Chapter 813 Pirated goods to make money!
Nobel has made a romance film, a war film, and a zombie film since the New Year.
With these wilderness survival variety shows, he has accumulated a lot of experience.
Nobel felt extremely lonely at the time. All his years of experience were actually denied by Chu Hang.
Zhang Wei patted his chest and said to Nobel, "Forget it, you old man, you should trust our boss. Our boss has been investing for so many years, there is nothing he doesn't know.
You know, I tell you, now he says that slum survival can make money, so why don’t you just shoot it.
Also, you are only responsible for directing, don't worry about so many commercial matters, we will pay you and you just do your job honestly, or don't interfere, and start shooting tomorrow, what do you think?"
Zhang Wei is a very extreme person. People have just met, but he asked them to start filming tomorrow. In fact, this is not very reliable in the eyes of many people.
Moreover, all the business investors that Nobel had met before were observed by him for a week, because he didn't know whether those investors would run away with the money.
Just after investing money and getting the first wave of funds, the whole person disappeared without a trace.
Then the entire crew was left standing there in confusion, unable to shut down the camera and stop filming, and without the financial support to continue filming, which put Nobel in an extremely dilemma.
Chu Hang saw what Nobel was worried about.
Chu Hang took out a check from his bag and said to the other party, "Come here, look at what this is. There are three hundred million in it. You can use it as the money for the filming of this slum survival story.
But I don’t care how much money you spend, you have to make this thing profitable. Slumdog Survival must make more money than other variety shows, otherwise forget it.”
Chu Hang's order really stumped Director Nobel. Over the years, he had invested in countless movies and variety shows.
No matter how rich his inspiration or how lucky he is, it is impossible for him to say that every movie he invests in will be able to make a lot of money, but Chu Hang gave him this task, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Mr. Chu Hang, I don't feel that I can control the current market situation. Mr. Chu Hang knows that many third-rate directors have come to share a piece of the pie with us.
The reason we are able to survive is because our talents are still there.
Moreover, the current market fluctuations are very large, the competition in this industry is also very fierce, and there is a lot of piracy. For example, there are 700 to 800 variety shows such as "Man vs. Wild".
Moreover, they were shot by different companies and different directors. If I am not mistaken, once this slum survival series is broadcast, other companies will immediately start pirating it.
Our losses at that time cannot be described in words. And I have been in this industry for so many years, I know how difficult it is.
Finally, I want to say that I will do my best to help Mr. Chu Hang shoot this variety show, and I will never be stingy with my talents.
Really, Mr. Chu Hang, you have always been my most respected investor. I have wanted to work with you since the year I first entered the film industry, but there has never been this opportunity and there is no other way.
So now I am able to cooperate with you, I think it is a great honor for me, Mr. Chu Hang."
Chu Hang was inexplicably licked by Director Nobel for a long time. He felt a little uncomfortable. He always respected talented people, but he didn't expect that this seemingly talented person had lost his own personality.
Zhang Wei said: "Don't worry, no matter who pirates our products, we will fight them back. Our lawyers are not pushovers."
Zhang Wei probably said these words because he had not been attacked by those pirated companies.
Nobel said to Zhang Wei helplessly: "Mr. Zhang Wei, if it is that easy to combat piracy, then we wouldn't have to hide our copyrights all these years, right?
Besides, many companies nowadays are taking advantage of legal loopholes. They will use their own special means to turn you from a plaintiff into a defendant, and then you will be in trouble.
And don't underestimate those small companies, they are like ants and seem easy to bully. But once they become aggressive, I tell you, they are like an army of thousands.
At that time, several TV series and movies under my management were also fooled in this way. I also thought about seeking legal help, but was it useful? It was useless. In the end, it was just deceiving myself.
Our company not only failed to get proper compensation, but also lost a large part of its funds, so Brother Zhang Wei should just forget about it now."
Zhang Wei said with a grin, "It's obvious that this old man doesn't understand our company's legal team. As long as our lawyers are willing, even the judge can be put in the cell.
Moreover, the lawyers in our company are all selected from the best law school students. If we invite them, the monthly salary will be as high as about 500,000 yuan, and this is the price for fresh graduates.
The longer they work and the more experience they gain, the higher their salary will be. This is unthinkable."
Chu Hang said to Zhang Wei, "Alright, alright, don't bring up our company's legal team everywhere you go. What if you scare others? You should be low-key when you should.
The group of lawyers in our company have not had anything to do for a long time. Every day they either drink tea or pour water in the office, or watch TV series and play games.
Because we have defeated all the opponents we could defeat before, and now no opponent dares to continue to complain to us."
To be precise, what Chu Hang said was equivalent to Versailles. He understood that those people didn't dare to touch his things at all.
Chu Hang has filmed several variety shows before, and some small companies have been imitating and pirating them in secret in order to make a profit.
In the end, he was defeated by the legal team leader of Chu Hang's company.
This situation is not a joke, but comes from actual situation.
