Chapter 41: Time Magazine and Catherine the Magical Girl
On August 12, 1961, construction of the Berlin Wall began. This is also a sign that the Cold War has begun to reach its peak.
However, this did not affect the introduction of Catherine's films into Europe and West Germany.
To be precise, Catherine's box office is pretty good.
Anyway, it's finally time for Catherine to flex his muscles, but at this time, Time magazine came up.
In the 21st century, Time Magazine can be said to be unknown to everyone.
After knowing this, Catherine became excited.
But soon, she calmed down.
And, she knew quickly, maybe, this is also an opportunity.
Catherine is not idle these days.
The acquisition of Barbie Company is very troublesome. I might as well build a toy factory. Even if I can’t open it anymore, I will get Transformers out.
Catherine plans that this factory will be a manufacturer of TRPG game war chess for herself.
is not just "Harry Potter", Catherine even considered some other games, these are things she is thinking about.
The rules of the popular version have been completed, and the basic characters and monsters have been built.
But so far, Catherine has designed only the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, plus the dungeons and the Forbidden Forest below.
But with experience, things are much easier to do, so the professional version is very simple.
By the way, there is GameTV.
GameTV is about to open a brand new market, everything is ready, Catherine's application company materials are also ready, there is only the last step left, and Time Weekly comes to interview myself, what a godsend opportunity!
So, on the eve of school, Catherine was interviewed.
The reporter who came over was a woman about 38 years old, and she seemed to be very friendly... Maybe people in Time magazine thought that a kind woman would better get in touch with children, right?
Anyway, this is how the interview began.
Of course, Emma is now with Catherine. After all, it’s not enough to have no guardian.
Speaking of Catherine's parents, they were also very surprised.
But compared to before, they can say that they have also developed some "immunity".
At the very beginning, it was when they accompanied Catherine to register a patent for integrated circuits.
Just imagine, when my ten-year-old daughter brags in front of her with high-tech patents that she doesn’t even understand, what would this look like to her parents?
Fortunately, Catherine has shown extraordinary maturity since she was a child. The earliest AP results have already illustrated this.
"Miss Kate, I checked a lot of your information before I came here. I found that you are a very magical girl, maybe as in your novel, you are a magical girl."
"The name Magical Girl seems to be good?"
Catherine joked with each other.
"In my investigation, you seem to have some very... peculiar patents in the Patent Office. Especially patents for integrated circuits. It is said that Texas Instruments and Fairchild nearly filed a lawsuit over this thing two years ago. But they discovered that this patent had already been registered. It seems that Fairchild had just been established at the time of registration. You were probably ten years old at that time?"
"Yes it is."
Catherine seemed to remember what happened at that time.
"Fairtong Company did come to me, but I temporarily authorize the use of this patent for free."
After all, although I have this patent, I can’t hide it, or I might become a criminal who delays historical progress. And Catherine herself hopes that she can play on the computer as soon as possible.
Although Fairchild felt incredible that a ten-year-old girl had a patent for an integrated circuit, Catherine’s free license helped them a lot.
Perhaps because of the lack of disputes with Texas Instruments, the history of the ten-year lawsuit does not appear to have occurred. In this way, the development of this company seems to be better than it was "once".
"Then I found out that you wrote a book of "Harry Potter". What was your original intention for writing an article about this book?"
"At that time, I was wondering whether this world is really as we imagined. Why do magic things never appear? So, I was imagining a world with magic, what it looks like. . And I also made a matching game for this book, and I am considering launching it in the future."
The other nodded.
"I also know this, it seems to be a TRPG type game? I heard that the Demo version of this game was given away with the hardcover version of "Prisoner of Azkaban"? Honestly, I am also a loyal reader of yours. "
Is the reporter in front of me a book fan?
Hey, this is really fun.
"Yes, I originally planned to launch this TRPG in September or earlier. But there may not be that time now."
""Blair the Witch" was shot really well."
"No, there is actually not much time to shoot that. I am mainly doing another thing."
"what?"
"GameTV!"
The highlight is coming.
Catherine asked the other person to follow herself to her room, and then Catherine took out the latest GameTV that she designed.
This is the finished version.
"This is it!"
"This……"
The other party didn't seem to understand ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Catherine turned on the TV, then connected the handle, and switched to the game mode. At this time, a colorful Emma cube game appeared in front of the screen.
"This is a video game. In my opinion, the future direction of our entertainment is to continue to move in the virtual direction. From such video games to realistic games, we can do anything without leaving home! "
"Sounds... really good."
What is a video game?
Even the Americans in the 1960s did not know what this was.
Anyway, Catherine successfully attracted the attention of the other party. When the interview was over, Catherine knew that she had succeeded.
But then, Catherine did not focus on GameTV. After all, the production of GameTV requires a lot of investment. She just decided to build a company first, and then plan everything...When it is actually put into production, at least it will be next year. On the contrary, the development of TRPG is much simpler.
Catherine temporarily set her sights on "Harry Potter".
Even the name of the toy company is called "Hogwarts".
This is the current focus, and Catherine is now the main "strategy" part.
seems to be for the occasion, and the headline of Time magazine’s interview with Catherine is also very happy.
"Magic Girl Catherine?"
Catherine is really embarrassed.
But then again, this seems to be said by yourself?
……
As a person with a little research habit, I said that all historical data have been carefully checked.
