Chapter 1697： tug of war

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

There are actually many reasons for the suspension of "Prison Break". Of course, the strike by the writers' union is one of the most important factors, but in the final analysis, it is actually the decline in the quality of the drama itself.

It can be seen from the audience's reaction that, as predicted by Evan Bell - to be precise, the same development trajectory as the previous life, the decline in the quality of the third season of "Prison Break" caused the audience to complain and also made this A work that was hailed as a "drama" in its first season was reduced to mediocrity almost overnight.

Under such circumstances, the media also had to admire the "magical ability" of Eleven Studio, and Evan Bell's consistent adherence to the script has passed through the second and third "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies. The influence of , and the clear example of "prison break", coupled with the outstanding performance of Eleven Studios in recent years, has gradually spread in Hollywood.

For a long time, scripts have always been highly valued in Hollywood, but compared to producers, they are still slightly inferior. And Evan Bell's insistence on the script has always taken the high-quality line, which has allowed Eleven Studio to develop to this day, which also makes the trend of attaching importance to the script on the rise.

If this situation appeared at any other time, it must have been a happy scene, but it appeared in a situation where the screenwriters were fighting for their legitimate rights and interests, then it was very sensitive. The failure of "Prison Break" after the remarriage, to a certain extent, increased the momentum of the screenwriters, and also made the producer camp more depressed.

When it came to the day when the screenwriters submitted their scripts every Thursday, and sure enough, most of the screenwriters' union did not respond. It seems that the strike action of the screenwriters' union is bound to continue. With popular dramas such as "24-Hour Little "Prison Break", "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives" entering the winter break two months ahead of schedule, the tug-of-war game between the writers' union and the producer's union is also getting worse. It is getting more and more tense. From the current point of view, the Screenwriters Guild has a slight advantage, although it is only a very slight lead, but it is not easy when the interests are so closely entangled.

Subsequently, the advantages of the Screenwriters Guild began to increase little by little.

On November 17th, "The Da Vinci Code..." author Dan Brown's other novel "Angels and Demons" was adapted into a film. The filming was officially postponed and became the first victimized film. 0 has the first film , there is a second part, followed by "Crash" screenwriter Paul Haggis wrote "007 Quantum of Solace..." Will Smith starring "National Superman Hancock" Adam Sandler's comedy work "Don't mess with Zohan" all stopped. Obviously, the strike of the screenwriters has begun to spread from the TV series industry to the film industry.

At the same time, the entire Hollywood actors were united, led by Woody Allen, the king of New York, Evan Bell, Sean Penn, the two thorns, and Tim. Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Jane Fonda, Charlize Theron, Ethan Hawke X Philip Seymour Hoffman and other actors spent less than two days shooting a video The short film, which was fully released on websites such as utude, expressed support for the screenwriter.

This time, it is naturally the most individual Woody-Allen in history. In his 40-year directorial career, the old man has always been a representative figure of subversive genre. Card's boycott attitude is even more legendary. He relied on "Annie Hall" in 1947 to get the best picture, best director, best screenwriter, and best actress four golden statuettes of Oetuska that year, but He refused to attend Otushka to accept the award because he thought it was a pointless occasion, and he would rather play the clarinet in a small New York bar than to attend Otyuska. Woody Allen's only appearance on stage at O'Neuska was nine years later for his beloved New York.

This short film by Woody Allen in support of the Screenwriters Guild is inspired by Pop Art master Andy Warhol's famous "eenTeata" - a black-and-white film showing the idols of the late 1960s .

In the camera, Evan Bell said something to the camera seriously, but he couldn't hear what he said at all. On the contrary, the audience heard the chirping of birds and the sound of gurgling water. With another set of shots, the voiceover recreates the opening sequence of the 1950s TV series "The City That Never Sleeps," and as the camera moves across the Manhattan skyline, the voice goes, "There are eight million legends in this city, and this is one of them. The one." Then the camera returned to Evan-Bell's gray face again, but Evan-Bell didn't say anything, just moved.

In fact, the real significance of these shots is that there are pictures, actors and colors, but there are no lines, no plots, and no scenes, so all the shots lose their meaning.

