Wang Qinian looked at the time and saw that it was already three days in the afternoon. He frowned and stood up.

He has been working here since being recruited by Catherine in Europe to DreamWorks' animation department, where he is now a director.

Duncan, who came over at the same time as him, also had the same position as himself at this time. He is currently in charge of the animation of "Harry Potter".

As for Small—the guy whose name Catherine discovered could be directly translated as "Little White Wolf"—had left the company, he had become a pure housewife.

At this time, Wang Qinian was looking at a planning plan sent by Blizzard Company and thinking about it.

Because of the release of "Harry Potter", the sales of the Magic War Games series suddenly skyrocketed, especially those related to "Harry Potter". So Blizzard decided to strike while the iron was hot and launch several new anime.

One of them is his current plan.

《fate》.

The name is like this, and the copyright of this "fate" is in the hands of Catherine.

"Fate" is different from other stories. It is a relatively mén-oriented project in "Magic Chess". Generally speaking, "Fate" is a heroic battle. Seven magicians gather together, and then use the help of

The power of the Holy Grail summons ancient heroes to fight for it, and the victor will be granted a wish.

Because unlike other adventure games, the story flow of "Fate" is completely in the hands of the players themselves, so it can be long or short. Although it cannot be said to be very popular, many people who love this game have become

Die-hard loyalty is a goal that can be developed in the long term.

Although such a story sounds good, Wang Qinian found that he encountered big problems when adapting it.

One of the key points is that many things in this game are... ridiculous.

The legendary King Arthur was actually a nv. Not only that, even Nero, the tyrant of Rome, became a nv.

It's no wonder that only a small number of people like this... story like this. It was really difficult for Wang Qinian to write this plot - he is not interested in so-called "feminization" at all.

Not only him, but even the people under him have difficulty writing this story. King Arthur of nvxing? If it is really written, the British will not send a protest letter to DreamWorks, right?

Although he had obtained the authorization from Catherine, Wang Qinian was completely unable to write this thing.

It would be fine if it was just that King Arthur was transformed into that "Artoria", but this "King Arthur" is actually the only condition for the protagonist Catherine to authorize the adaptation, which is to have King Arthur appear as the protagonist, and the other stories will be handed over to the company itself

Come and design it.

Seeing the deadline approaching, Wang Qinian almost vomited blood.

He suddenly thought of the interview questions that Catherine gave them back then...

"Bring out the spirit of the exam that year"

Wang Qinian clenched his fists.

But at this time... the blood was useless, and Wang Qinian soon withered again.

"It's over...I'm done..."

…

"The adaptation plan has been shelved?"

Catherine was stunned for a moment after receiving the news from DreamWorks.

"How is this going?"

Catherine asked Wang Qinian on the other side of the phone, his voice a little nervous.

"Because the script... we... uh... this script is too difficult, we..."

"Alright alright……"

Catherine pouted.

In some bad taste, Catherine once wrote a magic war chess series about the "Moon World", and this "fate" is the most successful one. However, compared to other war chess series, "fate" does not have a relatively complete world view.

There is no so-called "main line", just some big battles, so except for some diehard fans, few people like this game.

Blizzard must have taken this into consideration, so it recently obtained the authorization to adapt the animation from Catherine.

But obviously, something went wrong on DreamWorks' side.

Why can't you accept this mere effeminate thing?

"Just because King Arthur is nvxing, this story will be popular."

Catherine was practically yelling into the phone.

"but……"

"There are no buts... Give me this script... Also, your bonus this year is gone."

"Yes……"

Wang Qinian over there was obviously a little disappointed.

The company's year-end bonus is very generous. Without the bonus, it can be said that a large amount of money has been lost. However, Wang Qinian had been mentally prepared before this.

Although there is no year-end bonus, fortunately DreamWorks' salary is relatively high and it does not affect my life.

"Well..." Wang Qinian did not choose to hang up the phone, but kindly reminded: "But if King Arthur is turned into nvxing, and also as the protagonist, will this cause dissatisfaction among the British?"

