Hearing this news, the popularity of the Writers Guild was ruined, and Christmas was over, they blocked the Golden Ball, Mark held the Golden Ball, and made it clear that he couldn't get along with them, and he did not know how long the strike would be delayed.

Mark has always had a good relationship with the Writers Guild, and this move is tantamount to a stab in the Union, but the grievance is that they still dare not expel Mark from membership, and God knows what bad results will come if they anger Mark.

In the face of accusations and criticisms from the workers' side, the MM spokesperson claimed: "This is a free country, a free society, we have the right to do anything that is not illegal, what reason does the screenwriters union have to consider themselves God and not allow others to do things?"

MM's tough statement left the screenwriters' union speechless, Bi Jing publicly said that the stars participating in the Golden Globe Awards are all from the Actors' Guild, and they can't control it, but they called the head of the Actors' Guild who has been supporting them and asked them to do something.

Kill a hundred people, and take care of the disobedient people under him.

This time, the actors' union is a turtle with a shrunken head, and they don't dare to talk more, and they ban the Mark Gang, what kind of joke is this? People are backed by the MM group, and they can't finish the work, they don't care about the actors' union at all, but the union is afraid that they will quit, in addition to the actors' union, there is also the artist alliance, their rules are less, the membership fees are cheaper, and they also have a lot of resources, stealing a lot of their market, which is the choice of many people.

There are at least 2,000 people in the actors' union working in MM company, and if these people want to strike and protest, this joke doesn't need to be made, on the contrary, the actors' union is still afraid of being banned by MM.

The head of the actors' union said that he was willing to protest and condemn these people, but would not take drastic measures, after all, this is a free society.

For this reply, the screenwriters' union felt like there were thousands of grass and mud horses whistling and trampling in their heads.

What is the use of protests and denunciations?

This time, the screenwriters' union understands that you can only rely on yourself.

And they also realized that the situation that they had created with great difficulty was changed by Mark's casual decision, and this Christmas and New Year were destined to be difficult.

And this completely infuriated them, they sent more people to guard the door of the MM headquarters, holding up signs, demonstrating and protesting, which caused them great inconvenience, this time their slogan was even more radical, they shouted: "All evil vampires, pay me back my hard-earned money!"

However, MM's human resources director Duke pointed out in an interview: "The screenwriters' guild is playing the role of the Hollywood policeman, holding the power and advantage of not knowing where it comes from, restricting the freedom of others, MM will no longer hire union people in principle in terms of employment, and now participate in the strike, and those who refuse to return to work will be treated as voluntary resignation, and the company's patience is limited, and it is impossible to vacate jobs for a long time." ”

MM, which had the best relationship with the screenwriters' union and was most likely to reach an agreement, took the lead in showing its fangs to the union, showing the ruthlessness of the capitalists.

Mark was blocked by a reporter when he was shopping with his wife and son, and asked him his opinion on this matter, Mark said that he had always been only responsible for the production, but asked about the company's administrative affairs, and expressed great regret for all this.

In the face of MM's crit, the first to sit still is the original MM screenwriters, who have the best salary in Hollywood, but they are subject to the union and participate in the strike.

For Laris, Monaghan, Michael and Simon, who are independent projects and get three or four million salaries, that salary is nothing, but for those who receive monthly salaries, it is now a catastrophe, and now there is a crisis of losing their jobs, like Leiris, they are also afraid of losing their jobs, so more than 500 of them gathered back to the union headquarters and asked Chairman White to give them an explanation, and guarantee their jobs and treatment, if not, they will go back to work.

White has a headache, now only rich and willful MM dare to be so bold, they used to regard the screenwriter as an assistant to the left and right, but at the very moment, they are determined to cut off their hands, and they will rebuild their own screenwriting department.

If you don't need people in the screenwriters' union, you will naturally not be bound by them.

"MM's actions have violated labor law, and we will have a lawyer sue them, and all the claims are unlawful, they will be invalid, and we can also claim sky-high damages if necessary," White said. ”

Lyris said: "Mr. White, at this time, you don't want to change the topic and talk as much as you want, as long as MM is willing, they can fire us, with Mark's person, he won't care about this compensation, and Mark's family runs a law firm, do you think you can win them?"

