Chapter 277: The United States You Don't Know
Wu Xiang was really accused, and the people who sued him were not small!
There are people who sue him now, the Directors Guild of America, the Editing Guild of America, and the Screen Actors Guild...... And so on and so forth, and even the American Renovation Union!
It's all from the trade union, what the hell is the reason for these people? Is it because the idle eggs hurt?
No, do you remember that Wu Xiang bought the Cheng@Ren Film Company before? Then he laid off almost all the original employees, but as soon as these employees were laid off, they immediately went to the union where they worked.
What's wrong with Lao Tzu making @人movies?Workers who become @人movies also have human rights, and they also have trade union covers!
As a result, these unions sued Wu Xiang on the grounds that your management, which is now the owner of the film company, cannot cut people so arbitrarily, which is against American law.
However, to be honest, the law in the United States is quite interesting, the law in the common law system is not important, the important thing is the case, and it mainly depends on the mood of the judge and the jury.
This case is not big, so there is no jury at all, that is to say, the judge alone has the final say, and according to the previous case, this case is actually ambiguous.
Wu Xiang can be sentenced to violate the law, because there are too many layoffs, and generally there is an agreement for any company to acquire, that is, how much you can lay off and how much you can keep. And what about the absence of an agreement?
It's very simple, that is, look at the agreements of other companies, and compare them with the agreements of other companies' acquisitions, so that you can know whether you have broken the law or not.
Is that really the case?
That's true, because the United States is a common law system. This is the case in common law adjudication, where there are previous cases on how to impose penalties, and then based on the actual circumstances of the current case. to determine whether there is a violation of the law and whether there is a crime.
Unlike the civil law system, which is the 'written law' that is enforced in our country and on the European continent, there is a code, there is a legal basis, and every time the judge reads the judgment, he points out that you have violated that law. Which article, to put it clearly, the common law system does not say this. They will say whether you are guilty or not, and how you should compensate the victim.
In fact, they don't have a legal code, that is, the United States still has a written constitution, and even the United Kingdom does not even have a basic constitution. The constitution is unwritten.
Other words. Judging from the practice of other companies' acquisitions, Wu Xiang is indeed guilty this time!
However, the United States is a free country and pursues a free market economy, and if I buy it this time, I will lay off all the people, isn't this freedom? What right do you have to interfere with this freedom of mine?
And the most important point is that our company is small, although we have a high percentage of people who are laid off. But in fact, there are few people, compared with those large companies that need to sign an agreement on the issue of layoffs. Our layoffs are simply not enough to see.
If you want to say that, you're right!
Really, that's right, and there were actually a lot of cases in the United States on this free market economy before, such as the Roosevelt period, at that time, everyone knew that the American economy was the worst, so there was Roosevelt's New Deal, but this Roosevelt New Deal She was sometimes very perverted, because he stipulated that you business owners can't lay off people, you can't lay off people!
Roosevelt not only stipulated this, he even introduced a lot of bills, such as how many dollars should be sold for a chicken, such as a piece of clothing, how much should be charged when it is cleaned, such as a job, how much should you pay him at the minimum...... (Familiar, Roosevelt's New Deal = Planning the Economy!)
Almost everything is detailed, there are rules, but this is not right, these are all left in the US federal courts, for a case law judge, following these previous cases, he knows how to punish.
Wu Xiang is not guilty!
Then there is a contradiction at this time, it was originally a small case, a small labor dispute, just a few people, the judge scratched his head a little, so let's just give you a mediation in court first.
There is also a very strange existence in the American legal system, and that is lawyers.
There is a saying in Hong Kong that you can save money for your children's education and become a doctor or lawyer when you grow up. (Utterance of "Kung Fu" in Yuan @ Qiu, Yuan @ Hua)
It can be seen that lawyers are very able to make money, and their money is not in vain, they are really useful in the common law system.
The most powerful one is that the lawyer can help you intercede with the judge, and in some small cases, as soon as the lawyer pleads, the judge is 'emotional', and the fact that you have violated the law can reduce the punishment.
It's really a reduction, such as traffic violations, speeding on the highway, if this is a normal fine, it can punish you for crying, but as soon as the lawyer pleads, the fine is very rare, of course, you have to give the lawyer money.
Wu Xiang met such a lawyer, and they said, I will help you intercede, and the judge will give a light sentence, very light.
However, Wu Xiang understands it, you help me intercede, does that mean that I have to admit that I broke the law first?
Of course!
The lawyer's answer is also simple, but if you are a person who understands the law, you should understand when you hear this, isn't this the 'guilty defense' and 'not guilty defense' that our side has done?
