Chapter 151 "Zombie Survival Manual"

"Kate, you're 17 years old."

Father Bruce's voice came from the phone.

"Yes, Dad, but what does it have to do with that?"

"Uh......" Bruce wanted to educate his daughter, but suddenly found that he didn't know what to say: "I mean, a lot of times, you have to rely on yourself, not me." ”

"Maybe, but right now, I need someone who can help me get things done."

"I think you probably need a professional agent, but this person has to have a fresh mind, not be like some stubborn old man."

Listening to Bruce's voice, it seems that there is a deep feeling of understanding. It seems that when he was under the umbrella, he dealt with certain people, and Bruce did suffer from it.

"That's right." Catherine replied.

"Okay, tell me about the person you have in mind, maybe I can give you some advice on this."

"Vicent. Fox. Quesada. Catherine said the name.

Vicente will work at Coca-Cola in the future, and he can be said to be a very conscientious professional agent, so it is probably no problem to let the other party come over and maintain the company for more than ten years.

"He's now studying at Harvard." Catherine added.

The other party will be the president of Mexico in the future, but now the other party is still a young man, so he is invited to come over...... Probably no problem. And even if he doesn't want to, Coca-Cola will gladly accept him. Since you know such a talent, of course, you have to put it under yourself

"I'll help you look up this person's information."

"Thank you Dad~"

That's it, and Catherine can be regarded as letting go of a concern.

Next, Catherine just needs to wait for the results to come out and the release of "Flags of the Fathers".

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Catherine came to the big villa in New York State again and began a temporary leisure.

In fact, Catherine would have preferred to live on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, where Daddy Bruce bought a few plots of land.

Of course, Catherine hadn't decided whether the land there would be for sale or to build a house, so living in Manhattan was just an idea for the time being.

Since her former companions have gone to college, there are only Catherine and Elsa here for the time being.

It's just that Catherine hasn't relaxed yet, and the news has come one by one, but among them, many of them are profitable news, so when Catherine looks at these news and the income and expenditure statements, she actually feels pretty good.

"What? Millions of copies sold? ”

Catherine suddenly discovers an obscure book published by Angel Press, which sells extremely well. The title of the book is "The Handbook of Nuclear Survival".

This book was released by Catherine as part of the Wasteland War Chess series, and it sold well at first.

But Catherine just thought it was fun and interesting.

She didn't expect that after such a long time, the book would sell so well now, even surpassing the sales of wasteland warchess

In fact, Catherine did this entirely because there was a "zombie warning guide" in history, and it was the CDC that released the news.

With a ridiculous mind, Catherine came up with this rather spoofed "Nuclear Survival Manual".

"Sales are ...... so high"

It's right to think that in this era, almost all Americans think that World War III will break out, and it is only a matter of time before it is a matter of time. And once war breaks out, nuclear war is inevitable.

It is precisely because of the success of the "Nuclear Survival Manual" that Catherine is reminded of the "Zombie Warning Guide" again.

The Zombie Warning Guide is a blog published by the U.S. government on the Internet at the end of May 2011 to guide the public in dealing with the zombie apocalypse.

Hey, wouldn't it be fun to publish a book like this yourself?

Although it was just a spoof before, now, Catherine really has the nature of publishing such a book, but Catherine has in mind not just such a guide, but the "Zombie Survival Handbook", which was once very popular later.

Maybe you can launch such a book yourself?

But does anyone really know what Catherine herself describes as a zombie now?

Catherine also found the description of zombies in the current people, but the result was not very satisfactory.

Because at this time, the word "zombie" only exists in fantasy and horror works, and there are few science fiction works that are related to the real world. ,

So if you really do this, and if you sell it rashly, I'm afraid there will be no repercussions, after all, this thing is a little different from the "Nuclear Survival Manual".

In order to make such a manual, it is necessary to make the audience agree with the concept of "zombies".

By the way, when did zombies start to appear in people's field of vision?

"Night of the Living Dead?"

Catherine thought of a movie.

Whether it is Resident Evil or a series of other zombie movies, they basically can't get rid of the concept of "zombies" in this film.

