Where Quibi failed, 🇨🇳 apps are now (dramabox, @Reelshort_) pushing for 1' ep. micro-series, Duanju (短剧) in Chinese.
What are the creative conditions to produce such Fifty Shades-esque stories, and is the market there?

Richest five families in Florence 🇮🇹 from 1427 are still the richest today (archival data). Not only the top shows persistence. Any family who was in the (1427) top third is almost certain to still be there today. Likely many Florences out there
Paper in Review of Econ Studies
Took a 1 day adventure out of Beijing to go to Handan's county.
Handan was one of the first cities in china (6500BC) while the first Buddha statues carved into the mountains outside of it go back to the 6th cent.
That mountain statues is also surrounded by coal plants.

Culture is expensive, and 🇨🇳 makes no exception to that. After going through the regulation hurdle, who are the patrons sponsoring artists?

I understand it's hard to read the tea leaves to understand China, but that article could have added more of those contextual info
1) Born To Fly 长空之王 was beaten at the box office by Godspeed 人生路不熟, a family comedy with feminist themes

“Born to Fly” is “Top Gun” with added nationalist grievance and no sex. If it is a hit in China’s cinemas, it should alarm the world like a beaten drum econ.st/3VDcrn1
2) The First Slam Dunk (🇯🇵 film) and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3. also made great numbers at the box office in China
3) Top Gun: Maverick was also sponsored by the US military, they even co-wrote the script according to @spyculture
