During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 616 Liu Shishi's New Script Internet Rogues Are Coming

The next day.

The faint light of morning light passed through the floor-to-ceiling glass of Xishan Villa, reflected in the huge bedroom, and awakened Wei Jin.

Feeling the weight on his arm, Wei Jin turned his head to look at the woman beside him.

Liu Shishi was sleeping soundly with a gentle smile on her face, as if she was still immersed in the happy time of last night.

Glancing at the carpet, Wei Jin saw the somewhat torn black silk stockings, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Liu Shishi's temperament is actually not very suitable for black stockings, but her waist-to-hip ratio is very good. When her slender legs from long-term exercise are wrapped in black stockings, the touch is amazing.

Wei Jin couldn't help but bury his head in the girl's black hair and took a deep sniff. Unexpectedly, he made Sleeping Beauty open her eyes.

"Hmm~~Brother~~Are you awake?"

A lazy and crisp voice came into his ears, and Wei Jin held the girl's fair body tighter in his arms.

"Well, Shishi, did you sleep well last night?"

"It's fine. It's so comfortable to hold you."

As Liu Shishi spoke, she rubbed her little face against Wei Jin's chest, looking like a well-behaved kitten.

But soon, the girl seemed to remember something and patted her head.

"Brother, Sister K has received an invitation. Can you help me with the advice?"

Liu Shishi looked a little embarrassed. Last night was so crazy that she actually forgot about the important matter.

"Well, what exactly is going on?"

Wei Jin asked in a gentle voice, the warm morning sun making him a little distracted.

"The script is adapted from a Japanese suspense romance novel of the same name, called 'Five Minutes Before Midnight'. I think the reviews of the original novel are pretty good."

As the girl continued her narration, Wei Jin's brows gradually furrowed. When he heard about the Sino-Japanese co-production, he shook his head decisively.

"Shishi, just reject it. Sino-Japanese and Sino-Korean co-productions have basically never achieved any results. President Cai's talk of going global is just bragging."

"Is that so? I was saying that playing two roles by one person is quite challenging. I'll just listen to you."

There was some regret on Liu Shishi's face. She actually liked the script quite a bit, but she trusted Wei Jin's judgment more.

"Well, that's right, listen to the advice and eat a full meal."

Wei Jin was very satisfied with the girl's well-behaved character. He didn't want Liu Shishi to take on some scripts that would ruin her reputation after he had worked so hard to promote her.

However, after "The Witch" gained word of mouth, Liu Shishi is in need of expanding her fame on the big screen, so it's time to consider this.

Although "Interstellar" is a top-level resource, in fact, as far as the domestic film market is concerned, it does not provide much benefit to actresses.

It is valuable mainly because it serves as a springboard to the international market.

After thinking about it in his mind, Wei Jin probably had an idea.

"Shishi, if you want to try playing multiple roles, Jiahe has a script that is quite challenging."

Wei Jin held the girl in his arms and told her the outline of the script of "Wushuang".

This movie is one of the few in the history of Hong Kong films that has grossed over 10 billion yuan in the mainland, so Wei Jin naturally would not miss it.

The script was registered as early as when Golden Harvest was acquired, but considering the limited market potential, it was not launched hastily.

However, the current film market is becoming more and more mature, and it is time to start.

After listening to Wei Jin's introduction, Liu Shishi's face showed a touch of emotion.

"Brother, the script is wonderful, and you are so kind to me."

Upon hearing this, Wei Jin turned sideways and jokingly said, "Then should our lovely Shishi express her gratitude?"

This morning exercise did not last too long because Liu Shishi had announcements in the afternoon and evening, while Wei Jin set off for the General Administration.

At the weekend, he received a call from Director Tong, saying that there was an internal meeting and he was required to attend it, and it was a must-attend meeting.

Although he didn't know what the meeting was about, he knew it was definitely important.

Because not only film and television giants such as Wang Changtian, La Peikang, and Ye Ning will be present, but Internet companies have also received the notice.

With speculations about the content of the meeting, Wei Jin arrived at the place and saw many luxury cars parked outside the general administration.

After all, whether it is a film and television company or an Internet company, they are all well-funded.

At least when it comes to the surface, it won't hide its shortcomings like many traditional companies.

At this time, he saw Ye Ning who had just parked the car and walked over to say hello.

"Boss Ye, you look good?"

"Hahaha, it's okay."

Ye Ning couldn't hide the smile on his face, and Wei Jin knew why he was happy.

