In terms of contract agreements in particular, there can be a bit of a shorthand to contracts and the licensing of products, and it can go very quickly. What you're often looking at is a kind of short-form/long-form situation, where some of the critical details of a commitment will be done relatively quickly to enable a production to move forward to secure financing.
The long-form agreement may take months. In some cases, it's a year before things are seen. It's sort of the reality of contracting and the difference between people who are green-lighting and commissioning shows, and then having to deal with the legal affairs department that wants to secure every right and make sure everything is clear.
So there's just a basic reality to that, and I think that has almost always been the case. There are ways of expediting that. Things like terms of trade will ultimately help that too; some of the critical deal points in any negotiation should be fairly transparent and clear.
