South Korea’s Directors Guild Pushes for Bargaining Rights and Backend Pay from Streamers, Studios
In an echo of the screenwriters and actors guild strikes in the U.S., the Korean guild is lobbying to revise legislation that prevents directors from receiving residual pay from hit movies and shows.
You're viewing a single thread.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say Netflix and other platforms probably picked up these shows/movies because they were cheap and wouldn’t need to pay out residuals if they became hits.
Kinda sucks they don’t get paid but honestly no one makes it out big on their first run. You use your new leverage to negotiate better the second time around, after you’re proven your worth.
A few exceptions to this, but more than likely the streaming platforms would have never picked up these shows were it not for the very beneficial terms.
