The writers' strike once affected the holding of this year's Oscars, and even many people thought that the Oscars would inevitably be aborted, but it is not difficult for industry veterans like Duke to see that the strike cannot make the Oscars end. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the Producers League has been unusually tough on the Writers Guild, it will definitely have to make concessions in the end.

The academy is prepared for both, and they are also worried that the Oscars will be shut down due to the writers' strike, and if the strike continues, the academy will launch an emergency gala.

The Oscars are the face of Hollywood and the entire North American film industry, and the Academy will not let the unexpected happen.

They sent special personnel to intervene in the negotiations and urge the two sides to reach an agreement as soon as possible.

The fragile economic situation in the United States will definitely not be able to withstand the torture of a prolonged strike, and an accident in Hollywood will not only cause problems for the entertainment industry, but will even exacerbate the turmoil on Wall Street.

If any industry wants to operate normally, both labor and management must abide by the "rules of the game" of mutual recognition and fairness, and it seems natural that the entire entertainment industry should share a share of the annual output value of tens of billions of dollars to screenwriters.

However, capital is born to pursue profits, and to move the cake of commercial groups is undoubtedly to dig meat from capitalists.

The main point of disagreement between the two parties is that the producers demand that they pay part of the remuneration after recovering the cost of the film and TV show; Screenwriters, on the other hand, demand that the treatment of screenwriters in films, TV dramas and reality shows be increased, and that producers must pay screenwriters a share of DVDs up to 2 percent, and that the revenue share of on-demand programs downloaded on the Internet should also be increased from zero to 4.5 percent.

The conditions of this piece are absolutely unacceptable to the production company and the producer alliance.

Ten days before the Oscars, with the joint efforts of all parties, the Producers Union and the Screenwriters Guild finally reached a preliminary agreement, with Hollywood's major production companies making certain concessions, and the Writers Guild and the Producers Union signing a temporary three-year contract.

The contract not only increases the basic salary package of the screenwriter, but also earns the screenwriter 0.6% of the DVD and 2.3% of the revenue share of the online VOD, which does not only include the work from now on. It is also possible to extract a certain percentage from previous works.

Subsequently, the Writers Guild held a membership vote and unanimously agreed to stop this protracted strike tug-of-war with an overwhelming 3,775 votes in favor.

The Screenwriters Guild also sent an email to each member. Call on everyone to return to work immediately.

"The strike is over, and tomorrow, the writers will be in their places and everything will be back to normal."

Patrick, president of the Screenwriters Guild? Speaking at a press conference, Veron said, "The strike is not what we expect, we are just trying to get a reasonable commission from the income of new media dramas." Right now. What we have achieved is already enough to enable us to gain a foothold in this digital age. ”

The producers paid a certain benefit, and although the Screenwriters Guild did not meet the initial demand, the result of the negotiation was already satisfied by most people.

"It's the best we've gotten in 30 years." Many screenwriters said so in interviews.

While the writers got their share of the DVD and online revenues, the phrase "best treatment" was more of a breath of relief after a tug-of-war.

This temporary three-year contract is at best a psychological floor price, and the strong position of the Producers League is unlikely to change with the strike.

Predictably, strikes will become a model for Hollywood, with strikes in 1988 and 2008 at least superficially winning some of the benefits that weaker screenwriters need.

Perhaps, the next Hollywood-style strike is not far off.

Labor conflicts can never be completely resolved.

With the end of the writers' strike, the 80th Academy Awards was also successfully held.

"It's raining......"

Get out of the car, Scarlett? Johnson lifted the corner of the dark evening gown. Carefully holding Duke on the wet ground, "It's really annoying." ”

Los Angeles is dry and rainless, and no one thought that it would really rain on the day of the Oscars.

Fortunately, the organizing committee is well prepared enough to put up a white canopy to protect the stars walking the red carpet, and for Hollywood, which has just experienced a screenwriters' strike, this wind and rain is really nothing.

Under the guidance of the staff, Duke walked into the large tent set up in the waiting area. Ledger, all the members of the Dark Knight crew who attended the awards ceremony wore dark gowns.

Duke's side. Nexuscarlett? Johnson wore a black evening dress.

Although it was a little late and there were already many people walking on the red carpet in front of them, there were still many people waiting in the tent, and Duke greeted some of them. Then he walked up to an acquaintance.

"Ready for your acceptance speech?"

