Rebirth in Hollywood

If you have not remembering the wrong, Joen Lucas said is "Drug", this typical suede comedy, in North America, still very market, since the encounter, Ruian will definitely not miss, just let What he didn't expect is that Jon Lucas has been to the Disney shadow, but after signing the intention of cooperation, this project has to temporarily suspend. .

The reason is very simple, as a member of the Screenweeper Association, Jon Lucas should respond to the call of the Writing Association.

Since the largest screenwriter strike since 1988, it is inevitable.

In fact, from the 5th last month, there are hundreds of the members of the Plays Association, gathered around the protests around the major film and television companies, and they raised the slogan of treatment, and shouted from time to time "closed! Hollywood is the world of the union "" "" ""

These people in front of the team, Warner Brothers, and 20th century Fox waiting for the team leader in front of the team.

The screenwriter is low in the Hollywood position, which is lower than the other associations, except for a few gold plateaundics, most of the screenwriters can enjoy the DVD and other revenue of the film.

The distribution of interest can be said to be the biggest cause of this strike outbreak.

According to the previous agreement reached by the Screenwriter Association and the Producer Alliance, the price of major TV networks to the TV drama script is about - ,.

Many of the screenwriters are far more than this, the film script bills produced by the Grand Movie Company have at least $ 1 million, and each film of well-known screenwriters may get 4 million US dollars.

Last year, the average annual income of Hollywood plays was $ 200,000, compared with Los Angeles county residents and the average annual income of most Americans.

However, the eyes of the scriptts will certainly not look down, they are staring at the actors, directed and producer, and plays their income with the actors, director and film and television companies. Discover the interests of great salary increase.

According to the Screenwriter Association, the income increase rate of the association has not yet the increase of the increase in the increase in the entire entertainment industry, many screenwriters still complain that in the eyes of the big company, they can have no people.

In fact, there is no truth, in addition to the plays repellent with Disney, other companies do not pay attention to ordinary screenwriters, even because of the relationship between the agreement, do not like to use the Screenplay Association.

In the 1990s. The screenwriter location of the film and television industry is occupied by the members of the Screenweered Association, and this proportion is fifteen percent!

The major companies have a large number of exterior plants of the cheap association to make film and television dramas, cartoons and live show, which has also deepened the contradiction between the two parties.

So, the War between the Screenplay Association and the Producer Alliance hit.

Before December, the Screenplay Association negotiated with the Make People's Alliance, and they believe that the average annual annual annual income of the association is less than $ 40,000, such income conditions are below the average income of American citizens, so they call to increase their salary and divide into Especially in the new media to get a substantive dividend. The most obvious manifestation is the percentage of DVD and network points.

It is well known that the US DVD market and emerging network payment areas are quite a large, in fact, it is the main interest source of Hollywood major manufacturers. How come the major film companies behind the Producer League easily compromise.

Although there is no participation. But Ruian itself is also tough, even if it is to compromise, it will not be so easy, otherwise, the later actor association and the director association are like a mess. It will be jumped out, as a representative of the big company, he naturally stood in the producer alliance.

The development of things is far as simple as imagined. Some negotiations have been in failure, the film company and the producer alliance adhere to their position, and can even be said to be strong. After all, the requirements of the screenwriter association will lead to the cost of movie shooting, issuance, etc..

On the second day after Charliz's hospital reception, the negotiation group represented by the Campan League Chairman Kangt was in a series of requirements for the Screenwriter Association after a 12-hour negotiation. A large strike sweeping the entire North American industry finally broke out on Friday.

Even companies like Disney have a scriptures, it is inevitable, "hanging" is just one of the epitome.

However, Joen Lucas is a smart person, understands the opportunity to be rare, privately guaranteed to Juls Stewart, as long as the strike is over, it will immediately sign a formal contract with the Disney product.

The strike quickly spread to the entire Hollywood, and there were more than 2,000 screenwriters to participate in it, and many people walked to Hollywood Avenue to protest.

The Plays the Society's last collective strike was in 1988, lasting for 22 weeks, bringing more than $ 500 million to the entire industry. This strike will inevitably bring greater pain, because the entertainment industry is now growing into one The behemoth, even if it is not a peripheral industry, it also occupies ten percent of the US economy, that is, the almost $ 50 billion output value is about 50 billion US dollars.

