  session.
• 0:56
  Lots
• 0:56
  of
• 0:56
  really
• 0:57
  interesting
• 0:57
  points
• 0:57
  to
• 0:57
  say.
• 0:58
  And
• 0:58
  in
• 0:58
  the
• 0:58
  middle
• 0:58
  of
• 0:58
  the
• 0:59
  mob,
• 0:59
  I
• 0:59
  managed
• 0:59
  to
• 0:59
  just
• 1:00
  drop
• 1:00
  my
• 1:00
  card
• 1:01
  to
• 1:01
  her
• 1:01
  and
• 1:01
  say,
• 1:01
  sydney,
• 1:02
  I
• 1:02
  have
• 1:02
  a
• 1:02
  podcast.
• 1:03
  Come
• 1:03
  talk
• 1:03
  to
• 1:03
  us.
• 1:04
  I
• 1:04
  don't
• 1:04
  need
• 1:04
  to
• 1:04
  talk
• 1:05
  to
• 1:05
  you
• 1:05
  now.
• 1:05
  There's
• 1:05
  far
• 1:05
  too
• 1:05
  many
• 1:06
  people
• 1:06
  swarming
• 1:06
  you.
• 1:07
  Let's
• 1:07
  connect
• 1:07
  later.
• 1:08
  And
• 1:08
  so
• 1:08
  this
• 1:08
  is
• 1:08
  the
• 1:08
  genesis
• 1:09
  of
• 1:09
  that
• 1:09
  conversation.
• 1:10
  So
• 1:10
  good
• 1:10
  to
• 1:10
  have
• 1:10
  you,
• 1:10
  Sydney.
• 1:12
  Yes.
• 1:12
  I'm
• 1:12
  so
• 1:12
  excited
• 1:13
  to
• 1:13
  be
• 1:13
  here.
• 1:13
  It
• 1:13
  was
• 1:14
  a.
• 1:14
  It
• 1:14
  was
• 1:14
  a
• 1:14
  great
• 1:14
  presentation.
• 1:15
  It's
• 1:16
  always
• 1:16
  nice
• 1:16
  when
• 1:16
  people
• 1:17
  are
• 1:17
  responding
• 1:17
  to
• 1:18
  what
• 1:18
  you're
• 1:18
  saying
• 1:18
  because
• 1:19
  sometimes
• 1:19
  you're
• 1:19
  up
• 1:19
  there
• 1:20
  and
• 1:20
  you're
• 1:20
  like,
• 1:21
  is
• 1:21
  this
• 1:21
  making
• 1:21
  sense?
• 1:22
  Is
• 1:22
  this
• 1:23
  connecting?
• 1:23
  Are
• 1:24
  people
• 1:24
  enjoying
• 1:24
  this?
• 1:25
  Yeah.
• 1:26
  Oh,
• 1:26
  my
• 1:26
  gosh,
• 1:27
  no.
• 1:27
  I
• 1:27
  thought
• 1:27
  it
• 1:27
  was
• 1:28
  a
• 1:28
  really
• 1:28
  good
• 1:28
  session,
• 1:29
  loaded
• 1:29
  with
• 1:29
  loads
• 1:30
  of
• 1:30
  details.
• 1:30
  And
• 1:30
  that's
• 1:31
  why
• 1:31
  I
• 1:31
  was
• 1:31
  like,
• 1:31
  you
• 1:31
  need
• 1:32
  to
• 1:32
  come
• 1:32
  on
• 1:32
  the
• 1:32
  podcast
• 1:32
  and
• 1:33
  tell
• 1:33
  us
• 1:33
  a
• 1:33
  little
• 1:33
  bit
• 1:33
  about
• 1:34
  what
• 1:34
  you're
• 1:34
  up
• 1:34
  to.
• 1:35
  Because
• 1:35
  I've
• 1:36
  been
• 1:36
  following
• 1:36
  the
• 1:36
  Webtoon
• 1:36
  platform
• 1:37
  for
• 1:37
  a
• 1:37
  number
• 1:37
  of
• 1:37
  years
• 1:37
  now.
• 1:38
  It's
• 1:38
  a
• 1:38
  really
• 1:38
  interesting
• 1:39
  platform,
• 1:39
  but
• 1:39
  I'd
• 1:39
  love
• 1:39
  you
• 1:39
  to
• 1:40
  just
• 1:40
  explain
• 1:40
  to
• 1:40
  our
• 1:40
  listeners
• 1:41
  what
• 1:41
  it
• 1:41
  is
• 1:41
  at
• 1:42
  a
• 1:42
  basic
• 1:42
  level
• 1:42
  and
• 1:43
  then
• 1:43
  what
• 1:43
  you
• 1:43
  do
• 1:43
  for
• 1:44
  Webtoon.
• 1:45
  Yeah,
• 1:45
  of
• 1:45
  course.
• 1:46
  So
• 1:49
  lots
• 1:50
  of
• 1:50
  W's
• 1:50
  at
• 1:50
  this
• 1:51
  company.
• 1:52
  Webtoon
• 1:52
  is
• 1:53
  essentially
• 1:53
  the
• 1:53
  world's
• 1:53
  leading
• 1:54
  digital
• 1:54
  comic
• 1:54
  publishing
• 1:55
  platform.
• 1:56
  So
• 1:57
  they
• 1:57
  really
• 1:57
  pioneered
• 1:58
  the
• 1:58
  vertical
• 1:58
  scroll.
• 1:59
  The
• 1:59
  company
• 1:59
  was
• 2:00
  founded
• 2:00
  in
• 2:00
  Korea
• 2:02
  and
• 2:02
  to
• 2:03
  date
• 2:03
  has
• 2:03
  about
• 2:03
  145
• 2:04
  million
• 2:05
  monthly
• 2:05
  active
• 2:06
  users.
• 2:06
  And
• 2:07
  for
• 2:07
  context,
• 2:08
  those
• 2:08
  monthly
• 2:08
  active
• 2:09
  users
• 2:09
  spend
• 2:10
  about
• 2:10
  30
• 2:10
  plus
• 2:11
  minutes
• 2:11
  a
• 2:11
  day
• 2:12
  actively
• 2:13
  reading
• 2:13
  on
• 2:14
  the
• 2:14
  platform.
• 2:16
  So
• 2:16
  the
• 2:16
  comics
• 2:16
  that
• 2:16
  are
• 2:17
  on
• 2:17
  the
• 2:17
  platform,
• 2:17
  they're
• 2:17
  Vertical
• 2:18
  scroll,
• 2:18
  which
• 2:19
  is
• 2:19
  really
• 2:20
  unique
• 2:20
  to
• 2:20
  that
• 2:21
  platform.
• 2:22
  There's
• 2:23
  certainly
• 2:23
  a
• 2:23
  number
• 2:23
  of
• 2:24
  competitive
• 2:26
  similar
• 2:26
  platforms
• 2:27
  at
• 2:27
  this
• 2:27
  point
• 2:28
  that
• 2:28
  have
• 2:28
  a
• 2:28
  very
• 2:29
  similar
• 2:29
  structure,
• 2:29
  but
• 2:29
  we
• 2:30
  are
• 2:30
  the
• 2:30
  capital
• 2:30
  W
• 2:31
  Webtoon
• 2:32
  in
• 2:32
  the
• 2:32
  sense
• 2:32
  of
• 2:32
  like
• 2:33
  crayon
• 2:33
  or
• 2:34
  Kleenex.
• 2:36
  That
• 2:36
  really
• 2:36
  was
• 2:37
  kind
• 2:37
  of
• 2:37
  punch
• 2:37
  pioneered
• 2:38
  by
• 2:38
  this
• 2:39
  wonderful
• 2:39
  company.
• 2:41
  And
• 2:41
  essentially
• 2:41
  it's
• 2:42
  really
• 2:42
  kind
• 2:42
  of
• 2:42
  a
• 2:42
  democratization
• 2:43
  of
• 2:43
  storytelling.
• 2:44
  So
• 2:46
  essentially
• 2:47
  any,
• 2:47
  anyone
• 2:48
  anywhere
• 2:49
  in
• 2:49
  the
• 2:49
  world
• 2:49
  can
• 2:50
  create
• 2:50
  a
• 2:50
  digital
• 2:51
  comic
• 2:51
  and
• 2:51
  upload
• 2:52
  it
• 2:52
  to
• 2:52
  the
• 2:52
  platform.
• 2:53
  So
• 2:53
  very
• 2:54
  similar
• 2:54
  to
• 2:54
  YouTube
• 2:55
  in
• 2:55
  the
• 2:55
  sense
• 2:55
  that
• 2:55
  that
• 2:55
  is
• 2:56
  an
• 2:56
  open
• 2:56
  forum
• 2:56
  for
• 2:57
  user
• 2:57
  generated
• 2:58
  content.
• 2:59
  That
• 2:59
  is
• 2:59
  what
• 3:00
  webtoon
• 3:00
  is
• 3:01
  for,
• 3:02
  for
• 3:02
  comics.
• 3:04
  And
• 3:04
  we
• 3:04
  have
• 3:04
  all
• 3:05
  sorts
• 3:05
  of
• 3:05
  genres
• 3:07
  existing
• 3:07
  on
• 3:08
  the
• 3:08
  platform,
• 3:08
  everything
• 3:09
  from
• 3:09
  horror
• 3:10
  to
• 3:10
  fantasy
• 3:10
  to
• 3:10
  sci
• 3:10
  fi
• 3:11
  to
• 3:11
  thriller,
• 3:12
  slice
• 3:13
  of
• 3:13
  life
• 3:13
  and
• 3:13
  comedy
• 3:14
  and
• 3:14
  everything
• 3:14
  else.
• 3:15
  So
• 3:15
  it's
• 3:16
  really
• 3:16
  a
• 3:16
  beautiful
• 3:16
  kind
• 3:17
  of
• 3:17
  melting
• 3:17
  pot
• 3:17
  for
• 3:18
  storytellers
• 3:19
  all
• 3:19
  over
• 3:19
  the
• 3:19
  world
• 3:19
  to
• 3:19
  be
• 3:19
  able
• 3:20
  to
• 3:20
  kind
• 3:20
  of
• 3:21
  start
• 3:21
  to
• 3:21
  kickstart
• 3:22
  their
• 3:22
  own
• 3:23
  stories
• 3:23
  and
• 3:23
  their
• 3:24
  own
• 3:24
  audience
• 3:24
  base
• 3:25
  on
• 3:26
  an
• 3:26
  existing
• 3:26
  platform
• 3:27
  with
• 3:27
  a
• 3:27
  really
• 3:28
  huge
• 3:28
  user
• 3:28
  base,
• 3:29
  which
• 3:29
  is
• 3:29
  really
• 3:29
  exciting.
• 3:32
  And
• 3:32
  who
• 3:32
  can
• 3:32
  publish
• 3:33
  on
• 3:33
  there?
• 3:33
  Just
• 3:34
  tell
• 3:34
  us
• 3:34
  how
• 3:35
  does
• 3:35
  a
• 3:35
  creator
• 3:35
  get
• 3:36
  started?
• 3:37
  Yeah,
• 3:38
  so
• 3:38
  really
• 3:39
  anyone
• 3:39
  can
• 3:39
  publish
• 3:40
  to
• 3:40
  the
• 3:40
  platform,
• 3:41
  which
• 3:41
  is
• 3:41
  what's
• 3:42
  really
• 3:42
  fantastic.
• 3:43
  So
• 3:43
  it
• 3:44
  is
• 3:44
  truly
• 3:44
  UGC
• 3:45
  creators
• 3:46
  all
• 3:46
  over
• 3:46
  the
• 3:46
  world.
• 3:48
  And
• 3:48
  it's
• 3:48
  I
• 3:49
  think
• 3:49
  probably
• 3:50
  most
• 3:50
  user
• 3:50
  friendly
• 3:51
  to
• 3:51
  people
• 3:51
  who
• 3:51
  are
• 3:52
  artist
• 3:52
  driven
• 3:53
  first
• 3:53
  or
• 3:53
  at
• 3:54
  least
• 3:54
  have
• 3:54
  a
• 3:54
  team
• 3:54
  of
• 3:54
  folks.
• 3:55
  So
• 3:55
  we
• 3:56
  see
• 3:56
  a
• 3:56
  lot
• 3:56
  of
• 3:56
  our
• 3:57
  creators,
• 3:58
  if
• 3:58
  they
• 3:58
  are
• 3:58
  kind
• 3:58
  of
• 3:59
  a
• 3:59
  one
• 3:59
  stop
• 3:59
  shop
• 3:59
  in
• 4:00
  terms
• 4:00
  of
• 4:00
  being
• 4:00
  able
• 4:00
  to
• 4:00
  write
• 4:01
  and
• 4:01
  illustrate
• 4:02
  their
• 4:02
  own,
• 4:03
  they
• 4:03
  can
• 4:03
  go
• 4:04
  off
• 4:04
  and
• 4:04
  create
• 4:05
  their,
• 4:05
  their
• 4:05
  own
• 4:05
  webcomic.
