Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 920 Saying and
Laila has no experience in this kind of thing, and she doesn't want to make things worse because of what she did wrong, so at this time, she needs to ask her grandfather, Master Oswald, how to deal with it .

After listening to her narration on the phone, the old man was silent for more than ten seconds before he spoke: "I don't know much about those things in Hollywood, but I know one thing very well, that is, the words of rich people are the most effective. What are they arguing about? Isn’t it just a matter of treatment? Problems that can be solved with money are not considered problems.” He said something that is also very resounding in later generations.

Lila could understand what he said, but she still didn't know what effect she could have on the situation she encountered: "Could it be that I want to spend money to help screenwriters improve their salary?"

The old man rolled his eyes: "Who do you think you are? How many screenwriters are there in Hollywood, can you help them?"

Lyra smiled dryly.She also felt that it was impossible to say this kind of thing from the old man's mouth, but if she didn't do that, what else could she use money to help the screenwriters?
"Let me ask you, have any screenwriters under your banner participated in the strike?"

"Yes. They are all members of the screenwriters' union, so they have to participate. But they said they were just going to join in the fun, and they had completed a lot of work before the strike, which would not affect the operation of the company."

Laila also knows how important it is to join a union in Hollywood. Whether it is the actors union, directors union or screenwriters union, these organizations are very good at safeguarding the interests of their members.

Take this strike as an example. If it wasn't for the screenwriters' union to unite, if only three or two kittens stood up and demanded better treatment, how many people would take care of them?

The old man nodded and said: "You did a good job on this. Don't be stingy when you should give it. Aren't we willing to give a piece to those who work for us when we earn 100 yuan? It's a pity that many people can't see this. I want to keep more money in my pocket, but forget that talent is the most important thing in many cases.”

Of course, Laila understands this very well. If the two companies give [-] to [-] to [-], even if there is only such a small difference, some staff who are short of money may leave.

There is an essential difference between unskilled workers and skilled workers, and the difference in working ability and profits may be several times.It is a pity and a waste to let the people you cultivate go to others for a little money.

Laila started from the bottom in her previous life, and she has seen too many people who care about a few dollars in order to make a living.And she is not a stingy person, but sometimes she feels guilty because she holds so much money in her hand.From time to time, it is really common for her to give some benefits to people in the company, such as salary increases.

With the way she makes money, the profits of a movie can make her pay for a long time.Therefore, whether it is a low-level staff, a high-level staff, or a film-related staff, the salary and benefits she gives are the best in Hollywood.

So despite the fact that the screenwriters in Laila's company are all young people, they are paid better than some veteran screenwriters.It can be said that people in many places in Hollywood are very envious of the treatment of Dragon Soul and Phoenix, and even this time some people used her company's treatment as a basis for negotiation during the strike.

It's the same filming, the same work, why do we get such a small salary, we are exhausted and can't even support our family, when a newcomer who has not yet emerged can live a comfortable life?
There is a saying in the East, that is, don't worry about the few and the unevenness.It means that we are not afraid of too little distribution, but of uneven and unfair distribution.

Originally, the status of screenwriters in Hollywood was relatively bleak, and only a few of them really made it out. Most of them barely survived on food and clothing, and some even had to find part-time jobs to write while working.Hence the strike action.

Who wouldn't want to get paid more?If you don't break out in silence, you will perish in silence.This time the screenwriters, especially those screenwriters who had a bad life, finally gathered together.They came together to complain about their exploitation and the gross discrepancy between labor and pay.

But not everyone is complaining, and the writers under Leila are quieter.When someone asked about them, they spoke of their treatment with a kind of "deeply hidden pride".

Now everyone was stunned.In terms of qualifications, these few screenwriter boys are inferior to most people. They need qualifications but no qualifications, and experience but no experience, but the money they get is a figure that no one else can think of.It's fair to say that if they could get that number too, they wouldn't want to strike at all.

Under such circumstances, Leila's company became a spotlight in the darkness, attracting all eyes at once.

With such a comparison, the screenwriters are also more determined to fight for remuneration in line with their work during this strike.

And when the other party in the negotiation knew about this, he immediately remembered Leila in his heart.Are you saying that you are biting your hand because of money?Just a small screenwriter gave so much money, causing other greedy people to go on strike and insist on more treatment.

But Laila didn't just throw money away and play with it. She felt that the scripts written by those screenwriters were very suitable for her and could bring her profits to the company, so why not give them a price that was in line with labor?The problem is that her views are not shared by others.

In fact, the Producers Alliance has also discussed these days, and they are indeed planning to give some benefits.But the standards given by the Screenwriters Guild refer to Leila Company, which makes those people very worried.

Are they comparable to Leila?Not to mention other things, just talking about the ability to absorb money is not a dimension!
The old man's meaning is very simple, since she has already become a young bird, she should just stand out.With her power in Hollywood, no one will refute her face too much, and she can also act as a buffer to improve the deadlocked situation.

So under the guidance of the old man, Laila met with the representatives of both sides and expressed to them their wish for a reconciliation between the two sides.I don't know if her words are so sincere that people are moved immediately, or there is just a gap between the two sides. In short, after her hard work, er, it should be a reconciliation, and finally the two sides that have collapsed are reunited. together.

In fact, the two sides have long since no longer wanted to continue.There are more poor people in the Screenwriters Association, and the three-month strike is likely to squeeze out their last penny of savings, and those who don't have many screenwriting jobs, or those who have a job that cannot be replaced, hope for such a day Go there early.They hope to get more benefits, not to lose their jobs!
