Chapter 1033: The Dead Duck Has a Hard Mouth

Zou Wenhuai knew very well in his heart that with the strength of those Chinese pirates, relying on his own ability, he could not compete with them at all, and now that Fang Chen has come forward, and with the VCD and strategy he brought, it seems that there is still a little bit of meaning that can be realized.

And licensing all the films to Fang Chen, the worst and worst result is nothing more than that Fang Chen didn't make it, and he didn't earn a penny.

Does it matter?

It doesn't matter!

After all, even if he holds the ownership of the film in his hands, he still hasn't earned a penny.

In other words, the situation he is facing now is actually the worst situation, the copyright of the movie is in his hands, and it has no effect, so he will give it to Fang Chen, and he will not pay for it.

And it can be regarded as a good fate with Fang Chen, like this, Fang Chen has a deep background and has great energy in China, the United States and Russia, and he can be friends with him, and he will naturally benefit immensely.

The most important thing is that Fang Chen still has unlimited potential, and no one knows what height Fang Chen can reach in the future.

But he never expected that he only raised a little objection, and Fang Chen didn't want it, and completely abandoned his film copyright as if it were a piece of paper, and threw it away without care, like garbage.

For a moment, he felt a hot pain on his face.

And at this time, he actually had the heart to turn around, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything.

Looking at Zou Wenhuai, whose face was blue and purple for a while, Fang Chen sneered disdainfully in his heart, Zou Wenhuai does have a hand in making movies, but it seems that this brain is not very good.

On the surface, he asked Guo Henian to invite these people here for dinner, and the copyright of the movie is in the hands of these people, and since he wants their film copyright to accumulate ammunition for his VCD, it seems that he is indeed asking these people to be right.

But in fact, they are at least an equal partnership, and he should even be above these people.

The reason is very simple, because the film copyright in their hands is in their hands, and they are just a worthless waste that can't earn a penny.

Even if in the future, with the popularity of VCD, a market has been opened for the movies in their hands, but judging from their business ideas and the situation in their previous lives, they can't make much money.

Yes, they are not just Zou Wenhuai.

Although judging from the situation just now, only Zou Wenhuai was arguing with him, and the others did not object to his idea, and almost did not express any position, but you must know that at this time, they did not express their position, which actually means that they actually faintly support Zou Wenhuai's idea.

But it's also true, if he can't see the development trend of CDs in the future, if he is one of these people, he doesn't dare to think about it, he doesn't think about anything, and immediately authorizes him at the price of one dollar a CD.

Having said that, in fact, here, he assumes the role of a channel provider, a role that can monetize the worthless film copyrights in their hands.

is similar to Taobao's role for Taobao merchants.

Although the goods are all Taobao merchants, but it is still Taobao, and it is also Taobao, if a Taobao merchant is rejected by Taobao, its fate is naturally self-evident, and the phrase "channel is king" is not in vain.

And Zou Wenhuai's fate may be more tragic than that Taobao merchant, after all, even if the e-commerce is cleared by Taobao, he can still go to Jingdong, go to Pinduoduo, go to Suning, go to Vipshop, etc., there is still a way to live.

But at this moment, the only person who can produce and sell CDs, and even have the confidence to defeat pirates, is Fang Chen, and Zou Wenhuai has no choice.

Even later, VCD became popular, various film and television works ushered in the second spring, and various audio-visual companies sprung up, Fang Chen was not optimistic about Zou Wenhuai, he Fang Chen beat the pirates whose copyright cost was equal to zero, and other audio-visual companies could still compete with him.

No, the competitors that Zou Wenhuai had to face at that time were those pirates, after all, since he did not get Zou Wenhuai's authorization, he naturally would not produce the films of Golden Harvest Company, and the pirates who had nowhere to go by him could only pirate the works of Golden Harvest Company, and became more ferocious than in his previous life.

And in his previous life, Zou Wenhuai didn't get a good deal from these pirates, let alone at that time.

Passing in front of Zou Wenhuai with an indifferent expression, Fang Chen stared intently at the cup in front of him, as if there was some special mystery in the tea in the cup, a picture that didn't care at all how everyone in front of him would choose, whether he would follow in Zou Wenhuai's footsteps.

