Changing Models, Day-One Revenue and Why the Michelin Approach Will Fail – Anne Chan spotted the microdrama opportunity way back when the segment was dismissed as a cheezy fad and made headlines around the world for salacious series titles. In this episode, she talks about where the money is coming from and where it's going, the shows and distribution models that are working and why, and what life looks like in a business that looks a lot more glamorous on an investment chart than it does from the inside.
Two The Point is a briefing on Asia’s entertainment business hosted by Janine Stein and Patrick Frater.
