Chapter 252: Twelve people
Subtitle of this chapter: Role-playing movies and games
"As the main creator of the movie "Twelve People", Mr. Yuan Yanshu adopted a very creative writing method, which he himself named 'roleplaying'. Later, this writing method was applied to the tabletop game by Mr. Yuan, so there was a roleplaying game..."
"The first role-playing game is "thelegendofswordman 3" written by Mr. Yuan Yanshu himself. As for why the third part, it is said that Mr. Yuan has two trial versions before this. This is a pure Chinese tabletop game with the story background in 745 AD, that is, the fourth year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty. In August of this year, Yang Yuhuan was officially named Yang Guifei, and began her ten-year favored career. It was also in this year that An Lushan was ordered to come to the court to see the saint. The prosperity of Chang'an once again stirred up the fire of ambition in his heart.
But the Tiance Mansion brought him endless shock. He never thought that the Tang Dynasty would have such a strong army. In order to achieve his goal, An Lushan persuaded Yang Guozhong to support the Shence Army to suppress Tiance, and began to secretly prepare his own army - the Wolf-fang Army. At the same time, it was also shocking An Lushan. He also saw the famous sword conference of the Zangjian Villa and knew that if he wanted to truly enter the Central Plains, he would have to solve the major concerns of the Central Plains martial arts forces. At this time, a mysterious man walked into An Lushan's camp..."
"This game not only succeeded in China, the hometown of Mr. Yuan, but also was highly popular among Western gamers. On this basis, the Coast Wizard Game Company, a subsidiary of SCP magazine, has developed a tabletop game with a Western background, that is, "Song of Ice and Fire" adapted from the novel of the same name, also known as "Dragon and Great Wall"..."

"Will anyone sign up voluntarily next?"
"Mr. Yuan, this is so incest. I signed up to participate..."
Before our Master Yuan finished speaking, Mr. Fitzgerald raised his hand high. This man is only 24 years old and has a personality that is like a person who loves to show off. When he sees such a novel and interesting thing, he will naturally respond immediately.
"Mr. Fitzgerald...well, it should be Juror No. 3, tell us what kind of person you are."
The young writer said excitedly: "I am an advertising company employee..."
Oh, this is an interesting coincidence. He did work in the advertising industry for a while, and the earliest 1957 version of "The Twelve Angry Man" did have a very good-looking and somewhat flashy young advertiser. (Author's note: "The Twelve Angry Man" has another TV series version before this.)
He continued, "Well, I shouldn't be married yet..."
Yuan Yanshu said, "So you are in a hurry to go to tonight's date now, are you?"
Mr. Fitzgerald was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized: "Yes, I did have a date tonight, and I was with a beautiful girl. So..."
He glanced at the beautiful "defendant" thoughtfully and said, "Then I don't care whether the defendant is guilty, so I just want to end the discussion soon."
Look, this is a genius writer. As long as I give you a little tip, I can figure out a complete character.
"Judge Perfect! No. 3, please come to the seat."
Just as the young writer took his seat, a female voice rang.
"Mr. Yuan, I think there should be a female juror!"
Master Yuan looked closely and saw that the person who spoke was indeed Ms. Viaen Kath. She, a feminist, made such a request very naturally.
The 19th Amendment to the Constitution in 1920 was passed, which wrote that women had the right to vote in politics into the Constitution, marking a breakthrough success of the feminist movement and a major milestone in the American feminist movement. Of course, after giving women full suffrage, the issue of female jurors has caused nationwide discussion. It seems that the famous female writer also wanted to add a political topic to The Twelve People.
"That..." As a master of neoclassical liberalism, Yuan Yanshu must support feminism. However, as a screenwriter, he also needs to consider the acceptance of the public. The topic of female jurors is too sensitive. The United States in 1920 was too conservative. He remembered that even New York State did not become a juror until 1937, and allowed women to exempt themselves from their juror responsibilities only using the excuse of being a woman.
So he had to refuse in an apology tone: "Ms. Kathle, personally, I fully support women as jurors. But this is a... Well, a realistic movie. It would be too unrealistic to have women in the jury in New York City this year. Why not..."
He had a sudden inspiration and said, "Why don't you simulate a male character?"
Ms. Katha's eyes rolled and she said happily: "Okay, then I'm a big bastard who discriminates against women..."
"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed kindly.
"I should still be a devout Christian!" The female writer who suddenly became aggressive pointed at the pitiful female star, saying: "Such a charming woman is a bitch sent by the devil to lure men into committing crimes, so of course she is guilty. We are also guilty!"
"Baoba..." Literary young women like Miss Helen Brown and Miss Emma Pulitzer applauded enthusiastically.
"Then, then, that's OK." Our Master Yuan wiped the cold sweat from his head and said, "Judge No. 4 has."
Then he saw another woman raise her hand: "Emma, are you going to play a male juror too?"
Miss Pulitzer smiled and pointed at her father, "No, I signed up for Mr. Pulitzer."
"Nothing!" The editor-in-chief of Le Monde said a little dissatisfied.
Her daughter said indifferently: "Dad, what's the matter? Mr. Brown can be a juror, so can you be a juror. Do you think so?"
"That's right, right!" How could Master Yuan miss such an opportunity? This is the boss and editor-in-chief of the four major newspapers in New York. If you can bring it in, the promotion of this film will be icing on the cake.
He hurried to Mr. Pulitzer and said, "Our juror No. 5 is a...well, sir, who are you?"
The editor-in-chief said helplessly: "Then I'll be an ordinary office worker. By the way, I have a beautiful and cute little daughter who gives me a headache!"
"Hahaha..." Yuan Yanshu laughed with everyone, "So do you think the defendant is guilty?"
Mr. Pulitzer shrugged and said indifferently: "I don't know, maybe there may be or not."
"Please sit down, Juror No. 5." Master Yuan turned around and said to everyone, "Okay, plus my words, half of our jury will be together!"
