Chapter Seventy-Four: Out of Control

"Is it a revelation from the gods, or is it the reality of humanity? At the end of the film, Sean Connery, who plays the main character, leaves a "A-man", does this phrase mean "a person" or "a human" or a variation of "Amen"? The gifted Miss Catherine Edson did not hesitate to show us the wasteland. Such a world, such a human being, this is our future? Or is this what we humans are as ugly? β€”The New York Times

"This is a revelation from God." -- The Christian Truth Monitor

"This is a new chapter in the world of cinema. Catherine Edson's DreamWorks special effects have all Hollywood's film production companies under their feet. - Los Angeles Times

New York is boiling.

Los Angeles is boiling.

All of North America is boiling.

Fallout was an unexpected success, and even Catherine could not have imagined that people would love the film so much.

Compared to the fact that most of the people who usually watch movies are Caucasian, this time, many black people also ran to the movie theater.

Because they know that the opening of the film turned out to be their own ballad, and in the film, there is also a black star.

Even for the Chinese in the United States, who constitute a small society alone, this film has attracted their attention.

It's just that compared to the white people, they pay more attention to the plot, and they heard that there is a Chinese person who performs in it, and he is the protagonist.

Just a month ago, President Kennedy was assassinated, and the whole United States was in a state of confusion for a while, and the sensational speech in August was also the key to directly driving up the box office of "Wasteland".

When Catherine received the news, she was in fact planning a Harry Potter movie.

In Eastwood's view, there is no problem with making movies, but it is difficult to make special effects like "Wasteland", because a lot of magic requires special effects, and these effects, in general, are difficult to express, unless Catherine really develops a supercomputer that can make a later stage.

In recent times, though, that's not possible.

Catherine now flips through books every day, but not on subject matter, but on filmmaking and special effects.

Harry Potter doesn't need montage or deep music, but it does require a lot of special effects.

Devil vines, giant spiders, two-faced people......

The time and effort required to shoot such a movie is likely to exceed that of "Wasteland".

So, Catherine had an idea: to shoot an animated film!

Until the time the wasteland was released, Catherine had been thinking about it.

However, with the release of Wasteland, Catherine's plans were temporarily interrupted.

The response to "Wasteland" is far better than Catherine's expectations, originally Catherine expected the box office to be about 5,000, which has doubled, and now, the estimated box office may go to 80 million, in 2010, this is 500 million!

Throughout the Christmas schedule, this film occupies the throne of the box office champion.

Catherine is about to be rich, but she knows that her business is still very young compared to giant companies such as IBM.

Companies worth billions or even tens of billions can't compare with themselves.

And in the future, there will be those companies worth hundreds of billions or even more -- Microsoft Corporation, which is worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Not to mention those military-industrial complexes.

Catherine's dream is far more than the 50 million or 80 million, she wants to have a higher goal!

"Wasteland" has been soaring all the way, and Catherine, a genius lady, has become more famous, although she rarely makes official appearances, but when others talk about her, they will always talk about this magical "magical girl".

But at this time, something unpleasant happened......

Catherine's films were very popular, and along with the "Fallout" book and war games, sales also became popular.

The release time of "Wasteland" in Europe has also been put on the schedule.

Because black people are rare to become one of the main characters of the film, the film is very popular among black people.

Moreover, because the film echoes Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" in August, and because the film is more implicitly racist, it is supported by anti-racists and black power activists. ,

But at this time, in many places, white supremacist demonstrations unexpectedly broke out!

In 1964, the Ku Klux Klan set fire to a black church, beat a congregationist, and brutally murdered three black people, many of the perpetrators were acquitted, and those in prison did not serve more than six years in prison. And this incident was also one of the reasons for the outbreak of the conflict later.

The hippie movement began to flourish, but racism also grew rampant, and the whole of America seemed to be a deformed society where two worlds were kneaded together at the same time.

In the unsanctioned marches that erupted in January, many black churches were smashed, and many were even beaten or even killed.

On the surface, this has nothing to do with Catherine's films, but in fact, her films have unexpectedly become an intensifier of national contradictions!

After many illegal demonstrations were dispersed, many leaflets and slogans were always found resisting Catherine's notions of "racial unity" and "caricaturing racial discrimination".

The actions of these white supremacists have pushed many neutrals and black sympathizers into the camp of anti-racists, and they have become the target of public criticism.

But that didn't improve Catherine's current situation.

Catherine had been prepared.

But the impact of "Wasteland" far outweighed Catherine's judgment, leading things to spiral out of control......

Especially the Edsons.

She was simply terrified when they got the news.

You know, wasn't it because of the Civil Rights Act that Kennedy was assassinated in November?

"Kate, maybe you should dodge first......"

Emma said to Catherine with so much concern.

"yes, you know what? Those two factions (racists and anti-racists) are crazy! White people are crazy! Blacks are crazy too! Who knows if those Chinese and Japanese in Chinatown will also go crazy! Oh my God, I went to the office today and I had at least three demonstrations and the police were too busy. It's the first time I've seen the NYPD get down to business......"

Bruce complained as well.

"But is there anything we can do?"

Catherine also didn't know what to do after she poked the hornet's nest herself.

"I've consulted with your father, Kate, and we've decided to let you go to England first, at least to find your aunt. Remember your homework on 'genealogy'? That's with her help......"
