Hollywood Road

As if he couldn't believe the number he heard, Kara was taken aback, "Are you crazy, Murphy!"

"You know it's impossible." Kara sighed, then turned to look at the screen, "How much?"

Murphy also knows that it is impossible for any TV station to buy a homicide news video for one hundred thousand dollars. It is only a rich man who died, not a celebrity like Tom Hanks or Spielberg.

The price just now was more like a test. Murphy pulled a chair and sat on the opposite side of Cara, "Fifty thousand dollars!"

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

Murphy repeated it in a very serious and serious tone, "Fifty thousand dollars!"

"It's impossible." Cara's eyes turned back from the screen to Murphy, his light blue pupils looked unusually bright, "I need a number that actually points."

"I gave you two." Murphy was obviously not joking, and said again, "Fifty thousand dollars!"

The expression on Carla's face gradually disappeared, "Five thousand dollars, this is the highest number I can give."

Murphy shook his head directly and said in a reminding tone, "This time it is not black people or Mexican immigrants who have died this time, but very wealthy white people!"

He deliberately aggravated the ‘white’ tone, “An extremely wealthy white man was shot and killed in his own mansion, and a housewife died on the floor of the bedroom! I know you, Carla.”

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

He patted the arm of the chair again with his right hand. Cara stood up, circled Murphy, returned to the front, and said condescendingly, "Ten thousand dollars."

Murphy knew that fifty thousand dollars was impossible, and made a concession, "forty thousand dollars!"

Cara was expressionless, "Fifteen thousand dollars!"

"Thirty-five thousand dollars..."

"Twenty thousand dollars..."

"Thirty thousand dollars!" Murphy stood up, taking advantage of her height, looked down at the woman on the opposite side slightly, "Thirty thousand dollars!"

"No..." Carla took the initiative to step back, using the distance to bring the eyes of both parties back to the same level. "This is impossible. There is no such precedent. Twenty thousand US dollars is my highest bid. I can't suppress all the expenses for a month. On your video."

"All right." Murphy reached out and unplugged the data cable and took back his storage disk. Without even looking at Carla, he walked directly to the door of the office, "This business seems to be impossible."

"What are you going to do?" Caralo's hasty voice sounded behind, "Where are you going."

Murphy turned around and pointed to the direction of the Disney Building to the west, "Go to ABC TV. I contacted the people over there before coming over. They were very interested."

Having said that, he looked directly at Carla, "You know, Miss Faith, I have always regarded you as the most reliable partner. Other TV stations have paid a lot for this video, but I came to you first because I think It’s worth it, it can help your career and it will allow me to get the right return."

These words are deep and meaningful, but Carla curled his lips without a trace. How credible are the words of those who dare to shoot this kind of video?

She is not a little girl full of fantasy.

"The director of the ABC News Department has contacted me many times."

Seeing that Kara was still thinking about it, Murphy continued to confess, "They will pay a higher price. I can drive there in time now."

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

Murphy turned around and stood at the door looking at Carla. Carla folded her arms around her chest. Her face changed to another expression, and her tone began to soften, "After working together for so long, I thought we were friends long ago. Do you want to use Treat friends with this attitude?"

Murphy rolled his eyes, "If the TV station belongs to you, I am willing to give it away for free."

He specifically looked at Carla’s towering **** and delicate face, “If that’s the case, I am willing to provide you with any news videos to express my affection for you.”

Pretending not to hear these seemingly sincere, but in fact lies, Cara took a deep breath, "Put 30,000 dollars on a piece of news and I will go crazy."

The attitude and tone of the other party have loosened, and Murphy, who has the advantage, added another fire, "I think you forgot, the criminal has escaped and is still at large, mixed in the crowd. Those with family members, especially those living in the suburbs, think People who are very safe will be nervous and can't sleep, and will continue to pay attention to the progress of this matter."

Murphy picked up the storage disk 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 while, and finally nodded slowly.

But Murphy’s request did not end there. Some things were considered on the way here, "I treat you as a friend, Carla. I also like your dedicated attitude, but you have to know that thirty thousand dollars is not me. The only requirement."

