跟进:Variety披露Dan Lin被解职内情:与《纳尼亚》导演的分歧并非直接原因

GSM 10月19日报道了 Netflix 电影部门负责人 Dan Lin 离职的消息。据 Variety 最新披露,Netflix 联合首席执行官 Ted Sarandos 上周五亲自致电 Lin 通知其被解职;多名消息人士称,在首席内容官 Bela Bajaria 出局的消息传出后,Lin 的离开在公司内部看来只是时间问题。
这轮人事地震始于10月14日:Netflix 裁员约1,000人、约占员工总数的6%,Lin 的副手、电影部门副总裁 Doug Belgrad 也在被裁之列;Bajaria 随后离任,前迪士尼与福克斯高管 Peter Rice 将于10月26日接任首席内容官,Lin 的继任者将由 Rice 挑选。
关于解职原因,Variety 引述消息人士称,核心在于 Lin 未能在流媒体影片与影院发行试验之间找到平衡;他与 Netflix 的合约为期五年,任期刚过半。报道同时澄清了外界盛传的《纳尼亚》冲突:今年早些时候的一次视频会议上,Lin 对导演 Greta Gerwig 的态度被指轻慢,当时正在推进的《纳尼亚:魔法师的外甥》据报预算约2.5亿美元,Gerwig 的经纪人 Bryan Lourd 曾直接联系 Sarandos,制片人 Amy Pascal 也曾居中调解。但 Variety 称,这次冲突并非 Lin 被解职的直接原因;冲突之后,Belgrad 一度接手负责该片与 Netflix 的对接,直至上周被裁。
据 Variety 报道,被解职后的周末,Lin 仍出席了周六的学院庆典(Academy Gala),以及周日一场支持《La Bola Negra》剧组的品鉴放映。一位 Netflix 高层内部人士把这一周的人事变动总结为:「所有人都是附带损害。」Netflix 未就 Lin 被解职的原因发布详细说明。
Follow-Up: Variety Reports Why Netflix Fired Dan Lin: 'Narnia' Clash With Greta Gerwig Was Not the Direct Cause
GSM reported on October 19 that Dan Lin, Netflix's head of film, was leaving the company. According to Variety's latest reporting, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos personally called Lin last Friday to tell him he had been dismissed; several sources said that once chief content officer Bela Bajaria was out, Lin's departure was seen inside the company as only a matter of time.
The upheaval began on October 14, when Netflix laid off about 1,000 employees, roughly 6 percent of its workforce; Lin's deputy, film vice president Doug Belgrad, was among those cut. Bajaria then departed, and former Disney and Fox executive Peter Rice will take over as chief content officer on October 26. Lin's successor will be chosen by Rice.
As for why Lin was fired, Variety's sources say the core issue was that he could not find the balance between streaming titles and theatrical release experiments; he was halfway through a five-year deal. Variety also addressed the widely rumored "Narnia" clash: on a video call earlier this year, Lin came across as dismissive toward director Greta Gerwig, whose "Narnia: The Magician's Nephew" carries a reported budget of about $250 million. Gerwig's agent, Bryan Lourd, reached out directly to Sarandos, and producer Amy Pascal tried to mend the relationship. But Variety reports the clash was not directly what led to Lin's firing; after it, Belgrad stepped in as the primary Netflix executive overseeing the film, until he was laid off last week.
Variety reported that Lin kept working through the weekend after his dismissal, attending Saturday's Academy Gala and a Sunday tastemaker screening in support of the filmmakers of "La Bola Negra." One senior Netflix insider summed up the week's upheaval as: "Everyone is collateral damage." Netflix has not issued a detailed explanation for Lin's dismissal.
