About the Light Version

（Available on Amazon/Google play books）

The 35-page Light Version of Future Playbook provides a complete high-level overview of China’s short-drama monetization models and ecosystem structure.

About the FULL Version

(Payhip Exclusive Edition)

The definitive 138-page edition of Future Playbook offers in-depth case studies, platform analysis, and real production insights from China’s short-drama ecosystem, now the world’s most advanced market in this field.

Written for investors, fund managers, and senior decision-makers at film, television, game, and MCN companies, as well as producers and media entrepreneurs, this playbook examines how China’s companies, platforms, and production structures operate — revealing a system that is two years ahead of global markets.

By studying the Chinese model, readers gain a clear framework for understanding how overseas markets are likely to evolve, where value creation and returns will emerge, and what areas require early strategic positioning.

Authored by Wenwen (Maggie) Han, an independent producer and former platform producer, who has consulted directly with Chinese platform co-founders and production teams, this book transforms first-hand access and original research into actionable insight for global readers.

🔍 Inside the Book

• Case studies of China’s top short-drama companies, investment structures, and distribution strategies.
• A breakdown of leading MCN company (A creator management and digital media company) MaiYa (麦芽) and how it rose to become a major platform.
• Detailed analysis of small and mid-size platforms — including team structure, talent composition, and salary models.
• Exploration of how Zhengzhou became the “short-drama capital of China”, driven by industrialization and policy.

🌍 Why It Matters

While this playbook focuses entirely on China’s short-drama ecosystem, its findings hold strategic value for overseas investors and entrepreneurs.

As China leads the global short-drama race by at least two years, the patterns, business models, and platform logics outlined here provide a preview of what’s coming next worldwide.

If you want to understand where short dramas, ad-driven content, and interactive IP are heading next — this is the Future Playbook.
