MTL - Best Actor-v3 Chapter 170 Screenwriters strike

Every year from January to the Oscars in February or March, it is the awards season in North America, and many awards will be awarded at this time. The most important ones are several Film Critics Association awards, several major union awards, and the Golden Globe Awards of the Press Association, and then the Oscars, which are the world's attention.

Oscars are always awarded at the end, and the Golden Globes are generally in late January, these two have hardly changed, and the other ones, although there are general times, but specific It depends on the situation.

However, no matter how it is adjusted, these awards will be awarded in two to three months, and guessing who will win, or who will win all the way to the Oscars, has become a big problem for people Fun, and these awards are called outposts.

For those who are aspiring to compete for the Oscars, if they can win these awards, they will increase their popularity and warm up for the Oscars, and secondly, they will have the opportunity to have better PR. After all, these Some of the award judges are also members of the Academy of Film.

It would be too bad if you voted for someone else.

What's more, the film academy is also trying to find a way to be careful not to be too similar to some awards. It happened a few years ago that the Oscar awards and the Golden Globe awards completely overlap, so Sean needs to Well-planned by your own team.

"We haven't had a large, strong PR over the past few years, which is somewhat of a disadvantage," Sanders said at the time. There are some utilitarian benefits, so let's just leave it in the sun for two years."

"What you said is indeed a problem, but it can also be seen from other angles." Frederick said calmly, "We can show a humble attitude, Namely: Sean didn't do PR before because he knew he wasn't qualified enough to do too much."

"This is possible, but it is not easy to convince them." Sanders said after thinking.

"I don't think much that Sean's four Oscar nominations have proved that he has the strength to win, especially two of them were nominated by colleagues last year, we can think of ways on this ," Frederick reinforced his tone with his gesture, "they like it, I can guarantee it, as long as we have enough flexibility."

Speaking, he looked at Sean, with obvious excitement, hoping he could make a decision.

It's no wonder that as an agent, who doesn't want their client to be an actor or actress? Moreover, after so many years, Frederick is only one step away from the partner of Endeavour. If Sean can win the award, it will be very easy to take this step. Naturally, he hopes that Sean can successfully reach the top.

"Okay, let's do it then." Sean pondered for a moment, and quickly made a decision, "Just say what you need me to do."

"In that case, you'll have to go to parties throughout January, or even most of February, Sean," Sanders reminded.

"It doesn't matter, since I have made a choice, I have to work hard to go on," Sean clenched his fists, "but you have to come up with a plan first, David's side is the fastest It won't be closed until mid-January, and I need to discuss it with him."

"Are there still many shots to be taken?" Frederick asked.

"Not a lot," Shawn shook his head, "It's just some shots from the ship, you know, according to the script, Benjamin didn't get off the ship until after World War II, and he also participated in the rescue of the ship after the naval battle. Soldiers, these are a bit of a hassle to shoot."

"Okay, I'll talk to David Fincher." Frederick nodded.

After discussing a few more details, the matter was temporarily over, and then Sean turned to Vladimir again: "Tell me about your side, Todd, what happened?"

"Don't you know yet?" Vladimir was a little surprised, and then smiled bitterly, "The writer's strike has caused us a lot of damage."

"The screenwriters are on strike?" Sean was stunned, and then he remembered, "It's too bad, what specific losses are there?"

Back in early November, the Writers Guild went on strike for the first time, leading to a shutdown of the talk show and the announcement of the season cessation of 24. However, the scale was not very large at that time, so although some programs were involved, the basic order was maintained.

However, in late November, the eve of Thanksgiving, the situation began to spread. Last year's release of "The Da Vinci's Code" sequel "Angels and Demons" announced that the filming was postponed. became the first film to be affected.

In the middle, the Screenwriters Guild said they could negotiate, but the Producers Union put on airs and said they wanted to negotiate? Start work first! This attitude naturally angered the screenwriters who had already decided to make a big deal, so the screenwriters union began to launch a larger strike.

After entering December, the Producers Union was under pressure and began to negotiate with the Screenwriters Guild again, but their attitude did not change, so the negotiation broke down on the same day.

