"Please come in."

Following Catherine's voice, Qin Lang opened the door and walked in.

"Miss Edson."

"What's the matter?" Catherine has no racial prejudice. If you have the ability, go up, and if you don't have the ability, go down. This is Catherine's criterion for hiring people. Qin Lang's writing style is relatively delicate. Catherine feels that compared to the roughness of Europeans and Americans, if he can

It would be good to have some such delicate people to mediate it.[]

"It's like this. When we were discussing the plot of "Mass Effect", we encountered some problems..."

"Um?"

"It's like this. Some of us want to expand the main plot, slightly extend the main story and make some modifications."

"Oh." Catherine thought for a moment: "If you want to add a story, you can put the story in an additional story. As for the main plot, I designed the plots to be closely linked. I don't think it is easy to add them.

What extra plot... If someone wants to join the plot, it's not impossible, just ask him to give me the plot information he plans to add."

Catherine's plot has been designed and cannot be modified.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there may be someone with active thinking among them.

It created a plot that was the finishing touch.

Europeans and Americans, especially the more educated and elite classes, are more active. They have outstanding abilities and are good at expressing themselves, so Catherine is not afraid of plots being buried.

"Oh...right." Catherine suddenly thought of something: "I don't think I have designated a person in charge, right?"

"Yes...but we have already discussed it privately." Qin Lang said, "Everyone is ready to let me take charge of this matter."

"……oh?"

Compared with expressing themselves, in fact many Americans do not like to be managers, but it is really surprising to elect a yellow person.

"Well, that's it. If I have anything to do in the future, I'll tell you directly."

"OK."

There was nothing else to do next, so Qin Lang left quickly.

"It doesn't look like things are going well?" Elsa next to her placed the brewed black tea in front of Catherine and put some ice cubes in it. Catherine had never tried tea with ice cubes before, so she wanted to try something new this time.

"There will be opportunities in the future, just take your time... They are still in the running-in period. I think it will take about a week or two before they can fully cooperate. The first novel may take a slower time, but when they fully become

It will be great once you have a good group.”

- In the future, the works of these people will be published in the form of groups - of course.

Catherine will also sign.

So for these people, they are not actually full ghostwriters.

If possible, they can also create their own miracles.

However, the name of this group or combination, studio, has not yet been determined. Catherine completely let them do this on their own. But in fact, these people's movements were faster than Catherine imagined.

Within a few days, they handed over their revised script and their improved preliminary design draft to Catherine.

One of Catherine's ideas is to turn "Mass Effect" into a battle flag game, using d2d rules.

And since we are building a huge world, necessary settings are still necessary.

Whether the number of works derived from this setting is large is one of Catherine's criteria for verifying the popularity of this product.

"Dragonlance" is very famous, Cui Ye from "The Dark Elf Trilogy" is also popular, and "A Song of Ice and Fire" is also a classic, but they all cannot escape the constraints of the three letters "dnd".

"Mass Effect" is one of Catherine's promotional tools, but what Kaiolin really wants is to expand her most basic influence.

This is the key.

Not long after reading the script, Catherine discovered that these people really like to think divergently, and even many scenes from "Star Trek" were used.

"There is no warp engine here..." Kai Shenlian complained.

The so-called warp drive is what is used to explore space in "Star Trek".

And compared to "Mass Effect" which is limited to the Milky Way, the setting of "Star Trek" is a more grand cosmic space... It's just that "Star Trek" doesn't explain anything like values. As for the two movies that have been broadcast so far,

For Ji, this is just to satisfy people's curiosity.

Just reason.

Speaking of which, in Catherine's opinion, the most successful works are those that can torture readers to death but make them want to stop.

Uh... Speaking of which, isn't this a Qiong Yao drama?

Catherine shook her head, what she imagined was definitely not like that!!!

"The idea is pretty good, but... it's too messy." This was Catherine's opinion on the other party's modifications.

"Because everyone has their own style..." Qin Lang on the opposite side argued.

"Well, you should first write a plot according to my original outline. It will be about one-tenth of the content of the first part."

Caitlin said this.

"OK."

