Chapter 9 Let Scarlett Testify

Chen Tian is going to ZIPPO first and then RIM company, the first stop tomorrow.

However, before this, he had already prepared to raise funds for the poor and had also thought of alternative plans.

If RIM and ZIPPO do not agree to sponsorship, then find a replacement Nokia and another lighter manufacturer, Colibri.

Chen Tian, ​​who was lying on the chang, thought in his mind how to shoot the funds in place to make the best filming of his modified "Burning Live" and he hoped that the improved Burning Live will become better.

Chen Tian woke up at six o'clock the next morning. Grandma Wang was already 60 years old, just like most elderly people, she woke up early in the morning, so when Chen Tian was at home, she also got up as early as possible and made breakfast.

After breakfast, Chen Tian put the printed bound script and storyboard script into the file bag: "Grandma, I have something to do during the day today, so you can eat it yourself. When I come back tonight, I will buy groceries and cook."

"You go and do your business and be careful."

"I see."

BlackBerry's RIM company headquarters and Zippo mobile phone headquarters are neither in Los Angeles nor in Los Angeles. Chen Tian's goal today is the divisions of the two companies.

He took a bus to the Los Angeles branch of ZIPPO Company, and stood at the entrance of the building, Chen Tian tidied up his suit in front of the glass: "Chen Tian, ​​come on!"

"Hello, sir, may I ask?" Chen Tian had just entered ZIPPO company. The lady in a lady suit at the front desk asked with a professional smile.

"Beautiful Miss, I want to meet Mr. David Howard."

“Do you have an appointment?”

Chen Tian shrugged: "No, I don't have one, but I have a good plan for planning and publicity."

"I'm really sorry, although I let you in, please understand that this is my job and you didn't make an appointment."

Looking at the front desk with a look of embarrassment, "Can you please help me make a call to Mr. David Howard, just one call?"

"Okay, please wait." The front desk lady called.

"Please tell Mr. David that there is a gentleman here who wants to meet him, yes, he said he has a good plan for planning and publicity.

Yes, I got it, thank you.”

"He said that there is no need to bother Mr. David Howard, you can go to Mr. Mike Ben, the Minister of Publicity, and maybe he can help you."

Chen Tian thought about it and thought it was true. Since it was implanted in advertising, he should really look for the publicity department first, not to mention that the funds he asked for were not large: "Thank you, then how should I find him."

"Go to the third floor and you'll be the Propaganda Department, and then you just say that Mr. David Howard asked you to come."

"Thank you, beautiful lady." Chen Tian turned around and walked towards the elevator. When he came to the third floor, he expressed his purpose and was soon arranged to the reception room.

After waiting for almost ten minutes, a middle-aged white man with a big belly walked in.

"You are Justin Chen? The one who has a good publicity plan?" Mike Ben has no good impression of Asians. He doesn't think Chen Tian has any good publicity plan, and he doesn't think Zippo needs much publicity.

Chen Tian is not an idiot. Of course, he saw Mike Ben's perfunctory and disdain. The feeling of being arrogant made Chen Tian very upset, but in order to get money, Chen Tian held back: "Yes, it's me. If you are willing to listen, I will explain it seriously. If you are not interested, I think I can save time to go to Colibri. I think they must be interested in using you to make negative contrast advertisements."

"An ad for the opposite side?" Mike Ben frowned, "What do you mean, don't you know who you are talking to?"

"I just know that we may be in a partnership, and of course you can also think you are higher than me, but that's limited to your own understanding, but this does not rule out that you are a racist."

"Racist?" Mike was so angry that he couldn't afford to take on this charge, even if he did have this tendency, "Tell me about your plan first."

"There is a lighter in a movie that appears in the camera almost 90 minutes and is very important..."

"Do you want us to do advertising?" Since Mike Ben is the director of Zippo's publicity department, he is no stranger to advertising implantation, not to mention that this is Hollywood, Zippo has also been implanted in Hollywood many times.

Now Hollywood has been working with brands for a long time to form a complete implanted advertising industry chain.

This industrial chain consists of four parties: film producers, brands, advertising agencies and third-party evaluation agencies.

