Chapter 25: Apples
The immediate priority now is to get the film reviewed and then find a distributor.
"I'll take care of this!"
Jenny volunteered.
So, the job was given to her, while the others waited with anticrative anticipation for the release of the film.
Although it is a student film, no matter who it is, I hope that I can shoot a work that the audience expects, especially Catherine.
Throughout February, and even March, a group of people spent it in a mood of anticipation.
Catherine looked at herself in front of the mirror and let out a long sigh.
The filming ended temporarily, and life returned to normal, but Catherine always felt that since that day, some subtle changes had begun to occur in her body.
For example, the two hills that she was staring at right now were not very high.
Not so much because of the two piles of flesh on the chest itself, but because every time a companion touched it, a strange sensation rushed up from the lower half of the body, and then enveloped Catherine herself.
Below, it was as if she was squirming, making her legs sore, and then her whole body lost the ability to resist.
She suddenly realized that her body seemed to be too sensitive.
She began to rub her legs, and the thrill began to sweep through her body.
It's exciting underneath.
"Am I a legendary artifact? Hey hey ......"
Catherine smiled self-deprecatingly.
At this time, the phone rang in the house, but she was the only one in the house, and Catherine wrapped a bath towel and walked out.
"Kate! It's all done! ”
Over there, Jenny's excited voice.
"What?"
"The film has been reviewed by guò, but it ......"
"Say it."
It would be nice to be able to pass the guò audit.
"But a lot of the footage was cut."
"What?!"
Catherine jumped.
"You know, the Catholics."
The film classification system in the United States began to take shape in 1968, and now, the thing that restricts the release of movies is something else - the Hays Code.
It is a work by the Catholic publisher Martin-Quigley and the Jesuit priest Daniel-Lord who drafted a code of ethics for film production, which was born in 1930 and has been widely criticized by filmmakers, the Motion-Picture-Pro-duction-Code (also known as the "Hays Code").
In 1957, after the release of the French-language film "And-God-Created-Woman" in New York State, Catholic forces in a certain part of the state tried to persuade an exhibitor to cancel the "condemned" film with money, and their demands were rejected by the exhibitor, and they launched a six-month boycott of the theater.
They even staged a march, which Catherine had seen at the time, but she didn't care at the time. And now, it's finally on her.
"Damn Christians."
My father used to be a Jewish, and my mother used to be an Orthodox Christian, but both became atheists after they got married.
"Luckily, my grandfather went over and negotiated as much as he could...... Thankfully, they don't seem to have a B-movie in their sights. ”
A blessing in misfortune.
If this is a commercial blockbuster, the shots that should be cut will probably be tripled, or even fivefold.
"The distributor has also been confirmed, it's Columbia Pictures, how about it, do you need to let them distribute it?"
"No problem."
Columbia Pictures, which will later be renamed Columbia Pictures and Columbia Samsung, is a well-known distributor in the United States.
Although it is not known how Jenny found them, it is clear that this is an indication of the potential success of her film in the future.
"Kate, are you free next week?"
Jenny asked suddenly.
"Yes." Catherine replied.
"That's great, Kate, it's my birthday next week, and I hope you can come too."
"No problem."
Of course I'm going to go to my friend's birthday.
After hanging up the phone, Catherine began to think about the TV again.
Television has been popular in American homes since the 50s of the 20th century. Compared with the increasingly popular television, movies have become more and more "niche", and their audience groups have gradually diverged, and it is difficult to reproduce the group experience of tens of millions of people watching the same film at the same time. In 1948, the average weekly audience in the United States was still as high as 80 million, but before and after the introduction of the film classification system, that number had plummeted to 20 million. Correspondingly, television quickly overtook movies as a favorite of American family entertainment in the fifties and sixties. ,
And now, it's time for television to start gaining popularity.
Integrated circuit TV,It can be said to be a kind of reform of color TV,Now,She is eager to sell her own integrated circuit TV。
Catherine had thought it all through, and the reason why she chose a video game console instead of developing a separate console like the WII, PS3, and XBOX360 was simple.
-- She wants to eat the TV market together.
To have a big-picture view and a strategic vision, this sentence is not just talking.
The difference between men and women, so to speak, is also here, at least for the most part.
Although the gender has been changed, such a big picture, as well as things left over from the previous life, have not changed.
In the 60s, American science and technology were developing by leaps and bounds, and in the area of television, it was stated that with the popularization of color television programs, color television began to become popular, and the entire television market more than doubled.
How can you eat such a big market?
The answer is simple – bundling strategy.
GAME-TV is Catherine's killer feature.
That's what Bill Gates did back then, his Internet Explorer browser with its bundling and free strategy, ferociously occupied a large number of markets, and Catherine is now doing the same as the future richest man in the world.
It is now 1961, the beginning of what Western economists have called a "golden age" in economic growth in the United States. The United States' GDP grew from $523.3 billion in 1961 to $1,063.4 billion in 1971 through a "golden age."
This was followed by the destruction of the Bretton Woods system and the first oil crisis. Then came China's reform and opening up and the second oil crisis......
Those things are still a long way from Catherine, but America's golden age has arrived, and if you can seize this golden age, you can rise to the top.
"Hays Code" will be rampant for at least another 7 years, and Catherine knows that during these 7 years, the movies she shoots will fall short of the box office she expects in any case, unless she makes this code history in advance. But that's at least not now.
So Catherine began to desperately seek another way out.
The TV strategy is one of them.
And can't you go to make a TV series? Now is the time for television.
"By the way, if you set up a TV company...... What should it be called? ”
Catherine thought for a moment.
"Well, let's call it Apple!"
I don't know what will happen to Jobs, who is still a little Zhengtai, in the future...... Whatever, what does this have to do with you?
……
The contract has finally arrived, huhu~
In other words, the A-cover is too small, what should I do when I grow up?
