The large conference room on the 25th floor of Phoenix Film and Television Headquarters is simple and elegantly decorated and fully equipped. Nearly thirty people sat in the conference room.
Jing Gao sat at the head of the oval conference table without hesitation, facing the microphone, looking around at everyone, and said in a clear voice: "In today's meeting, we will discuss how to promote the role of screenwriters in film and television drama production.
I read the meeting agenda. Specifically, we want to discuss how the drama center system can be implemented in Phoenix Film and Television and iQiyi. I came here to attend this meeting today just to solve the problems in the implementation process!
Now everyone is invited to speak freely around this topic without being restricted by their positions or identities. Come one by one. "
There was a slight chill in the conference room.
Because Jinggao's opening remarks were too direct. Just say it to solve the problem. This group of people has basically never had a meeting with Jing Gao, and they are completely unsuited to Jing Gao's concise, bright, and pragmatic style.
When Fang Shaofan was about to cheer up his big boss, Song Fangjin, who was fat and tall, spoke unhurriedly into the microphone in front of him: "Mr. Jing, let me say a few words first. To improve the status of screenwriters, First of all, the first rule is that originality and intellectual property rights must be respected!
Nowadays, some people in the industry don't even have basic professional qualities and ethics, but they are still doing very well! iQIYI is indispensable for adding fuel to the fire.
I suggest that Mr. Jing first ban Yu () and Guo () who were sentenced by the court, and then talk about the next issue. "
This is called a slap in the face. In a company where even plagiarists can appear openly and treat themselves as guests, how can you ask him to believe that you will improve the status of the screenwriter?
If you don't do the most basic things, how can you talk about a drama-centered system? Just plagiarize and that’s it!
Jing Gao smiled and said to Gong Yu and several iQiyi executives: "Everyone, it seems that the industry has a lot of opinions on you!"
iQiyi’s structure consists of CEO, CFO (Chief Financial Officer), Chief Content Officer, CTO (Chief Technology Officer), Chief Marketing Officer, followed by President and Senior Vice President.
In today's meeting, Gong Yu, as the CEO, definitely did not bring the entire management team to the meeting. That is unrealistic. Furthermore, he does not think he needs to be led by Phoenix Films.
On the contrary, as an Internet capital platform, he still has an advantage in TV series production! Phoenix Films needs to sell a large number of TV series to him every year. He is Party A’s father!
Of course, in the field of movies, there is no way to compare the box office of online movies and theater movies.
Therefore, what he brought today are chief content officer Wang Xiaohui, chief technology officer Liu Wenfeng, and chief marketing officer Wang Xiangjun. Chen Xiao, the senior vice president responsible for purchasing videos, then senior vice president Dai Ying, senior vice president of the self-produced content department, and Li Liying, senior deputy director.
The two leading members of iQiyi’s self-produced content are Dai Ying and Li Liying. The two are in charge of the iQiyi Self-made Drama Development Center and iQiyi Qixing Drama Studio respectively. The production direction of dramas is modern, costume, and suspense.
Jing Gao's words made several iQiyi executives look expressionless. Li Liying, who is in charge of content production, clearly curled her lips.
The industry's opinions on the three Youaiteng companies are huge, but what can be done? It is the three Internet platforms that are changing the entire film and television industry, rather than being changed by the film and television industry! Whoever controls the capital has the right to speak in the circle.
Jing Gao stared at her for a few seconds, smiled, and said: "In the industrial field, copycatting is the only way to go. However, in the field of literature and art, plagiarism must not be encouraged! Since the court has already ruled, then we So don’t cooperate with Yu and Guo anymore. Gong Yu, is there any problem with iQiyi?"
Gong Yu immediately expressed his stance and replied categorically: "Mr. Jing, we have no problem with iQiyi!" He was now somewhat of a broken person.
During dinner at the Blue Lake Club two days ago, he was reprimanded for opposing Mr. Jing's opinions. Mr. Jing has given him an ultimatum and only given him three months to change iQiyi. What are the consequences of not changing?
Mr. Jing's reputation as a ruthless and ruthless man is well-known in the business world! The entire management team of Sina and Weibo was completely wiped out by him.
Since Mr. Jing, as the controlling major shareholder, doesn’t care about iQiyi’s stock price, iQiyi’s performance, or betting against the stock of his old club Baidu, then what does he care about? It is useless for investors to scold him to death. As a small shareholder, founder and CEO holding 1.8% of the shares, whether he can continue to stay in the company is completely decided by Mr. Jing!
Song Fangjin couldn't help but slap his mouth. What about playing an oboe? He has been around for many years and is also a screenwriter. Doesn’t he still understand this trick?
The big boss may be aloof and talk about principles, feelings, and face, but the managers and senior executives working below will use all kinds of soft knives to delay and cancel orders. The simplest way to dismiss the big boss's opinion is: the company's profits have dropped!
Wang Hailin took off the peaked cap on his head again. I feel a little irritable!
Why did he come out to fight against the traffic? He gave a speech at Guanwang’s year-end show last year, criticizing traffic and Yu Z’s plagiarism.
Because this industry needs someone to speak out!
How to become a new youth selected by x Beijing News? The answer is to play basketball. What will you do after being promoted to New Youth? Send a lawyer’s letter!
This is a traffic star!
Look at now, with Mr. Jing’s power and status, he criticizes and puts pressure on iQiyi’s management face to face, and this is the result. Three feet of ice does not last in a day!
Jing Gao frowned slightly and gently knocked on the conference table. Knock, knock, Gong Yu felt his heart beat faster. He knew that Mr. Jing was clearly expressing his dissatisfaction, but at this moment, he heard Jing Gao say: " In this way, iQiyi will now post an official statement on WeChat: boycott plagiarism and will no longer cooperate with Yu and Guo.
Existing collaborations were immediately stopped, and programs already on the shelves were dropped. Commercial contracts and interest disputes that arise will be handled through legal channels! "
As he spoke, he said in a slightly sarcastic tone: "Gong Yu, iQiyi doesn't even have a chief legal officer or compliance officer! It shows that your position in the industry is still very strong. In many cases, you can get things done without resorting to legal weapons."
Gong Yu sweated slightly on his forehead, stood up and said, "Okay, Mr. Jing. I'll do it right away." With that, he left the conference room directly.
Several iQiyi executives immediately fell silent, and invariably remembered all the rumors about Mr. Jing.
If they disobey Mr. Jing's wishes, there is no need to have the slightest doubt that every one of you here today will be fired from the company and lose their position and job.
For ordinary people, where to go to work is not work? The road to job hunting is not that difficult. But for executives, if you are fired, it will be difficult to find a position with comparable salary and power if you do not have special connections.
Life and career will suffer a heavy setback!
Jing Gao glanced at several people one by one, regardless of whether some of them were once the deputy director of CCTV and the central person in charge of Zhejiang Satellite TV. Then he smiled and said to Song Fangjin: "Teacher Song, continue!"
Damn it!
Song Fangjin now feels as refreshed as if he had eaten ginseng fruit, with the word "refreshing" shining through every pore. Mr. Jing’s strength is truly awesome!
The CEO of iQiyi went out to Weibo on the spot to draw a clear line with the plagiarists. What else could he say?
Wang Hailin was in an extremely happy mood. He has been calling for a boycott of bad artists and plagiarists in the industry, but so far there has been no official statement. Once Phoenix Films and iQiyi take the lead, the relevant official departments will definitely follow up!
"Mr. Jing, let me talk about this play-centered system."