With the support of relevant departments, "Police Story 2013" really started the unparalleled harvest mode.

It has only been released for three days, and the box office has already exceeded the 2 million mark, closing at 2.16 million, which is truly terrifying.

Although the online reviews are not very good, with an online rating of only 6.3 points, the reputation will not be stable for long, but no matter what, at this rate, there will be no problem for the movie to gross over 5 million yuan.

Although Wanda is wealthy, it may not take this little profit seriously, especially since the profits from the many films it has collaborated with Shanhe Media are definitely not lower than this.

However, as the head of Wanda Films, Ye Ning personally organized a large-scale production with an investment of over 100 million yuan and was able to make a profit, which has a completely different meaning.

"Boss Ye, you are well-informed. Are you clear about the content of the meeting?"

Ye Ning shook his head: "I don't know either. It's so mysterious, but we'll know later. Let's go in first."

"it is good."

This was not the first time that Wei Jin and Ye Ning had come to the General Administration's conference room, but it had never been like today, with hundreds of seats almost full.

Looking around, Ali, Penguin, Baidu, Tudou, Youku, 360, Sohu.
Almost all the well-known Internet giants are here.

In addition, the leading companies in the film and television industry, including state-owned enterprises such as China Film, Shanghai Film, and Xi'an Film, as well as private companies such as Huayi, Bona, Star Media, and Orange Sky, were not left behind.

Moreover, the standard of the meeting was very high. The second-in-command of the General Administration of Press and Publication sat in the middle of the rostrum and presided over the meeting personally. Also sitting next to him were people from the Press and Publication Administration, the Ministry of Culture, and the National Copyright Administration.

“Are you wondering why Internet companies and film and television companies are holding a meeting together?”

Wei Jin had just sat down and whispered a few words to Lao Wang when La Peikang in the front row turned around and interrupted.

"Well, is there any news about Mr. La?"

Wei Jin and the others nodded naturally, and La Peikang did not hide it either, "In fact, today is an internal meeting, and it is also a meeting to collect opinions."

"Hmm? Collect opinions? What opinions need to be discussed by the Internet industry and film and television companies?"

Wang Changtian's words also made Wei Jin suspicious, but he already had some guesses in his mind.

At this time, the leader above had already started speaking.

“The companies present today are all leading companies in the Internet and film and television industries, and they are the leaders in their industries.

The reason for calling everyone together is to listen to everyone's opinions and views on the phenomenon of piracy in the film and television industry." As expected by Wei Jin, there are only a few topics that can be jointly discussed by the General Administration, the Press Office, the Ministry of Culture, the Copyright Bureau, as well as Internet companies and film and television companies.

The problem of piracy is undoubtedly a cancer and a chronic disease faced by both industries.

Especially with the development of the film and television industry and the increasing popularity of the Internet, the problem of piracy has reached the point where it must be solved and dealt with.

However, whether it is a film and television company or an Internet company, they have no idea how to deal with the problem of piracy and can only rely on the top to take action.

Today's meeting undoubtedly allowed everyone to see the determination of the higher-ups to rectify the situation.

Therefore, the atmosphere of the subsequent speeches by industry representatives was quite positive and enthusiastic.

Film and television companies are more focused on issues such as "physical piracy", "peripheral piracy", and "online broadcasting rights piracy".

After all, these problems have been reported to the WTO and are criticized every year.

The statements and attitudes of Internet companies are even more intense than those in the film and television industry.

Because compared to the box office losses and peripheral development issues of film and television companies, "piracy of online broadcast rights" is risk-free and highly profitable.

It can even be said that piracy is the biggest obstacle for Internet companies to enter the film and television industry.

It took a full three hours for the industry representatives to finish their speeches, and everyone expressed support and protection for this solicitation of opinions.

"In response to the call to build a cultural China, in order to accelerate the development and prosperity of the film and television culture industry, policies encourage Internet companies to enter the film and television culture industry.

In the next year, multiple relevant departments will work together to come up with specific solutions to completely eradicate the problem of piracy."

This statement undoubtedly shows that the higher-ups are really going to take action!
"As long as the copyright issue is resolved, it will be time for Internet companies to fully enter the film and television industry."

When the show was over, Wei Jin and Wang Changtian were chatting in low voices.

In fact, whether piracy is solved or not, it cannot hinder the determination of Internet companies to enter the film and television industry.

For example, there have been reports that Ali has officially expressed its acquisition intention to China Culture.

