Chapter 63: The Superstars
"Time magazine called her a magical girl, maybe, she really has magical powers......"
Lily reads the New York Times news about Catherine, who herself is now taking a shower in the bathroom.
"Kate, did you really spend $20 million on filming?"
"Of course!" Catherine's voice came from within.
"It's unbelievable."
You must know that in this year, even some films known as "blockbusters" may have some difficulties in reaching a box office of 20 million.
However, Catherine's reference is not the so-called blockbuster now, a real Hollywood-style blockbuster, which should be like Star Wars.
That's what Catherine was after.
Catherine threw herself on the bed exhausted.
She was already thinking about whether she could apply so that she didn't have to stay in school. In the United States, many child stars come over like this, they all have tutors, and they go to tutor them when they are filming, so they don't have to go to class.
In that case, you only need to take the exam, and even if you study, you only need a tutor.
Catherine, of course, wanted to drop out of school.
But...... That's impossible.
Catherine is now in the compulsory education stage, and if she fights compulsory education in any way, her parents will suffer.
Catherine is even considering whether she should choose to skip a grade, as long as she can graduate early, it can also save a lot of time.
After all, her foundation is there, and for more than ten years, Catherine has not been in vain. She thought it was a good idea.
"I'm tired."
Catherine covered her head with the quilt all at once.
"What's wrong?"
"Learning equestrianism is a really frustrating thing."
Starting this year, Catherine's physical education class will require learning to ride a horse, and Greer Girls' High School has a lot of very unique things.
"You'll get used to it."
Lily picked up the book that was placed by the bedside, she was now in high school and had so much more to learn than before.
Lily...... I think ...... Won't you come to school in the future? You know, there's a lot of work I need to do. ”
After thinking for a long time, Catherine still spoke.
"What?!" Lily was startled.
"Hey, I mean I need to do many, many things to keep staying here...... Probably there is no way. And I'm going to the State of Mexico to film......"
Lily opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"And what about after that?"
"When the filming is over, I'll probably go back to school...... Well, I still need to talk to my parents about this......"
After saying goodbye to her classmates and leaving school, Catherine came to New Mexico.
For Sean Connery, this takeover can be said to be the most novel in his ten-year filming career.
The director is a 14-year-old girl, and this little girl has also filmed a self-directed and self-starred box office blockbuster drama with a box office of 10 million dollars.
The investment in the film is an unprecedented $20 million, and he really doesn't know what kind of film needs so much money.
However, the script of "Wasteland" is also very attractive to Sean Connery.
The script is very novel, although it is after the apocalypse, but the plot is very reasonable, savor it carefully, such a description may really be the tomorrow of mankind.
Although Sean Connery had seen pictures and videos of Catherine a long time ago, this was the first time they had met face-to-face in Mexico.
"Hello, Mr. 007." Catherine greeted each other with a smile.
"Hello, genius Miss Magical Girl."
Connery smiled too.
007 is a script that Catherine really wants to "steal", but unfortunately, this thing has an original book, and the adaptation rights have long been bought by Luen Mei Company, so Catherine has no choice at all.
The 007 played by Sean Connery is the closest to the original book of all the series, and without Sean Connery, there will be no future 007 series.
Today's "sexiest man in the world" is now in the prime of life, and he is extremely handsome.
After meeting Catherine herself, Connery became even more interested in the filming of this film. He always felt that there would be a surprise in this film.
As for the other two protagonists, they are not as complicated as Connally. Freeman's mind was completely blank in the field, but as a future superstar, "Mr. God" – who played God many times – quickly adjusted. ,
Bruce Lee, on the other hand, was curious about the shooting of American-style movies.
Catherine's team numbered hundreds of people, and various props were moved around by the crew, which is not seen in Hong Kong.
"Okay, guys, I think you've all read the script I gave you, although the 'Shelter' is still being built, but the exterior has already been built, so what we have to do now is finish filming the exterior ......"
Catherine prepared a lot of props.
In "Wasteland", many creatures have undergone genetic mutations, including huge moles and extremely aggressive insects, all of which require careful configuration by the crew to make them look like the real thing.
Catherine's idea was simple.
Since the special effects of movies are not realistic now, let's just make the things in the movie look the same as the real thing, and that's it!
In addition, there is a monster called "Deathclaw" in it, which is probably a monster that can fight with aliens, and is worn on people, and this creature is actually played by people.
In order to build the scene, Catherine collected a lot of scrapped cars and some other buildings, except for a rather apocalyptic town. At the same time, Catherine built a half-collapsed overpass at a large price.
At the end of the film, the protagonist stands here and looks into the distance.
At any point, Catherine demanded "absolute truth".
At the same time, she also bought quite a lot of still cameras for the crew, which were all prepared for filming.
The armor on Bruce Lee's body, Catherine also spent a lot of money.
He plays a member of the "Eastern Brotherhood of Steel" who advocates justice. He is a member of the elite squad "Paladin" inside.
During one operation, Bruce Lee was knocked unconscious by a blow to the back of the head and was thought dead by his companions, and then woke up when a wasteland scavenger tried to lay down his gear.
In fact, Catherine originally wanted to prepare a set of "nano armor" in "Crysis 2" for Bruce Lee. But come to think of it, Catherine has another great idea, and if she can, she even wants to make a "Crysis......

Uh, lately I've found myself getting a little hooked on corsets......
