Chapter 924: Shameless people are invincible in the world

"."

As soon as the announcement from Station B came out.

Gao Fei, who was watching the LETV video, was stunned.

As he expected, as soon as the latest announcement came out in the afternoon, he was called to the office by Boss Jia to discuss countermeasures.

Xiangyang's combination of punches was really ruthless.

On the surface, there is nothing.

But the insidious tricks are hidden between the lines.

You have to say that in the eyes of others, Bilibili, which is affiliated with three film companies, is flexing its muscles in front of all domestic video websites.

Rather, it can be said that this shady move has added fuel to the already fierce battle for various types of online copyrights.

It is an indisputable fact that piracy is very serious for most video websites at present.

Especially those involving movies, TV shows and variety shows authorized by foreign networks.

Like the exclusive copyright of "Xiao Sha and G Lao Chat" introduced by Tudou.com, Youku spent a lot of money to purchase several Korean variety shows.

There are also controversies over various videos that have been translated and re-uploaded by some so-called "subtitle groups" in China.

Therefore, Bilibili’s announcement affects more than just LETV.

Strictly speaking, every domestic video website, counted as a video website, may face the situation that LETV is about to face.

But the worst one is not LETV.

Rather, Tudou.com, which is already struggling with the unclear financial situation of the couple and is seeking to be listed on the Nasdaq in North America, may be the party most affected this time.

But LETV is not having an easy time either.

As the world's first IPO company in the industry, the secondary market responded quickly after B Station's announcement was issued.

Faced with the sudden message, it was like a direct stab in the vitals.

LETV had a similar experience to that of Huayi, which was severely stepped on in the past.

If the limit down of ChiNext in 2011 had not been the same as that of A-share, which was 10 points, LETV might have seen its market value evaporate by 1/5 on that day, and turned green along with ChiNext.

"You sit down first and wait for others to come. Let's hurry up and have a meeting." Boss Jia was very glad that today was Friday and the long Spring Festival holiday was about to come.

"Mr. Jia, I..."

Gao Fei hesitated for a moment and asked, "Should we ask Mr. Cai from Tangren to attend the meeting as well?"

Boss Jia stared at Gao Fei for a while, then said slowly, "Let's contact her."

The announcements from Bilibili are all targeted. The first one released in the morning was obviously aimed at LETV’s announcement a few days ago that artists under Tangren would join the site.

The following announcement is the copyright library that LETV is proud of.

To be honest, this guy named Xiang is really cruel.

Let’s take the last agreement between Bilibili and Youtube as an example, and they didn’t even forget to step on Tangren as well.

In the current unprecedented environment of co-productions, Hollywood producers want to gain more benefits through cooperation.

Domestic celebrities also want to take advantage of this opportunity to seek development in Hollywood.

Although the actors under Tangren have gone abroad, except Hu Ge, not many people know the others.

However, Cai Yinong still asked them to register accounts on YouTube in the name of various celebrities to cooperate with the external promotion on INS.

There is a reason why she did this.

On the one hand, this is a rainy day preparation.

On the other hand, data from domestic video sites and Weibo can be refreshed, as can data from external networks.

By spending less money, you can also create an image for your artists that they are very popular abroad and carry out a few waves of reverse marketing, which is a sure win.

However, the copyright of Youtube does not entirely belong to the creators.

Moreover, with Xiangyang's relationship with those people in Silicon Valley, it would not take a single minute for him to become a copyright thug.

At least Boss Jia thinks this is possible.

You know what, there really are such cases.

Copyright is a very complicated thing. For example, well-known classical music scores by composers who have been dead for hundreds of years seem to have no copyright.

The playable version is copyrighted.

The strategic agreement signed by the two companies clearly states that they will jointly combat infringing broadcasts on global websites.

It's just two hooligans getting together to bully people.

As luck would have it, the current domestic emphasis on digital copyright is increasing, and major video websites are also actively speaking out in this regard for their own interests.
"Boss Jia, how about I make an appointment with Mr. Rang? Didn't he just participate in the final shooting of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" recently? He should not have left yet."

While waiting, Gao Fei exchanged ideas with Boss Jia.

Gao Fei felt that he should be able to think of another solution.

