Different from the negotiations between major Hollywood production companies and the necessities of land must be fought for. The film industry is most worried about the Oscars, which is the largest decoration facade in Hollywood, and no one wants to see the shutdown happen.

To this end, the School of Film Arts and Sciences canceled the nominee luncheon and directly announced the nomination list in the press conference.

As a popular Oscar film created in various situations, "Black Swan" won six nominations: Best Director, Best Film, Best Editing, Best Photography, Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress, which is one of the biggest winners on the nomination list. Moreover, Ryan received news that in the nomination for Best Actress, Natalie ranked first with an absolute advantage in the number of votes.

This Oscar best actress is almost the thing in my pocket.

However, Ryan did not relax. Even though the strike was a hot topic, his people still did not give up their public relations efforts. In the history of Oscars, nominations had an advantage but were later turned over.

After the nomination list was announced, the college was very worried that the Oscars ceremony was suspended because the screenwriters' strikes, so they were prepared for it. If the strikes continued, the college would launch an emergency party.

In addition, the college also sent a special person to intervene in the negotiations and urged the two sides to reach an agreement as soon as possible.

The Washington authorities are also making efforts. The fragile economic situation in the United States will definitely not withstand the torture of a long strike. Hollywood has been tied to Wall Street several years ago. An accident in Hollywood will not only have problems with the entertainment industry, the pillar industry, but will even exacerbate the turmoil on Wall Street.

Ryan's worries did not appear a long time ago. The Screenwriters Association had never looked for him. I think so, even a fool knew which side he would sit in in such a thing.

Time slowly dragged into February, and the negotiations made no progress. The producer alliance, supported by five major media groups such as News Corp, Viacom, Time Warner and Walt Disney, was extremely tough.

This is a necessary attitude to the outside world, even though Ryan and others are ready to make concessions.

Cracking the screenwriter's strike can only be the producers' alliance to make concessions, and there is no way out.

If any industry wants to operate normally, both labor and capital must abide by the "rules of the game" of mutual recognition and fairness. It seems natural that the entire entertainment industry has tens of billions of dollars in profits every year to give the screenwriter a piece of the pie.

But capital is born to pursue profits, and the cake of commercial groups is undoubtedly digging out meat from capitalists.

The main difference between the two sides is that the producers require that the cost of movies and TV programs be paid part of the remuneration; while the screenwriter requires that the screenwriter improve the treatment of screenwriters in movies, TV series and reality shows, and the producers must pay the screenwriter's DVD share, with a share ratio of up to 2%. In addition, the income share of downloading programs on the Internet on-demand must also increase from zero to 4.5%.

The conditions for this piece are absolutely unacceptable to the production company and the producers' league.

“Have no agreement been reached yet?”

Sitting on the bench in the garden, Natalie asked with great concern, "Will the Oscars really stop?"

No one wants the first Oscar in his life to announce at a press conference that if there is a lack of grand occasions, the weight of this best actress will definitely be underestimated by countless people.

"Don't worry, Nat."

After taking Natalie's bow and arrow, Ryan set off his bow and aimed at the target on the palm tree, let go of the bowstring, the arrow crossed the low wall and flew into Scarlett's home next door.

Ryan threw away the longbow, "An agreement will be reached soon, and the Oscars will definitely be held on time."

"Just wait for you to nod?" Natalie looked at Ryan.

"The screenwriter leaves all our profits." Ryan said naturally, "so, even if we make concessions, we must show our attitude."

There was a heavy sound of closing the doors by the wall. When Ryan turned to look, Scarlett walked towards this side with a long blunt arrow.

"Ryan, this is the first time you have shot an arrow into my garden?" she shouted.

"Hey, my dear." Ryan waved to the other side, "I know the crew is out of date, you're bored at home, so I'm calling you over and chatting in this way."

"You shot my flower room glass."

Scarlett hurried over and threw the long arrow to Ryan, "This is the second time!"

"Okay, Scar." Ryan stuffed the arrow into the quiver hanging on the side, "I'll call you to come here for repair."

"Nat, can you take care of your boyfriend?" She sat next to Natalie.

"This is a matter between you." Natalie immediately got out of the matter, "Don't pull me."

Walking aside, Ryan took out his cell phone, called John, and asked him to find someone to repair Scarlett's flower house.

Hearing Ryan's words, Scarlett put down his bulging face, "Ryan, I solemnly ask you not to continue shooting arrows, okay? You don't even have one-third of the accuracy of Nat."

