  • Huya (HUYA): Winner Takes All
    JAGUAR MEDIA AUG 3RD, 2020 UPDATED AUG 6TH, 2020 (see end of research note) “CHINESE TECH DEMYSTIFIED” SERIES – EPISODE 2 DouYu (DOYU) & Huya (HUYA): Winner Takes All Often referred to as China’s Twitch equivalents, DouYu and Huya are the providers of China’s biggest game livestreaming platforms. In Chinese, DouYu means “fighting fish”, while Huya is a nonsensical phrase where “Hu” means “tiger” and “ya” means “tooth”. Hence why the latter’s logo is a tiger with teeth. As a company, Huya was a late-2014 spinoff from JOYY (previously known as YY), with the latter as the new entity’s biggest shareholder. However, in 2018, Tencent acquired a 35% stake in Huya with an option to boost its control to 50.1% within the period March 8th, 2020 and March 8th, 2021. Then in April 2020, Tencent proceeded to exercise that option, effectively becoming Huya’s biggest controlling shareholder as JOYY's stake was reduced to 43% from 56%. Meanwhile, DouYu began as a livestreaming sub-segment of AcFun, a video hosting platform geared towards animation and games. But due to constant ownership issues and former employees leaving to start up their own competing businesses, a lot of spinoffs resulted from AcFun (including Bilibili, which we’ll cover another time). And not liking the direction AcFun was headed, DouYu founder Chen Shaojie decided in 2014 to sever ties with the parent company and run DouYu as its own entity. Then in 2018, Tencent invested ¥4B in DouYu in exchange for a controlling stake, on the very same day it acquired its 35% stake in Huya (see above).

  • Chinese Grocery's Age of Empires
    CHINESE GROCERY’S AGE OF EMPIRES TWO GIANT GROUPINGS ARE CARVING UP THE MARKET CHINESE GROCERY’S AGE OF EMPIRES Chinese retail is evolving into two rival empires, each dominated by competing e-commerce giants. One realm is centered on Alibaba, which owns two of China’s largest e-commerce platforms, Taobao and TMall, as well as an electronic payments system, AliPay. The other is an alliance between JD, a leading online retailer, and Tencent, an internet and digital-technology conglomerate that owns WeChat, China’s most popular social-media app. These two empires already own the digital lives of Chinese consumers today, where the average Chinese spends over 60% of their mobile app usage on either ecosystem. Now Alibaba and Tencent/JD have set their sights on physical retail, including acquiring stakes in six of China’s top 10 hypermarkets, the country’s biggest electronics retailer, one of the largest department stores and the largest commercial property and entertainment conglomerate.

  • Bilibili (BILI): a Leader in ACG with Room to Grow
    JAGUAR MEDIA SEPT 8TH, 2020 “CHINESE TECH DEMYSTIFIED” SERIES – EPISODE 5 Bilibili (BILI): A leader in ACG with room to grow Bilibili is often labeled as China’s version of YouTube, but that comparison is only half-accurate. Fundamentally, it is a video sharing and vlogging platform. But if we dig a little deeper, we will find that it caters almost exclusively to a dedicated under-30’s crowd while shunning older audiences, and the video content is overwhelmingly focused on animation, comics, and games (or ACG in short), fashion, pop culture, and music. No news, no politics, no academic discourse, no finance, none of that mundane stuff. Bilibili was founded in 2009 with the intention of being a worthy ACG competitor to AcFun (recall AcFun is the former parent company of DouYu). Bilibili’s founder Xu Yi was formerly a top user with a huge following on AcFun, but grew increasingly frustrated over time with community and website-related issues. And following a series of high-profile disagreements with AcFun management, he decided to sever ties and create Bilibili on the back of funding from now-CEO Chen Rui, a games/animation-loving billionaire investor who currently owns over 20% of the company. Before long, Bilibili saw significant traffic, enough to challenge AcFun’s. Due to this rivalry and history, Bilibili is commonly referred to by the Chinese internet community as “B Site” or “Station B”, while AcFun is nicknamed “A Site” or “Station A”. Fun fact: The word “Bilibili” doesn’t have any literal meaning. Rather, it is a playful reference to a main character from A Certain Scientific Railgun, a popular comic/animation series at the time, whereby “Bilibili” is the sound she makes when firing her weapon.

  • How Chinese Television Found Its Way out of the Box
    International Journal of Communication 10(2016), 5426–5443 1932–8036/20160005 Disconnecting, Connecting, and Reconnecting: How Chinese Television Found Its Way Out of the Box MICHAEL KEANE1 Curtin University, Australia The emergence of online platforms dispensing TV content in China has transformed conventional understandings of Chinese media. Online video companies have revitalized the Chinese media industry while throwing out challenges to the government. Three disruptive moments illustrate how Chinese television is regulated, distributed, and accessed: disconnecting, connecting, and reconnecting. I examine some of the leading online platforms and consider the growing power of Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent—known as the “kingmakers” of the Chinese Internet. I describe how the Internet has created an unprecedented transformation in China’s television industry and how “Internet television” is disrupting the formerly stable and heavily managed sector. Finally, the article explores how new technologies of distribution are allowing Chinese culture to internationalize and to “reconnect” with Chinese-speaking communities. Keywords: Internet television, television, China, digital disruption, soft power When James Lull published China Turned On: Television, Reform and Resistance in 1991, the People’s Republic of China was in the midst of an upsurge in media production, spurred on by economic reforms that allowed many millions of people to buy television receivers, then a much-desired consumer item. Lull (1991) depicts Chinese viewers gathered around the TV as a family unit, watching serial dramas. The television receiver is a rectangular box in the living room disseminating government messages and entertainment—mainly serial drama—to an enthralled audience. In the decades that followed, television evolved.

