"Shadow Association" confirms that it will start charging next New Year's Day

The day before yesterday, in the 19th annual Golden Rooster Film Festival, the Chinese Film Forum, "Shadow Association" chairman Zhu Yongde confirmed that the film Works Copyright collection method will be implemented from next year's New Year. According to the new "film works copyright collective management fee Collection standards" provisions: Internet cafes if you download the movie through the server to create a database to provide customers, will pay a certain fee. And where the film works of the long-distance bus, regardless of the use of the number of films and categories, all the implementation of the collection, each year to collect royalties per car 365~500 yuan.

In order to ensure the protection of film Copyright, the association will employ district representatives in various provinces and cities, with district representatives responsible for charging and promoting implementation.

The biggest beneficiary of the big increase in copyright revenue

After the publicity, the newspaper reporter for the shadow of the association calculate a sum of account: A total of 150,000 registered Internet cafes in the whole year, the total amount of internet Bar film copyright charges will reach 1 billion yuan, and then take the long-distance bus as an example, if the size of China's large and medium-sized operating passenger cars accounted for about 1 million, the annual film royalties can be charged 3 billion to 5 billion yuan. This conjecture data, can let domestic movie eat into a big fat! The estimate has cheered the film industry. The income from this fixed copyright may be even more impressive, given that many films have only millions of dollars in the National box office.

But Zhu Yongde seems less sanguine. He thinks the real gains won't be that high. He expected: "The scheme will have 20 million yuan after one year, 2 years after 30 million yuan, 3 years later can reach 200 million yuan, then up to 800 million yuan." But at the same time he also thinks that the future of a movie copyright revenue will be higher than the box office income, this is the trend. In Hollywood, a movie box office revenue accounted for only 20% of the total income, the other is the copyright proceeds and under the authorized development of the product proceeds. With the development of new media and network, there is a wide space for the income of film copyright in China.

Reaction of the parties

Netizens：

No movies on the bus?

No, not exactly the same.

After the announcement of the toll, many netizens worried that this will lead to Internet cafes or bus no movies to see.

"Ruthless," the Netizen said: "Before the bus no movie to see the same sit." Now that the fees are increased, many buses may simply cancel their plans to play movies on the road. Anyway, now personal portable entertainment tools are also popular, and sometimes think the bus on the movie too noisy! His message received a lot of netizens agree.

In addition, because in the local area network plays the movie also to pay the expense, has the netizen to say that in Guangzhou more popular each flood treatment clubhouse also to have the movie broadcast question, whether the shadow association should also include these units in the charge scope to be worth the attention.

Internet café owner:

Small Internet cafes will give up downloading

Large Internet cafes unaffected

For the new payment measures, the reporter interviewed several owners operating internet cafes.

Xiao Lin, who runs a small internet café near a university in Hunan province, said: "If so, it may delete the movie database in the Internet café." Anyway, the majority of the Internet to play games for networking. Customers can also choose to watch the movie online. There is no need to add to this expenditure. ”

Some large internet cafes say the new charging policy will not affect them. Around 2007, large Internet cafes began to work with a number of network platform companies to buy the company's film playback platform. Large Internet cafes and network platform companies signed the agreement clearly indicated that any copyright issues, are undertaken by the network platform company.

Video site:

No charge for download

Watching movies at home doesn't affect

Will the new film copyright charging policy affect the major video sites? Tudou officials said in an interview yesterday that they would not be affected. The person responsible for the publicity said: "We currently provide to users to see the film is basically the purchase of copyright." We will be more concerned about the idea of netizens, we would like to see which film we will go to the copyright party to negotiate with the film. After the purchase, we will be through the insertion of advertising and other means to recover costs. "After the introduction of the new copyright fee policy, will the potato and other video sites to users download the film services levy fees?" Tudou responded, "No. ”

All in all, the new copyright fee policy will not affect Internet users at home for the time being.