To tell the truth, if everyone is like Zou Wenhuai, all of them oppose him, then he is indeed very troublesome, his entire plan will be disrupted, and the most important thing is embarrassment.

came with great fanfare, and invited so many people, but nothing was discussed, which made his old face go where to go.

But if he doesn't care, he doesn't care, and he doesn't worry that after the VCD comes out, there will be no disc to use, and it's a big deal that he will pirate.

With his energy, coupled with the fact that he holds the largest optical disc production line in China, it is absolutely a matter of minutes to become a pirate, and other pirates who can still squeeze out will not make a penny.

It's just that he doesn't look good on his face, and it's also troublesome, so he needs to find someone to be his white glove.

However, Brother Liu Yuanjun is a good candidate, his background is deep enough, and his methods are ruthless enough, so he is suitable for doing this kind of unsavory business for him, but he is a little open-minded and needs to use money to maintain it.

But it doesn't matter, it's nothing more than that he gave Liu Yuanjun a dollar of copyright fees that should have been given to the people in front of him, and they just gave them a profit of hundreds of millions of dollars a year, and they could still drive them, even five cents.

Just when everyone's hearts were mixed and turned a thousand times, Shao Yifu suddenly opened his mouth and said to Fang Chen: "Fang Dong, can you add some more to the authorization fee of this dollar?"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be shocked, and they all looked at Fang Chen, especially Zou Wenhuai, and a sneer flashed at the corner of their mouths.

He had already thought clearly, if he didn't beg Fang Chen, the money would be gone, and if he was offended, he would be offended, and he couldn't bow his head to Fang Chen, wagging his tail and begging for mercy.

And even if he begged Fang Chen bitterly, would Fang Chen be able to give him any good fruit to eat?

I'm afraid not necessarily, judging from the few short encounters with Fang Chen, Fang Chen is definitely the kind of person who can't rub sand in his eyes and will repay him.

And judging from Shao Yifu's words just now, Shao Yifu is not very satisfied with a dollar.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, he has to say that Shao Yifu, who is also the chairman of the board of directors of Shaw Brothers Film Company and the executive chairman of TVB, is the one with the highest status in the Xiangjiang film and television circle, and he is also the one with the heaviest voice among them.

And others naturally take Shao Yifu's head as the horse.

If Fang Chen can be forced to back down under Shao Yifu's pressure, he can also get off the donkey, loosen his mouth and authorize the film copyright to Fang Chen, and even he can be the first to speak in front of everyone.

In this way, since Fang Chen has no matter how much he holds a grudge, it is not easy to refuse him in front of so many people, and he even has to make a gesture of buying horse bones, otherwise he Zou Wenhuai will not be happy, and other people will have a gap in Fang Chen's heart.

This kind of unnecessary trouble, Fang Chen will naturally avoid.

Fang Chen can achieve such an identity and status, and he believes that this point of cultivation is still available in the city government.

If Fang Chen refuses to back down, Shao Yifu and Fang Chen also turn their faces, and everyone follows and scatters, this is naturally the best result, let him watch a big show for free, and when the time comes, Fang Chen will not focus his grievances on him alone.

Seriously, what he wants to see most at this time are Fang Chen and Shao Yifu, the people he hates the most turn their faces, make a big noise, and eat dogs.

Under the gaze of everyone, Fang Chen thought for two seconds, and then said with a sincere expression, but with a resolute attitude: "Sixth Uncle, one dollar is already the biggest concession I can give you, and I can't add a penny after that, otherwise, I don't dare to guarantee that I can win over those pirates and wipe out their piracy chains, I hope you and you understand this." ”

"If I can't wipe out the domestic piracy chain, then let alone a dollar, even if I give you a hundred yuan per CD, how much money can I earn?" Fang Chen asked rhetorically.

At this moment, if the genuine wants to make money, the only way is to knock out the piracy, otherwise the genuine version will not talk about making money, and it is not even possible to survive, so it can only rely on some users with relatively high moral standards and more identification with the work to return more or less to the original.

