After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 117 1% of Youku's shares

Next, Li Mingyang began to assign tasks. Once the filming team was settled, other things would be easy to handle. He wanted to set up the filming team for Running Man before the summer vacation.

Then I started filming "Spy Play House".

After finishing filming "Spy Playing House", I will directly shoot Running Man.

Diaosi men...

Li Mingyang had to hold back and wait for the right opportunity to shoot again.

Last week, the heads of video websites including Youku, Tudou, Ku6.com, LeTV, Sohu Video, Popcorn, Six Rooms, Baofeng Video, PPIive, and PPS were all invited to have tea.

Then the owners of video websites publicly announced "de-piracy" and "full legalization" in the media.

Did Jia make money this time? He definitely did!

But if you want to make a lot of money, it's probably a bit risky...

Because these people are biting each other and suing each other frantically for infringement.

Among them, Sohu was the loudest, as the stingy guy really hated piracy.

While other companies are still making small moves, Zhang Chaoyang is joining forces with Jidong.com, Youpengpule and Huaxia Video, the three domestic new media copyright owners and distributors, to create the "China Online Video Anti-Piracy Alliance"!
It stood against all video websites and against all netizens.

Get ready for a big wave!

The first thing he wanted to do was Youku... and his former comrade-in-arms and good friend, Lao Gu.

Lao Gu seemed to know that Zhang Chaoyang was going to get him, so he went abroad to look for money a few days ago.

Before leaving, Lao Gu invited Li Mingyang to have a meal alone.

At noon that day, Lao Gu analyzed the future trend of video websites to Li Mingyang from the perspective of capital and politics.

After listening.

Li Mingyang knows that Youku’s status as the leader in the video industry is not an exaggeration.

Lao Gu’s speculation about the next two years was basically consistent with Li Mingyang’s memory.

Once all the copyrights are snatched up, each company will start to produce their own products.

The Internet’s demand for new dramas is astonishingly large, and the existing TV drama market is completely unable to meet the size of video websites.

Lao Gu really needed the exclusive broadcasting rights of Diaosi Nanzi 3 to complete Youku’s final sprint to the listing, and the conditions he offered shocked Li Mingyang speechless.

Not money, but shares.

1% of Youku shares.

Alibaba did not complete the acquisition of Youku in one go, but rather in several stages, first acquiring a stake and then acquiring the company at a premium.

A little over 80% of the shares, and finally spent 45 billion US dollars, all in cash!
The 1 point given by Lao Gu was not given by Youku, but by him. No matter how the shares are issued, he guarantees that it will be 1 point.

In other words, by the time Youku was acquired, he would have more than 5600 million US dollars.

More than 20 million! After deducting the % individual shareholder tax and stamp duty.

More than 300 million yuan in hand!
The conditions were so good that Li Mingyang couldn't believe it.

Is it really that serious for a web drama?

Go back and think about it.

But Lao Gu didn't give him time to think about it. He made a phone call and Youku's lawyer arrived, along with the law firm that Lao Gu had found for Li Mingyang.

Sign your contract today.

I can't help wanting it...

Got the Bouquet Entertainment thing sorted out.

Li Mingyang returned to school to meet up with Jing Tian. They went shopping first and then went to the hotel to make love. At night, Jing Tian's assistant came and brought her a bunch of scripts to choose from.

Li Mingyang went to the restaurant downstairs to attend a dinner party.

The initiator of this dinner was Li Shanyou, CEO of Ku6.

After Li Mingyang entered the room, he found that Mr. Li not only invited him, but also many bosses of video websites, and even Wang Wei came.

Zhang Chaoyang is not here.

Now people in the video industry have labeled him a traitor.

Even though there are a room full of big bosses who are suing each other and are like sworn enemies, when they reach the dinner table, they are all laughing and saying hello, I’m fine, everyone is fine.

At this dinner, Li Mingyang also saw Lao Chen from Shanda.

Seeing Lao Chen and Li Shanyou working together, Li Mingyang wanted to laugh, but he held it back and started practicing Tai Chi with Wang Wei.

He remembers Ku6, which would be acquired by Shanda in 2009, which is the end of this year.

Ku6 then joined Sohu's anti-piracy alliance and held three press conferences in a serious manner, announcing that it would delete uncopyrighted European and American film and television content and vowed to spend 3 million yuan to purchase genuine content.

And then...there was no then. Not long after he said this, Chen Tianqiao discovered that Li Shanyou had been lying to him and had underestimated the country's efforts to crack down on piracy.

The piracy dispute that he once thought was insignificant became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The acquisition was completed less than a month ago!
The External Propaganda Office and nine other departments jointly launched the "Sword Net Operation" to combat online piracy and infringement, which is considered to be the most severe and largest-scale piracy sanctions in history.

Chen Tianqiao, who is only interested in pan-entertainment and does not want to make games.

After going through all the hardships above, he mustered up his courage and re-entered the film and television industry.

But it happened just as the Jianwang Operation happened, and just after acquiring Ku6, it had to face a huge compensation.

They haven't even started making any money yet, but they have to pay compensation that is higher than the acquisition price of Ku6.

Chen Tianqiao completely lost his spirit and just wanted to live a good life.

"Director Li, when are you going to shoot this loser man?" Mr. Chen asked when they were drunk.

"Zhang Chaoyang..."

"Don't pay attention to him. Now that I'm here, he has nothing to do." Lao Chen said confidently.

