There is such a story.

During the gold rush in the western United States, countless young people who wanted to make a fortune were attracted to the ravines and ravines of the western United States to pan for gold, eager to make a fortune in one fell swoop. It's a pity that after arriving in the west, I found that there were more gold diggers than gold in this broken place, and it was not those gold diggers who made a fortune in the end, but those who sold gold panning tools to these gold diggers.

For example, the famous Levi Strauss, he took advantage of the gold rush to San Francisco, USA, and found that the gold rush was unreliable, so he changed his approach, he found that gold mining requires a lot of manual labor, and the pants of gold diggers are easy to break after wearing for a long time, so he made a batch of unsalable canvas into hundreds of pants and took them to the gold mining site to sell, because the canvas material is strong and wear-resistant, and the result is very popular.

He then abandoned canvas in favor of a blue twill fabric with copper nails to reinforce the seams, and the trousers of this material were both beautiful and practical compared to the same strong and wear-resistant canvas, and soon became popular in the United States, and then around the world......

This kind of pants are jeans.

The gold rush in the western United States has long since dissipated, and there are few rich descendants of gold diggers, but Levi Strauss's jeans are still popular all over the world, and the jeans brand "Levi" he created ranked 111th in the top 500 world brands in 2018, becoming a veritable rich.

"There is no doubt that the copyright war for animation is inevitable now, whether it is the party who buys the copyright or the party who wants to sell the copyright, the intention is quite obvious. At this time, it is basically impossible to continue to pick up cheap. ”

Miss Uehara's laughter was a little unbridled and arrogant.

"In that case, why don't we push it?"

Uehara Yushin said, "Let's be specific." ”

"The few days I spent in Hong Kong were setting up a new company." Miss Uehara pressed her hands on the conference table, "At present, there is not a single employee in that new company, so after a while, I will recruit someone to sit in the office over there and deal with it." ”

"What business?"

Yushin Uehara didn't point out that Miss Uehara was clearly engaged in a leather bag company, this kind of thing is not a big deal for them, what is the point?

Miss Uehara was about to say it, but he spoke again: "Wait, let me guess ......"

He thought for a while, then tapped his finger lightly on the desktop and said, "Do you want to be an intermediary?" ”

"Pretty much." Miss Uehara smiled, "It's not an intermediary, it's a copyright agent!" ”

Yushin Uehara nodded silently.

In fact, everyone is quite familiar with this kind of thing as a copyright agent. The more well-known ones are like the copyright of music, many times, not long after a song is created, the copyright does not belong to the creator. For example, in the past, someone rushed to the music creator's Twitter to serve as a copyright police because station C used some music, asking if the other party knew about this matter, whether station C had been authorized, and so on......

However, in fact, these creators themselves do not know whether they have authorization or not, and they do not have the power to decide whether to authorize or not...... Copyright is long gone.

You ran to ask people, and they were at a loss.

Most of these copyrights will be handed over to music libraries, and some music libraries will set up copyright libraries and authorize them to others to use. Usually it's not a song by song sale, but an entire music library that can be used fairly.

This approach is similar to a copyright agent.

"Here's the problem."

Uehara Yushin did not directly approve it, but asked, "Why do you think people want to represent you?" The current situation is that the video website on the Chinese side has been contacted directly, and it is completely possible to directly prevent the middleman from making the difference. And you took advantage of this information gap some time ago, you don't think they all forgot, right? ”

Miss Uehara said confidently: "If you don't give us an agent, who will you give us?" ”

Yushin Uehara said, "I've said it all, it's completely ...... directly face-to-face."

Miss Uehara grabbed the white and said: "This year is coming to an end.,Do you know how many new ones have been released in Tokyo this year.、Sequel.、OVA、Theatrical version of the animation combined?" ”

Uehara Yushin didn't have any specific documents at hand, but he probably still had a bottom: "About 200 units, maybe more, maybe less, but probably not beyond this range...... Well, I probably understand. ”

Just like Ami Aono ran to talk about character authorization, in fact, it's not impossible to talk about one or two, the biggest problem is that if you want to talk about the past one by one, then it's a big problem.

Hundreds of animation companies have talked about it one by one, and the ownership of copyright is still strange. Some are from animation companies, some are from TV stations, and some are from the library, and there are ...... from the production committee You can talk slowly.

"Maybe at the beginning, there were people who were willing to fight for the 'copyright war', but this kind of thing can be done once and twice...... Who wants to grind so many times? The final result is nothing more than having to find an agent to negotiate. ”

Miss Uehara is very confident.

"Agents hold a lot of copyrights and will have higher bargaining power. On the other hand, customers can also talk directly to the agent, saving a lot of energy. Why not? ”

"That brings us back to the last question." Uehara Yushin asked, "You just died some time ago, and you took advantage of the time difference to trap a wave of people, and now everyone still has a lot of grudge against you, do you think they will give you the copyright?" In the case of copyright agents, it is estimated that many people will be interested. ”

"You've said the wrong thing again."

Miss Uehara smiled.

"You have forgotten the most important point in the copyright war, that is, there is a copyright war because we are here, not because we have made a lot of money by taking advantage of the information gap, but because we have bought the genuine copyright, so that pirated websites have to go the route of the copyright war. If it weren't for us, they would still be using the free copyright. ”

"Although there seems to be nothing wrong with the process, I always feel that you are arguing with words." Yushin Uehara said seriously. "And it's shameless."

"Then let me put it another way." Miss Uehara asked, "Do you think that if our website in China is now suspended, or if we don't actively participate in the copyright war, do you think the heat of this copyright war will fade faster?" ”

"Okay......" Yushin Uehara thought for a moment and agreed with Miss Uehara's statement.

"Write it down." Miss Uehara pointed to an assistant next to her, "Even Uehara Yushin has agreed, which means that this sentence is still somewhat convincing, and it can be used in the next negotiation." ”

Yunobu Uehara: "......"

He really wanted to ask if Miss Uehara had deliberately used him for an experiment just now, but after thinking about it, he still didn't ask.

"I have one last question." Yushin Uehara spoke.

"Tell me about it."

"Can I get a share of your bag company?"

Miss Uehara pointed at Uehara Yunobu, and her face changed.

"Who is this man? Why do you come to our office meeting? Security guard! Security guard! ……”
