As the new media era develops rapidly, in order to cater to people's needs, some unconventional ways of making money often emerge.
For example, using very few resources to enjoy a work.
Many people don’t want to go the long way to the cinema, or they think the ticket price of thirty or forty dollars is too expensive, so they would rather spend two dollars to buy a copy of the movie released at home at the same time.
Although the picture quality is rough and the sound is not very clear, after understanding the general plot, you can proudly give it a one-star rating on the rating forum.
By the way, I blame the director for running out of ideas and the screenwriter for writing nonsense.
The popularity of the gun version has gradually spread to other circles.
For example, the novel circle, comics circle, and music circle.
Even for music albums at the lowest price point in the charging chain, where each song costs two or three yuan, the price is still not acceptable to some listeners. They simply spend five yuan to buy a month's worth of pirated music links, enjoy listening to them on the APP, and then maliciously accuse the singers of being incompetent and having to rely on audio editing because of the damaged sound quality.
At first, major companies did not realize the dangers of gun versions. By the time they realized it, it had become a very large group.
Even if they wanted to save the situation, they were helpless and could only repeatedly issue a series of advice in announcements, such as "Please support genuine products", but the effect was minimal.
These gun version gangs are very smart and specialize in picking popular works. After a few interactions, they also shifted their target to Dai Shutao.
As for all of Dai Shutao's paid music works, they also made pirated links and posted them online at low prices.
After discovering this incident, Dai Shutao's studio started operating immediately, and Hu Ke went directly to Dai Shutao because of the seriousness of the matter.
"This matter cannot be tolerated."
After hearing the whole story, Dai Shutao made a decision immediately.
Hu Ke smiled bitterly and shook his head, tapping the table with his index finger.
"Everyone knows the seriousness of this matter. If you continue to let it go, the atmosphere you worked so hard to establish might be distorted once again. However, these gangs are very clever and have multiple WeChat accounts. Even if you wanted to uncover their true identities, you wouldn't be able to. After all, we live in a society governed by the rule of law, so those shady little tricks won't work."
Although Hu Ke spoke obscurely, Dai Shutao could understand what he meant.
Because of the emphasis on conventional means and respect for the law, those private means cannot be used at all.
These people completely ignore all this. They keep jumping around in the gray area, making hateful faces, and saying arrogantly that if you have the ability, go catch them.
Finding these people is undoubtedly a very time-consuming and energy-consuming task. It is precisely because of this that many companies, after weighing the pros and cons, can only reluctantly give up some of the small profits at hand.
He constantly encourages his artists to abuse their fans so that they will spend more money to support the artists and fill this small hole in the gun version.
Seeing that these people were not held accountable, these gun gangs became more and more rampant, and the situation has evolved into what it is today.
Dai Shutao pondered for a moment, his eyes filled with gloom.
They are from the perspective of an operator, and they only know that the gun version will harm their personal interests, and they have no idea what the consequences will be if they continue to tolerate it.
Dai Shutao knew too well the dangers of gun versions.
She once had a screenwriter friend who had a good level of literary attainments and sufficient knowledge, but he was rejected by the market because he could not cater to the market and wrote about love stories.
After much difficulty, the film had a hope of becoming a big hit thanks to a historically based script. After its release, everyone was expecting the film to become a huge hit, but on the first day of its release, it earned less than two million at the box office.
Just because the rogue version of the movie was leaked on the day of the preview, they would rather buy the rogue version of the movie for two dollars than the movie ticket for thirty or forty dollars.
Since they couldn't experience the ultimate sound effects in the cinema and clearly see the magnificent images on the screen, everyone complained that this was an extremely bad movie and even gave it negative ratings on the platform.
Many people were discouraged by the poor picture quality of the gun version and even lost interest in this movie.
The honor that was originally within his grasp was missed just like that, and it was because of such a ridiculous reason as the gun version. Not long after, Dai Shutao heard the news that his friend had quit the creative circle and had never been seen since.
These ghost versions seem to be sucking the blood of those famous stars, but in fact, they harm the interests of countless unknown creators.
As a creator himself, Dai Shutao also respects the interests of other creators. He could have achieved the effect of killing a chicken in the throat. After thinking for a while, Dai Shutao slowly opened his eyes, and there was a coldness flashing in his beautiful eyes.
Xiao Xu, who was closest to her, couldn't help but shiver, and silently moved his chair away from her.
"Tell the company that I will not give up on this matter. No matter how long it takes, I will catch those gun gangs."
Dai Shutao spoke clearly, expressing her plan word for word.
Hu Ke glanced at Dai Shutao and was not surprised at all.
With Dai Shutao's temper, if something like this happened, there was no way she would just let it go, let alone pretend nothing had happened.
From the first time they met, Dai Shutao was stubborn enough, with an attitude of letting things grow wildly and being in a state of being helpless, leaving people with no way to deal with her.
"I understand."
Hu Ke concluded the matter succinctly: "I will report this matter to the company. It cannot be handled as a studio issue alone."
The gun version incident has not only harmed Dai Shutao's personal interests, but also other artists in the company have suffered losses due to the rampant gun version gang.
Since we have to solve it this time, we should settle it together.
Hu Ke spoke calmly and had previously planned to take a step back because he knew that this matter was troublesome enough.
Otherwise, a businessman like Qin Guican who is very meticulous about every penny would never let these gangs go.
Instead of wasting a lot of time dealing with them, it is better to directly create more effective projects to make more money. This is the philosophy that Qin Guican has always adhered to.
However, if the person causing the problem was Dai Shutao, the situation might have changed.
Just as Hu Ke thought, after this matter was reported to the company, Qin Guican didn't even raise an eyebrow.
"Of course it needs to be resolved."
In front of everyone, Qin Guican acted calm and composed.
"For a long time, gun-copy gangs have been infringing on the interests of companies and artists. Regardless of which side we stand on, we must resist this behavior and curb it in a timely manner. We must not allow the interests of artists to be further damaged."
The words sounded very high-sounding. Hu Ke and Han Zhao looked at each other silently and chuckled to each other.
