Chapter two hundred and eighty fourth strike follow-up
Anyway, it's just that we can't pirate Star Entertainment's works as quickly as possible, but there are many other film companies' works, and they don't suffer. It's a business without capital.
As for helping to protect the market from piracy, they are naturally not so kind. There are countless pirates in the market like crucian carp crossing the river. Even the film companies don't know how many there are.
The existence of piracy companies, what they can do is to notify the big companies and ask them to slow down piracy. However, there are still many piracy workshops, and they don't know anything at all. In this regard, people in their own industry know better.
Some.
However, their big companies are naturally unwilling to do so. Why can't they piracy, while those small workshops have no impact because of their small scale? For Wang Zhengfei and Gao Yan, as long as these big companies don't piracy, then
Pirated discs will disappear in some cases, because those small workshops are actually not very skilled. They are making pirated copies, so they don’t care about it very much. It is an unexpected surprise to be able to do this, but those
Big companies don't want to be the only ones suffering losses. If they want to suffer losses, let's all suffer losses together. Either everyone can do it, or everyone can't do it. With this idea, they proposed to help Xingchen Entertainment manage this market.
I originally thought that this aspect was over. What was left was about the matters between technicolor companies and those video websites. Technicolor's reputation has been ruined now. No film company is willing to hand over the post-production of this movie.
To them, their losses can be said to be very large. Basically, it will take a long time to rebuild their credibility. It is even very possible that they will not be able to re-establish their credibility in the future. Therefore, in terms of future lawsuits with them
There is no direct meaning in who wins and who loses. In the future, Xingchen Entertainment will not ask them to do special effects. Blue Sky Studio will be fine. The only ones that are still struggling are those video websites.
Those video websites insist that this was uploaded by their netizens themselves and does not belong to their website's behavior. Their website only provides a platform, so they are not guilty. This gives Wang Zhengfei and the others a headache. Let's not talk about what's going on.
How long do we have to fight? Even if we win, we will not really get reasonable compensation. There is no upper limit for foreign infringement in this area. If this is the case in China, Wang Zhengfei is sure to sue them until they go bankrupt, but China does not.
In the end, they could only accompany each other for 35,000 yuan. Therefore, after discussing with Gao Yan, Wang Zhengfei and Gao Yan felt that the most important thing was not the so-called financial compensation, but the same as the Technicolor company, attacking the other party's reputation. In fact, it was indeed unfair.
The impact is small, but the effect is not particularly obvious, because those who choose to watch pirated versions on video websites, don’t they know that it is pirated? Of course they do, but they still watch pirated versions for various reasons, which shows that they can’t help it
Persuaded to move.
In the end, Wang Zhengfei had no choice. Since he couldn't persuade the other party, he only used unconventional methods. He hired a group of computer experts from Ruifeng Technology, and then attacked these video websites day and night, planting flags one after another on their hosts.
In the industry, a few bloody typing, piracy is shameful, crack down on piracy!
After their server was compromised, all the videos could not be watched, and no one knew how much traffic was lost. Seeing such an obvious warning, how could they not know that this was simply the fault of Xingchen Entertainment, but they had no choice.
It is true that the technical level cannot catch up with those of Ruifeng Technology. The level of those people is far better than those who run video websites.
Secondly, it is also their company's fault. They played Xingchen Printed Movies without authorization. They have not calculated how much damage they have caused. They do not know, but they do know one thing, that is, there are many, many, many, many, many, many who know the truth.
No one will stand on their side. This matter is originally their fault. There is no saying that.
They originally did not belong to the same field as Xingchen Entertainment, and Xingchen Entertainment had nothing to do with them, let alone legal means. There was no way to solve it, let alone a technical solution.
But I didn’t expect that Xingchen Entertainment would be able to hire such a group of computer experts in the end. The only miscalculation they made was that they missed the relationship between Xingchen Entertainment and Ruifeng Technology. The relationship between Ruifeng Technology and Xingchen Entertainment is far greater than theirs.
It was better to imagine, and Ruifeng's strength was far stronger than them.
Recently, I can’t stand it anymore. The bosses of each company come to apologize in person, hoping that Xingchen Entertainment can be merciful and let them go. They have also made a promise that in the future, they will pay for Xingchen Entertainment’s film and television works, or just
Banned.
