ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「The union representing more than 150,000 television and movie actors is on strike, joining screenwriters, who walked out in May, to create Hollywood’s first industrywide shutdown in 63 years. The rise of streaming and the challenges created by the pandemic have stressed the studios, many of which are facing financial challenges. But actors and writers are struggling, too, and are seeking better pay and new protections in a rapidly changing workplace. Both actors and screenwriters have demanded increased residual payments (a type of royalty) from streaming services. It used to be that if a television series was a hit, actors and writers could count on a long stream of regular residual checks. Streaming has changed the way actors and writers are paid, which they say has adversely affected them. Both groups also want aggressive guardrails around the use of artificial intelligence to preserve jobs. While on strike, actors are barred from publicizing any studio projects that they have appeared in. Their absence could hurt ticket sales at movie theaters and on the festival circuit.