  • Analysis of Chinese Video Website Barrage Language Based on the Influence of the ACGN Culture
    International Journal of Internet, Broadcasting and Communication Vol.13 No.2 195-207 (2021) http://dx.doi.org/10.7236/IJIBC.2021.13.2.195 IJIBC 21-2-25 Analysis of Chinese Video Website Barrage Language Based On the Influence Of The ACGN Culture JiHui Yan, Yang Pan, Taesoo Yun Doctor, Department of Visual Contents, Dongseo University, China Doctor, Department of Visual Contents, Dongseo University, China Professor, Department of Game, College of Software Convergence, Dongseo University, South Korea. [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract In recent years, with the rapid growth of China’s animation industry, the two-dimensional culture and consumption have been immersed in the daily lives of young people. The two-dimensional culture that mainly exists on young people is gradually entering the public’s field of vision, making the two-dimensional culture not It is only restricted to the fixed fan circle, but is known to more people outside the circle. At the same time, the "barrage" (screen text) cultures in video websites has become popular with some film and television works, Internet terms, etc., and has attracted the attention on mainstream culture. On the one hand, its cultural products have appeared on traditional mainstream video websites and advertisements on provincial satellite TV. And in the program, on the other hand, a small part of the screen text and cultural terms are also used by some celebrities and other ordinary people who don’t understand the meaning of the terms at all, and have caused widespread dissemination. Sometimes the video website itself is also mentioned, which obviously shows a difference.

  • Video-Streaming Platform Turned Mobile-Gaming Operator Bilibili Sets
    Publication date: 06 Mar 2018 Author: Chenyu Cui Senior Research Analyst, Games Video-streaming platform turned mobile- gaming operator Bilibili sets sights on $400million IPO Brought to you by Informa Tech Video-streaming platform turned mobile- 1 gaming operator Bilibili sets sights on $400million IPO Bilibili sets sights on $400 million IPO According to a prospectus filed on 2 March, Bilibili, the online entertainment platform covering video, live broadcasting and mobile games, plans to list on the New York Stock Exchange. Bilibili business was initially centered on the Anime, Comic and Games (ACG) industry and has developed into a comprehensive content platform. ACG content has become very popular in China and is influenced by Japanese anime and video games. Our analysis Bilibili started out as a video-streaming platform that went on to establish a large userbase interested in ACG content, and then moved into aggressive monetization through a variety of approaches: film production, membership subscription as well as involvement in sponsorship of sports championships, i.e. the Chinese Basketball Association. However, only its game operation has brought a scalable revenue stream and contributed to its IPO progress. In 2017, revenue from mobile games accounted for 83.4% of its total revenue compared to the rest from live broadcasting and advertising. The prospectus indicates that the platform has average MAUs of 67 million and generated revenue of $379.3 million in 2017. Mobile games are key to Bilibili's recent performance but sustaining this performance will be a challenge Among the eight exclusively distributed mobile games and 63 games under joint operation, Fate/Grand Order was the driver for revenue growth in 2017.

  • SOCIAL MEDIA TRENDS 2018 One of the Trends We Highlighted for 2017 Was How Big Social Media Networks in Were Trying to Transform Their Image, Amid Some Bad Publicity
    SOCIAL MEDIA TRENDS 2018 One of the trends we highlighted for 2017 was how big social media networks IN were trying to transform their image, amid some bad publicity. Examples at that time included Snapchat’s rebranding at the end of 2016, Pinterest’s new positioning as a ‘catalogue of ideas’, expanding beyond the realm of a social network and even Twitter switching its designation from a ‘Social Network’ to a ‘News’ app in the App Store. Behind this shift in strategy lies a desire for networks to evolve and become an ever-growing part of our lives. Social networks have advanced so much since their early beginnings that it TR is now difficult to confine them to being described by words like ‘social’ or ‘media’. Digital is also a reductive definition when pure players redouble in ingenuity to anchor themselves in both physical and digital environments; ‘phygital’ might, therefore, be a better descriptor. What’s also interesting is how the landscape is currently evolving. In the past, we had seen newcomers trying to compete with established ‘social networks’. Now the competition comes from many other players. Amazon’s launch of OD Spark, a social network for its shoppers or its powerful advertising platform, which directly competes with players like Facebook, is an example of this. FAMGA (Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon) as they are now referred to are becoming so ubiquitous in the digital world that you would have to be living under a rock to avoid them. The rise of home assistant devices like Amazon Echo, Google Home or the coming Facebook Aloha are yet another example that proves these giant’s goal to become seamlessly UC integrated into daily life.
