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

Chapter 158 Copyright dispute, unexpected

Magic City.

Li Mingyang hung up the phone with Wang Changtian, put the red wine glass in front of his eyes and shook it, and the crimson wine swirled.

The night outside the window, bathed in neon lights, was covered with a distorted crimson.

What Lao Gu is most worried about are Baidu and Tudou.

But what Li Mingyang and Wang Changtian are most worried about are mangoes.

Mango is the most terrifying opponent in this battle!

To be honest, Li Mingyang is not afraid of offending Baidu or Huayi.

One is going to be cinematic.

One that has to face not only Google, but also Laoliu Perfect, and the Penguin that has been hiding all the time.

Mango TV can be called the giant of satellite TV.

Mango TV has a profound foundation and an extremely powerful content supply reform mechanism. It is far ahead of other satellite TV stations, and even iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video are drooling over it.

After the closed loop of mango is formed.

Combined with Mango TV's precise publicity and promotion, as well as a competitive job system.

Mango TV has rapidly grown into the fourth largest video platform in China, allowing money to flow from one hand to the other, then appreciate in value and be invested in real estate, hotels, cultural theme parks, plazas, supermarkets, film and television studios, and e-commerce.

This forms an even more terrifying commercial closed loop.

This is the confidence that mango has in being the only one to eat the food. It relies on itself, not others.

……

The video industry is in a period of wild development, and it is itself a stage of losing money to promote its products and seize the market.

The efforts to crack down on piracy have been increasing.

But no strict measures have been taken in the review process.

Since 08, the state has issued the "Internet Audiovisual Program Service Management Regulations", during which time websites only need to conduct self-examination.

No new policies were introduced in the following four years.

In 12, the authority to review programs before broadcasting was further strengthened and delegated to broadcasting organizations for self-review and self-broadcasting. However, after review and approval, the approval must be filed with the local radio, film and television agencies.

In 14, the crackdown was further strengthened to combat content uploaded by non-real-name users, and subsequently strict control was started to prohibit unregistered overseas films and TV series from being broadcast online.

In 16, key online video content, including online dramas with an investment of more than 500 million yuan and online movies with an investment of more than 100 million yuan, will be uniformly stamped and submitted for filing.

All video content that does not meet the requirements will be removed from the shelves.

Since 17, the General Administration has required that online audio-visual programs and radio and television programs be held to the same standards and scales.
Online dramas have entered the era of online registration numbers, and supervision has become increasingly strict since then.

In 22 years, the use of a unified "Internet logo" has officially ended the era of "online registration number" for online dramas and online movies, and ushered in the era of "license".

In the licensing era, the review standards for online dramas are no different from those for traditional TV dramas and movies.

Boil the frog in warm water, step by step.

Compared with TV dramas, the censorship of variety shows has always been lax.

Movies are subject to the strictest censorship, followed by TV series, and variety shows are the loosest.

Ever since Li Mingyang edited Running Man, Wang Changtian had no intention of selling it to TV stations.

So he refused to show the film and kept delaying it, buying time for Lao Gu and delaying the listing opportunity for Youku.

Once it is submitted for review, it will be very easy for TV stations to watch "Running Man".

At that time, those TV stations that had withdrawn will also join the competition.

It is impossible to keep the copyright of Running Man.

It must be distributed.

If the TV station doesn’t hand over the copyright of the variety show, it will be impossible for it to be broadcast.

Once the copyright is distributed, no matter how much, the TV station will definitely be the one in control next time.

Television hegemony...

Stealing chicken failed...

The copyright benefits of Running Man are so huge that it is not just a matter of a few hundred million... Li Mingyang understands this, and Wang Changtian actually sees it too.

Given the high regard for copyrights abroad, once the copyright of Running Man is cut, the loss will not be compensated by a few hundred million.

So the three of them agreed that copyrights cannot be sold. What they need is the market and users, and secondly, the higher the revenue, the better.

Li Mingyang was thinking about countermeasures when Jing Tian called.

"Ming Yang, are you still in that hotel in Shanghai?" Jing Tian asked.

"Yes, I'm still here, but I'll be going back to Hengdian tomorrow."

"Don't leave in a hurry. Uncle Wang wants to see you tomorrow."

Jing Tian was very happy when she said this. After all, Lao Wang was very busy and Jing Tian herself had only seen him a few times.

Not to mention taking time out to meet someone.

"Okay, let's meet somewhere. Should I book a hotel now?"

"Don't bother. He must have arranged everything. Just wait for you on the set."

The two chatted for a while. Jing Tian was very happy and her voice was clear and pleasant.

But Li Mingyang began to murmur.

"Why did Lao Wang come here at this time?"

The next day, the crew was finishing up their filming. Li Mingyang, Zhen Zhidan, Wu Jing and Zou Zhaolong sat in a row on the stone steps in front of the hotel, chatting and joking to kill time.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, eight Mercedes-Benz cars drove into the square outside the hotel and parked in a row.

Then Lao Wang got out of the car and buttoned his gray suit while saying something to the people around him.

After he finished speaking, he saw Li Mingyang, Zhen Zhidan and others coming towards him, and immediately squinted his eyes and smiled, shaking hands with everyone one by one.

While the two sides were exchanging greetings, the doors of other Mercedes-Benz cars also opened.

Li Mingyang glanced around and saw Wang Dajun and the vice president of Tianyu. Although the two sides were fighting fiercely in private and had a falling out, they were still friendly when they met, shaking hands and praising each other.