White said: "We are defending our rights legally, we are on strike legally, all resolutions are invalid during the strike, all disputes can only be resolved through negotiation, and there are more than 30,000 people in the Screenwriters Guild, you are your strong backing." ”

"I don't want any shield, just a job, what you have to tell us is that MM will cancel the dismissal decision, what to do is your business, if there is no satisfactory answer the day before the expulsion order takes effect, we will withdraw from the union and withdraw from the strike." ”

White exclaimed in shock, "You can't do this?"

"We have five hundred and four people, we can form our own union, no matter what you think, whether we are selfish or disregard the overall situation, we are willing to do anything to keep our jobs!"

Lyris's righteous words are supported by all the writers who came with him, they are innocent, they have jobs and enviable benefits, they will not sacrifice for others, and it is acceptable to quit the union if necessary.

"I need time," White said. ”

"The expellation deadline is the timetable, and the union is there to protect our interests, not to ruin our jobs," Leiris said. ”

White said: "You are a threat, and you must understand that without unions, everyone's interests are not guaranteed. ”

"We only care about our own jobs, and the unions have to understand that, and we don't want to fall victim to your fight against the big corporations," Lyris said. ”

White said: "You have a good relationship with Mark, you should ask him personally, what are MM's plans?"

"Mark," said Laerys, "is a very strong man, and I believe that the little friendship we have has long since disappeared with the strike. ”

Although Lairis said so, he eventually asked Michael, Monaghan, Simon, and others to meet Mark, but Mark only met Laries alone, and the party company was busy renovating his castle-like mansion on the shores of Lake Tahoe.

They were preparing for Christmas, and Mark and they liked to stay here in relative warmth after the winter, where the Christmas party was held, and there were two days before Christmas, and Lyris was worried that she had not yet received an invitation.

Lyris brought Martin a delicate and soft bear toy, but he didn't like it very much.

Mark and they were eating, in front of him was a nearly three-pound tomahawk steak, and only the seventh rib of the cow was worthy of the "tomahawk steak", the beef on this rib can be called golden meat, tenderness, elasticity, fat and lean ratio are all first-class, Laris was shocked by the whole half-meter-long big rib, a full 3 catties of beef grows firmly on the ribs, the surface is slightly burnt, is a beautiful golden brown color.

Side dishes are placed around the disc, watery asparagus, carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, mushrooms, a work of art full of color and flavor, such as soups, appetizers, salads, desserts, this is enough for three or four people to share, if they are all diet girls, six people are no problem, but from the perspective of Mark, this should be Mark's food alone, Giselle put a relatively small steak in front of him, and Laris was surprised by Mark's meal.

Mark took a relatively large knife and fork and said with a smile as he cut the steak, "Lady Lyris, shall we dine together?"

As the first screenwriter to be voted by Mark, she has always been known as the first sister in MM, and Mark used to call her Shonda, and she forced a smile: "I just nibbled on a hamburger." ”

Mark said: "Authentic Tomahawk steak, cooked on site at a three-Michelin star meal, the beef has no fascia, the fat is evenly fat, charcoal grilled on marble, melts its fat, induces the richest juicy taste, and locks its nutrients to achieve the most perfect effect." ”

Mark looked focused and happy, the snow-white table knife was gentle, the steak was immediately divided, revealing a soft and delicate heart, but also pink, the thickness and temperature were accurate, he said: "In order to taste the best taste, we choose the chef's recommended 3 medium rare, the satisfaction brought by the beef after the entrance is incomparable, after the teeth touch the beef, the fragrant gravy suddenly overflows the mouth, it is slightly sweet, are you sure you don't want to have a copy?"

Lyris had no choice but to say, "Ok!"

The white uniformed waiter who was standing on the side immediately went to the kitchen and brought a small steak, and Laris and Giselle liked to pair it with the red wine sauce, which was boiled thick, and poured on the steak was a complex and chic taste, rich and subtle, which the rich family was magnificent, and invited the chef to the house to enjoy a big meal at home.

Little Martin sat on Mark's lap with the bottle, and he seemed to be quite interested in Daddy's Big Mac, and from time to time he reached out and tried to touch it.

Mark cut off a piece of beef with a knife, put it in his mouth and chewed, his teeth bite strongly, the steaks cut are particularly large, and cut a small piece for little Martin, considering Martin's tooth bite, Mark cut quite thin, Mark smiled: "You always stare at my knife and fork, are you afraid that I will suddenly stab you!"