Boss Jia snorted without commenting. Compared to Xiang Yang, the CEO of the Hermès Film Investment Company, with whom he had met several times and drank happily, was the worst kind of person.

"That's fine. Give him a call and make an appointment. Try to meet up and ask them what they mean. If it's really as we predicted, we won't just sit there and wait for death."

Boss Jia, who originally wanted to wait for the executives to gather for a meeting to discuss the matter, thought for a while and said with a sullen face.

Others are riding on the face of the output.

No reaction at all, that's not his style.

Whether you swallow your anger or not depends on what you are encountering.

What's more, LETV is not without the ability and conditions to fight back.

For video websites like Bilibili, which mainly relies on the content creation of UP hosts, there are more video copyrights involved, and infringements are more difficult to avoid.

He just doesn't believe that while everyone is wasting time and energy on infringement lawsuits, Bilibili itself doesn't feel the pain.

This kind of behavior hurts the enemy by a thousand and hurts yourself by eight hundred.

As the initiator of this copyright dispute, Xiang Yang made a bad move.

Realizing this, Boss Jia suddenly raised his lips and said, "Lao Gao, how about this? Go to the legal department first and summarize my idea. Then, briefly mention it to them and see how they react."

"Okay, Mr. Jia, I'll go right away."

Gao Fei glanced at the time on his wrist. He had been worried all day because of these announcements.

Why should we let the other party have an easy time?

He felt that Boss Jia's counterattack had indeed hit B Station's soft spot, and he was full of confidence before leaving the office.

"This is nothing more than another copyright war started by outsiders."

As he walked, he also summarized with great interest the logic behind this sudden fight.

I am sorry to say that the copyright disputes have never stopped since 2005, the year when Tudou.com was established, which is generally recognized as the first year of the Chinese video industry.

Youku, once the industry leader, integrated hundreds of video websites for copyright cooperation and integration, seemingly winning, but the result is that LETV, which was not well-known at the time, is now laughing.

After experiencing a painful breakout, more than 400 players are now the overlords fighting fiercely on their own side.

In this land, it is still unclear who will be the one to take care of whom.

It’s just that it’s good to have confidence.

It is also good to have sufficient experience in struggle.

But I’m afraid of encountering a rogue.

Little John answered Gao Fei's call, but in broken Chinese, he said solemnly: "I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are saying."

Make an appointment with him during the Chinese New Year?

Sorry, I'm busy.

Unless you let me take my son with me.

There's no chance if I go today.

My son is still on his way. Little John, who arrived at T3 airport early, got to know what China's Spring Festival travel is like for the first time.

In the past, he had also seen busy passengers shuttling back and forth in Terminal T3.

But the huge crowds of people today made him smack his lips.

No wonder Liu Xixi and Gong Li can naturally become tourism ambassadors of France and Paris. Even if only 1/10 of these people go to Paris.

That would also make the luxury stores on the Champs-Elysées laugh like crazy.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gao, my Spring Festival holiday has already started. If you need to communicate anything, you can send an email to my email address. I will contact you as soon as possible after the holiday."

As he uttered these words fluently, Little John almost gave himself away.

Realizing this, he quickly added: "Does Mr. Gao understand what I said?"

"." Gao Fei on the other end of the phone was stunned.

I understand you M!

It seems that you, a foreigner, not only come to our country to cause trouble, but also come here for vacation, right?

Little John's pretending to be stupid undoubtedly added fuel to the fire of this simple business war.

Gao Fei, who was already unhappy, became even more angry and was too lazy to pretend anymore.

After a brief exchange of words, he hung up the phone and returned to Boss Jia's office. Many executives who had received the notice were already there.

There was no need to embellish the story, he just recounted his conversation with little John truthfully.

LETV's executives reached a consensus in a short period of time.

If Bilibili wants to challenge LETV and other domestic video websites over copyright issues, then LETV, as the first camp and the leader in copyright, cannot help but respond.

You will send out announcements.

So will we.

And it’s better to issue the announcement sooner rather than later.

Because it was finished, everyone just got off work and went home to celebrate the festival.
On the other side, Little John pouted after hanging up the phone.

I was glad that I didn't get fooled.

