Chapter 295: I Refuse to Charge
Liu Tao selectively sat at the end, and refused the invitation of others and sat at the end. Although the shopping mall sometimes looks at assets, but the generational relationship is also very important, Liu Tao can talk to the top management more easily than anyone else, but at this time he must not show his privileges. Liu Tao sat at the end, everyone wanted to smile at Liu Tao, here Liu Tao also saw a lot of acquaintances, what Liu Tao didn't expect was that Brother Xiao Ma also did it next to Liu Tao.
"Mr. Liu, I heard that China Mobile and China Unicom are also planning to change SMS to traffic charges, what do you think?"
"I remember that this matter was said last year, this is a good thing, at least to save ordinary people a lot of money every month, in the same situation, traffic is far more expensive than SMS."
"It's just that they asked us to force the fee without success, and this is also a helpless move." Brother Xiao Ma lowered his voice and said to Liu Tao, and at the same time pointed to the three rich middle-aged people sitting at the top to introduce Liu Tao, and sure enough, as Liu Tao thought, these three people are the three giants of the country's three major communications.
"Today I'm just listening, not talking." Liu Tao said to Brother Xiao Ma with a smile, communication, of course, makes Liu Tao very tempted, and even many foreign giants are communication giants, but this has nothing to do with Liu Tao. How many customers does China Mobile and Unicom have in China, even children on the side of the road know how difficult it is to snatch meat from their mouths, and they can think of it with their toes, which is not to say that they can't grab it, but that the time has not yet come.
Brother Xiao Ma also smiled when he heard Liu Tao's words, and did not follow Liu Tao. I also sat in my chair and listened to the others. Generally speaking, today's events have little to do with them, but Xiao Ma occasionally talks to Liu Tao intentionally or unintentionally, and the focus is naturally on network issues. Liu Tao naturally knew what Brother Xiao Ma wanted to express, and Liu Tao always smiled slightly, which made Brother Xiao Ma very disappointed.
"Mr. Liu, I don't know what you think about the implementation of a charging system for our online video?"
"Ah, you ask me?" Liu Tao looked at the vice minister of the Ministry of Commerce with some surprise, and the vice minister nodded with a smile: "Haven't they been implemented for several years, but there are policies and countermeasures, and now free videos on the Internet are still emerging." There are still a lot of pirates. ”
"Do you mean we're going to intensify our crackdown?"
"I think you misunderstood." Liu Tao glanced at the middle-aged man with a smile. Brother Xiao Ma whispered to Liu Tao's side, this is the marketing director of Youku.
"As we all know, there is no shortage of talents in China, and there are some things that you can never forbid. To put it mildly, what can you do if you block the fast broadcast? Will that stop the discord from spreading? I wonder if there is any stopping in the end, and everyone here knows very well. Liu Tao looked at everyone with a smile. In the spirit of the attitude of not being shocking and dying. Anyway, you told me to say it, and I'm not afraid to scare you.
Sure enough, Liu Tao's words made everyone's faces change slightly, indeed. As Liu Tao said, there are some things you can never forbid. Although the country has increased the intensity of the crackdown, there are too many loopholes on the network, and this kind of thing can't take the attitude of being unplugged, otherwise it will really be flooded, but in this country with many otaku, it is almost impossible to completely eliminate this kind of thing.
"So you mean we're free again?" The deputy minister immediately understood what Liu Tao meant, and he still had a smile on his face, but his tone sounded strange.
Liu Tao nodded heavily, and said very firmly: "Yes, for me, it makes no difference whether it costs money or not. But what are we doing media for? And why do we have a movie theater? In the end, it's all about profit, but there is one thing we shouldn't forget, and that is that first of all, we have to understand that the root of our film or television is to spread a culture and entertain the public, and it should not be because of money to keep most people out. ”
"Mr. Liu, what you said is good, can we understand that the films shot by your Boyuan Group below are free for everyone to watch? Don't you want to watch the box office? Xiang Qiang, the director of Star Media, looked at Liu Tao with a tense face, and his tone revealed Yan Zòng's dissatisfaction, after this fee system was launched, they also made a lot of money.
"Of course not, I'm not a good person, why should I be free?" Liu Tao looked at Xiang Qiang with a smile and said, "Please don't misunderstand what I mean." ”
"My personal point of view is to resolutely resist online charging, but I am absolutely 200 percent in favor of cracking down on piracy." Liu Tao stretched out his hand and made an expression to express his determination: "My meaning is obvious, the media must be popular, entertainment must also be popular, the movie will be broadcast for free on the Internet after the release period, of course, a movie must have a protection period, we might as well crack down on those pirates within this protection period, and after the protection period, we will launch a free version on the Internet." In this way, it is also possible to resist pirated websites, purify the links on the Internet, and avoid the spread of viruses. ”
"Mr. Liu, you didn't say this, aren't we adopting this system now?"
"No, maybe I'm really stupid and didn't make it clear, I mean we were launching it online at the same time, not just in theaters. Of course, I don't think I'll be able to tell, after all, I'm not a professional. In short, I have an attitude and resolutely resist charging. ”
"Why?"
"No, I just don't like it." Liu Tao looked at everyone with a smile, he didn't need a reason if he didn't like it, and sometimes he had to be casual: "If you make a good movie, I think the people don't care about dozens of dollars to go to the cinema to watch a movie, but if the movies you make are all complaining, I think for a long time, how much confidence do our people still have in our domestic films, is it that the film company itself is saving to make bad movies?" ”
"Mr. Liu, you seem to be complaining about our State Administration of Radio, Film and Television?"
"No, absolutely not." Liu Tao hurriedly waved his hand to deny it, and said with a smile to the deputy director of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, in fact, what made Liu Tao very puzzling was the meeting of the Ministry of Commerce, how did the people from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television come, is it specifically to solve the problem of online video today?
"Then you're complaining about the many film companies in China?"
"That's right, after all, I'm also a movie fan, and I used to go to the cinema with my girlfriend to watch movies, and even now I'm willing to spend dozens of dollars to go to the cinema to watch movies, but domestic movies, I think about it, forget it."
Liu Tao's words made everyone present feel embarrassed, especially several well-known production companies in China. Liu Tao didn't care about everyone's attitude, just sat in his seat and watched everyone. It's useless to talk too much, the atmosphere can't be changed all at once, at least now, if you want to change, I'm afraid it's unlikely, after all, the most important thing now is money, and then other things.
