As much as everyone would love to claim that they enjoy “highly refined” art and movies, many people enjoy the guilty pleasure of watching reality shows featuring celebrities making a fool of themselves. China has a lot of these shows, and they drive an infinite number of online debates and memes. These cultural products are a vibrant part of China's entertainment industry and also help push the sale of VIP memberships on a variety of internet platforms. Today's guests give an insider’s view of the industry, and explain the latest trends as well as who you should pitch your project to.FeaturingShirley Cheng : Chief Creative Officer & Partner at CNEXLuca Zhao : CEO of Dao Media
