Chapter 242 Entering October

"Elsa, what do you think of this outline?"

Catherine showed Elsa the outline of the article.

Elsa looked at it, seeming a little doubtful.

"This...what is a hacker?"

"Well……"

This is really hard to explain.

"It's...a kind of person who is very proficient in computers and the Internet. They know the Internet very well."

Catherine could only explain it this way.

"oh."

Elsa said, and then looked at it carefully, but the more she looked at it, the weirder Elsa's face became.

"Kate...this...this...are you sure you want to write this story?"

"Any questions?"

Catherine asked strangely.

"I just think... such a story might not be good for the company's image, right? And when I read this story... I have a strange feeling, and I always feel that there is something cold behind my back..."

Catherine was stunned for a moment. Indeed, her writing seemed a bit...dark.

Although it is just an outline, such a story is indeed dark and chilling.

After calming down, Catherine looked over and felt that she had gone too far.

"Lereira, come and take a look, what do you think of the outline of my little talk?" Catherine could only ask another person to come over and take a look.

"Oh, I'm honored."

Lyrella on the side had already tried it eagerly, and then she took the manuscript excitedly.

But after watching it for a long time, Lyreira remained stunned.

"What's wrong?"

Catherine asked strangely.

"Honestly...I don't understand."

Lyrela looked at Catherine with a very innocent look.

Catherine was a little discouraged.

Indeed, both "network" and "hacker" are too advanced for people at this time.

It seems like I really chose the wrong subject?

then what should we do?

Should I continue writing?

Catherine was a little hesitant, but soon she made up her mind - the worst she could do was to hide it for a few years and then publish it.

Anyway, I did this out of interest, not for anything else.

If that's the case, then why do you care so much?

Then, Catherine began to retreat into writing.

But this time, Catherine didn't use handwriting, but a keyboard.

Typing on the mechanical keyboard, with the sweet sound of keyboard tapping in her ears, Catherine wrote more than 10,000 words in one go. Of course, these are just the first draft.

"In fact, I think this would be absolutely popular if it could be adapted into a movie."

Catherine took the printed manuscript and sighed.

"But can this really be filmed?"

Elsa seemed to have a vague feeling that this film seemed a bit strange using current technology.

"Probably, but not now. After all, if it is to be made into a movie, there are too many things to consider."

Cost is very important. Without 20 to 30 million, this film would not be available at all.

It can even be said that without 50 to 60 million, it is simply impossible to shoot the version you imagined...

Although the hand-painted pseudo-3D effect can be achieved by using celluloid film, each piece of film requires a long time to produce, so the post-processing of this film will take at least several years to complete.

If there were no special effects, most of the flavor of "The Matrix" would be lost. Catherine didn't want to ruin a name like "The Matrix" in her own hands.

"Forget it, forget it, that's it"

Catherine sighed.

"Elsa, let's go to New York in two days to see the headquarters of Wal-Mart."

Catherine said.

Catherine originally planned to finish writing this novel within a month, but now that Catherine has decided to hide it, Catherine's original motivation seems to have disappeared for the most part. She decided to write it every day.

It is expected to be between several thousand and tens of thousands of words and is expected to be completed within the year.

"If we make a movie, it will take at least ten years before we can do it."'

Catherine finally added, "Moreover, we also need a martial arts instructor who can rival Li Xiaolong."

——Action scenes are also the highlight in "The Matrix".

"So, at least if we are shooting this film now, the probability of success is extremely low..."

"By the way, Mr. Li Xiaolong, I heard that Mr. Li named his kung fu Jeet Kune Do... Oh, this name is really cool."

Laerila has a crush on Li Xiaolong, just like Lily loves Elvis Presley.

Catherine has never understood this kind of star-chasing behavior. Even if it is an autograph, she only thinks it is very commemorative, not because she is "in love" with these movie stars.

Catherine shrugged noncommittally.

Jeet Kune Do has appeared, but Li Xiaolong's fate is completely different from that in history. He now stays in the United States, and there is a professional medical team around him, which will make Li Xiaolong's life as good as possible

The body is in optimal condition, rather than running overloaded as before.

