Chapter 260: Video Game Regulations Released

"Soviet…spy?"

After Bruce heard the news, he found that things in Africa suddenly became complicated.

It was not as if Bruce didn't listen to Catherine's words at all as it appeared on the surface. On the contrary, Bruce has been obsessed with this "tanzanite" from that day on.

Anyway, other arms dealers have already begun to enter Africa. Bruce estimated that his small company should not be too eye-catching, so he took a fancy to the jeweler Lawrence, and then sponsored him to go to Tanzania to dig stones.

Things are rare and valuable. The foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania are the only source of tanzanite, so the price of tanzanite is high. If Umbrella does not participate in military operations, but only mines here,

I'm afraid I can make a lot of money.

Bruce has already made up his mind. If nothing unexpected happens, his African umbrella members will simply join the mining industry. This industry is simply huge profits.

Of course, this kind of gem mine is easy to say, but if it is an ordinary coal mine, copper mine, and iron mine, it will undoubtedly be too painful to let people in the company do it, and at that time, local workers will have to be hired.

In fact, this plan has not yet been finalized, but at this time, a piece of news about the Soviet Union made Bruce retreat.

He doesn't want something major to happen that will affect his company.

But after thinking about it, Bruce found that Tanzania is one of the few relatively peaceful countries in Africa. Because of this, Bruce decided that it would be more appropriate to keep Umbrella employees here.

As for the problem of Soviet spies? It is not Bruce who should worry about this problem, but the arms bosses...

"We have witnessed a brand new era and a brand new product. This competition is not just about the strength and weakness of a game, but the formation of a competitive spirit. Electronic games and e-sports will be in the future.

Playing an increasingly important role in the development of e-sports, it is conceivable that this kind of mental sports will be on par with traditional sports competitions in the future, and people's thinking and habits will change due to the emergence of e-sports..."

Reading this article in the newspaper that had a strong "shooter smell", Catherine also felt a little "sweaty".

But... such an article was actually written by Catherine herself. After finishing it and submitting it to various newspapers, Catherine suddenly realized that her article... was a bit too much?

Originally, she thought that her manuscript was likely to be "shot", but she did not expect that it would still be published.

But when she thought about it, Catherine understood what was going on.

Nowadays, video games have become a focus in society, just like stars in the spotlight, dazzling. Especially the much-talked-about Emma Cube.

Reasonable?

To hell with any bullshit rationality

What our newspapers need is explosive material. What we want is readers to buy into it.

The media's mentality of making money happened to take advantage of Catherine, so such an article was finally published openly.

For Catherine, this is undoubtedly good news.

In addition to this good news, Catherine also received another good news - Bush Sr.'s "Video Game Regulations" proposal was finally passed by Congress and will be implemented starting next year.

The video game classification plan will divide games into all ages, 12 years old and above, 16 years old and above, 18 years old and above, and 21 years old and above - the so-called 21 bans, which are some extremely depressing games.

Games like Schizophrenia.

What Catherine didn't expect was that just after the bill was passed, a large-scale demonstration broke out in New York. Many young people took to the streets to strongly protest against the government's introduction of this bill.

"The people are extremely indignant at the promulgation of this bill, and they strongly demand that the government repeal this bill that restricts freedom..."

This is also how various media reported this news.

"Don't they know that this is for their own good?"

Watching the live coverage of the parade on angelbeats-news, Catherine was speechless.

——In fact, this is also true. If it does not receive the support of the majority of people, how can such a bill be passed?

A strong counter-evidence is that although there were many people protesting this time, Bush Sr.'s approval rating did not fall but rose. This can already explain what is going on.

1967 happened to be the year when the hippies began to flourish. Catherine suspected that this parade was probably organized because these people were too idle.

They oppose everything that can be opposed and deny all traditions that can be negated.

This counter-culture movement has clearly affected Chiyu.

Catherine's bill was shot for no apparent reason.

Of course, Catherine also believed that there were many senior players who didn’t know why.

In fact, Catherine's previous review of games was called a strict one. Almost all third-party game manufacturers were in favor of this bill, so after the introduction of this bill, they can be said to be the first group to respond.

The best way to deal with this matter is not to make any comments and never get involved - you know, unscrupulous media can be really troublesome sometimes.

"The era of ratings for video games has arrived, but what about the era of ratings for the movie industry?" - "Los Angeles Times".

In addition to some people who shouted loudly, some sensible people also saw other aspects of things from this incident.

To be honest, Catherine sometimes thinks these "reasonable people" are cute.

The era of film classification originally started in 1968, and Catherine didn't think she had changed anything... Oh, it seemed that she had become the driving force behind the entire incident?

In any case, the news about movie ratings has indeed begun to spread. Even after Ada came to Catherine's house, she was always talking about movie ratings.

——American movies have entered an unprecedented low period. Except for Catherine, who is able to step into the queen's family, it is difficult for other companies, especially small companies, to pass the review, and even if they pass the review, they often fail.

It will be cut beyond recognition.

"...Kate, you know, this way, our entire film industry seems to have been reborn."

Ada is describing a bright future to Catherine.

“It’s really good.”

Catherine showed a lack of interest, not because she was tired of Ada, but because Catherine already knew the future trajectory.

After establishing a new film censorship system, it is like giving Hollywood a shot in the arm and then giving the other side a bottle of stimulant.

The abolition of the Hays Code will slowly move American films toward pure commercialization, a sign of pure money-orientedness.

R-rated films such as "Deep Throat" will not only bring visual impact to people, but will also lead the film to the road of vulgarity.

The Hays Code was abolished last year. Now the film industry is in a state of confusion. The popularity of American films continues to decline. At this time, many Americans even

The movies made in America now are equated with trash.

Of course, there are exceptions, and Catherine's film is also a very good representative - and it is quite popular.

"But I think the Hays Code has just been abused."

Catherine finally said this.

"That's true, but it's just because of the flaws in the code itself, and what we have to do is change it."

Ada said with a smile.

Because Ada goes to school in Los Angeles, Ada will come to stay with Catherine for a while when she has nothing to do. It can be said that Ada is a frequent visitor to Catherine's home.

"Now, Kate, what do you think will happen to us in the future?"

Just as she was talking, Ada suddenly changed the topic.

"In the future... wasn't this question asked a few days ago?"

Ada scratched her head: "No, I'm talking about have you planned your future?"

"Of course, I will be the mastermind behind the world in the future..."

Catherine repeated what she had said to her father.

"Ahem...Kate, what I said is true. It's like me, I will be an actor in the future. I plan to develop into action."

"Oh... In this case, I will naturally be in my own company and live my life day by day." Catherine just shrugged at this.

"Then don't you have a bigger dream? It's like I want to be a big star or something... don't talk about the mastermind behind the scenes."

Ada obviously took Catherine's words as a joke.

"this……"

Catherine looked up at the celestial board.

I have cried and laughed, but life will still go on.

No matter what era she was in, no matter what kind of people she was around. Without this awareness, Catherine would have collapsed as early as she came into this world.

"Of course I want to live a good life."

Catherine answered matter-of-factly.

"...That's right, your method is different from most of us." Ada curled her lips.

"Is this nothing?"

"Yeah, it's really nothing..."

Ada looked at Catherine, and Catherine looked at Ida.

Then, both shrugged.

"Okay, now I just want my company to develop well, and then occasionally shoot a movie or two, and if it's interesting, write two more books, that's it."

"Do you want to keep yourself free?"

"I've been very busy."

"……All right."

Ada is a woman, and she doesn't seem to understand why Catherine cares so much about her career.
