Creators are naturally bound to anti-piracy, but whether they will be held accountable depends on the specific circumstances. In some cases, piracy is not held accountable, and is even intentionally tolerated.
Regarding copyright, whichever method can bring greater benefits will be chosen.
Among the guests who came today, the main ones were Huayi, Bona, Hairun, Jin Yingma, etc., and the rest were just making up the numbers to build momentum.
Units such as China Film, Shanghai Film, and Beijing Television Art Center were unable to participate due to their status, but they also gave verbal support. This is the current situation of the industry-piracy has become so rampant that it is recognized that it needs to be controlled.
The meeting was held at Yingshi Building, and Yao Yuan naturally attended. Everyone knew that he would be the leader!
If it were a simple film and television company, they would definitely be dissatisfied, but 99 Group is a giant in the entertainment industry and has great weight.
Yao Yuan sat down and did not speak. Jiajia presided over the meeting.
"Domestic video websites started in 2005 and developed rapidly in 2006. Now there are more than 400 large and small websites including various video software.
Copyright has always been a big problem, and I believe you have all suffered. Now that the film and television industry is booming, I think it is a good time to control piracy.
You don’t want the film to be posted on the Internet the day after it was released, right? You don’t want the TV series that you worked so hard to film to be uploaded to the website in the blink of an eye, right?”
Yu Jiajia knocked on the table and said: "Let me make a long story short, everyone here plus several companies in Hong Kong, there are 83 companies in total. I hope these 83 companies can form an anti-piracy alliance to fight against Youku, Tudou, 56, Ku6
, Liujianfang, PPS, PPTV, etc., more than 400 video websites and software, large and small, filed lawsuits claiming genuine rights and interests!"
"..."
Everyone whispered for a while, and someone asked: "Mr. Yu really wants to file a lawsuit?"
"certainly!"
"According to my experience, there is no use in filing a lawsuit. Our company has sued us, and even if we win, we won't get much compensation. The other party only fined us three drinks.
Now they are more sophisticated and let their editors pretend to be netizens to upload pirated videos. If they are caught, it will be said to be the netizen's personal behavior, and the platform will at most be accused of lax censorship, which is very difficult to deal with."
"One or two prosecutions won't have much effect, so we have to fight together. What we need is momentum and influence to promote the official introduction of policies as soon as possible and crack down on piracy at the root."
"Are you sure it's possible?"
"I don't want to waste any more time explaining, if you do it, stay, if not, leave!"
There was another round of whispering, but no one left.
"What is the form of the prosecution?"
"If you can trust me, 99 Entertainment is willing to take full responsibility for this matter, so you don't need to worry about it."
"I would like to ask, your company doesn't have many works, and there is no loss, so it seems that there is no need to make such a big deal?"
"..."
Yao Yuan gestured to Yu Jiajia and said in person: "As everyone knows, 99 Group has a small video website, and we have also acquired a lot of copyrights.
I do not deny the intention of this matter. Only by rectifying piracy can the copyright in our hands be effective.
I just want to say that copyright is a matter of time. Unless some of us don't like it, it won't come. The political needs are there, and the country will be governed sooner or later.
Then why not take the initiative into your own hands?
I hope to see a standardized and reasonable online audio-visual supervision system. What's more, if copyrights are regulated, the price will naturally increase, which will also be good for you.
I am a businessman, and the best environment is when everyone makes money."
"whispering sound!"
Yinyin and Yu Jiajia glanced sideways at Yao Yuan at the same time, "That's not what you just said!"
And when everyone heard these words, they couldn't help but secretly sigh, he is indeed a sage of the Internet, synonymous with idealists, look at his big heart!
It would be better to have a strong leader, so the tone was set and the Anti-Internet Piracy Alliance was established.
After the meeting, Yu Jiajia found the representative of Huayi, chatted for a few words, and then changed the subject and said: "99 Entertainment wants to launch more dramas. It suffers from too few actors and wants to sign some new people. Your family has a big business, so don't
Do you know if you can cut off your love?"
"Mr. Yu is joking, who do you like?"
The representative of Huayi felt nervous, fearing that it was Fan Xiaopang, Li Bingbing and others, but the other party spit out someone called Zhao Liying.
Who is Zhao Liying?
He searched in his mind, oh, last year he participated in a "Yahoo Star Search" competition and signed with Huayi. He was not taken seriously and played a few small supporting roles.
He didn't want to offend the other party because of a newbie, so he immediately promised that he could reconcile.
…………
Domestic artist managers have gone downhill a bit since Wang Jinghua switched jobs to Chengtian, but they should not be underestimated. Huayi has Shuang Bing, Zhou Xun, Huang Xiaoming, etc., and its resources are still strong.
There are also brokerage companies such as Tangren, Xingmei, Hairun, and Rongxinda, which are the backbone.
Yu Jiajia is now an ally with them, so she can't recruit people aggressively, so she can only choose small roles and newcomers without a company. She is also curious about Yao Yuan's list, because there are no big stars, and the operation is not difficult.
Huayi acted quickly and immediately made an assessment of Zhao Liying: she has potential, but only potential. There are many girls like this in the entertainment industry, and only 1% of them can make it out in the end.
So Zhao Liying's contract was naturally transferred to 99 Entertainment.
Afternoon.
Zhao Liying hurriedly took a bus from Langfang to Beijing. Well, took a bus.
She doesn't live in the capital, and the cost of living is high. She usually stays in her hometown, and gets a basic salary of several thousand yuan a month. If there's a drama, she can rush there, since it's close anyway.
Recently, the company just gave her a drama "Spring Goes and Spring Comes Back Again", which was invested by Taiwan, and she played a small supporting role.
I was happily memorizing the script, but in the end I was sold!
"..."
She looked at the Tuanjiehu Building, swallowed, and went up uneasily.
at the same time.
Yu Jiajia is sitting in Yao Yuan's original office, receiving another celebrity - Gao Yuanyuan, who is 28 years old and is becoming more and more feminine and is about to enter his golden period.
"We are old acquaintances. Just reach an agreement and we will have a happy cooperation in the future."
"Thank you for your appreciation. I am honored to join 99!"
Gao Yuanyuan shook hands tenderly, still very happy.
99 Entertainment's resources are great. In addition, Yu Jiajia also promised that as long as she stays for three years, the company will invest in helping her set up a personal studio.
This temptation was too great, Gao Yuanyuan nodded directly.
It has to be said that the celebrity industry has fully demonstrated the changes in the market. At first, they were institutional actors in film studios and drama troupes. Later, they became self-employed due to the business trend, and then they all wanted to find a reliable agency.
Nowadays, having a personal studio is the wish of most celebrities.
In a few years, the studios will no longer be interested in it. Then you will have to become your own boss, sign artists, invest in equity financing, and get involved in the capital circle to be successful.
In the era of the epidemic, some celebrities have begun to return, desperately trying to squeeze into the system...
After Gao Yuanyuan finished talking, she left the office and saw a cute girl with a round face and big eyes in the corridor. She didn't recognize her, so she glanced at her and passed her by.
But Zhao Liying kept staring, wow, that's Gao Yuanyuan! From now on, we will be in the same company?
