Assume the movie had flopped and the director lost his entire $750,000 investment. How many crew members would have voluntarily returned their fees to help offset his loss?
This is the fundamental asymmetry in risk and reward. When someone puts up their own capital and shoulders the real financial risk especially in a high-failure industry like entertainment they alone bear the downside.
Yet the moment the project succeeds, suddenly everyone who was paid upfront wants a bigger piece of the pie. The same people who would not have shared in the loss now feel entitled to share disproportionately in the upside.
If you accept payment for your work regardless of outcome, you’ve already been compensated for your risk (or lack thereof). Why should the person who risked everything not be allowed to reap the rewards when their gamble pays off?
@NewPerspectives@tigerfoos "I think queers are degenerate layabouts who neglect basic hygiene, live in filth, and contribute nothing to society"
Wow, very woke.
@White_Janissary "1930 League of Nations Investigation: Despite the laws, elite Americo-Liberian politicians and local tribal leaders continued to engage in the "pawning" of native populations and the forced shipment of laborers to Spanish cocoa plantations on Fernando Pó."
They tried this in Liberia. It turned into a bunch of Black Freemasons with names like Edwin Coleridge DeWitt having to execute multiple people for ritually murdering a local musician so they could use his flayed penis to help them win a county by-election.
@sh0tferret No. They are committed to making this satirical German illustration made in 1930 predicting what France would be like in 100 years a reality. making films is taking a back seat atm.
@DanielJHannan It used to be our best vs your best. Now it’s just a mixture of all nations representing the country they live in.
FIFA should make a rule where going forward players can only represent a nation if they have at least 5-6 generations born here.
Balkan people are nothing like latinos, people need to stop saying this. My Serbian friends have been to a few latin American countries and they were shocked at how they and their families were harassed by degenerate latinos. In Argentina, latinas kept harassing and flirting with the guys and they kept saying leave us alone we have girlfriends and they wouldn't stop harassing them until their girlfriends confronted them. One of my friends went to the Dominican Republic with her family and at a restaurant a waiter proposed her to her married mom on the spot in front of her dad. Her dad and uncle beat the living shit out of the guy. So again, Balkan people are nothing like latinos, so stop comparing them to latinos.
anyone who wants to be the guy on the right needs to understand the guy on the left is keeping your toys from becoming cheap garbage that suck to play with