• 4:07
  And
• 4:07
  then
• 4:07
  sometimes
• 4:07
  we
• 4:08
  see
• 4:08
  teams
• 4:08
  of
• 4:08
  people
• 4:09
  and
• 4:09
  we
• 4:10
  also
• 4:10
  see
• 4:10
  an
• 4:10
  evolution
• 4:11
  of
• 4:11
  teams
• 4:11
  of
• 4:11
  people.
• 4:12
  So
• 4:13
  a
• 4:13
  wonderful
• 4:13
  creator
• 4:14
  named
• 4:14
  Rachel
• 4:14
  Smyth
• 4:15
  who
• 4:15
  created
• 4:15
  Lore
• 4:16
  Olympus
• 4:16
  for
• 4:16
  many
• 4:16
  years.
• 4:17
  Rachel
• 4:17
  was
• 4:18
  just
• 4:18
  kind
• 4:18
  of
• 4:19
  the
• 4:19
  engine
• 4:19
  behind
• 4:20
  that
• 4:20
  property.
• 4:21
  And
• 4:21
  then
• 4:22
  as
• 4:22
  the
• 4:22
  comic
• 4:22
  grew
• 4:23
  and
• 4:24
  you
• 4:25
  know,
• 4:25
  continued
• 4:26
  to
• 4:26
  have
• 4:26
  season
• 4:27
  after
• 4:27
  season
• 4:27
  after
• 4:28
  season,
• 4:28
  she
• 4:28
  brought
• 4:29
  on
• 4:29
  other
• 4:29
  stuff,
• 4:30
  support
• 4:30
  staff
• 4:30
  to
• 4:30
  kind
• 4:31
  of
• 4:31
  help
• 4:31
  her
• 4:32
  in
• 4:32
  terms
• 4:33
  of
• 4:33
  artists
• 4:33
  and
• 4:34
  things
• 4:34
  to
• 4:34
  kind
• 4:34
  of
• 4:34
  execute
• 4:35
  in
• 4:35
  her
• 4:35
  style
• 4:36
  alongside
• 4:36
  her.
• 4:36
  So
• 4:37
  really
• 4:37
  anyone
• 4:38
  can
• 4:38
  publish.
• 4:38
  It
• 4:39
  is
• 4:39
  an
• 4:39
  open
• 4:40
  publishing
• 4:40
  ecosystem.
• 4:42
  I
• 4:42
  think
• 4:42
  the
• 4:42
  limitations
• 4:43
  really
• 4:43
  are
• 4:44
  are
• 4:44
  you
• 4:44
  following
• 4:45
  the
• 4:45
  community
• 4:45
  guidelines
• 4:46
  and
• 4:46
  you
• 4:47
  know,
• 4:47
  so
• 4:47
  long
• 4:47
  as
• 4:47
  you're
• 4:48
  being
• 4:48
  appropriate
• 4:48
  and
• 4:49
  doing
• 4:49
  those
• 4:50
  things,
• 4:50
  anyone
• 4:51
  can
• 4:51
  publish.
• 4:51
  Which
• 4:52
  is
• 4:52
  really
• 4:53
  exciting.
• 4:53
  And
• 4:53
  I
• 4:54
  think
• 4:54
  what
• 4:56
  really
• 4:56
  what
• 4:57
  kind
• 4:57
  of
• 4:57
  captured
• 4:58
  my
• 4:58
  interest
• 4:59
  so
• 4:59
  early
• 4:59
  in
• 4:59
  joining
• 5:00
  this
• 5:00
  company
• 5:00
  was
• 5:01
  because
• 5:02
  of
• 5:02
  that,
• 5:02
  because
• 5:02
  it
• 5:03
  is
• 5:03
  an
• 5:03
  opportunity
• 5:04
  for
• 5:04
  publishing
• 5:04
  for
• 5:05
  really
• 5:05
  anyone.
• 5:06
  You
• 5:07
  end
• 5:07
  up
• 5:07
  seeing
• 5:07
  such
• 5:08
  an
• 5:08
  amazing
• 5:09
  array
• 5:10
  of
• 5:11
  representation
• 5:12
  and
• 5:12
  diversity
• 5:13
  across
• 5:13
  storytelling.
• 5:15
  Whereas
• 5:15
  I
• 5:15
  think
• 5:16
  traditional
• 5:16
  media
• 5:16
  has
• 5:17
  been
• 5:17
  very
• 5:17
  difficult
• 5:18
  for,
• 5:18
  you
• 5:19
  know,
• 5:19
  some
• 5:19
  demographics
• 5:20
  or
• 5:20
  even
• 5:20
  some
• 5:21
  regions
• 5:21
  of
• 5:21
  the
• 5:21
  world
• 5:22
  to
• 5:22
  be
• 5:22
  able
• 5:22
  to
• 5:23
  kind
• 5:23
  of
• 5:24
  traditional
• 5:24
  media.
• 5:25
  And
• 5:25
  I
• 5:25
  think
• 5:25
  that's
• 5:26
  been
• 5:27
  really
• 5:27
  incredible.
• 5:28
  Like
• 5:28
  there's
• 5:29
  an
• 5:29
  amazing
• 5:30
  comic
• 5:30
  called
• 5:31
  Ordeal
• 5:32
  and
• 5:33
  that
• 5:33
  creator
• 5:34
  is,
• 5:35
  is
• 5:35
  Trinidadian
• 5:36
  and
• 5:37
  You
• 5:38
  know,
• 5:38
  we
• 5:38
  have
• 5:39
  creators
• 5:39
  in
• 5:39
  New
• 5:39
  Zealand
• 5:40
  and
• 5:40
  creators
• 5:40
  in
• 5:41
  the
• 5:41
  UK
• 5:41
  and
• 5:42
  Spain
• 5:42
  and
• 5:42
  Canada
• 5:43
  and
• 5:44
  really
• 5:44
  just
• 5:45
  the
• 5:45
  far
• 5:45
  reachings
• 5:46
  of
• 5:46
  the
• 5:46
  world.
• 5:47
  So
• 5:47
  it's,
• 5:47
  it's
• 5:48
  really
• 5:48
  amazing
• 5:48
  to
• 5:49
  see
• 5:50
  just
• 5:50
  these
• 5:50
  storytellers
• 5:51
  come
• 5:51
  from,
• 5:52
  from
• 5:52
  everywhere
• 5:52
  and
• 5:53
  be
• 5:53
  able
• 5:53
  to
• 5:54
  publish
• 5:54
  on
• 5:54
  the
• 5:54
  platform.
• 5:55
  And
• 5:56
  what's
• 5:56
  the,
• 5:56
  and
• 5:56
  what's
• 5:57
  the
• 5:57
  process
• 5:57
  to
• 5:57
  onboard
• 5:58
  for
• 5:58
  those
• 5:58
  storytellers?
• 5:59
  How,
• 6:00
  how
• 6:00
  easy
• 6:00
  is
• 6:01
  it
• 6:01
  for
• 6:01
  them
• 6:01
  to
• 6:01
  kind
• 6:01
  of
• 6:02
  get
• 6:02
  started?
• 6:03
  Yeah,
• 6:03
  so
• 6:03
  there's,
• 6:04
  there's
• 6:04
  really
• 6:04
  two
• 6:05
  different
• 6:05
  sides
• 6:05
  of
• 6:06
  the
• 6:06
  Webtoon
• 6:06
  platform.
• 6:07
  So
• 6:07
  there's
• 6:07
  the
• 6:07
  canvas
• 6:08
  side
• 6:08
  which
• 6:08
  is
• 6:08
  truly
• 6:09
  open
• 6:09
  ugc.
• 6:10
  So
• 6:11
  there's,
• 6:11
  there's
• 6:12
  no
• 6:12
  curation
• 6:12
  so
• 6:13
  long
• 6:13
  as
• 6:13
  you're
• 6:13
  following
• 6:13
  community
• 6:14
  guidelines
• 6:14
  and
• 6:14
  rules
• 6:15
  and
• 6:16
  you
• 6:16
  can
• 6:16
  upload
• 6:16
  that
• 6:17
  tomorrow
• 6:17
  and
• 6:17
  there's
• 6:18
  no,
• 6:20
  there's
• 6:20
  no
• 6:21
  restrictions.
• 6:22
  So
• 6:22
  in
• 6:22
  the
• 6:22
  sense
• 6:23
  of
• 6:24
  if,
• 6:24
  if
• 6:25
  you'd
• 6:25
  like
• 6:25
  your
• 6:25
  property
• 6:26
  to
• 6:26
  be
• 6:26
  not
• 6:26
  just
• 6:26
  on
• 6:26
  webtoon
• 6:27
  but
• 6:27
  also
• 6:27
  on
• 6:28
  other
• 6:28
  platforms
• 6:28
  or
• 6:29
  on
• 6:29
  your
• 6:29
  own
• 6:29
  platform,
• 6:31
  you
• 6:31
  can,
• 6:31
  if
• 6:32
  you're
• 6:32
  on
• 6:32
  the
• 6:32
  canvas
• 6:32
  side,
• 6:33
  you
• 6:33
  can
• 6:33
  publish
• 6:33
  anywhere.
• 6:35
  So
• 6:35
  that
• 6:36
  audience
• 6:37
  engagement
• 6:38
  is
• 6:38
  obviously
• 6:39
  what
• 6:39
  people
• 6:39
  are
• 6:39
  hoping
• 6:39
  to
• 6:40
  capture
• 6:40
  when
• 6:40
  they're
• 6:40
  coming
• 6:41
  to
• 6:41
  that
• 6:41
  side
• 6:41
  of
• 6:41
  the
• 6:41
  platform,
• 6:42
  but
• 6:43
  it
• 6:43
  is,
• 6:43
  it's
• 6:44
  really
• 6:44
  dependent
• 6:44
  on
• 6:45
  the
• 6:45
  creator
• 6:45
  to
• 6:45
  kind
• 6:45
  of
• 6:45
  help
• 6:46
  bolster
• 6:46
  that
• 6:46
  property.
• 6:47
  As
• 6:48
  opposed
• 6:48
  to
• 6:48
  the
• 6:48
  Webtoon
• 6:49
  original
• 6:49
  side.
• 6:51
  The
• 6:51
  original
• 6:52
  side
• 6:53
  kind
• 6:53
  of
• 6:53
  has
• 6:54
  a
• 6:54
  couple
• 6:54
  different
• 6:55
  funnels.
• 6:56
  The
• 6:57
  most
• 6:58
  common
• 6:58
  way
• 6:59
  for
• 6:59
  a
• 6:59
  title
• 7:00
  to
• 7:00
  become
• 7:00
  a
• 7:00
  Webtoon
• 7:01
  original
• 7:01
  truly
• 7:02
  is
• 7:02
  to
• 7:02
  start
• 7:02
  as
• 7:02
  a
• 7:03
  canvas
• 7:03
  property
• 7:04
  and
• 7:04
  for
• 7:05
  the
• 7:05
  audience
• 7:06
  and
• 7:06
  metrics
• 7:06
  to
• 7:07
  grow
• 7:07
  or
• 7:07
  for
• 7:08
  it
• 7:08
  to
• 7:08
  be
• 7:08
  a
• 7:08
  really
• 7:09
  unique,
• 7:09
  interesting
• 7:10
  story
• 7:10
  where
• 7:10
  the
• 7:10
  Webtoon
• 7:11
  original
• 7:11
  side
• 7:11
  says,
• 7:12
  hey
• 7:12
  creator,
• 7:13
  we
• 7:13
  love
• 7:13
  this
• 7:14
  property
• 7:14
  so
• 7:14
  much,
• 7:14
  we'd
• 7:15
  like
• 7:15
  to
• 7:15
  migrate
• 7:15
  it
• 7:16
  to
• 7:16
  a
• 7:16
  Webtoon
• 7:16
  original.
• 7:18
  And
• 7:18
  with
• 7:18
  that
• 7:18
  migration,
• 7:19
  the
• 7:20
  creator
• 7:20
  gets
• 7:21
  kind
• 7:21
  of
• 7:21
  investment
• 7:22
  from
• 7:22
  the
• 7:22
  editorial
• 7:23
  side
• 7:23
  of
• 7:23
  the
• 7:23
  company
• 7:25
  and
• 7:25
  there's
• 7:26
  kind
• 7:26
  of
• 7:27
  financial
• 7:27
  support
• 7:28
  for
• 7:28
  those
• 7:29
  independent
• 7:29
  creators,
• 7:31
  an
• 7:31
  editor
• 7:31
  who
• 7:32
  can
• 7:32
  kind
• 7:32
  of
• 7:32
  help
• 7:32
  keep
• 7:32
  them
• 7:33
  on
• 7:33
  track
• 7:33
  and
• 7:33
  help
• 7:33
  with
• 7:34
  those
• 7:34
  kind
• 7:34
  of
• 7:34
  weekly
• 7:35
  deliverable
• 7:35
  cycles.
