Chapter 11 Getting Started and

Hang up, Scarlett Johnson looked at himself in the mirror: "shit!"

He threw down his phone and ran directly into the dressing room, quickly tidy up his hair and then put on simple makeup.

Chen Tian, ​​who is in Los Angeles, walked into Mike Ben's office: "Can you borrow a computer to use it? You can now video call with her, and I think it will definitely solve your concerns."

"Really? That's really great." Mike Ben also got in a good mood.

Judging from the script, the lighter plays an extremely important role in this drama. With the existence of Scarlett Johnson, the promotional effect is no less than that of a big investment advertisement.

After logging into his MSN account, Chen Tian added Scarlett's account and soon waited for a response.

Seeing Scarlett appear on the screen, Mike Ben was basically relieved. When he received a positive reply from Scarlett, he immediately agreed to the ad implant.

"I think it's OK for us to implant, but you should also know that our implant is not simple. We are willing to pay as much as you ask."

"Of course, I know all this, I have an offer, what do you think?"

"Please say?"

"You pay $100,000 in advance first, and then the film can be successfully released and the box office reaches $10 million. You pay $500,000, and you pay $1 million to $20 million. For every 10 million increase, you pay $500,000 more. What do you think?"

"Pay $100,000 first?"

Chen Tian nodded: "Yes, then based on this, we will determine the subsequent investment based on the box office effect. I think this method should be very good. Even if the box office does not meet expectations, I think 100,000 US dollars is enough to gain the advertising effect you want."

Before traveling through time, Chen Tian knew that although "Burning Live" had a good reputation and evaluation, the promotion of the masters could still have a final box office of 22 million US dollars.

Now that he has modified this video, he has replaced the protagonist Chen Tian and didn't know what the final box office will be. For Chen Tian, ​​the most urgent task is to get the funds.

He is familiar with how much it costs to implant Hollywood advertising. Needless to say, $100,000 can't buy a single shot in blockbusters, even in small investment films of 10 million. Faced with such a cheap fee, he believes Mike Ben would not reject his proposal.

Just like Chen Tian thought, Mike Ben really didn't expect to spend just $100,000 to get it done, so how could he disagree: "I think I have no reason to refuse. We will also make customized models based on your movie needs and requirements, and we will help the film promote it!"

"Thank you very much." Chen Tian shook hands with Mike Ben, and the big stone in his heart also fell. With the funds, the next step will be much smoother.

After signing the agreement, Chen Tian left Zippo with his agreement and a check of 100,000 US dollars.

After leaving Zippo, Chen Tian went straight to BlackBerry's RIM company. Although Chen Tian didn't pay much attention to things other than the movie, he also knew about BlackBerry phones.

He once used BlackBerry phones and also knew that BlackBerry once had a market share of nearly 50% in North America.

However, after the rise of Android and Apple, BlackBerry went downhill, but in 2003, BlackBerry was reaching its peak.

"Yes, I persisted for about ninety minutes when the power supply showed insufficient power, and I kept calling. What could the audience imagine when they saw this?"

Chen Tian glanced at the three people in front of him, who were arranged by BlackBerry to be responsible for the advertising implantation negotiation.

"Any time the most trustworthy thing is BlackBerry. Can other phones achieve such long standby time? BlackBerry has the potential to save your life in a dangerous situation.

Although it is not as exaggerated as in the script in reality, we always encounter when the phone is running low on battery.

You can imagine that you have an urgent matter, such as an important negotiation, a family emergency call or you need police rescue, and your mobile phone is running out of power if it is insufficient, and two mobile phones are placed in front of you, one is BlackBerry and the other is Nokia. What will the audience choose after watching this movie? I think everyone will definitely not choose the wrong one."

Chen Tian said that was right, and it was this that impressed the three people in charge of the negotiations in Blackberry.

In the end, BlackBerry, which took on a more important role, accepted the advance payment requested by Chen Tian like Zippo, but the advance payment of BlackBerry was 100,000 US dollars more than Zippo.

Chen Tian, ​​who walked out of RIM Los Angeles, looked up at the sky. He didn't expect the advertising implantation journey to be so smooth. This was a bit beyond his expectations. He thought he needed to go to Plan B and Plan A to be completed directly.

The blue sky should be a sign of his good mood at the moment. At the beginning, he wanted to apply for the equipment from NanCanada, and Scarlett had zero pay.

In this way, the cost required from filming to filming after completion of editing is almost the film, and the less is almost negligible.

At this moment, he had an initial investment of 300,000 US dollars, and he could use this money at will.

Of course, the premise is that he needs to shoot "Buried Live", as long as it is filmed, the money will be entirely his.

His original budget was not to mention 300,000 US dollars, not even 10,000 US dollars. For Chen Tian, ​​the 300,000 US dollars was his solid first step in his new life.

"You actually did it. You could easily do it with an investment of 300,000 US dollars. Chen, you are my idol." Although 300,000 US dollars is a very small number for filming, the investment of 300,000 US dollars still made Wen Ziren admire him from the bottom of his heart.

"Now is not the time to praise me. I said yesterday that I wanted to ask you for help. You promised me, and you can't escape.

Now we need to determine the shooting equipment, props and venues.

There is no problem with props. ZIPPO and RIM will provide us with lighters and mobile phones. Other small props can be bought in supermarkets. The only thing you need is a coffin..."

Wen Ziren interrupted Chen Tian: "You don't need to buy this, unless you need to use it next time. And even if you buy it, you can confirm where you want to put it? We can rent one."

"Of course, if I buy it, I will consider putting it in your place." Chen Tian said with a smile.

"I don't mind giving me a sip in fifty years, but not now." Wen Ziren said with a smile.

"As for shooting equipment, my idea is to apply for equipment use to the school. The shooting equipment of the University of Southern California is enough to cope with our shooting, so that we can save a lot of money."

"Oh, you're such a stingy guy, but I agree with your idea. The most important thing now is the venue, and we can handle other scenes in the later stages.

The key is that we need a lot of sand. If buying it directly is not cost-effective, I think the battlefield should be a good choice.

We also only need to pay a certain rental fee. After all, we did not take away the sand and just used it temporarily."

"Yes, that's a good idea."

Chen Tian and Wen Ziren discussed the matters they noticed during the shooting and then discussed how to control the shots during the shooting.