But the same, from future overall strategies, the Hollywood manufacturer of six companies is the main body, and will not compromise.

A batch of film and television dramas will inevitably become a temporary victim.

On the day of the strike, all the offshore shows immediately shut down.

On December 17, "24 hours" announced this quarter to cancel, becoming the first unlucky TV series.

On December 20th, the "Da Vinci Password" sequel "Angel and Devil" shooting postponed, becoming the first unlucky movie.

On December 23, "007: Quantum Crisis" is temporarily suspended, adding to this ranks.

On December 26, Christmas had just passed, the heavy drama "Ding Ding Event" was temporarily put aside ...

If so, the production person alliance still shows a tough attitude, even if it is re-sitting back to the negotiation table, it will not be concession, and the strike is still going on.

The new year came, Hollywood did not have a joyful atmosphere, and the shadow of the strike shrouded throughout the North American head.

On January 4, 2008, the Screenweered Association refused to write a line for the Golden Global Award, announced the boycott of the Golden Award.

The Golden Globe Awards Ceremony was forced to cancel, changed to the form of press conferences, Natalie got the best story heroine.

All people began to worry about the Oscar awards ceremony next month, if Oscar is also canceled, that is not only the losses of money, as well as Hollywood's face ...

Even Wall Street also released an early warning. If this strike lasts for five months, the resulting economic losses will be as high as 25 billion US dollars.

In this context, the news group's Ruberts Murdoch, Via Kangmmad's Summer, the NBC Global CEO Kiel? Yang, Time Warner's Board of Directors Tang Rogen, also representative Disney's Ryan, held a secret talks in Maribab.

"Strike can't continue." Talking is Summer. Leishidong.

This is the consensus of everyone, although the $ 25 billion figures are purely Wall Street, but the strike continues for too long, and will definitely affect the gains of major groups.

"We can't easily compromise." Ryan's attitude is clear, "Don't forget, the agreement between the Producer Alliance and the Director Association and the actor association has expired, if we promise the condition of the Platma Society, it will bring a chain reaction."

He looked at the media giants in a seat. "I don't want to think too much to give us our interests?"

"My people have done a statistics." Ruberts Murdoch slowly said, "As long as Oscar ends this strike, our losses are about $ 300 million."

Although there is competition, this is the natural interest community, and it is also a good preparation in advance as a media group of the news.

"Don't forget, the loss is more than us." Ruien snorted, "It is expected that the strike will cause a salary loss up to $ 855 million, while the income loss of other shadowers and industry associations is 500 million. Dollar. "

The Writing Association strikes, it is not only the production people alliance, the crew and show of the stop, which will also damage the interests of other occupations.

"So we are reaching a consensus?" Tang Dang, Chairman of the Times Warner's board of directors asked.

Others point, Ruien finally said, "After returning to the negotiation table, drag the negotiations and drag to the Oscar, let the Producer Alliance and Screenwriter Association face the pressure from all aspects, we must make Some concessions can't make the scriptwriting association to achieve goals. "

This strike damage is the interests of the whole industry, compared to the production people of the major companies, the pressure of the screenwird association will be larger.

On January 15th, under the weight of the parties, the Screenweered Association had to announce the release of Gray, they first made a compromise.

Then, the production person alliance also made a concession, and the new round of 'informal negotiations began with the screenwriter association.

Take the President of the news group, Sherney, Disney CEO, Robert, Nick, Chairman, Chairman, Chairman, Chairman of the Planwriter Association, David, the West Coastal Screenwriter Association, Executive David, Executive David, Executive David? Yang and Association The head of the coordination committee John Bowman returned to the negotiating table, and the strike finally exposed the end of the dawn.

However, as Ryan said, the Producer Alliance will not make steps easily, which is inevitably a tricked negotiation.

At the same time, as the media group of six major corporate parent companies, it also applies pressure on the media. For example, the script that is not sufficiently filmed by major company reserves; such as the Overseas World, from English, Australia and other English countries and France , Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea purchased movie copyright, and even introduced overseas screenwriters to try sexual writing, etc.

In fact, this is to press the editorial association.

Of course, these people in Ryan also clear that the Producer Alliance must make a concession.
