Chapter 10 Create Panic

As if he couldn't believe the number he heard, Kara was stunned, "Are you crazy, Murphy!"

"You know it's impossible.n∈" Kara exhaled, then turned to look at the screen, "How much?"

Murphy also knew that no TV station could buy a homicide news video for $100,000. It was only a rich man who died, not a celebrity like Tom Hanks or Spielberg.

The price just now was more like a test. Murphy pulled over a chair and sat opposite Carra, "Fifty thousand dollars!"

Kara didn't even look at him, "Time is tight, don't joke, Murphy, how much does it cost."

Murphy repeated in an extremely serious and serious tone, "Fifty thousand dollars!"

"It's impossible." Kara's eyes turned back from the screen to Murphy, and her light blue pupils looked unusually bright, "I need a number of actual points."

"I gave you two." Murphy was obviously not joking, and said again, "Fifty thousand dollars!"

The expression on Kara's face gradually disappeared, "Five thousand dollars, this is the highest number I can give."

Murphy shook his head directly and said in a reminder tone, "This time the person who died was not a black man, nor a Mexican immigrant, but a very wealthy white man!"

He deliberately increased the tone of the 'white', "The extremely rich white man was shot dead in his own mansion, and a housewife died on the floor of the bedroom! I know you, Kara."

Looking straight at the pair of bright light blue eyes, Murphy said quickly, "I know how excited you are when you see the video, and I know that it is definitely more than $5,000 for you!"

With his right hand, Kara stood up, circled Murphy, returned to the front, and said condescendingly, "Ten thousand dollars."

Murphy knew that 50,000 dollars was impossible, so he made a concession, "Forty thousand dollars!"

Karamon is expressionless, "Ten fifteen thousand dollars!"

"Thirty-five thousand dollars..."

"Twenty thousand dollars..."

"Thirty thousand dollars!" Murphy stood up, taking advantage of his height, he looked down at the woman opposite him slightly, "Thirty thousand dollars!"

"No..." Kara took the initiative to take a step back and used the distance to get the eyes of both sides back to the same level. "This is impossible. Without this precedent, 20,000 US dollars is my highest bid. I can't put all the expenses of a month on your video."

"Okay." Murphy reached out and pulled out the data cable, took back his storage disk, and walked directly to the office door without looking at Kara. "This business seems to be impossible."

"What are you going to do?" Carra's slightly rushing voice sounded from behind, "Where are you going to?"

Murphy turned around and pointed to the direction of the Disney building to the west, "Go to ABC TV Station. I contacted the people there before coming here, and they were very interested."

Speaking of this, he looked directly at Kara, "Do you know, Miss Fis, I have always regarded you as the most reliable partner. Other TV stations are offering a lot of money to ask for this video, but I came to you first because I think it is worth it. It can help your career and get the right rewards."

These words are deeply affectionate, but Kara curled her lips without a trace. How credible is the words of those who dare to shoot such videos?

She is not a little girl full of fantasy.

“The director of the ABC News Department has contacted me many times.”

Seeing that Kara was still thinking, Murphy continued to speak nonsense, "They will pay a higher price, it's enough time for me to drive over now."

He turned around and was about to leave, and Cara finally couldn't help but yelling, "Stop, Murphy!"

Murphy turned around and stood at the door to look at Kara. Kara put her hands on her chest, changed another expression on her face, and her tone began to soften, "I have worked together for so long, I thought we were friends long ago. Do you want to treat your friends with this attitude?"

Murphy rolled his eyes, "If the TV station belongs to you, I'd like to give it for free."

He looked at Kara's towering chest and delicate face, "If that's the case, I'm willing to provide you with any news videos to express my affection for you."

Pretending to not hear these seemingly sincere nonsense, but actually lies, Kara took a deep breath, "I will go crazy by pressing 30,000 dollars on one news."

The other party's attitude and tone had loosened, and Murphy, who had the advantage, added another fire, "I think you have forgotten that the criminal has escaped and is still at large, lingering in the crowd. Those with family members, especially those living in the suburbs who think they are safe, will be nervous and unable to sleep and will continue to pay attention to the progress of this matter."

Murphy picked up the storage disk and shook it, "This video will make the audience turn to Channel 6 and follow your show for a long time."

