Chapter 117 Voodoo Doll
"So, it is another ability that is destined to eat ashes."

Shaking his head, he withdrew his attention from the [Exorcism Method] recorded in his mind.

Zhao Yuan showed a helpless expression on his face.

The items that can be exchanged each time in the evolution script are not completely produced according to the creator's wishes, and there is a certain degree of randomness in it.

Otherwise, there would not be props like [Random Evolution Land Card] that have nothing to do with the plot in the previously evolved script redemption list.

If you count carefully, in the setting of the script of "London Zombie", Zhao Yuan also arranged a lot of fighting scenes.

Whether it is the Maoshan Taoism performed by [Lin Jiuying], or the Voodoo voodoo curse used by [Nassis].

But unfortunately, none of these things appeared in the exchange list in the background.

It only gave the [Corpse Removal Method], which has no other uses except for adding some strange corpse raising skills for Zhao Yuan.

If it has not been confirmed, the system in front of me is indeed disabled to the point where I cannot take care of myself.

Zhao Yuan even wondered if it was secretly playing tricks behind this, just to get more [plot values] at the moment.

"Hopefully, the other item won't be too tricky."

The exchanged [Corpse Removal Method] was already a bit disappointing, Zhao Yuan could only silently hope that the other item [Voodoo Doll] should not be as deceptive as the [Remove Corpse Method].

With some anticipation in his heart, Zhao Yuan also exchanged another item in the background list.

With the disappearance of three thousand [story points] in the system panel, a palm-sized [voodoo doll] appeared in his hand.

Standing in Zhao Yuan's palm, a demon [voodoo doll] entwined with black wool was waving a small trident in his hand, trying to put on a fierce posture.

"It's still alive?"

Looking at the lively [Voodoo Doll] on the palm of his hand with raised eyebrows, Zhao Yuan showed a slightly surprised look on his face.

At the same time, a series of crooked words also appeared on the broken data panel of the system.

【Props - Voodoo Doll (Demon Type)】

[Effect: bad luck]

[Introduction: Deal with the person who troubles you, but if you are kind-hearted, merciful, and don't want the other party to suffer too much harm, then hand it over to the devil baby, and teach that ignorant guy a little lesson, so as to relieve the hatred in your heart, And harmless. 】

【Remarks: It's just a small voodoo doll, don't expect too much from it. 】

[Remark 2: The body of the devil baby is composed of a lot of wool and a devil's hair, which is flammable, so don't put it near the fire. 】

"So, your ability is to make people unlucky?"

After reading the introduction of the items in the system panel, Zhao Yuan lowered his head and glanced at his palm, stretched out his trident and pointed at [Voodoo Doll], which he poked carefully with his fingers, and couldn't help but ask.

"..."

Hearing the voice from above, [Voodoo Doll] quickly hid the trident in his hand behind his back.

He raised his round woolen head to reveal a pair of red button eyes, and tilted his head towards Zhao Yuan to make an innocent look.

……

Waving the trident in his hand, he charged at the milk carton in front of him.

puff-

The tiny trident left three small holes in the milk box, and white milk sprayed out along the holes, drenching the [Voodoo Doll] in front of it.

Reaching out, he picked up the playful [Voodoo Doll] on the dining table, and shook its wet body.

Then put the [Voodoo Doll] back on the dining table and watch it look like this.

Zhao Yuan said to Ron Meyer on the phone.

"So, the strike is over?"

"Yeah, it's over."

On the other end of the phone, the excitement in Ron Mayer's tone could be clearly heard.

After all, the general strike of the screenwriters union for more than [-] consecutive weeks has had a wide-ranging impact on the entire Hollywood industry.

Universal Pictures, where Ron Mayer is located, is also within the scope of the strike.

"Currently, there has been a consensus within the Film and Television Producers Union, and the Screenwriters Union has also discussed the specific terms of the provisional agreement and sent it to lawyers for review. Several important conversations between the Screenwriters Union and the Film and Television Producers Union have also reached a basic consensus. The consensus is to end this strike as soon as possible."

"Although the next interim agreement still needs to be voted by internal members of the screenwriters union, at most it will only postpone the end of the strike by a few days, and it will not affect the effect of the interim agreement."

In order to be able to end this strike, the Film and TV Producers Union made a huge concession in terms of the share of the agreement, agreeing that any program broadcast on the Internet, the responsible screenwriter can share the unified fee of up to 1200 US dollars for the first two years, In the third year, it is a certain percentage of the publisher's total revenue, which is much more reasonable than the original situation where the screenwriter did not have it.

And it was precisely because of this dramatic concession by the Film and Television Producers Union that the screenwriters union finally agreed to end this arguably the longest screenwriters' strike in Hollywood history.

After all, the Union of Film and Television Producers has been seriously injured in this kind of strike that hurts both sides.

But it's not all innocuous for members of the Writers Guild, especially with Christmas looming in December.

Many bottom-level members of the screenwriters union have actually reached their limit.

The reason why they continued to participate in the strike was not full of enthusiasm.

Purely because of the $[-] fine from the Writers Guild.

"In short, congratulations, Allen has returned to work. The schedule of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" has been confirmed. It is just in mid-January. Although it is not the most advantageous Halloween schedule for horror films, there is no strong competitor. There should be good box office revenue..."

"In addition, ABC TV has expressed the possibility of renewing the next season of "Modern Family", which means that you don't have to worry about income for at least a period of time."

Affected by the strike, the ratings of major TV stations have been quite bleak in the past few months, especially in terms of TV dramas. The suspension of a large number of popular dramas has had a huge impact on the TV station's advertising revenue.

In order to restore revenue as soon as possible and make up for the huge losses during this period, the major TV stations also rarely revealed the renewal status of many episodes in advance.

Although "Modern Family" is only a new TV series broadcast by ABC, the good ratings trend in the early stage also made the TV station express its optimism for the show.

It can be said that as long as the ratings of "Modern Family" do not fluctuate too much after the rebroadcast, the renewal of the TV series in the second quarter can be said to be sure.
