Chapter 353 Producer Union

December 9.

The 11,000 screenwriters' strike in the vigorous Hollywood Screenwriters Guild has been going on for a week. On several main streets in downtown Los Angeles, groups of screenwriters can be seen every day, for the benefit of their own group. Scream, sing.

During this period, executives headed by the Screenwriters Guild tried many times to interview representatives of the Producers Union, but they were all rejected.

In a word, you can talk if you want to talk!

Capital will not compromise easily!

On this day, as many as 320 representatives of major Hollywood film companies, American radio, television, and radio stations, as well as numerous independent producers, attended today's Producers Union meeting.

Its main purpose is to eliminate disputes as soon as possible and resume work as soon as possible!

"Hahaha, Zucker, congratulations on your headlines again. Well, I read the news, you are quite photogenic!"

As soon as Zucker arrived at the scene, Rupert Murdoch, the boss of 20th Century Fox, approached.

"Stop taunting me!"

Zucker glanced at Murdoch angrily, and pouted: "If I hadn't been slapped in the face with a leather shoe, these screenwriters would have been more violent now. I am the benefactor of the entire producer union."

Murdoch smiled and nodded: "You're right."

Summer Redstone, CEO of Viacom Group and Paramount Pictures, also echoed at the moment: "The rude violence in the strike, after some media reports, pushed the screenwriters who participated in the strike to the At the cusp of the storm, there are indeed many people who scold them for their violent behavior."

Zucker hated the attacker, White Sander.

In fact, many of the screenwriters who participated in the strike also scolded White Sander for being stupid.

As a screenwriter's employee, because of the low salary, they ask the film and television companies as the capital for a salary increase. This is a legal act entrusted to them by the law, and it is often supported by ordinary people. However... White Sander brazenly attacked Zucker, the flavor of this event has changed.

Violence!

Violence!

Many people like to use violence,

But I also hate violence!

White Sand's outrageous attack on Zucker is, to some extent, an act of smearing the Writers Guild, which will cost them some potential supporters.

Therefore, it is reasonable for Zucker to say that he is a benefactor of the Producers Union!

Soon....

Chairman of the Disney Group: Michael Eisner;

Chairman of Time Warner Group: Steve Ross;

Universal Pictures, Sony Columbia, DreamWorks, Dimen Pictures, Artisan Entertainment, MGM and many other film companies come either from company bosses or from company executives.

There are dozens of billionaires on the scene;

The representatives attending today's Producers Alliance meeting are all bigwigs with great power in the American entertainment industry.

High specification, called luxury!

"Kirk Kerkorian, I heard that you divorced your wife after less than a month of marriage. What's the matter?"

Before the meeting was officially opened, Disney chairman Michael Eisner made a joke at MGM boss Kirk Kerkorian, known as the "King of Gamblers".

Divorce after less than a month of marriage?

I have to say that even people in high positions like to gossip.

Many people in the entire scene pricked up their ears, and Zucker was no exception.

You must know that at Kerkorian's wedding not long ago, Zucker also attended in person and sent his blessings.

"Kerkorian, don't be shy, let's talk about it." Redstone didn't think it was a big deal to watch the fun.

Zhu Ke also said loudly: "That's right, let's talk about it."

Many people at the scene shouted.

At this moment, Rao is the 82-year-old gambling king Kecorian, and he can't help but twitch.

Many people even speculated that Kerkorian divorced after less than a month of marriage, most likely because his body could not bear it and could not satisfy his young wife.

After all, he is 82 years old!

Of course, this is just a blip from today's Producers Union meeting...

Not long after, the meeting officially started.

Michael Eisner, chairman of Disney, who is the interim head of the Producers Union, was the first to speak: "Let me tell you about my attitude first. Our Disney group will not easily compromise with the screenwriters of the screenwriters union. What's more, the famous and young The promising Zucker has all been attacked, so we cannot compromise."

No compromise!

This view has been supported by many producers' representatives.

Zhu Ke was the first to support!

"It's all compromised, so everyone will follow suit in the future. What dignity do we production companies have in the future?"

In fact, Zhu Ke's consistent principle is to keep a low profile and make a fortune in silence, and he doesn't like to be the first bird. But this will not work. After all, Zhu Ke was attacked, but it was exposed by the media.

Murdoch: "Our 20th Century Fox Films and News Corp. make good profits every year, but our money is not from the wind. Why should we give them (writers) more money."

Redstone: "I'll put my words here today. Whether it's Viacom Group or Paramount Pictures, they'll never bow their heads to a bunch of thugs."

Most people support and approve of the Disney chairman's decision.

However......

Steve Ross, chairman of Time Warner Group, one of Hollywood's six biggest media groups and the world's largest media group, has refuted.

"I suggest to negotiate with the representatives of the strike writers immediately, negotiate with the writers' union, and resolve the dispute as soon as possible."

"Everyone, don't forget..."

"It's only the screenwriters who are making trouble now, but can you guarantee that people from the Actors Guild and the Directors Guild will not take the opportunity to jump out and make waves?"

"You must know that once this group of people also jumps out, the situation will further expand. The situation at that time will not be determined by us. At that time, the price we pay may be even greater."

The voice fell, and the scene could not help but quiet down.

Every time a Hollywood screenwriter strikes, not only screenwriters participate, but actors, directors and other roles in the industry chain will also jump out to seek higher demands.

This is the producer union, something that has to be considered!

"Humph!"

Zucker snorted coldly: "Steve Ross, don't be foolish. If you want to compromise, you can go. Don't think we don't know what you're thinking, it's not that Time Warner Group is in the midst of a merger with AOL. critical time?"

Steve Ross: "..."

Everyone present, Gu is a shrewd person, even if they were fooled, they all reacted now.

Zucker wasn't afraid to offend Steve Ross. After all, Zucker's relationship with Time Warner was not that good, and he wasn't afraid to offend him.

Michael Eisner, chairman of Disney, said: "Steve, you are not being kind, this is the rhythm of being a traitor!"

This statement has been supported by many people.

As a result, many people on the scene denounced Steve Ross and Time Warner.

Time goes by slowly~

This meeting, which lasted for a whole day, just came to an end.

The results are delightful!

Everyone set a tone: no compromise, let them hang!

Of course, the Producers League isn't doing nothing.

The first and foremost thing is to stabilize the Actors Guild, Directors Guild... other major trade unions, and prevent them from making trouble too, so as to isolate the Screenwriters Guild.

There are even radical producer representatives who said: "Even if I transfer the benefits to the directors and actors, I don't want to give the benefits to the screenwriters. After all, whoever makes every strike event, they (screenwriters) always jump out first. !"

" "The second is sent.