Kara was silent for a while, and finally nodded slowly.

But Murphy's request did not end there. Some things were considered on the way to come, "I treat you as a friend, Kara. I also like your dedicated attitude, but you have to know that 30,000 dollars is not my only request."

Looking at Murphy with a surprised look, Kara seemed to have just met him.

"When you broadcast this video..." Murphy emphasized, "I asked the announcer to introduce my work and put out subtitles to let the audience know that this comes from my company - Stanton Studio! A very professional video production company!"

He can't be a free journalist forever. As long as he has funds, he will definitely turn to the film industry. This can be said to be an opportunity for publicity.

Cara looked at Murphy and couldn't say a word.

It was not until now that she realized that this young man, like himself, also had a strong career aspiration and did whatever it took to it.

After saying those words, Murphy approached Kara and raised his hand, "How is it? Can the deal be completed?"

Although I really want to slap hard on this face without any expression on the other side to see how thick his face can be, Kara really needs that video very much. Just as he said, it is a weapon that can attract audience attention for a long time and increase the ratings of the program!

Raising one hand, Cara slapped Murphy's hand, "That's it, the deal."

The two sides reached an agreement. After Kara called her superiors again, Murphy received a check of 30,000 US dollars before waiting for too long. However, he did not leave, but stayed in the editorial room of the TV station, waiting for the news to be broadcast.

After this news was broadcast, he had more work to do.

Time slowly approached six o'clock in the morning. With the ringing of the bell, the morning news of Channel 6 kicked off. Murphy stood in the corner that was not in trouble and looked carefully at Kara, wanting to see how this woman played this video out.

"Double shot, close-up of the two-person camera number one." Kara stood in front of the workbench and issued a skillful command, "Prepare the big-word title I want, it's 'Bloody House', don't make a mistake!"

Murphy held his hands in his chest and looked over there with interest. Although he had provided a lot of news videos before, this was the first time he was behind the scenes of watching the news program.

"Last night, a house-in-home robbery occurred in the Santa Monica Valley, and four people have died now..."

The news switched to the video. As soon as the camera started, the female announcer cooperated with the subtitles and quickly said, "This video is exclusively purchased from Stanton Studio on Channel 6, which is a professional company that produces videos."

Hearing this, Murphy couldn't help laughing. The TV station made appropriate edits to the playback screen, and some too sensitive content was also processed. However, the bloody and exciting screens still appeared in the news program in some clever ways to stimulate the audience's attention.

During the playback, Kara repeatedly asked the announcer to emphasize the brutality of this case and the criminals were still at large, and they might commit crimes again at any time...

Even if he is not an expert, Murphy can see that Kara is using the method of creating panic to increase the attractiveness of the show.

As for whether it will really cause panic, Murphy will not care, Kara will not care, and the TV station will not care, otherwise they will not leave the police and the victims alone, and will be so warped for such a long time for the price of the video.

What Cara cares about the ratings of the show, and Murphy is concerned about how to use this news to bring high income to herself.

"It's really cruel, so serious violence spread to the highest and safest neighborhoods in Los Angeles, and criminals are at large..."

The news ended after another emphasis on the cruelty of the case and the escape of the criminals, and reminded the audience to pay attention to the latest developments.

"Insert the advertisement." As soon as Kara finished the order, the phone in the editorial room rang, and she immediately picked up the microphone, "This is Kara Fis."

“Good done, Kara!”

This is the voice of a senior executive of the TV station, "very wonderful, very attractive news."

After putting down the phone, Kara was in a very good mood. After completing this episode, she turned to look at the corner at the first moment. The bastard was still standing there with a very proud expression on her face, as if she had done something amazing just now.

After thinking about it, Kara walked over and said unceremoniously, "Why haven't you left yet?"

Murphy shrugged and answered the question irrelevantly, "Excellent news, after you rendered it in words, I couldn't help but want to see how it will develop next."

Although he had a lot of opinions about Murphy, Carla still recognized his ability and even admired him. Being able to shoot such news videos cannot simply be attributed to luck.

"You've taken a good shot, too." Kara rubbed her eyebrows, "The photography technology has improved a lot compared to before."

"Thank you." Murphy completely ignored the curious gazes around him and said tentatively, "You should be off work time, right?"

Kara nodded slightly.
