So you were saying there was a flood of hot money, short-term, speculative, opportunistic investment driving the entertainment industry 10 years ago. Then came the rise of social media and the internet, which opened the floodgates to content of all kinds. With that surge, naturally, came a lot of junk, low quality, and poorly produced material that overwhelmed the industry.
You mentioned something interesting, micro drama series. This format seems to have gained traction in China. What exactly is a micro drama series in a Chinese context? How does it differ from traditional format? And what's driving its popularity?
So you're saying that these micro drama series are essentially a volume-driven strategy by tech companies They invest in creating content such as hiring writers to craft stories and shooting short series. The initial episodes are free, drawing in viewers, and once the audience is hooked, they introduce a paywall starting around episode 11.
It sounds like a clever subscription model, and I imagine they also monetize through advertisements. Your industry, in the Chinese context, is people-focused and people-driven. Engaging with so many different parties is essential to getting things done, but in the U.S., for example,
With the launch of OpenAI and other AI-driven tech companies, industries like media, news, and Hollywood have felt significant ripple effects. We've seen things like strikes in Hollywood over concerns about job losses. with AI potentially replacing roles like script writers, producers, and others in the production process. What about China? AI is a hot topic there.
In your industry, have you seen AI being integrated yet? Or maybe it's already causing some tension or discussions about its potential impact?
Speaking of AI versus human, I have to bring up your book, Light of Story. It's in Chinese, not yet available in English, but it's more than a guide on how to tell stories in TV and film. It's also about using stories to create both commercial and social impact. One phrase from the book really stood out to me.
Translated into English, it says, human nature remains unchanged, but people's hearts are changing. That feels so true and philosophical, perhaps influenced by your sociology background. So given your understanding of the past and the future of the entertainment industry in China, what are some of your future plans? for your company?

Hi, everyone. Welcome to our show, Chief Change Officer. I'm Vince Chan, your ambitious human host. Our show is a modernist community for change progressives in organizational and human transformation from around the world. Today, I'm joined by Nellie Wotoff, someone I like to call the chief change officer behind Change Leaders.
Originally from Europe, she spent years in Asia, especially in Singapore, working across cultures. Now based in U.S., Nellie is the founder and CEO of Tiger Hall, a tech-driven platform helping organizations navigate change more effectively. This is part one of a two-part series.
In these episodes, we'll dive into navigating cultural differences across three regions, why most change initiatives fail, and how to set up for success. If you've ever struggled with change, whether in your career, company, or life, this series is for you. Let's get started. What triggered you to start this company in the very first place?
When it comes to change, a lot of it goes beyond technology. It's ultimately rooted in human behavior and cultural nuances. you've had the unique experience of living and working across Europe, Asia, and now the US, which brings with it an incredible range of perspectives.
Given your background and your exposure to diverse clients, I'm curious, how do you see cultural differences play out when it comes to people's reactions to change, Even the concept of change itself, whether it is a mindset shift or a full-scale transformation, can vary dramatically across regions.
Have you noticed any significant differences or similarities in how these cultures approach and perceive change? And how do you adapt your solutions to help clients tackle those cultural nuances more effectively?
You told me some intriguing insights from your experiences, specifically why certain change initiatives fail while others succeed. You pointed out that there are common pitfalls that lead to failure and that understanding can uncover valuable opportunities to set the stage for success. Could you share with us some of those common reasons for failure?
Maybe you've seen recurring patterns, or perhaps you can recall specific examples without naming names of how these failures played out. And on the flip side, what approaches have you found to be especially effective in laying the groundwork for a successful change initiative?
Fear, ego, emotions, and office politics exist everywhere, regardless of culture, gender, or age. My friend's story about working in a big bank in Asia captures a common sentiment, that is, frustration about change management tools or processes that still imposed rather than embraced. She mentioned how the software forced employees to fit into his framework rather than adapting to their needs.
And the feedback process, she described it as a formality where no one feels safe or motivated to speak the truth, just filling in responses for the sake of it. That sense of disengagement is palpable. I'm curious, from your perspective, have you encountered similar resistance in your work?
How do you ensure that tools or processes don't just check the box for change but actually engage and empower the people they are meant to serve?
