Chapter 284 Strike Follow-up
Anyway, it's just that we can't pirate the works of Star Entertainment as soon as possible, but there are many other film companies. They don't suffer losses. It's a costless business.
As for helping to maintain that there will be no piracy in the market, they are naturally not so kind-hearted. The number of pirates in the market is not clear. Even those film companies do not know how many pirate companies exist. What they can do is to inform those big companies. Let them slow down the piracy, but there are still many piracy workshops. They don't know anything at all. In this regard, people in their own industry know better.
However, their big companies are naturally unwilling. Why can't they pirate, but those small workshops have no impact because of their small scale? For Wang Zhengfei and Gao Yan, as long as these big companies do not pirate, the pirated discs will disappear, because of those small workshops. In fact, the technology is not strong. What they do is piracy, so they don't care much about it. It's a surprise to be able to do this step, but those big companies don't want only to suffer losses. If they want to lose, they can lose together. Either everyone can do it, or everyone can't do it together. With this in mind. They just proposed to help Star Entertainment manage the market.
I thought this was over, but the rest was between Technicolor companies and those video websites. Technicolor's reputation has now been stinking, and no film company is willing to give them the post-production of this film. Their loss can be said to be very big. Basically, it will take a long time to rebuild their reputation, and it is even very likely that they can't rebuild their reputation in the future. Therefore, it is not very direct to say who will win or lose the lawsuit with them in the future, and Star Entertainment will not do it in the future. Just ask them to do special effects. It's enough to have Blue Sky Studio. The only thing that is still entangled is those video websites.
Those video websites insist that this is uploaded by their netizens themselves, which does not belong to the behavior of their website. Their website only provides a platform, so they are innocent, which makes Wang Zhengfei and others have a headache. Not to mention how long they will be entangled inside, even if they win, they don't There will be real reasonable compensation. There is no upper limit for foreign infringement in this regard. If China is the same, Wang Zhengfei is sure to sue them until they go bankrupt, but China does not have it, and in the end, he can only accompany 350,000 yuan. Therefore, after discussing with Wang Zhengfei and Gao Yan, he felt that the most important thing is not the so-called economy. Compensation, but the same as Technicolor, hitting the reputation of the other party. In fact, it has indeed been greatly affected, but the effect is not particularly obvious, because those who choose to watch piracy on video websites will not know that this is piracy? Of course I know, but they still watched the pirated version for various reasons, which shows that they can't persuade them.
In the end, Wang Zhengfei had no choice. Since he could not persuade the other party, as long as he used unconventional methods, he hung a group of computer masters from Ruifeng Technology, and then attacked these video websites overnight, one by one flags on their main business one. Several bloody typing, piracy is shameful, and cracking down on piracy. Version!
After their server was attacked, they couldn't watch all the videos, and they didn't know how much traffic was lost. Seeing such an obvious warning, how could they not know that this was simply caused by Star Entertainment, but there was no way. First of all, the technical level did catch up. Those who don't go to Ruifeng Technology are far better than those who engage in video websites.
Secondly, it's also the loss of their company. They played star-printed movies without authorization, and they caused a lot of loss. They didn't calculate it. They don't know, but they also know one thing, that is, a lot, and there are many, very many. No one who knows the truth will be on their side. This matter is the first. They are wrong. That's not what to say.
They are not from the same field as Star Entertainment. Star Entertainment can't do anything about them at all. It can't be solved by legal means, let alone technically.
But I didn't expect that Xingchen Entertainment could invite such a group of computer masters in the end. The only thing they miscalculated was to miss the relationship between Xingchen Entertainment and Ruifeng Technology. The relationship between Ruifeng Technology and Xingchen Entertainment is far better than they thought, and Ruifeng's strength is far stronger than theirs. A lot more.
Recently, I can't support it. The bosses of companies came to make amends in person, hoping that Star Entertainment could show mercy, let them go, and make a promise that they would pay for the broadcast of Star Entertainment's film and television works in the future, or ban it.
