Magic has had a profound impact on the outside world.
For the general public, the desire is more about mastering magic; if you actually asked them to read Merlin's forum, most of them wouldn't be able to finish it.
In this era, in-depth reading is a rare skill. The rise of mobile internet has led to a significant decline in people's in-depth reading abilities.
Not to mention the astonishing amount of information and the incredibly high level of magical scholarship required to read it.
People would rather watch the explanation videos on Bilibili than have the patience to watch them carefully.
After realizing the difficulty of obtaining magoin and thus magic, everyone chose to give up.
Magic no longer needs to be hidden. When business giants recruit from mathematics and astronomy departments, they can openly say that they are there to mine.
Online, magoin is jokingly referred to as Merlin Coin or Magic Stone. Mathematics students who go to mine magoin for research jokingly say that they are prospecting for minerals, and whether they can find any minerals containing magic stones is another matter.
Fantasy games are selling like hotcakes, and riding the wave of magic, The Witcher 3 sold over a million copies.
The Harry Potter mobile game, launched by a Chinese NetEase developer three years ago, has once again topped the iOS free mobile game charts.
miHoYo has announced that it will be making a magic-themed role-playing game, and the project team has already begun to be formed.
It's difficult to actually gain spellcasting ability, but it's easy to ride the wave of popularity.
Internet enthusiasts finally understand why Qidian has been vigorously promoting fantasy writing contests in the past two years.
Fantasy novels, though generally not popular, tend to get more recommendation spots than other novels of the same type but different data.
How can I see the tens of millions of yuan in the fantasy writing contest on Qidian?
This answer was posted on Zhihu in 2021, and by the end of 2023, a large number of people came back to dig it up and add new answers.
One of the answers from 2021 said the following:
"Fantasy novel copyrights are hard to sell domestically, and it would be even harder for Qidian to sell its copyrights overseas."
The mature Hollywood production line has no need for Chinese fantasy works.
What's the point of Qidian doing this? There must be some information hidden within this fantasy writing contest worth millions; we can only wait for future generations to answer it.
This answer is closest to the truth. Two years later, people who dug up the old post commented below:
"Brother, is he still there? He's come out to see the magic."
"So magic really does exist. The starting point is probably also acting under orders from above."
"There really is information we don't know about."
"If Merlin hadn't made a public appearance, we probably wouldn't have known the inside story for a long time."
"I estimate that even the editors and senior management of Qidian are unaware of this level of secrecy."
"I've already saved all the videos of Merlin from various angles in Stockholm on my computer and external hard drive, just in case the Ministry of Magic casts a forgetting spell on me one day."
Warner Bros. has publicly announced that it will revive the Harry Potter film series.
Previously successful film series are generally not remade too quickly, especially commercially successful series like Harry Potter.
However, with magic currently enjoying the highest popularity and holding the top-tier magic IP of "Harry Potter," making money is the most important thing right now.
With current special effects technology, Warner Bros. is confident that it can achieve great success again.
Having already had successful experience, Warner Bros. is again planning to cast three child actors globally.
Warner Bros. announced on social media that they would do everything in their power to invite Merlin to serve as a technical advisor for Harry Potter, striving to give the public the most realistic visual feast of the magical world.
This is just wishful thinking on the part of the merchants. The magical world of Harry Potter and the Wizarding Alliance that Zheng Li belongs to have nothing in common.
Magic is science, a relentless pursuit of truth, not something that can be achieved through just five years of education.
Zheng Li spent nearly thirty years at the Dharma Academy, and after graduating as a Dharma Master, he studied and worked at the Dharma Tower for more than ten years.
Rowling posted on Twitter:
"Merlin's magic in Stockholm was just as I imagined. I'm grateful to Merlin for letting me know that the little boy I saw on the train back then really exists."
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 it."
Warner Bros. holds the top Harry Potter IP, and other film giants like Disney and Paramount followed suit.
For IPs with magic-related content, the magic aspect can be singled out. For example, the copyright holders of Lord of the Rings would take Gandalf's story and make a series of movies specifically for it.
Many film companies even wanted to make a film about Merlin's legendary life.
The fervor surrounding magic won't die down so quickly.
In addition to the official live broadcast, audience members also took many photos from different angles during Merlin's performance in Stockholm.
Each video received a huge number of views as soon as it was uploaded.
The official video on YouTube has already surpassed 100 million views.
The credibility of the Nobel Prize has suffered a huge blow.
It turns out that even science and engineering awards can be manipulated; a single word from a powerful figure can make the Nobel Prize committee compromise.
It's unbelievable that someone like Mirren, a fraudster, could win the Nobel Prize, and even be the sole recipient.
The award committee knew this all along, but still awarded it to him.
The loss of public trust has led to the Nobel Prize being relegated to a second-rate award in the future.
As for Bill, he has completely lost positive emotions and the meaning of life.
Every day, all I could do was watch the recording of the Nobel Prize award ceremony before Merlin's appearance, and see myself looking so smug on stage, which made me feel a little better.