The usual process of implanted advertising operation is that when film producers prepare scripts, their marketers will analyze the possibility of implanting advertisements in those places in the scripts and break them down and mark them. These materials will then be sent to agencies that agents implanted advertisements. On the one hand, these agencies are commissioned by brands to help find opportunities to implant advertisements in Hollywood movies, while establishing long-term cooperation and connections with Hollywood studios.

When they receive the film project materials provided by large studios, they will evaluate which brand customers of their own are suitable for implanting advertisements in the movie and propose preliminary implantation plans.

These plans are then submitted to film studios and brands, who will make their own opinions and communicate through advertising agencies until a detailed implantation plan is developed and written into the film’s storyboard script.

"You are a brand? Why haven't I met you?"

"No, I'm not a brand, I'm a director, screenwriter and producer."

After hearing Chen Tian's words, Mike Ben knew that this was a small production: "Then what do you mean is a small production? Do you have no cost to shoot yet?"

"Of course not, but since there is an opportunity to cooperate, why don't you choose to cooperate? No one is not interested in the US dollar. I can provide you with publicity and you sponsor us. I think this is a fair deal."

Chen Tian took out the script from the file bag: "By the way, maybe you can read the script, and we are not a small production, our starring is Scarlett Johnson, maybe you should have heard of her, the future superstar of Hollywood."

"Scarlett Johnson? Are you sure you're not kidding?" Mike Ben smiled exaggeratedly, and in his opinion it was absolutely impossible. "If there was Scarlett Johnson, I think we could consider advertising sponsorship."

"I want me to call her? I forgot to tell you that the full film is aimed at Scarlett and the lighter in her hand almost always. Maybe you can read the script first." Chen Tian felt that the other party had an investment idea, and of course he also knew that Scarlett Johnson played a direct role.

Although I don't like the way Mike Ben showed at the beginning, Chen Tian could tolerate it for the sake of money.

Mike Ben took over the film script. Although he is not a professional, he likes to go to the theater to watch movies and is also a senior film critic of Rotten Tomato.com.

He was not optimistic about a video of a camera that was almost always aimed at Scarlett Johnson and the lighter.

"A woman sent to work in Iraq..." Mike Ben looked on, and the more he looked at it, he completely retracted his original thoughts.

When he finished reading the script, he couldn't calm down for a long time. Excluding Scarlett's pay, it would be a production with very little investment, but he had to admit that it was a very creative film that could impact the soul deep in one's heart.

At this moment, he completely withdrew his initial contempt and disdain for Chen Tian and took a deep breath: "Sorry, I have to say that this is an excellent script."

"Thank you!" Chen Tian responded with a smile. He also felt the change in Mike Ben's attitude.

"But I have to determine a question, is this production independent production or Paramount, Master or MGM even..."

"No, none of them, this is an independent film, but I believe you must recognize his excellence. Are you still worried that he will not be released?

Even if I can't get on the big screen, I'm confident that I can send it to various TV stations and make it into CD sales. You should know that 70% of the revenue of the video is not the theater share but the perimeter, CD and TV station on demand.

But I don’t think we can’t release it. I should work with one of them after the filming is over, so please rest assured of this.”

"Yes, I know, for me personally, I like this video that has not yet been released. If it is released, I will definitely go to the theater. More importantly, Scarlett..."

"Are you worried that she is not the starring actor? I can call her. If it really doesn't work, I think I can video her, and we can sign an agreement. For example, if it cannot be released or the sales cannot reach a certain scale, then I will compensate you how much." Chen Tian was not sure at all, but decided to give it to the point of being in place.

Mike Ben smiled and said, "If it's really certain, then I think sponsorship is not a problem, and of course we still need to sign some agreements."

"shit!" Chen Tian cursed in his heart. He didn't expect that he would really ask him to call Scarlett.

He didn't go to the email and didn't know that Scarlett replied to him. What's more important is that he only had Scarlett's agent phone number. Who knows if the woman would directly refuse him to contact Scarlett directly.

“Is there any problem?”

"No, of course it's okay, I'll fight now."
