As if unable to believe the number she heard, Kara froze for a moment, "Are you crazy, Murphy!" ”

"You know it's impossible." Kara let out a sigh and turned to the screen again, "How much?" ”

Murphy also knew that it was impossible for any TV station to pay $100,000 for a homicide news video, and that it was only a rich man who died, not a celebrity like Tom Hanks or Spielberg.

The price just now was more like a temptation, Murphy pulled a chair and sat across from Kara, "Fifty thousand dollars!" ”

Carla didn't even look at him, "Time is tight, don't be kidding, Murphy, how much is it." ”

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

"It can't be." Kara's eyes turned from the screen back to Murphy, her pale blue pupils looking unusually bright, "I need a number for the actual dots." ”

"I've got two of you." Murphy was clearly not joking, and once again said, "Fifty thousand dollars!" ”

The expression on Kara's face faded away, "Five thousand dollars, that's the highest number I can give." ”

Murphy shook his head directly and said in a reminding tone, "It's not blacks who die this time, nor Mexican immigrants, but very rich whites!" ”

He deliberately accentuated the tone of the 'white man', "Extremely wealthy white man, shot dead in his mansion, a housewife died on the floor of the bedroom!" I know you, Kara. ”

Looking directly into the pair of bright pale blue eyes, Murphy said quickly, "I know how excited you were when you saw the video, and I know that it's definitely more than five thousand dollars for you!" ”

With her right hand slapping the arm of her chair, Kara stood up, circled around Murphy, returned to the front, and said condescendingly, "Ten thousand dollars." ”

Murphy knew that $50,000 was impossible, and he also made a concession, "$40,000!" ”

Kara was expressionless, "Fifteen thousand dollars!" ”

"Thirty-five thousand dollars ......"

"$20,000 ......"

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

"No......" Kara took the initiative to take a step back, using the distance to bring the eyes of both parties back to the same level, "This is impossible, there is no precedent, $20,000 is my highest bid, I can't put all the cost of a month on your video." ”

"Okay then." Murphy reached out and pulled out the number of wires, took back his storage disk, and walked directly to the door of the office without looking at Kara, "This business doesn't seem to be going to work." ”

"What are you going to do?" Kara's slightly hurried voice sounded from behind, "Where are you going?" ”

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

At this point, he looked directly at Kara, "You know, Miss Feith, I've always considered you the most reliable partner, and other TV stations paid a lot of money for this video, but I came to you first, because I think it's worth it, it will help your career, and it will also allow me to get a proper return." ”

These words are deeply meaningful, but Kara pursed her lips without a trace, how credible are the words of someone who dares to shoot this kind of video?

She's not a fantasy girl.

"The head of ABC News has contacted me many times."

Seeing that Carla was still thinking about it, Murphy continued to say, "They're going to pay a higher price, and I'm in time to drive over now." ”

He turned around and was about to leave, but Carla finally couldn't help but yell, "Stop, Murphy!" ”

Murphy turned around and stood at the door looking at Kara, who clasped her hands on her chest, changed another expression on her face, and her tone began to soften, "After working together for so long, I thought we had been friends for a long time, do you want to treat friends with such an attitude?" ”

Murphy rolled his eyes, "If the TV station is your own, I'm willing to give it away for free." ”

He looked deliberately at Kara's towering chest and delicate face, "If that's the case, I'm willing to provide you with any news video as a way to show my affection for you." ”

Pretending not to hear the seemingly sincere, but actually lies and nonsense, Kara took a deep breath, "I'm going crazy to put $30,000 on a piece of news." ”

The other party's attitude and tone had loosened, and Murphy, who had the advantage, added another fire, "I think you have forgotten, the criminal has escaped, still at large, mixed in with the crowd, those who have families, especially those who live in the suburbs and 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 drive again and shook it, "This video will make viewers turn to Channel Six and follow your show for a long time. ”

Kara was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.