• 7:37
  So
• 7:37
  there's
• 7:38
  a
• 7:38
  little
• 7:38
  bit
• 7:38
  more
• 7:38
  support
• 7:39
  infrastructure,
• 7:40
  but
• 7:40
  in
• 7:40
  exchange
• 7:40
  there's
• 7:42
  a
• 7:42
  kind
• 7:42
  of
• 7:42
  an
• 7:42
  investment
• 7:43
  and
• 7:44
  partial
• 7:44
  support
• 7:45
  stake
• 7:45
  in
• 7:45
  the
• 7:45
  property
• 7:46
  that
• 7:46
  Webtoon
• 7:47
  takes.
• 7:48
  I
• 7:49
  would
• 7:49
  say
• 7:49
  the
• 7:50
  other
• 7:50
  part
• 7:50
  is
• 7:51
  once
• 7:51
  you
• 7:51
  are
• 7:51
  kind
• 7:52
  of
• 7:52
  a
• 7:52
  Webtoon
• 7:52
  original
• 7:53
  creator.
• 7:53
  So
• 7:54
  someone
• 7:54
  like
• 7:54
  Miriam,
• 7:54
  who
• 7:55
  created
• 7:55
  Hooky,
• 7:57
  she
• 7:58
  has
• 7:59
  also
• 7:59
  created
• 7:59
  another
• 8:00
  property
• 8:00
  called
• 8:00
  Marionetta.
• 8:01
  And
• 8:01
  because
• 8:02
  she
• 8:02
  is
• 8:03
  already
• 8:03
  in
• 8:03
  the
• 8:03
  Webtoon
• 8:04
  Originals
• 8:05
  community,
• 8:05
  her
• 8:06
  second
• 8:06
  title
• 8:07
  didn't
• 8:07
  go
• 8:07
  through
• 8:08
  the
• 8:08
  Canvas
• 8:09
  to
• 8:09
  Webtoon
• 8:10
  Originals
• 8:10
  process.
• 8:11
  It
• 8:11
  got
• 8:11
  to
• 8:11
  just
• 8:12
  start
• 8:12
  as
• 8:12
  a
• 8:12
  webtoon
• 8:12
  original.
• 8:13
  And
• 8:13
  occasionally
• 8:14
  there's
• 8:14
  contests.
• 8:16
  So
• 8:17
  recently
• 8:17
  there
• 8:18
  was
• 8:18
  a
• 8:18
  contest
• 8:19
  for
• 8:19
  creators
• 8:20
  to
• 8:20
  kind
• 8:20
  of
• 8:20
  submit
• 8:21
  a
• 8:21
  couple
• 8:21
  episodes
• 8:22
  and
• 8:22
  of
• 8:23
  those
• 8:23
  episodes
• 8:24
  that
• 8:24
  were
• 8:24
  submitted,
• 8:25
  the
• 8:25
  editorial
• 8:26
  team
• 8:26
  selected
• 8:26
  a
• 8:26
  winner
• 8:27
  to
• 8:27
  become
• 8:27
  a
• 8:27
  webtoon
• 8:28
  original.
• 8:28
  So
• 8:29
  I
• 8:29
  think
• 8:29
  the
• 8:29
  most
• 8:29
  recent
• 8:30
  winner
• 8:30
  for
• 8:30
  that
• 8:30
  was
• 8:31
  a
• 8:31
  project
• 8:32
  called
• 8:32
  Scale
• 8:32
  Hunters.
• 8:34
  So
• 8:34
  there's
• 8:35
  a
• 8:35
  few
• 8:35
  different
• 8:35
  opportunities,
• 8:36
  but
• 8:36
  there's
• 8:37
  a
• 8:37
  lot
• 8:37
  of
• 8:37
  resources
• 8:37
  available
• 8:38
  online
• 8:39
  to
• 8:39
  kind
• 8:40
  of
• 8:40
  talk
• 8:40
  creators
• 8:41
  through
• 8:42
  best
• 8:42
  practices
• 8:42
  in
• 8:43
  terms
• 8:43
  of
• 8:43
  setting
• 8:43
  up
• 8:44
  their.
• 8:45
  There
• 8:45
  are
• 8:45
  individual
• 8:45
  webcomics
• 8:47
  pipelines.
• 8:48
  Brent,
• 8:49
  who's
• 8:49
  the
• 8:49
  creator
• 8:50
  of
• 8:50
  Ordeal
• 8:50
  that
• 8:51
  I
• 8:51
  mentioned
• 8:51
  earlier,
• 8:52
  he
• 8:52
  has
• 8:52
  amazing
• 8:54
  behind
• 8:54
  the
• 8:54
  scenes
• 8:54
  tutorials
• 8:55
  of
• 8:55
  some
• 8:55
  of
• 8:56
  his
• 8:56
  workflows.
• 8:57
  So
• 8:57
  there's
• 8:58
  a
• 8:58
  lot
• 8:58
  of
• 8:58
  resources
• 8:59
  available
• 8:59
  for
• 8:59
  creators
• 9:00
  to
• 9:00
  be
• 9:00
  able
• 9:00
  to
• 9:02
  wrap
• 9:02
  their
• 9:02
  heads
• 9:03
  around
• 9:03
  how
• 9:04
  best
• 9:04
  to
• 9:05
  work
• 9:05
  through
• 9:06
  that
• 9:06
  creative
• 9:06
  process
• 9:06
  to
• 9:07
  get
• 9:07
  their
• 9:07
  titles
• 9:07
  uploaded.
• 9:09
  Makes
• 9:09
  sense.
• 9:09
  And
• 9:09
  then
• 9:10
  what
• 9:10
  is
• 9:10
  the
• 9:10
  path
• 9:11
  to
• 9:11
  monetization
• 9:11
  then?
• 9:12
  Is
• 9:12
  it
• 9:12
  ad
• 9:12
  supported?
• 9:13
  Does
• 9:14
  it
• 9:14
  kind
• 9:14
  of
• 9:14
  like
• 9:14
  work
• 9:14
  like
• 9:15
  YouTube
• 9:15
  in
• 9:15
  that
• 9:15
  time
• 9:16
  in
• 9:16
  terms
• 9:16
  of
• 9:16
  that
• 9:17
  UGC
• 9:17
  thing?
• 9:18
  Yeah.
• 9:18
  So
• 9:18
  there's
• 9:19
  ad
• 9:19
  sharing
• 9:20
  and
• 9:20
  on
• 9:20
  platform
• 9:21
  purchases
• 9:22
  as
• 9:22
  well.
• 9:23
  Think
• 9:24
  of
• 9:24
  it
• 9:24
  as
• 9:24
  like
• 9:24
  microtransactions.
• 9:25
  So
• 9:26
  in
• 9:26
  order
• 9:26
  to
• 9:26
  read
• 9:27
  titles
• 9:28
  that
• 9:28
  may
• 9:28
  be
• 9:28
  behind
• 9:29
  a
• 9:29
  Fast
• 9:30
  Pass
• 9:30
  or
• 9:32
  kind
• 9:32
  of
• 9:33
  advanced
• 9:34
  readership,
• 9:34
  essentially.
• 9:35
  So
• 9:35
  if
• 9:35
  you're
• 9:35
  such
• 9:36
  a
• 9:36
  die
• 9:36
  hard
• 9:36
  fan
• 9:36
  and
• 9:37
  an
• 9:37
  episode
• 9:37
  drops
• 9:38
  and
• 9:39
  you
• 9:39
  want
• 9:39
  to
• 9:39
  read
• 9:39
  it
• 9:39
  before
• 9:40
  everybody
• 9:40
  else
• 9:41
  gets
• 9:41
  to
• 9:41
  read
• 9:41
  it
• 9:41
  publicly,
• 9:43
  you
• 9:43
  can
• 9:44
  exchange
• 9:44
  coins
• 9:45
  in
• 9:45
  order
• 9:45
  to
• 9:45
  get
• 9:45
  that
• 9:46
  early
• 9:46
  read
• 9:46
  and
• 9:47
  be
• 9:47
  able
• 9:47
  to
• 9:48
  drop
• 9:48
  spoilers
• 9:49
  for
• 9:49
  other
• 9:49
  people
• 9:49
  if
• 9:50
  you're
• 9:50
  that
• 9:50
  type
• 9:50
  of
• 9:50
  person.
• 9:52
  And
• 9:52
  those
• 9:52
  micro
• 9:53
  transactions
• 9:53
  are
• 9:54
  shared
• 9:54
  monetization
• 9:56
  metrics
• 9:57
  essentially
• 9:57
  with
• 9:57
  the
• 9:58
  creators,
• 9:59
  which
• 9:59
  is
• 9:59
  really
• 9:59
  exciting
• 10:00
  to
• 10:00
  see,
• 10:00
  kind
• 10:01
  of
• 10:01
  which
• 10:02
  creators
• 10:02
  are
• 10:03
  not
• 10:04
  just
• 10:04
  having
• 10:04
  a
• 10:04
  really
• 10:05
  big
• 10:05
  fan
• 10:05
  response,
• 10:06
  but
• 10:06
  also
• 10:07
  the
• 10:07
  fans
• 10:08
  who
• 10:08
  are
• 10:08
  really
• 10:08
  invested
• 10:10
  both
• 10:10
  in
• 10:10
  time
• 10:10
  and
• 10:11
  in
• 10:11
  money
• 10:11
  and
• 10:12
  wanting
• 10:12
  to
• 10:12
  continue
• 10:12
  with
• 10:13
  those
• 10:13
  stories.
• 10:13
  I
• 10:13
  think
• 10:14
  it
• 10:14
  really
• 10:14
  helps
• 10:14
  us
• 10:15
  understand
• 10:15
  from
• 10:16
  an
• 10:16
  audience
• 10:17
  participation
• 10:18
  perspective
• 10:19
  where
• 10:19
  their,
• 10:20
  their
• 10:20
  heads
• 10:21
  are
• 10:22
  helpful
• 10:22
  obviously
• 10:23
  for
• 10:23
  what
• 10:23
  I
• 10:24
  do,
• 10:24
  which
• 10:24
  is
• 10:24
  kind
• 10:24
  of
• 10:25
  the
• 10:25
  adaptation
• 10:25
  side
• 10:26
  of
• 10:26
  things.
• 10:26
  Yeah,
• 10:27
  let's
• 10:27
  get
• 10:27
  to
• 10:27
  that.
• 10:27
  Because
• 10:27
  you're
• 10:28
  like,
• 10:29
  that's
• 10:29
  why.
• 10:29
  That's
• 10:30
  one
• 10:30
  of
• 10:30
  the
• 10:30
  reasons
• 10:30
  we
• 10:30
  brought
• 10:31
  you
• 10:31
  on.
• 10:31
  You're
• 10:31
  head
• 10:31
  of
• 10:31
  Global
• 10:31
  Animation
• 10:32
  for
• 10:32
  Webtoon,
• 10:33
  so
• 10:33
  tell
• 10:33
  us
• 10:33
  about
• 10:33
  what
• 10:33
  your
• 10:34
  remit
• 10:34
  is
• 10:34
  there.
• 10:35
  Yeah,
• 10:36
  so
• 10:37
  as
• 10:37
  head
• 10:38
  of
• 10:38
  Global
• 10:38
  Animation
• 10:39
  here,
• 10:39
  my
• 10:39
  job
• 10:40
  is
• 10:40
  really
• 10:40
  to
• 10:41
  identify
• 10:42
  titles
• 10:42
  from
• 10:43
  the
• 10:43
  platform
• 10:43
  that
• 10:43
  makes
• 10:44
  sense
• 10:44
  for
• 10:44
  adaptation.
• 10:45
  So
• 10:45
  on
• 10:46
  the
• 10:46
  webtoon
• 10:46
  production
• 10:47
  side,
• 10:47
  we
• 10:47
  have
• 10:47
  three
• 10:47
  separate
• 10:48
  teams.
• 10:48
  We
• 10:49
  have
• 10:49
  a
• 10:49
  live
• 10:49
  action
• 10:49
  television
• 10:50
  team,
• 10:50
  a
• 10:50
  live
• 10:51
  action
• 10:51
  film
• 10:51
  team,
• 10:51
  and
• 10:52
  an
• 10:52
  animation
• 10:53
  team,
• 10:53
  which
• 10:53
  is
• 10:53
  my
• 10:54
  team.
• 10:54
  And
• 10:55
  our
• 10:55
  animation
• 10:55
  team
• 10:56
  covers
• 10:56
  TV
• 10:56
  and
• 10:57
  film.
• 10:58
  And
• 10:58
  we,
• 10:59
  I
• 10:59
  think
• 11:00
  we
• 11:00
  kind
• 11:00
  of
• 11:00
  have
• 11:01
  the
• 11:01
  best
• 11:01
  job
• 11:01
  in
• 11:02
  the
• 11:02
  world
• 11:02
  because
• 11:03
  our,
• 11:04
  our
• 11:04
  days
• 11:04
  are
• 11:04
  filled
• 11:05
  with
• 11:05
  reading
• 11:05
  a
• 11:05
  bunch
• 11:05
  of
• 11:06
  comics
• 11:06
  and
• 11:06
  trying
• 11:06
  to
• 11:07
  figure
• 11:07
  out
• 11:07
  would
• 11:07
  this
• 11:07
  make
• 11:08
  a
• 11:08
  great
• 11:08
  TV
• 11:08
  show
• 11:09
  or
• 11:09
  a
• 11:09
  great
• 11:09
  animated
• 11:10
  series.
