Chapter 82: Conception
"Maybe you'd be interested in joining our Dream Factory?"
Catherine invited.
"If your company needs it, I'd love to."
$5 million!
That's 5 million!
Serjo was thrilled.
Once it was decided, Catherine made a phone call and explained it to Eastwood.
After saying that, Serjo left almost non-stop, and then rushed to the state of Mexico.
It seems that the other party is very excited.
"That...... Miss, are you really the director of "Wasteland"? ”
Elsa asked suddenly.
No one had ever told her about it, and Catherine had never cared.
In fact, Elsa has always just thought that the two have the same name.
But now, things don't seem to be like that.
"yes, what's wrong?"
Catherine asked, confused.
"I ...... Loves watching movies. ”
Elsa has also seen the Wasteland movie.
Watching movies is one of Elsa's few hobbies.
Elsa really didn't expect Catherine to be in charge of an entire film company, and even more so the director of that wasteland!
Normally, she kept her distance from Catherine, but at this time, Elsa realized that she seemed to have misunderstood something.
Catherine laughed.
"I hope you'll enjoy my films, and if only they could get a show from a New York-area TV station here, maybe you can see my TV series in July!"
Elsa seemed interested.
"By the way, Elsa, why didn't I see you just now?" Catherine asked.
"I'm tidying up the warehouse." Elsa replied.
"That's it...... Where to put your clothes? ”
Elsa nodded.
"Can you take me to see it?"
Catherine was suddenly intrigued.
"No problem." As she spoke, Elsa led Catherine to the basement. There's a hallway here that looks like a warehouse.
Then Elsa opened one of the doors and walked inside.
Inside, there are a variety of traditional European women's clothing.
"That's a lot......"
Catherine looked at the clothes and really knew that she was not a restraint.
Old White also had harnesses there, and that was mostly dresses. Here, most of them are everyday clothes. All kinds of leather, wood, and metal things are available here. From top to bottom, from beginning to end, every set of clothing can "arm" the girl from beginning to end.
Catherine suddenly remembered a description she had heard in the United States about a party of young ladies of the upper class of the European aristocracy......
"They (the noble ladies) were put on masks that they could not hear, could not see, and could not speak, and then they were led to the meeting place by the servants, and then they were tied to stools, and then the servants began the party ......"
When you think about it this way, Europe is really terrifying.
Women are suppressed to such an extent that it is no wonder that there is a feminist movement.
"What is this?"
Catherine suddenly noticed a pair of shoes.
These shoes are somewhat similar to ballet shoes.
It's probably a pair of high heels, but the style is very strange, and there is no heel at all, so when you put it on, you have to rely on your toes. The outside is metallic, and the inside seems to be lined with something.
"This one is just for ornamental use, and I can't wear it at all."
Elsa replied.
But Catherine decided to show her hand.
"Elsa, give me those shoes, and I'll put them on."
"Huh?"
Elsa was a little confused, but took off her shoes anyway.
It looks about the same as Catherine's feet, slightly bigger, but that's okay. Elsa helped her put on her shoes, then helped Catherine to her feet.
"Elsa, let go of me and put on a show for you."
Under Elsa's astonished gaze, Catherine walked back and forth in these shoes, and walked on the ground as if she were on the ground, without the slightest discomfort at all.
Then, she seemed to want to do a few more difficult movements, but because of the restrictions of the thigh rings, she had to give up.
"You...... It's amazing. ”
Catherine smiled: "It's nothing, I've just studied some ballet before." But these shoes are beautiful. ”
Indeed, although there is no pattern, the shape of this metal and the reflective luster are very much in line with some later aesthetics.
Elsa nodded. ,
"Well, I heard that you seem to have developed a personal computer? That seems like a very interesting thing? ”
Elsa also seems to be interested in computers.
Catherine smiled awkwardly, but she nodded.
Although it is Catherine's own product, it is not nice to say......
She just wants to use the word "cheat daddy" to describe her personal computer.
Although she holds patents for integrated circuits.
But most of the patents are based on theory, and in reality, it took her several years to buy various materials from Fairchild to complete a creation that is only assembled, that is, "GameTV".
As for those personal computers, they may look good in the eyes of people today.
But if there is a time-traveler who can cross over, he will definitely scold Catherine.
Is this a god thing? An enlarged version of Wenqu Xing? Or is it the earliest version?! I'm X, it's still a castrated version!
Strictly speaking, Catherine's personal computer is just a "word processor" with a little bit of gaming power.
If it's used for complex work like programming, it will never be done.
It's fine for the average person, but it's almost unbearable for a former software engineer like Catherine.
"Probably a word processing device......
Catherine replied.
I think that at the beginning, the reason why she used the name "Microsoft computer" was also because "Microsoft" and "cheat daddy" are, in a sense, synonymous.
Catherine is now preparing to make contact with Seymour Clay.
Supercomputers are the trend now, and only supercomputers can be regarded as real computers.
If there is Seymour Clay, many of the supercomputer problems can be solved.
After all, I am not from the 60s, and I don't know much about the problems faced by supercomputers at this time.
And, with Seymour Clay bringing down IBM's 360 supercomputer and the growing tensions between him and the company, Catherine is confident that she can poach the other party in two years at most.
Seymour Clay is a passionate fan of supercomputers, working with them from the '50s until his car accident in 1996. In a sense, he has a certain paranoid fanaticism about the performance of supercomputers, and this is exactly what Catherine needs.
Moreover, with a supercomputer, future movies will be much more interesting.
Think about it, Star Craft, full CG technology...... How interesting is that......
Well, that's just fantasy for now.
Reality does not change by human will, just like one's own halo, although it has been planned, but from George Lucas's report, Catherine sees some problems.
Catherine wanted to make a perfect "Halo", and before that, she had to be pregnant for a while......
……
Fourth, ask for tickets......
