Nicholas-Conte personally came to the door to talk to Evan-Bell. In fact, the word conversation is not appropriate, because Nicholas-Conte just stood by the dining table and chatted with Evan-Bell for less than three minutes before and after. , and Nicholas Conte left. But these short three minutes produced enough effect.

​​

A week later, representatives of screenwriters and producers resumed negotiations. Although the negotiations still broke down this time, at least the two sides were sitting at the negotiating table again.

​​

You must know that after the beginning of November 5th, both the writers' union and the producers' union have adopted a tough attitude. Now, a month after the strike started, Nicholas Conte understood Evan Bell's attitude and had to start "compromising" and sat on both sides of the negotiating table with the screenwriter again. It can be said that Evan Bell's attitude, or uTube's attitude plays an important role in this tug-of-war match.

​​

As 2007 draws to a close, the American Film Institute has announced this year's annual event.

​​

The scandals of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, and other topical figures overshadowed even the war news, economic shocks, and other major international events, including Evan Bell who couldn't get along with them. On a par. The fascination with scandal in American culture is picking up again, this time pulling the entire country into the turmoil of gossip. Scandal, ranked sixth in this year's event of the year.

​​

The release of Phane, the Swedish film master Ingmar Bergman and the Italian film master Michelangelo Antonioni, two of the most influential directors in the world, passed away on the same day on July 30. Together with the strikes of American screenwriters, it constitutes the top three events of the year.

​​

Among them, the screenwriter strikes the top of the list.

​​

The impact of the screenwriter's strike is actually not only causing a lot of trouble to the TV and film industries, but more importantly, it means that YouTube and other video sites have changed the original entertainment industry structure, and now the Internet has become a successor. Movies, TV, and radio are another profitable entertainment carrier. Just like the commercialization of digital music, it will have an immeasurable impact on the future of the entire entertainment industry. However, the commercialization of digital music is a peaceful evolution, and this time digital video has caused a lose-lose situation. As a result, it is still unclear.

​​

Since Nicholas Conte found Evan Bell, it seems that both the Writers Guild and the Producers Guild have chosen to let Evan Bell go. In fact, it can't be said to be "letting go", but they have clearly understood Evan Bell's attitude, and there is no need to pursue it. And the redistribution of Yahoo's interests is not a single word of Eleven Studios. This is a piece of fat that multiple groups such as screenwriters, producers, directors and so on compete with each other. Even if Evan Bell is a reborn man, he has no power to go Change the entire pattern of competing interests.

​​

Evan Bell was able to lead uTube to set off the reform of the entire American entertainment industry. This incident has made him destined to become an indispensable part of the long history. As for the division of interests after the change of the entertainment industry structure, it is not The part where he can reach out directly.

​​

So, the strike started on November 5th and negotiations resumed on December 7th, Evan Bell's name was repeatedly mentioned, but after December 7th until the end of the 2' year, in this game In the tug-of-war between writers and producers, Evan Bell's name disappeared from the incident again.

​​

The awards season at the end of 2007 was also overshadowed by screenwriters quitting their jobs. The seed camp composed of well-received works such as "Michael Clayton", "No Country for Old Men", "Survival in the Wilderness", "Murder of the Giant Tower", etc., can't focus people's attention on the awards season, what more The People's Choice Awards, the Billboard Music Awards, and the National Critics Association Awards are all suspended, except for the Gotham Awards, which were held as early as the end of November, because of their independent nature of production, which has no entertainment factor in itself, so it is avoided. Crisis of cessation, no awards ceremonies have yet kicked off the awards season.

​​

The reason for the screenwriter's refusal to write a series of words is one of the reasons. Actors choose to support the screenwriter and refuse to attend the award ceremony. .

​​

The New Year's bell in 2008 also failed to blow away the dark clouds shrouded in Hollywood's head. At this time, the name of Eleven Studio once again appeared in the public eye. The Writers Guild of America has changed its negotiation method. Instead of directly negotiating with the American Producers Union, it adopts a method of breaking down one by one and negotiating with the film and television company separately, hoping to reach an agreement with the film and television company first, and then accumulate more and more, prompting American producers Unions had to compromise.

Eleven Studio became the first film and television company to support the Screenwriters Guild. Although Eleven Studio once again stood on the opposite side of other peers, this time it was not a surprising result. After all, Evan- Bell expressed his attitude at the beginning of the strike, and actors, directors, screenwriters and other groups also expressed their absolute support for Eleven Studio's decision. Just less than two days after Studio Eleven and the Writers Guild of America re-signed the agreement, the 65th Golden Globe Awards ceremony was officially cancelled, as an award that can be compared with the Oscars and Grammys in terms of popularity. Ceremony, this is the first time in the 65-year history of the Golden Globes that such an embarrassment has been encountered.

