Chapter 351 Zhu Ke was slapped in the face!
Old Bill said in a deep voice: "Zuke, we must handle this matter well, otherwise..."
Zhuke waved his hand and said, "You don't need to say more. 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, they probably won't admit that I am a member of the screenwriter's union. Humph, since they jumped out, they will have to face the wrong consequences."
Apply for leave?
Go to your grandma!
When the screenwriters make trouble, Zhuke's interests will inevitably be damaged. Zhuke will never accept such a guy who harms the interests of the company!
At the same time.
Paramount Pictures.
"Has the news been confirmed?" Paramount President Shirley Lansing said with a slight expression.
Jordan immediately replied: "It has been confirmed that it is the screenwriters of the screenwriters union who are doing the trouble."
Just finished speaking.
An executive with a hot temper immediately scolded: "These greedy guys are simply seeking death, so we will fulfill them! Now it's 1999, and the completion of a script is almost completed by several or even a dozen screenwriters. Do they still think it was the era when one person completed a script independently in the 1980s?"
The screenwriter strike in 1988 caused the industry to suffer as much as US$2.5 billion. At the same time, in order to resume work as soon as possible, the producers alliance was forced to pay US$87 million in compensation in order to resume work as soon as possible.
This is an extremely shameful thing in the eyes of many film and television companies.
The conflict between the producers' league and the screenwriters is mainly about the profit.
Screenwriters hope to get more profits, but the producers think: Your value is worth so much.
One party wants to increase the money;
One party is unwilling to give more money;
The conflicts accumulated over the long period of time can no longer be suppressed and all of them exploded!
——This is the screenwriter strike!
"snort!"
Shirley Lansing snorted coldly: "If they want to strike, let them strike. I want to see who can waste more than whom!"
During the strike, the screenwriters undoubtedly lost their source of income;
As for film and television companies, with the shutdown of the strike, they will inevitably suffer huge losses. The losses in this regard must be far more than the screenwriter, in units of billions.
But the production company will not compromise easily!
The screenwriters compromise when they make a fuss. Will the production companies compromise when they make a fuss in the future?
.........
Warner Bros. Pictures.
"Sir, I heard that the senior executives of the headquarters now know that the screenwriters are going to strike. What will we do this time?" Dirk Ellison, an executive of the distribution department, asked carefully.
Screenwriter strike?
Ellison knew it wasn't a good thing.
You should know that Time Warner Group, the parent company of Warner Bros. Pictures, is currently discussing mergers and acquisitions with American Online, which is at a very critical moment.
The screenwriters' strike will undoubtedly cause certain losses to the merger of the two companies.
Just now, the news came out that the stock price of Time Warner Group fell slightly, and the market value loss exceeded US$500 million.
Even if the lost market value is just a piece of paper wealth, this will make Time Warner Group, as a large company, look ugly and its face plummeted.
Barry Mayer, president of Warner Bros. Pictures, said in a deep voice: "Realistically speaking, at the moment of today's company merger, at this important moment, the head office is likely to choose to calm people and spend money to avoid disasters, but... we have to consider the attitudes of other film and television companies."
Ellison, the director of the distribution department, nodded heavily when he heard this.
Warner dared not compromise easily!
You think, once Warner chooses to stand on the side of the screenwriters union, how do you let other film and television companies in the Producers Union view you?
In other words, a traitor emerged!
By then, even if Warner is one of the top six Hollywoods, it will definitely not be easy.
"Oh~"
When Barry Meyer thought of this, he felt a big head and sighed: "Let's wait and see. What we make the final decision depends on the attitude of the head office."
.........
Sony Columbia, Universal, Disney, 20th Century Fox and other six major Hollywood...
DreamWorks, MGM, Searchlights, Dimen Pictures, Lion Gate Pictures, Arts and Crafts Entertainment......
As well as a number of third- and fourth-tier film companies in Hollywood, including screenwriters responsible for writing TV series, also participated in the strike.
In just under three days, as many as 11,000 screenwriters participated in the screenwriter strike with their real names.
You should know that in 1999, there were only 12,000 screenwriters who were on the screenwriter union. In other words, almost all screenwriters and union screenwriters participated in the strike.
It's huge in scale!
On this day, when Zucker attended an Internet summit, he was surrounded and intercepted by dozens of media reporters.
"Mr. Wald, how do you view this screenwriter strike?"
"According to reports, there are as many as 32 screenwriters on the list, including as many as 21 screenwriters, who participated in the strike with their real names. What do you think?"
"Please express your opinion."
"The screenwriter's strike caused the crew of many films such as Spider-Man, Harry Potter, Shark Beach, etc. that your company is filming, causing losses of at least millions of dollars. What do you think?"
A number of media reporters shouted hoarsely.
Zhu Ke had a gloomy face and said nothing.
Fortunately, Zhuke has a strong security team around him, otherwise Zhuke would have been surrounded by reporters.
"Boss, for your safety, I suggest leaving the scene immediately." Zhao Wushuang said in a deep voice.
"Okay." Zhuke is also a decisive master.
However... there are unexpected situations!
Just as Zhuke was about to leave the scene and leave the media reporters, another leather shoe that emitted a stinking smell hit Zhuke hard on the face.
“……”
Really smacking face!
For a moment, the whole scene became strangely quiet.
The security team responded quickly, and immediately two former Navy SEALs members controlled the people who took off their shoes and smashed Juke in one fell swoop.
"Juke Wald, you damn capitalist, stingy vampire, why don't you die?!" Not far away, a middle-aged man shouted loudly.
His name is White Sand, and he is a screenwriter.
In 1997, he once stopped Zhuke's frame and handed over the script he wrote to Zhuke. Zhuke simply finished reading it and refused.
In 1998, he submitted the script to Wald Pictures again, and was rejected again.
He was holding a grudge and took advantage of this screenwriter strike to decide to take revenge on Zhuke.
This leather shoe that emitted a foul smell was the most direct revenge when it hit Zhuke's face.
Zhuke is angry!
After traveling through time, how could Zhu Ke be slapped in the face?
And it's in full view of everyone!
After being shocked for a few seconds, the reporters were all excited!
"Juke Wald was smashed into the face with leather shoes in public. This is not news, so what is news?!" A reporter was extremely excited.
Photographers nowadays have also grabbed the camera in their hands.
Is it not a slap in the face?
You said, how could Zhuke not be extremely angry at this moment?
The most important thing is that if you are surprised, Zhu Ke is going to make the headlines today - he is making the headlines in the form of being slapped in the face!
Shame-angry bastard!
