Chapter 55 Copyright lawsuit, public opinion quagmire
In the next period of time, Li Mingyang was communicating with Sohu and Youku while dealing with the issues in Hengdian.
Liu Yifei will not come back to start work until January next year.
The top priority is to find a house. The rent for ten rooms in the Summit Apartment is too expensive, with a monthly rent of 15,000.
As for the male protagonist’s problem, Li Mingyang has given up resistance. For the sake of system rewards and his own reputation, he is going to use the experience faction.
As for the consequences, it no longer matters.
Only by becoming famous can we have the confidence to cope with the pressure from Huayi in its heyday after Huayi went public.
If a movie hits the streets, Huayi doesn’t have to do anything.
His future is about to be shattered, and the team he finally built together is about to collapse.
Having to wait until Penguin Video is established, he will have a chance to make a comeback.
In a blink of an eye, the time came to December 1st.
Zhang Chaoyang called and urged Li Mingyang to return to Yanbei as soon as possible to start filming Pure Love Man.
Sohu has completed all the preliminary preparation work.
I owe him everything.
On the same day, Li Mingyang finally got a copy of Tudou's contract to sell the copyright of "Goodbye Jinhua Station".
The company that purchased Goodbye Jinhua Station turned out to be Huace Film and Television, which will be the number one stock in Chinese TV dramas in the future.
Huace Film and Television was founded in 2005. The founder was the deputy director of Dongyang...
Huace was little-known at the beginning, but with the support of Baidu, it was finally listed successfully, and in the capital With the help of , he took advantage of the situation, replaced Sugar Man, and became a new generation of overlord in the TV industry.
The beginning of a glorious and dazzling decade.
We have launched TV series such as "Once Upon a Time in China", "A Little Smile Is Alluring", "Why is the Shengxiao Silent", "Shanshan Is Coming", "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" and "Dear, Beloved".
Huace was the first company to clamor for salary restrictions, and it also created countless sky-high salaries.
Those who raise prices are the most aggressive, and those who raise salary limits are also the most aggressive.
In the future, domestic youth dramas will be the most profitable outlet, so it makes sense for Huace to buy Goodbye Jinhua Station.
It’s just...don’t buy it from me, why don’t you buy it from potatoes? There's nothing wrong with you!
After getting the evidence, Li Mingyang immediately contacted the lawyer recommended by the old boss and sued Tudou for infringement.
Litigation is a very long process, especially copyright litigation.
Following the procedures, it will take a month or two for the court hearing.
Then there is a long tug-of-war, first instance, second instance and third instance. In most cases, even if you win the case in the end, it is difficult to get the money right away. It is normal to delay and delay for three or four years.
So copyright disputes in the film and television industry are all resolved privately if they can. If they cannot be resolved, they give up.
An appeal may not necessarily lead to a result, and even if there is a result, compensation may not be obtained.
Of course, Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace is indeed terrible. The two leading actors received a salary of almost 200 million, how can it not be terrible?
Domestic entertainment is such an environment, so Li Mingyang never thought about getting his own 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 wear multiple hats, even Zhong Xiaoyu and Qiao Shan are no exception.
The company allows fishing at work, but you must be at work. Li Mingyang scanned the circle.
The actors, except Zhong Xiaoyu, all returned to Yanbei.
Everyone is there behind the scenes.
“Which of you can write copy?” Li Mingyang asked.
The whole place was silent and silent.
It’s not that everyone can’t write, it’s because Li Mingyang’s requirements are too high. It’s difficult for others to meet the requirements except himself.
"Neither?" Li Mingyang asked again. Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally Zhong Xiaoyu raised her hand.
Zhong Xiaoyu felt miserable. She came to be an actress, not to write copywriting.
But she suddenly remembered that she told Li Mingyang that she was from the literature department.
"I remembered, 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 request. The content was that Tudou was so unconscionable that he sold the copyright of Goodbye Jinhua Station to a film and television company without his permission. Afterwards, not only was he penalized He didn't give it and concealed the facts.
“Before you get off work, give the essay you have written to Xiaoyu. If you write it very well, I will reward you with five hundred yuan.”
Everyone was planning to run errands, but when they heard that there was money, it was still five hundred yuan, they suddenly became excited.
"Director Li, don't worry, I'm the best at writing essays."
"Write whatever you want?"
"Can I use dirty words?"
< br>"Director Li, we have offended many people, let's offend Tudou again..." Wu Zhikui said with a worried look.
Li Mingyang shook his head, "It's not scary to offend people. What's important is what benefits you can get by offending people. Youku gave me one million, and I have no reason to refuse."
Everyone was shocked.
"Director Li is awesome! Every day, the company and the apartment are on the same line, and he made a million without saying a word!" Wu Zhikui quickly complimented.
"It's so easy to get this money..." Zhong Xiaoyu said in disbelief.
“Money on the Internet is easy to make!”
"Following Director Li is the wisest decision I have ever made in my life."
Li Mingyang is very satisfied with everyone's reaction.
He turned around and returned to the office, reading and studying while communicating with Tianxian. Li Mingyang was really afraid that Liu Yifei would run away...
The message replied by Tianxian was magical and had no sense of time.
We can talk about a topic on and off for three or four days.
She replies when she has time. Sometimes she loses the letter while chatting, and replies again the next day, continuing the conversation from yesterday.
Then it’s all nonsense...
What cats and dogs! So cute!
Fuck you! I hate cats and dogs the most!
At four o'clock in the afternoon, after get off work, Zhong Xiaoyu took the essays from her colleagues and knocked on the office door.
"Come in."
Zhong Xiaoyu opened the door and smelled the pungent smell of smoke as soon as she entered the room. To be honest, she hated men who smoked. Li Mingyang was an exception.
She especially likes to watch Li Mingyang smoke.
Li Mingyang likes to lower his head and smoke. 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 makes crooked ideas and only smokes when he is preparing to cause trouble.
When alone with Yang Mi, she is stressed, unhappy, and smokes.
When filming, I rarely smoke.
"Director Li, everyone has written their essays. Please read them over."
"Sit down and wait for me. I will tell you something later."
"Okay."