Originally, at this time, the network premiere right was very cheap, and you could get the network premiere right with 20 to 300,000 yuan. Unlike later, the online premiere right of a TV series cost millions of yuan. They thought about it, not to mention that Xingchen Entertainment forced them to bow their heads, but said that they paid the copyright fee and then broadcast it. In fact, there was no So uncomfortable, especially in terms of the advertising revenue that can be brought, it is even more incomparable. It's not that there is no profit, but that the profit is less. So they all said that they would pay to broadcast in the future. Gao Yan finally said that he would not attack their website again, and did not care about their previous piracy, which caused thousands of "Qin Shi Mingyue" After all, the loss of ten thousand, after all, this thing is too virtual and can't be explained clearly. One person's statement is really unreliable. It's impossible to rely on the loss calculated by them and their settlement. It's really too much to be forced. They don't know what they will do, but they still have paid for the websites that participated in the broadcast. Although the fee is not too much, it adds up to only about 10 million, but in general, I still recovered a lot of losses, instead of no compensation at all. Then I withdrew the lawsuit against these websites. It has been settled in private, and even if I continue to sue, I will get a total of tens of thousands of yuan in compensation. It's not enough for the cost of the lawsuit. Why? It's not necessary.
This time, the Thunder of Star Entertainment swept a number of pirated sources up and down, which can be said to shock the entertainment industry. It basically achieved the purpose of Wang Zhengfei and Gao Yan at the beginning. After this, no one dares to underestimate Star Entertainment. Although Star Entertainment has just been established. A few years, but the background is hard enough, the hands are fierce enough, the methods are vicious enough, and the foundation is solid. It can be said that it is almost predictable that another entertainment giant is about to rise. All the people in the entertainment industry who are slightly well-informed have this judgment. Suddenly, Star Entertainment also has a lot of aspects when dealing with all aspects. It won't happen that even renting a machine will be difficult at the beginning.
The activity of Star Entertainment immediately inspired many film companies, but those big companies are more rational. They all know what kind of forces are behind these piracy, which are not what ordinary people can do at all. For example, big-name companies such as Chinese, they Don't they want to fight piracy? Of course, they also want to lose how much money for this matter in a year, and the background of the political axe behind them is definitely not small, but there is no way to take those pirates, and the background of those pirates is definitely not small. Naturally, he knows that this time Star Entertainment is so easy. I swept the pirate chain up and down, not because the pirates are easy to deal with, or because the political axe is really determined to sweep the pirates, but because Gao Yan's background is too strong.
Sure enough, it was not as expected by those bosses. After receiving encouragement from Star Entertainment, those small and medium-sized film companies with no background took action one after another and issued a notice asking pirates not to piracy cloud, but those pirated companies did not look at it and did not care at all. They did not put these people in their eyes, which made that Some small and medium-sized companies have suffered a big setback. Why is the same thing, but the result is so bad? Some smart people have seen the meaning of these behind the scenes and have moved closer to Star Entertainment.
In this fight against piracy, Star Entertainment not only did not lose as many people imagined, but also gained a lot of benefits, breaking the glasses of many people.
Wang Zhengfei originally thought that the fight against piracy had come to an end, but he didn't expect that there would be a follow-up, and these people actually wanted to kidnap themselves and then let Gao Yan stop pursuing this matter. If this matter really made them succeed, they may really be let go by Gao Yan. He knew that compared with Wang Zhengfei's safety, it was not a big deal to let go of these pirates.
Then Wang Zhengfei also found a few knives and a pistol from where they came from, and suddenly there was a cold sweat. Although it was not difficult to deal with these people with his reach, the premise is that both sides are empty-handed. If the other party has knives, then Wang Zhengfei will undoubtedly be tied up. Many, not to mention guns. Although Wang Zhengfei is confident, he is not arrogant enough to fight against firearms. Once he is hit, he will definitely be killed or injured.
Fortunately, he did it early and didn't let them take out his weapons. After all, this is Hong Kong. Although the underworld prevailed, it was not 97 years ago. He ran around with knives all over the street and waited for death. It attracted the police, so Wang Zhengfei was able to get a good hit.
Wang Zhengfei felt that he was still very lucky.
