Investor Ms. Yang Yue (center left), Mr. Siao Long (center right), Business Manager of Shineway Media Family Office According to Mr. Xiao Long, the Head of Home Office Business at Shinshot Media, "OY TO THE WORLD" is a romantic comedy that will feature scenes shot in various locations across the United States and Europe. The aim is to create a romantic and charming atmosphere to captivate the audience. As the main controlling entity of the film, Shinshot Media intends to leverage the global market to ensure the investors' returns and strive for domestic audiences to be among the first to experience this Hollywood movie, which is mainly managed by Chinese contributors. In recent years, the film industry has been one of the hardest-hit sectors, with long-standing stagnation in the growth of domestic movie theaters and disruptions in production for film crews. The morale of industry professionals plummeted, and the import film market was also influenced by multiple factors. However, with the gradual improvement of the situation, the Chinese film industry is poised for a resurgence. Both upstream and downstream companies in the film industry may witness a recovery in performance and valuations, heralding a new phase of explosive growth. Taking advantage of these favorable conditions, Beijing's Shinshot Media, although a newcomer to the film industry, has taken the initiative to explore a collaborative model for Hollywood movies with full-process control, all the while focusing on Hollywood while looking out to the world. The company combines its strengths in film and finance to not only boldly experiment in the artistic aspect but also effectively tell Chinese stories on the international stage. Ms. Yang Yue, the investor, and Mr. Xiao Long, the head of the business of Flash Shuttle Media, signed a contract Following the ceremony, Ms. Yang Yue, the investment representative, expressed, "As a student who loves movies, I have witnessed how Shinshot Media has laid the groundwork for capital in the film industry and driven industry development and innovation. This has strengthened my love for and sense of mission towards the film and television industry. I believe that both movie enthusiasts and investors should have a global perspective and clear long-term investment goals. We should not only dare to invest independently but also attract high-quality capital and engage in orderly and regulated investment practices. Moreover, we should focus on building a comprehensive film industry chain and actively invest in the overall industry environment and new technologies. Only then can we better serve the creation of film content and promote the high-quality development of the film industry." Ms. Yang stressed the importance of the artistry in film creation and the audience's experience. She believes that movies are not merely commercial products but also a form of art that conveys emotions and ideas. Only by consistently creating high-quality film works that meet the emotional needs of the audience can one stand out in the competitive landscape. Ms. Wang Meiqin, the Assistant to the Chairman of Shinshot Media and Vice President of Human Resources, who hosted the event, also stated that Shinshot looks forward to more capital participation, providing support for the internationalization of the film industry and accelerating the industrialization of the Chinese film and television sector. She hopes that more investors will pay attention to the film and television industry, and in return, the film industry will offer safer, more sustainable, and diversified return expectations. It's all about sowing the seeds today and reaping the rewards tomorrow. Wang Meiqin, assistant chairman and Vice President of Human Resources, and Mr. Xiao Long, head of the business office of Lightning Shuttle Media Mr. Jonas Hu, the CEO and Founder of Shinshot Media, shared his unique insights into the relationship between the film industry and capital.

The film industry, in turn, provides a broader stage for capital and offers diverse investment opportunities. Only through cooperation with capital can the film industry continually innovate and explore new possibilities.
