Chapter 356

Old Bill said in a deep voice, "we have to deal with this matter, or..."

"You don't have to say much," he said, waving his hand. "I know the seriousness of the matter. Although I am also a screenwriter, I prefer to be a member of the producers' League. Of course, it is estimated that they will not admit that I am a member of the writers' Union. Hum, since they jump out, they have to face the consequences of mistakes. "

Leave application?

Go to your grandma!

If the writers make trouble, Zhuke's interests are bound to be damaged. Zucker will never accept such a guy who damages the interests of the company!

At the same time.

Paramount Pictures.

"Is the message confirmed?" Sherry Lansing, President of paramount, said with a gloomy face.

Jordan immediately replied, "it's confirmed. It's the writers of the writers' Union who do things."

The voice just dropped.

A hot tempered executive immediately yelled: "these greedy guys are looking for death, then we will help them! Now it's 1999. Almost all scripts are completed by several or even more than a dozen screenwriters. Do they still think it's the 1980s when one screenplay was completed independently? "

The writers' strike in 1988 caused a loss of as much as $2.5 billion to the industry. Meanwhile, in order to return to work and stay in the dispute as soon as possible, the producers' Union was forced to pay $87 million in compensation.

In the eyes of many film and television companies, this is an extremely humiliating thing.

The main contradiction between the producers' Alliance and the writers lies in the income.

The writers hope to get more revenue, and the producers think: your value is so much.

One side needs more money;

One side is not willing to give more money;

For a long time accumulated contradictions, at this time can no longer suppress, all burst out!

——This is the writers strike!

"Hum!"

Shirley Lansing snorted, "if they want to go on strike, let them go on strike. I'll see who can afford it

During the strike, the writers undoubtedly lost their sources of income;

As for the film and television companies, with the stoppage of the strike, it is bound to be a huge loss. The loss in this respect is definitely far more than that of screenwriters, with a unit of 100 million.

However, the production company will not easily compromise!

If the writers make a fuss, they compromise. In the future, will the production companies compromise when they make a fuss?

.......

Warner Bros.

"Sir, I heard that the senior executives of the head office now know that the writers are going to strike. How do we deal with this time?" Asked distribution executive Dirk Ellison cautiously.

Writers strike?

Ellison knows it's not a good thing.

At present, Time Warner Group, the parent company of Warner Bros., is discussing merger and acquisition with AOL, which is at a critical moment.

The strike of the writers will undoubtedly cause certain losses to the merger of the two companies.

No, as soon as the news came out, the share price of Time Warner Group fell a little, and the market value loss exceeded US $500 million.

Even if the lost market value is just a piece of paper wealth, it will make Time Warner Group, as a big company, look ugly and face down.

Barry Meyer, President of Warner Bros., said in a deep voice: "it is reasonable to say that at the moment of company merger, at this important moment, the head office may choose to make peace and spend money to avoid disaster, but we also have to consider the attitude of other film and television companies."

Ellison, the director of the Distribution Department, nodded heavily.

Warner dare not compromise easily!

You think, once Warner chooses to be on the side of the writers' Union, what do you want other film and television companies in the producers' League to think of you.

In other words, there is a traitor!

By then, even Warner, one of Hollywood's top six, will never be better.

"Ah ~"

As soon as Barry Meyer thought of this, he felt his head very big and sighed, "just watch it. The final decision depends on the attitude of the head office. "

.......

Sony Columbia, universal, Disney, 20th Century Fox and other Hollywood six

DreamWorks, MGM, searchlight, Timon, Shimen, artisan entertainment

And a number of third - and fourth tier film companies in Hollywood, including the writers responsible for writing TV dramas, also took part in the strike.

In less than three days, as many as 11000 writers participated in the strike.

You know, in 1999, only 12000 writers were registered in the writers' Union. In other words, almost all the writers of the writers' Union participated in the strike.

It's a huge scale!

On this day, when Zhuke attended an Internet Summit, he was surrounded by dozens of media reporters.

"Mr. ward, what do you think of the writers' strike?"

"According to the news, there are as many as 32 screenwriters on the register of Wald pictures, including as many as 21 screenwriters who participated in the strike in real name. What do you think?"

"Please give me your opinion."

"The writers' strike caused the production teams of spider man, Harry Potter, shark beach and other films being shot by your company to stop working, resulting in losses of at least millions of dollars. What do you think?"

A group of media reporters, yelling.

Zucker had a sullen face and said nothing.

Thanks to the strong security team around Zhuke, otherwise Zhuke would be surrounded by reporters.

"Boss, for your safety, I suggest leaving the scene immediately." Zhao Wushuang said in a deep voice.

"Good." Zucker is also a decisive leader.

However, there is something unexpected!

Just when Zhuke was about to leave the scene and media reporters, another shoe smelling of boom and stink hit Zhuke's face heavily.

“.......”

What a shame!

For a moment, the whole scene was strangely quiet.

Or the rapid reaction of the security team, immediately there are two former seal team members, one will take off shoes hit Zhuke people, to control up.

"Zucker Wald, you bloody capitalist, stingy vampire, why don't you die?" Not far away, a middle-aged man yelled.

His name is white sander. He is a screenwriter.

In 1997, he once stopped Zhuke's car frame and submitted his screenplay to Zhuke. Zhuke simply read it and refused.

In 1998, he again submitted the script to Wald pictures, which was rejected again.

Taking advantage of the strike, he decided to retaliate against Zhuke.

This smelly leather shoe is the most direct revenge when it hits Zhuke's face.

Chuck's angry!

Since then, has Zhuke ever been beaten in the face?

And in full view of the public!

After a few seconds of astonishment, the reporters were all excited!

"It's not news that Zucker ward was hit in the face with his shoes in public. What's news?" One of the reporters was very excited.

Today's photographers also hold on to their cameras.

Hit people but not face!

You say, how can Zhuke not be very angry at the moment?

The most important thing is that, not surprisingly, Zhuke will make the headlines today - in the form of being beaten in the face!

Shame, asshole!

The second watch is on.

Fortunately, time to catch up, today's network problems, thanks to the author Jun will be a little bit of broadband play.