But Murphy's request didn't end there, some things were thought out on the way here, "I consider you a friend, Kara." I also like your dedication, but you know, $30,000 isn't my only request. ”

Looking at Murphy in surprise, Kara looked as if she had just met him.

"When you broadcast this video......," Murphy added, he added, "I'm asking the announcer to introduce my work and subtitle it so that the audience knows it's from my company, Stanton Studios!" A highly professional video production company! ”

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

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

Only now did she discover that this young man, like herself, also had a strong sense of professionalism, and she would not hesitate to pay any price for it.

With those words said, Murphy approached Carla and raised a hand, "How is it, is it okay to make a deal?" ”

Although I really want to slap the expressionless face on the other side to see how thick his skin can be, Kara really needs that video, as he said, it is a weapon that can attract the attention of the audience for a long time and increase the ratings of the show!

Raising a hand, Kara slapped Murphy's hand, "That's it, deal." ”

The two sides reached an agreement, and after Carla made another phone call to his superiors, Murphy didn't have long to receive a check for $30,000, but instead of leaving, he stayed in the station's newsroom and waited for the news to air.

He had more work to do after the news aired.

As the clock ticked to six in the morning, Channel Six's morning news kicked off with a bell ringing, and Murphy was standing in an unobtrusive corner, looking closely at Kara's side, wanting to see how the woman had made the video come to fruition.

"Double shot, close-up of two people in the first shot." Carla stood in front of her workbench and expertly commanded, "Get ready for the headline I want, it's 'House of Blood,' make no mistake!" ”

Murphy clasped his hands to his chest and looked over there with interest, although he had provided a lot of news videos before, but this was the first time to watch the behind-the-scenes manipulation of news programs.

"Yesterday night, a burglary occurred in the Santa Monica Valley, four people are currently dead......"

The news switched to the video, and as soon as the camera began, the female announcer cooperated with the subtitles typed out, and quickly said, "This video was bought exclusively by Channel 6 from Stanton Studios, a professional company that produces zuò videos. ”

Murphy couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, the broadcast footage was properly edited by the TV station, and some of the overly sensitive content was also processed, but the bloody and exciting images still appeared in some clever ways in the news program to stimulate the audience's eyeballs.

During the broadcast, Carla repeatedly asked the announcer to emphasize the brutality of the case and the fact that the culprit was still at large and could be repeated at any time......

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

As for whether it will actually 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 victim alone, and fight for the price of the video for so long.

Carla cares about the show's ratings, and Murphy focuses on how to use the news to generate high revenue for himself.

"It's really cruel, such a harsh violence has spread to the most upscale and safest neighborhoods in Los Angeles, and criminals are at large......"

The news came to an end after another emphasis was placed on the brutality of the case and the escape of the culprit, and the audience was reminded that the show would be tuned for the latest developments.

"Insert an ad." As soon as Carla finished giving the order, the phone rang in the editing room, and she immediately picked up the microphone, "This is Carla Fez." ”

"Well done, Kara!"

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

Putting down the phone, Kara was in a pretty good mood, and after finishing this episode, she immediately turned her head to look at the corner position, where the bastard was still standing there, with a smug expression on his face, as if he had just done something great.

After thinking about it, Kara walked over and said unceremoniously, "Why don't you leave yet?" ”

Murphy shrugged and replied, "Very good news, after you rendered it in words, I can't help but want to see what happens next." ”

Although she has a lot of opinions about Murphy, Kara still recognizes his ability, and even admires him a little, and being able to shoot such a news video must not be simply attributed to luck.

"You're doing a good job." Kara rubbed her eyebrows, "Photography has improved a lot compared to before. ”

"Thank you." Completely ignoring the curious gazes around him, Murphy said tentatively, "You should be at work time, right?" ”

Kara nodded slightly.

"I've heard that there's a nice Italian restaurant called Cabarit nearby." Murphy sent out an invitation, "Do you like Italian food, Kara." ”
