China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 557 555. Anti-Piracy Association, Sword Pointed at Potatoes (-in-)

"Is this the benefit of the sponsor father?"

Xiao Ning sighed inwardly when he heard that Zhang Tianai also wanted to devote himself.

The temptation of the entertainment industry is becoming more and more powerful, and it is really difficult to resist.

He resisted the urge to act and said seriously: "Xiao Zhang, you are very beautiful and excellent. Even if you are not like this, I will train you."

"But I still want to thank you."

Zhang Tianai leaned in Cao Yu's arms and said somewhat flatteringly: "I have not felt safe since I was a child. You are the only one who takes care of me. I don't mind if you have a wife or other women, even if you treat me as a plaything."

Cao Yu didn't expect this girl's pleasing personality to be so powerful, so he quickly interrupted her and said, "You are alone!"

"elder brother"

Zhang Tianai was immediately moved and fell in love with this man even more. She called out softly and kissed him actively.

Cao Yu didn't stop him and was kissed forcefully, but it felt pretty good.

When the two of them separated, Zhang Tianyi's eyes were filled with water: "Brother, take me."

"Forget it for today, I have something else to do next time."

Later, Cao Yu will discuss important matters with Guo Fan and contact Liu Yifei to finalize Dong Jie's role.

"that night"

"It depends."

Cao Yu has made an appointment with Xu Jing tonight and cannot accompany this girl.

"Ok."

Zhang Tianai got up from Cao Yu in disappointment, and then said: "Brother, I will be very obedient."

"I know, go ahead, I have to work."

"Ah."

After Zhang Tianai left, Cao Yu called the screenwriting department and asked about the script of "Laughing in the River". He heard that it had been written, so he asked the other party to send it over.

After a brief glance, I found that the plot of this script is different from the original movie. The plot of turning Wu Di into paper has been changed, and the final battle is more exciting and reasonable.

I sent the script to Uncle Benshan and called him again.

"Brother Benshan, I have sent you the script of "Laughing in the River". Take a look at it. I plan to let Ning Hao direct it. How about it?"

"sure."

Several of Ning Hao's comedies have become hits, and Uncle Benshan is still very relieved.

"But don't hire that Zeng Chaizi. Let Huang Bo play the second male lead, and I'll give our company Zhang Tiannai the female lead."

"It will be all right."

Uncle Benshan agreed and said with a smile: "Then we will start preparations and start shooting in May."

"Row."

After making the phone call, the project is finalized.

Afterwards, Cao Yu contacted Liu Yifei and asked her to ask about Dong Jie's situation.

Not long after, Dong Jie called back.

"Mr. Cao, I don't have any film appointments recently. Thank you for helping me arrange roles. To express my gratitude, I would like to treat you to dinner."

Dong Jie's resources have not been very good since he got married, so he wanted to take this opportunity to make friends with Cao Yu.

Cao Yu did not agree to Bai Lianhua's invitation: "Forget it, just contact our producer Mr. Cai."

Although some people have said that making money is to treat female celebrities to dinner. Although you don't have to invite them, there are many female celebrities who are willing to have dinner with them, but not everyone can have dinner with them.

"Then thank you, Mr. Cao."

Dong Jie's voice was obviously a little disappointed, but he didn't dare to force it.

"Sissi, I am here for you, otherwise I would be too lazy to care about this blind White Lotus. Haha, find an ugly man and falsely accuse her husband. Such a person."

After hanging up the phone, Cao Yu muttered to himself for a while in the office, but felt that Dong Jie was actually quite suitable for the second female lead in "The Princess".

At least the characters are similar, they are all shameless women.

After lunch, two Nortel alumni, Guo Fan and Zhang Fanfan, came to Feiyu Entertainment together.

The two heard that they were going to shoot a science fiction film with a famous international director, and they agreed without saying a word.

This is something that will go down in Chinese film history, even if it doesn’t require a paycheck.

Moreover, Zhang Fanfan has always wanted to develop in science fiction films. Boss Cao gave himself a huge opportunity.

However, Cao Yu asked the two of them to sign with Feiyu Entertainment and become the company's royal directors. The two of them agreed without hesitation.

Becoming Feiyu's director means that there will definitely be more opportunities in the future. If you hesitate, wouldn't you be a fool?
In the evening, Cao Yu met Xu Qing. While reminiscing about old friendships, he planned to put her in charge of a variety show called "I Am an Actor" produced by Fei'e Video.

Now that Fei'e Video has money, this variety show will definitely become popular. Cao Yu no longer needs to cooperate with other TV stations and can do it himself. This can be considered an attempt.

The variety show "I Am a Singer" has cooperated with Mango Channel. The first season was not very influential, but its reputation was quite good.

The second quarter of this year will start in the summer, and preparations have already begun.

