My Animation Era

  Chapter 578 Punish copyright chaos (seeking subscription)

   Through the "Wanbaoisagirl" website, Gu Miao also noticed a problem.

   Wanbao's overseas operation mechanism is not perfect, and there are many omissions and deficiencies...

  Why do people like to watch raw meat?

  Why is there a distinction between "raw meat" and "cooked meat" overseas, and why is there a soil for the rise of folk subtitle groups?

   It comes down to it.

  The overseas operation of Wanbao Animation is still too slow. Sometimes it is rebroadcasted three or four times in China, and there is no news about the overseas version.

  As for the popularity of folk subtitle groups, it is even more worthy of reflection.

   is also doing subtitle translation.

  Why is the subtitle made by a group of fans better than the official Wanbao? The translation is more appropriate and more popular with overseas fans?

   "Where is the copyright agent?"

  Gu Miao asked very upset: "Our company seems to have a lot of copyright agency partners overseas, right? What are they doing? Why is the translation effect not as good as that of the private team?"

  "All thinking about making money! No one is dedicated to operating and maintaining our IP!"

   Gu Miao, who became more and more angry, immediately asked Lao Zhang to issue a notice, calling all the representatives of Wanbao's copyright agency partners to the company for a meeting, and severely criticized them.

   Wanbao Group is a big company.

  Although the scale is large and there are many copyrights, it is impossible to expand the business to every corner of the world, let alone set up branches all over the world.

   Except for the three major regions of Neon, North America and Europe, which have set up exclusive copyright agency subsidiaries to directly operate and maintain copyright affairs on behalf of the official, other regions have found agency partners.

for example.

  Wanbao Group has a copyright agency partner named "Old Chuangfei" in Africa.

  Jiu Chuangfei spent a huge amount of money to obtain the general agency rights of copyright in Africa from Wanbao Group. The business in the African region is basically under the jurisdiction of the other party's agent.

   Wanbao has a total of 27 copyright agents like this!

   For a long time, Gu Miao has always had a "free-range" attitude towards these 27 copyright agency partners.

simply put.

  Wanbao is only responsible for making animations and producing derivative products related to toys. As for how to broadcast animations and how to sell peripheral toys? It is entirely up to the agent to decide.

  This also led to many copyright chaos that he did not discover in time.

Or…

  He found out, but the sky is high and the emperor is far away. As long as it doesn't affect Wanbao's headquarters and pays the protection fee on time, he doesn't bother to take care of these things.

  But now I can’t care about it!

  The popularity of the "Wanbaoisagirl" website, as well as the issues mentioned in the petition, all attracted Gu Miao's attention.

  He is determined to rectify the copyright chaos.

  The first copyright agency partner he used to "kill chickens and monkeys" was the general agent in Africa, the famous "Old Chuangfei".

  …

   About three years ago.

  South Africa "Jiu Chuangfei" Cultural Development Co., Ltd. was established. In June of the same year, Jiu Chuangfei obtained the general agency rights of Wanbao copyright in Africa.

  During these three years.

  Jiu Chuangfei did make a lot of money, but their tricks were endless, which really disgusted many loyal fans of Wanbao.

   Among them, the most embarrassing operation was to lie about the fire in Wanbao headquarters factory, a large number of limited edition toys were burned, and the price was maliciously hyped.

   Gu Miao only heard about it later.

What? The factory caught fire?

  He stays in Jiangchuan all day, why hasn't he heard of this? Could it be that he was blind, even he didn't know the factory was on fire, but Jiu Chuangfei did?

besides.

  In the past three years, Jiu Chuangfei has done countless bad things, which has caused countless Wanbao fans to complain about it.

   Don't ask why, Gu Miaoming knows that the old chuangfeisao operation is constantly going on, so he still doesn't cancel the other party's agency rights...

  Ask means that the protection fee has been paid enough!

  Old Chuangfei is very hateful and despicable in the eyes of fans, but the protection fee they hand over to Wanbao headquarters every year is indeed quite a lot.

  If Gu Miao changed her agency, in the market environment of Africa, she might not be able to squeeze out so much money!

certainly…

  The three-year period has come!

   After tolerating the other party's misbehavior for three years, it's time to kill the pig. Gu Miao found an excuse at random, and fined the other party 158 million yuan.

   "Is this too much?"

  Once Lao Zhang heard the amount given by Gu Miao, he couldn't hold back immediately.

  Old Chuangfei is acting as an agent in Africa. Although Africa is very large, to be honest, there is not much oil and water. Would Jiu Chuangfei be happy to punish so much money in one go?

   Wouldn't you just say goodbye to Wanbao in a fit of anger, and turn around and give up the agency right?

   "Don't worry, they won't."

  Gu Miao said confidently: "The so-called punishment is just for the fans to see. It means that the old creators have done many evil things, and now they have been caught by the wise and mighty President Gu."

   "Besides, you really think that the old Chuangfei can't afford to pay the fine? They have made a lot of money during the three years of copyright agency."

  158 million is a lot.

  But for the general agent in Africa, this amount of money is really nothing. Compared with the protection fee handed in every year, this should be regarded as the milk powder money paid to Mr. Gu.

   In addition to the old Chuangfei.

  Wanbao had a total of 27 general copyright agents, and Gu Miao directly punished 17 of them. Fines can range from hundreds of millions to hundreds of millions.

  In addition to fines, Gu Miao also re-established strict copyright operation agency standards, requiring all copyright agencies to pay attention to it.

   Such as the subtitle problem!

  This is an old-fashioned thing. Official subtitles are not as good as private subtitles. This kind of thing cannot happen in Wanbao in the future.

   If anyone can’t do it, then don’t act as an agent of Wanbao’s copyright, just get out.

  Anyway, Wanbao has no shortage of agents, and you can find another immediately after rolling one. On the contrary, these copyright agents would starve to death immediately without Wanbao.

   After severely beating the copyright agency partners in various overseas regions, Wanbao’s problem of being criticized by fans has finally been resolved.

   It cannot be said to be completely resolved.

   But at least the overall atmosphere is much better than before. Through this meeting, everyone also understands that Gu Miao is not joking, if anyone does not do well, they will really be revoked the agency...

   But then again.

  Wanbao's agent partners are not all villains. Among the 27 general copyright agents, there are also several good agents who "get out of the mud but not stained".

  For example, the general agent of a country in South America.

  The same purchase price of "Sailor Moon" figure, other regions can't wait to increase the price by ten or twenty times, and the price will be severely fried to drain the fans' wallets.

   But this agent acted like crazy, and sold it for shipping fee + purchase price + tax + 20 yuan.

   Only earn 20 bucks!

  Such a low price has caused a large number of "Sailor Moon" fans to go to friends in the country for cross-border purchasing.

   That's right!

  Because the price is too low, it is equivalent to half sale, half free. Many fans of "Sailor Moon" will give priority to buying the South American version.

   Conscience can be said to be greatly improved!

  For a copyright agency like this, Gu Miao will of course severely... criticize and fine her!

   Nima sells so cheaply that Huaguo fans all want to find a purchasing agent. Have you considered the feelings of Wanbao headquarters?
