Chapter 63: The Superstars

  Time magazine called her a magical girl, and perhaps she really has magic...

  Lily was reading about Catherine in The New York Times while Catherine herself was now taking a bath.

  "Kate, did you really spend $20 million on a movie?"

  "Of course!" Catherine's voice came from inside.

  "It's really hard to believe."

  To know that at this age, even some films claiming to be "big hits" may find it difficult to reach a box office of 200 million.

  But Catherine's frame of reference wasn't today's so-called blockbusters, the real Hollywood-style blockbusters, should be like Star Wars.

  That's what Catherine is after.

  Catherine collapsed exhaustedly onto the bed.

  She has been considering whether to apply, so she doesn't have to stay in school. In the US, many child stars do it this way, they all have private tutors who guide them during filming breaks, exempting them from attending classes.

  In that case, you would only need to take the exam, and even if you study, you would only need a private tutor.

  Catherine certainly wanted to drop out of school directly.

  But...that's impossible.

  Catherine is now in a compulsory education phase. If she resists or opposes her parents on this matter in any form, they will be in trouble.

  Catherine is now even considering whether she should choose to skip grades, as long as she can graduate early and save a lot of time.

  After all, her own foundation is there, and Catherine has not spent ten years in vain. She thinks this idea of hers is quite good.

  "I'm exhausted."

  Catherine immediately covered her head with the quilt.

  "What's wrong?"

  "Learning horse riding is really a troublesome thing."

  Starting this year, Catherine's physical education class will need to learn horseback riding. Griel Girls' Middle School has a lot of distinctive things.

  "You'll get used to it."

  Lily picked up the book on her bedside table, she was now in high school and had a lot more to learn than before.

  "Lily... I've been thinking... maybe I won't come to school anymore. You know, I have a lot of things to take care of."

  After thinking for half a day, Catherine finally spoke up.

  "What?!" Lily jumped in fright.

  "Hey, I'm saying I need to do a lot of things and if I stay here... probably can't. And I also have to go film in Mexico..."

  Lily opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

  "What's next?"

  "After filming is finished, I'll probably return to school... Hmm, I still need to discuss this with my parents..."

  Goodbye classmates, leaving school, Catherine came to New Mexico.

  For Sean Connery, this role can be said to be the most peculiar one in his ten-year acting career.

  The director is a 14-year-old girl who has also directed and starred in a million-dollar box office hit.

  The film's budget was an unprecedented $20 million, and he really didn't know what kind of movie needed that much money.

  However, the script for Fallout also attracted Sean Connery.

  The script is novel, although it's after the apocalypse, but the plot is very reasonable. Savoring it carefully, such a description may indeed be the tomorrow of humanity.

  Although Sean Connery had seen pictures or images of Catherine before, this was their first face-to-face meeting in Mexico.

  "Hello, Mr. 007." Catherine smiled and greeted him.

  "Hello, genius magical girl."

  Connery also laughed.

  007 is a script that Catherine wants to "steal" very much, but unfortunately, this thing has an original work, and the adaptation rights have been bought by Lianmei Company, leaving Catherine completely helpless.

  The 007 played by Sean Connery is the closest to the original in all series. Without Sean Connery, there would be no subsequent 007 series.

  The current "world's sexiest man" is now in his prime and exceptionally handsome.

  After meeting Catherine herself, Connery became more interested in filming the movie. He always felt that this film would have surprises.

  As for the other two protagonists, they are not as complex as Connery. Freeman was completely blank in this place, but it's no wonder that he became a superstar later, "God" - he has played God many times - adjusted quickly.

  Lee was curious about American-style filmmaking.

  Catherine's team has hundreds of people, and all sorts of equipment are being moved back and forth by the crew, which is something you don't see in Hong Kong.

  "Alright, everyone. I think you've all read the script I gave you. Although the 'shelter' is still being set up, the outdoor scenes are already ready. So what we need to do now is finish filming the outdoor scenes..."

  Catherine prepared many props.

  In "Fallout", many creatures have undergone genetic mutations, such as giant groundhogs and highly aggressive insects, all of which require careful configuration by the production team to make them look realistic.

  Catherine's idea was simple.

  Since current movie special effects are not very realistic, just make things in movies look as real as possible and that's it!

  In addition, there is a monster called "Death Claw" inside, which can be compared to the Alien. This creature is actually worn on the human body.

  To set the scene, Catherine also gathered many scrap cars and other buildings to build a post-apocalyptic town. At the same time, Catherine spent a large sum of money to create a half-collapsed overpass bridge.

  In the end of the movie, the protagonist stands here and gazes into the distance.

  At any point, Catherine demanded "absolute truth".

  At the same time, she also bought a lot of still cameras for the crew, all for filming preparation.

  The armor on Bruce Lee's body was also bought by Catherine at a high price.

  He plays a member of the "Eastern Iron Brotherhood" who advocates for justice. He is a member of the elite squad "Holy Knights".

  In the heat of battle, Lee was knocked unconscious by a blow to the back of his head and left for dead by his comrades. Later, as a scavenger attempted to strip him of his gear, he came to.

  Actually, Catherine originally wanted to prepare a set of "Nano Armor" from Crysis 2 for Bruce Lee. But then she had another good idea, if possible, she even wanted to film a Crysis movie...

  ……

  Uh, I recently found myself getting hooked on Shibui clothes...
