1 year agoSo all the OEMs in China signed a pledge to maintain ‘normal’ pricing. They’re openly colluding to fix car prices when they were dropping quickly as a result of supply and demand renormalizing.
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.
