Chapter 437: Pirated CD Appears

phone-reading

It was the end of October, and Feng Yu was planning to prepare for this year's New Year's Day awards show, but he suddenly received a call from Jiang Wanmeng. There were pirated VCD discs on the market.

There is no particularly difficult technology for optical discs. Those who can produce CDs can produce VCD discs after a little research. And the production cost of this VCD disc is actually not high, only about one yuan, and one movie, two AB sides, plus outer packaging and transportation, the cost will not exceed three yuan.

Genuine VCD discs are measured by the price of the Fengyu brand, which is basically between ten and thirty yuan. About ten yuan is for old movies, old music videos, etc., and thirty yuan is mainly for new movies and new song MVs. As time goes by, it will gradually decrease.

Regardless of whether it is a 30-yuan CD or a 10-yuan CD, the VCD company earns about the same, but the division methods are different. Feng Yu originally thought that in this way, it would not leave too much market space for other competitors.

After all, whether it is Fengfeng or Aihua, the CDs produced can be sold at VCD sales points. If you buy VCDs, you must buy several CDs, right?

But Feng Yu prevented the piracy of the VCD player, but failed to prevent the piracy of the CD. There is no difference between listening to music or watching a movie on a five-yuan CD, and on a ten-yuan CD.

Especially those small video halls, they originally made money by playing this kind of video tapes. One person charged 50 cents for a movie, so the lower the cost, the better.

Feng Yu sent people to these places to sell VCDs, which indeed increased the sales of VCDs to a certain extent, but those pirates also found business opportunities.

He went to the video store outside to see if the situation was as serious as Jiang Wanmeng said.

"The sky and the earth are long, people pass by in a hurry, and the tide ebbs and flows; Enmity and resentment, life and death, how many people can see through it? The world of mortals is rolling..."

At the entrance of the video store, a loud speaker was deafening. Ye Qianwen's "Walking in Style", a song that pushed Ye Qianwen's career to its peak, was playing.

Feng Yu saw a lot of people entering the audio-visual store, but when they came out, most of them bought tapes, some people came out with video tapes, and only a few people came out with CDs or VCDs CD.

Compact discs replaced magnetic and video tapes. Looks like it will take a few more years.

"Whatever you want, go in and pick it out yourself. If you can't find it, you can ask me. We have everything in the store. As long as you tell me, even if you don't have it for the time being, I can find it for you." The owner saw Feng Yu coming in, enthusiastically Said. The service attitude of private audio-visual stores is better than that of state-owned ones.

"Where is the VCD?"

"The front shelf, this side is for songs, and the other side is for movies and TV shows."

I want a VCD disc. That is to say, there is a VCD player at home. The CD is much more expensive than the tape, and he earns more, especially the purchase price of the CD is even lower now!

Feng Yu scanned the shelves, some singer's concert videos, some song miscellaneous. Feng Yu didn't know which ones were produced by his company and which ones were pirated.

But when he saw a mixed Mandarin and Cantonese CD, he knew it might be a pirated version, and his company would not produce such a mixed CD. Especially after seeing MJ's concert CD, Feng Yu was sure. This must be a bootleg.

MJ's contract belongs to Sony, how could Sony sell the rights to Feng Yu? It would be fine if other companies were printed on this box, but it was printed on Fengyu Audiovisual, which is absolutely impossible!

But the pirated discs at this time are not as crudely made as they were in the previous life, and even the packaging is exactly the same as the genuine ones. A store got bootleg. It will not enter the genuine version again, because the profit of pirated version is higher. Feng Yu suspects that most of the items in this video store are pirated.

Turn the other side and watch movie CDs. There are mainland movies, Xiangjiang movies, Baodao movies, European and American movies, and some classic movies from previous lives. Every CD is outsourced and transferred, and it is absolutely impossible to tell that it is a pirated version.

But Feng Yu knew that there must be something wrong, shouldn't it be time to create a laser anti-counterfeiting mark? But it seems that this is also easy to imitate, after all, what they make is a laser-burned disc.

"Dude, have you chosen yet?" The owner came over and asked, there was a woman sitting at the door, probably his wife.

"How do you sell these two dishes?"

"Eighteen for one, and two for thirty-five."

Feng Yu put on a look of embarrassment on purpose: "Can't it be cheaper?"

"Hey, our purchase price is also quite expensive, how about it, you really want to buy it, two thirty-three, this is already the cheapest price."

"Don't fool me, how did I hear that other people's homes cost ten yuan a piece?" Feng Yu wanted to test the reserve price.

"Is their quality comparable to mine? Look, mine are all genuine discs. The sound quality and picture effects are better than theirs. Forget it, earn a repeat customer, two thirty, can't It couldn't be cheaper."

"Okay, thank you, I want these two."

Feng Yu returned home and put a CD into the VCD player. After the video was played, Feng Yu frowned more and more.

The clarity and sound quality are not bad at all, and Feng Yu and the others did not buy the copyright for the video on the disc. If it is produced by Sony itself, it is fine, because it is difficult to import, and the volume will not be large, and it is also a disguised form to stimulate VCD sales.

But it happened to be a pirated Fengyu card, which made Feng Yu quite helpless.

Feng Yu called and contacted Fu Guangzheng to discuss this matter and what to do.

"Brother Feng, we don't need to pay attention to this, right? Our own CDs are selling well. Only when there are more CDs can VCD players sell better. By then, it will become a must-have for the family just like ordinary TV sets. Besides, there are a lot of movies and music, we don’t have the copyright, and others want to watch them, what should we do?”

"Then let's indulge?" Feng Yu asked back. Last month, he told Hu Ge not to make any more pirated games, and Xiaobawang's game consoles were officially discontinued.

"Their pirated copies will harm our interests. Do you know that some pirated CDs are more expensive than our genuine CDs. And they still use our brand name, which is definitely not good for the brand image. What if What if someone sues us and says we are fake?"

Fu Guangzheng was shocked: "You mean, there is a big company here to support it and deliberately condone it?"

"I have seen a lot of movies and music videos owned by Sony, and I feel that this is not simple." Feng Yu suspected that this was a pit dug for him by Sony. When Sony sues him for copyright infringement, all his CDs will be taken off the shelves and subject to interrogation, which will definitely make the VCD market that has just started to improve, go backwards again!

Feng Yu also started to make phone calls, looking for all the connections, and found out who was doing the piracy, and he insisted on using the wind and rain card! (To be continued.)