As for other variety shows such as "The King of Masked Singer," "Where Are We Going, Dad?" There's enough time.

Currently, "The Voice of China" and "If You Are the One" co-produced by Feiyu and Lychee TV are still popular, bringing hundreds of millions of profits to the company every year.

"Running Man" co-produced with Tomato Channel also received good ratings and made Yang Ying famous.

"Invincible Youth" and "I Am a Singer" co-operated with Mango Channel are also Feiyu Entertainment's most important money-making machines.

"It would be strange for a girl who has these resources and wants to become famous not to pounce on her."

On the bed, Cao Yu hugged Xu Qing's soft eyes and thought about the variety show in his mind.

This year, the film and television sector has almost started to take off. If we want Fei'e Video's stock price to rise again, variety shows are a key part.

"On New Year's Day this year, let's just have a New Year's Eve party. But will Mango Channel be unhappy if it finds out?"

"ignore him!"

Just as Cao Yu was thinking about it, Xu Qing in his arms opened his eyes, touched his younger brother's cheek, and said with a smile: "My dear, what are you thinking about?"

Cao Yu smiled and said, "I'm thinking about who you plan to invite to be a guest in this variety show."

"Leave it to me, I will take care of it."

Xu Qing didn't want to talk about it now: "It's almost eleven o'clock, hold me and go to bed early."

"Let's talk first"

Cao Yu got into bed, caressed his charming buttocks, and said with a smile: "I know there are many connections in the circle, but I still want to know."

"I would like to invite International Zhang, Zhang Guoli, Zhou Xun, and me."

"Forget about the international seal, his splashing scandal was finished last year, Zhang Guoli."

Zhang Guoli is a shareholder of Huayi, but Cao Yu hesitated and felt that his acting skills were fine. He smiled and said: "Both he and Zhou Xun can do it. If we invite Li Chengru to be a guest commentator, it will probably be very topical by then."

Xu Jing asked: "You don't like the International Chapter?"

"I don't like it very much."

Cao Yu smiled and said: "We must adhere to one principle when inviting guests this time. We must not ask for leave from foreigners. Young actors must also have similar acting skills."

"Okay, it's all up to you. I'll give you an answer after I think about it."

Xu Jing squeezed into Cao Yu's arms and said in a tired voice: "Go to sleep."

"But I want to bully you again."

"Why don't you know you're tired?"

"My sister is so charming."

……

In the next few days, Cao Yu finalized the actors for "Things About Couples" and was busy supervising the company's "Gravity" crew. At the same time, he asked employees with variety show experience to cooperate with Xu Jing in preparing the "I Am an Actor" variety show.

At this time, the group-buying market was already in turmoil, and the money-burning war on various platforms was intensifying.

Hangcheng.

“Increase capital investment and kill Meituan as soon as possible!”

Ma Yun had already received news from Wang Zhongjun that Cao Yu was busy with several film and television dramas and could not spare any time. He immediately issued orders to his employees and allocated 200 million in funds.

After the video website went public, the stock price has been poor. While he urged Jin Yingmin to create a boy band as soon as possible, he also wanted to start a group buying website.

If you can defeat Cao Yu on the group buying website, you can also defeat the opponent.

At the same time, he also contacted group buying platforms such as Youtuan and Lashou.com, planning to jointly encircle and suppress Meituan.

Now Youtuan has also entered the second-tier market and invested a lot of money. Lashou.com has almost occupied the Yanjing market.

Many platforms even offer a meal for eight yuan, which makes Meituan, which relies on word-of-mouth, unable to stand it.

Yanjing.

As soon as Cao Yu signed a joint production agreement with China Film Group and asked James to send an email asking him to come to China as soon as possible, Cai Chongxin called.

"Mr. Cao, we must take action. Meituan's market is getting smaller and smaller. If this continues, our market share may be completely eaten up within three months."

Cai Chongxin's tone on the phone was anxious.

While others are burning money to engage in price wars, he also plans to burn money. The company is not short of money, so why is the boss always reluctant to part with it?
"I can still hold on for three months, so I'm doing a good job."

Cao Yu chuckled and asked, "How is the training of delivery personnel?"

"That's almost it. We have now hired a total of 10,000 delivery people. However, our market has been compressed and these people have to be supported. Not to mention the waste of funds, they have nothing to do. Now people here at Meituan are panicking."

Cai Chongxin is really anxious this time. He is actually very optimistic about the Meituan project, but now the market share has shrunk by nearly half compared to when it started.

Cao Yu thought for a while and said: "I will approve 100 million funds in a while, half of which will be used for personnel training, and it will be used for another two months. You can try to burn the remaining half, and the current market will be stabilized."

"One hundred million?"

When Cai Chongxin heard this number, he was a little surprised.

