Chapter 127: Hang to dry
When the lawyer's letter was sent to BCA, there was a rush of confusion.
BCA's new production line had just been completed and was working at full capacity to produce new televisions, but at this time, Catherine's lawyer wrote in.
The entire "anti-Apple" coalition is in chaos.
At this time, the representative of the Japanese company Sony suddenly thought of a way -- to apply for a patent for an integrated circuit in China!
But the Japanese did not succeed, because they found out that this patent had already been applied for! And the registrant is still Catherine!
Catherine could never have forgotten such an important thing, not only in Japan, but also in Europe, Catherine has applied for patents for all of them.
The EC has only just been formed, and not many countries have entered. As a result, Catherine applied for her own patents one by one in Europe to ensure that no patents from one country were left behind!
In this way, it is impossible to bypass Catherine's patent!
Even in the future, patents are still not easy to talk about.
Where you want to defend your patents, you need to register them there.
For example, if Catherine does not register a patent in the Philippines, then the Philippines can manufacture and use integrated circuits with impunity, as long as the Philippines sells integrated circuits to countries without patent protection (Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia...... Then Catherine has no way to prohibit and demand compensation.
Catherine's iron bucket-like patent Great Wall gave them a huge headache. If they really fight a lawsuit with Catherine and let her win, the mid-to-high-end TV market will probably be monopolized by Catherine a long time ago.
As a result, some companies have already wanted to contact Catherine and get the other party to withdraw the lawsuit.
But they suddenly found that they couldn't find each other!
By this time, Catherine had already gone to New Mexico.
It was because of the Japanese invasion that Catherine suddenly thought of a good film.
"Flags of the Fathers".
For those TV companies, Catherine will not give up her revenge on them so lightly, hang them, and when they succumb, Catherine will show up again, which can be regarded as a lesson for them.
In the "historical" 6 and 70 s, Japanese manufacturers defeated American manufacturers and established Japan's hegemony in the audio-visual film and television industry until now.
The so-called sheep shearing has not changed this.
Americans are still too arrogant.
Catherine knew that if she backed down at this time, places like the console market would most likely be lost.
Therefore, since Catherine has decided to kill the other party, she must definitely be ruthless.
Now the work is being done by Sanders.
-- These are supposed to be the jobs of Sanders and Olson. The concept of president is still very novel, and this immature system also makes Sanders and others very unfamiliar, so Catherine still needs to intervene in a lot of work.
But now, she is temporarily the shopkeeper.
"Flags of the Fathers" and "Iwo Jima Family Letters" are the subjects of Catherine's filming this time.
This script was written by Catherine a long time ago.
There is not much difference between the two scripts, so you can use the same spot.
Of course, "Iwo Jima's Family Letter" needs Japanese actors, which is more troublesome, so Catherine simply filmed "The Flag of the Fathers" first.
"The Flags of the Fathers" is also about Iwo Jima during World War II.
It's the mid-60s, and most of those World War II veterans have really become "fathers", so not only does this name not feel uncomfortable, but it is also more appropriate.
Sean Connery, Stallone, Eastwood, and Morgan Freeman are all starring this time.
It can be said that in addition to Bruce Lee, her "big names" have all gone into filming.
Before filming "Flags of the Fathers", Catherine asked Bruce to transfer a lot of employees of the umbrella company. Especially the soldiers who lived through the Battle of the Pacific Ocean and the Battle of Iwo Jima.
Compared to "Wasteland" and "Red Alert", "Banner of the Fathers" does not require that much investment.
In order to improve herself, Catherine even asked the employees in detail about the course of the Battle of Iwo Jima, and then took her own script, showed them it, and asked them one by one. Then, there was a script that was handed over to several of the leading actors. ,
It seems that these leading actors are very satisfied with this script.
Eastwood in particular.
"That's a good script."
This is his heartfelt emotion for this script.
- Of course, in history, the director of this film was Eastwood.
First of all, it's the set.
In New Mexico, it's not too difficult to set up a battlefield similar to Iwo Jima.
However, the set takes time after all, and Catherine simply put the later plot to the front to shoot.
"Okay, now it's the first act!"
The movie that was hurriedly launched has finally started filming.
This is the scene where the protagonists have just returned from the battlefield and then accepted various media propaganda, and several of them are future celebrities, such as Sean Connery and Eastwood, who are all old actors, so this scene turned out to be over once. However, to be on the safe side, Catherine still filmed it twice.
Then, it's time for the next scene.
The filming of the film is actually piecemeal, not continuous, as seen in the theater. That's just because of the effect of the editing.
The progress was fast, and at the end of the day, the progress was well over twice as expected.
"Click."
Elsa placed the cup of black tea on the table, and Catherine took a breath of relief.
"Elsa, do you want to make a movie?" Catherine asked suddenly.
"Making a movie?"
Elsa looked at Catherine, but didn't know what to say.
"I don't know, but I love watching movies."
Yes, Elsa's only hobby.
"Maybe you can give it a try?"
Catherine asked with interest, but Elsa shook her head.
Although Elsa can usually maintain a very calm appearance, Catherine knows that this is the other party's training, in fact, Elsa belongs to the type that is very timid. If Elsa is allowed to act, maybe it can really be, but I'm afraid that this little girl who is about the same age as herself will be frightened.
As she spoke, Catherine suddenly noticed a young man.
He was running diligently on the set, but he wasn't George Lucas.
"Call him here." It just so happened that Lucas was nearby, so Catherine told him so.
Then the young man came.
"Hello, Miss Edson."
The other party looks polite.
"Hello, you look very hardworking." Catherine said.
Maybe the other party is not a famous person, but Catherine still admires hard-working people, of course, provided that the other party is not stupid.
"Thank you."
"Are you a college student who is here for a part-time job?" Catherine asked.
"I'm sorry, I originally wanted to go to film school in Long Beach, but because of my C grades, I never got accepted, and then I came here."
The other party scratched his head embarrassedly.
"You're the Eagles?"
George Lucas looked at each other, but suddenly said something like this.
……
Guess who this young man is?
