It will never appear. At the Milken Academy global conference, four film and television executives (and a TV writer) were asked about President Trump’s foreign film tariff plan, another potential foreign paid disaster to keep production in the United States. The group's consensus answer is a bit of a turn.

"Obviously, it's a big problem," Ravi Ahuja, president and CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment, started things. “In terms of production, honestly, it’s almost a problem with California. So while there is indeed a lot of production left the U.S., it’s even worse for California, and it includes our companies (including ours) working with the state government and trying to come up with different bills.”

They want to help, but there is no doubt that - economics is important.

“If the incentives were stronger in the United States and in many states, we would be shooting here,” Ahuja continued. "I think what is often forgotten in our business is that profit margins are very modest. Producers tend to position it where it works - so the more we can make the United States efficient, the better, the better."

Casey Bloys, chairman and CEO of HBO and Max Content, agreed.

"I think it's a big problem in California because talent is here, infrastructure is here," Blois said. "But when you try to plan, the problem becomes (national tax benefits), and you can't plan. You have to go into the lottery and you're not sure if your show will pay a tax break."

Bloyce's job is almost to oversee TV series, not movies. It is unclear whether Trump intends to impose 100% tariffs on all internationally produced TV shows and movies. We can't even be sure Trump will try to see his latest tariff threat - Trump's tirade is the second day that makes Hollywood stand out again, and the White House has already made a little effort.

Ironically, it was also the “uncertainty” of California’s tax science system, making it “very difficult” to shoot there, Bloys said. Atlanta, Canada and others guarantee the incentive ahead; not Cali.

"If California solves this problem, it will be a big difference," Blois said.

Mike Hopkins said it was a “complex” issue, and he agreed it was a California-specific issue. He hopes to see Governor Newsom raise tax growth in his plans this summer and continue to push the bar higher. Let's make California excellent again first.

"It's a great day, you can walk out of the office, walk onto the scene, say 'Hi' to your talent and see what's going on," Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios said.

Pearlena Igbokwe, the TV studio chair of NBC Entertainment and Peacock scripts, agreed: “That’s a dream.”

Hopkins said that to realize the dream, it is guaranteed to exist. He thinks they should be there.

“It’s not that we’re taking the money and giving it to Tom Cruise or someone,” he said, adding that the stars “collect fees wherever they go.”

"It actually really drives the economy," Hopkins said.

As for the lonely storyteller Storytelling, Strategy and Innovation: Shaping the Future of Shooting Entertainment Control board, diplomat Creator and author Deborah Cahn said just as Hopkins and Igbokwe daydreaming, she was happy to let executives fall. This didn't happen in season 1, because diplomat Shot mainly in Paris and London - not for tax benefits, but because this is where the story takes place. For season two, the show is in New York. As far as studio hosts exist, this is not California, but accessible.

“The facilities here and the talent pool here are still unparalleled,” Kahn said. “We have great experience overseas, but you still don’t have the kind of designers, crew, crafts that you can do here anywhere else. So that’s always my go-to.”

one! one! one!

"But if you need Buckingham Palace, you have to get it," she said.
