Chapter 1694: formal strike

Today's sixth update, please recommend, please subscribe!

It was the end of September when Patrick Varone found Evan Bale, but it was early November when the strike started. At this time, the part about the Joker in "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight" was finally officially completed. Evan Bell ended his four-month journey, leaving Christian Bell and others to continue to struggle, but the whole The final light of the crew can also be seen, and all shooting can be completed before the arrival of 2008.

On November 5th, screenwriters on the East and West coasts of the United States dropped their pens and quit! After a month of long negotiations, the negotiations officially broke down. The two presidents of the writers' union issued a joint statement at 8:00 p.m. on the 4th and will officially start the strike at 9:00 a.m. on November 5th in various time zones.

The next morning, starting from eastern New York, more than 4,000 screenwriters walked out of their homes and set up a cordon at Rockefeller Center in New York, which is the headquarters of Universal Television in the United States! An hour later, the Los Angeles strike in the west officially kicked off. This is the largest strike in Hollywood since 1988. The "weak" screenwriters will be divided into four groups and will be on duty from nine in the morning to five in the evening, until the Writers Guild of America and the Producers Union reach an agreement!

As we all know, this is a tug-of-war competition of interests. Both sides have blushed and their necks are thick, and it will be up to who can consume who.

It is understood that the annual profit of the Hollywood entertainment industry is 30 billion US dollars, and the economic loss caused by the collective strike of Hollywood screenwriters to Hollywood will be as high as 80 million US dollars a day. Income, who can achieve the final victory is not yet known.

After the strike broke out on November 5, the Writers Guild released a list of shows to support. The writers of the series under the Eleven Studios have given full support, "Grey's Anatomy", "Doctor House", "NCIS", "Mad Men", "The Big Bang Theory" names are impressive In the column, and "I am a comedy maniac" and "Hero" from "Original" Eleven Studio also expressed their support. But what is surprising is that "Prison Break", a drama with the blood of Eleven Studios, did not appear. The conflict between Eleven Studios and Fox TV is obviously still not completely relieved. In addition, popular series such as "Desperate Housewives", "Lost" and "CSI" are all supported.

In other words, all of these episodes will face an unsustainable dilemma. No screenwriter, no script. Even without actors, how will the episodes that are being filmed and broadcast continue to be broadcast?

In addition, the Actors Guild, which is on the same front as the Screenwriters Guild, has also given absolute support. In addition to the actors in the above-mentioned dramas, many other actors have also given their solidarity. In fact, when it comes to the position of the producers' union, the positions of screenwriters and actors are very similar, and they are both targets of labor. Isn't it a means to win the interests of the actors to win the interests of the screenwriter?

In less than six hours, the strike became the most talked-about in the nation, eclipsed even by the upcoming awards season. Imagine how the host would preside over the award ceremony if there was no screenwriter to write a series of words; the actors and screenwriters refused to attend the awards ceremony, how should the ceremony be held; even the Screenwriters Guild and the Screen Actors Guild refused to hold the awards ceremony! So, the chain reaction of this strike is definitely not that simple.

After lunch on the fifth day. All the screenwriters in Rockefeller Plaza sat on the ground. After the second group of screenwriters had lunch, they went into battle to replace the screenwriters of the first group. Protest signs continued to crowd Rockefeller Plaza. The reporters stationed around the square couldn't help but cheer up again. They must pay attention to whether there is a new drama among the screenwriters of the second shift to join the strike. This time, almost the entire film and television industry was hit by the general strike. Getting involved, even the reporters couldn't relax.

At this moment, there was some commotion among the screenwriters at the scene. It was nothing special among the protesting crowd, but the surrounding reporter group just subconsciously looked at it, and they couldn't help but start to riot. Following the line of sight of most people, they saw a tall young man wearing a royal blue hat provided by the Screenwriters Guild this time. Weird green curls can be vaguely seen under the hat, wearing a simple white shirt and holding a sign that reads "The Writers Guild of America is on strike." This young man is not conspicuous among the crowd, especially with a standard baseball cap on, making it even more difficult to distinguish his face.

But even so, people were quick to recognize it. This is Evan Bell!

The latest news is that Evan Bell just ended his filming in the "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight" crew two days ago. He didn't expect him to appear in Rockefeller Plaza in New York today to participate in the torrent of screenwriters' strike. !

