Chapter 90: Catherine's Conjecture
Although she arrived at the company, Catherine did not start working immediately, but instead checked the situation of various enterprises.
Apple and Intel were doing great under Jerry Sanduson's management, but as the company grew in size, they also got busier. Maybe we need to find another person to help out.
Baosnow Entertainment's revenue is the most stable, although not a lot, but accumulated over time, it's still pretty good. However, with the recent release of various games, the company's performance has also been steadily improving.
And DreamWorks is the company under Catherine that laughs the most. No way, "Wasteland" has already made 200 million at the box office, and the ratings for "Radiation" are also very high, advertisers flock to it, and AB TV's revenue is not small either.
As for DreamWorks' animation studio, it has also been established.
The first episode that has already been produced is placed in the office.
Although it's a video tape, you can still take a look at it.
Catherine put it in the VCR beside her.
Then comes the opening theme song.
Nowadays, cartoons are all very short, but Catherine's "Harry Potter" is 20-30 minutes per episode, and there are opening and ending songs, which are absolutely great.
The first part is about Harry Potter's life at his aunt's house, then Harry Potter shows an amazing talent for magic, and the end of the film is a segment of Hagrid using magic.
Because it's a long drama with over 60 episodes per season, the pace of the movie is also slow, and many interesting contents are added.
Catherine knew that by herself, of course, there was no way to reverse the aesthetic view of Westerners, but she could cultivate a new aesthetic for young children.
Don't you see, how many Chinese people in the 21st century would like the original painting style of "Journey to the West"? They prefer Japanese-style paintings, which is the result of their upbringing from a young age.
Of course, this is just a small part of it.
To make money, one must be accommodating.
In terms of drawing style, Catherine's animation is closer to later American comics rather than Japanese manga.
But even though she had already prepared a set, Catherine did not dare to act rashly.
She thinks that at least some children should watch this animation and then criticize it before revising it.
Catherine was very cautious in this regard.
In her view, this set of animation in front of her is just an experimental product.
Catherine put down the film and wrote her own views in a notebook.
Then she picked up a report which was a list of directors and actors who had recently signed long-term contracts with DreamWorks.
Catherine looked up and suddenly saw a name.
"Nicholas Karasanto?"
Nikolas Karasandas
"Nikolas Karasandas..."
Catherine muttered to herself three times in a row, then suddenly lit up and finally remembered who Karasanto was.
He is the director of "Garrison's Gorillas"!
He never thought he would come to his own Dream Factory!
A TV series watched by about 1 billion people, a film that created the highest ratings in TV history - "Garrison's Gorillas"!
Catherine suddenly became excited.
Nikolas Karasanto is both an actor and a director. Prior to this, he had directed one film, Bonanza.
And next year, he will also direct a film called "Run for Your Life".
And as an actor active on the screen, it was in the 1970s.
Catherine drew a circle around this person's name with a red pen.
Catherine already knew what she was going to do next.
Take a movie!
Garrison Daredevil Squad?
No!
Red Alert!
Of course, this is different from the original Red Alert.
In this version of Catherine's thinking, she decided to let the Orient give rise to a "Sun Empire", and at that time it was also the peak of the Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union, neither of whom wanted to trigger a war, but they both had misgivings about this empire.
At the same time, there were signs that this evil Soviet Union was manipulating the Southern Rainforest effect to harm the people of free nations, but at this time, another country had a tendency to lean towards the free world.
So, in order to take care of the overall situation, the special forces unit where the protagonist is located was ordered to go and investigate this matter...
Special Forces is Catherine's trump card.
At that time, although there were "green berets" special forces, but still did not have a true concept of special forces, which had to wait until after the Vietnam War to gradually improve.
And for himself, he wrote out the trend of future special forces in movies...
Immediately afterwards, one can also demonstrate the development of future technology, and all kinds of equipment can be used...
If we can just make Red Alert into a movie... perhaps the Pentagon will take us more seriously?
Catherine began thinking about how to deal with her counterpart.