​​

This year, the TV station that won the broadcast rights of the Golden Globe Awards is single-mindedly trying to pass the awards ceremony to boost the ratings, but now it has suffered such a heavy blow and has become the most seriously endangered case since the awards season. According to incomplete statistics, the Golden Globe Awards The cancellation of the awards ceremony cost the TV station more than 80 million US dollars!

​​

The joint boycott of the Screenwriters Guild and the Actors Guild put the Golden Globes in an embarrassing situation without guests present, and the fatal blow of the Directors Guild directly led to the cancellation of the Golden Globes. The contract between the Directors Guild and the Producers Guild expired in June 2008. The negotiation of a new contract, originally scheduled for the end of December 2007, was postponed to January 2008 due to the strike of the Writers Guild. In fact, the Directors Guild negotiated The core is the same as that of screenwriters, and it requires more interests in network and new media income. However, the stalemate between the producers' union and the screenwriters' union made the directors' union's patience disappear. After 2008, under the stimulation of Eleven Studios, they also began to challenge the producers' union and set the time for re-negotiation. for January 7th!

​​

As a result, the negotiations between the directors' union and the producers' union also collapsed, and the Golden Globe Awards ceremony became the object of sacrifice. Of course, the screenwriters raised a cordon at the gate of the Golden Globe Awards venue to prevent the guests from entering the venue, which was also one of the decisive factors.

​​

Subsequently, United Arts, an independent production company owned by Tom Cruise, also reached an agreement with the Writers Guild. Lionsgate and Summit Entertainment followed closely. At present, most independent studios have completed the agreement with the Writers Guild. agreement. But Hollywood's crocodiles are not willing to let go and there is no sign of loosening.

​​

This continued until the end of January. The Golden Globes on January 13th were a major wake-up call.

​​

With the ceremony canceled, TV CEO Jeff Zucker defied threats from the writers to quit and forced the Golden Globes ceremony to be held. Time-scheduled news programs, and the list will be announced in the form of a press conference. But not only did the writers, actors, and directors not buy it, but the audience didn't buy it either. This was even regarded as the most absurd decision since Jeff Zucker took office.

​​

The most immediate reaction was that Jeff Zucker was disqualified from continuing negotiations on behalf of the Producers Guild of America. This was a fatal blow for Jeff Zucker because he was replaced by TV chief David Westin, which was too sensitive a replacement. The TV station and Disney are both antagonistic alliances, and Disney’s TV station has always had a good cooperative relationship with Eleven Studio-since there was a small flaw between Eleven Studio and Fox TV, the TV station was in Eleven Studio. The position seems to have improved a lot.

​​

In addition, the TV station has been seeking the copyright of the Eleventh Studio singing talent show. For a long time, Fox TV station is not a direct competitor because of the "American Idol", but now the TV station is in a completely different situation. If the TV station grabbed the copyright of the new version of the singing talent show from Eleven Studios ahead of the TV station, then Jeff Zucker would not be so calm.

​​

In addition to Jeff Zucker, Warner Bros. CEO Barry Mayer, who has always advocated the use of threats and intimidation, was subsequently disqualified from negotiating ~www.readwn.com~ at the 65th Golden Globe Awards press release A week after the failure of the conference-style awards ceremony, Nicolas Conte, who had failed to make progress in negotiations for three months before and after, was also disqualified from negotiating.

​​

It can be seen from this move that although the concession of the independent production company does not seem to affect the overall situation on the surface, in fact, the attitude of the Eleven Studio still has a strong appeal, and the disaster of the Golden Globe Awards is even more pushed the situation to an extreme.

​​

On January 22, the Writers Guild of America announced the release of the Grammys; on January 23, the screenwriters and the new producer negotiating team launched "informal negotiations". At the same time, the 80th birthday Oscar is also prepared with both hands, on the one hand, it will be held as usual, and on the other hand, it will be a plan for how to proceed without a host or even a guest. After an arduous week of negotiations, the two sides finally reached a provisional agreement on February 8. Obviously, after the replacement of the three negotiators, the development of the situation has shown a completely different curve than before. Of course, the covetousness of the Actors Guild and the Directors Guild, the gradual increase in losses, and the unexpected toughness of the Writers Guild are one of the reasons.

​​

Subsequently, the Writers Guilds of the East and West of the United States voted separately, with more than 80% of the votes agreeing to the end of the strike. On February 13, the screenwriter's strike that lasted for 100 days finally came to an end.
