🌟 **Exciting News!** 🌟

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve been quoted in Sandy Carter's 2025 predictions in !

🌟 In prediction #3, I discuss how short dramas—also known as vertical dramas or micro films—are set to take the film and television industry by storm. 🚀

As an fashiontech founder and actress, it’s amazing to see how these vertical dramas are revolutionizing the way we consume content. Their concise, engaging format perfectly fits our fast-paced, digital lives. 📱✨

Here’s a quick look at some impressive stats:

- By February 2024, the overseas short drama market, including the U.S., Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, is projected to reach several hundred million dollars.

- Leading apps like ReelShort, DramaBox, and GoodShort generated a major share of their revenue from the US market.

- Short drama apps amassed nearly 55 million downloads and $170 million in in-app purchase revenues by early 2024.

To help Chinese short dramas expand globally, I believe we need to:

- **Localize Content**
- **Involve Women Creators**
- **Adopt a Pay-to-View Model**
- **Integrate with Brands**
- **Leverage AI Technology**

Let’s continue to push the boundaries and captivate audiences worldwide! 🌍🎬

Thank you Sandy & Forbes!

🌟 Excited to share that I recently had the honor of speaking at the first "New Voyage of Drama: Global Vision" short drama forum held at the Relax Hotel in Hangzhou! 🌟

During my talk, I delved into the vast potential and opportunities for short dramas in the global market. Here are some insightful statistics I shared:

📊 According to TikTok for Business, by 2024, the overseas short drama market, including the U.S., Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, is projected to reach several hundred million dollars, with a monthly user base of 20 to 40 million people. In the future, the market size is expected to grow to tens of billions, with a monthly user base estimated to reach 200 to 300 million people. 📈

🎥 In the past year alone, over 40 short drama apps have explored overseas markets, accumulating nearly 55 million downloads and generating $170 million in in-app purchase revenues by the end of February 2024. 📱

As the founder and CEO of 360Fashion Network, I emphasized the critical role of cutting-edge technologies such as AI, augmented reality (VR), and virtual reality (AI) in transforming the short drama industry. These technologies open up broader narrative spaces and more expressive possibilities, making high-quality, low-cost productions achievable for innovative young directors.

Short dramas have unique advantages in storytelling, emotional expression, and cultural connotations, enabling them to secure a significant place in the international market. However, to succeed overseas, we must deeply understand the cultural characteristics and audience demands of global markets, innovate content, and enhance quality.

The future of short dramas is incredibly bright, and I'm thrilled to be part of this dynamic journey. Let's continue to push the boundaries and bring the charm of short dramas to audiences worldwide! 🌐🎬

HAPPY WORLD DIABETES DAY!! And Happy STROKE-Aversary to me!! 15 years ago today I had my stroke on my way to the final event for Divabetic at Riverside Church. Timing is everything. It was super inconvenient to not go up and coordinate the fashion event with Max Szadek and the team, but I insisted on getting to the hospital (as soon as I did the FAST test) and told my husband to call 9-1-1 …it is a game changer to get to the hospital within three hours of a stroke!! They can administer TPA (clot busting drug) and stop the brain attack from further spreading and taking out more facilities. I call it my Lucky Stroke! A special reason to celebrate this special day!! Gratitude and determination healed me. Thanks to JP Candu - the great Poet - for his nursing me back to wholeness …I really do get by with a little help from my friends!! THANKFUL FOR TODAY!!!

The collection is gaining momentum and popularity. Power Pieces: Heroic Adornment has been an idea that emerged from the depths of my inner psyche and combines my journeys in the fields of fashion, comics and sustainability under one main umbrella! I love that I would never have created this endeavor without the influence of Mark Gruenwald and all my wonderful cronies along the way. Runway the Real Way is fashion diversity on the inclusive catwalk. Underlying all my many decades is the sense of equality, disrupting and leveling the playing field. Thanks to all my supporters over the years who always participated in my scarebrain schemes and made sure I always was embraced for wacky ideas and moments of lucid, waking dream states where I was channeling some “what if” moments and willing them into existence