Well, although I am very stingy, your luck is really bad!

Just wait to be beaten and cried.

"I toast to Mr. Chen." Li Mingyang stood up and toasted Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen didn't drink, waved his hand, and asked again.

Li Mingyang put down his glass and asked, "When do you think it's time to shoot? I'll listen to you."

"Of course the sooner the better."

“Who owns the copyright?”

"Of course it's grand."

Li Mingyang smiled and said, "The producer has the copyright. How much is Mr. Chen prepared to pay?"

Mr. Chen held up two fingers and said with a smile, "Twenty million. This is not the production cost, but the money given to you. If you agree, we will sign the contract today."

Mr. Chen from Shanda has never been a stingy person. On the contrary, he is very generous, so generous that it leaves people speechless.

The prototype of pan-entertainment came from Shanda’s Chen Tianqiao.

However, Lao Chen was not even qualified to be educated by domestic entertainment and was eliminated early.

All the efforts finally benefited others.

Although Shanda failed, Lao Chen's vision was not wrong, and his actions were of a level that shocked the higher-ups.

Because it is too shocking.

All IPTV projects were stopped by a document from above, and the company lost at least 06 billion yuan, more than billion yuan in ... Old Chen was almost discouraged by the loss.

Later, he did not give up and acquired Ku6. However, before it even started to develop, he had to pay hundreds of millions of dollars due to copyright issues. After going through so much hardship and seeing no hope at the end of the tunnel, Chen Tianqiao was completely disheartened. He sold off his assets and went to the United States to become a farmer.

Li Mingyang glanced at the bosses present, and his expression looked a little weird.

Because the copyright was agreed to be owned by Baidu and Qingchun Guangguang, and each participating company had one year's right to broadcast online.

Mr. Li from Ku6 probably didn't expect Lao Chen to be so domineering and was stunned.

Before Li Mingyang could speak, Gong Yu from Baidu stood up and toasted Old Chen. "Mr. Chen's actions are extraordinary. Let's toast to Mr. Chen. In the future, someday, we may even have to rely on Mr. Chen for food."

"Haha!" Old Chen picked up his wine glass and said smugly, "No, no, you are slandering me!"

He spoke modestly but had a very happy smile on his face.

The others also laughed happily.

A bunch of smiling tigers. The video industry has developed to this day. Those who can survive until now and sit at this table have all survived a narrow escape...

The most inconspicuous boss of Liujianfang, Liu Yan.

Your future will be much better than that of most people here.

Last year, this guy couldn't hold on.

The bandwidth was used up, but the advertising fees were not earned.

When the creditor who sold the bandwidth came to his door, Liu Yan did not run away.

Want money? No. Want to sue? Go ahead.

Haidian Court often summoned Liu Yan, and he would appear whenever called.

The judge’s attitude was very clear: you can collect debts, but you cannot take someone’s life.

After surviving this crisis, this guy changed his mind and found another way to start a live show.

Start making money from otakus.

For every tip that the otakus give to their beloved goddess, 40% of it goes into Liu Jianfang’s pocket.

When thousands of planes flew out of the live broadcast room per second, he finally realized it.

Compared with video websites, it is more reliable to run a show.

This simple and crude monetization method has far-reaching influence, and companies like Huya and Douyu are copying it.

The price of an airplane in the live broadcast room is 100 yuan, and the picture is an airplane picture found on the Internet. The airplane picture will not be like what happened on Station A, where someone would come to the door to ask for the removal of pirated copies.

Zero cost and zero risk, you can earn tens of thousands of yuan in just a few seconds.

This speed of making money is the same as the speed of burning money before, which is great.

Later, Liu Yan also made a rare successful retirement in the video industry. His company was acquired by Songcheng at a premium of 68 times. His net worth skyrocketed 68 times overnight, exceeding 16 billion.

In contrast, Wang Wei, who was sitting next to him and is now the boss of the video industry, was kicked out by Youku and went into animation. After many years of twists and turns, his company was on the verge of bankruptcy many times, but finally produced two small hits, White Snake and Chang'an 30,000 Miles.

A bunch of people flattered Lao Chen, and Lao Chen got so proud of himself that he drank too much.

Li Mingyang didn't do anything, and everyone took care of Lao Chen.

Then Lao Yu smiled faintly, enthusiastically pulled Li Mingyang out, and talked about Baidu's ambition, Baidu's strength, and his admiration for him.

Old Yu talks to himself.

Li Mingyang is thinking about how to get rid of Baidu and those video websites and get 1% of Youku.

As for the others, it’s easy to say. Most of the people present today will be eliminated in the future.

Lao Jia is not interested in the Diaosi men. Everyone has them, so who would he sell them to?
Old Chen can't even make it to the New Year and is about to quit.

Wang Wei hasn't divorced his wife yet, but it will happen soon.

The others were also sold out in the end.

The two giants, Baidu and Sohu, are the most troublesome.

"Director Li, I heard that Lao Gu looked for you when he left?" Lao Yu suddenly laughed.

"You are well-informed." Li Mingyang did not deny that he had met a lot of people recently.

"You are not in a hurry to go back, are you? I have prepared some desserts for you. How about coming and enjoying it?"

"It can't be a woman, I have a partner."

"Haha! Of course not. Director Li is a handsome young man, how could he lack women?" Old Yu smiled mysteriously, "You will definitely like him."

Li Mingyang thought about it and nodded in agreement.