After that, the Screenwriters Guild launched more and bigger strikes, and countless films and TVs in production were stopped, and the loss was even more incalculable. It's done, and those scenes are basically in Fincher's head, and certainly will be affected as well.

In short, during this period of time, the major Hollywood production companies were not doing well, and with "Twilight" and "Iron Man" officially standing at the top of the second-tier production company, Samsara Pictures, Certainly not too bad.

"It's basically stopped, the movies and TV series in production have stopped," Vladimir sighed, "other things are good, "Superheroes" is very bad, You know, they recruited a screenwriter team when they made it, and each major character has one or two screenwriters dedicated to outlining the characters. So unless the strike subsides quickly, and the screenwriters come back, otherwise, this I'm afraid the reputation of the series will be ruined."

"What about the others?" Sean frowned.

"It's all stopped, whether it's "Twilight: New Moon" in preparation, or "The Hangover" that has already started, no exception. "Vladimir spread his hands.

"What do you want me to do?" Sean pondered for a while, then asked, and continued without waiting for an answer: "You know, I'm best known now as an actor , and the Screen Actors Guild has announced its support for the Screenwriters Guild strike, and many actors have also issued statements in support of the strike, so it is impossible for me to stand up and call for anything, not to mention that I have to carry out low-profile public relations actions."

When I met George Clooney before Christmas, the guy reminded us that we should do what we should do. Sean didn't understand what he was talking about at that time, but after discussing it with Vladimir, he immediately reacted.

However, it is impossible for him to stand on the side of the Producers Union. Although he is actually the chairman of the last Samsara Films, his main external identity is still an actor. Unless Sean plans to stop being an actor and become a producer in the future, he will definitely stand on the actor's side, and maybe even make a public statement.

In this case, the loss of reincarnation may be even greater. Unfortunately, there is no solution to this. Recalling Clooney's posture, it is obvious that he intends to stand up to support the writers' strike, but he also has Actor of his own production company. Although his production company and Sean Reincarnation Pictures are two different things, the two cannot be compared at all, but the public doesn't think that way, so...it's no wonder that Clooney was vaguely gloating when he said that to him at the time.

"I know, I know..." Vladimir sighed with a wry smile, obviously also aware of Sean's predicament, so he didn't mention this again, but turned to other aspects, "The company Someone inside suggested that an agreement with the writers be reached as soon as possible.”

Sean frowned immediately, then stretched out and asked: "James Leslie brought it up?"

"Yes." Vladimir smiled, glad Sean understood what he meant.

James Leslie is one of the executive directors. He is very active in the company and can be seen in many things. He always hopes to play a greater role. You don't need to think about what this means, so you don't need to guess what this proposal means.

"What do you think?" Sean asked immediately.

"As long as an agreement is reached, there is no doubt that not only are we losing, the big studios are also losing, but we must not be the first to reach an agreement." Vladimir He said, "I have a hunch that this strike will probably continue for another month."

"That's it." Sean expressed his support without thinking. They have been working together for several years. This kind of trust is the most basic.

After discussing a few more things about the strike, Sean called Sanders and Frederick over and asked them to take the strike into account. After exchanging opinions, he immediately Back to the bedroom to rest.

"It's all here, I can have a vacation now... Ah!" As soon as she fell on the bed, Emma came over, and before she could finish, she was pulled into her arms by Sean.

"You just had a vacation." He said while holding her in his arms.

"Sorry, I think you probably forgot, there is another holiday called New Year!" Emma rolled her eyes and said, "Damn it, this is the first time I have encountered the separation of Christmas and New Year holidays. people."

"Because without you, I don't know what I would do." Sean hugged her and said softly, "Will you let me hold her for a while now?"

"Am I your doll?" Emma rolled her eyes again and struggled to get up.

Sean naturally wouldn't let her wish, so he pressed her back on the bed and kissed her. Emma whimpered and struggled with little strength. It wasn't until Sean's hands began to knead his waist that he suddenly opened his eyes, then pushed him away, jumped up and slipped out, of course, no. Forgot to give Sean a **** on the way out.

Haha laughing, Sean lay back at random, a look of pleasant aftertaste on his face, but as time passed, these slowly disappeared, slowly turned into gloom, and finally , he sighed heavily.
