Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 395 Tooth for Tooth
Just as the media reported that the two parties were arguing over content copyright, Bilibili suddenly put various European and American dramas on Youku and other pirated video platforms without any warning.

Just like this year's hit "Pacific Rim" and the awesome "Breaking Bad" in the past two years, they were copied to Bilibili.

It’s still free to watch directly, no ads, no membership required, you can watch the whole movie, but the picture quality is not very clear.

After all, such a large amount of content requires a lot of bandwidth fees.

It also costs money to mess with others.

This incident also made the headlines of today's news and was accurately pushed to many netizens, allowing them to spread the news through interactivity.

It spreads from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

Not only Toutiao has this function, but Bilibili also has it.

Both platforms are new media platforms and have instant social communication functions. For example, Bilibili has barrage and comment functions.

Just one sentence in the barrage can allow many people to see it, and this is fission.

There is no need to promote it deliberately, just let netizens spread it through social fission. This is very fast, and the number of copied content quickly exceeds 10,000.

At one time, a large number of viewers came in to get the free stuff, and they even said that the small broken website was "conscientious"!
Those who can use this small and broken website are all free users, mostly young people.

The launch of the small broken website was not official, and there was no separate page channel opened. It was just a fake UP main account that went online.

You can search for keywords without much trouble.

After all, this is not a glorious thing, it is just tit for tat.

As soon as the small broken station launched a large number of European and American dramas, the video platforms led by Youku knew about it first.

Youku Tudou CEO Gu Yongqiang immediately informed Bilibili of its infringement and ordered it to delete the infringing content.

Zhang Nan also imitated them, saying "OK, OK, OK" but did not take any action.

She would treat these people the same way they treated her.

This perfunctory attitude made Gu Yongqiang and others very angry. You have to know that they spent real money to buy these European and American dramas.

Now it can be watched for free on Bilibili, which is equivalent to a large number of American drama viewers gathering on Bilibili.

After all, you need to be a member, and some content must be purchased separately. If you don't have a membership, there will be a lot of advertisements. This small broken site is not only free, but also has no advertisements.

The picture quality is not very clear, but that's tolerable.

Why not get it for free if you can? It's not like you have too much money to burn.

Anyway, in this era, the struggle between major Internet companies has brought many benefits to netizens, including various subsidies, red envelopes, and free stuff.

It can be said that these years are the happiest years for netizens. After these years, when the Internet landscape is established, there will no longer be such treatment.

In essence, it still blocks the road for entrepreneurs. Without challengers, if it is not blocked, large companies will be unable to sleep or eat.

What do big companies fear the most? What they fear the most is your innovation. As long as you innovate, they will spend a lot of money, either on various investments or various trials and errors, for fear that you will rise and challenge their position.

Byte is the best example.

Later, when starting a business became more difficult, the market entered into a competition for existing markets. It seemed that the business of large companies had shrunk and stopped growing, but in fact their profits had increased.

Why? Because the road to innovation is blocked, and they don’t need to spend a lot of money.

They can lay off employees without any worries, stabilize their basic base, and make money without doing anything. This is the real situation later.

Far away.

After Gu Yongqiang and Zhang Nan failed to communicate, they immediately issued a notice: "Xiaopozhan Video has launched a series exclusively broadcast on Youku Tudou, which seriously infringes on Youku's rights. We will submit litigation materials to the court and demand that the infringing company immediately delete the content and compensate for the losses."

Just like what Zhang Nan did before, posting this article is both to warn the other party and to make the conflict public so that everyone knows about it.

Not surprisingly, as soon as this announcement was issued, it was quickly reprinted and reported by major media, and of course the reasons were also explained.

Youku Tudou was the first to infringe on Chang'e Technology's copyright of "Where Are We Going, Dad?", and then Chang'e Technology retaliated. That's the situation.

After all, this happened in the past few days and it is not so easy to forget.

Subsequently, the website also issued an announcement in response: "Some users did upload relevant content, and we intercepted it many times in the background, but we found that some users repeatedly uploaded malicious content by segmenting, changing usernames, and using false titles. Once we discover or receive complaints, we will deal with it as soon as possible.

Opposing piracy is a consistent principle of Chang'e Technology. We welcome everyone's supervision to jointly promote the healthy development of the industry."

This is a direct copy of the response announcement previously issued by Youku Tudou, with only a few names changed and no other words changed.

Some netizens photoshopped the announcements issued by the two companies into a picture and found that they were 99% similar, which quickly aroused heated discussion among the public.

"Fuck, does Chang'e Technology have no clerks? They are too lazy to edit, so they just copy and change a few words and publish it directly."

"It's not very harmful, but it's extremely insulting! Gu Yongqiang must be so angry that he's going to die."

"The principal is still a dog that can't change its bad habits. He is stealing other people's content and he thinks he is right."

"The person above, you are wrong this time. It was Youku that first pirated "Where Are We Going, Dad?" and the principal retaliated."

"Support the principal, support Liu Tianxian."

"Where's Liu Tianxian? Your principal is so angry, why don't you take him back and let him vent his anger."

"The haters above, what does this have to do with Liu Tianxian?"

"That's right, everything is related to my wife. My wife has nothing to do with the principal."

"The one upstairs, that's enough." "Watch the show and eat melons!"

