Chapter 127: Take a Break

  When the lawyer's letter was sent to BCA company, it caused a stir of confusion.

  The BCA company had just completed its new production line and was in full production of the new type of television when Catherine's lawyer letter arrived.

  The entire "anti-Apple" alliance has fallen into a state of confusion.

  At this time, a representative of Sony Corporation suddenly thought of a way - to apply for an integrated circuit patent in the country!

  But the Japanese were unsuccessful because they found that this patent had been applied for long ago! And the registrant was still Catherine!

  Something so important Catherine would never forget, not only in Japan but also in Europe, Catherine has applied for all the patents.

  The EEC had just been established and not many countries had joined. So Catherine applied for her patent in each European country one by one, making sure that no country was left out!

  In this way, it is impossible for anyone to get around Catherine's patent!

  Even in the future, patents are still a bit hard to say.

  Where you want to maintain your patent, you must register your patent there.

  For example, if Catherine does not register a patent in the Philippines, then the Philippines can manufacture and use integrated circuits with impunity, and as long as the Philippines sells the integrated circuits to countries without patent protection (Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia...), then Catherine has no way to prohibit and claim compensation.

  Catherine's iron barrel-like patent wall makes them extremely headache. If they really sue Catherine and let her win, the mid-to-high-end TV market would have been monopolized by Catherine long ago.

  As a result, some companies have already hoped to contact Catherine and withdraw the lawsuit.

  But they suddenly found themselves unable to find each other!

  At this time, Catherine had gone to New Mexico.

  It was precisely because of Japan's invasion that Catherine suddenly thought of a good movie.

  The Banner of Our Fathers

  For those TV companies, Catherine wouldn't give up her revenge so easily, letting them hang and wait until they surrender, then she would appear again to teach them a lesson.

  "In the 60s and 70s, Japanese manufacturers defeated American manufacturers, establishing Japan's dominant position in the audio-visual industry that continues to this day. Since then, all high-tech industries have been invaded by the Japanese."

  So-called shearing sheep has not changed this point.

  Americans are still too arrogant.

  Catherine knew that if she retreated at this time, places similar to the game console market would likely be lost.

  So Catherine has decided to take him down, and she will absolutely show no mercy.

  The current work is being completed by Sanders.

  These should have been Sanders and Olson's jobs. The concept of a president was still novel, and this immature institution also made people like Sanders very unfamiliar, so many tasks still required Catherine to intervene.

  But now she has temporarily become a absentee boss.

  "Father's Flag" and "Letters from Iwo Jima" are the themes of Catherine's shoot this time.

  This script was written by Catherine long ago.

  The two scripts can be said to have little difference in their settings, so it is completely possible to use the same location.

  Of course, "Letters from Iwo Jima" needed Japanese actors, which was more troublesome, so Clint Eastwood simply filmed "Flags of Our Fathers" first.

  "Flags of Our Fathers" also tells about the Battle of Iwo Jima during World War II.

  It's now the mid-1960s, and most of those World War II veterans have truly become "fathers", so this name not only doesn't feel out of place, but is also more fitting.

  Sean Connery, Sylvester Stallone, Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman are the main actors this time.

  It can be said that except for Bruce Lee, all the big names under her have taken part in filming.

  Before filming Flags of Our Fathers, Catherine had Bruce bring in many employees from protection umbrella companies. Especially soldiers who had experienced the Pacific War and the Battle of Iwo Jima.

  Compared with "Wasteland" and "Red Alert", "Flag of Our Fathers" does not require that much investment.

  In order to be meticulous, Catherine even asked the employees in detail about the process of the Sulfur Island battle, then took out her own script and showed it to them one by one. Then, she handed the script over to several leading actors.

  It seems that these leading actors are quite satisfied with this script.

  Especially Eastwood.

  "This script is really good."

  This is his heartfelt feelings about this script.

  That's right, historically, the director of this film was Eastwood.

  First of all, it's been set up.

  In New Mexico, it's not too difficult to set up a battlefield similar to Iwo Jima.

  But Bo Jing still needs time, so Catherine simply moved the plot behind to the front for filming.

  "Good, now is Act I!"

  The movie "Rush to the Horse" has finally started filming.

  This is the scene where the main characters have just returned from the battlefield and are receiving various media promotions. Several of them will become famous in the future, such as Sean Connery and Eastwood, who are already old hands at this, so they passed this scene with just one take. However, to be on the safe side, Catherine still shot two more takes.

  Then comes the next act.

  The shooting of a film is actually fragmented, rather than continuous as seen in the cinema. That's just the effect of editing.

  Progress is very fast, and in one day, progress has far exceeded twice the expected amount.

  "Bang."

  Elsa set down a cup of steeping tea on the table, while Catherine took a light breath.

  "Ailsa, would you like to make a movie?" Catherine asked suddenly.

  "Make a movie?"

  Elsa looked at Catherine, but didn't know what to say.

  "I don't know, but I really like watching movies."

  Yes, Elsa's only hobby.

  "Why don't you give it a try too?"

  Catherine asked with interest, but Elsa shook her head.

  Although Elsa can usually keep a calm appearance, Catherine knows that this is the result of her training. In fact, Elsa belongs to the type with a very small temper. If Elsa were to act, she might be able to do it, but she's probably too scared to do so, being just a little girl about her own age.

  Just then, Catherine suddenly noticed a young man.

  He was diligently running around on set, but he wasn't George Lucas.

  "Call him over." Conveniently, Lucas was right next to her, so Catherine instructed him thus.

  Then the young man came over.

  "Hello, Miss Edson."

  He looks very polite.

  "Hello, you look very diligent." Catherine said.

  Perhaps the other person is not a famous figure, but Catherine still appreciates hardworking people, of course, on the premise that the other person is not stupid.

  "Thank you."

  "Are you a college student here on a part-time job?" Catherine asked.

  "Sorry, I originally wanted to go to Changchun Film Academy, but because of C's grades, I was never admitted, and then came here."

  The other person scratched his head in embarrassment.

  "Are you from the Eagle Army?"

  George Lucas looked at him and suddenly said this sentence.

  ……

  Guess who this young man is?
