Chapter 510

Leiris said awkwardly, "no! I'm just curious. How can you digest such a big steak?"

Mark said, "don't you call me a vampire? As a special species, my digestion is very strong."

Laires was even more embarrassed and said, "this is some good guys in the trade union doing something. I didn't participate in it. I just went to Universal Studios to shout a few slogans."

Giselle said, "Shanda, there is no good result to follow these people. Mm can not have grey intern, but have you considered your loss?"

Leiris said angrily, "I was forced. I lost at least three million. After all, I am a member of the trade union."

Mark said, "I am also a member of mm. I am alone in the screenwriter department. I regard you as a right hand, but in exchange for betrayal."

Lairis put down his knife and fork and sighed, "do you think I'm out of my mind? I haven't betrayed you. I haven't said a bad word about you. I'm nothing without grey intern. I understand that, sir, but it's the decision of the trade union. No matter how big you are, you must obey."

Mark said, "what about your self? Also, it's me who writes the check, not the union. You must have a position, Ms. leiris."

Giselle said, "Shanda, what mark wants to ask you is when to go back to work." compared with Mark's large bowl of meat and wine, each piece he cuts into his mouth is the amount of three or four shares of others. Giselle is more elegant and calm. He cuts it piece by piece, chews it slowly, and tastes the beef carefully. However, the two couples sing and cooperate quite tacitly.

Leiris said, "if I don't come back, someone will go up quickly?"

Mark said, "thirty thousand employees of MM group, who have you seen me waiting for?"

Seeing that leiris was a little embarrassed, Giselle said: "Today's steak is Angus beef ribs flown from Australia this morning. The proportion of fat and meat is just right. Slowly grill the steak with charcoal fire for about 10 minutes until the surface is golden, put it into the oven, and finally serve it with beef bone juice cooked in the restaurant for 48 hours. The steak has a strong aroma, delicious and tender meat, rich juice and thin with oil. You shouldn't eat it It's time to miss. "

The battle axe steak is a figurative metaphor, "the axe handle" is an ox rib, "and the axe "It's beef rib eye. To put it bluntly, it's beef with bone. The Tomahawk steak has very strict standards for the age of cattle, the feed used and the size of steak. Usually, calves about 6 months old are fed for 70 days after weaning, and then slaughtered. Bones about 30 cm long and meat bones weighing about 1 kg are cut from the ribs. Because they are shaped like an axe, they are called war axe Steak, a cow can only cut up to ten Tomahawk steaks. The tail ribs are too short and the meat is not thick enough, so they can't be cut into axe shape.

The Tomahawk steak is domineering. If it's not more than 1kg, I'm sorry to say it's Tomahawk steak. Mark's share is directly more than 2kg, but there's no half between their conversations. Mark said: "it's a very good steak, but if you want to eat it, you must have a good appetite and digestion. If you can't eat it, it's wasted."

"OK! I'll go back to work after the new year, and everyone else will go back. I hope the seat is still there," leiris said

Mark said, "as long as you have one heart, there will always be a place for you around me, Sanda."

Leiris finally felt relieved and said, "thank you, sir!"

Giselle smiled and said, "we mm agree to the conditions you put forward in principle, and the 23 lawsuits filed by the company can also be revoked, but there are no wages and benefits when you are not working. The bottom line is that you have money when you have a job, and no one can be an exception."

Leiris was knocked down by a great surprise and immersed in happiness and joy. She said, "yes?"

Giselle said: "basically, Duke of the human resources department will talk to you about the specific details. This clause is limited to MM group. We will not lobby trade unions or other companies."

Leiris liked the color and said, "thank you for your generosity."

Mark said, "I think you're worth the price, not what you're fighting for. I don't want to give it. No one can get it."

"Yes, sir! I understand that," said Larry.

Mark always did things unexpectedly. At the beginning, he was recognized as the best to talk about, but he was the toughest of the six giants. However, when he won a complete victory, he agreed to the writers' conditions.

Lairis was in a good mood and had a good appetite. The steak looked particularly delicious.

While eating, mark didn't forget to feed his son. However, after eating a little, little Martin felt that this cool thing was far less sweet and soft than milk and cake. He ate milk cake instead and refused to eat the steak sent by his father. Mark had to bring a small silver spoon and feed him the cake. Giselle ate while paying attention to the interaction between their father and son. His eyebrows and eyes were warm Soft and happy smile.