This video was put on Youtube, and within just 24 hours, the hit rate exceeded 2 million. But the irony is that utube is the main battlefield where screenwriters and producers compete for interests, and most of the film companies that uTude maintains are the targets of screenwriters' objections.

In addition, the Screenwriters Guild has also produced a series of videos named "Sorrowful Words", more than 50 of which appear at the end of each video. The most important thing is to tell the story through these videos. The role of screenwriters around the world can also attract more public attention to the strike.

When the collateral damage becomes more and more extensive, it is impossible for the producers' union to continue to stand still. They must come up with corresponding strategies and seek solutions, whether it is to stop the spread of the strike, or to promote the negotiation, or other possibilities. Sex, the producers will at least need to come up with some countermeasures.

Under this situation, Nicholas Liant finally found Evan Bell in a family restaurant in the lower Manhattan.

Nicholas Conte came to this restaurant after hearing the inside information. He stood at the door and looked for a while, and then saw Evan Bell in the middle. Obviously, at lunch today, Evan Bell was eating with his mother, and sitting across from him was Catherine Bell.

Evan-Bell was talking to Catherine-Bell in a low voice at this time. Catherine-Bell couldn't help but smile on her face, and then she saw Evan-Bell's smug smile. Judging from that expression, it was as if a first-year elementary school student had received his first award in his life and was showing off to his mother.

Only at such a moment will people realize that this young man named Evan Bell just celebrated his twenty-fifth birthday last week. Twenty-five years old, for many people, either their careers have just started, they have just graduated from college, or they are struggling in a prosperous city, but Evan Bell has already stood at the top of the world. Perhaps, Evan Bell's assets are far from the giants like Bill Gates, but he can also be called a winner in life.

Nicholas Conte stood at the door like this, looking at Evan Bell, he was thinking about what kind of person the boy in front of him was, and how he should conduct the next conversation. The rumors about Evan Bell in the circle have never been interrupted, and Nicholas Conte believes that these are not credible, or seeing is believing.

In fact, Nicholas Conte has always insisted that he didn't come to find Evan-Bell. Isn't it a game? It is a pity that Nicholas Conte's plan to use the hands of other major film companies to put pressure on Evan-Bell failed, because Evan-Bell has participated in the strike since November 5th. After the trip, I stayed in the editing room for the post-production of "The Blood Is Coming", and didn't show up at all. The activities of the screenwriter's strike are more supported by Eleven Studios, which shows Evan Bell's unswerving position.

However, Evan Bell did not take the initiative to propose the change of the pink ratio of utude, so it did not touch the interests of the major film companies, and also made the heads of the directors not in a hurry for the time being. It can be felt that although Evan Bell is in the screenwriter's camp, he has not completely lost his mind. He still knows that the change in utube's dividend ratio is not what the Eleven Studios said.

But the problem is that the heads of major film companies can not be in a hurry, but Nicholas-Conte, the head of the American Producers Union, has to be anxious, because the spread of the strike situation has become more and more far-reaching~www. novelhall.com~ If there is no corresponding strategy, it will definitely be a disaster.

Nicholas Conte is looking for Evan-Bell, not to say that Evan-Bell is so crucial and important, although Evan-Bell has a good influence in the screenwriters union and the producer union, but everyone knows that, This time the game is a competition of interests between groups, and individual power is ignored. The real reason why Nicholas Conte looked for Evan Bell is actually the issue of uTubE's dividend ratio.

As a leader in the video website industry, Y. How much profit uTubE is willing to share and whether it is willing to negotiate with other film companies is related to the scale of the Producers Union in meeting the conditions of the Screenwriters Union; moreover, Eleven Studio's attitude towards the Producers Union is also to a certain extent The tendency to affect the balance of this negotiation.

Therefore, Nicholas Conte must find Evan Bell, even though he has been delayed for a long time, this meeting is still imperative. In the tug-of-war game with the writers' union, the producers' union still has the ability to compete, but in the tug-of-war game with Evan Bell, Nicholas Conte was destined to not be able to take too much advantage from the very beginning. .

Nicholas Conte looked at Evan Bell who was smiling like a child, took a calm breath, and then walked in the direction of Evan Bell.
