When he thought of the pirated videotapes in the mainland, Zou Wenhuai hated it so much that his teeth itched.

The videotapes in the hands of these pirates do not cost a penny to shoot, only need to pay for the videotapes, and some other transportation and sales costs.

And they, the genuine film companies, also have to consider how to recover the cost of the film by selling videotapes, and support those actors, stars, directors, and miscellaneous employees, so that the company can continue to operate.

In this way, naturally you can't beat those, cheap pirated videotapes.

This also means that if Fang Chen wants to sell the videotapes to the mainland, he must first solve the problem of pirated videotapes, not to mention exterminating those pirated videotapes, but at least like the pirates in Xiangjiang, although there is, the impact on them is relatively large, but after all, they can still make a profit.

As for whether Fang Chen can solve this problem, to be honest, he is not optimistic.

Xiangjiang is such a small place, and they, the bigwigs in the film and television industry, want to solve it, but they have not succeeded in solving it, after all, these pirates are all people on the dark side, at most, they can ensure that they are not too rampant.

Thinking of this, Zou Wenhuai subconsciously glanced at the Xiang brothers, these two fathers are from the military command, the founder of Xin Yi'an, naturally took advantage of this aspect, the movies produced by the Xiang brothers company are not only half a month later than the pirated films of other film companies, but also have fewer pirates who sell pirated videotapes.

This is the reason why the films of the Xiang Brothers Film Company have often sold well in recent years.

The thought came back to Fang Chen, Xiangjiang is so difficult to solve, not to mention the huge mainland mainland, he has investigated, the mainland has formed an industrial chain of pirated video tapes, with tens of thousands of employees, basically there are hundreds of relevant people in every city who make a living by buying pirated video tapes.

Besides, no matter how powerful Fang Chen is in the mainland and how thick his background is, I am afraid that he will not be able to drive those law enforcement officers at will, after all, it is China, not the United States.

And as far as he knows, it seems that the mainland has not paid attention to the protection of this kind of film and television copyright, and the relevant legislation is already there, but it is too lacking in law enforcement, which is basically equal to zero.

"Fang Dong said bluntly, can you think of a way at the government level to wipe out all the piracy industry chains in Huaxia? If you can't, you should stop thinking about it. Zou Wenhuai said bluntly.

Lin Baixin and the Xiang brothers also nodded lightly, if Fang Chen could sweep away the piracy industry chain in Huaxia, they would naturally be willing to support Fang Chen and hand over the copyright of the film in their hands to Fang Chen, and Fang Chen would operate it.

Anyway, they couldn't receive a penny in the mainland before, and if they handed it over to Fang Chen, even if they only earned a few hundred thousand, a few million, it would be not bad, it would be better than nothing.

But if you can't, it's not interesting.

Fang Chen shrugged his shoulders and said calmly: "I really don't have this ability." ”

In China, if he asked Liu Yuanjun and others to help and do a little trick, it would be okay, but something like this to knock down the national piracy industry chain can't be done, it really can't be done.

It can't be said that if he looks like this and smiles with the people in the industrial and commercial office, they will help him knock down the piracy industry chain in the jurisdiction, right?

Not to mention that he doesn't have such a big face, even if he does, Huaxia is so big, there are so many industrial and commercial offices, if he visits them one by one, and when the whole country is visited, this VCD will be eliminated.

Besides, according to his understanding, there is a high probability that even if he has a blatched face, the industrial and commercial office will not help him, after all, at this time, there is no precedent for cracking down on pirates in the country, and he still knows very well how difficult it is to dare to be the first in the world in China.

Most importantly, however, there is no incentive for the industrial and commercial offices, or the local government, to crack down on pirates.

After all, pirates are harmless to the mainland.

These piracy industry chains, from production to transportation and sales, always have multiple links, and these links have at least solved the employment problem of tens of thousands of people.

