Chapter 455: The anger of the masses, the preparation of the new film! Quan Dingyue
"The video website industry has experienced another earthquake. Youku has joined forces with major websites to report that Qvod is spreading piracy!"
“The video player with the largest installed base in the country has been reported. Is it for justice or for peer discrimination?”
“Today, Youku Video, the largest video website in my country, joined hands with Tudou, LeTV, Kuliu.com, Liufangfang, iQiyi, 56.com and other major domestic video websites to report to the National Copyright Administration that Kuaibo is making profits by distributing pirated videos. !”
"Kuaibo is jealous, and many video websites are uniting to suppress it!"
"Ma Huateng, chairman of the board of directors of Tencent Group, recently revealed in an interview that Tencent Video, a subsidiary of Tencent, will be launched in April. He strongly condemns Qvod's use of piracy to make illegal profits, and said that it will initially allocate 5
100 million is used to purchase film and television drama rights!”
There was too much noise. Youku had just gone public, Tudou had just changed its major shareholder, and Qvod, a software that could be called an "artifact", as well as Tengxun's participation, had caused huge waves in the Internet industry.
Even the battle between Dangdang and Jingdong cannot compare with this.
After major video websites led by Youku jointly reported to the Copyright Office, the next day, more than ten domestic video websites including Huayi, Bernard, Guangxian, Hantang, Huaqi, Xinbaoyuan, Tangren, Longxinda, etc.
A group of film and television production companies filed a lawsuit in court, suing Qvod and seeking copyright fees of up to 1 billion!
If it was just a matter of the Internet industry just now, it is now related to the entire entertainment industry. Even the formalization of copyright can make all film and television companies make a fortune.
For example, the film and television companies that were established earlier still have twenty or thirty TV series and about ten movies. Even if they are cheap, they still make a lot of money.
In Hollywood, apart from their publicity and distribution channels, the most valuable thing for those giants is their film library. Over the past century, there have been thousands of films, and the annual income from the Internet, TV, and video copyrights of these films alone is hundreds of millions of dollars.
Such a big thing happened between the Lunar New Year period and the Spring Festival, which is enough to provide a gluttonous feast for the media.
"The film and television industry has dealt a fatal blow to Qvod and demanded sky-high copyright compensation!"
“More than a dozen film and television companies have taken Kuaibo to court at the same time, and Kuaibo’s bankruptcy is imminent!”
"Following the joint reports from major video websites, Huayi Brothers Media, the largest private film and television company in China, has joined forces with Guangxian Media, Berna Pictures, Hantang Media, Pony Pictures, and China Test Films to publish a written complaint soon.
Go to court!”
"When the wall fell and everyone pushed back, the sudden attack on the film and television industry became the last boulder that broke the camel's back!"
"The country is committed to promoting the formalization of Internet copyright, and wants to take action on Qvod!"
The continuous news media has confused the common people.
I originally thought it was just a small fight. In the past, Kuaibo often fined me two to three hundred thousand yuan, but nothing happened at all.
After all, the awareness of genuineness of this idea is not strong enough. For many people, they still choose to watch free movies on their computers. Only a handful of movies that they like very much will go to the cinema to watch them.
Furthermore, what is Qvod?
Anyone who has a computer does not need to install video websites such as Youku and Tudou, and does not need to install games, but Qvod is absolutely essential.
But slowly, as more and more news came out, and dozens of companies came forward, netizens began to believe this.
In a certain university dormitory, Li Qiang was playing with poisoned milk powder. The big red dog used his double swords to form a team and killed two people on the other side by chopping melons and vegetables in twos and twos.
There were several messages on the screen, "Trash red eyes, use colorless and colorless mother to kill the whole family", but he turned a deaf ear to it.
"The two swords are not colorless!"
He turned off the burst of text and typed out a few words with a look of disdain on his face.
He opened the burst again, moved his fingers, and prepared to kill the third person on the other side.
At this time, a sweaty roommate wearing a Tracy McGrady jersey ran up with a basketball in his arms, sat down directly in front of the computer, and turned it on as quickly as possible.
