Chapter 339 Ghost in the Shell!

After replaying the game, Catherine once again set her sights on the GPU.

There is no doubt that the production of gpu is necessary.

However, you should not be anxious about this matter. At least until the Thunder graphics card comes out, it will be useless no matter how anxious you are. After the Thunder graphics card is really completed, the mass production of your Pentium computer can be put on the agenda.

So at this time, Catherine shifted her attention again-what kind of film should she make better?

"Elsa, what movie do you prefer to watch?"

Catherine decided to ask Elsa for help.

"A movie... I don't actually have too many requirements for this. I guess... I just need the plot to be reasonable and the story to have a little depth, right? I think the movies are all pretty good." But looking at Catherine, she was confused.

With a tangled look, Elsa continued: "If you want to say it, I probably prefer science fiction. "Wasteland" is good, and "Red Alert" is also okay."

"Science fiction..."

Catherine thought for a moment.

“What if ‘The Matrix’ was made?”

Elsa looked at Catherine with strange eyes.

Catherine shrugged. "The Matrix" does seem to be a bit ahead of its time. If she really chooses to film "The Matrix", the fate that awaits her will most likely be failure.

The Matrix…The Matrix…

Ghost in the Shell!

Catherine suddenly thought of something.

"Ghost in the Shell", would it be feasible to film this film?

It can be said that the original "The Matrix" was also inspired by "Ghost in the Shell". In the original history, more than one key idea of ​​"The Matrix" was adapted from the plot of "Ghost in the Shell".

Even the way the subtitles pop up at the beginning is exactly the same as in "Ghost in the Shell".

So, why don’t you take this photo yourself?

Catherine thought her idea was a good one.

"Ghost in the Shell" tells the story of what happened after the Fourth World War.

In 1999, frictions between the European Community and Asian countries, especially China, South Korea, and Japan, intensified.

On the other side, Europe and the United States are fighting the Third World War, and both sides are exhausted on the battlefield. At this time, East Asia has accumulated a lot of wealth because there is no war, and has almost become the only beneficiary of the war. This kind of injustice

The balance also made Asia unknowingly the enemy of the world. The European Community and the United States formed an alliance and declared war on Asia.

China's participation at the last moment brought this tug of war to Asia's victory. Although both sides were careful to avoid the re-use of nuclear weapons on the battlefield, they did their best to deploy all conventional weapons, electronic brains, cybcom and other new technologies.

They were also boldly put into actual combat, which plunged the war into a stalemate for a long time. In the end, the quagmire of the war swallowed up both sides, and no one was able to survive. In the 1960s, the United States had experienced this in Vietnam, so

,The Fourth World War is also called the "Second Vietnam War".

——Of course, the First Vietnam War is not over yet.

The new technologies used at this time - electronic brains, cybcom, etc., are one of the themes of the story.

Catherine thinks this "electronic brain" is a good thing.

The so-called electronic brain is to inject micromachines into the brain, combine the micromachines with the brain nerves, and connect them to the external socket. In this way, a person's brain can be turned into an electronic brain.

The purpose of the electronic brain is to cope with the transmission of large amounts of information. At the same time, it can be connected to the sea of ​​information - the Internet, and has functions such as communication with mobile phones and recording and recording with cameras.

In a sense, this kind of electronic brain and network is the predecessor of the matrix in "The Matrix" - "The Matrix" also borrowed from "Ghost in the Shell".

Moreover, "Ghost in the Shell" does not require as many special effects as "The Matrix", so it can be produced more cost-effectively.

"I have decided that the new script is Ghost in the Shell!"

Catherine's confident look made Elsa strange.

"Ghost in the Shell...Mobile Team?"

"Yeah, that's it."

In its original history, "Ghost in the Shell" was a comic serialized by Masamune Shirow in the pirate version of the monthly youth magazine "young-magazine" on April 22, 1989. It was published every three months, and the last twelve chapters were completed.

The first part, and officially started the serialization of the second part. On October 5, 1991, the single volume of the comic was printed and released for the first time at a high price of one thousand yen (compared to other comics of the same period).

This novel not only caused a huge response in Japan, but also - otherwise there would not be the original historical Wachowski brothers' "The Matrix".

