Chapter 78: Halo

  Life in Britain is very quiet.

  Although the situation in the US seems strange, Catherine on this side is "unmoved as a mountain".

  In fact, Catherine was thinking of "Harry Potter".

  But she thought for a moment and decided just to put it down in writing.

  If we're going to make an animated film, then we must recruit another batch of employees.

  But Catherine's own resources were not fully mobilized.

  Wasteful things cannot be tolerated.

  Catherine knew that science fiction films were likely to be the most welcome in this era.

  But what should I take pictures of?

  Star Wars?

  Very good, very nice.

  But Catherine suddenly found herself in a awkward situation, realizing that she had only read the three prequels and seemed to have never read the "main story".

  Is there only a prequel but no main story? Will the American people buy it?

  Catherine is not very clear.

  Probably won't, right?

  Catherine shook her head.

  She is thinking of some other things.

  Since Gagarin went up into space, the whole world has been full of interest in outer space.

  Space-themed is absolutely flawless.

  Compared to Catherine's previous thought of a deserted island crisis, space-themed is obviously more popular. Even better than wasteland.

  To know, Lucas's Star Wars, is crazy to absorb gold over 300 million... that was ten years later!

  Compared with now, the US dollar at that time had not depreciated much, and its purchasing power was only slightly lower than it is today.

  If your own film wants to reach that height, the box office revenue should be over 200 million.

  However, according to the crew's judgment, if the North American box office can receive $120-150 million, that would be the most.

  Although her films were well-received, people's affection and investment are always limited.

  But with this money, Catherine can make a big production.

  Although it was fun for Catherine to have Bruce Lee wreak havoc in a destroyed New York, she had already fallen as a capitalist and now it's all about making money...

  What's good to take pictures of?

  What is something that you like and also makes money?

  Catherine has a headache.

  Then she continued thinking in her mind and recalled one by one the games she had played before.

  "WOW? That's great, but what does this have to do with space?"

  "Deep space lost memory? The box office doesn't seem too good, does it?"

  "Huh... an aura?"

  Catherine suddenly thought of this game.

  Aureole

  This game released by Microsoft is absolutely a classic in the gaming world.

  The story takes place in the year 2552 on a mysterious ring-shaped world called Halo. The story revolves around a war between humans and the alien alliance known as the Covenant, which is composed of several technologically advanced species united by a shared religion.

  After humans perfected space jump technology, they began to immigrate to numerous planets between stars and develop new spaces.

  But their technology is so laughable in front of aliens that their resistance seems so insignificant.

  Two days before the start of the game's story, the Covenant launched a surprise attack on the last human colony world, Reach. The UNSC space fleet was almost completely destroyed, with only the Autumn surviving. The Autumn escaped through a random slipspace jump in an attempt to lure the Covenant away from Earth. On board is the last Spartan-II super-soldier, SPARTAN-117 John, also known as Master Chief Petty Officer, the game's protagonist.

  The officer is a very classic character.

  In terms of character image, it is more plump compared to Crisis Core.

  Because Halo has five parts, the world structure is also more perfect than Crisis of the Lonely Island.

  If this film were shot... maybe it would be pretty good?

  By the way, there is also an artificial intelligence in the movie, named Cortana.

  Catherine suddenly burst out laughing at this thought.

  She thought of a special effect that would make 1960s Americans feel deeply out of date.

  To test the waters, Catherine did not intend to start filming Halo immediately.

  She decided to write one first.

  Catherine doesn't remember much of the original Halo content, but she is very familiar with this piece. Combining some of the original content and this piece, Catherine wrote a rough outline for a trilogy.

  With this, it's much more convenient for oneself.

  "Ah..."

  Catherine wanted to stretch, but the ring on her hand restricted the movement of her arm, and she could only smile wryly.

  Catherine's mind is now filled with "space", as if that world has become everything to Catherine.

  Just then, Elsa walked over.

  "Miss, your phone."

  Catherine stood up from her chair and walked out carefully.

  But after receiving the phone call, Catherine became excited.

  This is from the crew.

  The reason is that someone has already responded to Catherine's request and joined her Angel Beats TV station.

  The man's name was Gene Roddenberry.

  Father of Star Trek.

  An absolute heavyweight figure!

  Between 1949 and 1956, he served as a police officer with the Los Angeles Police Department. Prior to Star Trek, he wrote for many popular television series of the 1950s, including Have Gun, Will Travel. He also attempted to create other science fiction television shows, but none were successful.

  Then, no one knew his interstellar voyage would become a classic.

  In fact, when it was first broadcast, Star Trek was not very popular. However, just as the TV station was about to cancel "Star Trek", its fans stood up and managed to save the show, which then went on to film another season.

  At this time, Star Trek suddenly became a cult phenomenon, with more and more people liking it, and Paramount Television replayed it multiple times.

  But Catherine was confident it would be an instant hit on its first play.

  And the answer is - Halo.

  That's right, Catherine wants to make Star Trek a prequel to Halo!

  From the explorers before humans perfected space jump technology, tell a story.

  But that's not all, Catherine has a bigger plan.

  Didn't they have Alien later on?

  Catherine could have turned Alien into a story that falls somewhere between Star Trek and Halo, of course, with the storytelling strength of Star Trek, which was well-received and spawned several TV shows, each running for several seasons (the quarterly release rule also took shape around this time).

  So, after "Star Trek", the story can not only be limited to a prequel, but also become a sequel and a spin-off.

  Look, isn't this interesting!

  Catherine felt excited just thinking about it.

  With Gene Roddenberry, the father of Star Trek, on board, Catherine felt more confident.
