Chapter 377

"I want to build an online movie and video website!" Jia Yapeng thought for a moment, and then gave a specious answer.

"Online movie and video website? What is this?" the wrinkles on Zou wenhuai's face crowded together.

Online movie and video website, this is a name Zou wenhuai has never heard of or heard of.

Although Hong Kong already has a network in this era, it is still completely unfamiliar to websites, such as Zou wenhuai, who is in his 60s.

In fact, in this era, you randomly find 100 people in any country in the world. I'm afraid there are no more than three people who know what the website is.

"It's a website that plays movies and videos online. Anyone can watch movies and videos through the Internet. Of course, it needs the permission of copyright!" Jia Yapeng laughed.

"The Internet is the thing that keeps buzzing like a cat's bark and has to wait for dozens of seconds to display a picture?" old man Zou wenhuai was exposed to the Internet.

In fact, Hong Kong and Hong Kong were connected to the Internet for the first time in 92. It seems that Mr. Zou is very fashionable. He knows cats.

"Something like that? You can watch movies?" Zou wenhuai shook his head and wondered if Jia Yapeng's head was funny. He actually had such a whimsical idea.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Zou wenhuai's idea. In this age, whether young or middle-aged, I'm afraid it's the same idea as Zou wenhuai.

Because this year's Internet speed is hundreds of times slower than snails and turtles.

In this era, there is no special network cable, let alone optical fiber. If you want to surf the Internet, you can only use the telephone line.

Of course, the telephone line can not directly access the Internet. The telephone line should be externally connected to a cat called a modem.

However, the cat in '93 is completely different from the cat now. The cat in' 93 is not silent, but will continue to make a hissing sound like a cat's bark. The sound is so loud that even the next room can hear it clearly.

Otherwise, why is the nickname of the modem called a cat!

So in those days, it was impossible for you to secretly surf the Internet at home, because as long as you listen to the voice, your family can catch you.

It's OK to make harsh cat calls. What's more, the Internet speed in 1993 is simply indescribable.

In terms of specific data, the network speed of Hong Kong in 1993 was about 20b per second.

In 2020, the size of an ordinary picture is about 3MB, 1MB is about 1000KB, and 1KB is about 1000B. I believe you can understand how painful the Internet speed was at that time.

So when Zou wenhuai learned that Jia Yapeng actually planned to build a video website, he completely doubted whether Jia Yapeng was crazy.

"I think this dream will come true in about 10 years!" Jia Yapeng said with a smile.

"More than ten years? I don't think I can do it for hundreds of years!" if Zou wenhuai shakes his head, the young man is still a little too young and boastful after all.

In fact, this is why Jia Yapeng took this as a reason to say, because no one will believe what Jia Yapeng said. Although Jia Yapeng said the truth, he is already preparing for the future video website.

"10 million! We have the copyright of 448 Jiahe films, all packaged and sold to you!" Zou wenhuai thought about it and offered his own price.

"Is it the copyright of the film?" Jia Yapeng asked immediately.

"It's all copyright except the video copyright and sequel copyright!" Zou wenhuai said and looked at Jia Yapeng.

To be honest, Zou wenhuai thinks the price is too high. After all, for a film that has passed its release period and freshness, the only remaining source of income is making sequels and selling genuine videotapes.

Once these two rights are taken away, let alone 448 films, even 4448 films, it may not bring a profit of HK $10 million in 10 years!

"The price is a little high!" Jia Yapeng shook his head, pondered for a while, and then asked, "is it lifelong copyright?"

"Yes!" Zou wenhuai nodded.

"Then I have another condition, that is, for all the film copyrights of Jiahe in the future, I also want to sell me the preemptive right of all copyrights except the video right and sequel right at the price of 30000!" Jia Yapeng said.

"Yes!" Zou wenhuai resolutely agreed, which is equivalent to making 30000 yuan for each film in the future. Zou wenhuai has no reason not to agree.

"OK!" boss Jia finally nodded and agreed. When Zou wenhuai felt that it was a little untrue, the two sides signed a copyright agreement and handed over all the videos in stock to Jia Yapeng.

Then boss Jia visited Shao brothers film industry and a series of film companies, and put forward his own requirements, that is, according to the different film quality and the price ranging from 1000 to 30000, to purchase all the lifetime copyright of these films except the sequel right and video tape copyright.

Even the films that have not yet been born in the future have signed an agreement to buy them.

When these enterprises heard boss Jia's request, they were extremely shocked and then very happy.

Jia Yapeng's request is like money for nothing to them.

Putting the copyright of these films in the company will not bring any profit. Now it is a good thing to pick up tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars for nothing.

Of course, not without hostages, I doubt boss Jia. I think Jia Yapeng is not a fool. These copyrights must be reused. But the problem is that although they can see the problem, they can't see what the problem is.

On the other side, there is a naked temptation of real gold and silver, so even the smartest people can hardly resist. Finally, they all obediently sold the copyright to boss Jia.

In this way, except for a few Hong Kong films whose copyrights are difficult to find, or even the videotapes have been completely destroyed, the lifetime film copyrights of more than 4000 Hong Kong films fell into the hands of boss Jia, and finally spent about HK $60 million left and right.

Moreover, all the film copyrights that have not yet been generated in the next 30 years will be sold to Jia Yapeng by these film companies.

Shao's film also sold a large number of TV drama copyrights to Jia Yapeng, including 87 version of God carving heroes, Shanghai beach, Liang Chaowei's version of Lu Ding Ji and so on, even in later generations.

However, because there are too many TV dramas, boss Jia no longer takes all the TV dramas according to the order, but buys back the copyright of a carefully selected part of the TV dramas, which is basically equivalent to buying out the TV copyright of the whole TVB.

Similarly, TVB should not sell all TV copyrights in the next 30 years to boss Jia in advance.

At first, everyone was happy, but after 2000, with the complete prosperity of the Internet and DVD market, these film companies gradually realized what a stupid agreement they had signed.

Those film companies are fine. As long as they close down the old company and set up a new film company, they can get rid of the shackles of this agreement.

But TVB is not so lucky, because TVB can't go bankrupt, otherwise their TV license will be fine, and all kinds of brand values they have accumulated for a long time will be gone.

TVB can only bear it

So TVB, who has always been used to cutting meat from actors, was severely cut by boss Jia.