The person he asked was Leonardo? DiCaprio, Leonardo shrugged, "I think my chances of winning the award are smaller than if you won the best director." ”

Both of them laughed, after all, they are not new to this circle, can they win awards. There is still a relatively clear judgment.

And Leonardo was nominated for "The Departed", a film that is recognized as a popular award for Best Director and Best Picture, just like Heath? Like Ledger, countless fans and media believe that it's time for the Academy to give Martin? Scorsese was sure.

Also, Leonardo's main rival is Daniel? Wear? Lewis, he's the darling of the college.

After chatting with Leonardo, Duke's eyes were on the front as the Oscar red carpet was playing out the must-have competition every year.

The bleachers and streets around the Kodak Theatre were packed with thousands of fans, and the first stars to step on the red carpet included the first to walk on the red carpet with "Michael? Clayton, who was nominated for this year's Academy Award for Best Actor, George? Clooney, and the new star James? Bond's actor Daniel? Craig and his girlfriend Rachel? Vichy.

Renee? Zellweger wore a backless evening gown, which caused fans to scream as soon as he appeared; Kate? Blanchett wore a large and dazzling necklace and walked slowly down the red carpet; Harrison? Ford, Penelope? Cruz and Hillary? Swank and other stars have also stepped on the red carpet and entered the Kodak Theater.

At all the large-scale award ceremonies, the male stars are all black and old-fashioned, with nothing new and interesting.

The heavy responsibility of attracting attention on the red carpet naturally falls on the shoulders of female stars, Hollywood is star-studded today, and a group of female stars who are brave in dressing up sparing no effort to show off their sexiness and nobility, and selling sexiness is no longer limited to low-cut and backless, slanted shoulders, slits, see-through and even retro ...... The tricks are endless.

Like male stars, black has always been the insurance choice for female stars at the awards ceremony, and the calm temperament exuded by black can be interpreted as mysterious, sexy, or noble, and rarely make mistakes.

But at this year's Oscars, the female stars seemed to have agreed, and there were many people who moved to the red camp, and all of them chose bright red. Adams, last actress Helen? Mirren and the retro beauty Catherine? Haigel, whether it is a veteran acting school or a youth idol, has a soft spot for bright red, bringing fiery enthusiasm to the always noble and classic Oscars.

Just look at how often the lights flicker to see how strong their heat is.

"Mr. and Mrs. Ledger are here."

Hearing Scarlett's reminder, Duke withdrew his gaze and turned in the direction of the entrance. After the Ledgers, they tidied up their dresses a little and took Scarlett? Johnson greeted him.

Although there is no saying that the dead are greater in this kingdom, Duke also has to show his gratitude to Hiss on this occasion. Ledger's loved ones are valued.

"Hi, Kim."

After walking over, Duke and Kim? Mr. and Mrs. Ledger hugged each other, and then said a few more polite words.

He didn't say much, and soon a staff member came to inform him, and Scarlett? Johnson walked the Oscar red carpet, and although he signed several fans with "The Dark Knight" and "Transformers," Duke passed the red carpet as quickly as ever.

Entering the Kodak Theater, he and Scarlett walked directly to the front row, as the crew of the nine nominations, the "Dark Knight" crew sat high enough, in addition, in order to promote the film, Warner Bros. also worked for Andrew? Garfield and Amber? Hilde has sought the award for Best Animated Feature.

Duke was also one of the presenters, and he did not refuse the college's invitation, because what the other party wanted him to present was Best Supporting Actor!

This breaks the convention of invitations that almost mean Hiss? Ledger is bound to get this little golden man.

In some ways, this Oscars lacked enough suspense, like the previous one Duke attended, which won Best Director.

Best Supporting Actor, Best Actor, Best Director and Best Picture, before the awards ceremony, there are super hot candidates, and the academy should not make an upset choice.

After all, Hiss? Ledger, Daniel? Day, Lewis and Martin? Scorsese's advantage is too obvious.

The lights lit up on stage, and after a brief prefix tidbit, Jon Brown, the host of The Daily Show? Stewart walked onto the stage, opening with the topic of the just-concluded Hollywood screenwriters' strike.

He said in a mocking tone, "The past two months have been very difficult, and the bitter writers' strike has torn Hollywood apart, and I am glad that this fight is over." ”

The Oscars officially ushered in their 80th birthday, and the 80th Academy Awards kicked off. (To be continued.) )
