On October 25, Sichuan Ziqi Culture Communication Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Ziqi Culture") and Liu Tongming and MCN institution Hangzhou Weinian Brand Management Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Hangzhou Weinian") added new case filing information, the plaintiff in the first instance was Ziqi Culture, and the defendant was Hangzhou Weinian and Liu Tongming. The Economic Measures Court is the Intermediate People's Court of Mianyang City, Sichuan Province.
Li Ziqi, formerly known as Li Jiajia, as a homegrown world-class Internet celebrity, YouTube's subscriptions have reached 15 million by May 2021. Each of his videos feels pleasing to the eye, with 5 million views of any video. On various platforms around the world, Li Ziqi's global fans have accumulated more than 100 million. Among them, a professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University directly said that Li Ziqi's influence is comparable to CNN, the most influential media in the United States.
But Li Ziqi has recently suddenly broken the change, originally changed every month before, and now it has not updated the video for several months in a row, which can't help but make everyone wonder what happened? It is rumored that Li Yapeng poached the production team of Li Ziqi, but after the teams of both sides debunked the rumors and did not dig the foot of the wall, Li Yapeng was still frank and frank.
The rumor was that Li Ziqi and Hangzhou Weinian broke off due to an equity dispute. Although Sichuan Ziqi Culture Communication Co., Ltd. bears the name of Li Ziqi, the company's shareholding structure is not as obvious as the name seems. Hangzhou Weinian's equity in Ziqi culture accounts for 51%, while the named Li Ziqi only accounts for 49%.
Lawyer Li Yang of Henan Yuqing Law Firm believes that commercial law fully respects the autonomy of the intentions of all parties, and how the cooperation agreement between Li Ziqi and Wei Nian is agreed We have no way of knowing it now, if the video agreement created by Li Ziqi belongs to Hangzhou Wei Nian, then Li Ziqi cannot claim intellectual property rights for the video he creates. On the surface, Li Ziqi accounts for 49% of the company's equity, but the real dividend profit still depends on the cooperation agreement between the two sides, the probability of Li Ziqi's dividends from it is less than 49%, and Li Ziqi's right to speak in the company must be in a weak position, which is also the conflict point of this contradiction.
I hope that after experiencing this storm, Li Ziqi can bring better works to everyone and better spread Chinese culture to the world.
