After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 396 Time Bomb, Traffic Era

There are four major film production and distribution companies in South Korea, namely CJ, Lotte, Showbox and New.

Although they are called the "Big Four", they are actually very young, because the Korean film market started relatively late.
In the late 80s, South Korea revised the Film Act, and the market opened up rapidly. At the same time, the censorship system was abolished and replaced by a "Public Performance Ethics Committee" review system.

In the mid-90s, the long-awaited film classification system was realized, and the film industry shifted to market-oriented competition.

The four major film production companies produce films each year, accounting for more than 90% of the entire film market.

The Big Four have integrated production, distribution and screening into a vertical whole, almost monopolizing the cinema market.

In the early days of Korean movies, CJ Entertainment tended to prefer big productions, Showbox liked crime themes, New was better at family (comedy) themes, and Lotte focused on light comedies.

The four companies each have their own specialties and try to avoid competition.

As the Korean film market entered the era of 1 million moviegoers, the four companies turned against each other and began to diversify.

Competition inevitably arises.

Among the four major ones, CJ Entertainment is undoubtedly the most powerful.

CJ Entertainment’s development slogan is, if we can’t kill you, we’ll buy you.

In less than ten years, he became the number one film and television giant in South Korea.

Li Mingyang thought the partner was CJ, but when he turned over the page it turned out to be Lotte!
It’s okay if you step down, I still have to stay in the country.

Li Mingyang would rather offend Zuoshandiao than take this time bomb.

CJ is the Korean entertainment giant that best fits his interests.

Neither Samsung nor Kakao can do it.

Kim, the boss of Kakao, is very powerful. He once defeated Lee Jae-yong of Samsung and became the richest man in South Korea.

However, as an Internet upstart with a grassroots background, Lao Jin had too little background and was arrested.

The assets were divided up among the chaebols.

Zuoshandiao asked Li Mingyang why your name is so popular at the box office in Korea.

Girls' Generation's publicity is just a hoax, anyone who believes it is an idiot!
Fan films are the least popular, both at home and abroad.

Especially the Korean side!
There are only about 20 million Koreans in total, but there have been more than movies that have been viewed by tens of millions of people.

You can’t do it by relying on fans... Tickets in Korea are very expensive, and cinemas focus on high-end, raising prices every year.

In the words of Li Xiucheng, the price is 10,000 won on weekdays, but it goes up to 15,000 won on weekends and holidays...what a beast!

Your Name broke many records of Chinese-language films in Japan at the local box office and caused a sensation in Asia!
It relies on the movie itself, which is based on the blockbuster movie of Daily Life.

In addition to the influence of the movie itself, the most important thing in Korea is that your name contains One Punch Man! Ma Dong-seok!
Since the hit of Running Man, Ma Dong-seok's popularity in Korea has skyrocketed, and almost all of the six movies he starred in have made back his investment.

Korean audiences recognize Ma Dong-seok very much.

Your name has also been honored.

It feels like a Hollywood blockbuster mixed with domestic stars, which makes the Korean audience's eyes light up.

Thanks to the imaginative plot and Ma Dong-seok's appeal.

The word of mouth turned out to be the best among all the movies in theaters...it made it into the top ten of the year.

Li Mingyang rejected the proposal of co-production.

Zuoshandiao asked him to think about it again and then served him tea and sent him away.

Wang Changtian didn’t quite understand, but he wanted the fat meat that was right in front of him so much.

I just want to get the spot for the Sino-Korean co-production.

But Zuoshandiao was unwilling to give it and had him kicked out.

"I feel like this spot for a Sino-Korean co-production should be reserved for big directors... ordinary people can't get it."

In the pavilion, Wang Changtian said to Li Mingyang who was looking up at the moon.

"Whoever wants it can have it, but I don't want it."

"this is a good chance."

Li Mingyang doesn’t think so, but he can’t say it. You can’t say that Lotte would rather give up the domestic market and lick its American father!
The impact was extremely bad, and the country introduced the most stringent restriction on Korean culture!

Wang Changtian tried to persuade him for a while but failed, so he went back to his room.

"There is no such thing as an opportunity without reason." Li Mingyang sighed lightly.

This year is weird overall, but he still hasn't figured out what's weird about it.

He seemed to be surrounded by a thick fog and could not see clearly.

He left the pavilion and went back to his room to rest.

After taking a shower, Li Mingyang was about to go to bed.

The cell phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone and answered it. It was like a bolt from the blue, splitting the fog in front of his eyes!
……

The next morning, Li Mingyang got into a black Mercedes-Benz business car.

"Did you bring the information?" Li Mingyang asked Xiong Yan while sitting in the back row.

Xiong Yan picked up a black briefcase from the passenger seat and handed it to Li Mingyang.

"Boss, should we go to Shanghai or go back to Hengdian?"