In the United States, most companies have dealings with the government, but Catherine knew that just relying on ideas from movies wouldn't work. There had to be a way to spark the Pentagon's interest in her own project.
Shooting a film is undoubtedly a good choice.
Of course, the Pentagon is no fool.
Catherine is not a Superman-like protagonist with "weakness halo" and "main character halo".
Bibi Xiaozi is just a possible opponent's heart blood.
But this opportunity was one in a million for Catherine, and if there was even a 20% chance, she would decide to take the gamble.
And it does no harm to oneself either.
If it pays off, I may get a large amount of research funding. If not, this story set in the near future and inspired by Red Alert will probably still be well-received.
In the film, there are two male leads and one female lead. One of the male leads is a "commander", which is a codename for someone, while the other is a man named Kavili, and the female lead is called Tanya.
The lead role of Catherine has already been decided, and it is Sylvester Stallone.
Sylvester Stallone is now 19 years old.
But Catherine remembered that the other side seemed to have been running errands in Hollywood since the early 1970s, and then starred in his own self-directed film "Rocky" in '75, and became a sensation. Later, he also became famous with "First Blood".
At this time, Stallone was attending the University of Miami, but his advisor was trying to persuade him to drop out.
At this time, if Catherine were to extend an olive branch to the other side...
It turned out that Stallone's studies at school were completely ineffective, and even when he later filmed, his facial expressions were still wooden, so many of the dramatic films he shot became failures, and only in films like Rocky did he have a place.
However, "Red Alert" does not require much acting from Stallone, after all, this can be said to be an action movie.
As for the second protagonist, Catherine thought of Bruce Lee.
Things have been decided, next, just need to go find Stallone.
Catherine believed that this frustrated young man Stallone would be interested in his own film.
In the movie, Stallone is called "Commander", but Catherine wants to play a trick here.
In the end, Stallone and Tamia enter the trap and are asked to initiate a weapons launch program that only the commander knows.
The enemy tried every means to make Stallone compromise, even pointing a gun at Tan Ya in front of him.
But at this time, the self-destruction program of that weapon was activated.
Bruce Lee was actually "Commander" and Sylvester Stallone was "Cavalli"!
Hi!
What a great plot!
In the plot, in addition to the innovative tactical troop type of special forces, many near-future technologies were also adopted.
Since the other party is so interested in BBS, Catherine also plans to let the soldiers in "Red Alert" use this. Moreover, in the creation of the script, many people have written about using such personal computers for convenient communication.
At the same time, Catherine also proposed a concept of computer network in the script.
Of course, due to the limitations of the times, this can only be slightly mentioned. However, Catherine's Apple computer was able to do a lot of soft advertising through this.
Anyway, Catherine has decided to finish this script.
At the same time, Catherine immediately called DreamWorks and hoped they could help find Stallone.
But... who should play the heroine?
Catherine has some headaches on this issue.
Audrey Hepburn
The other party is indeed a female star, but it's not suitable for this action movie. Moreover, next year's Oscars, I will also be competing with her "Elegant Lady" ...
After some thought, Catherine really couldn't find a suitable person.
After all, at this time, there were very few people who played special forces, especially women.
At this time, Catherine immediately decided to contact Kara Santor.
After all, I have already decided on a director, and that is him.
In that case, I can also discuss with the other party about the development of the plot and see if they really have any real skills.
Catherine's vision has never been limited to the film industry, this is just a part of Catherine, but not all. Catherine's dreams cannot be achieved by relying on films alone. Those families and companies like DuPont and Rockefeller are just small ants in front of them.
Get on horseback immediately! Get on now!
Catherine immediately made up her mind.
"Please have some tea."
Just then, a cup of warm tea was placed beside him.
It's Elsa.
"Sorry Elsa. I was just too excited earlier, so..."
She rubbed her head in embarrassment.
"It doesn't matter."
Elsa smiled.
"However, your company is really amazing."
"Of course~"
Catherine proudly lifted her head, as if she had done something great.