Once the acquisition is successful, Ali's classic operations will come into play.

"That's great. It's also good for us. They have money and we are professional!"

In the opinion of Guangxian Lao Wang, as more hot money pours in, the industry will develop faster, the market pie will eventually become bigger and bigger, and everyone will earn more!

But Wei Jin knew that after the Internet entered the market, it would have an impact on the industry, so he had to take precautions in advance.

"Brother Wang, they are different from coal bosses and real estate developers. Most of those working in the Internet industry have a strong desire for control and are overbearing and domineering. Be careful not to be taken advantage of."

Lao Wang was stunned for a moment, then stopped, "That shouldn't be the case. When I talked to Ali about Lost in Hong Kong before, they were quite easy to talk to."

"."

Wei Jin was speechless, but there was no way to persuade him anymore. Perhaps after the cooperation on "Lost in Hong Kong" is over, Lao Wang will see how powerful the other party is.

"By the way, brother, how did you talk about Lost in Hong Kong?"

“Oh, that’s exactly what happened.”

Wei Jin and Lao Wang talked as they walked, and soon they arrived outside the General Administration, where they saw Potato Wang Wei already waiting for him.

"Brother, do you want to join us tonight?"

Wei Jin had previously made an appointment with Wang Wei to have dinner and chat about potatoes.

After all, Wang Wei has either been directing the company's development in Shanghai or handling company-related business in North America in recent years, and they haven't gathered together for a long time.

Lao Wang shook his head: "Forget it, I have plans tonight."

"Okay, let's get together another day."

Wei Jin didn't force it. He said hello to Old Wang and walked towards Wang Wei.

But before he could take two steps, someone caught up with him.

"Mr. Wei, nice to meet you. I hope to cooperate with Shanhe Media in the future. This is my business card."

After taking the business card and looking at it, Wei Jin raised his eyebrows and a smile appeared on his face.

"Sure, sure. I still have a lot of your company's stocks in my hands, haha."

The person in front of me is the representative of Penguin Video.

"Well, Mr. Ma has always been very grateful for Mr. Wei's support."

This is just a polite remark. When Wei Jin became rich, Penguin had already been listed on the Hong Kong stock market and had no shortage of money.

At most, he is just a loyal supporter who holds stocks for a long time, but his shareholding ratio of nearly 3% is indeed worthy of Xiao Ma's attention.

"Give my regards to Mr. Ma."

"must."

After just a few words, the other party politely left, which was indeed different from Ahri's style.

"Mr. Wei, as long as the piracy problem can be solved, Tudou's market value will increase by at least several percent."

In the private dining room, Wang Wei could not conceal the excitement on his face at all.

Since its listing at the end of 10, after three years of steady development, Tudou's market value on Nasdaq has approached 150 billion US dollars, but this is basically the limit.

Because the market capacity is limited, the competition among video websites is very fierce, and there is no technical content, competitors such as Youku and Penguin have been chasing closely from behind.

In addition, with the continuous emergence of competitors, it is already very good to be able to maintain the current profit scale and market share.

Therefore, solving the piracy problem is definitely good news for Tudou, and it even has an advantage over its peers!

Because Tudou has exclusive TV series and variety shows produced by Shanhe Media, as well as a huge library of copyrights. As long as it can guarantee uniqueness, it will be an improvement in core competitiveness!
This is naturally a happy thing for Wang Wei, who holds nearly 10% of the shares.

"In fact, piracy is only one aspect. The key lies in the continuous output of content."

Wang Wei picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then nodded and said, "Well, I think so too, so I have some ideas I want to communicate with you."

"Well, you said."

"The content on the website is still a little thin at the moment, so I plan to make my own variety shows and TV series."

"Well, that's a good idea. Do you want support from the company?"

"Yes, Tudou is an outsider after all. With the support of the Shanhe Media team, it will naturally be more efficient."

"no problem."

Wei Jin would certainly not refuse. Now that Shanhe Media’s team is growing stronger and stronger, they can fully undertake some external projects.

Some scripts, including those from the Copyright Center, can be developed through Tudou.

"In addition to producing our own content, we also need to accelerate the transition to mobile devices. The future will be the era of mobile Internet."

"Well, there is no problem with the application of the software. The company will focus on marketing next and will definitely seize the market in advance."

"Okay, as long as we complete this wave, potatoes will be the undisputed number one in the market."

"Well, I'm convinced!"
