A meeting took place today between the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) at the latter’s headquarters in Sherman Oaks.

The event marked the first formal in-person discussion between the two sides since the writer’s strike began on May 1st.

The L.A. Times reports that according to their sources, little progress was made with neither side budging on their stance over proposed minimums regarding writer’s room staff numbers and guaranteed contract lengths.

Both sides have also reportedly argued over streaming viewership transparency and the payment of higher residuals for successful streaming shows.

Both parties have apparently agreed to go back to their respective camps to evaluate options. The hope was the meeting today would lead to WGA and AMPTP agreeing to restart formal contract negotiations, but that hasn’t happened yet.

Also today, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has reportedly called for an “immediate resolution” of the writer’s strike and offered to “personally engage with all the stakeholders in any way possible to help get this done”.

For now, both the writer’s and actor’s strikes are continuing and impacting not just the film and TV industry but numerous other industries connected to it.

Liquor globalization: Mingjiang Baijiu attracts Western consumers through cocktail strategy and expands its influence in the United States and Europe

总部位于美国的明江白酒成立于 2018 年,与中国历史最悠久的酿酒厂之一泸州老窖合作成立,以期打造国际白酒品牌。白酒是全球生产和消费量最大的酒类,每年销量超过威士忌和伏特加的总和。中国每年消耗 80 亿升白酒。明江白酒属于川酒,由高粱粒蒸馏而成,标准酒度为 45 度。“世界上许多饮酒者喜欢烈酒,但不喝白酒。”​明江白酒联合创始人兼传播总监 Derek Sandhaus 说道。据 Sandhaus 介绍,美国和欧洲有很多白酒进口商,但他们的目标客户通常是当地的华人社区和外籍人士。“我们进入市场时,还没有其他品牌积极尝试吸引北美和欧洲主流用户。”​在中国,白酒通常在室温下直接饮用,也作为庆祝饮料搭配食物一起饮用。然而,明江白酒认为鸡尾酒是理想的切入点,可用来在西方市场培养和吸引消费者。该品牌称,白酒适宜与柑橘和汤力水搭配,与其他气味浓郁的烈酒搭配也相得益彰,例如超标朗姆酒、阿马罗酒和梅斯卡尔酒。“我们用心竭力,不仅推广我们的品牌,还将白酒作为一种酒类,向国际受众推广中国的蒸馏酒。我们希望确保受众(其中许多人以前从未喝过白酒)了解白酒、白酒的来源以及白酒在中国的消费方式。”​Sandhaus 说道。生产​明江白酒产自四川省泸州老窖,这是中国最古老的酿酒厂,成立于 1573 年。“我们十分清楚,我们想要一种适合调制鸡尾酒的产品,所以产品本身的制作方法与泸州老窖的白酒相同,只是混合物不同而已,更方便调酒师配制。”​Sandhaus 说道。生产明江白酒时,先将当地收获的红高粱谷物蒸熟,再用野生酵母发酵,然后埋在土坑中发酵约两到三个月。白酒利用蒸汽小批量蒸馏,然后在赤陶罐中陈酿长达两年,由调酒师傅平衡风味后再装瓶。Sandhaus 解释称,明江白酒的设计旨在吸引国际受众,同时向泸州老窖品牌致敬。“我们在标签上标注了白酒的定义及来源信息。中文名称以及包装设计非常重要,因为我们希望消费者能将其视为中国产品。”​瓶子也是玻璃材料,可再次密封且方便调酒师使用。Sandhaus 解释说,在中国,绝大多数的白酒都按瓶一次性喝完,因此不需要再次密封。明江白酒的大多数股权由生产该产品的泸州老窖持有,而创始人只是少数股东。明江白酒创始人来自欧洲和美国,拥有酒类行业经验。欧洲和美国业务现状​从 2018 年到 2020 年,明江白酒主要向美国的酒类商店、酒吧和一些超市销售。2020 年,明江白酒与美国大型酒类进口 Sazerac Company 达成战略合作伙伴关系,2021 年其业务范围从 5 个州扩大到 20 多个州。Sazerac 负责管理明江白酒在美国的进口和销售事宜。“得益于这一合作关系,我们去年的销售额是迄今为止最好的一年。因此我们希望今年在美国继续扩张,进军更多的州市场,同时也在现有市场中取得增长。”​Sandhaus 说道。而在欧洲,明江白酒正与进口商合作,将产品引入德国、奥地利、瑞士、丹麦、意大利、法国和英国。产品主要在酒类商店销售。明江白酒在欧洲和美国也有网上商店。“今年的主要战略不一定是开拓新市场,而是从现有市场中获得更多收益。我们采取几种方式来实现此目标,包括在春节、端午节和中秋节等中国节日期间规划销售和促销活动,以吸引更多用户。”​