• 11:11
  And
• 11:11
  then,
• 11:12
  you
• 11:12
  know,
• 11:12
  sometimes
• 11:13
  there's
• 11:13
  a
• 11:13
  title
• 11:13
  where
• 11:13
  we
• 11:14
  kind
• 11:14
  of
• 11:14
  fight
• 11:14
  across
• 11:15
  our
• 11:15
  three
• 11:15
  divisions
• 11:16
  and
• 11:16
  we
• 11:16
  have
• 11:16
  to
• 11:17
  play
• 11:17
  rock,
• 11:17
  paper,
• 11:17
  scissors
• 11:18
  to
• 11:18
  see
• 11:18
  who
• 11:18
  gets
• 11:19
  it,
• 11:20
  but
• 11:20
  we
• 11:21
  get
• 11:21
  to
• 11:21
  work
• 11:22
  with
• 11:22
  those
• 11:22
  creators
• 11:23
  and
• 11:23
  work
• 11:23
  with
• 11:23
  that
• 11:24
  property
• 11:24
  and,
• 11:25
  you
• 11:25
  know,
• 11:25
  go
• 11:26
  through
• 11:26
  the
• 11:26
  traditional
• 11:27
  development
• 11:27
  process,
• 11:28
  sometimes
• 11:28
  not
• 11:29
  so
• 11:29
  traditional
• 11:29
  development
• 11:30
  process,
• 11:30
  and
• 11:30
  then
• 11:31
  hopefully
• 11:32
  make
• 11:32
  it
• 11:32
  out
• 11:32
  to
• 11:32
  the
• 11:32
  other
• 11:33
  side
• 11:33
  where
• 11:33
  we
• 11:33
  have
• 11:34
  a
• 11:34
  public
• 11:34
  announcement
• 11:35
  for,
• 11:35
  you
• 11:35
  know,
• 11:36
  a
• 11:36
  green
• 11:36
  light,
• 11:37
  much
• 11:38
  like
• 11:38
  we
• 11:38
  did
• 11:38
  with
• 11:38
  Lore
• 11:39
  Olympus
• 11:39
  back
• 11:40
  in

  January,
• 11:41
  which
• 11:41
  we
• 11:42
  set
• 11:42
  up
• 11:42
  with
• 11:42
  Amazon
• 11:43
  Prime.
• 11:43
  And
• 11:43
  we're
• 11:44
  in
• 11:44
  production
• 11:45
  and
• 11:45
  absolutely
• 11:46
  thrilled
• 11:46
  to
• 11:47
  be
• 11:47
  able
• 11:47
  to
• 11:47
  bring
• 11:48
  that
• 11:48
  to
• 11:48
  screen
• 11:48
  for
• 11:49
  fans,
• 11:50
  hopefully
• 11:50
  soon.
• 11:50
  And
• 11:51
  when
• 11:51
  you're,
• 11:52
  when
• 11:52
  you're
• 11:52
  looking

  Sydney,

  whether,

  you

• 11:58
  What
• 11:58
  kind
• 11:58
  of
• 11:58
  data
• 11:59
  and

• 12:05
  So
• 12:05
  the
• 12:06
  retention
• 12:06
  rate
• 12:06
  is
• 12:06
  high.
• 12:07
  What
• 12:07
  are
• 12:07
  the
• 12:07
  things
• 12:08
  that
• 12:08
  you
• 12:08
  kind
• 12:08
  of
• 12:09
  watch
• 12:09
  for?
• 12:09
  And
• 12:10
  when
• 12:10
  you
• 12:10
  see
• 12:10
  it
• 12:10
  start
• 12:10
  to
• 12:11
  bubble
• 12:11
  up,
• 12:11
  you're
• 12:11
  like,
• 12:11
  okay,
• 12:12
  there's
• 12:12
  something
• 12:12
  there.
• 12:13
  Let's
• 12:13
  keep
• 12:13
  a
• 12:13
  watching
• 12:14
  brief
• 12:14
  on
• 12:14
  that
• 12:14
  one.
• 12:14
  Yeah,
• 12:15
  I
• 12:15
  think
• 12:15
  it's
• 12:15
  kind
• 12:16
  of
• 12:16
  all
• 12:16
  of
• 12:16
  the
• 12:16
  above.
• 12:17
  You
• 12:18
  know,
• 12:18
  if
• 12:18
  a
• 12:19
  title's
• 12:19
  older
• 12:20
  in
• 12:20
  terms
• 12:20
  of
• 12:21
  having
• 12:21
  been
• 12:21
  on
• 12:21
  the
• 12:21
  platform
• 12:22
  for
• 12:22
  a
• 12:22
  long
• 12:22
  time,
• 12:24
  those
• 12:24
  are
• 12:24
  more
• 12:25
  likely
• 12:25
  to
• 12:25
  have
• 12:26
  the
• 12:26
  extraordinarily
• 12:27
  high
• 12:27
  numbers.
• 12:28
  So,
• 12:29
  you
• 12:29
  know,
• 12:30
  I,
• 12:30
  I
• 12:30
  think
• 12:30
  Tower
• 12:31
  of
• 12:31
  God
• 12:31
  has
• 12:32
  like
• 12:32
  6.6
• 12:33
  billion
• 12:33
  global
• 12:34
  reads.
• 12:35
  Lore
• 12:36
  Olympus
• 12:36
  has
• 12:37
  1.8
• 12:38
  billion
• 12:38
  global
• 12:38
  reads.
• 12:39
  So
• 12:40
  a
• 12:40
  lot
• 12:40
  of
• 12:40
  the
• 12:40
  properties
• 12:41
  that
• 12:41
  have
• 12:41
  been
• 12:41
  on
• 12:42
  since
• 12:42
  like
• 12:42
  2018,
• 12:44
  2017,
• 12:45
  they've
• 12:46
  had
• 12:46
  kind
• 12:46
  of
• 12:46
  the
• 12:47
  longevity
• 12:47
  to
• 12:47
  be
• 12:48
  able
• 12:48
  to
• 12:48
  have
• 12:49
  a
• 12:49
  significant
• 12:50
  amount
• 12:50
  of
• 12:50
  readership
• 12:51
  and
• 12:52
  hundreds
• 12:52
  of
• 12:52
  episodes
• 12:53
  on
• 12:53
  the
• 12:53
  platform.
• 12:54
  So,
• 12:54
  of
• 12:54
  course,
• 12:55
  legacy
• 12:55
  titles
• 12:55
  that
• 12:56
  have
• 12:56
  been
• 12:56
  very
• 12:56
  important
• 12:56
  to
• 12:57
  the
• 12:57
  platform
• 12:57
  for
• 12:57
  a
• 12:58
  long
• 12:58
  time,
• 12:59
  I
• 12:59
  would
• 13:00
  say
• 13:00
  for
• 13:00
  the
• 13:00
  most
• 13:00
  part
• 13:00
  are
• 13:01
  all
• 13:01
  titles
• 13:01
  that
• 13:01
  have
• 13:01
  been
• 13:02
  spoken
• 13:02
  for
• 13:03
  within
• 13:03
  our
• 13:04
  group,
• 13:05
  but
• 13:05
  in
• 13:05
  terms
• 13:05
  of
• 13:06
  newer
• 13:06
  titles,
• 13:08
  it's
• 13:08
  a
• 13:08
  few
• 13:08
  different
• 13:08
  things.
• 13:09
  Jo,
• 13:09
  to
• 13:09
  your
• 13:09
  point.
• 13:11
  Yes.
• 13:11
  Is
• 13:11
  the
• 13:12
  retention
• 13:12
  high?
• 13:12
  Are
• 13:13
  people
• 13:13
  coming
• 13:13
  back
• 13:13
  week
• 13:14
  after
• 13:14
  week?
• 13:14
  Are
• 13:14
  we
• 13:14
  seeing
• 13:15
  that
• 13:15
  steady
• 13:16
  increase
• 13:16
  in
• 13:17
  readership?
• 13:18
  And
• 13:18
  also
• 13:18
  in
• 13:18
  comments.
• 13:20
  I
• 13:20
  think
• 13:20
  that's
• 13:21
  one
• 13:21
  of
• 13:21
  the
• 13:21
  wonderful
• 13:21
  things
• 13:22
  about
• 13:22
  the
• 13:22
  platform
• 13:22
  is
• 13:23
  it
• 13:23
  is,
• 13:24
  of
• 13:24
  course,
• 13:24
  a
• 13:25
  content
• 13:26
  platform
• 13:26
  first,
• 13:27
  but
• 13:27
  it's
• 13:27
  also
• 13:28
  embedded
• 13:28
  with
• 13:29
  a
• 13:29
  social
• 13:29
  media
• 13:29
  aspect
• 13:30
  and
• 13:30
  the
• 13:30
  fact
• 13:30
  that
• 13:31
  fans
• 13:31
  can
• 13:32
  comment
• 13:32
  down
• 13:33
  to
• 13:33
  the
• 13:33
  episode
• 13:34
  and
• 13:34
  have
• 13:34
  these
• 13:35
  kind
• 13:35
  of
• 13:35
  dialogues
• 13:36
  within,
• 13:37
  you
• 13:38
  know,
• 13:38
  each
• 13:38
  episode
• 13:39
  of
• 13:39
  oh
• 13:39
  my
• 13:39
  gosh,
• 13:40
  I
• 13:40
  can't
• 13:40
  believe
• 13:40
  that
• 13:40
  happened
• 13:41
  and
• 13:41
  oh,
• 13:41
  I
• 13:42
  think
• 13:42
  this
• 13:42
  is
• 13:42
  going
• 13:42
  to
• 13:42
  happen
• 13:42
  next,
• 13:43
  or
• 13:43
  I
• 13:43
  can't
• 13:43
  believe
• 13:44
  he
• 13:44
  kissed
• 13:44
  her,
• 13:44
  I
• 13:44
  can't
• 13:45
  believe
• 13:45
  that
• 13:46
  thing
• 13:46
  happened.
• 13:47
  So
• 13:47
  there's
• 13:48
  a
• 13:48
  lot
• 13:48
  of
• 13:48
  audience
• 13:48
  participation
• 13:49
  in
• 13:49
  that
• 13:50
  sense.
• 13:50
  And
• 13:50
  I
• 13:50
  think
• 13:50
  when
• 13:50
  we're
• 13:51
  seeing
• 13:51
  that
• 13:52
  really
• 13:52
  high
• 13:52
  engagement
• 13:53
  with
• 13:53
  comments.
• 13:54
  That's
• 13:54
  also
• 13:54
  a
• 13:54
  really
• 13:55
  strong
• 13:55
  sign
• 13:55
  for
• 13:56
  us.
• 13:57
  And
• 13:57
  then
• 13:57
  separately
• 13:58
  too,
• 13:59
  because
• 13:59
  not
• 13:59
  all
• 13:59
  creators
• 14:00
  are
• 14:00
  created
• 14:00
  equal
• 14:01
  and
• 14:01
  some
• 14:01
  have
• 14:03
  a
• 14:03
  much
• 14:03
  more
• 14:04
  significant
• 14:04
  individual
• 14:05
  social
• 14:05
  media
• 14:05
  following
• 14:06
  and
• 14:07
  maybe
• 14:08
  their
• 14:08
  title
• 14:08
  is
• 14:08
  getting
• 14:09
  more
• 14:09
  exposure
• 14:10
  because
• 14:10
  they're
• 14:11
  off
• 14:11
  platform
• 14:12
  promoting
• 14:12
  it.
• 14:13
  But,
• 14:13
  but
• 14:13
  there's
• 14:13
  a
• 14:13
  lot
• 14:14
  of
• 14:14
  titles
• 14:14
  with,
• 14:14
  I
• 14:15
  would
• 14:15
  say,
• 14:15
  like,
• 14:15
  quieter
• 14:16
  creators
• 14:16
  sometimes
• 14:17
  where
• 14:17
  the
• 14:18
  creative
• 14:18
  itself
• 14:20
  is
• 14:20
  also
• 14:20
  really
• 14:21
  excellent.
• 14:21
  And
• 14:22
  if,
• 14:22
  if
• 14:22
  that
• 14:22
  title
• 14:23
  maybe
• 14:23
  doesn't
• 14:23
  have
• 14:24
  the
• 14:24
  highest
• 14:24
  metrics,
• 14:25
  but
• 14:25
  we
• 14:25
  really
• 14:26
  believe
• 14:26
  in
• 14:26
  it
• 14:26
  from
• 14:27
  a
• 14:27
  story
• 14:27
  perspective,
• 14:29
  that's
• 14:30
  also
• 14:30
  something
• 14:30
  we
• 14:30
  get
• 14:30
  to
• 14:30
  jump
• 14:31
  into.
