1109. You have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder
"We're here, I'm invited everyone to gather together this time. I think everyone has guessed the reason?" Lin Husheng said with a smile.
Tang Mingkai and others nodded.
President Du and President Chen also smiled.
Obviously, everyone knows why this gathering of giants in the film and television industry is for.
"Is it about overseas copyright operation?" Mr. Du said first.
Lin Husheng sighed in his heart.
Sure enough, Qi Dongming should have convinced President Du and President Chen to be the lobbyists.
However, Lin Husheng nodded with a smile on his face.
"Yes, it's just about the overseas copyright operation!" Lin Husheng said.
"It's a good thing to be able to sell domestic movies abroad. One or two movies may not have much impact, but with too many quantities, quantitative changes will cause qualitative changes, so there is still a lot to do." Du Jianguo said with a smile.
This is a tone.
In fact, this matter is indeed enough to make Du Jianguo pay attention to it.
Why?
Because, for China, from a national perspective, if the copyright operates well, then what is this? This is cultural output.
So, in this regard, Huaying definitely supports Ali.
Or it supports the centralized operation of copyright.
Because of this kind of thing, if Huaying takes the lead, it is actually not good, because Huaying represents the official position after all, and is too sensitive.
If it is a private company that operates, it will be different. It is a completely commercial act.
And Ali Media is ambitious and does have such strength. After all, tens of billions are spent, right?
"Ali seems to have been doing this recently. How far has it been?" Du Jianguo asked Qi Dongming with a smile.
"At present, our Ali Media has acquired the overseas copyrights of more than 2,000 Chinese-language movies, but this is far from enough. At present, the most remaining film library copyrights are in the hands of everyone present."
"Maybe many people have misunderstandings about us Ali, thinking that we Ali like to be the overlords of the industry, but in fact, we are really wronged in this regard!" Qi Dongming said.
Tang Mingkai and others remained calm and just looked at Qi Dongming.
Qi Dongming didn't care about it and continued: "Actually, this time we are engaged in centralized copyright operation. To be honest, it is not for profit. With the acquisition price we offer, to be honest, can we recover the cost in ten or twenty years? It's very difficult, it's really difficult!"
"Our purpose is to use the power of the cluster to open an offline channel that belongs to our Chinese-language movies so that our movies can truly go out."
I have to say that Qi Dongming's words are still very real, at least most of them are more realistic.
According to Ali Media's work, it is indeed difficult to recover the cost in a short time by relying on the overseas copyright of these Chinese-language movies.
From an investment perspective, this is indeed not a good business.
Because of the large investment, the investment return cycle is long.
And full of uncertainty.
From a financial perspective, Ah Li is really like doing charity!
Many people may think that domestic Internet video websites have bought the online broadcast rights of Hollywood films and TV series and movies, and the transaction amount is billions.
So does it mean that the overseas copyright of these film and television dramas and film and television works is indeed very valuable?
The answer is no!
First of all, we must know that the overseas copyrights of these film and television works acquired by Ali do not include those movies that have been sold in recent years.
Because of these big-selling movies, the giants didn't think that they could sell their overseas copyrights.
Secondly, take North America as an example. In fact, their attitude towards foreign film and television works is completely different from that of domestic foreign film and television works.
Of course, it may reach that level one day, but at least it will be difficult in the short term.
Therefore, the price of Ali Media’s acquisition of copyright is indeed good.
So why are people still so hesitant?
Lin Husheng smiled and said, "Mr. Qi said it very well. However, our companies have the responsibility to let our domestic movies go abroad. How can we let Ali and his family bear this responsibility alone?"
"Are you all right? As a film and television company in China, we naturally have the responsibility to contribute our own strength."
"So, I have a suggestion here! You might as well listen!" Lin Husheng said with a smile.
Qi Dongming felt a sudden slap in his heart, and it was indeed here.
"The centralized operation of copyright can indeed produce qualitative changes from quantitative change. With the cluster effect of our Chinese film and television works, it is indeed easier to get it than to fight alone, and it is easier to open a stable offline channel."
"But, I think everyone will definitely hesitate whether to sell the copyright we have accumulated for many years at one time. After all, this is a one-time transaction. If it is sold, it will be difficult to buy it back."
"So, why don't we choose a compromise method, such as a combination of our companies to form a copyright operation company. We don't need to inject copyright, we only need each company to sign an authorization contract, sign it every year or every three years, and every five years. In this way, even if we change our minds at that time, we can automatically terminate the contract after the contract expires and let the copyright return to the company."
"At the same time, this also has the advantage, that is, it can minimize the impact of overseas copyright operation companies on the country."
"If a company monopolizes these copyrights, it is equivalent to monopolizing a channel. Then, can they directly cooperate with each other? For example, hand over the domestic issuance rights to them?" Lin Husheng's words made everyone's eyes lit up.
Du Jianguo frowned slightly at first, and then unfolded again.
In particular, Lin Husheng pointed out the concern that one person has the dominant one, that is, monopoly, even if it is monopoly overseas channels, it is also monopoly.
Because it is difficult to open and maintain overseas channels, but if there is a cluster effect, then it is not a problem to open up and maintain a stable overseas issuance channel.
At this time, if the people who have mastered the company's channel have the same distribution channel in China, then they can be fully tied up.
In this way, the opponent's advantage will be greatly increased.
However, other companies have far less advantage.
"Of course, in this way, it is indeed difficult to make quick money, but you can use this overseas offline distribution channel together. I think it will be possible to see the results soon. What do you think?" Lin Husheng said in a deep thought.
Yes, this channel has been developed successfully, so what is really valuable is not the benefits of these copyright operations, but the benefits of new movies in the future.
You should know that the past domestic blockbusters did not mean that they were not sold in Europe and the United States, but most of the time, whether they were sold well or not actually had nothing to do with domestic companies.
Because you don’t get much money online, and offline channels are controlled by others.
So even if this channel is not that powerful, it can definitely provide considerable convenience for domestic blockbusters!
