"I want to start an online movie video site!" Jia Yapeng thought for a moment, and then gave a plausible answer.

"Online movie video sites? What is this? The wrinkles on Zou Wenhuai's face were squeezed together.

Online movie video site, this is a name that Zou Wenhuai has never heard of and has never heard of.

Although there is already an Internet in Hong Kong in this era, an old man in his 60s like Zou Wenhuai is still completely unfamiliar with the website.

In fact, in this era, you can randomly find 100 people in any country in the world, and there are probably no more than three of them who know what a website is.

"It's a website that broadcasts movies and videos online, anyone can watch movies and videos through the Internet, of course, this requires copyright permission!" Jia Yapeng said with a smile.

"The Internet, is that thing that constantly hums like a cat's meow, and it takes dozens of seconds to display a picture?" Old man Zou Wenhuai turned out to have been in contact with the Internet.

In fact, Hong Kong was opened to the Internet for the first time in 92, so it seems that Mr. Zou is also very fashionable, and he actually knows cats.

"Something like that? Can you also watch a movie? Zou Wenhuai shook his head, wondering if Jia Yapeng's head was funny, and he actually had such a whimsical idea.

In fact, Zou Wenhuai's old man's idea is not wrong, whether this is a young person or a middle-aged person in this era, I am afraid it is the same idea as Zou Wenhuai.

Because this year's Internet speed is hundreds of times slower than that of snails and turtles.

In this era, there is no dedicated network cable, let alone optical fiber, and if you want to access the Internet, you can only use the telephone line.

Of course, the telephone line cannot be directly connected to the Internet, and the telephone line must be connected to a cat called a modem, which is what everyone calls it.

However, the cat of '93 is completely different from the cat of today, the cat of '93 is not silent, but will continue to hiss like a cat's meow, so loud that even the next room can be heard clearly.

Otherwise, why is the nickname of the modem called a cat!

So in those days, you couldn't secretly surf the Internet at home, because as long as you listened to the sound, your family could arrest you.

Piercing cat meows are not enough, and more importantly, the speed of the Internet in 93 is simply indescribable.

In terms of specific data, the network speed of Hong Kong Port in 93 years is about 20b per second.

In 2020, the size of an ordinary picture is about 3MB, and 1MB is about 1000KB, and 1KB is about 1000B.

So when Zou Wenhuai learned that Jia Yapeng was actually planning to build a video website, he completely doubted whether Jia Yapeng was crazy.

"I think in about 10 years or so, this dream can come true!" Jia Yapeng said with a smile.

"More than a decade? I don't think it will be possible to do it in a hundred years! If Zou Wenhuai shook his head, this young man would still be a little too young and exaggerated after all.

In fact, this is also the reason why Jia Yapeng took this as a reason to say it, because no one will believe what Jia Yapeng said, although Jia Yapeng is telling the truth, he is already preparing for the future video website.

"10 million! The copyrights of our 448 Golden Harvest films are all packaged and sold to you! Zou Wenhuai pondered for a moment, and then offered his own price.

"Is it the copyright of the movie?" Jia Yapeng immediately asked.

"It's all copyrights except for the videotape copyright and the sequel copyright!" After Zou Wenhuai finished speaking, he looked at Jia Yapeng.

To be honest, Zou Wenhuai himself felt that the price was too high. After all, for a movie that has passed its release date and freshness, the only remaining source of income is to make sequels and sell genuine videotapes.

Once these two rights are taken away, let alone 448 movies, even if it is 4448 movies, it may not be able to bring 10 million Hong Kong dollars in 10 years!

"The price is a bit high!" Jia Yapeng shook his head, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Is it a lifetime copyright?" ”

"Yes!" Zou Wenhuai nodded.

"Then I still have one condition, that is, in the future, all the film copyrights of Golden Harvest, I also want all the copyright preemptive rights except for the video rights and sequel rights, and sell them to me at a price of 30,000 yuan each!" Jia Yapeng said.

"Yes!" Zou Wenhuai decisively agreed again, which is equivalent to earning 30,000 yuan for each movie in the future, how can Zou Wenhuai not agree.

"Good!" Boss Jia finally nodded and agreed, and when Zou Wenhuai felt a little unreal, the two sides signed a copyright agreement, and at the same time handed over all the inventory of video tapes to Jia Yapeng.

Immediately afterwards, Boss Jia visited Shaw Brothers Pictures, and a series of other film companies, and put forward his own requirements, that is, according to the different quality of the films, according to the price ranging from 10 million to 30,000 yuan, to acquire all the lifetime copyrights of these films except for the sequel rights and video tape copyrights.

Even the movies that have not yet been born in the future have signed an agreement to buy them away.

When these companies heard Boss Jia's request, they were shocked at first, and then they were extremely happy.

Jia Yapeng's request is like money for nothing to them.

The copyrights of these movies are placed in the company, which will not bring any profits, and now they can actually pick up tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars for nothing, which is simply a pie-in-the-sky thing.

Of course, no one questioned Boss Jia, thinking that Jia Yapeng was not a fool, and these copyrights must be reused. But the problem is that they can see that there is a problem, but they can't see what the problem is.

On the other hand, it is the temptation of naked real money, so even the smartest person is difficult to resist, and in the end they all obediently sold the copyright to Boss Jia.

In this way, except for a very small number of Hong Kong films whose copyrights are really difficult to find ownership, or even the videotapes have been destroyed, the lifetime film copyrights of the remaining more than 4,000 Hong Kong films fell into the hands of Boss Jia, and finally cost about 60 million Hong Kong dollars.

And in the next 30 years, all the film rights that have not yet been produced have been sold to Jia Yapeng by these film companies.

And Shaw Brothers Pictures also sold a large number of TV series copyrights to Jia Yapeng by the way, including the 87 version of the Condor Heroes, Shanghai Tang, Tony Leung's version of Lu Ding Ji, etc., even in later generations, the TV series copyrights that are also famous.

However, because of the production of TV dramas, Boss Jia no longer accepts all the orders, but buys back the copyrights of some carefully selected TV series, which is basically equivalent to buying out the TV rights of the entire TVB.

In the same way, TVB should not sell all the TV rights in the next 30 years to Boss Jia one step in advance.

At first, everyone was happy, but after 00 years, with the complete boom of the Internet and video disc market, these film companies gradually realized what a stupid agreement they had signed.

Those film companies are okay, they can get rid of the shackles of this agreement as long as they close down the old company and set up a new one.

But TVB is not so lucky, because TVB can't go out of business, otherwise their TV license will be fine, and the various brand values they have accumulated for a long time will also be gone.

TVB can only grit its teeth and bear it

So TVB, which has always been accustomed to cutting meat from actors, was viciously cut by Boss Jia.
