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

Chapter 55 Copyright lawsuit, public opinion quagmire

For the following period of time, Li Mingyang communicated with Sohu and Youku while dealing with issues in Hengdian.

Liu Yifei will not return to work until January next year.

The most urgent task is to find a house. The rent of ten rooms in the Peak Apartments is too expensive, at fifteen thousand a month.

As for the male protagonist's problem, Li Mingyang has given up resisting. For the sake of the system's rewards and his own reputation, he is prepared to use the experience method.

As for the consequences, it doesn't matter anymore.

Only by becoming famous can one have the confidence to cope with the pressure from Huayi during its heyday after its listing.

If the movie flopped, Huayi wouldn’t have to do anything.

His future was about to be shattered, and the team he had worked so hard to build was about to collapse.

He will have a chance to make a comeback only after Penguin Video is established.

In a blink of an eye, the time came to July 12th.

Zhang Chaoyang called and urged Li Mingyang to return to Yanbei as soon as possible to start filming Pure Love Men.

Sohu has completed all the preliminary preparations.

Everything is ready, I owe him.

On the same day, Li Mingyang finally got a copy of the contract for Tudou to sell the copyright of "Goodbye Jinhua Station".

The company that purchased Goodbye Jinhua Station turned out to be Huace Film & TV, the future "No. 1 Chinese TV Drama Stock".

Huace Film & TV was founded in 05, and its founder was the deputy director of Dongyang...

Huace was unknown at first, but with the support of Baidu, it finally went public successfully. With the help of capital, it took advantage of the momentum and replaced Tangren to become the new generation overlord of the television industry.

It ushered in a brilliant and dazzling decade.

It has launched TV series such as "My Past in China", "Love O2O", "The Love of Silence", "Come on, My Love", "Eternal Love", and "Dear, Beloved".

Huace was the first company to clamor for a salary cap, and it also created countless sky-high pay for films.

They are the most aggressive in raising prices and the most aggressive in calling for wage caps.

Youth dramas in China will be the most profitable outlet in the future, so it is reasonable for Huace to buy Goodbye Jinhua Station.

It's just... you don't buy it from me, but from Tudou? Are you crazy?
After obtaining the evidence, Li Mingyang immediately contacted the lawyer recommended by Boss Gu and sued Tudou for infringement.

Litigation is a very lengthy process, especially a copyright lawsuit.

It will take at least one or two months to go through the process before the court hearing.

Then there is a long tug of war, with the first, second and third trials. In most cases, even if you win in the end, it is difficult to get the money immediately. It is normal for it to be delayed for three or four years.

Therefore, copyright disputes in the film and television industry should be resolved privately if possible, and if they cannot be resolved, then just accept the loss.

An appeal may not necessarily produce a result, and even if there is a result it may not necessarily lead to compensation.

Of course, Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace is indeed bad. The two leading actors received nearly 200 million yuan in pay, so how could it not be bad?

This is the environment in the domestic entertainment industry, so Li Mingyang never thought about getting his copyright fees from the beginning. What he wanted was to drag Tudou into the quagmire of public opinion and then get money from Youku.

How to drag?
With the evidence in hand, write a short essay!

Li Mingyang opened the office door and came to the office area.

There are no purely clerical staff in Mingyang Entertainment. Most people have to take on multiple roles, even Zhong Xiaoyu and Qiao Shan are no exception.

The company allows slacking off during work, but one must be at work. Li Mingyang took a look around.

The actors, except Zhong Xiaoyu, all returned to Yanbei.

They are all there behind the scenes.

"Who among you can write copy?" Li Mingyang asked.

The whole place was silent and silent.

It’s not that everyone can’t write, it’s just that Li Mingyang’s requirements are too high, and it’s difficult for others to meet them except himself.

"You don't know any of them?" Li Mingyang asked again. Everyone looked at each other, and finally Zhong Xiaoyu raised her hand.

Zhong Xiaoyu felt very sad because she came here to be an actress, not to write copy.

But she suddenly remembered that she had told Li Mingyang that she was from the Department of Literature.

"I remember now, you used to be in the literature department."

After saying that, Li Mingyang snapped his fingers and started the meeting.

The content of the meeting was very simple. Everyone wrote an article according to his requirements. The content was that Tudou was unscrupulous and sold the copyright of Goodbye Jinhua Station to a film and television company without his permission. Not only did they not pay him a penny afterwards, they also concealed the facts.

"Before leaving get off work, give your written essay to Xiaoyu. If it's a really good one, I'll give you 500 yuan later."

Everyone was just planning to get the job done, but when they heard there was money, five hundred dollars at that, they immediately became excited.

"Director Li, don't worry, I'm best at writing essays."

"Just write it casually?"

“Can I use dirty words?”

"Director Li, we have already offended many people. If we offend Tu Dou..." Wu Zhikui said with a worried look on his face.

Li Mingyang shook his head. "It's not terrible to offend people. What's important is what benefits you can get from offending them. Youku offered me one million, and I had no reason to refuse."

Everyone was shocked.

"Director Li is awesome! He goes between the company and the apartment every day and earns a million dollars without making any noise!" Wu Zhikui complimented him quickly.

"This money comes too easily..." Zhong Xiaoyu said in disbelief.

“It’s easy to make money on the Internet!”

"Following Director Li is the wisest decision I have ever made in my life."

Li Mingyang was very satisfied with everyone's reaction.

Turning back to the office, Li Mingyang read and studied while communicating with Tianxian. He was really afraid that Liu Yifei would run away...

It's magical how the fairy replies to messages, she has no concept of time.

We can talk about one topic on and off for three or four days.

She would reply when she was free. Sometimes she would stop replying while we were chatting, but would reply the next day and continue the chat from yesterday.

Then there is some nonsense...

What cats and dogs! So cute!

Go to hell! I hate cats and dogs the most!
At four o'clock in the afternoon, it was time to get off work. Zhong Xiaoyu took her colleagues' essays and knocked on the office door.

"Come in."

Zhong Xiaoyu pushed open the door and smelled a pungent smell of cigarettes as soon as she entered the room. To be honest, she hated men who smoked, but Li Mingyang was an exception.

She especially likes watching Li Mingyang smoke.

Li Mingyang likes to smoke with his head down. She can't see his expression, but she can feel a strong aura... which makes her feel safe.

Through careful observation, she discovered several logics.

Li Mingyang usually smokes when he has evil intentions or is about to cause trouble.

When I am alone with Yang Mi, I feel stressed and unhappy, and I also smoke.

When I was filming, I rarely smoked.

"Director Li, everyone's essays are finished. Please take a look."

"Just sit there and wait for me. I'll tell you something later."

"Ok."
