There's no business like show business — but in Los Angeles, it feels like there's no business at all.
娱乐业无可匹敌——但在洛杉矶，却感觉根本无业可就。
If that sounds melodramatic, consider this: The Art Directors Guild, a labor union representing about 3,000 film workers, has suspended a training program and issued a statement explaining that “we cannot in good conscience encourage you to pursue our profession.” This is a reaction to Hollywood's decline, which is reaching a critical point for the industry and Southern California.
如果这听起来有些夸张，请看：艺术指导工会，一个代表约3000名电影工作者的工会，已暂停了一个培训项目，并发布声明解释道‘我们无法凭良心鼓励你们从事我们的职业。’这是对好莱坞衰退的反应，这种衰退对行业和南加州正达到临界点。
Production has been slipping away from Hollywood since the 1950s, but the effects have never been more apparent than at present. Other regions in the United States, Canada and Europe have steadily increased incentives to attract TV shows and movies, leaving California in the dust. Georgia offers up to 30% in transferable tax credits on film and TV production costs, plus an additional 10% increase on the base tax credit if the project includes a Georgia promotional logo.
自20世纪50年代以来，制作一直从好莱坞流失，但其影响从未像现在这样明显。美国其他地区、加拿大和欧洲稳步增加激励措施以吸引电视节目和电影，让加州望尘莫及。乔治亚州提供高达30%的可转让税收抵免，用于电影和电视制作成本，如果项目包含乔治亚州宣传标识，则基础税收抵免额外增加10%。
Even as California lost a huge volume of production to other locations, there was still plenty of film production taking place in Los Angeles before this year. We were kept afloat by “peak TV”, the glut of content that was required by the explosion of streaming services.
尽管加州失去了大量制作到其他地点，但在今年之前，洛杉矶仍有大量电影制作进行。我们被‘峰值电视’所维持，这是流媒体服务激增所要求的内容过剩。
If productions in Southern California dip below a critical level for too long, the industry's essential talent will drift away along with enormous sums of revenue. Persuading studios to film here would become much more challenging if we couldn't after a deep bench of local film workers, on-screen talent and local businesses that support the entertainment industry.
如果南加州的制作长时间低于临界水平，行业的重要人才将随之流失，巨额收入也将流失。如果我们无法依赖本地电影工作者、荧幕人才和支撑娱乐业的本地企业这样的深厚底蕴，说服工作室在此拍摄将变得更具挑战性。
That's why the California Film Commission and its Los Angeles counterpart, Film LA, now should act now, before it's too late. These agencies and other government bodies should dramatically improve incentives to keep our current shows and attract new productions to Los Angeles. Let's go on with the show … and make sure the show doesn't go on without us.
这就是为什么加利福尼亚电影委员会及其洛杉矶对应机构洛杉矶电影局，现在应该立即行动，以免为时过晚。这些机构和其他政府机构应大幅改善激励措施，以保留我们现有的节目并吸引新制作到洛杉矶。让我们继续表演……并确保表演不会在没有我们的情况下继续。