• 14:31
  And
• 14:31
  of
• 14:31
  course
• 14:32
  we're
• 14:32
  having,
• 14:33
  you
• 14:33
  know,
• 14:33
  daily
• 14:33
  conversations
• 14:34
  with,
• 14:35
  you
• 14:35
  know,
• 14:35
  the
• 14:35
  Netflixes
• 14:36
  and
• 14:36
  Disney's
• 14:37
  and
• 14:37
  Amazons
• 14:37
  of
• 14:38
  the
• 14:38
  world
• 14:38
  where
• 14:38
  they're
• 14:39
  telling
• 14:39
  us,
• 14:40
  you
• 14:40
  know,
• 14:40
  we're,
• 14:41
  we're
• 14:41
  looking
• 14:41
  for
• 14:42
  our
• 14:42
  XYZ
• 14:43
  or,
• 14:43
  or
• 14:43
  whatever
• 14:44
  their
• 14:44
  mandates
• 14:45
  are.
• 14:45
  So
• 14:45
  we're
• 14:46
  always
• 14:46
  kind
• 14:46
  of
• 14:46
  trying
• 14:47
  to
• 14:47
  both
• 14:48
  influence
• 14:49
  the
• 14:49
  marketplace
• 14:50
  in
• 14:50
  terms
• 14:50
  of,
• 14:51
  hey,
• 14:51
  this
• 14:51
  is
• 14:51
  what
• 14:51
  the
• 14:51
  fans
• 14:53
  are
• 14:53
  really
• 14:54
  resonating
• 14:54
  with
• 14:54
  and
• 14:54
  this
• 14:55
  is
• 14:55
  what
• 14:55
  the
• 14:55
  fans
• 14:55
  are
• 14:55
  really
• 14:55
  interested
• 14:56
  in
• 14:56
  seeing.
• 14:56
  And
• 14:57
  here's
• 14:57
  all
• 14:57
  the
• 14:57
  reasons
• 14:58
  that
• 14:58
  you
• 14:58
  should
• 14:58
  want
• 14:59
  to
• 14:59
  do
• 14:59
  an
• 14:59
  adaptation
• 15:00
  of
• 15:00
  this.
• 15:01
  Insert
• 15:01
  data.
• 15:03
  And
• 15:03
  then
• 15:04
  on
• 15:04
  the
• 15:04
  flip
• 15:04
  side,
• 15:04
  it's
• 15:04
  also,
• 15:05
  okay,
• 15:05
  well
• 15:05
  this
• 15:06
  is
• 15:06
  what
• 15:06
  you
• 15:06
  want.
• 15:06
  Well,
• 15:07
  we,
• 15:07
  we
• 15:07
  have
• 15:08
  that,
• 15:08
  so
• 15:08
  let
• 15:09
  us
• 15:09
  develop
• 15:09
  that
• 15:10
  and
• 15:10
  bring
• 15:10
  it
• 15:10
  to
• 15:10
  you.
• 15:11
  And
• 15:11
  do
• 15:11
  you
• 15:12
  think
• 15:12
  that
• 15:12
  community
• 15:12
  aspect
• 15:13
  is
• 15:13
  the
• 15:13
  big
• 15:13
  difference
• 15:14
  between
• 15:14
  traditional
• 15:15
  development
• 15:16
  route
• 15:16
  for
• 15:16
  programming
• 15:17
  and
• 15:17
  this
• 15:17
  alternative
• 15:18
  way
• 15:18
  of
• 15:19
  looking
• 15:19
  at
• 15:19
  it?
• 15:20
  I
• 15:20
  think
• 15:21
  so.
• 15:21
  I
• 15:21
  think
• 15:22
  especially
• 15:22
  in
• 15:22
  an
• 15:23
  age
• 15:23
  of
• 15:25
  the
• 15:25
  demand
• 15:25
  for
• 15:26
  ip,
• 15:26
  ip,
• 15:26
  IP
• 15:27
  and
• 15:27
  everyone,
• 15:28
  you
• 15:28
  know,
• 15:29
  so
• 15:29
  interested
• 15:30
  in,
• 15:30
  in
• 15:31
  making
• 15:31
  sure
• 15:31
  that
• 15:31
  they're
• 15:31
  buying
• 15:32
  something
• 15:32
  that's,
• 15:33
  you
• 15:33
  know,
• 15:34
  bulletproof,
• 15:34
  which,
• 15:35
  you
• 15:35
  know,
• 15:35
  nobody
• 15:36
  knows
• 15:36
  what,
• 15:36
  what
• 15:37
  that
• 15:37
  really
• 15:37
  is.
• 15:37
  And
• 15:38
  I,
• 15:38
  and
• 15:38
  I
• 15:38
  think
• 15:39
  in
• 15:39
  execution,
• 15:41
  when
• 15:41
  you're
• 15:42
  just
• 15:43
  using
• 15:43
  an
• 15:43
  IP
• 15:44
  and
• 15:44
  hoping
• 15:44
  that
• 15:44
  that's
• 15:45
  going
• 15:45
  to
• 15:45
  be
• 15:45
  the
• 15:45
  vehicle
• 15:45
  that's
• 15:46
  going
• 15:46
  to
• 15:46
  bring
• 15:46
  an
• 15:46
  audience,
• 15:47
  I
• 15:47
  think
• 15:47
  you
• 15:47
  see
• 15:47
  a
• 15:48
  huge
• 15:48
  disconnect
• 15:49
  and,
• 15:49
  and
• 15:50
  I
• 15:50
  don't
• 15:50
  think
• 15:51
  fans
• 15:51
  show
• 15:51
  up
• 15:51
  in
• 15:52
  the
• 15:52
  way
• 15:52
  that
• 15:53
  maybe
• 15:54
  some
• 15:54
  buyers
• 15:54
  think
• 15:55
  are,
• 15:56
  are
• 15:56
  obvious
• 15:57
  for
• 15:57
  some
• 15:58
  of
• 15:58
  those
• 15:58
  properties.
• 15:58
  And
• 15:59
  I
• 15:59
  think
• 15:59
  what's
• 16:00
  really
• 16:00
  wonderful
• 16:00
  about
• 16:02
  these
• 16:02
  digital
• 16:02
  platforms
• 16:03
  is
• 16:04
  what
• 16:04
  rises
• 16:04
  to
• 16:05
  the
• 16:05
  top
• 16:06
  really
• 16:06
  is
• 16:06
  because
• 16:07
  of
• 16:07
  the
• 16:07
  fan
• 16:08
  investment.
• 16:09
  And
• 16:09
  I
• 16:10
  think
• 16:10
  the
• 16:10
  fans
• 16:10
  take
• 16:11
  a
• 16:11
  lot
• 16:11
  of
• 16:11
  pride
• 16:11
  in
• 16:12
  feeling
• 16:12
  like
• 16:12
  they
• 16:12
  were
• 16:13
  a
• 16:13
  part
• 16:13
  of
• 16:13
  that
• 16:14
  property
• 16:14
  becoming
• 16:15
  successful.
• 16:15
  They
• 16:16
  were
• 16:16
  a
• 16:16
  part
• 16:16
  of,
• 16:17
  you
• 16:17
  know,
• 16:18
  Rachel
• 16:18
  Smythe's
• 16:19
  rise
• 16:20
  to
• 16:20
  becoming
• 16:20
  a
• 16:20
  New
• 16:21
  York
• 16:21
  Times
• 16:21
  bestseller.
• 16:22
  And
• 16:23
  I
• 16:23
  think
• 16:23
  because
• 16:24
  of
• 16:24
  that
• 16:24
  they
• 16:25
  have
• 16:25
  this
• 16:25
  kind
• 16:26
  of
• 16:26
  die
• 16:26
  hard
• 16:27
  love
• 16:27
  for
• 16:28
  a
• 16:28
  lot
• 16:28
  of
• 16:28
  these
• 16:28
  properties.
• 16:29
  I,
• 16:30
  I
• 16:30
  remember,
• 16:31
  I
• 16:31
  teach
• 16:32
  at
• 16:32
  Loyola
• 16:32
  Marymount
• 16:33
  University
• 16:33
  here
• 16:33
  in
• 16:34
  Los
• 16:34
  Angeles
• 16:34
  to
• 16:34
  the
• 16:35
  animation
• 16:35
  program
• 16:36
  and
• 16:37
  one
• 16:37
  of
• 16:37
  My
• 16:38
  first
• 16:38
  semesters
• 16:39
  teaching
• 16:40
  after
• 16:41
  I
• 16:41
  started
• 16:42
  working
• 16:42
  here
• 16:42
  at
• 16:42
  Webtoon,
• 16:43
  I
• 16:43
  was
• 16:44
  telling
• 16:44
  the
• 16:44
  kids
• 16:44
  at
• 16:44
  the
• 16:44
  beginning
• 16:45
  of
• 16:45
  the
• 16:45
  semester
• 16:45
  like,
• 16:45
  oh,
• 16:46
  this
• 16:46
  is
• 16:46
  my
• 16:46
  job.
• 16:46
  This
• 16:46
  is
• 16:47
  what
• 16:47
  I
• 16:47
  do.
• 16:47
  And
• 16:48
  one
• 16:48
  of
• 16:48
  the
• 16:48
  girls
• 16:49
  in
• 16:50
  the
• 16:50
  audience
• 16:50
  in
• 16:50
  my
• 16:51
  class,
• 16:52
  she
• 16:53
  started
• 16:53
  crying
• 16:54
  and
• 16:54
  she
• 16:55
  was
• 16:55
  like,
• 16:55
  oh
• 16:55
  my
• 16:56
  God,
• 16:56
  are
• 16:56
  you
• 16:56
  working
• 16:57
  on
• 16:57
  Hooky?
• 16:57
  Hooky
• 16:58
  is
• 16:58
  my
• 16:58
  favorite
• 16:59
  webtoon.
• 17:00
  It
• 17:00
  helped
• 17:00
  me
• 17:01
  get
• 17:01
  through
• 17:01
  high
• 17:01
  school.
• 17:02
  Like,
• 17:02
  so
• 17:02
  I
• 17:03
  hear
• 17:03
  all
• 17:03
  these
• 17:04
  stories
• 17:04
  of
• 17:04
  people
• 17:04
  who
• 17:05
  just
• 17:05
  are
• 17:06
  so
• 17:07
  emphatically
• 17:07
  emotionally
• 17:08
  connected
• 17:09
  to
• 17:09
  the
• 17:09
  properties.
• 17:10
  And
• 17:10
  I
• 17:10
  think
• 17:11
  there's
• 17:11
  something
• 17:12
  really
• 17:12
  special
• 17:12
  about
• 17:13
  that
• 17:13
  versus
• 17:14
  just,
• 17:14
  you
• 17:14
  know,
• 17:15
  some
• 17:15
  big
• 17:15
  IP
• 17:16
  that
• 17:16
  everybody's
• 17:16
  heard
• 17:17
  of
• 17:17
  because
• 17:17
  it's
• 17:17
  been
• 17:17
  around
• 17:17
  for
• 17:18
  40
• 17:18
  years.
• 17:20
  And
• 17:21
  that
• 17:21
  fandom
• 17:22
  is
• 17:22
  such
• 17:23
  an
• 17:23
  important
• 17:23
  part
• 17:24
  increasingly
• 17:24
  of
• 17:25
  what
• 17:25
  we're
• 17:25
  talking
• 17:26
  about
• 17:26
  in
• 17:26
  terms
• 17:26
  of
• 17:26
  what
• 17:26
  gets
• 17:27
  adapted
• 17:27
  and
• 17:27
  what
• 17:28
  gets
• 17:28
  picked
• 17:28
  up.
• 17:29
  But
• 17:29
  they
• 17:29
  can
• 17:29
  also
• 17:30
  feel
• 17:30
  very,
• 17:31
  very
• 17:31
  personally
• 17:31
  passionate
• 17:32
  about
• 17:33
  things
• 17:33
  as
• 17:33
  you
• 17:33
  have
• 17:34
  just
• 17:35
  articulated.
• 17:36
  So
• 17:36
  when,
• 17:37
  when
• 17:37
  you're
• 17:37
  thinking
• 17:38
  about
• 17:38
  something
• 17:38
  that,
• 17:38
  that
• 17:39
  moves
• 17:39
  on
• 17:39
  into
• 17:40
  being
• 17:41
  adapted,
• 17:42
  you
• 17:42
  know,
• 17:43
  what,
• 17:44
  what
• 17:44
  do
• 17:44
  you
• 17:44
  think
• 17:44
  about
• 17:45
  in
• 17:45
  terms
• 17:45
  of
• 17:46
  having
• 17:46
  that
• 17:47
  responsibility
• 17:47
  to
• 17:48
  the
• 17:48
  fans
• 17:48
  and
• 17:48
  the
• 17:48
  audience?
