"There's writing, but it's ......," Michael Amter shrugged.

Chen Tian looked directly at Michael Amter: "What do you think of your script?"

"Of course it's good. Michael Amter's voice grew louder.

"Hey Michael, your voice is quieter, people will think we're arguing, can I have a request? I want to see your script.

If I could, maybe I could make it, and of course you wouldn't be given up, and you would be the screenwriter of the film. ”

"Are you sure you're not kidding?"

"Dude, do you think I'm looking like a joke? But I can't make this film right away, and what James and I need to do now is sell 'Buried Alive' and make our second film at the same time. Chen Tian said truthfully.

If it is really the script of "Little Sunshine Beauty", he doesn't have eight million funds to shoot this film now, but he doesn't want to stagger this script that can shine at the Oscars, and there is nothing that can make his fame rise faster than winning the Oscar.

Michael Ambert nodded, he understood what Chen Tian said, and he had been selling this script for nearly two years, but he had never been able to sell it.

Some of the other scripts have been abandoned by him, but he has never had this script.

"It's not on me right now, but my office is not far away, so I'll take you to our editor-in-chief to discuss the possibility of cooperation, and then show you my script by the way. ”

"OK, excuse me. ”

Chen Tian and Wen Ziren followed Michael Amter to their feet, and the headquarters of the World News Weekly was not far from the café.

Soon the three of them came to the "World News Weekly" newspaper, which is not big but has all kinds of organs.

"That's where we work, that position is mine, and this is Mark Miller, who is the most talented guy in our newspaper. If you're a loyal reader, you'll know his name. Michael Amter introduced them one by one.

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

"This is our editor-in-chief, Gray Pope, Mr. Gray, this is the Scarlett Johansson News actor Justin Chan who covered yesterday, and this is his partner James Win.

They're filmmakers, and they want to talk to us about cooperation, and you guys talk about it slowly, and I'll go out first. With that, Michael Amter closed the office door and walked out.

"You two may be seated, but I heard you right? Is it to cooperate, not to hold us accountable?" said Gray Pope with a laugh.

Gray Pope looks like a white man in his fifties, full of wealth, and his smile gives him a cute feeling.

"Yes, Michael is not wrong, we are indeed working together, and I would like to ask you to continue with the reporting like yesterday, and of course I have asked Scarlett herself to agree on this. ”

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

"It's the crew's costumes, but not in the crew. ”

Gray Pope laughed, "So the cooperation you're asking for is actually for the purpose of promoting the movie, right?"

Chen Tian is familiar with Gray Pope's smile, because this smile is often the smile when they think they are in a good position and trying to fight for more benefits.

"That's right, this publicity does revolve around the current film, Mr. Gray, do you want to ask us to charge a cooperation fee?" Chen Tian simply took the initiative to bring it up.

As is customary, any film is indispensable in the pre-release promotion, and the total cost of being on some low-grade print media or newspaper is about $20,000.

And if you want to be in a newspaper of the level of the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times, each of them will cost tens of thousands of dollars.

"Yes, it's our rule, we're newspapers but not philanthropists, and you're not here for charity, are you?" said Gray Pope, still smiling.

"It sounds reasonable, but I think we're a win-win, and I think Mr. Gray knows that your sales can't compare to the top, and the chances of getting back to the top are too small, and I think you know better than we do. ”

Chen Tian's words stabbed Gray Pope's sore feet, although the circulation of "World News Weekly" is still hundreds of thousands, but 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, and sometimes the quality of articles decreases in order to publish them, and it is this decline that leads to a decrease in sales.

"Imagine this, Mr. Gray. When Scarlett was interviewed by reporters about her alien abduction, she deliberately dodged her answer and even revealed something that couldn't help but be reminiscent. Chen Tian said with a smile, "I think as the editor-in-chief you should know very well." ”

"Continue that kind of reporting?" Gray Pope was moved, and indeed as Chen Tian said, if Scarlett showed that 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.

"Honestly, we didn't look for you because you were the only ones who could help us report, there were a lot of newspapers willing to cover it, and even they had a ......"

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

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

At the moment, he had to hold back, because he had no doubt that some media outlets were willing to spend dollars on top of their successful stories to buy news about them, which would become a stepping stone for others.

"Mr. Gray, to be honest we don't have that idea without your coverage, so we have feelings for you, and I'll be planting your ads in future videos, and I'm not going to charge you. ”

Gray Pope looked at the sincere Chen Tian in front of him, and was very disdainful in his heart, in his opinion, the so-called feelings were bullshit.

And Wen Ziren on the side admired Chen Tian even more, he didn't expect things to turn around in an instant.

Not only can they achieve the initial idea of building momentum with the help of "World News Weekly", but they can also take cash from here, although it will not be much, but for them who lack funds, every penny is excellent.

"Ten thousand dollars, that's the most we can pay, and I want you to be the talk. ”

Chen Tian said with a smile: "Of course, I am a person who talks about integrity. ”

"How to write news, you can find Michael or Mark later, and they will definitely write what you want, if nothing else......"

"Xie Luxie, Mr. Gray, then we will go out first. Chen Tian stood up and shook Gray Pope's hand.

Chen Tian still found Michael Amter to cooperate, and the specific news will be shaped around the thrill of Scarlett Johansson's night.

The video materials in their hands are enough for the imagination of "World News Weekly", and enough for them to portray this incident as realistic.

Chen Tian took a sip of coffee: "Finally finished working, and it was much easier all of a sudden." ”

"You just said you wanted to read my script, and this is the script I wrote, but can I tell me what your script is that moved Scarlett?"

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

Chen Tian took the script handed over by Michael Amter, and the script was written "LittleMissSunshine" (Little Sunshine Beauty).

Wen Ziren frowned, in his opinion, this script was terrible, and he had the urge to throw it away after reading the beginning.

Chen Tian knew that Wen Ziren frowned for what he did, if it weren't for the details of the Dao, Chen Tian would also think that this script was not worthy of the name.

Michael Amter, who was sitting opposite, looked at Chen Tian and Wen Ziren's expressions, and disappointment filled his whole body at once.
