🎙️ In this episode, we spoke with Holmes, a Chinese filmmaker working in the short drama industry since 2020, about how web novels shaped China’s vertical drama boom.

We also discussed casting, chemistry, female gaze storytelling, AI-generated short dramas, and why audiences today only want the “most exciting parts” of a story.

If you want to understand how Chinese creators think about pacing and emotional storytelling — this is an episode worth listening to.