• 17:49
  You
• 17:49
  know,
• 17:49
  what,
• 17:49
  what
• 17:50
  do
• 17:50
  you
• 17:50
  think
• 17:50
  about
• 17:50
  keeping
• 17:51
  so
• 17:51
  it
• 17:51
  doesn't
• 17:51
  get
• 17:51
  lost
• 17:52
  in
• 17:52
  translation
• 17:53
  also,
• 17:53
  you
• 17:53
  know,
• 17:53
  what
• 17:54
  do
• 17:54
  you
• 17:54
  think
• 17:54
  about
• 17:55
  gets
• 17:55
  added
• 17:55
  when
• 17:55
  something
• 17:56
  gets
• 17:56
  adapted
• 17:57
  from
• 17:57
  being
• 17:57
  a
• 17:57
  webtoon?
• 17:58
  Yeah,
• 17:58
  absolutely.
• 17:59
  I
• 17:59
  mean,
• 17:59
  I
• 18:00
  think,
• 18:01
  I
• 18:01
  think
• 18:01
  hopefully
• 18:02
  what
• 18:02
  fans
• 18:03
  can
• 18:03
  keep
• 18:03
  in
• 18:04
  mind
• 18:04
  is
• 18:04
  that,
• 18:05
  you
• 18:06
  know,
• 18:06
  the
• 18:06
  pacing
• 18:06
  is
• 18:07
  very
• 18:07
  different
• 18:07
  for
• 18:08
  a
• 18:08
  web
• 18:08
  comic
• 18:08
  versus
• 18:09
  a,
• 18:10
  a
• 18:10
  series
• 18:11
  or
• 18:11
  a
• 18:12
  feature.
• 18:12
  So,
• 18:13
  you
• 18:13
  know,
• 18:13
  on
• 18:13
  the
• 18:14
  feature
• 18:14
  side,
• 18:14
  a
• 18:14
  story
• 18:15
  has
• 18:15
  to
• 18:15
  be
• 18:15
  contained,
• 18:16
  right?
• 18:17
  Like,
• 18:17
  it.
• 18:17
  It
• 18:17
  has
• 18:17
  to
• 18:18
  feel
• 18:18
  like
• 18:18
  we
• 18:18
  started
• 18:18
  somewhere
• 18:19
  and
• 18:19
  we
• 18:19
  ended
• 18:19
  somewhere.
• 18:21
  And
• 18:22
  not
• 18:22
  all
• 18:22
  webtoons
• 18:23
  have
• 18:23
  ended.
• 18:24
  A
• 18:24
  lot
• 18:24
  of
• 18:24
  webtoons
• 18:25
  are
• 18:26
  still
• 18:26
  ongoing.
• 18:27
  So
• 18:27
  some
• 18:28
  of
• 18:28
  that
• 18:28
  is,
• 18:28
  you
• 18:29
  know,
• 18:29
  how
• 18:29
  do
• 18:29
  we
• 18:29
  encapsulate
• 18:30
  maybe
• 18:31
  a
• 18:31
  storyline
• 18:32
  or,
• 18:33
  you
• 18:33
  know,
• 18:33
  a
• 18:34
  specific
• 18:34
  arc
• 18:35
  for
• 18:35
  what
• 18:35
  that
• 18:35
  feature
• 18:36
  adaptation
• 18:36
  is?
• 18:37
  And
• 18:38
  I
• 18:38
  think
• 18:38
  too,
• 18:39
  in
• 18:40
  the
• 18:40
  context
• 18:40
  of,
• 18:41
  of
• 18:41
  creating
• 18:42
  webtoon
• 18:42
  properties,
• 18:43
  the
• 18:44
  goal
• 18:44
  is
• 18:44
  to
• 18:44
  really
• 18:45
  churn
• 18:45
  out
• 18:45
  an
• 18:45
  episode
• 18:46
  once
• 18:46
  a
• 18:46
  week,
• 18:46
  right?
• 18:47
  So
• 18:47
  these
• 18:47
  creators
• 18:47
  are
• 18:48
  cranking
• 18:48
  out
• 18:48
  stories
• 18:49
  and
• 18:49
  sometimes
• 18:49
  some
• 18:50
  of
• 18:50
  those
• 18:50
  episodes
• 18:50
  are
• 18:51
  going
• 18:51
  to
• 18:51
  feel
• 18:52
  maybe
• 18:52
  a
• 18:52
  little
• 18:52
  bit
• 18:53
  more
• 18:53
  slice
• 18:53
  of
• 18:53
  life
• 18:53
  or,
• 18:54
  you
• 18:55
  know,
• 18:55
  there's
• 18:55
  a
• 18:55
  title
• 18:56
  called
• 18:56
  Sirens
• 18:56
  Lament
• 18:57
  that
• 18:58
  there's
• 18:59
  maybe
• 19:00
  a
• 19:00
  hundred
• 19:01
  plus
• 19:01
  episodes
• 19:02
  of
• 19:02
  like
• 19:02
  a
• 19:02
  will
• 19:02
  they
• 19:03
  won't
• 19:03
  they,
• 19:03
  you
• 19:04
  know,
• 19:04
  kind
• 19:05
  of
• 19:05
  storyline.
• 19:06
  And
• 19:06
  that's
• 19:06
  really
• 19:07
  wonderful,
• 19:07
  I
• 19:08
  think,
• 19:08
  for
• 19:08
  fans
• 19:08
  to
• 19:08
  be
• 19:09
  able
• 19:09
  to
• 19:09
  come
• 19:09
  back
• 19:09
  to
• 19:09
  Webtoon
• 19:10
  and
• 19:10
  like
• 19:10
  read
• 19:11
  and
• 19:11
  get
• 19:11
  these
• 19:11
  little
• 19:12
  snippets
• 19:13
  kind
• 19:13
  of
• 19:14
  throughout
• 19:14
  that
• 19:14
  story.
• 19:15
  But
• 19:15
  when
• 19:15
  we're
• 19:15
  talking
• 19:16
  about
• 19:16
  adaptations,
• 19:18
  you
• 19:18
  know,
• 19:18
  we
• 19:18
  really
• 19:18
  want
• 19:19
  people,
• 19:19
  especially
• 19:20
  in
• 19:20
  a
• 19:20
  day
• 19:20
  of
• 19:20
  digital
• 19:21
  streaming
• 19:22
  and
• 19:22
  binge
• 19:22
  watching
• 19:23
  it's
• 19:23
  like,
• 19:24
  we
• 19:24
  need
• 19:25
  the
• 19:25
  fans
• 19:25
  to
• 19:25
  be
• 19:25
  so
• 19:26
  excited
• 19:26
  to
• 19:26
  come
• 19:26
  back.
• 19:27
  So
• 19:27
  how
• 19:27
  are
• 19:27
  we.
• 19:28
  How
• 19:28
  are
• 19:28
  we
• 19:29
  really
• 19:29
  crafting
• 19:30
  cliffhangers
• 19:30
  at
• 19:31
  the
• 19:31
  end
• 19:31
  of
• 19:31
  each
• 19:31
  of
• 19:31
  these
• 19:32
  episodes?
• 19:32
  That
• 19:33
  feels
• 19:33
  really
• 19:33
  propulsive
• 19:34
  and
• 19:35
  figuring
• 19:35
  out
• 19:36
  what
• 19:36
  does
• 19:36
  the
• 19:37
  pacing
• 19:37
  look
• 19:38
  like?
• 19:39
  You
• 19:39
  know,
• 19:39
  if
• 19:39
  you
• 19:40
  read
• 19:40
  an
• 19:40
  episode
• 19:41
  of
• 19:41
  Webtoon,
• 19:42
  that
• 19:42
  may
• 19:42
  be,
• 19:43
  you
• 19:43
  know,
• 19:44
  eight
• 19:44
  scenes,
• 19:45
  but
• 19:45
  eight
• 19:45
  scenes
• 19:46
  doesn't
• 19:46
  make
• 19:46
  up
• 19:46
  30
• 19:47
  minutes
• 19:47
  of
• 19:47
  television.
• 19:48
  So
• 19:48
  there's
• 19:49
  a
• 19:49
  lot
• 19:49
  of
• 19:49
  things
• 19:49
  to
• 19:49
  kind
• 19:49
  of
• 19:50
  factor
• 19:50
  into
• 19:50
  that.
• 19:50
  But
• 19:51
  I
• 19:51
  think
• 19:51
  in
• 19:51
  terms
• 19:52
  of
• 19:52
  kind
• 19:53
  of
• 19:53
  the
• 19:53
  care
• 19:53
  that
• 19:53
  we
• 19:53
  take
• 19:54
  for
• 19:54
  adaptation,
• 19:55
  you
• 19:56
  know,
• 19:56
  I.
• 19:56
  I
• 19:57
  have
• 19:57
  the
• 19:57
  great
• 19:57
  privilege
• 19:58
  of
• 19:58
  being
• 19:59
  close
• 19:59
  to
• 20:00
  a
• 20:00
  lot
• 20:00
  of
• 20:00
  the
• 20:00
  creators
• 20:01
  that
• 20:01
  we're
• 20:01
  adapting
• 20:01
  their
• 20:02
  properties
• 20:02
  for,
• 20:02
  so
• 20:03
  I
• 20:03
  take
• 20:03
  a
• 20:03
  lot
• 20:04
  of
• 20:04
  care
• 20:04
  in
• 20:05
  what
• 20:05
  that
• 20:05
  looks
• 20:06
  like.
• 20:06
  And.
• 20:06
  And
• 20:07
  there's
• 20:07
  no
• 20:07
  greater
• 20:08
  compliment
• 20:08
  when
• 20:09
  those
• 20:09
  creators
• 20:10
  feel
• 20:10
  like
• 20:11
  we
• 20:11
  really
• 20:11
  heard
• 20:12
  them
• 20:12
  and
• 20:12
  saw
• 20:12
  them
• 20:13
  and
• 20:13
  saw
• 20:14
  the
• 20:14
  properties
• 20:14
  and
• 20:15
  the
• 20:15
  materials
• 20:16
  we're
• 20:16
  sharing
• 20:16
  with
• 20:17
  them
• 20:17
  in
• 20:17
  the
• 20:17
  development
• 20:18
  or
• 20:18
  production
• 20:18
  process
• 20:19
  are.
• 20:20
  Are
• 20:20
  like
• 20:21
  elating
• 20:22
  them
• 20:22
  because
• 20:22
  they
• 20:23
  feel
• 20:23
  like,
• 20:23
  wow,
• 20:23
  you
• 20:24
  really
• 20:24
  captured
• 20:25
  the
• 20:25
  essence
• 20:25
  of
• 20:25
  what
• 20:25
  I
• 20:26
  wanted
• 20:26
  to
• 20:26
  do.
• 20:26
  But
• 20:26
  in
• 20:27
  this
• 20:27
  next
• 20:28
  stage,
• 20:30
  and
• 20:30
  I
• 20:30
  think
• 20:30
  too,
• 20:31
  we,
• 20:31
  you
• 20:31
  know,
• 20:31
  we
• 20:32
  do
• 20:32
  read
• 20:32
  the
• 20:32
  fan
• 20:32
  comments.
• 20:33
  So
• 20:33
  if.
• 20:34
  If
• 20:34
  fans
• 20:35
  are
• 20:35
  obsessed
• 20:36
  with
• 20:36
  a
• 20:36
  secondary
• 20:37
  character,
• 20:38
  maybe
• 20:38
  there's
• 20:38
  a
• 20:39
  world
• 20:39
  where
• 20:39
  we
• 20:39
  bump
• 20:39
  that
• 20:40
  character
• 20:40
  up
• 20:41
  in
• 20:41
  adaptation
• 20:42
  to
• 20:42
  give
• 20:42
  them
• 20:42
  a
• 20:43
  little
• 20:43
  bit
• 20:43
  more
• 20:43
  spotlight.
• 20:44
  So
• 20:44
  there's
• 20:45
  a
• 20:45
  lot
• 20:45
  of,
• 20:45
  like,
• 20:46
  levers
• 20:46
  that
• 20:46
  we
• 20:47
  are
• 20:47
  looking
• 20:47
  at
• 20:47
  when
• 20:48
  we're
• 20:48
  looking
• 20:48
  through
• 20:48
  the
• 20:49
  adaptation
• 20:50
  lens.
• 20:50
  And
• 20:50
  I
• 20:51
  think
• 20:51
  our
• 20:51
  hope
• 20:51
  is
• 20:53
  that
• 20:53
  fans
• 20:53
  get
• 20:54
  not
• 20:54
  just
• 20:54
  what
• 20:55
  they
• 20:55
  expected
• 20:55
  from
• 20:56
  the
• 20:56
  comic
• 20:56
  in
• 20:57
  terms
• 20:57
  of
• 20:57
  those
• 20:57
  storylines
• 20:58
  and
• 20:58
  those
• 20:58
  characters,
• 20:58
  but
• 20:59
  they're
• 20:59
  getting
• 20:59
  to
• 21:00
  expand
• 21:00
  on
• 21:01
  the
• 21:01
  world
• 21:01
  so
• 21:01
  much
• 21:02
  more.