"Boss Wang, congratulations on Huayi's listing! I heard Director Feng made 200 to 300 million from this!"

"This is all Huayi's accumulation over the years. There's nothing to be proud of. Director Li is a hero since he was young. He can get hundreds of millions of dollars in investment for a web series."

It was too cold outside, and the wind was biting. Seeing that everyone had almost finished chatting, Lao Wang smiled brightly and invited everyone to visit the hotel.

The hotel is a half-finished product. The first, second and third floors have not yet been renovated, so there is nothing much to see.

After wandering around inside and listening to Lao Wang bragging for more than ten minutes, everyone got in the car and went to the Wanda Hotel in the city.

In the box, everyone was toasting each other for a while, and Lao Wang acted as a peacemaker, asking everyone to put aside their grudges and make money together.

To be honest, Li Mingyang feels that Wanda is not qualified to be the peacemaker at the moment.

At present, the domestic film production is not high, especially the movies that can sell at the box office are all in the hands of the distributors.

Cinemas do not have much say.

Moreover, Zuoshandiao has not stepped down yet. Although Wanda Cinema Line is the number one cinema chain, China Film has three holding cinema chains and four shareholding cinema chains.

Controls more than 30% of the national screen share.

China Film Group is the cinema giant.

Wanda is really not qualified to be a peacemaker now.

But Wanda owes him a favor.

Since Lao Wang had spoken, Li Mingyang naturally said that it was okay, it was okay, they were all small matters, and interests came first.

But I know in my heart that this is just a delaying tactic...

The contradiction between the two sides is too great, and the conflict of interests is too great.

Huayi and Guangxian are in the same field, and it's a competition for money where you get to take a bigger bite and I get to take a smaller bite.

Youku and iQiyi are in a life-and-death video battle.

Mango TV owns all the copyrights of Running Man, and similar programs like Running Man touch upon Mango TV’s most fundamental interests.

There is absolutely no room for easing between the two sides.

……

Hengdian, famous for entertainment.

The second day of filming of the "Spy Play House" crew returning to Hengdian.

Li Mingyang and Wang Changtian are having a video call.

“The General Administration organized a special show for all satellite TV channels, but the effect was so good that we couldn’t keep the copyright,” Wang Changtian shook his head.

Before streaming media became popular, TV stations were the biggest buyers in the entertainment industry, so it was no big deal to offend a few TV stations.

After all, TV stations are competitors.

Forcing the broadcast after review is tantamount to offending all TV stations and is simply seeking death.

"What does Lao Gu think?" Li Mingyang asked.

"He doesn't understand much and is still dreaming of owning all the copyrights." Wang Changtian took a sip of tea and said slowly, "The copyrights must be sold. He is not afraid. We still have to stay in the film and television industry. Half of Guangguang's revenue comes from TV stations... CCTV also sent people to watch it. It's too entertaining. We gave up. In the end, it will be a competition among the five satellite TV stations. Which one do you think it should be sold to?"

“Who wants less copyright?”

"It makes no difference whether it's more or less. Even if it's 1% of the copyright, the satellite TV station has the final say."

Li Mingyang was worried, because this actually meant binding with the TV station.

“I definitely won’t sell it to Mango!”

"Not necessarily. Mango TV seems to want to turn Running Man and Keep Running into one IP. They offer the highest price and are willing to withdraw," said Wang Changtian.

"That's impossible... iQIYI and Mango TV have a strategic partnership."

"Cooperating with Baidu only helps us make money, but the core of Mango TV is still content... Mango TV is willing to withdraw voluntarily, which is good. For so long, Mango TV has not made any moves. Once it makes a move, we will be in trouble."

Wang Changtian prefers to cooperate with Mango.

Li Mingyang actually didn't understand the TV station at all, because when he became successful, the TV station was already on the decline and no longer had its former glory.

Streaming media has become the largest buyer of content channels, and producers and TV stations all look to streaming media to buy films...

iQiyi was able to catch up and surpass Youku Tudou by purchasing a large number of high-quality videos and variety shows from Mango TV.

The birth of Mango TV was based on the huge copyright fees paid by iQiyi.

When Penguin Video entered the market, there was chaos, with internal and external troubles.

Alibaba entered the market later than Mango.

Mango can only rely on Baidu and quietly plan its own online video business.

After talking with Wang Changtian, Li Mingyang felt a little worried, but he couldn't figure it out, so he stopped expressing his opinion and let Wang Changtian handle it.

As the bidding date approaches.

The situation became increasingly clear, and in the end only three satellite TV stations were left competing for Running Man.

Mango, Oriental, Zhejiang.

Blueberry TV is wealthy and powerful, and it vowed to spend 300 million to sign Running Man, which scared off many satellite TV stations.

Running Man is so entertaining.

There are many explicit regulations on satellite TV's entertainment programs, and the requirements are very strict.

Buy it, just in case you get criticized by the higher-ups for being too entertaining and having to stop streaming midway.

No satellite TV station can afford this loss.

There are only a handful of people who bought the program and had the ability to successfully broadcast it despite reports and public opinion.

Li Mingyang shares the same view as others, believing that Mango TV will successfully buy "Running Man" and merge it with "Running Man" to form the top variety show IP in the domestic entertainment industry.

After all, Mango TV is wealthy and has top-notch variety show resources, and it has also unilaterally canceled its strategic cooperation with Baidu.

It is reasonable and logical to choose mango.

However, the final result shocked everyone. Guangguang finally chose Zhejiang Satellite TV!
