Chapter 356: Brewing bigger bitter fruit
A few days later.
The Producers Union, the screenwriters’ union, and representatives of the strike had negotiated and negotiated several times, and finally reached an agreement on the afternoon of December 19th.
Facing the extremely tough producer union that has the advantage of media and public opinion, the screenwriters union and the representatives of the strike, although there is a lot of helplessness in their hearts, they also know that they are powerless and can only bite the bullet and sign various regulations. .
At 3 pm, the fair was officially announced.
At 3:20 in the afternoon, a press conference was held on the strike, which marked the official end of the three-week strike.
"I declare that all strikes will be over from now on. In other words, work will be resumed now~" Michael Eisner, chairman of Disney, the interim speaker of the Producers Union, announced loudly in the face of a crowd of news media.
"The strike is over and work is officially resumed!" Representatives of the screenwriters union and strike representatives also spoke.
"Huh~"
At this moment, both the screenwriters who participated in the strike or the high-ranking producers in Hollywood breathed a sigh of relief.
The screenwriters have increased their salaries and benefits, even if not much, but they are commendable.
"What else can I say?"
A senior screenwriter involved in the strike said in a deep voice: "Our strike this time only prevailed in the early stage. However, as the producers' coalition came together and the public opinion reversed, it marked our failure."
Another screenwriter representative said solemnly: "It doesn't matter if you return to work one day earlier, after all, Christmas is approaching, and many people have to reunite with their families."
Everyone in the Producers Union is also very fortunate to have resumed work.
Redstone, Chairman of Viacom Group and Paramount, said: "This strike has been suspended for three weeks. Paramount Pictures under my umbrella have suspended work for as many as 3 film crews and 2 American crews. The direct economic loss due to work stoppage is as high as millions of dollars."
Murdoch, the chairman of News Corporation and 20th Century Fox Pictures, smiled and said: "Our 20th Century Fox has suffered a lot, but this time it is our producer alliance that has achieved a full victory. From a long-term perspective, we have made money. ."
Zhu Ke also accepted news interviews from many media.
"Ending the strike and resuming work. It ended in such a short period of time. I myself am delighted to see this."
"Combination benefits both!"
"I believe that the lessons of this strike will make Hollywood better and the world better!"
I have to say that Zhuke's face is thick enough.
There are so many routines!
In the past few days, Zhu Ke continued to criticize and ridicule the screenwriters who participated in the strike in the media, calling them "thugs," but now they are talking about a family who loves each other.
Tut tut~
Many media reporters on the scene couldn't help but twitch their mouths, and yelled Zhu Ke as shameless and capricious.
But... you just say a try?
Don't look at Zhuke's peace and harmony now, but everyone who knows Zhuke knows that if you dare to say it face-to-face now, Zhuke will definitely show your face.
"The capricious villain," a reporter whispered.
"Ha ha!"
A photographer next to him laughed in a low voice: "Don't be obsessed with it, don't you know that capitalists are like this?"
ended!
The strike is officially over!
.......
The strike is over, and there are still many things to deal with afterwards.
For example: Are the screenwriters involved in the strike really all right?
Think too much.
The face of the capitalist can be summed up in just four words-after the fall!
The next day.
The filming crew of "Spider-Man" and "Harry Potter", which Wald Pictures is currently filming, has officially resumed work.
Director Sam Remy said: "According to the current progress, the "Spider-Man" movie will be completed in early January. It is expected that in March, the post-production work will be completed and the film will be completed."
Will it be completed in March?
Zhuke and the executives of Wald Pictures all nodded in a tacit understanding.
The "Spider-Man" movie was Wald Pictures' key blockbuster in 2000 and an important sign that Wald Pictures officially joined the summer vacation.
"Don't watch many of our previous movies, they all got good box office, but in the summer file, we hardly did anything. This time, "Spider-Man" will definitely fight for us." Old Bill solemnly said.
Zhuke nodded.
Summer archives have always been the top six private places in Hollywood. It is difficult to obtain high-ranking films for the works of other film and television companies. Even Wald Pictures can only survive in the cracks during this period.
"This is a challenge~" Zhu Ke said solemnly.
After talking about "Spider-Man", I naturally asked the "Harry Potter" crew.
"Harry Potter" crew, slow~
There are too many young actors in this crew, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of shooting;
At the same time, many of the British actors who joined the film are big celebrities, or veteran actors who roam the various crews. They do not appear in the crew of "Harry Potter" every day, and the schedule is also required. Regulation.
"Can the film be completed before June?" Zhu Ke asked.
Upon hearing this, director Chris Columbus shook his head and said: "God! Mr. Wald, what you said is almost impossible. The movie "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" will be finished as soon as September."
As we all know, in the film industry, the most difficult thing to shoot is not science fiction, but children and animals. Once they do not cooperate, the difficulty of filming will surely rise.
Zhuke was surprised for a few seconds, squinted his eyes, and said: "It seems that the movie "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" can only be released in the 2000 Christmas file."
Christmas schedule...
It is a popular time that Wald Pictures has never touched, and Zhu Ke is full of longing.
.......
After visiting the resumption ceremony of the two crews of "Spider-Man" and "Harry Potter", Zhuke returned to Wald Pictures.
"Kevin Fitch, recently you are responsible for recruiting some registered screenwriters from the non-screenwriter union." Zhu Ke said in the office.
Kevin Fitch immediately said in astonishment: "Boss, the strike has just ended. If you do this, you will surely make waves again!"
Zhu Ke smiled and said, "I know your worries and concerns. But if we tell the public, are we going to have a new variety show with UPN TV network and WB TV network? At that time, even if they have complaints, they will have nothing to say. After all, The director of variety shows is their weak link."
Hearing this, Kevin Fitch also shines.
That's right, Zhuke settled the accounts after autumn.
This general strike has reminded Zhu Ke that he must recruit a group of people with non-screenwriters union background to resist future strikes.
Stop work, all you lose are money!
In fact, Hollywood is not only a smart person, Zhuke, many film and television companies do this, especially the Big Six in Hollywood. They recruit screenwriters with a background of non-screenwriters union, and they are unscrupulous ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ Everything is brewing. From 2007 to 2008, the strike was even more bitter.
"Ding Ding Ding!"
Zhu Ke received a call from Gale Capital on Wall Street in New York.
"Mr. Wald, the Nasdaq index is now as high as 3,800 points. It's hard to say that before the end of December, it will be able to break the 4000 point mark. We want to make a fortune~"
The voice on the phone was full of excitement and excitement.
Zhu Ke also clenched his fist.
The pace of the Internet bubble is getting closer!
It is undoubtedly a huge disaster for many companies and individuals, and even triggers large-scale bankruptcies, bankruptcies, or deaths, but for speculators like Zhu Ke, the Internet bubble is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Timing... the time to make big money! ! !