"Qiangzi, why are you still playing games?"
"What's wrong?"
The pk had already started. Li Qiang clicked on the keyboard, moved skillfully, and replied strangely.
The roommate drank a full bottle of water in one go, panting heavily, and immediately turned on Qvod after turning on the computer.
Seeing the familiar interface, Li Qiang couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, you just watched it after playing, you're not afraid of collapse!"
"Damn it, Kuaibo is about to close down. You are still in the mood to play games. I have to download more games quickly to fill up the hard drive."
"What closure?"
"Hurry up, don't you know? I've been sued by dozens of companies, and I heard that Lao Wang is also involved."
"Damn it, it's real or fake."
"Why did I lie to you? Why don't you hurry up? Your hard drive is bigger than mine. Hurry up and download more files and delete the duplicates!"
This situation is not an exaggeration. Maybe many people will not be too excited if QQ goes bankrupt. Sooner or later, there will be TT, PP and so on.
But if this artifact disappears and the country cracks down on piracy, there will be nothing left to watch.
So the people were angry!
Since a lot of news puts Youku and Huayi first, most of the blame is directed at them.
The official Weibo accounts of the two companies received thousands of comments in just over two hours.
"Villain Gu Yongjiang! Rubbish Youku!"
“If you take Zao Pill on Youku, you will no longer use Youku to watch movies!”
"General Gu Yong
"Rubbish Huayi, your movies will never go to cinemas again!!!"
"Jiang Jun Gu Yong, the old paper has come to your door. I dare not open the door if I report you!"
"Give it back to me quickly!!!"
"Give it back to me, it's rubbish on Youku!"
The most criticized ones are Youku and Huayi, and others are not spared either.
However, due to the large number of participants and dispersed firepower, no major losses have been caused yet.
In an astonishing acquaintance with history, some netizens who went to criticize LeTV actually went to Lay's Weibo.
"Junk Lay's, I will never eat your potato chips again!"
"I didn't expect you to sell potato chips like this!"
"Sell your potato chips well, why bother minding your own business!"
The violent response from netizens was beyond the company's expectation. They didn't expect that a video player could have such a big impact.
Gu Yongjiang and Wang Zhongjun almost scolded Tang An dozens of times in their hearts. It was obviously their own initiative, but they had to say that they were the leaders in the industry. They put on their hats and asked them to take the lead.
But Tang An was much calmer. Everything was expected. After deliberate guidance, most of the firepower was gradually concentrated on Huayi and Youku.
However, you have to be strong in order to forge iron. In addition to killing the biggest pirate, you also need to strengthen yourself.
During this period, Tudou.com purchased a large number of movies, TV series, and even exclusive online copyrights for variety shows from major companies. Some of the copyrights that had been sold to other websites were also purchased separately.
There are also TV series that have been approved or are being broadcast on TV. Except for a part of the money left to operate the website, all the money has been spent.
After getting financing after listing, at least one-third of the money must be invested in copyrights. Thousands of film and television dramas are not a small amount.
By the time other websites react, Tudou has already obtained most of the exclusive copyrights. They can only buy it from Tudou, and the cost will be recovered immediately.
There are also the film libraries of major Hollywood giants, which will also be acquired when they are released in the United States. If other websites dare to pirate, they will be sued directly.
Just by distributing these online copyrights to more than a dozen video websites, the cost can be recovered.
This was exactly Jia Leting's method, and Tang An also learned it.
Tang An will no longer pay attention to the matter of Qvod. The Legal Department and Public Relations Department will follow up.
He wrote an outline for "Thailand: Detective Chinatown" and gave it to Chen Guofu to perfect. Although this film was directed by Wang Wei, Chen Guofu, as the producer, must have control over the entire process, including the casting.
Editing rights.
He is about to start preparing for his own movie. Although the shooting time is about two months, Tang An first asked Zhao Jun to find a good shooting location according to his own requirements.
There is nothing easy to choose from as an actor. I basically already have someone in mind. Let them get familiar with the environment first.
