Chapter 351: Zhuke was slapped in the face!

Old Bill said solemnly: "Zuke, we must handle this matter, 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, it is estimated that they will not admit that I am a screenwriters union. A member of. Hmph, since they jumped out, they have to face the wrong consequences."

leave application?

Fuck your grandma!

When the screenwriters do things, Zhu Ke's interests are bound to be harmed. Zhuke absolutely does not accept this kind of guy who harms the company's interests!

at the same time.

Paramount Pictures.

"Is the news confirmed?" Paramount President Shirley Lansing said with a gloomy expression.

Jordan immediately replied: "It has been confirmed that it is the screenwriters of the Screenwriters Guild that are doing things."

The voice just fell.

A hot-tempered executive immediately yelled: "These greedy guys are just looking for death, then we will fulfill them! Now it is 1999, and the completion of a script is almost always done by several people or even More than a dozen screenwriters have worked together. Are they still in the 80s when they completed a script independently?"

The screenwriters' strike in 1988 caused industry losses as high as 2.5 billion U.S. dollars. At the same time, in order to resume work as soon as possible and stay in the dispute, the Producers Union was forced to pay 87 million U.S. dollars in compensation.

This is an extremely shameful thing in the eyes of many film and television companies.

The contradiction between the producer league and the screenwriters lies mainly in the aspect of revenue.

The screenwriters hope to get more revenue, and the producers think: Your value is worth so much.

One party has to add money;

One party is unwilling to give more money;

The contradictions accumulated for a long time can no longer be suppressed at this time, and they have exploded!

——This is the screenwriter's strike!

"Humph!"

Shirley Lansing snorted coldly: "If they want to go on strike, let them go on strike. I want to see who can beat the other!"

During the strike, the screenwriters undoubtedly lost their financial resources;

As for film and television companies, with the suspension of the strike, they will inevitably suffer huge losses. The loss in this area is definitely far more than the screenwriter, in 100 million units.

However, the production company will not compromise easily!

The screenwriters compromised when they made trouble, so in the future, if they make trouble, the production company will have to compromise?

.......

Warner Bros. Pictures.

"Sir, I heard that the executives of the head office now know that the screenwriters are going on strike. What do we do with this time?" Dirk Ellison, the executive director of the distribution department, asked cautiously.

Screenwriters go on strike?

Ellison knew this was not a good thing.

We must know that at present, Time Warner Group, the parent company of Warner Bros. Pictures, is discussing mergers and acquisitions with AOL, which is at a very critical moment.

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

No, the news just came out that Time Warner Group’s stock price has dropped slightly, and the market value has lost more than US$500 million.

Even if the lost market value is just paper wealth, it will make Time Warner Group, a large company, very ugly and face down.

Barry Meyer, President of Warner Bros. Pictures, said in a deep voice: "It stands to reason that at the moment of company mergers, at this important moment, the head office is most likely to choose to calm down and spend money to avoid disasters, but... We also have to consider the attitude of other film and television companies."

Ellison, the head of the distribution department, nodded heavily when he heard the words.

Warner dare not compromise easily!

You think, once Warner chooses to stand on the side of the screenwriters’ union, how do you make other film and television companies that are the producers’ league perceive you.

In other words, there is a traitor!

By then, even if Warner is one of the top six in Hollywood, it will definitely not be better.

"Hey~"

When Barry Meyer thought about this, he felt his head swelled and sighed: "Let's wait and see what happens. The final decision depends on the attitude of the head office."

.......

Six major Hollywood, including Sony Columbia, Universal, Disney, and 20th Century Fox...

DreamWorks, MGM, Searchlight, Emperor Gate Pictures, Lions Gate Pictures, Artisan Entertainment...

And Hollywood’s third- and fourth-line film companies, including the screenwriters responsible for writing TV series, also participated in the strike.

In less than 3 days, as many as 11,000 screenwriters participated in this screenwriter strike with their real names.

You know that in 1999, there were only 12,000 screenwriters registered by the Screenwriters Guild. In other words, almost all screenwriters from the screenwriters union participated in the strike.

The scale is huge!

On this day, when Zhu Ke attended an Internet summit, he was chased by dozens of media reporters.

"Mr. Wald, what do you think of this screenwriter's strike?"

"According to the news, there are as many as 32 screenwriters in Wald Pictures, of which as many as 21 screenwriters participated in the strike with their real names. What are your thoughts?"

"Please express your opinion."

"The screenwriters went on strike, causing the crews of your company's "Spider-Man", "Harry Potter", "Shark Beach" and other films to be stopped, causing losses of at least millions of dollars. What do you think?"

A group of media reporters shouted hoarsely.

Zhu Ke had a sullen face and said nothing.

Fortunately, Zhu Ke has a strong security team around him, otherwise Zhu Ke will be besieged by reporters if he is so powerful.

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

"Good." Zhu Ke is also a decisive master.

something unexpected may happen any time!

Just when Zhu Ke was about to leave the scene and away from the media reporters ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, another leather shoe exuding a stinking smell hit Zhuke's face heavily.

"......"

Really smash the face!

For a while, the whole scene quieted strangely.

It was the security team that responded quickly, and immediately there were two former SEALs members who took off their shoes and smashed Zucker in one fell swoop, under control.

"Zuke Wald, you **** 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 Zhu Ke's frame and handed Zhu Ke the script of his own screenplay. Zhu Ke simply read it, but refused.

In 1998, he again submitted the script to Wald Pictures and was rejected again.

With a grudge, he took advantage of this screenwriter's strike and decided to retaliate against Zhu Ke.

This foul-smelling leather shoe was accurately slammed on Zhuke's face, which was the most direct revenge.

Zhuke is angry!

Ever since the journey, has Zhu Ke ever been slapped in the face?

And it's in full view!

After just a few seconds of consternation, the reporters all became excited!

"Zuke Wald was smashed in the face with a leather shoe in public. This is not news, so what is news?!" A reporter was extremely excited.

The current photographers are also holding on to the camera in their hands.
