Chapter 742: Catadrid: Wonder City
Catadrid, the second-largest city in the Sakura Abode Country, stands as a beacon of creativity and culture, known to the world as the 'Cinema Creative Capital of the World.' With a population exceeding 10 million, the city is home to an astounding number of artists, writers, filmmakers, actors, dancers, and musicians. In fact, one in every six residents works in the creative industry, making it an unparalleled hub for artistic expression. Its vibrant culture, modern infrastructure, and endless opportunities make it a dream destination for aspiring creators from all corners of the world.
At the heart of Catadrid's identity lies Newfall, a neighborhood that has become synonymous with the global film industry. Newfall isn't just a geographical location; it's a symbol of the birth and evolution of cinema itself. Often compared to Hollywood in Theo's previous life, Newfall is revered as the birthplace of modern filmmaking. It was here that the first film studios and production companies took root, setting the stage for an entertainment revolution that would sweep across the planet of Azure Star.
Catadrid, with its rich cinematic heritage, has given rise to almost every major film genre known today-comedy, drama, action, musical, romance, horror, science fiction, and war epics, to name a few. These genres, which began as experiments on the silver screens of Newfall, soon became the global standard, influencing filmmakers and storytellers across continents. The innovation and artistry of Newfall's filmmakers carved the path for future generations, making Catadrid not only the birthplace of cinema but also its perpetual innovator.
The city's importance to the entertainment industry extends beyond film. Catadrid is also the mainstay of the music industry in the Sakura Abode Country, which is why the prestigious Saphire Awards are hosted there. This award is one of the three major accolades awarded in the city, alongside the Ruby Award for television and the Alexandrite Award for films. The sheer volume and diversity of talent residing in Catadrid, from musicians to directors, further solidify its position as the creative epicenter of the country.
Catadrid, though frequently compared to Los Angeles from Theo's previous life in this story, has carved out its own distinctive identity. While it shares similarities with L.A. -its sprawling beaches, endless entertainment opportunities, and a reputation as the land of dreams-it surpasses its Earthly counterpart in many ways. For one, Catadrid is a more modern city, with sleek, futuristic architecture and cutting-edge infrastructure that seamlessly blends innovation with beauty. For example, the city has a far-reaching public transportation system with trains, subway, and buses. So, even though the city had so many citizens, it rarely registered any traffic jams. The city has been recognized as a global wonder, its skyline adorned with iconic landmarks and artistic structures that capture the spirit of creativity.
The city's geographic location along the coast only adds to its appeal. Its pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters attract not only tourists but also the local population, who take pride in their coastal paradise. The shimmering blue sea stretches endlessly toward the horizon, creating a natural contrast to the towering buildings and bustling streets. The beachfront, dotted with cafes, art installations, and open-air performances, becomes a gathering place for artists and enthusiasts alike.
But Catadrid isn't just a city of spectacle-it is a city with a soul. Despite its bustling entertainment districts and global fame, the city has managed to maintain a pleasant, ever- welcoming atmosphere. The weather, a perfect blend of warmth and cool breezes from the sea, contributes to the laid-back yet energetic vibe of the city. Whether it's a sun-soaked morning by the beach or a cool, starlit evening in one of Newfall's famous outdoor cinemas, the city offers an atmosphere that fosters creativity and inspiration.
The city's artistic charm extends into its architecture as well. Modern skyscrapers stand alongside historical buildings, their facades adorned with murals, sculptures, and other forms of public art. This juxtaposition of old and new gives Catadrid a unique character-one that is rooted in tradition yet constantly pushing the boundaries of creativity. Streets are often filled with pop-up art galleries, street performers, and spontaneous musical performances, creating an immersive cultural experience for anyone walking through the city. Competition for the title of the world's entertainment capital has always been fierce, especially with Oceanford City from the Bald Eagle Country vying for supremacy. Oceanford, with its own history of innovation in film and music, has been Catadrid's strongest competitor. However, Catadrid's deep historical roots in cinema and its global influence in setting trends have helped it stand tall. As the birthplace of cinema, Catadrid carries a legacy that no other city can rival. It continues to shape the future of film, television, and music with a bold vision that merges creativity with cutting-edge technology.
For many aspiring artists, moving to Catadrid is the ultimate dream. It's a place where creative minds from across the world come together, united by a shared desire to tell stories, create music, or capture moments that resonate with audiences everywhere. In Catadrid, art isn't just a career-it's a way of life. The city breathes inspiration, and every street corner holds the possibility of a breakthrough moment. This is why Catadrid remains a magnet for dreamers, a city where ambition meets opportunity, and where the next generation of artists is born every day.
From its iconic beaches to the bustling streets of Newfall, Catadrid stands as a testament to the power of art and creativity. Its rich history, unparalleled influence on the entertainment industry, and reputation as a city where dreams come true make it a global symbol of artistic excellence. A true wonder of the modern world, Catadrid is more than just a city-it's an ever- evolving masterpiece, a living canvas painted by the hands of those who dare to dream.
This was the city where Theo, Ayia, and Aurora would spend the weekend.
After the private plane stopped at the Yamada's private hangar, Theo and the girls finally were able to disembark from the plane.
As one of the most important cities of the Sakura Abode Country, the Yamada family had a permanent hangar at the city's airport. Which helped Theo and Aurora avoid the public.
The two of them wanted to avoid the public because now that they were in Catadrid, they had to be careful to not let their association with Moonlight and Tsukuyomi leak to the media.
Everyone wanted to know who the person behind the mask was, so Theo had to be extra careful for the next couple of days.
"Where are we going now?" Aurora asked as they waited for the employees to take their baggage out of the plane.
"Do you two see that blackout van there?" Ayia said as she pointed at a black van parked
nearby.
"Yeah, I see." Aurora replied.
"We'll take that van to the hotel where we'll be staying. The hotel is near the concert venue. But the two of you will put on your alias disguises on the van during the trip to the hotel because when we arrive at the hotel, there will be people waiting for Moonlight and Tsukuyomi and their agent." Ayia replied with an excited smile.
Theo and Aurora's eyes shone with excitement when they heard that.
"It seems like we'll have to assume our famous personas now, big brother," Aurora said with
an excited giggle.