The traffic around the airport was extremely congested that day, and it took him a long time to drive Lao Xiang's Passat here.

Would someone who doesn't even want to say "Happy Chinese New Year~" prepare a red envelope for his son?

It's impossible to think with your butt.

"Liu, please wait at home for a while. JoJo's flight might be delayed." Little John, who couldn't sit still in the coffee shop, came to the information desk and called Liu Qianqian after confirming his son's flight.

Xiangyang also came back today.

Because Lao Xiang has to work overtime during the Spring Festival, today's dinner is equivalent to celebrating New Year's Eve together.

"Okay, I'll go tell him then."

Liu Qianqian, who had been helping Lao Zhao and Lao Xiang prepare dinner since the afternoon, hung up the phone after saying this.

She also has to prepare the dumpling filling with her mother-in-law.

No time to practice verbal skills with little John.

But soon, someone arrived who could practice verbal skills with little John on this day.

"Happy Spring Festival!"

"Happy Chinese New Year, what are you doing here?"

At the airport, after sitting for about ten hours, Xiangyang, who had just got off the plane, was a little confused when he saw that only Little John came to pick him up.

How come he is so idle?

To be honest, I would be happier if I saw my wife picking me up at the arrival gate.

But if Liu Qianqian comes, it will be a real question whether she can get out of T3 smoothly.

"Liu was originally going to come, but when he heard that I was coming to pick up my son, he asked me to take you home." Little John smiled and said, "You don't mind waiting with me for a while, do you?"

"Me"

Xiangyang felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.

This matter needs to be made clear.

"Why did you ask JoJo and Laura to come all the way here if you have nothing to do?"

"Of course I came here to experience your traditional culture." Little John said with a smile, "You also brought Bi Shaffer back to celebrate the festival."

“.”Xiangyang was speechless.

Bi Shaffer is his assistant. If she doesn't come back with him, does that mean he will have to handle everything on his own in the next few days?

funny.

"By the way, the reaction from the people at LETV is quite big. Do you want to give Mr. Wang and the others a call?" Waiting for his son was also a waste of time, so little John simply found a topic to pass the time.

"No, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Xiang Yang shook his head.

Sorry, any reaction from LETV was within his expectations.

Since he is willing to take this step at this point in time, he must have his own deeper meaning.

He also wants to use other video platforms to improve the content environment of Bilibili and even Station A.

This bunch of UPs, it would be fine if they don’t think about how to make their own content better all day long, but they also make fun of his howling in the Vlog.

Thinking of this, he felt inexplicably annoyed.

I guess I can only share this pain with Brother Xiao Ming, who is also a bully in the ghost animal area.

"JoJo, how long will it take for them to arrive?" Xiangyang looked at the time on his wrist. He couldn't bring himself to leave little John at the airport, so he had no choice but to wait for the flight with him.

"Let's go and find a place to have some coffee first."

You can wait.

But you can't wait in vain.

It is even more impossible to stand at the arrival gate and look around like little John.

Xiangyang, who is a celebrity, doesn't want to be recognized at the airport and be misunderstood as waiting for his wife.

"Okay, I'll treat you, by the way."

When he heard that Xiangyang was going to the coffee shop, Little John was unusually generous and said that he could also treat Bi Shafer to a drink without holding a grudge.

"Why are you so generous?" Xiangyang was surprised.

"I have this." Little John proudly pulled out his wallet from his trouser pocket and took out a few COSTA COFE coupons.

It is exactly the same as the one I sent to HYS’ part-time staff recruited at the university.

After showing off, Little John found that his friends' eyes were wide open.

He smiled without feeling embarrassed at all.

What are these?

He had a few more in his coat pocket.

However, unlike those stuffed in the wallet, the several bills in the inner pocket of the coat were stuffed in red envelopes, to be given to Mu Xin and Zhiyin after dinner.

Some of Hua Xia's words are full of wisdom, and the more you read them, the more they make sense to you.

Besides the gift being small in size but conveying great sentiment, you also have to please the other person.

Xiangyang likes coffee and he likes money.

He gave out coffee coupons and Xiangyang paid real money, isn't that just perfect?

He was also showing filial piety to Xiangyang on behalf of Muxin and Zhiyin at such a young age.