Or like a singer, when an album is released, die-hard fans will buy part of the account, but it is difficult to earn back the cost of the song, let alone how much money is given to the singer, and the singer wants to make money, only through commercial performances, concerts and variety shows, etc.

Another example is WPS, a piece of software sells for 2,200 yuan, which is the salary of ordinary people for a year, but it still doesn't make much money, which fully proves that the higher the price, the more money the company can make.

Fang Chen has always believed that if you want the general public to support the genuine version, first of all, the price of the genuine version must be affordable for the general public, and this should also be possible.

As I have said before, knowledge products have such a feature that the marginal cost is very low, and no matter how many users are added, the cost will not increase too much.

Moreover, the domestic disc market is also relatively large, and even a dollar of licensing fees is enough for these people in front of them to earn.

Of course, there is another way, and that is to pass legislation with strong laws to regulate the public and not allow the public to buy pirated goods.

This is better done in Western countries, such as Dongwa, even in 2018, the annual sales of dramas are still as high as 170 billion yen, but in fact, the number of CDs sold by Dongwa every year is less than 20 million, on average, five Dongwa people only buy one disc a year.

But in the end, the price of the Dongwei disc has reached an extremely terrifying point, each DVD disc costs more than 3,000 yen, which is converted into nearly 200 yuan a Chinese coin, and each Blu-ray disc is as high as nearly 6,000 yen, which is equivalent to 400 yuan a Chinese dollar.

And here, as soon as Fang Chen's voice fell, Shao Yifu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at Zou Wenhuai, who saw Zou Wenhuai at this glance, and felt a bad feeling in his heart.

Counting it, he and Shao Yifu have been fighting openly and secretly for more than 20 years, and if they know each other, they have been for more than 30 years, how can they not know what Shao Yifu is thinking in his heart.

Sure enough, then Shao Yifu said bluntly: "If you can't add it, you can't add it, I believe in Fang Dong, I believe in Fang Dong's strength, I believe that Fang Dong can fight a bloody way for our Xiangjiang Film and Television in the mainland, I am willing to authorize all the film and television works of Shao Family Brothers Film Company and Xiangjiang TVB, including songs, to Fang Dong to distribute in the mainland." ”

Guo Henian looked at all this with a smile on his face, although he hadn't spoken, since he could help Fang Chen invite these people over, it actually represented his inclination.

Besides, the Guo family's main business is sugar, hotels, newspapers and television stations are just part of the Guo family's many businesses, and they are not selling Xiangjiang TVB to Fang Chen, but only licensing movies, TV series, and songs to Fang Chen.

Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that he was not good at being the master of Xiangjiang TVB, he would have given these things to Fang Chen for free.

Seeing Shao Yifu say this, Lin Baixin and Zheng Yutong glanced at each other, and Zheng Yutong stretched out his hand towards Lin Baixin.

Lin Baixin also said directly: "On behalf of Zheng Dong, I will authorize all the film and television works and songs under the name of Lai Sun Group and Asia Television Station to Fang Dong for distribution. ”

Seeing that Shao Yifu, Guo Henian, Lin Baixin, and Zheng Yutong, the four bigwigs in the circle, all expressed their positions, and the Xiang brothers also decisively authorized the company's movies and songs to Fang Chen.

In an instant, Zou Wenhuai's face became extremely ugly, and he had the urge to walk away, and he even wanted to grab Shao Yifu's collar and ask Shao Yifu about it, and ask Shao Yifu about his stinginess, and how did he want money to die?

If Shao Yifu had been so generous back then, he would not have left Shaw Brothers Film Company.

Zou Wenhuai's face turned blue and white again, and he was a little overwhelmed in his heart, he didn't know if he should follow the crowd at this moment, borrow the slope and get off the donkey, and authorize the company's films to Fang Chen.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zou Wenhuai was ruthless in his heart and made up his mind.

He just didn't license the movie to Fang Chen!

He wanted to see what kind of movement Fang Chen could make.

If he had seized the opportunity before and was the first to authorize the movie to Fang Chen, he might be able to exchange it for Fang Chen's indifference to him.

And now that Shao Yifu and the others have finished expressing their positions, it will be useless for him to agree again, it is not even the icing on the cake, it is not good to say, and eating can't catch up with the heat.