Others burn money, investing hundreds of millions a month, but I only invest 50 million in two months?

Are you playing with me?
"As long as you can withstand it, just wait."

Cao Yu is still not in a hurry. He is waiting for an opportunity, waiting for others to burn almost all their funds, and then directly kicks all competitors out at once!

When Cai Chongxin was about to say goodbye, Cao Yu continued: "By the way, you ask the local promoters to start talking to small and medium-sized restaurants with good reputations in the third tier and above to sign cooperation agreements."

"Small and medium-sized restaurants? Do we want to use small restaurants to defeat those big merchants?"

Cai Chongxin was even more confused. "Listen to me, you will know when the time comes."

"Ok."

Cai Chongxin had no choice but to nod in agreement.

But he didn't understand, what was the boss waiting for? What's the plan?
Monday, April 5th.

At the Huanyu Golf Course, several people were sitting together, looking at the trees sprouting buds. The scene looked quite warm, but in fact, everyone felt a little uneasy.

They were summoned by Boss Cao this time, and they didn't know what the result would be.

Everyone drank tea for a while, and Boss Cao, who was not far away, knocked a golf ball away and then sat down.

"The weather is really nice today."

He glanced around at the heads of Sohu Video, LeTV Video, Youku, Liujianfang, and Kuliu who had arrived on time, and said with a smile: "It seems that the bosses of Tudou, PPS, and PPTV are not coming. "

"If you don't come, we won't come. We'll do it ourselves!"

Gu Yongqiang knows very well that he will definitely not be able to do Fei Ge Video on Youku.

But if I can form an alliance with Boss Cao and defeat the potatoes, I still have the ambition to become the second in the market.

"Yes, don't wait for them."

Jia Yueting from LeTV looked at his watch. It was already half past two and nodded.

"Okay, let's get started."

Cao Yu said, asking his secretary to take out a document, and then smiled: "I told you last time at the New York Stock Exchange that I planned to establish an anti-piracy association to crack down on domestic pirated video websites."

He paused and continued: "The country also has policies to start restricting piracy. I think video websites will undergo a major reshuffle in the next two years, so we must take the lead in taking action."

"We understand this policy."

Everyone nodded. They knew about this policy, but generally no one pursued it, and no one cared about piracy or not.

Just make money.

"PPS and PPTV started out as piracy. They are the biggest rivals of our platforms. Since they won't come"

Cao Yu looked at everyone and said: "After our association is established, we will kill them both first. Then you can see if those videos on Tudou have infringed on your copyright. We will jointly sue him and then divide the market!"

"Mr. Cao is right!"

When they heard about carving up the market, everyone immediately became interested.

"However, within our association, we must also self-examine the pirated videos on the platform and remove them as soon as possible. If you want to continue playing, use money to buy them! And they can only be purchased on the internal platform of the association. None of them can be sold outside the association. !”

After Cao Yu finished speaking, he looked at everyone: "I've said what I mean. Which of you agrees? Who opposes?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately fell silent.

Except for Fei'e Video and LeTV, which have the online broadcast rights of a number of genuine film and television works, others present basically do not have many genuine resources.

In particular, many excellent films by Zhou Xingchi and Cheng Long, as well as my country's excellent animations, are all controlled by Fei'e Video.

If they really want to follow what Cao Yu said and want to broadcast all genuine movies and TV series, they still don’t know how much it will cost?

"CEO Cao."

The owner of Liujianfang was the first to stand up and said: "We don't have many copyrights. I think everyone should share it when they join the association."

"What? Sharing?"

Cao Yu smiled coldly: "You want to have sex for free? Sorry, the association didn't say that. We are against piracy. What's the point of countering if we share it?"

Boss Cao now wants to produce a large number of film and television works, and has also started to produce variety shows. Now he must suppress piracy.

"I think Mr. Cao is right, it should be like this."

Sure enough, LeTV’s Jia Yueting immediately came out to agree with Cao Yu’s point of view.

"Okay, I think Mr. Cao is far-sighted. This is the only way we can make the video and film and television industries develop better. If you don't want to, you can sell the company to me!"

Zhang Chaoyang, the boss of Sohu, immediately agreed.

It mainly reminds me that the boss Cao in front of me said at the West Lake Sword Discussion five years ago that he would charge for broadcasting.

Now it seems that Cao Yu's eyes are vicious.

In addition, the two bosses of Liujianfang and Kuliu were searched by himself, so he also had to attack the two platforms.

As for Zhou Juan, the CEO of Fei'e Video, although she also came from Sohu, this woman is now on Boss Cao's lap and is already on an equal footing with herself.

Youku's Gu Yongqiang pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "I accept Mr. Cao's proposal."

"What do you two think?"