Like the game, Catherine divided her work into three parts.

"Let me see how your stories are first, and let you get used to it for a while and gradually become familiar with it. Then I can see your level and what you can do."

Group writing is different from one person. It is a way of working that requires collaboration between groups, and the requirements for single-person writing are completely different.

"If you want to write these plots, that's fine. Then make these plots independent chapters, and then show them to me. If I think they are suitable, I will let you add them."

"clear."

"I'll give you a month." Catherine said this and dismissed the other party again.

The people across from me are not new writers, they are all veterans around thirty years old, and they are very skilled in writing skills, so they will know something just by telling them.

In fact, there are novels in the original world of "Mass Effect", but that kind of novel and the novel that Catherine wants are basically two different things.

Although Catherine's ideas are good, just like in "The Matrix", Catherine's evil thoughts are still vividly displayed in "Mass Effect".

The most annoying thing is the ending.

According to Catherine's idea, the protagonist chooses the "green light ending" that merges organic and inorganic bodies, which is the orthodox ending-this is Cather's

What Lin calls "enlightenment".

According to Catherine's outline, Farewell will describe the "civilization" of the first boss, Saren, in the first part. The final stage of "civilization" is to implant the reaper into the host.

The Reaper combines quantum entangled communication particles with nanotechnology. Once implanted into the host, it will quickly self-organize and self-replicate in particle units. It will rebuild tendons, blood vessels, and nerves in the host's body, and eventually completely integrate with the host's body and spirit.

Elevate the host to the pinnacle of evolution - "no longer a messy pile of organic matter".

In the novel, anyone can be educated indiscriminately - as long as they come into contact with the Reaper's technology, such a thing will happen.

At the beginning of the second part, Miss Shepard will be thrown into space due to an accident, and then be rescued and undergo machine transformation - because except for the brain, Miss Shepard's internal organs have all been necrotic.

.

And these technologies use Reaper technology...

This also echoes the ending of Green Light. Every step of the organic host, every drop of sweat, and even every thought are transparent in front of the fused inorganic body - "just some obvious chemical reactions" - they

You can observe, truncate, and modify easily.

At the end of the education, all human beings have become slaves of machines, and the reapers have completed this harvest and are waiting for the beginning of the next reincarnation...

...Well, Catherine also knows that although this kind of plot is good, if it is regarded as the orthodox ending, it would be too cheating.

At least in the eyes of Americans with upright views, I will definitely be criticized.

So for this ending, Catherine explained it euphemistically, just like the game, and finally the joke of the Normandy

Surviving a catastrophe, and then getting off the spaceship to look at this new world, and - "eyes glowing with blue light" - is considered to have been "educated".

As for the real orthodox ending, it is Red Light. Shepard kills the Reaper at a huge cost.

To be honest, Catherine really doesn't like this kind of brilliant plot.

There is no way, looking at the history of American movies and novels, most of them have such endings.

But the reason for such an ending is very simple. It is because Americans like this kind of ending and want to create something special, which is just a small number of literary and artistic directors and Zhu directors. Oh, maybe horror film directors can also be counted.

…

All in all, it is rare for Catherine to see a scenario in which humans cannot defeat aliens, but are instead ruled by aliens.

In American movies and novels, aliens are either mentally retarded or 2b, and "Battleship" is a typical representative of 2b; the aliens in "War of the Worlds" can actually be wiped out by germs on the earth; and "Independence Day" is even more deceiving

, a computer virus actually saved the world...

Catherine wanted to end with a green light, but she actually wanted to offend the readers' emotions.

But on this point, Catherine also envies these Americans. No matter what the reality is, they always seem to have more "correct views". At least they don't have anything similar to the notorious scar literature - at least

This kind of thing is not famous.

"It's a pity. If only I could come up with a crueler story..."

Catherine prefers the ending of "The Three-Body Problem". The heroine destroyed the universe and then took away several kilograms of matter in the universe, making it impossible for the universe to be reborn, and the world was completely destroyed and lonely.

…

Well, I have to work on the hydraulic transmission tomorrow, and there will be another update tomorrow night...
