Hollywood starts with animation

A few days later.

The Producers Union, the screenwriters union, and the representatives of the strike had negotiated and negotiated several times, and finally reached an agreement on the afternoon of December 19.

Facing the extremely tough producer union that has the advantage of media and public opinion, the screenwriters’ union and 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 announce 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 were relieved.

The screenwriters have increased salaries and benefits, even if not much, but they are also very valuable.

"What else can I say?"

A senior screenwriter involved in the strike said in a deep voice: "Our strike this time only prevailed at the beginning. However, as the producers' coalition came together and 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 lost a lot, but this time it was our producer alliance that achieved a full victory. From a long-term perspective, we made a profit. ."

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 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, yelling at Zhu Ke for being shameless and capricious.

But... you just say a try?

Don't look at Zhuke's harmony now, but everyone who knows Zhuke knows that if you dare to speak out in person now, Zhuke will definitely show you a look.

"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.

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 autumn!

The next day.

The crews of "Spider-Man" and "Harry Potter", which Wald Pictures is currently filming, have 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 agreement.

The "Spider-Man" movie is 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 crew of "Harry Potter".

"Harry Potter" crew, slow~

There are too many small 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 names, or veteran actors who wander through the various crews. They may not appear on the "Harry Potter" crew 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 don’t 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 Christmas file in 2000."

Christmas schedule...

It is a popular time that Wald Pictures has never touched before, and Zhu Ke is full of yearning.

.......

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 talk to the outside world, is it for new variety shows with UPN TV network and WB TV network? At that time, even if they have complaints, they 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 a group of people with a background of non-screenwriters’ union must be recruited to resist future strikes.

Stop work, all you lose are money!

In fact, Hollywood is not only a smart man, Zhuke, many film and television companies do this, especially the Big Six in Hollywood, they are unscrupulous in recruiting screenwriters with a background of non-screenwriters union.

Everything is brewing even more bitter fruits of the 2007-08 strike.

"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 is not possible that we can break the 4000 point mark before the end of December. We want to make a fortune~"

The voice on the phone was full of excitement and excitement.

Zhu Ke also clenched his fists.

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 bankruptcy, bankruptcy, or death. But for speculators like Zhu Ke, the Internet bubble is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Timing... the time to make big money!!!
