Michael Amrt glanced at Chen Tian and shook his head helplessly: "These are lines in the movie. I used to believe it very much. Now I am not completely disappointed, but I also know that dreams are always cruel.

I have written scripts and submitted manuscripts to countless companies. Every time I think it's good, but most of them have no reply.

Those who have responded basically gave me a pitiful fee, and at the same time they also hoped that I would give up the first screenwriter of the script. You don’t know what that feeling is. Now, although I am not ashamed of many people, I have also gained more recognition."

"Sorry, I have talked about so many irrelevant topics to you. By the way, I don't know what you are going to do. Is it just to identify with my creativity?"

"This is aside, Michael first, I have to tell you a problem that may not be aware of."

"Question?" Michael Amrt was puzzled.

"Do you know how many screenwriters around the world contribute to film companies every day? Especially the seven giants led by MGM, Sony and Fox.

Whether it is email or letters, there are not thousands or hundreds every day. In addition, there are various letters around the world every day, such as letters from movie fans or complaints, do you think they can read every manuscript carefully?

What is the chance of expecting them to reply to your emails from thousands of manuscripts? And most of the answers to you must be small companies, right?”

"Why do you know so much?" Michael Amrt had never considered these issues before. Most of his scripts were sent to big companies like Sony, Warner, and Disney.

Michael Amrt is with Scarlett Johnson based on the photos and looks very close, plus Scarlett's dress is obviously in the work clothes and is very bad.

Combining the two, he inferred that Chen Tian, ​​like Scarlett, should be an actor, so he knows so much: "Are you an actor?"

Chen Tian laughed: "No, I'm not an actor. Your analysis is not wrong. After all, I only have these few photos for you. It's normal for you to think I'm an actor."

As he said that, Chen Tian took out something from his pocket and put it in front of Michael Amrt.

"ohshit! You are actually a student."

Michael Amrt never expected that the Asian in front of him would be a student from the University of Southern California, which was far beyond his expectations.

“I am indeed a student, but I am about to graduate and now I am a person who strives for my dreams and I want to be a director.

This set of photos was taken after my crew finished work, and I am the screenwriter and director of this film. James Win is my partner for the time being, and we are planning to make a second film."

"Screenwriter, director? Are you going to do a second film?" Michael Amrt looked at Chen Tian, ​​who was more recognizable than most yellow people in the eyes of white and black people.

"You think I must have good luck or background, right? Otherwise, I would have some money to shoot movies, and I also hired Scarlett Johnson."

Michael Amrt wanted to say no, but he actually thought so.

"I'm not like that. I had only $1,000 on me at first, and then I got $500 from the crew and a maglev train ticket from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. That's all my money at the beginning.

I met James Win on the train, and I invited him to join my crew.

As for Scarlett Johnson, I gave her a script by chance. My luck made her move. She didn't ask for a penny for a movie, but I considered sharing her box office share.

In addition, all my shooting equipment comes from Nanka University, so I just need to pay for the film myself.

Kodak's 35MM film has a sensitivity of 500 yuan, and a plate of 400 feet costs USD 180, while a plate can be photographed for 4 minutes.

Since we had very few NGs, we only spent about 200 minutes of film, and finally we effectively imaged for 120 minutes. Then we edited it into 90 minutes, and all the film cost me about 10,000 US dollars.

We spent about 3,000 US dollars in total for props and other expenses during the shooting period, which is our entire expense, and 13,000 US dollars is the cost of my shooting this time."

"Don't you only have 1,500 US dollars? What about the other 1,150?"

Although Michael Amrt pointed out that Chen Tian's words were inconsistent, he was still shocked. He did not think that what Chen Tian said was lies at all.

He really couldn't imagine what kind of film he could shoot with $13,000, and it was a film movie, not a digital movie.

However, in comparison, what he cares more about is that the script actually touched Scarlett Johnson, who is in the rising period, and made Scarlett choose to join the franchise with zero pay.

"Yes, I seem to have used about 11,500 US dollars to pay, but in fact, I have $300,000 in capital at the shooting location." Chen Tian smiled as he looked at Michael Amrt with an angry expression.

"Don't be angry, I didn't lie to you, these are the truth.

But the 300,000 US dollars was not given by my family, but I received it with the script. My script impressed them, and then I got 100,000 and 200,000 from ZIPPO and BlackBerry respectively.

So it's not wrong to say that I completed all the shooting with only $1,500, and the rest belongs entirely to me. Once the movie is released and the box office reaches a certain foundation, I can get more from them."

"It's incredible, you're a great little guy."

"Hey Michael, I'm not a little guy. I just want to tell you that as long as you have a dream, you have a chance to succeed. Of course, it's all based on your efforts for it. Even if you fail, I don't think you will regret it, right?

If you keep doing this, when you get old, you will definitely regret why you didn’t try it with all your might.”

Chen Tian is like a brainwasher. Using his own experience, Michael Amrt and Wen Ziren are determined that it is possible as long as he works hard.

"Michael, to be honest, I came here today not to persuade you to fight for your dream again. In fact, I don't know that you were a screenwriter either.

Before I came, I just wanted to see if there was any possibility of working with you and your boss, and then promote my movie through you.

In this way, my movies can gain more attention and sell them at a better price. Of course, you can also use us to gain sales."

Michael Amrt pondered for a moment and threw other thoughts out of his mind. He didn't want Chen Tian's words to affect his current work.

"If it's a win-win situation, I don't think there will be any problems with the cooperation."

"Of course it's a win-win situation, but can I ask you a question?"

"uh-huh?"

"Are you still writing scripts?"

Chen Tian did not show any changes in expression, and looked like he continued to care about Michael Amrt. In fact, Chen Tian was not that great.
