If Chen Tian chooses what is the most important thing in Hollywood besides the director, then Chen Tian will choose a big-name screenwriter without hesitation.

In Chen Tian’s opinion, no matter how appealing an actor is, it needs to be built on excellent scripts one by one. 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.

An excellent director can maximize the effect of the movie from shooting, costumes, actors, etc., so a big-name screenwriter is the basis for maximizing the effect of the movie.

No matter how good the director is, he has no good scripts, no matter how good the film is filmed, it cannot hide the paleness of the movie.

A good script means good creativity, which is particularly important for any film, especially the niche path Chen Tian chose to walk from independent production.

In the mature Hollywood industry, the production of film scripts is assembled.

After one person finishes the script, it is handed over to another person to modify and supplement. Another 1-2 screenwriters are responsible for overall coordination.

This process is almost one-way, and the screenwriters responsible for specific writing work independently.

Some people may just add a few jokes or supporting roles, while others may have to be pushed down and rewritten.

After multiple rounds of deletion and modification, many screenwriters could no longer find what they wrote when the film was released.

Most of the screenwriters who were finally named to the main creators are the coordinators of script production and a big-name screenwriter who is responsible for grasping the general direction or finalizing the script.

The short brown-yellow hair on the top of his head, royal blue eyes, and a smile on his lips. Michael Amrt, who has a typical European and American white figure, is such a big-name screenwriter.

Chen Tian is not sure what Michael Amrt does before he succeeds, but he knows that Michael Amrt will win the Oscar for Best Original Script in three years with the script "The Little Beauty of Sunshine".

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

Like most independent films, this "Sunny Little Beauty" eventually came out through the St. Denis Film Festival and received great praise after its release in Sundance.

Overnight, major publishers threw hydrangeas, and finally Fox Searchlight bought the issuance rights for $10.5 million that broke the St. Dennis record.

After the release of "The Little Sunshine Beauty", it won nearly US$100 million worldwide box office, and won two gold medals at the 79th Academy Awards. It was nominated for two important awards: Best Picture and Best Supporting Actress.

The script of the film comes entirely from Michael Amrt alone and does not belong to Hollywood assembly line production, so he has also embarked on the path of top Hollywood screenwriters.

He was the final signature of the screenwriters of super blockbusters such as Toy Story 3, "Lost Records", "The Hunger Games 2" and "Star Wars 7".

Chen Tian didn't expect that this top Hollywood screenwriter in later generations would commit to supermarket tabloids like World News Weekly to fabricate all kinds of incredible news.

Last night, he felt familiar when he saw the author's signature, but he never expected that it was Michael Amrt he knew.

Before Chen Tian traveled through time, the James Cameron crew invited Michael Amrt to make emergency revisions to the script before filming started.

Although Michael Amt in front of him was fourteen years younger than the one Chen Tian knew and did not have the aura she had like later, Chen Tian still recognized it at a glance.

"Are you here to find me to pursue legal responsibility?" Michael Amrt, who was only 30 years old at this time, was even a little nervous.

He is the one with the best imagination in World News Weekly, and many of the outstanding manuscripts come from his ideas.

But 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 be sent to jail for this.

"No, it's not about holding you accountable." Chen Tian said with a smile, pushing the page opened in his hand to the center of the table.

“To be honest, I really want to know how you came up with it, and I really admire your creativity.

Throw away those damn other questions, and I think it's great just by looking at your reports. Can I understand that this is your talent?"

Wen Ziren, who was standing by, agreed with Chen Tian’s view. He is a loyal fan of World News Weekly, and his favorite is the report signed by the man in front of him.

Michael Amrt also felt that the two young Asians in front of him did not seem to be in trouble with him, and they relaxed a lot: "Thank you for your praise, maybe just like you said they are here in mine, and then I thought of it when I saw your photos."

"Man, honestly you should join the WGA (American Screenwriters Association) and not here, of course this is my personal suggestion, I think you should belong to that group, and maybe one day you will become a person like Robert McGee."

"Robert McGee?" Michael Amrt looked at Chen Tian, ​​"You are sure you are not kidding, he is the screenwriter leader."

"Why not, at least I don't think your creative talent should be wasted here.

Of course, you may also think that working here is good. You write manuscripts that you don’t have to be responsible for every day to exchange for the happiness of a million people. You may have a good manuscript fee, and you don’t have to have any work pressure.”

Michael Amrt laughed: "Actually, I am a member of the WGA, but I need to support my family more, and sometimes I will be recruited to take charge of a certain part of a script..."

"This is not what you want, right?" Chen Tian interrupted Michael Amrt.

"Yes, that's not what I want. Write down my hard-working ideas, but in the end you can't find your name even if you search the entire movie crew.

Just got a little bit of a pitiful commission, which seems far less than what I am now.”

Michael Amrt's finger fell on the lower right corner of the newspaper, where he signed it.

"Doesn't it look a bit ridiculous, does it?"

Chen Tian shook his head as he looked at the point Michael Amrt pointed.

"No, this is not ridiculous at all. We should be proud of everyone with dreams. I believe you will succeed one day."

"Will it succeed?"

"certainly."

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