Chapter 351 Zu Ke Was Slapped in the Face!

Old Bill said solemnly, "Zuck, we must handle this matter, otherwise..."

Zucker 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 Union. Of course, they probably won't admit that I am a screenwriters union. One of the members. Well, since they jumped out, then they have to face the consequences of their mistakes."

leave application?

Fuck your grandma!

If the screenwriters do things, Zucker's interests are bound to be damaged. Zucker absolutely does not accept this kind of guy who damages the interests of the company!

at the same time.

Paramount Pictures.

"Has the news been confirmed?" Paramount President Shirley Lansing asked with a gloomy expression.

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

The voice just fell.

A hot-tempered executive immediately scolded: "These greedy guys are simply courting death, then we will fulfill them! It's 1999, and a script is almost completed by several people, even Do more than a dozen screenwriters work together, do they still think it is the era of the 1980s, when one person wrote a script independently?"

The writers' strike in 1988 caused industry losses as high as 2.5 billion US dollars. At the same time, in order to resume work as soon as possible and sleep over the dispute, the Producers Union was also forced to pay 87 million US dollars in compensation.

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

The conflict between the Producers Union and the screenwriters is mainly in terms of revenue.

The screenwriters hope to get more income, and the producers think: you are worth so much.

one party wants 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 all erupted!

- This is the screenwriter's strike!

"Humph!"

Shirley Lansing snorted coldly: "If they want to strike, let them strike. I'd like to see who can beat who!"

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

As for the film and television companies, with the suspension of the strike, there must be huge losses. The loss in this regard is definitely far more than the screenwriter, in units of 100 million.

However, the production company will not compromise easily!

When the screenwriters make trouble, they compromise, so will the production company have to compromise when they make trouble in the future?

......

Warner Bros. Pictures.

"Sir, I heard that the top executives of the head office now know that the screenwriters are going to strike. You said, what will we do this time?" Dirk Ellison, an executive of the distribution department, asked cautiously.

Screenwriter strike?

Ellison knew that wasn't a good thing.

You must know that 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 strike of the screenwriters will undoubtedly cause certain losses to the merger of the two companies.

No, just after the news came out, the share price of Time Warner Group fell a little, and the market value lost more than 500 million US dollars.

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

Barry Mayer, president of Warner Bros. Pictures, said solemnly: "It stands to reason that at the time of the merger of the company, at this important moment, the head office is very likely to choose to settle down and spend money to avoid disaster, but... We also have to consider the attitudes of other film and television companies.”

Ellison, the head of the distribution department, nodded heavily upon hearing this.

Warner dare not compromise easily!

You think, once Warner chooses to be on the side of the Writers Guild, how do you make the other studios who are the Producers Union see you.

In other words, a traitor!

At that time, even Warner, as one of the Big Six in Hollywood, will definitely not be better.

"Hey~"

When Barry Mayer thought of this,

Feeling overwhelmed, he sighed, "Let's wait and see. 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, Dimensity Pictures, Lionsgate Pictures, Artisan Entertainment...  

And a group of third- and fourth-tier film companies in Hollywood, including screenwriters responsible for writing TV series, also participated in the strike one after another.

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

You must know that in 1999, there were only 12,000 screenwriters in the Screenwriters Guild. That is to say, almost all the screenwriters of the Screenwriters Guild participated in the strike.

Huge scale!

On this day, when Zucker attended an Internet summit, he was chased and blocked by dozens of media reporters.

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

"According to reports, there are as many as 32 screenwriters in Wald Pictures, and as many as 21 screenwriters participated in the strike with their real names. What do you think?"

"Please express your opinion."

"What do you think of the writers' strike, which has caused the production and crew of your company's ongoing production of "Spider-Man", "Harry Potter", "Shark Shore" and other films to stop work, causing at least millions of dollars in losses?"

A group of media reporters shouted hoarsely.

Zuke's face was gloomy and he said nothing.

Fortunately, Zhu Ke has a strong security team by his side, otherwise Zu Ke will be surrounded by reporters no matter how awesome he is.

"Boss, for your safety, I suggest leaving the scene immediately." Report Zhao Wushuang said solemnly.

"Okay." Zucker is also a decisive master.

something unexpected may happen any time!

Just when Zucker was about to leave the scene and get away from the media reporters, another leather shoe with a stinky smell smashed heavily on Zucker's face.

"......"

Really smashing the face!

For a while, the entire scene was eerily quiet.

Everyone in the security team responded quickly, and immediately there were two former SEAL members who took off their shoes and smashed Zucker under control.

"Zuke Wald, you damn capitalist, mean vampire, why don't you die?!" Not far away, a middle-aged man shouted loudly.

His name is White Sander, and he is a screenwriter.

In 1997, he once stopped Zucker's frame and submitted his script to Zucker. Zucker simply read it and refused.

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

Holding a grudge, he took advantage of the writers' strike and decided to take revenge on Zucker.

This foul smelling leather shoe hit Zu Ke's face exactly, which was the most direct revenge.

Zucker is angry!

In the past, has Zhu Kehe been slapped in the face?

And it's in plain sight!

After being stunned for a few seconds, the reporters were all excited!

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

Today's photographers are also grasping the cameras in their hands.

Hit people without slaps in the face!

You say, how can Zucker not be so angry at the moment?

The most important thing is that, if there is no accident, Zucker will make the headlines today - in the form of being slapped in the face!

Shame, you bastard!

" "The second is sent.

Fortunately, the time was in time. There was a problem with the network today. Thanks to the author, you can fiddle with broadband a little.
