Dialogue jiangnan

China economic weekly: there have been many fantastic TV series in the past two years. How do you think it will be different if you participate in investment production?

Jiangnan: there are two differences. One is the temperament of the whole story. I think every successful TV series is different. If you keep repeating the model of a TV series, you will fail. So we have a different temperament in terms of the script, and Kyushu was originally recorded. The script is not about making money, but about having more control over how the story is presented. Second, the production technology and cost of TV dramas are rising rapidly. For example, after the successful industrialization, the special effects can be done with money. Own participation in the investment discourse power greater, more willing to invest.
