A Hollywood Secret to Rapidly Boosting Your Sales!

There is an old story about a Hollywood screenwriter who, after years of trying, finally gets to see the biggest studio boss in Hollywood. When he enters the elaborate office, the boss looks up from his desk, asks for the script, and then dismisses the writer almost at once, telling him to come back at the same time in two weeks.

Two weeks later the writer knocks on the door at the appointed time and walks into Mr. Big’s office. As soon as Mr. Big sees the writer walking towards him, he starts hurling a string of abuse: “This is the worst script I have ever seen in twenty years. The audience will hate it; they will walk out after five minutes…”

The crestfallen writer turns and walks towards the door with- out a word. “Now,” says Mr. Big, “if you were to kill the hero on page 92 instead of page three, it will be the best movie I have ever made!”

The writer turns, utterly confused…

Mr. Big looks at him, “You can’t kill the hero in the first scene. No one cares about him that early in the movie; but, by the end of the movie, they LOVE him!”