Now, three of the five have agreed. Cao Yu looked at the two bosses of Liujianfang and Kuliu and asked with a smile.

"us."

The two looked at each other, hesitated, and said, "We still feel that since we have joined the association, we should share resources."

"Haha, if you don't have money, I have a suggestion, you might as well sell the company."

Seeing that the two of them still wanted to have sex for free, Cao Yu gave them the best advice.

"Is this the reason why Boss Cao invited us here? He finally found out."

When Gu Yongqiang, Zhang Chaoyang and others heard this, they were startled and finally understood Cao Yu's intention. He really wanted to shake up the video website.

Cao Yu still had a smile on his face, but everyone could see that this man was really ambitious.

"Mr. Cao, is there really no other way?"

"No, if you don't agree, you won't be able to join the association. Please think about it."

The two of them looked at the big brother of the video website in front of them for a while, and Kuliu finally asked: "Mr. Cao, are you going to buy it?"

"I don't buy it, there's no need."

Buying a video website would cost at least 300 million yuan, but Cao Yu felt that it was not worth spending the money.

With this kind of money, it would be more practical to buy some film and television rights.

But Sohu became interested and asked: "How about I buy you for 300 million?"

"Five billion"

"Three hundred and fifty million"

The two actually started bargaining face to face.

Finally, Cao Yu said: "Let's compromise."

Boss Cao spoke, the two thought about it, made a decision on the spot, and reached the deal.

The owner of the six rooms stood up and said: "I don't plan to sell. Since Boss Cao doesn't welcome me, then I'll leave."

"No delivery!"

Cao Yu said lightly and watched Liu Yan, the owner of Six Rooms, throw up his sleeves and leave.

Everyone looked at the man who still wanted to persevere and sighed, wondering what would happen to him under the blow of Fei Ge Video.

However, Cao Yu knew that if Liujianfang, a video platform, is not for sale now, it will be sold sooner or later.

After taking a look at the remaining people, he smiled and said: "We are the only ones left now, so you can read the agreement again, then sign it, and then elect the president."

"Do you still need to choose? Of course Mr. Cao will be the president."

Zhang Chaoyang was the first to come out to support Cao Yu.

"Of course, in the video website circle, who has more influence than Mr. Cao."

Others echoed.

The agreement was signed like this. Cao Yu looked at the signatures of several people and said with a smile: "Although our association is a non-governmental organization, our purpose is the same, which is to combat all piracy."

As he spoke, he began to assign tasks: "After the holiday, LeTV and Sohu will sue Tudou first, I will sue PPS, PPTV, and Youku will sue Liujianfang."

"can."

"When the first phase of the task is completed, we will sue Xunlei together!"

"Yes! This must be prosecuted! President Yingming!"

Speaking of Xunlei, LeTV is like an enemy. Xunlei is so bad. Because of him, online piracy is rampant.

"Also, within the association, I can share the barrage technology with everyone. Five million a year is enough to authorize it. Other platforms will no longer authorize it no matter how much it is given."

"There are actually benefits."

Everyone was happy. The original barrage license had increased to 15 million a year, and now it was 5 million. This saved a lot of money.

It seems that Boss Cao is targeting Ahri’s Mr. Ma.

After the Qingming Festival holiday, a big news appeared on Weibo and other online media.

LeTV and Sohu first sued Tudou Video for broadcasting their film and television works without permission, seeking compensation of RMB 150 million.

On the same day, Fei'e Video sued PPS and PPTV for broadcasting its works without authorization, claiming 200 million each. It even filed a lawsuit against Coca-Cola, the advertising company that inserted it, saying that they profited from the promotion of their works, and directly claimed 300 million.

The next day, Youku sued Liujianfang.
Suddenly, the lawsuit war between video websites began.

Hangcheng.

Ma Yun was still proud of her success in taking over several big cities such as Shancheng and Jinmen, when suddenly her secretary sent two prosecution documents.

"Cao Yu is serious?"

Ma Yun wants to scold the public. The stock price of Tudou Video has just stabilized in the past two days. Cao Cao is doing this again?
He checked the news and found that Fei Ge Video was suing PPS and them.

Ma Yun immediately called the two companies: "We must form an alliance, otherwise we will not be able to defeat Cao Yu."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ma. We have already agreed with Mr. Cao that we will officially join Fei'e Video in a few days."

During the phone call, the responses from the two bosses of PPS and PPTV were surprisingly consistent, and some even sounded a little excited.

They can't afford a 200 million lawsuit. They should admit defeat as soon as possible to save themselves the embarrassment.

"Grass!"

Ma Yun immediately wanted to turn the table over.

He also wanted to acquire them, but Cao Yu beat him to it again.

"Since Yu is born, how can Liang be born?"

Ma Yun leaned weakly on the chair.

I accidentally became a loner