"Let's go to the Magic City first."

Li Mingyang flipped through the bouquet video and the information on Bilibili, and his heart gradually sank to the bottom...

Although the media reported that the traffic era began in 14.

In fact, it was the year when Penguin Video was founded that the BAT Big Three officially launched a full-scale attack on the domestic entertainment industry.

It is the beginning of the traffic era.

Penguin Video was launched in early April, and it has been almost two months. But Li Mingyang has not felt the impact of the traffic era.

Just last night.

Li Mingyang finally felt that the era of traffic had really arrived.

Bilibili was sued.

Five companies sued Bilibili for infringement at the same time... I don’t know when these companies bought the copyright of Japanese comics, and instead of suing Station A, they only sued Bilibili.

When Li Mingyang arrived at Bilibili Co., Ltd., the company was already in chaos.

Bilibili is a video website for creating and sharing ACG content.

Because there is no profit, Li Mingyang is not afraid of being sued by the Japanese.

But he never expected that a domestic company would buy the copyright and sue him...

Li Mingyang spent a day and made many phone calls before finally figuring out the problem.

Although he had long anticipated that the companies that sued Bilibili were not simple...

But I didn’t expect that they were all huge monsters!

SMG has actually set its sights on Bilibili!
too early……

Although Bilibili was indeed a member of SMG in its previous life, including the audio-visual license was obtained by SMG.

But the largest institutional shareholders of Bilibili are still Penguin, Alibaba, and Sony!

If it was just an SMG, Li Mingyang could go the shadow route, and everyone could sit down and have a good talk.

It's just... no.

Penguin, Sohu, and Youku also have their eyes on B Station...

Representatives of the five companies are not only willing to reconcile, but also willing to invest in Bilibili.

Audio-visual licenses, animation copyrights, technical support, channel promotion, the valuation starts at 1 billion...

Whatever you want, you can get it. You can directly turn the pirated B station into a legitimate website. There is only one requirement, that is, Li Mingyang cannot run away, he must become the major shareholder.

It is obvious that they are using him as a lucky cat to attract investment and get him listed.

Bilibili is a two-dimensional video website, but it is different in nature from long videos. It is more like YouTube, belongs to medium-length videos, and has certain social attributes.

Although in the past, Station B also wanted to make long videos, and established Bilibili Pictures, which was a joint venture with Shangshi Pictures, it failed not long after it started...

Long videos are the Achilles' heel of iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video.

Mango was beaten to death.

Li Mingyang doesn't mind capital investing in Bilibili.

But if Bilibili becomes a regular employee now, it will be useless!
When capital acquires Bilibili, the first thing it does is advertise.

The rise of Bilibili is based on its promise of “never adding interstitial ads” and allowing users to skip ads!

All major streaming media outlets try every possible way to put advertisements, and they wish the screen would be filled with advertisements, and they will even add advertisements during pauses.

How is it possible to allow no ads and also allow users to skip ads.

There are three paths before him.

One is to accept capital investment, and Station B will become a regular company. If it doesn’t even wait until it goes public, Station B will be ruined…

The second is to reject capital, which would force Bilibili to operate at a high loss.

Piracy is really cheap, less than 1 million a month! Just pay for salaries, servers, and rent.

Once you buy the copyright, it will be a disaster, tens of millions will be enough.

This is a naked way of messing with him!

Long-term piracy has resulted in losses.

Compared with his personal assets, it is just a drop in the bucket and he can afford to wait and spend the money.

But he can only sustain the legitimate business for a while...it won't be long before the domestic copyright is priced sky-high, and the overseas copyright will also be priced sky-high.

Youku couldn’t hold on and had to be swallowed up by Alibaba.

Sohu couldn't hold on and withdrew...

Once you get involved in a copyright dispute, it will be a bottomless pit...

Bilibili accepted a strategic investment of US$4 million from Sony, gave up long videos, and sold itself to Alibaba and Penguin in order to maintain its basic base in the two-dimensional world.

Third, don’t refuse or accept, pretend you don’t know, and just file a lawsuit directly.

Any outstanding large company lacks everything except lawsuits.

PDD is the most ridiculous. He is involved in five to six thousand lawsuits a year, most of which are intellectual property disputes.

Big companies have the money and time to play with you... Nine times out of ten, they will just shake hands and make peace.

The representatives among them are Penguin and Byte.

Penguin Byte has to deal with lawsuits every year. When the lawsuits are most intense, both parties are either on the way to court or preparing materials to sue each other.

Both at home and abroad, infringement lawsuits are commonplace for Internet and technology companies.

Although there are three paths to take...

But there's a sense of nowhere to go.

After thinking about it overnight, Li Mingyang immediately held a video conference.

Change the location of Station B!
The wh government has made an indelible contribution to Douyu’s success!
