Chapter Seventy Electronic Era

  "Hello, Mr. Clinton." This was Catherine's first time meeting him.

  "Hello, Miss Edson."

  Eastwood was an old hand, only he had been frustrated in Hollywood for so long that when he received the invitation from Catherine, he immediately agreed and soon arrived in New Mexico.

  He has already taken Catherine's script.

  Actually, it's quite good based on the adapted plot.

  Catherine also wanted to adapt the Harry Potter series, but in Catherine's view, today's technical standards seem to be far from meeting the requirements.

  "What's your take on the script?" Catherine asked.

  "The script is good, but compared to a TV series, the cost seems a bit high."

  Since he's going to be a director himself, Eastwood naturally also has some views of his own.

  Catherine nodded.

  "That's right. But I've already shot a film before, and I think we can 'recycle' it."

  Eastwood shook his head unexpectedly.

  "It may not be possible because the scenes that need to be portrayed in a TV series are much larger than those in a movie. I have an idea, maybe we can use models."

  "Model?"

  "Yes, I got inspiration from your war chess series. And many people have used it before. I understand you strive for realism. For some scenes, we can use the bird's-eye view method to present and then transition to the main character's location, so the audience will get a false impression that the main character is already in this place, when in fact everything was done in the studio."

  Catherine nodded, his suggestion was not bad.

  "So, I think our first TV series can start shooting now?"

  The other party nodded.

  Eastwood knew he had passed a small test.

  In the film, Eastwood plays a member of an underground bunker that is set to open in hundreds of years but because the water purification system has failed, the bunker's manager sends Eastwood out into the wasteland to find parts at another abandoned shelter.

  The shelter just uses the one where a movie was once filmed, it's fine.

  Renovate the originally abandoned shelter to make it look new and that's it.

  Afterwards, in the wasteland scene, in the village, Catherine also rearranged the buildings and renovated them a bit to make sure they looked different from those in the movie.

  Eastwood felt good about the shoot, and Catherine was reassured after looking at some footage. She only asked to see the dailies and the edited footage afterwards.

  Although it's a TV series, Catherine made sure that the other party shot according to the requirements of a movie, striving to make the picture perfect.

  The script of the TV series was handed over to the other party.

  And Catherine also started thinking about new scripts.

  It seems like Catherine has a knack for remakes this time around, and her choice of film is also unconventional.

  And Catherine had considered this film long ago.

  This is Crysis - also known as Crisis in a Foreign Land.

  Catherine had even booked the lead role - Bruce Lee.

  In the film, Bruce Lee wore a mask throughout, until the end, when he finally revealed his yellow face.

  Just think about it, isn't it a lot of fun?

  When a group of Americans are amazed by the character's action in the movie, when Bruce Lee takes off his mask at the end of the film and reveals a Chinese face... wouldn't that be interesting?

  Bruce Lee is a movie star who can conquer the audience in Europe and America, for others, Catherine might have some worries, but if it's Bruce Lee, then Catherine almost doesn't need to worry at all.

  Maybe this will make the box office even higher?

  Actually, Catherine's idea was very simple - she wanted to give the audience a fright!

  The game of Far Cry is good, but if it's adapted into a movie, it seems that many places need to be modified, which is also a huge project.

  So Catherine just wrote it down in her notebook, along with the game flow of Crisis and Crisis: Head.

  Moreover, Bruce Lee is still in Hong Kong now, let alone he will also shoot the third season of "Radiation" after his return, so the other party won't have time either.

  However, on set, Catherine did paint two original Nanosuit helmets before rushing back to Pennsylvania.

  Catherine is about to enter high school and take exams too.

  Because she had a private tutor accompanying her all the way, Catherine's studies didn't fall behind either. Participating in SAT and ACT might be a bit of a headache, but middle school questions were absolutely no problem at all.

  However, at this time, Eastwood hoped that Catherine would give him some advice on the first protagonist of "Radiation" in the second and third seasons.

  Catherine wanted to make Lee and Freeman the main characters, but the script was already written, they were also secondary protagonists. As for the first protagonist, it had actually been empty all along.

  Catherine actually had this idea.

  Go take radiation yourself?

  Catherine thought for a moment and felt that it was not bad, although she looked very young, but her height was enough, if she were to play the lead role herself, she just needed to put on some makeup.

  But would others like a girl as the main character?

  Catherine was not certain, so she was cautious.

  Moreover, the script is male-oriented, and if it were to be modified, many things would be messed up.

  Catherine picked up the phone and dialed a number directly.

  She hopes Eastwood will offer some advice himself.

  At the time of filming, Eastwood was very careful, and after receiving this call, he had already begun to look for characters.

  At the same time, Catherine returned to New York and found that due to the development of benchmarks, personal computers in New York were almost turned upside down.

  "With the advent of the electronic age, are you ready? Jerry Sanders opened up the specs for Microsoft computers, which means that anyone can now make peripherals for Microsoft computers. We can't say whether this is a wise choice or not, but we can see that the standard for personal computers has been born..."

  This is a report from The New York Times.

  The Washington Post summed it up more succinctly.

  "The electronics industry, a new gold rush. 'Personal computer', the brilliant Miss Catherine Edson brought us this term, she showed us that rich imagination and genius creativity. From Word to printer, from Ping-Pong to Emma's cube, these electronic software and games will capture every computer user's heart. In Intel or the entire Edson's Ark Group industry, the electronics industry has become her pillar industry. In this round of 'electronic gold rush', many manufacturers have intended to become Microsoft's third-party hardware or software. Here, we want to ask: Hey, are you ready? Prospectors!"

  In today's flood of books, ours is quite dry. Considering we didn't water it down, give us some votes, okay?...