George. A. Romero, this master of horror films, will raise enough money in 1968 to shoot the Night of the Living Dead.

In that case, why didn't you pull him over?

However, Catherine's plan was soon interrupted again, because "Flags of the Fathers" was finally released.

Catherine also rushed to the premiere.

At the premiere, Catherine found that a lot of parents came with their children, and there was no such noisy feeling on the set, and the atmosphere seemed to be a little depressing.

Catherine's "Flags of the Fathers" is a little different from history. The whole film reflects the tragedy of the soldiers on the battlefield, as well as the lack of humanity in society.

Compared to the original flags of her fathers, Catherine has made changes.

It just so happens that this year marks the twentieth anniversary of World War II, and Catherine's film echoes this theme.

Because most people in this era came from World War II, and the shadow of the Soviet Union has always lingered, so Catherine's films, the premiere is so popular.

The movie started soon, but Catherine couldn't stand the slightly oppressive atmosphere and chose to leave early.

However, Catherine also discovered that World War II films are also quite popular now.

Unconsciously, Catherine thought of a more famous film - "Schindler's List".

Catherine also has Jewish ancestry in her, and speaking of which, it seems like a good thing to make this movie?

"Schindler's List" is much more practical than "Night of the Living Dead".

"Flags of the Fathers" costs $15 million, and the projected profit is about $30 million.

Compared with the losses in history, the "Flags of the Fathers" filmed by myself is really good.

However, "Flags of the Fathers" is indeed somewhat inferior to Catherine's previous "Red Alert" and "Wasteland" in terms of box office potential.

Catherine felt that she was still more promising in making sci-fi films, and as for the other films, it would be good to leave them to other talented directors.

However, such a film is in terms of word-of-mouth, but it is the best of Catherine's films.

We have no doubt about the righteousness of the movement of heroes in the war, as it is said in the movie, it is a behind-the-scenes war that must be fought in order to win the war, but we must face the truth of history, and we must face our true inner self - the New York Times.

If you want to watch a war blockbuster, then you must be very disappointed after watching this film.

Some people say that the film is fragmented, and the war scenes are scattered by various memories. This is nonsense, this film is originally concerned about the experience of several flag-planting "heroes" and their complex psychological states, and the clue of the whole film is their memories, especially the medics, from waking up in a nightmare at the beginning, to flashing back to find his closest comrade-in-arms "Iggy" during the performance of flag-planting in the square, to getting married and having children after the war, buying a crematorium, and calling "Where-is-he!" when he died. This line goes hand in hand with the three lines of war and post-war propaganda at the same time, completely showing the image of the fathers and the director's thinking, this is not a war film, this is actually a humanistic thinking film dressed in the cloak of war - "The Washington Post"

Mainstream society is generally optimistic about Catherine's film, and at least in this regard, Catherine feels that her film is worth it.

Then, the time has gradually moved to December......

Peter. Drasant, a former CDC specialist now retired, was hired by DreamWorks and got together with a group of his former colleagues.

They will have to analyze and discuss how to prevent and control a disease, even though they are told that the virus does not exist.

“T”。

This is the only thing they know about this so-called virus.

"T-virus...... It's horrible. ”

When he got the information, Pete found out that it was a terrifying thing. ,

Is it necessary to shoot a movie?

Depending on the requirements, Pete they need to specify a perfect prevention plan based on the characteristics of the T-virus.

Then, they were told that there was a good chance that the project would be published and that they would get a decent fee.

Can such an unbelievable prevention plan be published? Pete felt a little unbelievable.

The strange thing is still to come, they are required to sign a non-disclosure contract, which is even more confusing.

- And the reason for this qiē is the "Zombie Survival Manual" that Catherine needs to write.

Of course, she couldn't just sell the manual, and she had to polish the content of the article to make it more authentic and readable, rather than a report or a guide.

Time gradually came towards Christmas, and finally Catherine had to stop what she was doing, and on this Christmas, Catherine had one more important thing to do - that is, Elsa's birthday.

December 24th, Christmas Eve, is also Elsa's birthday.
