Chapter 81

At this moment, Elvis was considering whether to join DreamWorks and Angel TV.

Sergio received a call from his good friend and was rushing to England without a moment's delay.

The CEO of AMD was making a passionate speech at Intel Corporation.

In the United States, children were pulling their friends along, asking adults to be referees, and playing "Magic Chess."

The hippies in the bar's pool room were angrily inserting coins into an arcade game called "Emma Blocks." They had only one belief: they had to beat the game today!

However, more people were talking about "Wasteland."

Catherine framed the events caused by "Wasteland" with a term from the future.

"The Wasteland Scandal."

In Britain, "Wasteland" had just been released, and the response in Europe was quite good. It was worth noting that this was a time when European films were being exported to America, while American films were retreating and defending themselves.

However, our Miss Catherine Edson was reading a newspaper at this moment.

In fact, she didn't know what kind of tabloid it was, but Catherine found the information in the tabloid interesting.

—Despite its lack of authenticity.

This London newspaper was actually discussing whether the United States should dismantle the Hoover Dam.

They listed the disasters in the United States since the construction of the Hoover Dam.

They also interviewed victims of the Mississippi River floods and droughts.

But what did the Hoover Dam have to do with the Mississippi River?

After so many years since the construction of the Hoover Dam, instead of thinking about how to reduce the harm and increase the benefits, they were constantly attacking it. This was no longer a matter of bias; it was simply malicious.

What a joke?

If the Hoover Dam were dismantled, how could she continue her radiation story? The Hoover Dam played a significant role in it!

Although Britain was focusing on the Soviet Union, it seemed they also had strong opinions about Americans.

After all, it was a tabloid. Catherine felt relieved and stood up.

During these days, Catherine finally completed the character designs for the animated version of "Harry Potter."

This was different from illustration.

Although in her previous life, Catherine had learned manga with an impure mindset, she had put a lot of effort into adapting to the American style.

However, compared to the ugly American style, Catherine's style had a refreshing feel.

It felt very realistic, almost like pseudo-3D, but the characters were all very handsome and beautiful.

To improve the aesthetic views of Westerners, it must start from childhood...

After wearing gloves for so long, Catherine had gotten used to it.

Notably, the calluses on her hands seemed to be softening and fading, which was a great improvement.

The reason she chose to draw "Harry Potter" was that the response to "Halo" had not yet been received.

In Catherine's mind, the animated version of "Harry Potter" was ranked second.

At this moment, the response to the survey report had also arrived, but because of the large quantity, it was packed in a big package, and the maids were unpacking it.

Opening the package, a document was separately organized, and Catherine went over to pick it up.

"Please forgive us for organizing this document. This young man's understanding of film has reached an incredible level. In my view, many of his ideas are similar to yours..."

This was Eastwood's comment.

Then, Catherine opened the document.

George Lucas?!

Catherine was startled when she saw the name of the document.

So the George they had been talking about... was him?!

That can't be right, Lucas should still be a student, how could it be him?!

But clearly, the name George Lucas could not be mistaken.

Catherine flipped through the survey form.

This detailed report listed the funds and various technical support required to shoot "Halo." If everything were implemented, it would cost about 12 million, which was 1 million less than the "Star Wars: A New Hope" he would shoot later, but the money was slightly more valuable than in the 1970s.

However, Lucas was still a student, so there were many unreasonable aspects in his plan.

The "Halo" project was still in preparation. Although the company still had the capacity, it was impossible to shoot a film due to the "Wasteland Scandal." Her parents were under a lot of pressure.

However, DreamWorks couldn't just sit idle; she still had a group of people to feed.

Catherine saw Lucas's information below. Indeed, he was still in school in Los Angeles.

Catherine suddenly had a plan—maybe... she could get George Lucas to help direct "Star Trek"?!

Yes, what kind of chemical reaction would occur if George Lucas and Gene Roddenberry worked together on "Star Trek"?

Catherine felt excited just thinking about it, and she even started writing a letter immediately.

But before she could start, someone came to the door.

Sergio.

Catherine suddenly remembered that today was the agreed-upon day.

She quickly left the cluttered room.

She was wearing a knee-length, loose dress, and nothing could be seen from the outside.

Soon, Sergio arrived.

"Good heavens, you are really this young. It's hard to believe that you are the director of 'Wasteland'... I must say, 'Wasteland' is a miracle in the history of cinema!"

Sergio exclaimed upon seeing Catherine for the first time.

However, his words were not flattery but honest praise.

He had started his career making Western films, and "Wasteland" had elements of Western films.

In fact, this was also Catherine's design. At the time, the most popular genres were science fiction and Westerns. When Catherine asked Coca-Cola for sponsorship, she had submitted a detailed plan analyzing the prospects of "Wasteland" and even signed a breach of contract agreement. If the box office was less than 8 million dollars, Coca-Cola could get back their 3 million dollars. This was how she managed to secure the 9 million dollar contract. Of course, the other party probably initially thought that 3 million dollars would be enough to satisfy her.

"Actually, it's nothing. I heard Eastwood talk about the script outline, and I think your film is worth investing in. However, maybe you shouldn't make a B-movie. This film should be a major production with at least 5 million dollars in investment."

Standing a bit away, Elsa was a bit puzzled...

...

Develop the sequel? You guys are too evil. Although I like it, I still have to criticize your impure mindset.

There will be another update tonight, please vote.
