized I was only in my twenties.”
Gu Sheng
"Every day I'm either in an office building or at the airport. I almost thought I had no life except work."
Not only coming to the Lion City, there are also many things that require traveling across the country for work.
Various meetings to conduct research on companies investing in and companies to be invested in.
Research supply chain-related companies and activities organized by Chinese officials.
Sometimes Li Miaomiao spends more time at the airport than in his office.
After listening to this, Zheng Li said, "You can go to Shenhai Disneyland when you have time."
In Zheng Li's world view, Disney and Universal Studios are similar places, although he has never been there before.
But it is true that both of them are film and television IP-themed amusement parks.
Li Miaomiao sighed: "It's a pity that I don't have any friends. Going to Disneyland alone is boring."
"There are groups of people around. I am walking around alone and can stay as long as I want."
"And Disney puts off fireworks at night. Am I going to watch the fireworks alone?"
Zheng Li was surprised: "You have no friends?"
When Zheng Li was in the Mage Alliance, he had two or three close friends.
After he came to Blue Star, he realized that the social needs of Blue Star people were much stronger than those of mages.
Li Miaomiao's statement really surprised Zheng Li.
"It's not that I don't have friends. I had a lot of friends before. It's just that friendships will fade away if we don't keep friends."
"I tried to make friends with my friends several times before, and they had such a great attitude that they would tolerate me no matter what I did."
"On the contrary, there is no laughing and joking among friends. It seems that everyone is trying to accommodate me."
"Slowly, I started to have less contact with my former friends."
"Even if I go back to Jiangcheng University to study, I rarely go to on-site classes."
"I go to Jiangcheng University to take classes and have a meal with my classmates who are still studying at Jiangcheng University, that's all."
"I don't have any friends I can ask to go to the amusement park with."
Sometimes what you gain is bound to lose something.
"And very few of my real friends come to Suzhou."
Li Miaomiao herself is from Jiangcheng, and she went to college in Jiangcheng, so most of her friends are in Jiangcheng.
Even if he didn't stay in Jiangcheng after graduation, he would still go to places like Yanjing, Shenhai, and Pengcheng.
Very few people go to Suzhou.
In recent years, because Science and Technology Biotechnology is in Suzhou, Jiangcheng University recruits a lot of people every year.
However, there are still only a few people in the School of Economics and Management who go to science and technology to create biology, and there are many majors in biology, chemistry, and mathematics who go to science and technology to create biology.
"When I have time, my friends don't have time. When my friends have time, I don't have time."
"The adult world is too difficult." Li Miaomiao said with emotion.
"But what I have is enough to make most people envious."
"Entrepreneurship is really a ninety-nine-death life. I was really visionary at that time." Li Miaomiao boasted.
Most of the energy of Zheng Li's real body was connected to this clone in Lion City.
Li Miaomiao's words reminded him of when he first came to Blue Star:
"Science and Technology Biotechnology will be more successful in the future."
With the God of Dharma behind you, it is difficult to succeed.
"If you feel stressed and don't want to do it anymore, you can tell me and I will find a way to find someone else to do it." Zheng Li could hear the fatigue in Li Miaomiao's words.
If Li Miaomiao wants to rest, Zheng Li's plan is to simply let artificial intelligence take over Science and Technology Biotechnology.
"I'm not telling you to leave here. You know I'm very direct."
"If you really feel that the pressure is too much or you want to take some time off, I will respect your thoughts."
Li Miaomiao knew that Zheng Li meant well, so she shook her head and said, "I just feel a little sad that there is a big gap between myself and my original friends."
"In the past few years of starting my business with you, I feel like I have received training that no one else has ever had in their lifetime."
"Take "Harry Potter" as an example. Others have to go from first grade to seventh grade step by step, and then go through graduation exams, three years of training, Auror exams, etc. before they can become an Auror."
"And I started directly from becoming an Auror, and my progress was much faster than others."
"When I straighten out the logic of science and technology, you will have to give me a long vacation after you return to China."
"It's really a bit tiring."
Zheng Li asked: "What is an Auror?"
Li Miaomiao was surprised: "Have you never seen Harry Potter?"
Zheng Li: "I haven't seen it."
Although he knew about Harry Potter, he only knew the general plot framework.
Zheng Li had no impression of this specific profession.
Li Miaomiao explained: ""Harry Potter" is very interesting. You can check it out when you have time."
"But based on what I know about you, you will definitely question the unreasonable aspects of the plot and magic after reading it."
"I doubt that a scientific research geek like you will not like fantasy works."
"Similar to the law enforcers in the magical world, they are mainly responsible for combating criminals in the magical world and arresting them."
Zheng Li immediately understood, "There should be only a few mages who can become Aurors, right?"
Li Miaomiao nodded: "Of course, there is no one-in-ten chance."
"Aurors have very high requirements for mages."
"Because it involves a direct fight with criminals, if you are not strong enough, you may lose your life."
“I loved Aurors when I was a kid watching the Harry Potter movies.”
"I think they are strong and can uphold justice."
Zheng Li realized that there seemed to be no dedicated law enforcers in the Magic Alliance.
The Mage Alliance will have a central artificial intelligence to manage all mages. When the mages obtain the magic brain, they will be implanted with monitoring devices.
If you violate the rules of the Mage Alliance, you will be recorded.
The central artificial intelligence will punish you based on the severity of your behavior.
As for bypassing the internal limitations of the Demonic Brain, Zheng Li had never heard of anyone doing it before coming to Blue Star.
Because the next generation of the Spellcasting Alliance is intensively cultivated by artificial wombs.
There is no concept of parents or the next generation, so no mage would be so bold as to help the next generation create unlimited magic brains.
As for a mage who has the ability to cast spells without the need for a magic brain, the spellcasting ability of such a mage will not be as good as a natural mage with the blessing of a magic brain.
If this kind of mage behaves beyond the rules, the artificial intelligence will organize the surrounding mages to take action.
However, the concept of Aurors would not be new to Zheng Li, because there were similar law enforcers in the Mages Alliance in the medieval times.
"But growing up I thought it was too dangerous to be an Auror,"
"In addition to the three protagonists, there are thirteen named Aurors in the original "Harry Potter" books."
"Six of them were either killed in action or were permanent patients at St. Mungo's Hospital. The loss ratio was too high."
"Not suitable for me."
Zheng Li nodded: "It's close to 50%, which is indeed a bit dangerous."
