　　Hollywood actors reached a deal to end their four-month strike this week. But it could take some time before you will see your favorite actors on television and in movies again.

　　The deal permits many actors, writers and technicians to get back to work. And movies and television programs, such as Deadpool, Abbott Elementary, and The Last of Us, are one step closer to returning.

　　The writers and technicians approved their contract in September after a four-month strike. The actors still have to vote on the deal that their labor union leaders made on Wednesday.

　　The full terms are not yet available, but leaders say the new deal includes pay increases of more than $1 billion. It also covers concerns such as pay for streaming video and protections for the use of artificial intelligence in creating video and audio.

　　The group that represents producers of television and movies said the agreement "represents a new paradigm."

　　The head of the actor's group is Duncan Crabtree-Ireland. He said the agreement is one "our members can be proud of."

　　Here are some questions and answers:

　　What programs will start filming first?

　　The strike put an immediate stop to the filming of Deadpool 3 with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. That movie and a new Gladiator will likely get back to production first.

　　In television, shows such as Abbott Elementary, The White Lotus and Yellowjackets should start filming again. Writers for those programs started working when their strike ended earlier this year.

　　However, some films and television programs recently announced delays. They include Yellowstone with Kevin Costner and the next Mission Impossible movie.

　　What other changes are coming?

　　Actors who were on strike did not sit for interviews or talk about their movies and television shows. As a result, some movies did not get a lot of marketing.

　　One of the actors in the new movie Killers of the Flower Moon is Lily Gladstone. She will now be able to talk about her big role in the movie which also includes Leonardo DiCaprio.

　　What about the big awards shows?

　　The Academy Awards, better known as the Oscars, will be back on as usual in 2024. The awards shows will run from mid-January through early March.

　　Are there any more strikes ahead?

　　Some strikes could come in the future. Actors who work on video games have approved a strike if negotiations do not work out.

　　Many actors give their voices and images to video game companies. They are concerned that their voices and faces could be used without their permission in the future.

　　Another strike could include the people who work behind the scenes in television and movies. Those workers do things such as plan the lighting and create the sets. Their union said its workers have missed out on a lot of money as film and television projects shut down in 2023.

　　In addition, people who appear on reality television programs such as The Bachelor or The Real Housewives have started talking about forming a union. The people who appear on those programs do not have a labor group and many have talked about difficult working conditions and long days.

　　好莱坞演员本周达成协议，结束为期四个月的罢工。但是你可能需要一段时间才能在电视和电影中再次看到你最喜欢的演员。

　　该协议允许许多演员、作家和技术人员重返工作岗位。还有电影和电视节目，比如《死侍》, 艾伯特小学，和我们最后一个人，离回归又近了一步。

　　经过四个月的罢工，编剧和技术人员于9月批准了他们的合同。演员们仍然要投票决定他们的劳动联盟周三领导发了。

　　完整的条款还没有出台，但是领导人说新协议包括超过10亿美元的加薪。它还涵盖了一些问题，如为流媒体视频付费，以及保护人工智能在视频和音频创作中的使用。

　　代表电视和电影制作人的团体称该协议“代表了一个新的范例."

　　演员团的团长是邓肯·克拉布特里-爱尔兰。他说这个协议是“我们的成员可以引以为豪的”

　　以下是一些问题和答案:

　　有哪些节目会先开拍？

　　罢工立即停止了电影的拍摄死侍3瑞安·雷诺兹和休·杰克曼。那部电影和一部新的角斗士可能会首先恢复生产。

　　在电视中，诸如雅培小学, 白莲花和黄色夹克应该重新开始拍摄。这些节目的编剧在今年早些时候罢工结束后开始工作。

　　然而，一些电影和电视节目最近宣布推迟。它们包括黄石公园与凯文·科斯特纳和下一个不可能的任务电影。

　　还有哪些变化即将到来？

　　罢工的演员没有参加罢工面谈或者谈论他们的电影和电视节目。因此，一些电影没有得到大量的营销。

　　这部新电影的演员之一花月杀手是莉莉·格莱斯顿。她现在可以谈论她的大作用这部电影中还包括莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥。

　　大型颁奖晚会呢？

　　奥斯卡奖，更广为人知的名字是奥斯卡，将在2024年照常举行。颁奖典礼将从一月中旬持续到三月初。

　　前面还有罢工吗？

　　未来可能会有一些罢工。如果谈判没有结果，从事电子游戏的演员已经批准罢工。

　　许多演员将他们的声音和图像交给电子游戏公司。他们担心自己的声音和面孔将来可能会在未经他们允许的情况下被使用。

　　另一次罢工可能包括工作的人在后面 景色在电视和电影中。这些工人做的事情包括规划灯光和搭建布景。他们的工会表示，随着电影和电视项目在2023年关闭，其工人已经错过了很多钱。

　　此外，出现在电视真人秀节目中的人《单身汉》或者这 真正的家庭主妇已经开始讨论成立工会。出现在这些节目中的人没有劳工组织，许多人都谈到了艰苦的工作条件和漫长的工作时间。