And these salespeople who sell pirated videotapes, especially those who peddle pirated videotapes along the street, not to mention that they all have criminal records, but petty theft has really been done before, and now they are given a livelihood that is not serious, but it is not so bad, and the local crime rate can drop a lot.

Now that you've beaten them, do you want them to do bad things?

If you count the video halls all over the country, the employment and economy that will be driven by it will really be a sea.

If the pirated video tapes are really knocked down, then these video halls will definitely have to be reversed, so the industrial and commercial offices and the local government will not knock down these pirated industry chains at all.

Especially for those people in industrial and commercial offices, there are these video halls, they can still rub oil or something if they have nothing to do, so why bother to knock them down.

And cheap video tapes can also enrich the cultural life of the people, if these cheap video tapes are gone, the people won't scold their mothers?

Of course, there must be disadvantages in everything, and there is nothing under the sun, it is a good thing that has only advantages and no disadvantages, even if it is the scientific and technological progress that is called the primary productive force.

With every technological advance, old technology and the workers who depend on it for their livelihood will be completely eliminated, the rise of the automobile has eliminated the coachman, the unmanned ticket machine has eliminated the conductor, and the intelligent robot has eliminated the assembly line worker.

The same is true of pirated film and video tapes, illegal piracy of films belonging to film companies, and then selling, will naturally damage the interests of film companies, if film companies can't make money, they can't shoot movies, then directors, actors, scene reporters, and even agent companies, Beijing Film, China Opera and other film and television academies will be unemployed and disappear.

For a long time, the film industry ceased to exist, and even pirates disappeared and ceased to exist.

It can be said that the behavior of pirates will lead to the loss of film companies, the loss of national taxes, the loss of some people, and the possibility that the entire film industry will perish because of piracy.

But the problem is that the pirates are pirating the film works of Xiangjiang, and what does it have to do with the mainland, whether it is Shaw Brothers Film Company, Golden Harvest Film Company, or TVB and ATV, they will not pay a penny of taxes to the mainland, and even if they go bankrupt, unemployment does not have to be taken care of by the mainland.

On the contrary, if the piracy industry chain is dismantled, it will lead to unemployment and other messy problems for some people.

As a result, the piracy industry chain has become a very rare and harmless existence for the mainland.

Therefore, without a strong and powerful big man to resolutely promote, it is impossible to defeat these piracy industry chains.

Seeing that Fang Chen also confessed, Zou Wenhuai pulled the corners of his mouth with a smile, he can be regarded as seeing through Fang Chen now, and Fang Chen is the white wolf with empty gloves.

first cheat the film copyright in their hands, and then talk about whether they can make money, if they make money, they will probably be divided into three melons and two dates, if they don't make money......

Zou Wenhuai sneered, then I'm afraid not a penny will be distributed to them.

"Pirated videotapes have formed an industrial chain, if you want to knock them down, how difficult it is, but we can eliminate them through scientific and technological progress, we can use new broadcast media to defeat videotapes, and in the new playback equipment, layout in advance, to restrict piracy, or even completely eliminate it. Fang Chen said confidently.

Zou Wenhuai, Lin Baixin and others looked at each other, and they could all see the confusion in each other's eyes.

A new medium of playback?

New playback device?

As the bigwigs in the film and television industry, they have made movies such as carp across the river, even the youngest Xiangjia brothers, they have also made movies with a box office of nearly one billion, why haven't they heard of any new playback media and playback equipment now.

Seeing that everyone was confused, Fang Chen chuckled, and then ordered Wu Maocai to say something.

Wu Maocai heard this, and took Guo Kongcheng, the future head of the Guo family, to move TVs and VCDs.

Looking at the TV set in front of them, and the strange black box on the TV, everyone was even more confused, not knowing what the hell Fang Chen was doing.

Is the black box a VCR? But it's much smaller than a VCR, and it doesn't have the bulky feel of a VCR.

And the opening in the middle of the black box is obviously much smaller than the size of the videotape, and it is impossible to stuff the videotape into it.

