Is this cartoonist mentally ill?

"We seem to be blocked by our peers."

Gu Qianli suddenly said at a loss, "Youdou.com seems to have used their resources to make all the animation companies in the industry refuse to cooperate with us. We don't know exactly what means the other party used. I plan to go back." Have a meeting to find out what’s going on.”

"Ah? Are you banned by your peers?"

Lin Qingshan blinked and said, "Can such a thing happen?"

He was a little confused, mainly because he didn't know much about these things in his previous life.

In fact, it is normal for peers to block peers.

To be precise, this should be regarded as industry competition. On the one hand, you use your own power and resources to block all business activities of your opponents.

It's just that compared to the current C station, Youdou.com is an absolute behemoth.

It's like the industry bosses are directly blocking them.

"Well... there is a high probability that the other party has talked to the animation company that is still cooperating, or bought out the copyright of the company's related animations at a higher price."

Gu Qianli said guessing at this time.

Lin Qingshan immediately understood that it was equivalent to signing an exclusive contract at a high price.

Just like the music software of the Penguin series in the previous life directly signed all the music exclusives of Zhou Tianwang, the only music software on the market that can compete with it, Mouyun, requires sub-licensing from the Penguin series.

However, since the renewal of the contract was not reached, Mouyun could no longer listen to Zhou Tianwang’s songs on it.

Youdou.com is playing a similar trick, but they are obviously more domineering and want to completely wipe out Station C.

"What I'm most afraid of is the copyrights for the next few new series we are going to discuss..."

Gu Qianli said hesitantly again.

In fact, if users of the website were to submit private contributions without being discovered, Station C would be fine even if they introduced new programs or not.

Now since Station C has begun to expand, and after all, it is a website based on ACG culture.

In a word, you can’t watch new episodes here, so why should I watch your website?

Although the various submissions from other UPs are also very attractive.

But the most important thing is the drama.

Fan dramas are the biggest source of traffic, especially new ones.

New programs are generally the biggest source of popularity at present. It can be said that the introduction of "Edge Walker" and "Chainsaw Man" has attracted much popularity, audiences and new users.

You can see clearly from the backstage of station C.

Originally, Gu Qianli planned to seamlessly introduce several new shows that had good pre-heating after the completion of "Chainsaw Man" to continue to maintain the popularity of "Chainsaw Man".

She has also approved a lot of funds for this. It can be said that all the recent new round of investment funds have been invested in this.

Now I am afraid that the company to which these new series will follow will also be forcibly monopolized by Youdou.com at a high price.

"emmmmmmm... Then Qianli and I will go to a meeting to see what's going on."

Lin Qingshan thought for a while and then said.

"good."

Gu Qianli did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

The two of them went downstairs, and Lin Qingshan drove Gu Qianli for a ride.

Gu Qianli initially regretted watching Lin Qingshan drive the car, but she was still thinking about driving it herself.

Although her driving skills are not good, but... she drives very safely.

However, she finally took the car driven by Lin Qingshan and arrived at the studio safely.

In fact, with the size of Station C, we can expand from the scale of a studio to a larger one, since it is already a company anyway.

However, Gu Qianli did not expand mindlessly based on the idea of ​​​​"province should be saved and flowers should be spent".

At present, although Gu Hongxiao and Weng Shengxue’s Qiandu Company has also invested a lot in Station C, it holds a fairly high shareholding.

However, the main funds of station C are not spent freely. When he is short of money, Gu Qianli shouts "Dad! Mom! Give me money", and Qiandu Company will give him the money.

It’s time for Station C to become self-financing.

Lin Qingshan parked the car and followed Gu Qianli to the studio. This was not the first time for the studio employees to see Lin Qingshan, so they would not be curious or anything.

Even though everyone was a little surprised, why did Boss Gu's "boyfriend" suddenly come over?

This is a rare thing.

"Zhiqiu, call Senior Brother Yan, Senior Brother Chen, and several supervisors from various departments to come to the conference room for a meeting."

Gu Qianli skillfully gave orders and said.

Station C has also experienced a wave of expansion. Except for Li Zhiqiu and Yang Zhihan who were recruited by Gu Qianli to start a business, they are just a few seniors. Almost everyone in their original team is a senior executive.

There are also several talents recruited from outside to serve as heads of departments that were added later.

"I have notified everyone, they will be here soon."

Li Zhiqiu said immediately.

As soon as he finished speaking, almost eleven people, including Li Zhiqiu and Yang Zhihan, all appeared in front of Gu Qianli and Lin Qingshan.

"Meeting."

Gu Qianli walked into the conference room first and said.

Lin Qingshan immediately followed, followed by the current eleven executives of Station C.

