Lyris was embarrassed, "No! I'm just curious, how can you digest such a large piece of steak?"

Mark said, "Don't you call me a vampire? As a special species, I have a very strong digestive ability. ”

Lyris was even more embarrassed and said, "It's some good guys in the union messing around, I didn't get involved, I just went to Universal Studios and shouted a few slogans." ”

Giselle said: "Shonda, there is no good result of following these people, mm can do without "Grey's Anatomy", but have you considered your loss?"

Lyris said angrily: "I was forced, I lost at least three million, after all, I am a member of the union. ”

Mark said: "I am also a member of MM, I am under me in the screenwriting department, I regard you as my right and left hand, but in exchange for betrayal." ”

Ryris put down his knife and fork and sighed, "Do you think I look like I've got my brain in water?I haven't betrayed you, I haven't said a bad word about you, I'm nothing without Grey's Anatomy, I understand that, sir, but it's a union decision, and no matter how big you are, you have to obey it." ”

Mark said, "What about your ego? Also, it's me who writes the check, not the union, and you have to take a stand, Ms. Lyris." ”

Giselle said: "Shonda, what Mark wants to ask you is, when will you go back to work?" Compared with Mark's large piece of meat and big bowl of wine, each piece he cut into his mouth, it was the amount of three or four servings of others, Giselle was more elegant and calm, cutting small pieces by piece, chewing slowly, and tasting the beef carefully, but the two of them sang and harmonized, and the cooperation was quite tacit.

Lyris said, "If I don't come back, someone will be on top soon?"

Mark said: "MM Group 30,000 employees, who have you seen me waiting for?"

Seeing that Lyris was a little embarrassed, Giselle said: "Today's steak is the Angus beef ribs that were flown in from Australia this morning, the ratio of fat and meat is just right, the steak is slowly grilled for about ten minutes with charcoal fire until the surface is golden, put it in the oven, and finally with the beef bone juice that has been boiled in the restaurant for 48 hours, it is served domineeringly, the steak meat is fragrant and fragrant, the meat is delicious and tender, the juice is rich, and the thin is oily, you should not miss it." ”

Tomahawk steak is a metaphor, the "axe handle" is the rib of the cow, and the "axe" is the ribeye of the cow. To put it bluntly, it is bone-in ox eye meat, tomahawk steak has quite strict standards for the age of the cow, the feed used and the size of the steak, usually about 6 months old calves are fed for 70 days after quitting milk and then slaughtered, and the rib part is cut out of a bone about 30 cm long and a meat bone weighing about 1 kilogram, because it is shaped like an axe, it is called a tomahawk steak, a cow can only cut out ten parts of tomahawk steak at most, and the tail rib can not be cut into an axe shape because it is too short and the meat is not thick enough.

Tomahawk steak is domineering, no more than 1kg is embarrassed to say that it is tomahawk steak, and Mark's portion, directly more than 2kg, but between their conversations, there is no half, Mark said: "Very good steak, but to gnaw it, you must have a good appetite and digestion, if you can't eat it, it will be wasted." ”

"Okay!" said Lyris, "I'll go back to work after the New Year, and everyone else will go back, hoping that the seat is still there." ”

Mark said, "As long as it's a heart, I'll always have a place for you by my side, Shonda." ”

Lyries was finally relieved and said, "Thank you, sir!"

Giselle said with a smile: "We agree to the conditions you put forward in principle, and the twenty-three lawsuits filed by the company can also be withdrawn, but there is no salary and benefits during the period when you are not working, and there is money if you have a job, and no one can be an exception." ”

Struck down by a huge surprise and immersed in happiness and joy, Lyris said, "All yes?"

Giselle said: "Basically, the specifics of the human resources department Duke will talk to you, the terms are limited to MM Group, we will not lobby unions or other companies. ”

Lyris rejoiced and said, "Thank you for your generosity. ”

Mark said: "I think you will pay for this price, not what you fought for, I don't want to give it, no one can get it." ”

"Yes, sir! Lyris said.

Mark always does things unexpectedly, and at the beginning, he was considered the best to talk about, but he was the toughest of the six giants, but when he won a big victory, he agreed to the conditions of the screenwriters.

Lyries is in a good mood and has a good appetite, and this steak is particularly delicious.

Mark ate while not forgetting to feed his son, but after eating a little, little Martin felt that this cool thing was far less sweet and soft than milk and cake, so he switched to milk cake and refused to eat the steak sent by his father, Mark had to bring a small silver spoon and feed him the cake, and Giselle ate while paying attention to the interaction between their father and son, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were full of gentle and happy smiles.

