met with Walt Disney Co. CEO Bob Iger and later with a group of Hollywood filmmakers and executives on Wednesday, amid concerns over industry business practices in engaging with Beijing., was joined by nine other members, including its ranking member, Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi .
The private meeting was set up with Iger as lawmakers of both parties focus on China’s influence over American business and culture. Hollywood has been a target of members on Capitol Hill in recent years over some high-profile examples in which movies were edited, or their storylines changed, to appease Chinese censors.
Gallagher has said that he wanted Iger to testify on Capitol Hill at some point, but it is unclear whether that is still a possibility. Later on Wednesday, five members of the House committee and 17 industry representatives met at Cecconi’s in West Hollywood for an off-the-record session in which Hollywood figures shared experiences of doing business in China. The group included filmmakers, executives and producers, as well as representatives from academia and industry associations, but the names of the attendees were not disclosed to allow for a more frank discussion.
In a recent op ed, Fenton wrote that the industry, at the center of culture and commerce, should work with lawmakers so “our community can help keep those two vital bars of connection while helping to design policies and regulations we can live with as an industry.