"."

Netizens just like to make nonsense comments even though this matter has nothing to do with them. They just like to join in the fun and watch people fighting.

This fight actually boosted the reputation of Bilibili and Chang'e Video, and traffic continued to pour in. After all, netizens love to watch fights.

The media also reported throughout that the two sides infringed upon each other's rights. People's Daily Online and Xinhua News Agency also reprinted reports on this matter.

They just report and don't say who is right or wrong.

All parties were paying attention to this matter, and it caused quite a stir for a while. After all, both sides were at odds with each other. If you pirate my content, I will copy your content.

You are rubbing copyright law on the ground like toilet paper, but there is no response.

If this matter is not handled from above, the entire online video network will be in chaos again, and TV series and movies on the Internet will not be guaranteed.

The newly emerging film and television industry has regressed to the state of a few years ago, and the efforts of many people have been wasted.

Gu Yongqiang and his people are helpless. They can either sue the company, but there won’t be any quick results, or remove the company’s program “Where Are We Going, Dad?” from the shelves, but they don’t want to compromise.

If we continue like this, we will just hurt each other.

The advertising revenue of "Where Are We Going, Dad?" on the Chang'e platform has decreased; the number of video members on Youku and other platforms has decreased, and advertising revenue has also decreased.

There is no growth on either side, but the expenses are being incurred every day!

The traffic is also diverted to multiple directions, which has an impact, but not a big one. New users come and old users leave every day, which is normal, except that they are all getting it for free.

Go watch it where there are no advertisements and no memberships.

There are no ads for "Where Are We Going, Dad" on Youku, but there are interstitial ads on Chang'e Video. If you want to watch 30 to 60 seconds, watch it on Youku instead of Chang'e Video.

If you want to watch European and American dramas on this small broken site without any advertisements or membership, just go to this small broken site. Netizens are so smart and so happy.

But advertisers are not satisfied. They have just spent tens of millions of dollars, and your content is pirated and their traffic is taken away, causing them great losses.

Yinlu PR, the title sponsor, came to Zhang Lidong and asked, "Mr. Zhang, this is not fair. You told me that it was your exclusive broadcast, so I spent 6600 million. Now other video platforms are like this. Where Are We Going, Dad? doesn't have enough traffic, and our product is not well-known. How can I explain this to Mr. Chen?"

Mr. Chen is Chen Qingshui, the CEO of Yinlu Group!

"Please be patient. I didn't expect this to happen and we didn't want it to happen. We are also victims!" Zhang Lidong explained earnestly.

These are the advertisers he brought in, and advertisers are the most important source of income for Internet companies, so it is not an exaggeration to call them financial backers.

Which Internet platform does not have advertisements?

"Just tell me what to do?" This man also knew what the situation was, but they suffered losses, so Chang'e had to pay for it.

It's not that you are the victim that people pity you.

"Well, we have a drama called "Let's Get Married" which will be aired on the 6th. I will take the initiative to put your advertisements on this drama. Just consider it as our compensation to you." Zhang Lidong said.

"Will this drama be pirated?" someone asked.

"This is a drama produced by CCTV. It is a collaboration between Yutu and CCTV. Even if you lend them some courage, they would not dare to broadcast it piratedly." Zhang Lidong said.

"That's okay."

I heard that it was a drama co-produced by Yutu and CCTV, so the quality must be no problem. Yinlu's public relations officer was slightly relieved and said, "Then the sponsorship of "Where Are We Going, Dad?" will not be cancelled, right?"

"That won't happen. We will still fulfill the previous contract. The advertisement of Let's Get Married is free for you, but it will only be shown in the first two episodes." Zhang Lidong said.

They can’t afford to lose if they advertise too much.

"Two episodes?!" The man raised two fingers.

"There is no other way. We also have to pay a high commission to the producer. When your advertisement is put up, we have to give them a share, which is equivalent to paying out of our own pockets," Zhang Lidong explained.

"Send me two more episodes so I can explain when I get back." said the PR.

"Sure, sure." Zhang Lidong waved his hand in agreement.

This struggle has cost Chang'e Technology a lot of money, but it has not suffered heavy losses. This is thanks to the fact that Liu Tianxian gave more money for the guaranteed loan. Otherwise, it would not have been able to handle this matter.

But Youku on the other side is not much better!

Because every day the small broken station is copying their content, including American dramas, Korean dramas, Thai dramas, and even Japanese dramas.

Then tell netizens and viewers that they can watch it here, and those viewers who specialize in watching overseas dramas will be extremely happy.

Of course, Youku also copied the content of Bilibili and Chang'e Video, but the content of these two platforms is not as rich as theirs.

These are all new content added this year. They were very popular at the time, but they are no longer popular afterwards. For example, the popularity of "My Love from the Star" has passed.

A lot of the content is still filled with old content from Hong Kong, which they also have. Chang'e Video does not have the deep accumulation of Youku, so you can copy it at will.

Of course, the UP host of the small site did not copy it. If he had copied theirs, it would have been a lot of fun and would have caused public outrage. There would definitely be a large number of people going to their platform to curse them.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with secretly copying some high-quality content. A few people cannot cause any trouble.

　Don’t think that the author is exaggerating. This is an adaptation of a true story, an adaptation of a true story, an adaptation of a true story!