Ryris didn't come for the meal, after getting a perfect answer, he quickly finished eating, and then said goodbye, with them, and Simon and a few of them, but she was the only one who could enter the room, and the others waited in the café at the foot of the mountain, while most of the screenwriters stayed in Los Angeles and waited, this is a matter of jobs, no one dares to take it lightly, after waiting for Mark's reply, everyone was thunderous and applauded, this can finally rest assured that Christmas can be spent at ease, and after a few days of rest and the New Year, you can go to work.

After two months of perseverance, they got what they wanted, and it was a great victory.

There has been a leap forward in the way film and television programs are produced today, no longer using the traditional background projection synthesis method, and the animatronic animals, which started with "Jaws" and were widely used in the eighties and nineties of the 20th century, are not popular now.

At present, computer animation has been widely used, for example, in the filming of the movie "King Kong", the interaction between the heroine and the orangutan "King Kong" is actually filmed in the green background first, and then synthesized by computer, the consequence of the application of computer animation is that the component of live performance is reduced, and the component of "behind-the-scenes" work of engineering and technical personnel increases, which poses a challenge to the working mode of traditional screenwriters and actors.

Second, the distribution of film and television programs has changed dramatically, the 1999 low-budget thriller "Blair the Witch", because the producer attracted a large number of viewers through viral marketing on the Internet, the film's global gross revenue jumped to 248 million US dollars, Internet sites, blogs, online reviews and other discussions have become an important part of people's "noise" for new films, and the audience's appreciation of film entertainment is also changing.

According to a survey of more than 1,000 people in the United States last year, 53% of them are willing to change their existing cable or satellite TV to Internet broadband TV, and 88% believe that video calls will become a reality in the next five years.

Finally, the profit structure of film and television programs has also been transformed, the box office was once the main source of income for producers, but now it is no longer in the limelight, according to the consulting agency "Global Media Intelligence" statistics of several major film and television entertainment groups, in 2006, the film produced in the United States was broadcast for the first time in the world box office, plus pay TV and videotape total sales of 23.7 billion US dollars, down 4.6% from 2004, but the cost soared by 13.2% in the same period, to 25.6 billion US dollars.

In other words, making a movie is a money-losing business for producers, mainly because big stars, directors and producers take most of the "cake", such as Will Smith, Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Xiao Lizi, etc., starring in a movie, the salary is 15 million US dollars or even more than 25 million US dollars, and some famous directors also need millions of US dollars in salary, such as Mark's 25/15, for this reason, the producer must try to extend the "film production line" as much as possible In 2004, the domestic theater sales of major production companies in the United States were 9.5 billion US dollars, but the revenue from DVD sales and rentals reached 21 billion US dollars, and DVD sales have become an important way to ensure the profitability of films.

If screenwriters are not able to get a piece of the DVD and the latest Internet sales, they will surely become more and more marginalized and end up with nothing, and to get such concessions will greatly increase their income.

When Lyris and the others happily returned to the Writers Guild and reported the good news to White, there was nothing better than the best of both worlds, and they still didn't want to quit without quitting the union.

They also hope that the union will follow the precedent of "The David Show" and lift the boycott of the MM-dominated Golden Globe Awards and remove the cordon as a response to MM's big concessions.

White and other union leaders were cautious, saying that the strike was a joint decision, and they hoped that the whole union would advance and retreat together, and some even accused Lyris and others of violating procedures by negotiating peace with the giants without union representatives present.

In the end, they hope that Ryris and the others will not agree to Mark's conditions for the time being, and the common advance and retreat, MM, which has the best financial situation and the strongest among the six giants, will give in, and the other companies will not be able to bear it, and they will reach an agreement before the Oscars.

Lyris remembered Mark's strength, and the conditions he accepted when he had the upper hand were handouts rather than submissions, and a large carnivore that nibbled on 2kg of Tomahawk steak on his own would never give in easily.

Leslie and the others finally saw the faces of these people clearly, and Giselle was right, there was nothing good to do with these people.

This is also like her favorite works "Gone with the Wind" or "War and Peace", as reflected in the tide of history and collective interests, the fate of individual interests is not controlled, and some people are destined to become victims, and some people will become winners.

Lyries and others were literati who felt this even more deeply, and they decided to become winners and take control of their own destiny and interests.

At noon on Christmas Eve, 504 screenwriters including Leris announced their withdrawal from the screenwriters' union and formed a new union organization called the Beimi Screenwriters Union.

Many people in Hollywood feel that this Christmas is not easy, and Mark is also in a difficult situation after receiving a phone call.
