Digital content products have become increasing­ly important in culture exchanges on the global stage.

As China has become one of the largest producers and consumers of digital content, we should promote the rapid developmen­t of the industry in the country and facilitate promoting Chinese culture and Chinese enterprise­s overseas.

Some scandals, such as exaggerati­ng box-office numbers, have triggered heated discussion among the public recently.

If the fickle (financial) atmosphere in film and television circles remains unchanged, it will be hard for artists and workers behind the scenes to produce awesome works and it will be a challenge to produce first-class work that represents the country’s highest standards for overseas promotion.

Social capital has poured into the cultural industry, and in most cases the reason for selecting a project is click-through rate. So, in most films the leading actors are young, good-looking men, “little fresh meat” as it is known in Chinese. However, good actors require time and experience to mature.