Larry didn't come here for miso rice. After getting a perfect answer, she ate quickly and left. Simon and others came with them, but she was the only one who could enter the house. The others waited in the coffee shop at the foot of the mountain, while most writers stayed in Los Angeles. It's about the job. No one dared to take it lightly until Mark's reply , everyone cheered and applauded. Finally, we can rest assured for Christmas, rest for a few days, and go to work after the new year.

After two months of persistence, they got what they wanted, which can be called a great victory.

Nowadays, the production method of film and television programs has taken a leap. The traditional background projection synthesis method is no longer used, and the electronic animal, which began with jaws and was widely used in the 1980s and 1990s, is not popular now.

At present, computer animation is widely used. For example, in the shooting of the film King Kong, the interaction between the heroine and the orangutan "King Kong" is actually shooting the heroine under the green background and then synthesized by computer. The consequence of the application of computer animation is that the composition of real-life performance is reduced and the composition of "behind the scenes" work of engineering and technical personnel is increased, This challenges the working mode of traditional screenwriters and actors.

Secondly, the communication form of film and television programs has changed dramatically. The low budget thriller "witch Blair" in 1999 has attracted a large number of viewers through viral marketing on the Internet, which has made the film's global gross income jump to 248 million US dollars. The discussion of Internet websites, bloggers and online comments has become a "noise" for the new film The audience's appreciation of film entertainment is also changing.

A survey of more than 1000 Americans conducted by the data survey company last year showed that 53% were willing to change the existing cable or satellite TV into Internet broadband TV; 88% believe that video phone will become a reality in the next five years.

Finally, the profit structure of film and television programs has also been transformed. The film box office was once the main source of income for producers, but now it is no longer popular. According to the statistics of several film and television entertainment groups by the consulting agency "global media intelligence", the total box office of films produced in the United States for the first time in the world in 2006, plus the total sales of pay TV and video tapes, was US $23.7 billion, It was 4.6% lower than that in 2004, but the cost soared by 13.2% to US $25.6 billion in the same period.

In other words, making a film is a losing business for producers. The main reason is that big stars, directors and producers took most of the "cake". For example, Will Smith, Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise and little plum, their salaries are all $15 million or even more than $25 million. Some famous directors also need millions of dollars, For example, Mark's 2515, therefore, producers must try their best to extend the "film production line" to make profits, such as selling DVDs or making series products. In 2004, the sales of major production companies in domestic cinemas in the United States was US $9.5 billion, but the revenue from DVD sales and rental reached US $21 billion. DVD sales has become an important way to ensure the profitability of films.

If screenwriters can't get a share of DVD and the latest Internet sales, their status will certainly become more and more marginalized and get nothing in the end. Such a concession will greatly increase their income.

When leiris and others happily returned to the writers' Union and reported the good news to white, there was nothing better than having the best of both worlds. They still didn't want to quit without quitting the union.

They also hope that the trade union will follow the precedent of the David show, cancel the boycott of the Golden Globe Award led by mm and lift the warning line as a response to MM's big concession.

White and other trade union leaders held a cautious attitude. The strike was a common decision. They hoped that the whole trade union would advance and retreat together. Some people accused lairis and others of making peace with giants without the presence of trade union representatives, which violated the procedure.

Finally, they hope that leiris and others will not agree to mark's conditions for the time being and advance and retreat together. Among the six giants, mm with the best and strongest financial situation has succumbed, and other companies will not be able to carry it. They will reach an agreement before the Oscar.

Leiris remembered Mark's strength. He accepted the condition when he had the upper hand. It was charity rather than surrender. A large predator who chewed down 2kg Tomahawk steak would never give in easily.

Leslie and others finally saw the faces of these people. Giselle was right. There was no good result mixing with these people.

This is also reflected in her favorite works gone with the wind or war and peace. Under the tide of history and collective interests, the fate of individual interests is not controlled. Some people are destined to become victims and others will become winners.

Lairis and others are all literati. They feel this more deeply. They decide to become winners and control their own destiny and interests.

At noon on Christmas Eve, leiris and other 504 writers announced their withdrawal from the writers' Union and formed a new union called beimi writers' Union.

Many people in Hollywood feel that this Christmas is not easy. Mark got into trouble after receiving a phone call.
