Chapter 98: The last days of 1964
October 1, 1964.
"Fallout 3" is released.
In the third part of Fallout, Catherine more insinuates the nuclear policy of the Cold War. Of course, in order to prevent herself from being frozen in Area 51 by the FBI or CIA, Catherine is still very careful.
Because of the popularity of TV series and movies, the sales of Fallout 3 are also quite good.
Incidentally, the war chess of "Wasteland" has also begun to sell well.
is nothing but the wasteland war chess series, which should be facing the middle class. Most of them are interested in this. They have enough time to understand the rich background of "Wasteland" and to taste the stories one by one.
Catherine has many stories in "Wasteland" war chess, and the ending of these stories is often open. But there are also stories that are limited to death, no matter how the ending develops, they can only be framed. And these stories can also make players feel their kind of good intentions to do bad things, and the kind of powerlessness that can't change the ending. This kind of thought and emotion can only be experienced by people belonging to the elite or close to this class.
Immediately afterwards, the paper book company also continued to sell "Harry Potter".
With the popularity of Harry Potter, the last release interval has become longer and longer to increase the sales of previous products. This is also a sales strategy.
But at this time, Catherine is still struggling on the set of "Red Alert".
The plan for the release of the novel was decided at the outset, but this "Red Alert" was made by Catherine on a temporary basis, and at the same time, she also asked for excellence, so Catherine had to work **** it. It must be completed before November, including submission for review, so that it can be released before Christmas.
In order to grab time, Catherine even started to promote the film almost as soon as the filming started.
Although it was for the Pentagon, Catherine paid much attention to the box office. If the box office was less than $70 million, she would definitely not do it.
While Catherine was busy filming, Jerry Sanders was concentrating the entire team to tackle single-chip technology.
The technology of Z80 cannot be overcome in a short time. Even if the theory is reached, the actual production is costly, but in terms of single-chip microcomputer, it is much simpler.
The so-called single-chip microcomputer is a kind of integrated circuit chip, which uses VLSI technology to integrate the central processing unit with data processing capabilities, CPU random access memory RAM, read-only memory ROM, various I/O ports and interrupt systems, timers/ Timer and other functions (may also include display drive circuit, pulse width modulation circuit, analog multiplexer, A/D converter and other circuits) integrated into a silicon chip to form a small and complete computer system.
In short, this should be an extremely simple computer that has been set up...
For example, in the future, washing machines and microwave ovens will generally adopt intelligent operating systems, which are controlled by single-chip microcomputers.
Make life simple and intelligent, most of which are the credit of the single-chip microcomputer. If there is no single-chip microcomputer, the people of the 21st century may still be in front of washing machines and microwave ovens.
And with a single-chip microcomputer, it means that the remote control of the TV can be made-this is the core of the remote control!
As the president of AMD in the original world that can compete with Intel, Jerry Sanders attaches great importance to this.
Historically, AMD has always run into a wall when it comes to seeking investment, because Intel has already sought out those venture capital merchants before them, but AMD has come so late that it has never been able to get the investment. So Sanders' talents cannot be fully demonstrated.
And at this time, Catherine finally returned to New York, and then gave the "Red Alert" momentum.
AB TV station began to broadcast red alert advertisements in a loop, with the ultimate special effects, wonderful storylines, and overwhelming fighting actions.
Of course, the approval is still needed.
The voluntary film classification system has not yet been established, but it is already fast. "Hays Code" has now lost most of the control period of the film. At this time, there are already many unapproved films secretly screened, but Catherine But I dare not do this, so a formality is still needed.
Although Catherine's investment this time is 25 million US dollars, everyone is not too cold about it. After all, the $20 million "Wasteland" comes first, and the $40 million "Cleopatra" is behind.
But Hollywood pays much attention to "Red Alert".
Although Katherine’s company may not have anything to do with Hollywood, those film and television companies also have eyes on Katherine’s DreamWorks.
The biggest gap between Catherine’s company and Hollywood is that Hollywood and Hei Dao are inextricably linked, but Catherine’s company, Hei Dao, dare not come to the door.
Although the Mafia in Italy has reached the point where it can be received by the Prime Minister, this is the United States.
Especially umbrella companies are also the defense supplier of the United States.
Because of "Cleopatra", the 20th Century Fox Company simply lost money. In the eyes of other Hollywood companies, they dare not make such a huge investment.
They are all looking forward to whether Catherine's new film will bring a turn for the entire film industry.
Moreover, the call for abolition of the "Hays Code" ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is also rising day by day, and the film industry is moving towards the future.
It was the Christmas schedule, and Catherine was finally relieved.
Then there was a moment of free time before the show, she decided to take Elsa to the house where she and Ada and the others lived, which was the villa.
"Here, I bought the villa with my friends. There is a swimming pool over there, and there is also a swimming pool over there..."
Catherine introduced the house to Elsa.
"This is an indoor swimming pool. Although it is completely transparent from the inside, it is a mirror from the outside! You look at the street on the opposite side. We can see those people, but they can't see here. There are also water temperature heating equipment, so you can swim in winter!"
"As for over there, it is the outdoor swimming pool, where you can sunbathe in the summer, and there are sand piles and barbecue equipment next to it, and you can have a bonfire party at night~"
It's just that Ida and the others seem to be away, which is a little regrettable.
The busiest among them is probably not Catherine, but Lily. On the SAT in November, she has no confidence at all, so she is still studying hard now...
"By the way, the third floor is our secret base. There are a lot of interesting equipment inside. Come on, let's go take a look!"
Catherine took Elsa and walked towards the third floor, opening the door with the key only they had.
At this time, it was dark inside, but in the panoramic theater, it was a big picture, just looking at that picture... Elsa blushed and Catherine was embarrassed.
"Kate, are you here?"
Lily smiled.
She was playing with the player, the book was thrown aside, the notebook was blank, and the cover was painted with a grimace.
