I am beginning to believe that the very layout of "corporate structure" is why all Americans, even the corporate structures going to war with #SAG-AFTRA #WGA is the "actual problem" that needs to be glaringly corrected... permanently. Say this strike fails to persuade 'current studios' to make amends, and pay "actual talent" versus "talentless corporate executives" --- okay, fine... avenue for the 'actual' talent: START OVER! (What the hell does that mean?)
It means exactly what it sounds like: Start Over... the WGA and SAG-AFTRA take your future ip content and your talents, and form a new conglomerate... and this new conglomerate creates a true "permanent" worker protected "fair share" studio system which protect the "talents'" ip as their ip -- and not "corporate ip" bs we see now. And if the #DGA wishes to join, well, they got a hard decision to make.
What about other less overbearing smaller studios with unique ip who wanna do business in this new chapter leaving the big studios in the cold? Simple: any participating studio must follow the new proper pay standard by new hybrid model and THEY sign a contract to produce movies THROUGH the talent conglomerate --- NOT through the corprations. "Reverse the role" on what is obviously a dead corporate model that has no interest in doing whats right.
Saddest Result: What about all the content thus far under current corporate ownership? That's the rub: RIP old Hollywood -- start over means... Start Over. Sometimes you have to chart a new course in history -- that means letting your past works go (yeah, i know, ouch) Down the road, when old Hollywood eventually but slowly bleeds to death... the new "talent share conglomerate" will re-acquire those old works, and eventually transfer the ip fiscal rights appropriately into correct shares to where it should have always been... directly and with protections to the ACTUAL ARTISTS (that will take a few decades though)
Its new... its scary... and it is completely warranted based on what is transpiring. Never underestimate artist creativity, especially in capacity to pivot, adapt, and reinvent themselves to reshape the world, including current outdated corporate models no longer welcome in the new era. This new hybrid effort is the next logical step in advancing "collective bargaining" to "collective fair share" designed for 'the talent' and their families to prosper for generations.
"That just not reasonable Chris!" And the current structure of unequal pay is?! Yeah, i thought so... put your heads together, come up with a "proposal model with proposed start date (that's key)", walk into current negotiations, slide this 'time-bomb' across that table, and put the pressure on them to listen and follow your demands -- like a huge nuclear-like deterrence that you will mobilize should your demands not be met by said date. (Fly on the wall in that meeting): Corporations: "Oh... you think you can do better?" Your Response: "Don't tempt us -- they know 'our' faces and names out there -- they don't know yours -- make this easy on yourself" (Need to act fast... scabs are at the doorstep)
Sometimes you have to light torches in your own village... to humble a city.