"Okay, I promise." Ryan put away his phone and walked back.

“When will the strike end?”

After Ryan sat on the other side of Natalie, Scarlett asked with concern, "My crew has been on hold for a month."

"It's almost there, it's only a few days." Ryan made a gesture of peace of mind to her.

"I knew this would have happened," Scarlett muttered, "I went to Africa with Alison. Yesterday she sent me a few photos and took photos with a sensation in South Africa."

"She will not be robbed by the sensation, will she?" Natalie showed some curiosity.

It has been no longer news that some South African cities are in a turmoil. These protected animals often rob restaurants and pedestrians openly.

"It doesn't look like it's not." Scarlett shrugged, "I'll send you to your email tonight."

Discussing the African style and Hollywood's latest charity scandal, the three of them left the garden and walked towards the villa, during which Scarlett's complaints about the suspension of work were inevitable.

The crew she was in had smelled the possibility of a strike in advance, and finally completed the details and lines of the script before the screenwriter went on strike. Although the general structure had been formed, this still led to the crew being in a vague state of waiting for or waiting for the shutdown, and many selected characters such as Scarlett had to wait for the end of the strike.

As soon as he walked into the villa, the sound of a car engine came from the vestibule. A black Bentley car was parked in front of the villa. Natalie's mother, Mrs. Shelley, pushed the door and walked down.

Seeing Mrs. Shelley who was very disliked, in order to avoid the intensification of the conflict, Ryan offered his farewell at the right time, and told him that Natalie and Scarlett would be given the gift, so he would prepare his dress with peace of mind. The Oscars ceremony will definitely be held as scheduled.

In mid-February, the tug-of-war negotiations between the Producers Alliance and the Screenwriters Association finally reached a preliminary agreement. The major production companies in Hollywood made certain concessions. The Screenwriters Association and the Producers Association signed a three-year temporary contract.

The contract not only increased the basic salary of the screenwriter, but also won 0.6% of DVDs and 2.3% of online on-demand revenue share. This not only includes works starting from now, but also previous works can also draw a certain proportion.

The Screenwriters Association then held a membership vote, unanimously agreeing to stop the protracted strike tug-of-war with only 283 votes against it.

The Screenwriter Association also sent an email to each member, calling on everyone to resume work immediately.

"The strike is over, tomorrow, the screenwriters will be in their own positions and everything will return to normal."

Patrick Veron, chairman of the Screenwriter Association, said at a press conference that "The strike is not what we expect. We are just trying to get a reasonable commission in the revenue of new media dramas. Now, the results we have achieved are enough to gain a foothold in this digital age."

The producers have paid a certain amount of benefits. Although the Screenwriters Association has not reached the initial request, the results of the negotiations have already been satisfied by most people.

For decades, the nature of the work of screenwriters has not changed, just picking up a pen to create, but the ways and platforms for disseminating their works are changing all the time. If 20 years ago, video tapes were a new type of rising communication force, then now it is DVD and the Internet.

It is obviously impossible if the writers refuse to change their way of paying just because their working methods have not changed.

The Hollywood producers are very aware of this.

"This is the best treatment we have received in 30 years," said many screenwriters in interviews.

Although the screenwriters have a share of DVD and Internet revenues as they wish, the term "best treatment" is more like a long breath after the tug-of-war.

This three-year temporary contract is at best a psychological bottom line price, and the strong position of the producers alliance cannot change with the strike.

It is predictable that the way strikes reach interest demands will become a model for Hollywood, with the 1988 strike and the 2008 strike at least ostensibly winning some of the benefits they need for the weak writers, and perhaps, the next Hollywood-style strike is not far away.

Labor-management conflicts can never be completely resolved.

This screenwriter strike subverted the viewing habits of tens of millions of American TV viewers. The strike caused a large number of plot dramas and comedy to stop production, and the shooting plans of many large-scale films were forced to be interrupted. While it temporarily exhausted the livelihoods of 12,000 members of the Screenwriter Association, it also caused more than 100,000 film and television industry-related staff to lose job opportunities.

With the end of the strike, in addition to the screenwriters and producers, the most benefited was the Oscars. Since the strike started last year, a series of award ceremony has been aborted due to the strike. Screenwriters began to prepare for the Oscars, and all nominated screenwriters who won the script award will also be present.

The Oscars ceremony, which was originally planned to be held on February 24, can finally be held as scheduled.r1152