In "Ghost in the Shell", the protagonist's name is "Motoko Kusanagi". She is a person who has all other parts of her body transformed into prosthetics except part of her brain and spinal cord. She is one of the first batch of full-body prosthetic users.

——The so-called prosthetic body is a prosthetic limb. But unlike ordinary prosthetic limbs, the prosthetic bodies in "Ghost in the Shell" can almost be fake or real. They are very powerful things, which can almost be said to be the dream of mankind.

Artificial prostheses that can replace human limbs.

But there is another problem. The original place where "Ghost in the Shell" took place was Japan, and the country where Catherine is now located is the United States.

Therefore, the plot must be significantly modified, and some very Japanese things must be removed, and then some things with "American characteristics" must be added. Only in this way can this film become a "popular favorite" after it is filmed.

” video.

To be honest, Catherine can no longer remember the plot of "Ghost in the Shell", but as long as she remembers the setting, it's almost enough. As for the plot - for Catherine, this is simply a piece of cake.

What Catherine needs now is an idea. With creativity, everything else will be easier to handle.

After thinking for a while, Catherine began to write.

It would definitely not work to put a protagonist like Motoko Kusanagi in an American blockbuster, so Catherine had to change the identity of the heroine.

Americans all have an American dream, but using an ordinary protagonist would be meaningless.

Then Catherine had some thoughts.

So the identity of the nv protagonist was changed.

In Catherine's version, the female protagonist Alice was originally the daughter of a certain company boss. She had practiced various martial arts and had a PhD in biology. She was one of the rare people who refused and rejected "electronic brainization".

Then she witnessed a big conspiracy in an accident, and she was also discovered. But the nv protagonist was discovered at this time, so she was caught, and then she was forcibly electronically encephalized, and her brain

It was formatted, then turned into a prosthetic love doll, and sold to Japan.

——In this story, the United States has been reduced from the world's largest country to the world's factory, specializing in providing various cheap products to East Asia.

From then on, Alice lost her human identity and became a commodity.

After being played with as a doll for a while, something suddenly went wrong with the doll. The owner thought the doll was overused, so he abandoned it. Then she was given to an American wage earner who came to Japan to start a business and try to get rich.

I picked it up and repaired it a little.

——This American migrant worker and wage earner is the male protagonist. Catherine gave him the name "Obama", and he also has a Japanese name "Listen to the waves. Watch the sea". At this time, Alice's brain is

She suddenly reacted, and then she restored her memory and personality before being formatted...

The story also begins at this time.

Obama is an American migrant worker who has been in Japan for more than a year. However, his memory is very confusing and he often becomes violent, so his journey to work in Japan is not smooth.

After picking up the doll, Obama suddenly found that his life began to become strange, and he himself began to show some abilities...

Writing this, Catherine suddenly felt that it seemed a little too procrastinating, and she decisively turned the heroine's experience into black history.

After all, this is a movie, not a TV series, and the plot lasts for at most two or three hours. This time does not give you the opportunity to tell so many stories. If you insist on cramming an excessive amount of plot into the limited time, then this movie

The movie will definitely become fragmented in the end, which is definitely not okay.

The second male protagonist in the film is Clinton, who is Obama's good friend.

Clinton first discovered the abnormality of the doll, and then the two finally restored Alice, and together the three of them uncovered the company behind the scenes. At this time, the actor's abilities also began to strengthen, and he became a

A powerful person.

Finally, the mastermind behind the scenes was found out, and the story ended.

The man behind the scenes - Catherine originally wanted to position it as "ark", but after thinking about it, Catherine named the company JCN - which is the combination of the last three letters of IBM.

Originally, according to Catherine's thinking, a tragic ending would be the best, but when a tragedy suddenly occurred, it would definitely be a drug dealer. After careful consideration, Catherine decided to give the story an open ending. In this case, it would also

Can prepare for the sequel.

If there is a sequel, Catherine plans to write down the hero's previous experiences.

"Well...such a plot..."

Catherine felt something wasn't quite right.

“Part 2 of ghost-in-the-shell.”

Catherine decisively postponed this plot.

At this time, the power of Obama and Clinton should be shown first. This is the mainstream of American blockbusters! So Catherine decided to write about Obama’s life experience first, and then write the plot as a prequel...
