Legend International Film Forum event will focus on vast topic of strategic opportunities across China.
What is Legend International Film Forum (LIFF)?
The Film Industry in China has had a tumultuous start to 2019, but even-so China’s box office revenue rose 9 percent in 2018 to 60.98 billion yuan ($8.87 billion). As the addition of 5G transforms the landscape, China now leads the world in the mobile market sector. China’s OTT (Over The Top) growth is forecast to quickly double that of traditional television, and with this growth comes the need for more content. The need for more content creates an opportunity for companies to service these needs, near and afar.
LIFF (Legend International Film Forum) is hosted by the Luoyang government and Legend China at Luoyang Wanda Cinema. Please join us for an informative day of panels, networking and celebration, as we cover “Strategic Opportunities across China”. Some of the major topics are:
-
- What are the challenges and risks?
- Why are 2nd and 3rd tier cities a better choice than Beijing or Shanghai?
- How does it compare to other Global destinations?
- How do we attract talent and build a secure Hollywood pipeline?
- How do we choose the right partners?
- How do we work with the local governments?