Originally, the Internet premiere rights were very cheap at this time. You can get the Internet premiere rights for 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. Unlike later, the Internet premiere rights of a TV series would start at several million. Think about it.
, let’s not talk about the matter of Star Entertainment forcing them to bow their heads, let’s just say that paying the copyright fee before broadcasting is actually not that uncomfortable, especially in terms of the advertising revenue it can bring, it is not directly proportional, it is not that there is no profit,
It was just that they made less money, so they all said that they would pay to play it in the future. Gao Yan finally relented and would not attack their website anymore, and did not care about the tens of millions of losses they had caused by piracy of "Qin Shi Mingyue" before. After all, this thing
It's too virtual to explain clearly. One person's statement is really unreliable. It's impossible to settle with them based on the losses calculated by them. If you really push too hard, they don't know what they will do, but still
The websites that participated in the broadcast all paid a broadcast fee. Although it was not too much, the total amount was only about ten million, but in general, they still recovered a lot of losses, not just a little.
There was no compensation, and the lawsuit against these websites was subsequently withdrawn and settled privately. Even if the lawsuit continued, the total compensation would be tens of thousands of yuan, which is not enough to cover the cost of the lawsuit. Why bother?
necessary.
Xingchen Entertainment took action this time and raided a number of piracy sources. It can be said to have shocked the entertainment industry. It basically achieved the goal of establishing prestige that Wang Zhengfei and Gao Yan had originally thought. After this,
No one dares to underestimate Xingchen Entertainment anymore. Although Xingchen Entertainment has only been established for a few years, its background is tough enough, its attacks are ruthless, its methods are vicious enough, and its foundation is solid. It can be said that it is almost foreseeable that another one will
The entertainment giant is about to rise. All the people in the entertainment industry who are a little well-informed have made this judgment. Suddenly, Xingchen Entertainment has become more sophisticated in dealing with all aspects, and there will no longer be things like the beginning where even renting a machine was made difficult.
.
The activity of Xingchen Entertainment immediately inspired many film companies, but those big companies are relatively rational. They all know what kind of forces are behind these piracy, which is not something ordinary people can touch. For example, big-name companies such as Chinese companies
, don’t they want to fight piracy? Of course they also think about how much money they will lose a year for this matter. The government background behind them is definitely not small, but there is nothing they can do against those pirates. Those pirates
His background is definitely not small. He naturally knows that this time Xingchen Entertainment has swept up and down the piracy chain so easily, not because the pirates are easy to deal with or because the government is really determined to crack down on piracy, but because of Gao Yan's
The background is so powerful.
As expected, those small and medium-sized film companies with no background, after receiving encouragement from Star Entertainment, took action one after another and issued notices asking pirates not to allow piracy. However, those pirates did not even look at it.
They were dismissive and did not take these people into consideration, which caused a great setback to those small and medium-sized companies. How could the results of the same thing be so different? Some smart people have already seen the meaning behind these scenes and have started to pay attention to them.
Star Entertainment moves closer.
Not only did Xingchen Entertainment not suffer losses from this crackdown on piracy as many people imagined, but it also gained considerable benefits, which exceeded many people's expectations.
Wang Zhengfei originally thought that this crackdown on piracy was over, but he didn't expect that there would be a follow-up, and these people actually wanted to kidnap him and make Gao Yan stop pursuing the matter. If they really succeed in this matter
Well, they might really be let go by Gao Yan because of this. He knew that compared to Wang Zhengfei's safety, letting these pirates go was not a big deal at all.
Later, Wang Zhengfei also found several knives and a pistol that he didn't know where they came from on these people. He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Although it was not difficult to deal with these people with his hands, the premise was that both parties were empty-handed.
Next, if the opponent has a knife, then Wang Zhengfei will undoubtedly be much more constrained, not to mention a gun. Although Wang Zhengfei is confident, he is not arrogant enough to fight against firearms. Once he is hit, he will definitely be killed or injured.
Fortunately, he started early and didn't let them draw their weapons. After all, this is Hong Kong. Although the underworld is prevalent, it's not like before 1997. People running around with knives in the streets are just waiting to die, attracting the police to fight back.
Therefore, Wang Zhengfei was able to succeed with one blow.