• 21:03
  If
• 21:03
  you
• 21:03
  look
• 21:04
  at
• 21:04
  a
• 21:04
  lot
• 21:04
  of
• 21:04
  the
• 21:04
  webcomics,
• 21:05
  many
• 21:05
  of
• 21:05
  them
• 21:05
  don't
• 21:06
  have
• 21:06
  extensive
• 21:07
  backgrounds,
• 21:08
  for
• 21:08
  instance,
• 21:09
  because
• 21:09
  it's
• 21:09
  pretty
• 21:09
  labor
• 21:10
  intensive.
• 21:10
  So
• 21:11
  you
• 21:11
  get
• 21:11
  a
• 21:11
  lot
• 21:12
  of
• 21:12
  full
• 21:12
  character
• 21:12
  in
• 21:13
  frame.
• 21:14
  So
• 21:14
  in
• 21:14
  a
• 21:15
  lot
• 21:15
  of
• 21:15
  these
• 21:15
  projects,
• 21:16
  it's
• 21:16
  really
• 21:16
  incredible
• 21:17
  to
• 21:17
  figure
• 21:18
  out,
• 21:18
  okay,
• 21:19
  what
• 21:19
  does
• 21:20
  Underworld
• 21:20
  look
• 21:20
  like
• 21:21
  and
• 21:21
  what
• 21:21
  does
• 21:21
  Olympus
• 21:22
  look
• 21:22
  like?
• 21:22
  Because
• 21:23
  Rachel's
• 21:24
  given
• 21:24
  us
• 21:24
  suggestions
• 21:25
  for
• 21:25
  lore
• 21:25
  Olympus
• 21:26
  in
• 21:26
  terms
• 21:27
  of
• 21:28
  light
• 21:28
  art
• 21:28
  in
• 21:29
  the
• 21:29
  background,
• 21:30
  but
• 21:30
  now
• 21:30
  that
• 21:30
  we're
• 21:31
  exploring
• 21:32
  the
• 21:32
  series
• 21:33
  side
• 21:33
  of
• 21:33
  things,
• 21:33
  it's
• 21:33
  like,
• 21:34
  okay,
• 21:34
  what.
• 21:34
  What
• 21:34
  does
• 21:35
  this
• 21:35
  expansive
• 21:35
  world.
• 21:45
  And
• 21:45
  does
• 21:45
  that
• 21:46
  gap
• 21:46
  between
• 21:48
  what's
• 21:48
  being
• 21:48
  kind
• 21:49
  of
• 21:49
  illustrated
• 21:49
  or
• 21:49
  kind
• 21:50
  of
• 21:50
  what's
• 21:51
  being
• 21:51
  imagined
• 21:51
  by
• 21:51
  the
• 21:51
  artist?
• 21:52
  The
• 21:52
  fact
• 21:52
  that
• 21:53
  there
• 21:53
  are
• 21:53
  some
• 21:53
  stuff
• 21:53
  that
• 21:53
  isn't
• 21:54
  filled
• 21:54
  in,
• 21:55
  does
• 21:55
  that
• 21:56
  invite
• 21:56
  a
• 21:56
  lot
• 21:56
  of
• 21:57
  fans
• 21:57
  to
• 21:57
  kind
• 21:57
  of
• 21:58
  come
• 21:58
  up
• 21:58
  with
• 21:58
  their
• 21:58
  own
• 21:59
  versions
• 22:00
  of
• 22:00
  stuff
• 22:01
  that
• 22:01
  isn't
• 22:01
  really
• 22:01
  express,
• 22:02
  but
• 22:02
  that's
• 22:03
  kind
• 22:03
  of
• 22:03
  in
• 22:03
  the
• 22:03
  margins?
• 22:04
  Do
• 22:04
  you
• 22:04
  get
• 22:04
  a
• 22:04
  lot
• 22:04
  of.
• 22:05
  Do
• 22:06
  you
• 22:06
  think
• 22:06
  there's
• 22:06
  much
• 22:07
  more
• 22:07
  of
• 22:07
  that
• 22:07
  Sense
• 22:07
  of
• 22:07
  the
• 22:08
  fan
• 22:08
  having
• 22:08
  an
• 22:08
  influence
• 22:09
  on,
• 22:09
  on
• 22:10
  the
• 22:10
  IP
• 22:10
  than
• 22:10
  they
• 22:11
  would
• 22:11
  traditionally
• 22:11
  have
• 22:12
  in,
• 22:12
  in
• 22:12
  other
• 22:13
  areas.
• 22:14
  Yeah,
• 22:14
  I
• 22:14
  mean,
• 22:14
  I
• 22:15
  think
• 22:15
  it's
• 22:15
  kind
• 22:15
  of
• 22:16
  like,
• 22:17
  you
• 22:17
  know,
• 22:18
  thinking
• 22:18
  about
• 22:18
  other
• 22:19
  big
• 22:19
  properties.
• 22:19
  Like
• 22:19
  when
• 22:20
  the
• 22:20
  Harry
• 22:20
  Potter
• 22:20
  books
• 22:21
  came
• 22:21
  out,
• 22:21
  I
• 22:21
  think
• 22:22
  everyone
• 22:22
  was
• 22:22
  kind
• 22:22
  of
• 22:23
  imagining
• 22:24
  what
• 22:24
  Hogwarts
• 22:25
  and
• 22:25
  all
• 22:25
  of
• 22:25
  these
• 22:26
  different
• 22:26
  places
• 22:26
  looks
• 22:27
  like.
• 22:27
  And
• 22:27
  then
• 22:28
  at
• 22:28
  least
• 22:28
  for
• 22:29
  me,
• 22:29
  I
• 22:29
  felt
• 22:29
  like
• 22:29
  when
• 22:29
  I
• 22:30
  saw
• 22:30
  the
• 22:30
  first
• 22:30
  movie
• 22:30
  I
• 22:31
  was
• 22:31
  like,
• 22:31
  oh
• 22:31
  my
• 22:31
  gosh,
• 22:31
  the
• 22:31
  boats,
• 22:33
  you
• 22:33
  know,
• 22:33
  floating
• 22:34
  into
• 22:34
  Hogwarts.
• 22:35
  Like
• 22:35
  that's
• 22:35
  what
• 22:35
  I
• 22:35
  felt
• 22:36
  like
• 22:36
  I
• 22:36
  saw
• 22:36
  when
• 22:37
  I
• 22:37
  was
• 22:37
  reading
• 22:37
  that
• 22:38
  book.
• 22:38
  So
• 22:39
  I,
• 22:39
  I
• 22:39
  do
• 22:40
  think
• 22:40
  fans
• 22:41
  have
• 22:42
  the
• 22:42
  opportunity
• 22:43
  to
• 22:43
  kind
• 22:43
  of
• 22:44
  flex
• 22:44
  their
• 22:45
  imagination
• 22:46
  because
• 22:46
  of
• 22:47
  the,
• 22:47
  some
• 22:47
  of
• 22:47
  the
• 22:47
  limitations
• 22:48
  with
• 22:48
  the
• 22:48
  vertical
• 22:49
  scroll
• 22:49
  comic.
• 22:51
  So
• 22:51
  yeah,
• 22:52
  I
• 22:52
  think
• 22:52
  they
• 22:53
  kind
• 22:53
  of
• 22:53
  fill
• 22:54
  in
• 22:54
  the
• 22:54
  gaps
• 22:55
  and
• 22:55
  then
• 22:56
  hopefully
• 22:56
  on
• 22:56
  the
• 22:57
  adaptation
• 22:57
  side
• 22:57
  we,
• 22:58
  we
• 22:58
  fill
• 22:58
  them
• 22:59
  in
• 22:59
  in
• 22:59
  a
• 22:59
  way
• 22:59
  that
• 22:59
  they're
• 23:00
  excited
• 23:00
  about.
• 23:02
  Yeah,
• 23:03
  no,
• 23:03
  that
• 23:03
  makes
• 23:03
  a
• 23:04
  lot
• 23:04
  of
• 23:04
  sense.
• 23:05
  And
• 23:05
  then
• 23:05
  when
• 23:05
  it
• 23:05
  comes
• 23:06
  to
• 23:06
  obviously
• 23:06
  kids
• 23:06
  IP
• 23:07
  because
• 23:07
  webtoons
• 23:08
  is
• 23:08
  a
• 23:08
  13
• 23:08
  platform.
• 23:10
  Yes.
• 23:10
  Yeah,
• 23:11
  but
• 23:11
  kids,
• 23:11
  you
• 23:11
  know,
• 23:11
  kids
• 23:12
  are,
• 23:12
  kids
• 23:12
  are
• 23:12
  finding,
• 23:13
  you
• 23:13
  know,
• 23:14
  particularly
• 23:14
  older
• 23:14
  kids
• 23:15
  finding
• 23:15
  comics
• 23:16
  and
• 23:16
  that
• 23:16
  kind
• 23:17
  of
• 23:17
  format
• 23:17
  really
• 23:17
  clearly.
• 23:19
  But
• 23:19
  I
• 23:19
  guess
• 23:19
  you
• 23:19
  still
• 23:19
  get
• 23:20
  the
• 23:20
  opportunity
• 23:20
  to
• 23:21
  adapt
• 23:21
  stuff
• 23:22
  for
• 23:22
  the
• 23:22
  screen
• 23:23
  that
• 23:23
  is
• 23:23
  targeted
• 23:24
  at
• 23:24
  kids
• 23:24
  because
• 23:25
  you.
• 23:25
  Know
• 23:25
  that
• 23:25
  the
• 23:25
  option
• 23:26
  works.
• 23:27
  Absolutely.
• 23:27
  So
• 23:27
  the
• 23:28
  platform
• 23:28
  itself
• 23:28
  is
• 23:29
  14
• 23:30
  to
• 23:30
  24.
• 23:31
  Core
• 23:31
  demographic.
• 23:32
  We
• 23:32
  don't
• 23:33
  track
• 23:33
  under
• 23:33
  14
• 23:34
  because
• 23:34
  of
• 23:34
  COPA
• 23:34
  regulations.
• 23:37
  Who
• 23:37
  knows
• 23:37
  what
• 23:37
  the
• 23:38
  future
• 23:38
  will
• 23:38
  hold.
• 23:38
  Maybe
• 23:39
  we
• 23:39
  will
• 23:39
  kind
• 23:39
  of
• 23:39
  open
• 23:40
  up
• 23:40
  a
• 23:40
  different
• 23:40
  part
• 23:41
  that
• 23:41
  is,
• 23:41
  you
• 23:42
  know,
• 23:42
  more
• 23:42
  geared
• 23:43
  towards
• 23:43
  a
• 23:43
  younger
• 23:44
  audience.
• 23:45
  That
• 23:45
  being
• 23:45
  said,
• 23:45
  because
• 23:45
  of
• 23:45
  the
• 23:46
  margins
• 23:46
  in
• 23:46
  the
• 23:46
  comments,
• 23:47
  we
• 23:47
  can
• 23:48
  see
• 23:48
  that
• 23:48
  there's
• 23:48
  a
• 23:48
  lot
• 23:48
  of
• 23:49
  like
• 23:49
  younger
• 23:49
  engagement
• 23:50
  on
• 23:51
  the
• 23:51
  platform.
• 23:53
  And
• 23:53
  I
• 23:53
  think
• 23:54
  to
• 23:54
  your
• 23:54
  point,
• 23:55
  Emily,
• 23:55
  you
• 23:56
  know,
• 23:56
  kids
• 23:56
  are,
• 23:57
  kids
• 23:57
  are
• 23:57
  hungry
• 23:58
  for
• 23:58
  content.
• 23:59
  So
• 23:59
  if,
• 24:00
  if
• 24:00
  broadcasters
• 24:01
  and
• 24:01
  streamers
• 24:02
  are
• 24:02
  not
• 24:02
  programming
• 24:03
  for
• 24:03
  them,
• 24:03
  they
• 24:03
  will
• 24:03
  find
• 24:04
  it
• 24:04
  somewhere
• 24:04
  else.
• 24:04
  And
• 24:05
  I
• 24:05
  think
• 24:05
  we
• 24:05
  saw
• 24:06
  and
• 24:06
  see
• 24:07
  a
• 24:07
  lot
• 24:07
  of
• 24:07
  that
• 24:07
  in
• 24:08
  the
• 24:08
  migration
• 24:08
  of
• 24:09
  kind
• 24:09
  of
• 24:09
  that
• 24:10
  younger
• 24:10
  Demo
• 24:10
  going
• 24:10
  to
• 24:11
  YouTube
• 24:12
  and
• 24:12
  finding
• 24:13
  these
• 24:13
  creators,
• 24:13
  finding
• 24:13
  these
• 24:14
  different
• 24:14
  stories.
• 24:14
  But
• 24:15
  I
• 24:15
  think
• 24:15
  we
• 24:15
  see
• 24:15
  a
• 24:15
  lot
• 24:16
  of
• 24:16
  them
• 24:16
  also
• 24:16
  on
• 24:16
  Webtoon
• 24:17
  because
• 24:17
  I
• 24:18
  think
• 24:18
  traditional
• 24:19
  media
• 24:19
  is
• 24:21
  not,
• 24:22
  not
• 24:23
  serving
• 24:23
  the,
• 24:24
  the
• 24:24
  audience
• 24:25
  in
• 24:25
  its
• 24:25
  fullest
• 24:26
  capacity
• 24:27
  right
• 24:27
  now.