"Dissatisfied? What dissatisfaction would they have?" Catherine's voice was quite disdainful: "King Arthur is a Bullingdon, and she is the hero who led the Bullingdon people to fight against the rule of the Anglo-Saxons. Do-you-understand?"

"Well……"

Wang Qinian almost understood.

As a banana man with yellow skin and a white heart, Wang Qinian understands some European history. Strictly speaking, most of today's British people belong to the category that was "revolted" by King Arthur...

After hanging up the phone, Catherine did not start writing the script immediately.

This matter is just a minor incident, Catherine has more important things to do. And now, she just has some excuses...

Holding a stack of manuscript paper, Catherine came to the Burger King restaurant in District 1.

Catherine's main task now is to find the spy hidden in the company, the "Crow" of the KGB.

And Catherine, who came out with the manuscript paper, used the excuse of "looking for inspiration".

However, there were not many people in the restaurant. After all, it was only nine o'clock in the morning and everyone had just gone to work.

"Kate, what are you going to do?"

Elsa asked quietly in Catherine's ear.

"Don't be nervous, Elsa, I'm just here to write the script." Catherine looked at Elsa with sly eyes.

"Really, it just so happened that Laerila took leave today." Catherine sighed, and then put the file on the table.

"A glass of Coca-Cola."

Catherine ordered a Coke and sat down peacefully.

Catherine had finished all the work in the company yesterday, and she has nothing to worry about now - in fact, the company can still operate as usual even without Catherine. But when big things happen, it will definitely happen.

All kinds of questions.

But there is nothing big going on in the company now. For Catherine, the most important thing now is to "catch the spy."

You must arrest the guy who makes you unhappy.

But now, I must behave normally.

Catherine picked up the manuscript again.

"Elsa, if anyone pays attention here, just pay attention, but don't make the other person suspicious."

Elsa nodded.

Looking at the manuscript, Catherine began to outline the story.

Catherine remembered the anime "fate/stay-night" and "fate-zero" she had watched, and the theme of the "Holy Grail War" came from them.

But copying the plot is definitely not possible. The difference between Japanese and Americans is huge. Of course, you can still learn from what should be learned. There is also a game of the same name in "fate/stay-night" in history, and it is better than the anime

The plot of the version is richer, Americans have also translated the game, and it has also cultivated a large number of die-hard fans.

A very typical characteristic of Americans is that they love fantasy. They always think about some unrealistic problems. The hero in "Fate" is very suitable for Americans.

Of course, the plot still needs to be changed, otherwise it would be ridiculous if the protagonist is a Japanese...

As for the entire worldview, it can be applied to that in "Harry Potter". Anyway, when I was designing my own version of "Harry Potter", I had already slightly borrowed some things from the Moon World.

Even so, when it came time to actually start writing, Catherine found that it seemed to be really difficult.

Complete plagiarism is not Catherine's style, not to mention that if it is the original version, it will definitely be "off the street".

"otherwise……"

If The Matrix could be animated... it would be really good.

But this thought only flashed through Catherine's mind. If "The Matrix" were to be filmed now, this... this would seem a bit cheating.

Catherine returned to the original script of "fate".

At this time, she suddenly looked up. Except for those employees who had not eaten breakfast and were making up for their meals, there were still not many people in Burger King. And among these people...it seemed that there was really no one who could do anything.

Catherine knew that Kane was staring at this place with a camera at the moment, and every move of these people would definitely not escape his eyes. Catherine still trusted the professionals, maybe he would find something.

"Miss Edson, here's your lunch."

"Thanks."

The time has already reached noon before I know it, but looking at my manuscript paper, I have only written a little bit. The big title "fate/stay-night" may be the only result...

Catherine's lunch was beef burgers and Coca-Cola.

Although it is a simple fast food, Catherine's physique is very strange and she will not gain weight at all, so Catherine feels quite good.

"Oh, this is really troublesome..."

Catherine looked at the manuscript, then looked up again.

There is still no one suspicious.

Could it be that...the other party's target is not yourself?

Catherine became confused.
