If Chen Tian was asked to choose what is the most important thing in Hollywood besides the director, then Chen Tian would not hesitate to choose a big-name screenwriter.

In Chen Tian's view, no matter how appealing an actor is, it also needs to be built on excellent scripts, and many big-name actors have changed from box office guarantee to box office poison.

It's not because their acting skills suddenly become bad, but because they lack a good script to support their acting skills.

A good director can maximize the effect of the film from shooting to costumes, actors and so on, so a big-name screenwriter is the basis for maximizing the effect of the movie.

No matter how good the director is, no matter how good his ability is, and there is no good script, no matter how good the film is, he can't hide the paleness of the movie.

A good script means a good idea, which is especially important for any film, especially the niche path that Chen Tian chose to take from independent filmmaking.

In the mature Hollywood industry, the production of movie scripts is assembly-line.

The script is written by one person and then handed over to another person to revise and supplement, and another 1-2 screenwriters are responsible for the overall coordination.

The process is almost one-way, and the writers in charge of the specific writing work independently.

Some people may just add a few jokes or supporting characters, while others may have to tear down and rewrite them all.

After many rounds of deletion and revision, many screenwriters could no longer find what they had written by the time the film was released.

Most of the screenwriters who were signed on the list of main creators were the coordinators of the script production, as well as a big-name screenwriter who was responsible for grasping the general direction or finalizing the script.

And the Michael Amter in front of him, with short brown and yellow hair on the top of his head, royal blue eyes, and a smile on the corner of his mouth all the time, has a typical European and American Caucasian figure, is such a big-name screenwriter.

It is not clear what Michael Amter did before his success, but he knew that Michael Amter would win the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay with the script of "Little Sunshine Beauty" three years later.

This film is also an independent production, but it is a big production among independent films, because the cost of the whole film is as high as 8 million.

Like most independent films, "Little Miss Sunshine" eventually came out through the St. Denis Film Festival and received great praise after its release at Sundance.

Overnight, major publishers threw hydrangeas at each other, and Fox Searchlight bought the rights to the distribution for a record $10.5 million.

In the end, "Little Sunshine Beauty" won nearly $100 million at the global box office after its release, and also won the Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor at the 79th Oscars, and was nominated for two important awards: Best Picture and Best Supporting Actress.

And the script of the film is completely from Michael Amter alone, and it does not belong to the Hollywood assembly line production, so he also went to the road of Hollywood's top screenwriter.

He was the screenwriter of "Toy Story 3", "Lost Record", "The Hunger Games 2" and "Star Wars 7".

Chen Tian didn't expect that this top screenwriter in Hollywood in the future would be committed to a supermarket tabloid like "World News Weekly" and fabricate all kinds of unbelievable news.

Last night, when he saw the author's signature, he felt familiar, but he never expected that it would really be Michael Amter, whom he knew.

Chen Tian: Before the crossing, James Cameron's crew was invited before filming started, and Michael Amter was in front of him to make urgent revisions to the script.

Although Michael Amter in front of him was fourteen years younger than the one Chen Tian knew, and did not have the same aura as he did later, Chen Tian still recognized it at a glance.

"Are you here to ask me for legal responsibility?" said Michael Amter, who was only 30 years old at the time, even a little nervous.

He is the most imaginative one in "World News Weekly", and many brilliant manuscripts come from his ideas.

But the previous news reports rarely involved real people, let alone a big star like yesterday, and he couldn't help but worry about whether he would go to jail for it.

"No, not to hold you accountable. Chen Tian said with a smile, and pushed the page of "The Goddess in Distress" in his hand to the center of the table.

"Honestly, I'd love to know how you came up with it, and I'm impressed by your creativity.

Throw away all those damn other questions, and I think your coverage is excellent, can I understand that it's your talent?"

Wen Ziren on the side agreed with Chen Tian's opinion, he is a loyal fan of "World News Weekly", and his favorite thing to read is the report signed by the man in front of him.

Michael Amtt also felt that the two young Asians in front of him really didn't look like they were looking for trouble, and the whole person relaxed a lot: "Thank you for your compliments, maybe they are here as you said, and then I thought of it when I saw your photos." ”

"Dude, honestly you should be in the WGA (Writers Guild of America) and not here, and of course that's my personal advice, I think you should belong to that group and maybe one day you'll be like Robert McGee. ”

"Robert McGee?" Michael Amter looked at Chen Tian, "Are you sure you're not joking, he's the lead screenwriter." ”

"Don't do anything for it, at least I don't think your creative talent should be wasted here.

Of course, it is also possible that you think it is good to work here, writing non-responsible manuscripts every day in exchange for the happiness of a million people, and taking what may seem like a good manuscript fee, and without any work pressure. ”

Michael Amter laughed: "Actually, I'm a member of the WGA, but I need to support my family more, and sometimes I'm hired to be in charge of a certain part of a script......"

"That's not what you want, is it?" Chen Tian interrupted Michael Amter.

"Yes, that's not what I wanted, to write down my painstaking thoughts, but you can't find your name after searching the entire film crew.

I only got a pitiful commission, which in my opinion is nowhere near as it is now. ”

Michael Amter's finger landed in the lower right corner of the newspaper, where he signed his name.

"Doesn't that seem ridiculous, does it?"

Chen Tian looked at the place Michael Amter was pointing at and shook his head.

"No, it's not ridiculous at all, we should be proud of everyone who has a dream, and I believe that you will succeed one day. ”

"Will it work?"

"Of course. ”

At this time, he suddenly realized that the script of "Little Sunshine Beauty" may still be in the hands of Michael Amter.
