Chapter 253: Twelve People

Subtitle of this chapter: The blinding lineup of screenwriters

"After the classic science fiction novel "This Man from the Crypt" was released in the 1930s, it caused great controversy, so that Pope Pius XI at that time protested to the US government, demanding the ban on the destruction of the novel. Christians from all over the United States even spontaneously purchased the SCP magazine that published the novel and burned it in public. A large number of protest letters and intimidation letters were sent to the headquarters of the magazine, and demonstrators gathered around the headquarters day and night to continue protesting..."

"Mr. Howard Philip Lovecraft, the editor-in-chief of SCP magazine, suffered countless personal threats. He had to go to Asia for a long vacation to avoid the limelight. During this trip, he went to the snowy plateau. On the way, he not only took many first-hand notes, but also took a large number of precious video materials. These materials and images eventually became travel notes and documentaries of the same name: Shangri-La: Hell on Earth..."

"By the way, the pseudonym of this author is 'This man comes from the future'. Although Mr. Lovecraft and the SCP magazine did not disclose who the real author of this novel was from beginning to end, many people at that time speculated that it was Mr. Yuan Yanshu. But he himself denied..."

"One of the consequences of this incident triggered a famous lawsuit in American history, "Scp" vs. New York State Government, also known as the "First Atheism Case". At that time, under pressure from the religious community, the New York State Government banned the magazine "Scp", which filed a constitutional lawsuit in the federal court. In fact, the United States' constitutional lawsuit only belongs to the parties, but since the United States is a common law country, as long as there is such a precedent, it means the victory of the atheists..."

"The Supreme Court invoked Article 1 of the U.S. Constitutional Amendment: "Congress shall not enact laws on the following matters: establishing state religion or prohibiting freedom of religion; depriving freedom of speech or freedom of publication; or depriving people of the right to gather peacefully and petition the government for justice." The judgment of the SCP magazine won. From then on, the American atheists rose sharply..."

"Although the SCP magazine won a judicial victory, due to the strong resistance of religious forces, the magazine was finally acquired by the World Women's Group and was divided into two parts, namely "Sciencefiction World" and "Fantancy World"..."

——Excerpt from "Records of American Judicial Cases"

Of course, our Master Yuan knew in 1920... Well, before the Civil Rights Movement, we could not make movies like "This Man from the Crypt" anyway, unless he didn't want to become a neoclassical liberal master in America. In fact, even if he wanted to shoot, there wouldn't be a few people who would follow him to make a fool of himself. Even if he did, there would be no place to be released, so he had to have a "Twelve People".

"Judge No. 7...that must be yours."

ts-Mr. Elliot smiled bitterly and nodded, "Okay, I'm just a bank employee."

Yuan Yanshu was certainly clear about the reason why his wry smiled. The affair of his wife hit the pain in his great poet's heart. However, how could the future world poet leader be missing among the screenwriters of "The Twelve People", and Elliot himself was also a playwright, and later wrote many scripts. His publication of "The Murder of the Cathedral" in 1935 caused a strong response in the British literary world, and many important playwrights followed suit. This made the British poetry drama reappear for more than ten years.

"Thank you, Juror No. 7. So what do you think of this case?"

The great poet with a little green on his head smiled bitterly again, "Sincere."

“Welcome to our Juror No. 7!”

Yuan Yanshu looked at the master Ai Craftsman this time and said, "Howard, you should be the No. 8 juror."

"Yes." The master of horror novels readily agreed. He probably had already thought of his own character and immediately asked, "Neo, can I be a professor of astronomy and a single-minded professor of astronomy?"

Master Yuan thought to himself that this guy has never forgotten his childhood ideal.

"Of course it's okay, so what do you think, Mr. Single-minded Astronomy Professor?"

The adult Ai Craftsman said without hesitation: "I am guilty."

Our craftsmanship also had a little bit of hatred in addition to racists on that timeline until he met the Jewish elder sister.

Yuan Yan suddenly realized a problem. It seemed that she had to find a wife for this little brother, otherwise the psychological problem would affect his "service life". After finally accepting such an obedient little brother, she might not necessarily sit back and watch as the adult Ai Craftsmanship die young as the original timeline.

"Come on, Jurcer No. 9, Mr. Deweet Wallace. What is your profession?"

The editor-in-chief of "Window of the World" is still very happy to participate in such a game. He said enthusiastically: "Can I be a travel salesman for the encyclopedia?"

Our Master Yuan smiled and said, "Not bad, this profession is suitable for you. Are you guilty or not?"

Mr. Wallace glanced at his beloved wife beside him, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Sincere."

"Mr. Big Reporter, you are Juror No. 10."

Mr. Sanders also had no intention of shirking at all and said happily: "Thank you, Mr. Yuan. I am the fire brigade captain. I think the defendant is guilty."

I didn't expect this guy to be a hero in his heart. That's right, Superman and Spider-Man among the superheroes both use the identity of a reporter to protect themselves.

There are still two shortfalls now, so the fat water will not flow to outsiders.

Yuan Yan suddenly pointed to Miss Helen Brown and Emma Pulitzer's small streets: "You two gentlemen are Jurors No. 11 and Jurors No. 12."

Two 'beautiful' gentlemen stood up.

"What do you two want to be?"

Miss Brown rushed to say, "I want to be a seaman."

Miss Pulitzer said, "I want to be the owner of a photo shop."

"Okay, not guilty or guilty?"

The two girls looked at each other and said in unison: "I'm guilty!"

Sure enough... women just like to make things difficult for women, especially beautiful women.

Our Master Yuan looked at the jury of eleven people and felt quite proud. Including himself and Miss Brown, there were seven writers who would be famous even if they were not famous now, two journalists, two editors and a publishing house president.

If you can get these people together, it’s like those films with the word “creative”. No matter how bad it is, it doesn’t matter.
