Chapter 65: Back to New York

  Chapter Sixty-Five Back in New York

  In filming, Catherine focused on Lee's fight scenes and Connery's acting scenes. Freeman, although the main character, had a greater role in driving the plot.

  Catherine adopted the Cinemascope system of wide-screen filming.

  Cinemascope, also known as Cinerama. A type of widescreen film. During filming, three cameras connected together take one-third of the wide-screen image on three 35mm films, and during projection, three synchronized projectors project the three strips of film onto the screen at the same time, forming a complete picture. Cinemascope is projected onto a wide curved screen, providing the audience with a 146-degree horizontal field of view, and is equipped with multi-channel stereophonic sound equipment.

  Catherine uses 70mm film, which is clearer on screen.

  Catherine's pursuit of the screen is not that excessive, but she can't help but look down on the old-fashioned screen of today's films. The film shot in this way will definitely give people a visual feast.

  The film ends with Connor walking alone on the desolate Gobi dunes, carrying a rifle on his back. Catherine shot this scene for a full minute before Connor climbed onto the broken bridge and gazed into the distance.

  "This is our future, here, there's no redemption."

  "Great! That's terrific!"

  Catherine burst out laughing.

  Although filming is complete, the film still needs to be edited and undergo post-production work, which may continue until mid-1963. If it is to be released, the earliest possible date would be Christmas 1963, but it is more likely to be delayed until 1964.

  But a few days earlier than expected, Catherine was also excited.

  And 1963 was also the peak of the American civil rights movement.

  Martin Luther King gave a very famous "I Have a Dream" speech this year, then Kennedy said "I have a dream too", and was assassinated right after. The assassin who killed him was a "mentally ill" person, obviously it was a premeditated action...

  If it is released at this time, the effect may be very good.

  Catherine was not worried about assassination.

  Kennedy was killed because he was sitting in the president's seat. His brother was also assassinated while running for president. Martin Luther King also died in 1968.

  Besides, there are bodyguards around me, as long as I'm careful, it should be fine.

  If all else fails, Catherine can even go to Europe to hide out, after all her family also has relatives in Europe, it's just that they haven't been in contact for a long time.

  Catherine is "desperate" for "Wasteland", she sincerely hopes that her film can achieve good results.

  The film was shot, but except for Connery, the other two protagonists can still be "recycled".

  $20 million was mainly spent on props and sets.

  But even if it's just a backdrop, wouldn't it be a waste to discard such a painstakingly created scenery?

  So Catherine had another plan.

  That's the TV series "Fallout"!

  This is different from the original "Wasteland", it's adapted from an article.

  The original is a trilogy adapted into a TV series, isn't it just right?

  With the success of "Fallout" and "Wargroove" as well as the hot sales of personal computers, it's not a problem for Catherine to take out $10 million. After all, TV dramas cost much less than movies. However, Catherine still wants to strive for realistic visuals, even if they can be played in movie theaters without any problems.

  Sean Connery, a lead actor with such an air of mystery and uniqueness, naturally cannot be replaced. Moreover, Connery may not necessarily star in a TV series either.

  Catherine was preparing Freeman for the second part, and the third part describes Washington after the abandonment of the East, where Bruce Lee can also go to shoot.

  The main character of the first part of the TV series, Catherine sends a letter to Clint Eastwood.

  At this time, he was filming the CBS television series Rawhide. However, it didn't matter as his contract would be up in 1963 and Catherine didn't necessarily have to film them in order; she decided to film the second one first, then the first one. Anyway, the time span between the two is roughly thirty years.

  Oh, right. The American TV series should be referring to Season 1 and Season 2.

  No matter what, this American drama concept has not been formed yet, whatever Catherine is called doesn't matter.

  Catherine even wrote a letter saying it would be all right if Eastwood himself came to direct.

  Who is Eastwood?

  The protagonist of "A Fistful of Dollars" in 1964, the starring role of "The Bridges of Madison County", and the director and star of "Million Dollar Baby", which won four Academy Awards at the 77th Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actor.

  He is an actor and director of great talent, whose gifts will be revealed after he went to Italy in 1964. Now, he is like a jade waiting to be discovered. Unlike Freeman who still needs to be honed, Eastwood has already taken shape, with years of experience in Hollywood giving him enough acting skills and vision.

  Just think about it, Eastwood, who originally became famous with "Unforgiven", is now famous for his own "Radiation" series... Hey, what a fulfilling thing!

  Even thinking about it made Catherine feel more excited.

  For several months straight, Catherine stayed on set, even during Christmas.

  When she noticed things outside again, it was Bruce who sent her a message from the company.

  It turned out that Intel had made a breakthrough and at this time they had overcome the bottleneck of supercomputers.

  In other words, Catherine can also make supercomputers now!

  By the time she flew back from Mexico State to New York, it was already March of the following year.

  "Dad, can we really build a supercomputer now?!"

  This was Catherine's first sentence after she got home.

  Next, she saw her mother Emma handing over a white towel.

  "I originally wanted to come see you, but Bruce said it's best not to disturb you. Kate, I'm really looking forward to the movie shoot."

  Emma smiled slightly.

  Catherine is no longer taking classes at SAB. On the one hand, Catherine has already reached a professional level in terms of dance technique. On the other hand, she also doesn't have that time anymore.

  "Thank you, mom..."

  Catherine's excited heart suddenly cooled down.

  And also those friends of mine.

  It's been half a year since then, how are they doing now?

  Will they think of themselves?

  Catherine had some small expectations in her heart.

  ……

  The person's name BUG has been modified, thank you everyone.
