On August 5, 1962, Monroe's body was found naked on her bed. The cause of death was a drug overdose.

But many people suspect that this matter may have something to do with the Kennedy brothers...

Catherine did not remember how Monroe died, but she was still shocked when she learned of her death.

But soon, another more practical thing made her invest all her experience - "DreamWorks Film Company" was about to be established!

Although Homan did not plan to return to Hollywood, he gave Catherine enough information.

In this way, Catherine's company will be finished by early August.

After the company was established, Catherine began planning her first movie - the Fallout series.

Catherine did not plan to adapt the "Fallout" novel into a movie, but started writing a separate script based on the entire wasteland.

But soon, Catherine realized that what she was about to do was a big project.

Catherine's current sufficient capital flow is around US$10 million.

But Catherine realized that the funds still seemed not enough...

But soon, Keseri's eyes lit up. She thought of a way -

Get sponsorship!

In "Fallout", there is a very famous comic magazine, and there is also an even more famous Quantum Cola.

What if the publisher of this comic is replaced by the famous American Marvel Comics? What if the publisher of Quantum Cola is replaced by the Coca-Cola Company?

Obviously, as long as the movie becomes popular, the sales of these two products will increase greatly! At least, their popularity will increase greatly!

Of course, if you really want to put your own products in the movie, then just pay for it...

In the United States, product placement in movies is already a fairly mature rule. Catherine's "Fallout" is selling like hot cakes. In addition, Catherine has already shot a small-budget film worth tens of millions of dollars. Although it cannot be said that it is

The box office is guaranteed, but it’s quite easy to get sponsorship fees.

In fact, although the "Fallout" series has been a big hit, it will probably take some time to really become popular. Now people just regard it as science fiction.

But on the other hand, people's uneasiness about nuclear war also prompted them to read this book. Many people are worried about their future.

The Cuban Missile Crisis will intensify people's current thinking.

——After all, this is the Cold War.

Negotiations with Coca-Cola did not take long - people were already familiar with it. However, regarding Quantum Cola, which appears throughout the article, Catherine was very open-minded and wanted 8 million US dollars. But Coca-Cola is not a fool, and both parties

I have been wrangling about this issue for a long time.

The matter was finally handed over to Bruce.

Now Bruce is like a snake oil. Wherever he is needed, he will be there.

Finally, the contract was finalized, and Coca-Cola paid an initial sponsorship fee of US$3 million. If the box office exceeded 10 million, it would pay another US$2 million. When the box office exceeded 25 million, it would pay another US$2 million.

Although it can't be called a timely help, the icing on the cake is still good.

Then came Marvel Comics. Catherine found DC Comics and Marvel Comics and asked them to bid.

Although Marvel Comics only had a sponsorship fee of 1 million in the end, it was still better than nothing.

Of course, it's not just about Coca-Cola and Marvel comics. There will be a lot of "pre-war" scenes in the film, so it is very simple for Catherine to find sponsors.

In any case, Catherine finally raised $10 million in funding, bringing the total funding to $20 million.

Once you have money, you will become an actor.

For the first protagonist, Catherine chose "the sexiest man in the world" - Sean Connery.

At this time, Sean Connery had just finished filming 007, and it was okay for the time being. It was easy to find him. Moreover, the era of superstars in Hollywood has not yet come, and the salaries of actors are very low, but the cost offered by Catherine was

It's already very high.

Sean Connery readily agreed.

After signing the contract with Sean Connery, Catherine went to look for the second leading actor non-stop——

The person she is going to find is Morgan Freeman.

Morgan Freeman, the future protagonist of the famous "Shawshank Redemption", has been nominated for an Oscar six times and won Best Supporting Actor.

It's just that in this era, he is still acting in stage plays.

Freeman moved to Los Angeles in the early 1960s to work at Los Angeles Community College. During this period, he also lived in New York and was a dancer at the 1964 New York World's Fair - now held every two years.

In 1967, Morgan Freeman performed on Broadway for the first time in the black version of the musical "I Love Matchmaker". Since then, he has traveled on Broadway and off-Broadway stages, from musicals, modern theaters to classical Shakespeare plays.

The variety of dramas and performances fully demonstrated Morgan Freeman's acting talents. After making a name for himself on Broadway, Morgan Freeman switched to the television industry in 1971, playing a role in a children's English teaching program on American Public Television.

Mr. "Read Well", during which he performed his first leading role in the movie "Who Said I Can't Drive a Rainbow". However, during the 1970s, Morgan Freeman's works were scattered on the big and small screens. These roles he played

It lacks connotation, has no shocking power, cannot give full play to Morgan Freeman's talents, and has no outstanding achievements.

Moreover, this Morgan Freeman is also a very intelligent man. He has publicly opposed the celebration of black history and will not participate in any related activities.

The so-called Black History Month refers to February every year to show respect for the history of African Americans and to praise the contributions black people have made to American cultural and political life.

But he said: "I don't need a Black History Month. Black history is American history." Morgan Freeman believes that the only way to end racism is to stop talking about it. He also noted that there is no so-called "White History Month"

.

Morgan Freeman once famously said: "I will stop calling you white, and I will ask you to stop calling me black."

Catherine wanted him to be her second male lead in "Wasteland".

After contacting Los Angeles Community College, Catherine quickly obtained Freeman's contact information and quickly contacted him.

Freeman was quite surprised when he heard that Catherine was going to make a movie by herself. At this time, Morgan Freeman, who was in his twenties, had not yet made his first movie "The Pawn Shop" in 1964, but he just

It was just a cameo, and now someone is asking him to make a movie? Be the protagonist?

Freeman had seen the amazing "Blair Witch", and he also paid a little attention to the 13-year-old girl who was said to have created a box office miracle. He knew that the other party was already a multi-millionaire, but he didn't know

She wants to make a movie now, and she will also find herself.

Moreover, Freeman is a black man.

These days, who would hire a black person to act?

In the eyes of most people, what are black people? Villains! Box office poison!

What's more, although Freeman's dream is to go to Broadway and make movies, but... how could such a dream come true happen to him?

Freeman was knocked unconscious by the big cake falling from the sky, but he felt that he still could not give up this opportunity, and finally agreed happily.

Although black people may not be able to do it, Catherine has different ideas. In fact, by the time the filming of this film is completed, it is likely that it will not be released until 1964 or 1965.

At that time, anti-racism and anti-war ideological trends were impacting American society.

——More importantly, that was the time when the hippie movement was rising to its peak.

Immediately afterwards, the third male protagonist Catherine was looking for was Bruce Lee...
