Chapter 24 The name is not worthy of the name

"There's writing, but..." Michael Amrt shrugged.

Chen Tian looked straight at Michael Amrt: "What do you think of your script?"

"Of course it's good." Michael Amrt's voice suddenly became louder.

"Hey Michael, your voice is a little bit smaller, and others will think we are arguing, can I have a request? I want to see your script.

If it is really possible, maybe I can shoot it, of course you won’t be given up, you will be the screenwriter of this film.”

"Are you sure you're not kidding?"

"Brother, do you think I'm joking? But I can't shoot this video as soon as possible. What James and I need to do now is to sell "Buried Live" and prepare to shoot our second film at the same time." Chen Tian said truthfully.

If it was the script of "The Little Beauty of Sunshine", he would not have eight million yuan to shoot the film now, but he didn't want to stagger the script that could shine in the Oscars. There is nothing that can make his fame rise faster than winning the Oscar Little Golden Man.

Michael Ehm nodded. He understood Chen Tian's statement, and he had been selling this script for nearly two years, but he had never been able to sell it.

He has given up some other scripts, but he has never had this script.

"It's not on me now, but my office is not far away. I just happened to take you to meet our editor-in-chief to discuss the possibility of cooperation, and then show you my script."

"OK, please trouble you."

Chen Tian and Wen Ziren stood up with Michael Amrt. The headquarters of World News Weekly is not far from this cafe.

Soon the three of them came to the World News Weekly newspaper, which was not big but had all the internal organs.

"This is where we work, that location is mine, this one is Mark Miller, the most talented one in our newspaper. If you are our loyal readers, you will definitely know his name." Michael Amrt introduced one by one.

The newspaper people were also very curious, and Michael Amrt brought two Asians.

"This is our editor-in-chief, Mr. Gray, Mr. Gray, the lead actor Justin Chen, who we reported yesterday on Scarlett Johnson News, and this is his partner James Win.

They are filmmakers and want to talk to us about cooperation. You guys talk slowly and I'll go out first." As he said that, Michael Amrt took the office door and walked out.

"Please sit down, but did I hear it wrong just now? Do you want to cooperate? Instead of holding us accountable?" Gray Pope said with a smile.

Gray Pope looks like a white man in his fifties, and he gives people a silly look when he smiles.

"Yes, Michael was not wrong. We are indeed working together. I would like to ask you to continue the report like yesterday. Of course, I have asked Scarlett's own consent for this."

"Just heard Michael say that you are filmmakers, so were those photos taken by the crew yesterday, right?"

"It's the costume of the crew, but not in the crew."

Gray Pope laughed: "Then the cooperation you are asking for is actually for the purpose of promoting the movie, right?"

Chen Tian is very familiar with Gray Pope's smile, because such smiles are often the smile they think they are in a favorable position and try to win more benefits.

"That's right, this promotion does revolve around the current film. Mr. Gray, would you like to ask us for the cooperation fee?" Chen Tian simply took the initiative to mention it.

According to convention, any video is essential for pre-release promotion. If you put some low-end graphic media or newspapers, the total cost will be about 20,000 US dollars.

If you want to go to newspapers of the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times, each one will cost tens of thousands of dollars.

"Yes, this is our rule. We are newspapers but not philanthropists, and you are not here for charity, aren't you?" Gray Pope still smiled.

"It sounds reasonable, but I think we are a win-win situation. I think Mr. Gray also knows that your sales are no longer comparable to the peak, and the possibility of returning to the peak is too small. I think you must know the reason better than us."

Chen Tian's words stung Grey Pope's pain in his feet. Although the circulation of World News Weekly is still hundreds of thousands, it can no longer be compared with the peak and is still showing a downward trend year by year.

The main reason for the downward trend is that it is not easy to write a large amount of news. Sometimes the quality of articles will decline because of this. It is this decline that leads to a decrease in sales.

"Mr. Gray, imagine what it means when Scarlett deliberately dodges her answers about alien kidnapping when interviewing reporters about her question of alien kidnapping." Chen Tian said with a smile, "I think you should be very clear as the editor-in-chief."

"Continue to report like that?" Gray Pope was moved. It was indeed as Chen Tian said. If Scarlett showed an attitude of neither admitting nor denying it, then it would have a stimulating effect on their sales.

Chen Tian waved his hand: "Yes, continue to report like that, and we will give some information, but..."

"But what?" Gray Pope looked at Chen Tian.

"To be honest, we didn't look for you because only you can help us report. There are many newspapers willing to report on this, and they even made it..."

Chen Tian shrugged, and although he didn't say anything, Gray Pope already understood what Chen Tian wanted to express.

Gray Pope was a little angry. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to charge, but he didn't expect that he would be charged by the young Asian man in front of him.

At this moment, he had to hold back because he had no doubt that the media would be willing to spend dollars on their successful reporting to buy their news, and that they would become stepping stones for others.

"Mr. Gray, I honestly don't have any reports about you, so we have feelings for you, and I will implant your ads in future videos and I won't charge you."

Gray Pope looked at Chen Tian who was sincere in front of him and felt very contemptuous. In his opinion, the so-called feelings are bullshit.

Wen Ziren, who was standing aside, admired Chen Tian even more. He didn't expect that things would turn around in an instant.

Not only can we achieve the initial idea of ​​using the World News Weekly to build momentum, but we can also take away cash from here. Although it won’t be much, every penny is excellent for them who lack funds.

"Ten thousand dollars, this is the most reward we can give, and I hope you keep your word."

Chen Tian smiled and said, "Of course, I am an honest person."

"How to write news specifically, you can find Michael or Mark later. They will definitely write what you want, if it's okay..."

"Thank you, Mr. Gray, then we'll go out first." Chen Tian stood up and shook hands with Gray Pope.

Chen Tian still asked Michael Amrt to cooperate, and the specific news would be shaped around Scarlett Johnson's thriller that night.

The video materials in their hands are enough to use World News Weekly to exert their imagination and enough to describe this matter incredibly true.

Chen Tian took a sip of coffee: "I finally finished my work and I felt much more relaxed all of a sudden."

"You just said you wanted to read my script. This is the script I wrote, but can I know what your script that touched Scarlett?"

"Of course, but I don't have a script now. You can leave me an email and send it to you when I go back."

Chen Tian took the script handed over by Michael Amrt, and the script was written on it "Little Miss Sunshine".

Wen Ziren frowned. In his opinion, the script was terrible. He had the urge to throw it away at the beginning.

Chen Tian knew why Wen Ziren frowned. If he hadn't known the details, Chen Tian would have thought that this script was not worthy of its name.

Michael Amrt, who was sitting opposite, looked at Chen Tian and Wen Ziren's expressions, and was suddenly filled with disappointment.
