Chapter 70

"Hello, Mr. Clint." This was the first time Katherine had met him.

"Hello, Miss Edson."

Clint Eastwood was a veteran actor, but he had always been underappreciated in Hollywood. So when he received Katherine's invitation, he readily agreed and quickly came to New Mexico.

He had already received Katherine's script.

In fact, the plot adapted from the novel was quite good.

Katherine also wanted to adapt the "Harry Potter" series, but in her view, the current technology level seemed far from meeting the requirements.

"What do you think of the script?" Katherine asked.

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

Since he was going to be the director, Eastwood naturally had to share his thoughts.

Katherine nodded.

"You're right. But I've already made a movie before, and I think we can 'recycle' some of the materials."

Unexpectedly, Eastwood shook his head.

"It might not work, because the scenes required for a TV series are much larger than those for a movie. I have an idea, maybe we can use models."

"Models?"

"Yes, I got the idea from your tabletop game series. Many people have used this method. I understand your pursuit of realism. For some scenes, we can use a bird's-eye view to show the setting, then transition to the main character's location. This way, the audience will have the illusion that the main character is already in that place, even though everything is actually filmed in a studio."

Katherine nodded; his suggestion was quite good.

"So, do you think we can start shooting our first TV series?"

The other party nodded.

Eastwood knew he had passed a small test.

In the film, Eastwood played a member of a shelter, which was designed to remain sealed for centuries. However, due to a malfunction in the water purifier, the shelter's manager sent Eastwood out into the wasteland to find parts from an abandoned shelter.

They could use the same shelter that had been used in the movie, just refurbish it to look new.

For the wasteland scenes, Katherine rearranged the buildings in the village and made some renovations to ensure they looked different from the movie.

Eastwood felt very comfortable on set, and after watching for a while, Katherine felt reassured. She only required that he show her the master tape and the edited footage at the end.

Although it was a TV series, Katherine insisted on filming it to the highest standards of a movie, striving for the most perfect visuals.

She handed the TV series script over to him.

Meanwhile, Katherine began to think about a new script.

Perhaps she had become addicted to adaptations, as the film she chose this time was quite unique.

And this film was one she had considered for a long time.

It was "Crysis" — "Crysis: Warhead."

Katherine had even reserved the lead role for Bruce Lee.

In the film, Bruce Lee would wear a mask throughout, only revealing his Asian face at the end.

Imagine how interesting it would be!

When a group of Americans were amazed by the character's movements in the film, and then at the end, Bruce Lee took off his mask to reveal an Asian face... wouldn't that be very interesting?

Bruce Lee was an actor who could captivate Western audiences. Katherine might have been worried about other actors, but with Bruce Lee, she had no concerns.

Perhaps this would even boost the box office?

What Katherine really wanted to do was simple — she wanted to surprise the audience!

However, while "Crysis" was a good game, adapting it into a movie would require significant changes, which would be a massive undertaking.

So, Katherine just wrote it down in her notebook and outlined the game's plot for "Crysis" and "Crysis: Warhead."

Moreover, Bruce Lee was still in Hong Kong, and even after he returned, he would be busy filming the third season of "Fallout," so he wouldn't have the time.

However, on set, Katherine did sketch two original designs of the nanosuit, then hurriedly returned to Pennsylvania.

Katherine was about to enter high school and would be taking exams.

Thanks to her private tutor, her studies hadn't fallen behind. While the SAT and ACT might be challenging, she had no problem with middle school subjects.

At this time, Eastwood hoped Katherine could give him some advice on the lead role for the second and third seasons of "Fallout."

Katherine wanted to cast Bruce Lee and Freeman as the leads, but the script was already written, and they were only secondary characters. The lead role had always been left open.

Katherine had considered it.

Should she play the lead in "Fallout"?

Katherine thought it might be a good idea. Although she looked young, she was tall enough, and with some makeup, she could play the role.

But would the audience like a girl as the lead?

Katherine wasn't sure, so she was very cautious.

Moreover, the script was written for a male character, and changing it would mess up a lot of things.

Katherine decided to call him directly.

She wanted Eastwood to give his own suggestions.

During filming, Eastwood was very dedicated, and after receiving the call, he began to look for suitable actors.

Meanwhile, back in New York, Katherine found that the development of the standard had caused a frenzy in the personal computer market.

"The dawn of the electronic age, are you ready? Jerry Sanders has opened the standard for Microsoft computers, meaning anyone can produce components for Microsoft computers. We can't say whether this is a wise decision, but we can see that a standard for personal computers has been born..."

This was a report from The New York Times.

The Washington Post's summary was even more concise.

"The electronics industry, a new golden market. 'Personal computers,' the brilliant Miss Katherine Edson has given us this term, showcasing her rich imagination and creative genius. From TEL or the entire Edson's Ark Group, the electronics industry has become her pillar. In this 'gold rush of electronics,' many manufacturers are eager to become third-party hardware or software providers for Microsoft computers. Here, we want to ask: Hey, are you ready? Gold rushers!"
