"To build a Generation Z entertainment IP, first, we should emphasize the construction of a common language for Generation Z; second, the story behind the IP.

He used TEA's industry reports and data to describe the trend of the global themed entertainment industry, and made prospects for China's themed entertainment industry.

 

"A good IP needs time and space. The so-called time means more than 30 years, and there are at least two or three generations of fans. For example, Mattel has a history of 70 years, Disney has a history of 90 years, Snoopy and others have a history of 75 years, those are very long time. But only having history is useless, there must be some space. The so-called space means you can find it everywhere. There are always movies and TV dramas, toys and derivatives when you go out. Only when IP has vitality, can it be called IP, because it will continue to self-produce "