In fact, there has never been a shortage of big-name actors participating in the writers' strike today. Meg Ryan, Tom Cruise and others have also expressed their solidarity, but most of the actors participating in the demonstrations are TV actors, movie actors The actor obviously still has to wait and see how things develop.

Moreover, all the episodes of Studio Eleven have all stood in the screenwriter camp and participated in the strike, and even the filming of "Mamma Mia" has suspended the filming, showing absolute support. After the strike started, Eleven Studio was the first company among the major film companies, including independent film companies, to voluntarily terminate the filming of their works and cooperate with the screenwriters on strike. This attitude is obviously Evan Bell's attitude.

Therefore, it stands to reason that it is not uncommon for Evan Bell to appear at the strike demonstration site, but the problem is that Evan Bell's appearance is undoubtedly an attitude. He will express full support for the writers' strike. He also It will stand on the opposite side of the major film companies and seek benefits for the screenwriters. So what's going to be involved... Facebook... Seeing this, journalists are starting to wonder: Why did the writers' strike choose Rockefeller Plaza? In fact, at the beginning, everyone thought that the space here was large enough, and it happened to be the entrance of the TV station, and the traffic was convenient, so it was very suitable as a place for demonstrations. But what about now? Does Evan Bell play any role in it, whether the competition between Hulu and uTube is involved, and whether the entanglement of interests between Eleven Studios and TV stations is related... The wings of imagination have begun to spread.

In fact, it's not just the reporters. Even the Producers Guild of America, TV stations, and other major companies have begun to murmur. Starting with Jeff Zucker of Universal Television, major companies have urgently held meetings to re-discuss the cause of the strike. impact. After all, Evan Bell and Eleven Studios have more interests involved than everyone thinks, and they must determine their position - or they must determine Evan Bell's position!

What's more, Evan Bell was not alone when he arrived at the scene! Ryan Gosling, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Lawrence and many other line-ups of friends all appeared in Rockefeller Plaza, and the excitement made it so exciting. People have to look sideways.

But in fact, not only the Rockefeller Plaza where the TV station is located, but also all the movie companies have a team of screenwriters demonstrating at the entrance, but because of the relationship between the venue, the screenwriters gathered in Rockefeller Plaza.

After Evan Bell appears, it will cause a commotion in the screenwriters union. In fact, it can be seen that this young man has a very outstanding reputation in the screenwriters union. His presence is obviously a huge incentive for everyone, which makes the screenwriters who have just arrived on a shift. , The screenwriters who were about to leave all rushed over to greet Evan Bell and expressed their welcome.

Evan Bell has no airs today. He is not an actor, not a director, but a screenwriter. He is just a screenwriter. He came to express his support for the screenwriter, and it can be regarded as fulfilling his original promise. Action expresses the strongest support.

In the eyes of others, Evan Bell's actions are actually very willful, because he is not only a screenwriter, but also a point of interest in Eleven Studio. He is also an opinion leader, so his attitude is decisive. , he should also be cautious with other CEOs of large companies. This is also an important reason why Patrick Varone went specifically to find Evan Bell. But Evan Bell just doesn't play cards according to the rules. He has no consciousness of being the head of an important film company. He still joins a group of behind-the-scenes workers who compete for his own interests. For other film companies, it is absolutely It's an absurd behavior and a headache.

The same is true, Evan Bell started chatting freely with other screenwriters in Rockefeller Plaza, and completely integrated into the group; but his ease was not found in other studios~www.readwn. com~ Almost all studios are starting to get busy.

Teddy Bell's phone fell into chaos in an instant, making people suspect that his phone was about to crash, and when Teddy Bell's phone couldn't get through, all the landlines of Studio Eleven became hotline. Not only the heads of major film companies, but also many reporters, everyone wants to know the true attitude of Eleven Studios, after all, it is too involved.

And Nicholas Conte, the chairman of the Producers' Union of America, couldn't help being stunned. He had no idea that the Writers Guild would actually pull in Evan Bell as a strong aid. This was a huge loss for the Producers' Union. They didn't expect it at all before. this aspect. However, the screenwriters' union has no intentions, and has made all the planning in advance, and it is a normal result that the producers will be at a disadvantage.

Now, regret is useless. What the American Producers Association has to do is to turn the tide of the battle before the major film companies make a move! In desperation, Nicholas Conte also began to call Teddy Bell's mobile phone, but the words from the other end were, "Sorry, the phone you dialed is on the phone."
