Wow! Here they are! They gained their end! I can’t wait anymore for new episodes, seasons and TV series. I’m sure writers could be hungry and without money during these long three months, but they didn’t sit around doing nothing. Creative persons like writers, artists, singers, dancers never fritter their time away on trifles.
What can I say about this day? Right, this day will be added to history. Some time later we’ll Google and find an article related to this memorable event in the entertainment industry. What this day look like? What feelings? Feel a sense of relief, optimism, happiness and satisfaction? A long period of breathless expectation is officially over.
Who is in the lead? Majority of writers (3,492) voted for returning to work and the rest minor part (283 votes) voted against. As a result, the strike has cost the county of Los Angeles $3.2 billion in direct and indirect lost revenue.
According to Patrick Verrone (president of WGAW), “these advances now give us a foothold in the digital age. Rather than being shut out of the future of content creation and delivery, writers will lead the way as television migrates to the Internet.”
In conclusion I should say that this agreement between writers and producers made us happy. Sure thing, writers will receive compensation for streaming stuff on the web in accordance with their demands.
The agreement would let writers claim to have bettered a similar deal achieved last month between the production companies and the Directors Guild of America. In the third year of the Writers Guild deal, writers will be paid a percentage of the distributor’s revenue rather than the flat fee for Web-streamed television shows granted to the directors. The writers had insisted on this issue to ensure they not lose out on any new-media windfall the studios and networks may get from Web video. The producers yielded on this point — and the directors did not push it — arguing that Internet distribution is unlikely to become a significant business during the length of these contracts.
