Chapter 277 (1/2)
The reason for this is that Simon admitted that he had stolen other people's creative work, but the original author of the play still doesn't know where it is. However, the report of that newspaper completely violated the established fact of this time and space. With the promotion of some people, the media immediately began to pay close attention to Simon and supernatural.
Bruce Joey Robin, of course, is Simon of the media, very angry about this.
It's another guy who doesn't want to abide by the contract and even carries force.
Simon is a person who attaches great importance to contracts. Just like last year's ”vulgar novel”, Orion took back at least $100 million of net profit from more than $300 million in global box office, but he only got more than $15 million in box office share. However, since the original contract so, Simon did not regret.
There is also the movie contract owed to Disney. According to the original agreement, Simon only needs to pay millions of dollars in liquidated damages to get rid of it. Compared to the hundreds of millions of dollars in net profit of his movie, it's worth it, but Simon doesn't plan to do it either.
Although Simon sticks to the contract, danilisi's entertainment experience is repeated.
Simon didn't intend to compromise at first. Everyone's contracts were written in black and white. Many details at the beginning were also on record. Even if she went to court, danelis entertainment was not afraid.
However, under Amy's persuasion, Simon reluctantly agreed to the proposal of a private settlement in order to avoid the impact of this incident on the box office situation. Bruce Joey Robin probably knew that if his request was put on the table, it would be very difficult for her to get a favorable result. Danilisi entertainment negotiated with the other party's lawyer several times and quickly confirmed the settlement amount of $2 million.
It's just that the trees want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop.
Danielis entertainment is about to reach a settlement with Bruce Joey Robin. The American Writers Union, which is already at loggerheads with danielis entertainment, suddenly jumped out and announced that it would publicly investigate danielis Entertainment's behavior of signing illegal agreements with WGA members to harm the interests of union members.
In Hollywood, not to mention the bottom screenwriters, even the top gold medal screenwriters, often take on some private work. They spend a few weeks working as ”script doctors” for some projects. They charge a huge one-time reward. They don't participate in the signing, and they don't ask for a share. Of course, they don't need to be responsible for the commercial success or failure of the film.
There are many people who directly complete the whole play without signature. In fact, the real screenwriter of Kim Carey's famous ”a Dai and a Gua” in the original time and space is not the Ferrari brothers. The first draft of the play is written by John Hughes, the screenwriter of ”the kid is home”.
Things are always like this. If it's not true, everything will be OK. If it's true, it's trouble.
The two sides had deep resentment in last year's writers' strike, and perhaps some other forces pushed it forward. The American writers' Union was obviously very willing to compete with Denise entertainment, and forced Denise entertainment to take the initiative to cooperate with the investigation. Otherwise, Denise entertainment would be blacklisted by the Union and its members would be forbidden to continue to cooperate with Denise entertainment.
The serious consequences of last year's strike by the writers' Union of the United States are still fresh in my mind. The WGA's statement that it is necessary to carry out a ”strike” against Denise entertainment alone does not allow Simon to ignore it.
Once the worst happens, many of the projects being carried out by Denise entertainment may come to a halt without any preparation. This year's autumn TV show is coming. If some TV series can't be delivered on time due to the lack of screenwriters, it will not only have a serious impact on danielis Entertainment's TV business, but also pay a large amount of liquidated damages to the TV network.
Since it is doomed that this matter can no longer be covered up quietly, daenerys entertainment immediately gave up the plan of private reconciliation with Bruce joy Robin, cooperated with the WGA's so-called investigation, and publicized the whole story in the media.