Moreover, Li Xiaolong rarely returns to Hong Kong now. Instead, he spends most of his time in the United States filming movies.

It can be said that that scene in history will probably never happen again...

After waiting two days, Catherine and Elsa took the plane back to New York.

At this time, the time has entered October. Despite this, the temperature in New York is still high, especially at noon, the heat is overwhelming and makes people extremely uncomfortable.

So, Catherine simply took Lyrela and Elsa back to the villa in New York, ready to play in the swimming pool. It was rare free time now, and it was necessary to relax - but Catherine was not sure that would happen.

Something unexpected happened, so I didn't go on a trip like last year.

However, when Catherine arrived at the villa, she was shocked.

When she stepped into the secret base on the third floor, she found that the place had changed drastically.

This place has been completely transformed into a place similar to a bar or nightclub.

Despite this, the original home theater equipment is still retained.

In front of the theater is a stage. After turning off the lights, enjoying the movie will not be affected at all... At least Catherine is now watching the pole dance video being shown by Ada and Lily, and the effect seems to be very good.

"What are you doing?"

Catherine was stunned.

"Learning pole dancing, what's wrong?"

Ada looked at Catherine strangely.

"But aren't you supposed to be... uh... in school?"

"Don't you know today is Saturday?"

"Well……"

Catherine was speechless for a moment.

She scratched her head.

Ever since I became an adult, my concept of time has faded a lot. Most of the time, I just remember the date, which seems to be a bit hazy.

"Kate, do you want to learn?"

Catherine immediately shook her head like a plucked drum.

Modern pole dance originated from the day and night construction sites in the United States at the end of the 19th century. Initially, some construction workers danced and sang while holding construction steel pipes to have fun during the heavy work.

Therefore, pole dancing is also regarded as one of the top ten folk dances in the world.

However, since the Great Depression, pole dancing has gradually entered nightclubs, and until now, it has become a compulsory dance for dancers.

"Ada, why did you think of learning pole dancing?" Catherine asked curiously.

"This dance is very sexy, isn't it? I think it's just right." Ada looked at the charming performance in the video, "But I don't like the atmosphere of the nightclub very much, so I had to find videos to learn by myself.

."

Ada really doesn't like nightclubs. She already said that during the last party.

"All right."

In Catherine's opinion, pole dancing is a dance for men, and Catherine has never considered living with a man. Just thinking about living with a man one day makes Catherine feel very disgusting, so she

I'm not a fan of this kind of dance.

"Then I'll continue."

Ada shrugged.

"Okay...I'm going to have a swim."

Catherine shrugged.

"Seems interesting."

At this time, Lyrella and Elsa seemed to have a bright feeling in front of their eyes. They seemed to appreciate pole dancing very much.

"Really? Do you want to study?"

Ada said, her eyes still looking at Catherine.

"Hey, what's the point of this dance?"

Catherine clearly felt that something was not right in the atmosphere...

…

It is also October, and the climate in Africa is still as hot as ever.

In Tanzania, a new gemstone appears - tanzanite.

It is produced near the northern city of Arusha in Tanzania, at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, a world-famous tourist spot. This is the only place of origin in the world.

It is said that lightning ignited a grassland fire, and after the fire, the khaki-colored ore, which was originally mixed with other stones, turned blue.

This magical gem was just made public two months ago.

But now, businessmen who smelled the "smell of blood" have rushed over excitedly. Of course, the commercial development of this kind of gemstone will take at least two years.

However, there are some exceptions now.

A group of people appeared here, they were mercenaries.

Recently, more and more mercenaries have begun to appear in Africa. These various mercenaries often play a very important role in tribal conflicts.

But this group of people here is different. They are escorting an inspection group. Behind them, there is a white umbrella-shaped logo. This is their identity - the umbrella company.

staff.

Arms dealers have begun to enter Africa, but Bruce noticed the tanzanite that Catherine had proposed, so he began to cooperate with jewelers to dig for gems here - which is more profitable than gold.

The orbit of the world began to slowly shift...