"This is a DVD player invented by our Qingtian Xiaobawang company, which is produced by the combination of digital video technology, digital audio laser turntable technology and computer technology, which concentrates laser technology, digital technology, precision processing technology, etc., and is a typical consumer product of optical mechatronics. ”

With Fang Chen's introduction, not to mention Zou Wenhuai and others, even Guo Henian and others, who had already seen the VCD in advance, were all confused, and they were completely confused by Fang Chen.

However, how does it sound so lofty?

"The reason why the DVD player is called a DVD player is mainly because its playback medium is a CD, and its main role is to transmit the film and television works burned in the CD, including songs, to the TV through electronic decoding technology, and then play it out. ”

As soon as Fang Chen's voice fell, the TV suddenly lit up, and a familiar music suddenly sounded, followed by a big 'SB' in the center of the Shaw Brothers Film Company's logo.

Seeing that this DVD player could really play movies, and the sound quality of the picture was obviously much stronger than that of the videotape, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up, and they glanced at Fang Chen from time to time, their eyes were full of curiosity.

For those of them who are engaged in films, it is really a wonderful feeling to suddenly see the so-called technological progress, and it is this new product that has never appeared in front of the public.

It's like opening the door to a new world.

Moreover, they suddenly realized that Fang Chen didn't seem to have come here just for the empty glove white wolf, there was something real.

After all, even if they don't know much about electronics, they know that developing such a new product is not an easy task.

In this way, maybe Fang Chen can really succeed, Zou Wenhuai, Lin Baixin and others couldn't help but become a little excited.

After watching the movie for about five or six minutes, Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but ask: "Fang Dong, apart from the fact that the picture and sound quality of this DVD player are better than those of the videotape, is there any advantage?"

The TV is playing the classic film "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" of Shaw Brothers Film Company, which was personally produced by him in 1963.

"The biggest advantage of optical discs is that they are cheap, the cost of optical discs is only a quarter of that of video tapes, and the most important thing is that now Huaxia my optical disc factory is the largest, with the current production line, the annual output is more than 100 million optical discs......

Hearing Fang Chen say this, the excitement in the hearts of Zou Wenhuai and the others was already beyond words, and it was about to come out, just because the cost of the CD was only a quarter of that of the videotape, and it was destined that the CD could replace the videotape.

The cost of a videotape is about 12 Hong Kong dollars, and the cost of that disc is only 3 Hong Kong dollars.

Generally speaking, the videotapes they produce will be sold for 40 or 50 yuan each, while the pirated videotapes on the mainland are usually 20 yuan.

If they use discs to store movies, it means that even if they can reduce their movies to about 30 yuan a disc without any impact on their net profits, it will definitely greatly increase the competitiveness of their genuine movies.

Besides, from the information that Fang Chen had just revealed, they found a very important point, that is, Fang Chen had actually substantially monopolized the production of optical discs in the entire mainland of the mainland.

The DVD player was invented by Fang Chen, and the CD was also produced by Fang Chen, so doesn't that mean that Fang Chen has monopolized the film and television market in the entire mainland China, and who wants to watch what movies and at what price to buy the disc, all of which are decided by Fang Chen.

In this case, is it possible that their films will not make money?

There are so many people in the mainland, even if only one-thirtieth of the family buys a CD, and they only earn 10 yuan for a CD, which also means that they can get an additional income of hundreds of millions of yuan every year, and they are almost in the upper half of the Xiangjiang market, after all, it is impossible for a family to buy only one CD.

"Dong Fang, aren't you monopolizing the film and television market in the mainland?" Lin Baixin couldn't help but say.

Hearing this, an inexplicable smile flashed at the corner of Fang Chen's mouth, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, monopoly is the best business.

However, it seems that it is not too early to rejoice, and if the disc is profitable, then these pirates will definitely find a way to buy the disc production line to produce the disc. ”

Zou Wenhuai poured a basin of cold water directly.
