Chapter 129 Continue Shooting
The next day, filming of Flags of Our Fathers continued.
The film's audience, Catherine focuses on those who came from World War II and those who followed the anti-war crowd.
This is a bit different from the 21st century. At that time, it had been more than 60 years since World War II, and no matter how much resonance it could evoke, it was impossible, so the box office at that time was only 30 million, but now it's completely different.
World War II had just ended and people were extremely worried about the possibility of a nuclear war at any time.
If it weren't for Khrushchev's concessions, perhaps the Cuban missiles would have been launched, and now this world would have really become a "wasteland".
At such a time, it's impossible for one's own movie not to take in high box office earnings.
Catherine carries such confidence.
Of course, she didn't forget her original intention of taking pictures, and now she has been paying attention to the TV market.
It seems those guys were indeed busy running around in circles.
Especially when the media disclosed this news.
"Genius girl sues multiple electrical appliance companies."
This is one of the most widely used phrases in newspapers.
The integrated circuit is Catherine's personal patent. To put it bluntly, even if Intel were to be taken away, as long as Catherine still holds this patent in her hands, Intel will not be able to develop.
And besides, patent protection will last for a long time, Catherine has that time, enough to make a comeback.
"I'll see how you handle this"
At lunchtime, Catherine couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What?"
Elsa was listening on the side.
Nothing, I just thought of some interesting things.
Catherine smiled and cut the fully cooked beef on the table into eight pieces, then took a bite.
"I still think beef should be eaten well done."
Catherine loved eating beef, especially the texture of beef, which really opened her appetite. However, when facing those bloody three-point and five-point cooked beef, she couldn't swallow it at all.
"What's the difference?" Elsie seemed not to mind this, though it probably had something to do with her rarely eating beef.
"Of course there is a difference!"
Catherine took a sip of red wine.
"Beef should be cooked to at least medium-rare, well-done is the best. What's with this three-quarters done or five-quarters done nonsense?!" Catherine said matter-of-factly: "And if you're going to eat meat, it's essential to have vegetables and fruits on the side. It's great for your skin."
Catherine said, and touched her own cheek.
This little face is perfect, even without makeup, it will give people a bright feeling.
Elsa nodded as if she understood but didn't really understand.
"Honestly, Elsa, don't you really want to act?"
Elsa shook her head.
"Maybe... Aida will like it?"
Catherine shrugged.
Aida is indeed good, but unfortunately, Catherine does not want her to take leave during the start of school to film.
Sipping her wine, Catherine saw Sean Connery deep in conversation with Morgan Freeman.
The use of blacks on the battlefield was also a consideration for Catherine.
There were black soldiers in history and quite a few, but at that time the mainstream media in the United States were very evasive about this issue, so there were few reports of African Americans serving in the military.
In fact, during World War II, blacks not only participated in the army and navy but also had pilots. Especially after the Pearl Harbor incident, blacks truly began to enter the front-line troops, and from then on, they could be seen everywhere in subsequent US military battles. Unfortunately, even though it's been twenty years since World War II ended, there is very little data that can be found now. What Catherine is doing now is actually restoring history.
As for another leading actor, Eastwood. He didn't have any scenes today, so he went back to direct "Radiation".
"Alright, it's about time."
Catherine glanced at her watch and then the afternoon shoot began.
Because it's a war movie, there are all sorts of explosions, which is absolutely indispensable.
In addition, to save expenses, Catherine set up cameras in multiple locations and prepared to shoot some scenes of "Sulfur Island Family Letter" as well. Thanks to the good weather today, the shooting effect seems to be very good, and Catherine is quite satisfied.
By the time the sun had set, more than half of the filming had been completed.
"A perfect day."
Catherine commented on today's performance.
Just as Catherine was packing up, she suddenly found that the scene of the radiation was still brightly lit.
Catherine was somewhat curious, had there been some other problem with the shoot?
She walked over, only to find that it was Bruce Lee and the crew who were discussing the script, or rather, they were at an impasse.
"...but if we really have to do it this way, we'll be very tight on time." The crew members shook their heads.
It's obvious that Bruce Lee had some opinions about the script again.
Bruce Lee acted very hard.
However, his stubbornness also gave the crew a headache. In Catherine's view, Bruce Lee's demands on the script and film were even more stringent than her own, as if he was pursuing perfection in every detail.
Especially in persistence on the script.
"We make movies by fully immersing ourselves in them, and then letting the audience see another world. If we 'make do', what's the difference between such a movie and a stage play?!"
It's no wonder she studied philosophy, her words sounded pretty good, but Catherine was getting a headache.
If Bruce Lee were to direct a movie, Catherine guessed that he would be the "Chinese version" of James Cameron, the "on-set tyrant".
Catherine remembered that there was only one person who could possibly deal with Bruce Lee.
Zou Wenhui
Catherine remembers that Bruce Lee and Hong Kong's film company Golden Harvest had so many collaborations, all because of Chou Wen-hua's introduction.
But... what a joke! Are you kidding me? Do I have to go to Hong Kong myself to dig people up?
There have been very few superstars like Bruce Lee in history, and Catherine felt a bit overwhelmed.
Fortunately, Bruce Lee's dispute with the other party ended quickly. It seems that both sides have taken a step back.
However, they did not prepare to turn off the lights and leave, but continued to set up the scene.
It seems they still plan on continuing filming.
In this regard, Catherine is very fond of Bruce Lee.
People who are so dedicated to their work are becoming increasingly rare in today's America - it's not an exaggeration to describe the current state of affairs as "the world is getting worse by the day".
Catherine thought, maybe she should go take a look at the master tape of "Fallout 2".
"Radiation 1", Catherine is quite satisfied, as for the second part, the main character is Jane Fonda - a famous actress known for her sex appeal.