But this is wrong, Lao Tzu came to you to open a company, and he hasn't done anything big, Lao Tzu is guilty, is this wrong?
So Wu Xiang quit, but this problem at hand needs to be solved, so can the judge really acquit him? The lawyer gave an answer in advance, and the current labor union is not small, and maybe this case will be lost.
So what to do?
In the end, Wu Xiang still came up with a solution.
Simply I'm not going to lay you off!
That's right, I, the employer, compromised, and you still come back to work, all of you have jobs.
Now there is no problem, and the job is saved, so who is not happy? The union can't say anything, and their purpose has been achieved.
Everyone was happy. But Wu Xiang was not very happy.
The main thing is that it's useless for him to keep these people, and don't forget, the wages of the workers on the side of the US imperialism are not low. With Wu Xiang's character as an iron rooster, can you eat for nothing and not work?
However, Wu Xiang has already thought about it, anyway, it will become a @ human film, Lao Tzu will never shoot it, and my company can't shoot it either, but. It seems that there is a place to break this rule.
Japan!
Wu Xiang thought of the island where the wool film industry was already calculated within the GDP, which was completely reasonable and legal. And now, 06 years on, there is no law in Japan that publishes @ people magazine comics related to underage children. It is an illegal and criminal act.
Little Japan. What is your lower limit?
Of course, Wu Xiang will not be so bottomless, just let these guys go to Japan to register, and then go there to make films, it's good there, our American company still has privileges, and there is no need to block it with mosaics......
There must be those who don't want to go, but you don't want to go. You can't blame me for losing my job, yes. This incident of the employee suing the boss can be considered a perfect solution here.
Wu Xiang has to spend some costs, give you a sum of money, I am the boss, but you are responsible for your own profits and losses, but with the advantage of your own rebirth, can you give them some good advice? Later, later......
But after all, this is a complete whitewashing of this company, as for the name of the new company, this one, there is Tokyo fever, there is a book, there are thousands of people, there is the Caribbean...... Hey, wait, since there's the Caribbean, let's call it Los Angeles!
So, under the strong pressure of the American trade unions, a film company called Los Angeles was established in Japan, and in the future, this company will sweep the entire island country Mao film industry.
Of course, this is all an afterthought......
After dealing with these things, Wu Xiang immediately returned to China, because the one he envisioned, the high trick of leading the domestic production team with the backbone of the United States, also had some problems.
What's the problem?
These Yankees are so hard to serve!
Originally, Wu Xiang was not in a hurry, he wanted people on both sides to run in, and then waited for Gyllenhaal and other leading actors to come out in the current period, and we started filming, but now, the production teams on both sides of China and the United States have big differences.
"Director Wu, you say, just that pudding, this thing and that thing every day, and then you should rest, you should get off work, and you won't wait for a second. But the next day, he said that our work efficiency was poor, and I was really speechless, this is all uncle. ”
This is Sun Daxing's complaint to Wu Xiang, originally at the beginning, Sun Daxing was very excited about having American professionals lead the team, and he really put himself in the position of a student, but now, he really can't stand it.
Not only Sun Daxing, but the entire crew felt that these 'experts' from the United States were very difficult to serve, difficult to contact, and difficult to urinate in a pot......
It's not easy to communicate, and sometimes these 'experts' from the United States have all kinds of strange requirements.
For example, where is the bar the highest, where can I find girls, and even where is the most beautiful 'lost girl', how much does it cost to stay overnight? What's more, is there marijuana smoking? Is there 'white @ noodles' for sale?!
This thing is normal, fundamentally speaking, that is, everyone's culture is different, and it is normal to have difficulties in interpersonal communication, but those strange requirements, this, this......
can only say that these people are all engaged in art, so Hollywood is engaged in art, not women, not big @hemp, not a little white @ noodles or something, can it be called an artist?
But it did have a bit of a headache, and Wu Xiang also complained to Sam Mendes, but that guy also thought it was all normal, and it couldn't be more normal.
In fact, Wu Xiang was a little prepared in his heart, he had heard of it before he was reborn, this is the situation in Hollywood, it is normal to take drugs over there, big @hemp is legal, as for the unspoken rules or something, they are not unspoken rules, they are simply rules, everyone who is on chuang, it is not called news, male stars and male stars, female stars and actresses, or they are with some unknown creatures, then it is called news!
But what now? Is this plan to learn directly from Hollywood not work? We have to go back to Hollywood to shoot?
(To be continued......
