Chapter XVII

When she got back to school, Catherine decided to inform Lily of what had happened.

After all, she wrote this script for Lily's sake.

Such a script can be written and filmed by a few college students at the beginning, and there is no reason why a few of them can't complete it, after all, Catherine's mental age is about the same as that of an adult.

"Lily, do you want to make a movie?"

These were Catherine's first words after meeting Lily.

"Making a movie? What the? ”

Catherine then gave a general explanation of the plot.

"I'm thinking about the plot, and now Ida has decided to star in it, and I'm going too. But the actor doesn't know who to turn to......"

That's a problem.

Perhaps because of her own reasons, Catherine grew up

"No need for boys! I'll just do it! ”

Lily said with a smile.

"Look, isn't it interesting that the cinematographer is also the main actor?"

"Uh......"

But it looks like it's a boy in the original book, right?

Do you want to change it yourself?

Catherine thought about it, and didn't think it mattered much.

Although the main plot may have to be modified slightly, it is not a big deal, after all, in this movie, the protagonist only plays the role of connecting the plot, although the acting skills are useful and useful, but what makes this film really popular is the hype.

Of course, it doesn't mean that acting skills are completely useless, in fact, if the actors can't bring out the terrifying atmosphere, it's useless.

"Even though I prefer to take pictures, I don't have any problems with using a camera, you know, my dad was a photographer. Maybe I can ask someone from the photography agency to help out, what do you think? ”

Lily said excitedly.

Anyway, the plot is just an idea, and it hasn't officially started to be written.

In fact, this incident did not cause much repercussions, there are many people who shoot student movies, you know, in this year, I don't know how many movies that cost only a few thousand dollars appeared, but they can become famous...... It's only about 1 in 10,000. More often than not, they are shown in the school video room for themselves or kept as information.

It's December.

The manuscript of "Blair the Witch" has not yet been written.

After all, this is a script, not a novel, and it needs to be done with caution and caution. The original plot has also been modified, and Catherine herself actually has no psychological bottom.

And what is more important is not this, but the proposal book of the paper book publishing house.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets will be released on December 10th, and they invited Catherine to sign it live.

This is probably also a propaganda ploy, after all, Catherine is only a 12-year-old girl, such a girl has written such a blockbuster book, even if the average person does not read this book, I am afraid that they will be interested in this book, right?

Speaking of "Harry Potter", Catherine has also modified it, which is more in line with the taste of Americans - after all, she has also been an American for 12 years, so she naturally knows what people like nowadays, this kind of fantasy and reality are not only loved by children, but also by adults.

It just so happens that this period is already approaching the holiday.

The winter vacation in the United States is connected with Christmas and Spring Festival, and compared to the three-month summer vacation, their winter vacation can be said to be very short.

December 10th, this day, has finally arrived.

"Harry Potter was originally written by Kate, oh God...... I didn't even ask her for an autograph! Lily grumbled.

"Maybe we should ask her to treat us to a good meal, or make a part?" Lisa smiled.

Everything was ready, but Catherine didn't expect her classmates to come here at this time.

What she didn't expect was that they were all fans of Harry Potter.

Hell, when did you see them read their own books?

"At the time, I thought it was just the same name, but I didn't expect it to be our Kate~"

There is a lot of repetition of names in Europe and the United States, and there are fewer basic surnames than in China, although they also have many creative names, but that situation is still more sensational.

Thankfully, perhaps because they felt that this day was more important to Catherine, they only smiled as they handed the book to Catherine, but they did not speak.

However, they didn't bother Catherine, and the rest of the book lovers couldn't help but be curious. ,

"I didn't expect you to be so young...... Oh, my grandson loves your book......" "Thank you. ”

This is an old grandmother touching her hand.

"Is it okay to date me? Sister~" "No. ”

This is a little kid about nine years old.

"What a beautiful girl...... Oh, forgive me. Your book is so beautiful that I was completely immersed in it. "Sir, don't forget the real world."

This is a middle-aged man in his forties, presumably a World War II survivor, presumably a crappy wet man and escapist at the same time.

Overall, the signing session was a success. Although her hands felt sore, Catherine finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, even Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings has been criticized as "escapism", which has sparked huge controversy. It is only 15 years since the end of World War II, and the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union is gradually escalating, and no one knows whether a third world war may break out. But in the face of negative feelings about war, the mainstream view is still critical.

Even if she is criticized, in fact, the fashion trend will not change, but Catherine still hopes that she can make a good impression on the media. The media may not affect anything, but they can be upsetting.

It wasn't until the end of the day that Lily and the others gathered around.

It was at this time that Lily and the others noticed that perhaps the script of "Blair the Witch" that Catherine had thought of seemed to be very good, but their minds were not here at this time.

They are like Columbus who discovered the New World, excitedly fiddling with their classmates in the past six months, while Catherine's parents drove away in a fun way - Catherine is only 12 years old after all, and a guardian needs to be present to attend such an event, otherwise the American law will be very cheating - anyway, with her classmates, she is not afraid of problems.

"Oh my God, Kate, you actually wrote Harry Potter! You know, I've always wanted to know who its author is~"

Lily had a $15 hardcover book and a $50 collector's book, the one in full color with countless illustrations.

The illustrations were also drawn by Catherine herself. Catherine had never learned to draw before, she learned to draw digitally directly, and even the line drawings were drawn on a computer, which was actually an adjustment after work. It's just that at this time, she picked it up, although it can't be said to be too good, but it can be regarded as an upper-middle level.

Strange to say, since Catherine was reborn, she has found that she learns everything quickly, and sometimes it is really convenient to twist it with her fingers.

However, she only drew illustrations for the first three books, and as for the last four, she didn't have the energy at all now.

"Maybe we should celebrate this Christmas~" Lisa smiled.

"That...... Probably not. ”

Catherine said suddenly.

"My dad was going to take us on a tour of Seattle for Christmas...... My mom always wanted to go over there. ”
