People were worried about Los Angeles. They thought it could become like Detroit. Detroit lost its main jobs. Los Angeles makes films and TV. This is its main job. People talked about this problem. They also talked about getting more money from the state to make films and TV.

On Monday, they talked about the music and finishing part of making movies.

People talked about making movies and music. They said artists are not getting much work. One person said she only worked a little bit. She asked, "What can I say to someone who wants to work here?" Another person said he had sad talks with his family about money.

Music people talked about problems. Recording music days in L.A. are much less now. It is cheaper to make music in Austria and Slovakia.

Karen wanted a special rule for movie sounds.

Movies went to other places, but they finished in California. Now, this is not true. Work on movies like effects, sound, and music is leaving California. People go to other places for tax money. This means California lost many jobs. Not only in movies, but in other jobs that help movie people.

Leaders in the state know it's a bad time.

The ideas can help, but they are not the full answer.

People want more films and TV shows made in L.A.

But people in the industry need to talk together.

Landers said, "The world is watching California. They want to see what we do."
