Chapter 293: Video Website
"Mr. Su, although the Shenxiu video website has been completed this time, it is still a bit troublesome when it comes to the film and television library."
When it comes to trouble, Zhao Bailu was also a little helpless. Once the video website is built, there must be content. In addition to doing the research and development of video websites, she is busy purchasing copyrights.
It’s okay to say that domestic TV series and movie copyrights are related to some extent. After all, it’s a bit related to Japan and South Korea. Several influential companies in their country have a lot of relationship with Shenxiu Technology. Helping to help solve the problem. The key is that Shenxiu Technology has suffered a great loss in copyright in Europe and the United States.
Originally, online videos were still in a huge controversy. After all, online videos had appeared very early. However, like online music, they were basically pirated at the beginning. Even later, there were still a large number of pirated online video websites, and there were also various banned movies on these pirated websites.
Among them, the most unpopular reason for online video websites is that many movies that have not yet been offline, because the emergence of pirated websites has caused their revenue to drop significantly.
In fact, in Su Yan's opinion, the reason why online video websites are full of controversy is because they touch the cakes of those film and television giants. Just like the current major Hollywood giants can be said to have the greatest impact on online piracy. Basically, they just need to wait for a lawyer's letter when they find it, because this threatens the survival of these giants. If online piracy is rampant, the first one to suffer will be theaters.
In addition, the DVD business is another huge revenue of Hollywood, that is, after the movie is offline, DVDs will be released. After all, not everyone has time to go to the cinema to watch movies, and if you want to watch it, there will be no cinemas. DVDs have become the choice of many people. Relying on the DVD business, a loss-making movie can recover the cost and make a small profit. This shows the importance of the DVD business to Hollywood!
In addition to major film companies, TV stations also hate online piracy because online piracy also infringes on their interests.
And the most important point is that the last time my friend’s music incident reminded them that although I don’t know what Shenxiu Technology is going to do this time, I just need to stay there. Whether it is negotiating with Shenxiu Technology or imitating the business launched by Shenxiu Technology, they are all taking the initiative.
When Su Yan heard Zhao Bailu's words, he knew which Hollywood and other major manufacturers were probably planning to wait for a price. After all, if he wanted to improve the film library, he would have to obtain the copyright in their hands.
As for saying that Shenxiu Video will threaten Hollywood and the global film and television industry, it is a complete joke. If a casual video website could threaten Hollywood's status, then Hollywood and several major film companies would have gone bankrupt long ago.
"What is the specific progress in the film library at present?"
Su Yan asked Zhao Bailu that Zhao Bailu was usually responsible for communicating with the people below.
Obviously, no matter when for online video websites, the resources of the film library are the most important. If you do not have the copyright of a large number of videos, then no matter how well your website is built, it will not attract users. After all, the most important thing about a video website is content.
Zhao Bailu seemed to be prepared for Su Yan's question, and said without hesitation. "At present, we have received the copyrights of domestic TV series and movies. Wanwan and Xiangjiang should be able to negotiate this week. After all, most of the things we purchased are the films they have played and the films that are being played. There is no big conflict with those film and television companies. Japan and South Korea have basically completed the copyright acquisition. Because of their relationship with the Japanese publishing house, we have also obtained part of the copyright. What we need to do next is domestic review, which can be launched after the review is completed. However, several major Hollywood film and television companies in the United States do not seem to be satisfied with the price we offer on the copyright issue. At present, our staff in the United States are following up."
"It seems that there are smart people in Hollywood. But they probably guessed wrong this time, and our ambitions are not that great this time."
Basically, in the European, American and even the world's film and television markets, several major Hollywood film and television companies, are their back gardens. Because of their friends' music last time, the Hollywood companies instinctively thought that Shenxiu Technology was planning to compete with them for food, so they were somewhat repulsive.
"Tell the staff in the United States that we can sign an agreement with several major Hollywood film and television companies when negotiating, and the copyright we obtain from them will only be broadcast in China. Not to mention the world market, we will not even participate in the Asian market."
Su Yan said to Zhao Bailu that Su Yan was still a little confused about Shenxiu Technology's online video business. It is undoubtedly Shi Lezhi who wanted to compete with global film giants with an online video business.
What he has to do is to seize the domestic market in advance. After all, the domestic film and television market will burst out with considerable potential in the future.
And he also believes that if Shenxiu Technology really proposes that way of cooperation, several major Hollywood film and television companies should be quite willing to authorize their own film and television works to Shenxiu Video. After all, when there is no direct conflict of interest, cooperation that is beneficial to both parties is obviously more acceptable.
"Mr. Su, will several major Hollywood film companies agree? I think they are more willing to have their current DVD business than online video business, and are they willing to give us the domestic market?"
Zhao Bailu said hesitantly.
"They will agree, because they have never occupied this domestic market, and it will be no loss for them to give up this domestic market. And it is already very profitable to rely on this unoccupied market in exchange for our promise not to expand to other markets, not to mention that we have to spend a considerable amount of money on those copyrights."
In Su Yan's view, although the DVD business is an important business in Hollywood, the resistance this business has encountered in China is quite huge. After all, the domestic market is now full of piracy. It is no exaggeration to say that piracy in the domestic DVD market will undoubtedly crush the genuine ones.
"By the way, how about you contacting people from major cinema schools?"
"The talks have been almost done. By the time we recruit next spring, we can recruit a group of people and we are following up with a few young directors who have emerged recently."
Zhao Bailu answered.
"Well, in addition to purchasing copyrights from other film and television companies in the future, Shenxiu Video will also have to produce content by itself. In addition, we will ask how long it will take for the post-production of the "Sword of Fairy" crew. We will complete the website launch within March. I hope this drama can appear on our website!"
"I have contacted there before, and I have entered the later stage of special effects production. Because during the early stage of special effects production, Vita didn't know much about the traditional Chinese fairy tale culture, so it took some time in the early stage."
