While the Trump administration weighs the president of a 100% price of a price for all films produced outside the United States, the moderator of “The View” and longtime actor, writer and producer Whoopi Goldberg could only growl on Tuesday morning.
As part of the hot subjects of the day, the ABC hosts discussed the special envoy of the actor who became Hollywood video Jon Voight published on social networks on Monday evening, in which he noted that he had met Trump to offer federal incentives for production and post-production, as well as treaties and more.
“Ok, look at it. You can’t do this, because what it is about telling you how to write the story I want to write, if it happens in Europe,” said Whoopi at the end of the clip. “You tell me that if my book comes out and want to write it, you tell me how to write it. You tell me that you will charge me for this.
As she continued to express her thoughts, Whoopi had trouble staying composed. “Could you watch,” she continued, taking a moment to growl in frustration. “Could you please lower the price of eggs before you start this?”
As she exhibited her opinion, Whoopi asked how the price would even be applied, given the functioning of cinematographic and television productions.
“When you go to another country to work, you work with people who are there,” she said. “We do not imply our people to go there, so who are you going to put this price?” Is it on production? Is it in the studio? What are you talking about? “
To this, the host Hostin Sunny rang to note that she does not think that Trump knows what he is talking about and explained how to show films on international markets really brings American money. Meanwhile, the host Alyssa Farah Griffin began to imagine what types of stories would even be possible if the productions could only shoot at the national level.
“Like” Emily in Paris “, is it going to be” Emily in Paris, Texas? She joked. “Or like” White Lotus: Mar-A-Lago Edition “. The stories will be very limited if you can only shoot here. »»
Whoopi accepted there, highlighting various films that have succeeded and could not have been made at the national level.
“‘The passion of Christ,” you could not have shot that in Texas! You know, you cannot shoot “Gladiator” without going to Rome! “She said.” That’s part of what we are doing, please stop. I understand what Jon says, I understand, but the main thing is, tax incentives. If you want a change, you have to change it in the United States. “
“You must make it available to people to shoot here in the United States, does not prevent us from passing and shooting abroad, because then you limit us,” concluded Whoopi.
“The view” is broadcast during the week at 11:00 a.m. on ABC.
