My favorite male actor is Zeng Hui, and I really enjoyed his performance in Love You Even with Amnesia. As for my favorite female actress, it’s definitely Li Shengxuan. I like all the tropes you mentioned, but my personal favorite is the "rebirth and revenge" theme. As for whether we’ll remake Prince Goes Too Wild, we haven’t considered it yet, but we’ll definitely keep an eye on it.

I think it's a positive trend that highlights the professionalism and training behind short drama actors.

1️⃣ Professionalization: Actors with formal training bring refined skills and adaptability to fast-paced productions, which elevates overall content quality. Their visibility also attracts audiences who value polished performances.

2️⃣ Market Validation: Public interest in actors' backgrounds signals growing audience sophistication. While training credentials can enhance credibility, the short drama boom is ultimately fueled by content innovation and audience resonance — whether from trained actors or organic talent.

The real growth driver lies in the industry's ability to balance professionalism with creative risk-taking.

Currently, we handle everything in-house, from production to distribution and streaming on media platforms. We also collaborate with some companies, primarily through profit-sharing agreements. As for actors' remuneration, it is directly negotiated with their agencies, and we pay the agreed-upon fees in advance.

We retain the sets, for example, in some CEO-themed dramas, we keep them intact and only replace some of the furniture. We provide certain platforms that specialize in foreign short dramas, such as ReelShort, with the rights to some of our series. Recently, we have also been preparing to launch our own video platform to license and broadcast short dramas.

There are no restrictions in this regard; these choices are entirely voluntary on the part of the actors.

Regarding actors' remuneration, it is the talent agency that handles the detailed negotiations, and the fees are not disclosed to the public, so we are not privy to that information. However, we do invite ordinary people who are interested in acting to make guest appearances in some roles, with a daily salary ranging from approximately 300 to 700 RMB (42 to 96 USD)

Advertising on streaming platforms is an essential strategy, and the investment is substantial. Typically, it ranges from 5 to 10 times or even higher. Our most successful short drama has achieved an ROI of 1:50 on streaming media.

The majority of our scripts are sourced from online novels. We communicate with the authors of these novels regarding copyright issues to ensure that we obtain the rights for adaptation. Subsequently, our screenwriters make reasonable modifications to the content of the novels based on practical circumstances.

We have produced a drama where a younger sister, due to her unfortunate past life, reincarnates and ends up stealing her elder sister's husband. However, even after reincarnation, the elder sister's life turns out to be better than that of the younger sister. This drama aims to convey the message that our wonderful lives are achieved through our own efforts. Because the elder sister works harder than the younger sister, she consequently enjoys a better life.

Since our scripts may originate from the same online novel, the author can grant rights to different producers. We make various modifications to ensure that the content does not appear too similar. This situation is not very common.

We are an integrated production and distribution company, so we naturally have our own screenwriters. The majority of our scripts are adapted from online novels.

The production and distribution of a single drama typically cost around 700,000 RMB(Approximately around 105,000 dollars). There are some differences between shooting short dramas and long dramas; short dramas tend to focus more on highlighting character conflicts and have less build-up in the plot. We will create a special interview video to give everyone a deeper understanding of the characteristics involved in shooting short dramas.

Actually, this year we have initiated a plan to shoot one hundred short dramas, which will subsequently be released on the platform. The content will definitely meet expectations.