The conference room here is quite large. Although it is a little crowded, it is just a small studio after all, but thirteen people can barely sit down.

Lin Qingshan sat on the right hand side of Gu Qianli's seat.

"Zhiqiu, what's the current situation?"

Gu Qianli asked directly as soon as everyone sat down.

"Let's let the animation department and Sister Qi from the legal department tell you directly."

Li Zhiqiu said quickly.

Immediately, Zhang Xingwen, the head of the animation department, stood up and said, "We were originally negotiating with Hegemony and Bones to purchase the copyrights of some dramas. We had initially reached an agreement, but when we talk today, they... Suddenly refused to cooperate with us..."

Chen Wenqi, head of the legal department, also stood up and said, "Also at noon today, our company suddenly received letters from lawyers from the copyright companies of some old dramas and Youdou.com, saying that we had infringed on their rights and asked us to remove them immediately. All relevant articles on the site, otherwise we will be sued..."

Although a lawyer's letter is generally just a warning and has no legal effect.

But what can be expected is that if Station C really doesn’t take this lawyer’s letter seriously, the other party will definitely sue.

If it's just a single thing, it really won't make people think too much.

But if two things happened on the same day at the same time, and both attitudes changed extremely quickly, it would be very intriguing...

not to mention……

"Well, the person in charge of Trigger Animation told me that Youdou.com notified the major animation companies, either to sign a high-priced exclusive contract with Youdou.com, or to wait to be blacklisted by them, and they also said , Youdou.com has bought the exclusive rights to all the new series in September at a high price, and we can’t get even one new series.”

Li Zhiqiu immediately bit his lip and said angrily, "Why do they do this? They are simply bullying!"

Because Trigger Animation had a great time cooperating with Lin Qingshan twice, it informed Li Zhiqiu as soon as it learned about it.

"What should we do now? We don't have a new show, so it's hard to maintain the current popularity!"

Yan Lixue, wearing glasses, frowned and asked.

Now that the new shows are being monopolized, many illegal manuscripts on the website are about to be removed from the shelves. Those old shows that have signed the copyrights early will not be able to keep their profits for long.

People like the new and dislike the old. Once station C loses its new program, there may not be a large loss of users.

But the popularity will definitely not be maintained, and the number of users will certainly not be able to expand.

For Station C, which is currently struggling to advance or retreat, if it stands still when it should be expanding rapidly, it would be the end of the world.

Everyone looked at Gu Qianli. After all, she was the backbone of Station C, and she was the one who initiated the decision-making on weekdays.

Everyone is looking forward to what good ideas Gu Qianli will come up with.

But Gu Qianli was also a little confused. She didn't know how to break Youdou.com's situation now.

This is not a conspiracy, but simply using force to suppress others.

Why doesn't she ask Qiandu's parents for help?

However, although Youdou.com is not as large as Qiandu, there is no affiliation between the two.

Although the Chinese Internet is dominated by Qiandu Engine, it is not the only one.

It can even be said that if some users cannot search Youdou.com using Qiandu, do you think they will use another search engine?

And Gu Qianli really didn't want to ask his parents for help like this.

at this time……

"There is no new show...then why not just make it ourselves?"

Lin Qingshan's voice suddenly came from the side and said.

Everyone looked at Lin Qingshan with his hands spread out in confusion, as if there was a question mark on their heads.

"Huh? But we don't have an animation production department..."

Zhang Xingwen hesitated for a moment and said helplessly, "This won't work... Even if we recruit animation production staff and form an animation production department now, it is too hasty, and there is no competition for animations produced by such an inexperienced animation production department. So powerful..."

"It's not like I really did it all by myself..."

Lin Qingshan scratched his head and said, "We can cooperate with others. We just provide funds and the copyright belongs to us, right?"

"But who will cooperate with us now?"

Yang Zhihan said with some confusion.

"Yes, Trigger Animation...but they don't seem to have enough manpower. Let's recruit some more animators to help."

Lin Qingshan thought for a while and said, "This way they can also learn from it. If Station C really wants to set up an animation production department in the future, they will also have experience."

"Not enough people? Help?"

Everyone present was a little confused again. If they were producing a series, even if Trigger Animation were to produce another series at the same time, they wouldn't be short of manpower, right?

Is it possible that Trigger Animation will produce several series in a row?

“Will Trigger Animation really cooperate with us?”

Gu Qianli hesitated and said.

"Yes! I will produce a drama script! Plus the previous cooperation has been so pleasant, they will definitely cooperate with us."

Lin Qingshan smiled and showed his big white teeth, and said accurately, "When the time comes, I will give them several scripts of the series, and they will definitely be very happy!"

"How many dramas? Huh?"

Everyone present was stunned and their eyes widened.