Looking at Murphy with a surprised look, Kara seemed to have just met him.

"When you broadcast this video..." Murphy increased his tone, "I asked the announcer to introduce my work and put subtitles to let the audience know that it came from my company-Stanton Studios! A professional Very strong video production company!"

He cannot be a freelance journalist forever. As long as he has funds, he will definitely switch to the film industry. This can be said to be an opportunity for publicity.

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

Only now did she discover that this young man, like herself, has a strong sense of professionalism, and does not hesitate to do so at all costs.

After speaking those words, Murphy approached Carla and raised a hand, "How about it, can I make a deal?"

Although I really want to slap the face with no expression on the opposite side, to see how thick his face can be, but Carla really needs the video, as he said, it is a section A weapon that can attract the audience's attention for a long time and increase the ratings of the program!

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

The two parties reached an agreement. After Carla called his superiors again, Murphy received a check for 30,000 U.S. dollars before long, but he did not leave. Instead, he stayed in the editing room of the TV station and waited for this. News broadcast.

After this news is broadcast, he has more work to do.

Time slowly approached six o’clock in the morning. With a bell rang, the morning news of Channel 6 kicked off. Murphy stood in a corner that was not in the way and looked carefully at Cara’s side, wanting to see what this woman did. This video is pretty good.

"Double shot, close-up of No. 1 lens." Carla stood in front of the workbench and gave instructions skillfully. "Get ready for the headline I want. It's "Blood House". Make no mistake!"

Murphy put his arms around his chest and looked there with interest. Although he had provided a lot of news videos before, it was the first time he watched the behind-the-scenes manipulation of news programs.

"Last night, a robbery occurred in the Santa Monica Valley. Currently, four people have died..."

The news switched to the video. The female announcer immediately followed the subtitles and said quickly, "This video is exclusively purchased by Channel Six from Stanton Studios, which is a professional company that produces videos."

Hearing this, Murphy couldn’t help laughing. The broadcasted screens were edited by the TV station, and some too sensitive content was processed. However, the **** and stimulating screens appeared in the news program in some clever ways. In order to stimulate the audience's eyeballs.

During the broadcast, Carla repeatedly asked the announcer to emphasize the brutality of this case and that the criminal is still at large and may commit the crime again at any time...

Even if it is not an expert, Murphy can see that Cara is using the method of creating panic to increase the appeal of the show.

As for whether it will really cause panic, Murphy won't care, Carla won't care, and TV stations won't care, otherwise they won't leave the police and the victim alone, and watch for so long for the price of the video.

What Carla cares about is the ratings of the show, and Murphy is concerned about how to use this news to bring himself high income.

"This is really cruel. Such severe violence has spread to the most upscale and safest neighborhoods in Los Angeles, and criminals are at large..."

After emphasizing the cruelty of the case and the escape of criminals, and reminding the audience that the program will pay attention to the latest developments, this news came to an end.

"Insert an ad." Kara had just finished ordering. The phone in the editing room rang, and she immediately picked up the microphone, "This is Carla Faith."

"Good job, Carla!"

This is the voice of a high-level TV station, "Very exciting, very attractive news."

Putting down the phone, Carla was in a pretty good mood. After finishing this episode, she turned her head and looked at the corner for the first time. The **** was still standing there, with a very proud expression on her face, as if she had just done something amazing.

After thinking for a while, Carla walked over and said unceremoniously, "Why don't you leave?"

Murphy shrugged and answered the wrong question, "Excellent news, after being rendered in your language, I can't help but want to see how it will develop next."

Although he has full opinions on Murphy, Kara still recognizes his abilities, and even admires him a little. The ability to shoot such news videos cannot simply be attributed to luck.

"You did a good shot." Kara rubbed her eyebrows. "Photography has improved a lot."

"Thank you." Murphy completely ignored the curious gazes around him, and said tentatively, "You should be off work, right?"

Carla nodded slightly.

"I heard that there is a nice Italian restaurant called Cabarete nearby." Murphy sent out an invitation, "Do you like Italian food, Cara."
