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

Chapter 68: Using the opponent's strength to defeat the opponent, removing the firewood from under the cauldron

"Dapeng, remember that restaurant we often go to? Someone came to the store the day before yesterday and asked us to buy cigarettes! Is there any problem with your reimbursement?"

Dapeng was shocked. "Brother Li, I have been following the method you taught me strictly. It should be okay, right?"

"Although I am confident, whether this can be found out depends mainly on the strength of your company's review." Li Mingyang said indifferently: "Even if it is found out, it's okay. You can then put all the blame on me. I am too lazy to cooperate with him. He works so hard and finally gives me 10,000 yuan for his hard work. Let's just break up!"

Dapeng was delighted, he was worthy of being called Brother Li, he was really capable when something happened.

"Brother Li, this was done by both of us. How can I let you bear it alone?" Dapeng said.

"It's okay, I really don't care, haha, if you feel guilty, please treat me to a meal when you have the chance."

"Brother Li... if you fall out with him, what will happen to your movie? I can't just watch you give up halfway!"

"At worst, I can just find another partner. Okay, that's it. I have to get busy."

"okay."

After hanging up the call with Dapeng, Li Mingyang walked into a law firm. In the office of Lawyer Dong, a partner of the law firm, Li Mingyang met Lao Gu, the head of Youku.

Originally, he was going back to Hengdian yesterday.

When getting on the train, Lao Gu suddenly called and asked if the filming of Pure Love Men had been completed and whether he had time to get together.

At that time, he knew that Lao Gu was going to cheat Sohu!
In the past month, Lao Gu clearly knew that he was helping Zhang Chaoyang shoot Pure Love Men, but he didn't say a word.

After the filming was finished, we not only asked about the progress, but also got together.

Lao Gu has ulterior motives!
Sohu, which was established only two years ago, was listed on NASDAQ. Zhang Chaoyang's ability is unquestionable, but Lao Gu, who came from an investment bank and is good at capital operations, made great contributions.

Without Gu's help, Sohu would not have been listed on NASDAQ so quickly and smoothly.

The two used to be best partners, but now they have become enemies.

Next year will be a critical moment for Youku to go public.

Sohu, together with the Internet TV service provider Youku and Xunlei, launched an anti-piracy alliance, accusing Youku and Xunlei of piracy and demanding 1 million yuan in compensation.

Destroying someone's financial resources is like killing their parents... Zhang Chaoyang is extremely cruel.

Youku was lucky to have encountered Tudou's self-destruction, otherwise Lao Gu would have become a big joke in the video industry, Wang Wei.

Li Mingyang chatted with Lao Gu for a while, and Lao Gu made no secret of his dislike for Lao Zhang.

Both of them felt the same way about Zhang Chaoyang being stingy. After chatting for more than three hours, Lao Gu finally stated his purpose: he wanted to sue Zhang Chaoyang for infringement!
Li Mingyang guessed this.

However, Sohu has already gone public, and given its size, the infringement lawsuit will cause little damage to Sohu.

“Mr. Gu, there’s no point in suing Sohu. The lawsuit is over, the drama has been aired, and the traffic has been secured... and the chances of winning are very low..." said Li Mingyang.

"What good ideas do you have? By the way, Pure Love Man, do you have any tricks up your sleeve?"

"I want to stay, but there's no chance! Almost all the crew members are from Sohu."

Lao Gu sighed hypocritically.

"Mr. Gu, you can try contacting Huayi... They are planning to go public. Isn't this the area you are best at?" Li Mingyang said with a smile.

Lao Gu took off his glasses with a worried look on his face, and wiped them with a handkerchief for more than ten minutes. The lenses seemed to be almost scratched, and suddenly he laughed, "Are you interested in continuing to cooperate in filming a self-made drama? The conditions are still the same."

Li Mingyang accepted it without hesitation!
As for video websites, Youku was not the first to be listed in China. The first was LeTV. But LeTV was just a middleman, buying and selling copyrights to make profits. Its data was very fake, so it could only be listed in China.

Youku is a truly listed company, listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and is the world's first independently listed video website.

On the day of listing, the market value exceeded 30 billion US dollars, becoming the leader in the domestic video industry. If you want to find a partner in the video field, Youku is a good partner with good prospects.

After dealing with the leaders of a number of video websites, Li Mingyang, the tallest among the short ones, has discovered that online dramas are really not profitable nowadays... Lao Gu is the most trustworthy and generous.

It doesn't matter if Lao Zhang doesn't mention it...

……

January 1, Sohu headquarters.

Dapeng worked overtime for several days during the New Year's Day holiday and always felt that there was something wrong with the way his boss looked at him. However, the boss never mentioned the cigarettes and spoke very gently, with his words full of trust in him.

"How's the later stage going?"

Dapeng, who was suspicious, was startled when he suddenly heard his boss's voice.

"Ah! Almost there, only the background music is left!"

Zhang Chaoyang opened his phone and glanced at the date.

"How long will it take?" Zhang Chaoyang asked.

"It will take at least five days." Dapeng said after thinking for a while.

“Does composing music take that much time?”

"The theme song of the hanging man cannot be used. I am writing a new song."

"Why can't we use it? The copyright of the theme song belongs to Li Mingyang, just use it." Zhang Chaoyang waved his hand, "Hurry up and put it online this weekend. This self-made drama has been delayed for too long!"

Dapeng nodded vigorously, and after Zhang Chaoyang left, he took a look at the song he had created after staying up all night for countless hours.

The boss really doesn't treat Li Mingyang as a human being! He can use the copyright of the song as he wants...

Perhaps he felt guilty, so Dapeng went to the bathroom and secretly sent a message to Li Mingyang, telling him that Lao Zhang wanted to use Men's Style as the theme song.

When Li Mingyang received the news, he had just arrived in Hengdian and was waiting for a taxi on the roadside.

"Awesome! You even dare to infringe on the copyright of a song! Aren't you just handing the knife to Lao Gu?" Li Mingyang exclaimed.

Originally, Li Mingyang was worried that helping Sohu would force BAT to enter the market early, and he did not have the bargaining chips to make BAT recognize him.

No need to worry now.

With Zhang Chaoyang's way of playing, Sohu Video can rise and even sows can climb trees.

……

Directly using the theme song of Diaosi Nanzi, the speed of Chunai Nanzi suddenly increased, and it had reached the final step of output synthesis in the afternoon of the same day.

Zhang Chaoyang laughed when he heard the news.

The preparation and post-production of Pure Love Men were all completed by Sohu. Although Li Mingyang was in charge of the shooting stage, Dapeng and Sohu were both present behind the scenes and knew everything.

As long as Pure Love Men can succeed, mass replication is not a dream!
Zhang Chaoyang was imagining the future of Sohu Video when the head of the legal department came to his office and told him bad news.

Youku is going to sue him for copyright infringement and the lawyer's letter has already been sent.

Zhang Chaoyang didn't take it seriously. "Aren't you infringing enough copyright? You blatantly used pirated content to attract traffic, and you even had the nerve to sue me for infringement!"