• 24:28
  Particularly
• 24:29
  to
• 24:29
  me
• 24:29
  in
• 24:29
  the
• 24:30
  like
• 24:30
  6
• 24:31
  to
• 24:33
  6
• 24:33
  to
• 24:33
  16
• 24:34
  range.
• 24:34
  I
• 24:35
  would
• 24:35
  probably.
• 24:38
  And
• 24:38
  I
• 24:39
  think
• 24:39
  because
• 24:39
  of
• 24:40
  that
• 24:40
  we
• 24:40
  do
• 24:40
  see
• 24:41
  a
• 24:41
  lot
• 24:41
  of
• 24:42
  wonderful
• 24:42
  properties
• 24:43
  that
• 24:43
  are
• 24:44
  squarely
• 24:44
  in
• 24:44
  that
• 24:45
  age
• 24:45
  demographic
• 24:46
  that
• 24:47
  feel
• 24:47
  appropriate
• 24:48
  and
• 24:49
  can
• 24:49
  be
• 24:49
  read
• 24:50
  to
• 24:50
  very
• 24:50
  young
• 24:51
  kids,
• 24:51
  but
• 24:52
  also
• 24:52
  have
• 24:53
  really
• 24:53
  enough
• 24:54
  emotional
• 24:55
  hook
• 24:55
  and
• 24:56
  drive
• 24:56
  between
• 24:56
  the
• 24:56
  characters
• 24:57
  and
• 24:57
  the
• 24:57
  story
• 24:58
  arc
• 24:58
  that
• 24:58
  it's
• 24:59
  keeping
• 24:59
  the
• 24:59
  15,
• 25:00
  16,
• 25:00
  17
• 25:01
  plus
• 25:01
  year
• 25:01
  old
• 25:02
  readers
• 25:04
  tuned
• 25:04
  in
• 25:04
  and
• 25:04
  coming
• 25:05
  back.
• 25:06
  So
• 25:06
  yeah,
• 25:07
  we
• 25:07
  are
• 25:07
  our
• 25:08
  development
• 25:08
  Slate
• 25:09
  really
• 25:09
  covers
• 25:09
  kind
• 25:10
  of
• 25:10
  the
• 25:10
  full
• 25:10
  spectrum.
• 25:11
  I
• 25:11
  would
• 25:11
  say
• 25:12
  we
• 25:12
  don't
• 25:12
  really
• 25:12
  do
• 25:13
  too
• 25:13
  much
• 25:13
  in
• 25:13
  the
• 25:13
  preschool
• 25:14
  space,
• 25:14
  primarily
• 25:15
  because
• 25:16
  to
• 25:16
  be
• 25:16
  an
• 25:16
  avid
• 25:17
  reader
• 25:17
  on
• 25:17
  the
• 25:17
  platform,
• 25:18
  you
• 25:18
  have
• 25:18
  to
• 25:18
  be
• 25:18
  able
• 25:19
  to
• 25:19
  read.
• 25:21
  So
• 25:21
  I
• 25:21
  would
• 25:21
  say
• 25:22
  middle
• 25:22
  grade
• 25:22
  plus
• 25:23
  is
• 25:23
  kind
• 25:23
  of
• 25:24
  where
• 25:24
  we
• 25:24
  live.
• 25:26
  And
• 25:26
  on
• 25:26
  the
• 25:26
  adaptation
• 25:27
  side
• 25:27
  for
• 25:28
  series
• 25:28
  and
• 25:28
  for
• 25:29
  film,
• 25:30
  plenty
• 25:30
  of
• 25:30
  titles
• 25:31
  in
• 25:31
  the
• 25:31
  four
• 25:31
  quad
• 25:32
  feature
• 25:32
  space
• 25:32
  and
• 25:33
  on
• 25:33
  the
• 25:33
  series
• 25:33
  front,
• 25:34
  a
• 25:35
  lot
• 25:35
  of
• 25:35
  titles
• 25:35
  that
• 25:36
  feel
• 25:36
  in
• 25:36
  the
• 25:36
  kind
• 25:37
  of
• 25:37
  6
• 25:37
  to
• 25:37
  11
• 25:38
  classic
• 25:38
  age
• 25:38
  demographic.
• 25:39
  Although
• 25:40
  on
• 25:40
  the
• 25:40
  media
• 25:40
  side
• 25:41
  that
• 25:41
  age
• 25:41
  demo
• 25:42
  is
• 25:42
  kind
• 25:42
  of
• 25:42
  dwindling
• 25:43
  away
• 25:43
  and
• 25:44
  now
• 25:44
  we're
• 25:44
  saying
• 25:44
  things
• 25:44
  like
• 25:45
  4Quad
• 25:45
  and
• 25:46
  co
• 25:46
  viewing
• 25:46
  and
• 25:46
  spectacle
• 25:47
  and
• 25:47
  all
• 25:47
  these
• 25:48
  different
• 25:48
  things.
• 25:48
  So.
• 25:50
  But
• 25:50
  I
• 25:50
  think
• 25:51
  we're,
• 25:51
  we're
• 25:51
  very
• 25:52
  much
• 25:52
  a
• 25:52
  platform
• 25:52
  that
• 25:52
  services
• 25:53
  that
• 25:54
  audience.
• 25:54
  And
• 25:54
  I
• 25:54
  think
• 25:55
  also
• 25:55
  our
• 25:55
  DNA
• 25:56
  is
• 25:56
  just
• 25:57
  so
• 25:57
  tightly
• 25:58
  connected
• 25:58
  to
• 25:59
  kind
• 25:59
  of
• 25:59
  anime
• 26:00
  and
• 26:01
  manga
• 26:02
  and
• 26:03
  traditional
• 26:03
  comics.
• 26:04
  And
• 26:04
  obviously
• 26:05
  there's
• 26:05
  a
• 26:06
  huge
• 26:07
  spike
• 26:07
  in
• 26:08
  readership
• 26:09
  for
• 26:09
  kind
• 26:09
  of
• 26:09
  younger
• 26:10
  fans
• 26:10
  finding
• 26:11
  those
• 26:11
  types
• 26:11
  of
• 26:12
  properties
• 26:12
  on
• 26:13
  Crunchyroll
• 26:13
  and
• 26:13
  other
• 26:14
  places.
• 26:17
  That
• 26:17
  cultural
• 26:18
  specificity
• 26:20
  is
• 26:20
  interesting
• 26:21
  because
• 26:22
  obviously
• 26:23
  anime
• 26:23
  and
• 26:23
  manga
• 26:24
  is
• 26:24
  very,
• 26:24
  very
• 26:25
  popular.
• 26:25
  But
• 26:25
  you
• 26:25
  mentioned
• 26:26
  you've
• 26:27
  got
• 26:27
  a
• 26:27
  creator
• 26:27
  who's
• 26:28
  from
• 26:28
  Trinidad
• 26:29
  or
• 26:29
  you
• 26:29
  know,
• 26:29
  you've
• 26:30
  got
• 26:30
  Spanish
• 26:31
  language
• 26:32
  creators.
• 26:33
  Do
• 26:34
  you
• 26:34
  see
• 26:34
  from
• 26:35
  your,
• 26:35
  your
• 26:36
  readers
• 26:36
  that
• 26:36
  actually
• 26:36
  that
• 26:37
  specificity
• 26:38
  is
• 26:38
  really
• 26:38
  appealing
• 26:39
  now?
• 26:39
  They're
• 26:40
  looking
• 26:40
  for
• 26:40
  different
• 26:40
  flavors
• 26:41
  and
• 26:41
  different
• 26:41
  types
• 26:42
  of
• 26:42
  stories.
• 26:43
  Yeah,
• 26:43
  absolutely.
• 26:44
  I
• 26:44
  think,
• 26:45
  I
• 26:46
  think
• 26:46
  the
• 26:46
  titles
• 26:47
  that
• 26:47
  become
• 26:47
  the
• 26:48
  most
• 26:48
  successful
• 26:49
  tend
• 26:50
  to
• 26:50
  be
• 26:50
  something
• 26:50
  that
• 26:51
  is
• 26:51
  unique,
• 26:52
  that
• 26:52
  has
• 26:53
  something
• 26:53
  special.
• 26:53
  Whether
• 26:54
  that's
• 26:55
  a
• 26:56
  specific
• 26:56
  lens
• 26:57
  from
• 26:57
  the
• 26:57
  creator,
• 26:58
  if
• 26:58
  that's
• 26:58
  a
• 26:58
  specific
• 26:59
  style
• 27:00
  from
• 27:00
  a
• 27:00
  creator,
• 27:01
  both,
• 27:03
  I
• 27:03
  think
• 27:03
  elements
• 27:04
  of,
• 27:04
  you
• 27:04
  know,
• 27:05
  what
• 27:05
  those
• 27:05
  creators
• 27:05
  can
• 27:05
  speak
• 27:06
  to.
• 27:06
  I
• 27:06
  think
• 27:07
  that
• 27:07
  authenticity
• 27:08
  really
• 27:08
  comes
• 27:08
  through
• 27:09
  in
• 27:09
  the
• 27:09
  storytelling.
• 27:10
  But
• 27:10
  I
• 27:11
  also
• 27:11
  think,
• 27:12
  you
• 27:12
  know,
• 27:13
  manga
• 27:13
  and
• 27:14
  manoirs
• 27:14
  as
• 27:15
  a
• 27:15
  medium
• 27:16
  has
• 27:16
  really
• 27:16
  infiltrated,
• 27:18
  I
• 27:18
  think,
• 27:18
  really
• 27:19
  millennials
• 27:19
  and
• 27:20
  younger.
• 27:20
  I
• 27:20
  mean,
• 27:20
  when
• 27:21
  I
• 27:21
  think
• 27:21
  about,
• 27:22
  when
• 27:23
  I'm
• 27:23
  dating
• 27:23
  myself
• 27:24
  here,
• 27:24
  but
• 27:25
  when
• 27:25
  I
• 27:25
  was
• 27:25
  younger,
• 27:26
  if
• 27:26
  I
• 27:26
  wanted
• 27:26
  to
• 27:26
  watch
• 27:27
  an
• 27:28
  anime
• 27:28
  series,
• 27:28
  it
• 27:29
  was
• 27:29
  like
• 27:29
  a
• 27:29
  bootleg
• 27:30
  DVD
• 27:30
  or
• 27:31
  VHS
• 27:32
  of
• 27:32
  something
• 27:32
  in
• 27:33
  the
• 27:33
  back
• 27:33
  of
• 27:33
  a
• 27:33
  theater
• 27:35
  filming.
• 27:35
  Whereas
• 27:36
  now
• 27:37
  so
• 27:37
  much
• 27:37
  of
• 27:38
  that
• 27:38
  content
• 27:38
  is
• 27:38
  available
• 27:39
  online
• 27:40
  and
• 27:40
  other
• 27:40
  streaming
• 27:41
  platforms.
• 27:42
  And
• 27:42
  I
• 27:42
  think
• 27:43
  if
• 27:43
  you
• 27:44
  look
• 27:44
  at
• 27:44
  the
• 27:44
  success
• 27:45
  really
• 27:45
  of
• 27:45
  what
• 27:46
  the
• 27:46
  Last
• 27:46
  Airbender
• 27:47
  was,
• 27:48
  I
• 27:48
  think
• 27:49
  people
• 27:49
  really
• 27:49
  loved
• 27:50
  that
• 27:50
  show
• 27:51
  for
• 27:51
  a
• 27:51
  number
• 27:51
  of
• 27:51
  reasons.
• 27:52
  It
• 27:52
  was
• 27:53
  visually
• 27:54
  in
• 27:54
  line
• 27:54
  with
• 27:55
  kind
• 27:55
  of
• 27:55
  an
• 27:55
  echo
• 27:56
  of
• 27:56
  traditional
• 27:57
  anime.
• 27:57
  It
• 27:58
  had
• 27:58
  a
• 27:58
  lot
• 27:58
  of
• 27:58
  that
• 27:58
  influence,
• 27:59
  but
• 28:00
  I
• 28:00
  think
• 28:00
  it
• 28:00
  also
• 28:00
  had
• 28:02
  character
• 28:02
  dynamics
• 28:03
  and
• 28:03
  relationships
• 28:04
  that
• 28:04
  felt
• 28:04
  really
• 28:05
  real
• 28:05
  and
• 28:05
  authentic
• 28:06
  to
• 28:06
  that
• 28:07
  younger
• 28:07
  age
• 28:07
  demographic.
• 28:08
  It
• 28:09
  felt
• 28:09
  like
• 28:09
  first
• 28:09
  crushes
• 28:10
  and
• 28:11
  arguments
• 28:12
  with
• 28:12
  your
• 28:12
  uncle.
• 28:13
  And
• 28:13
  it
• 28:14
  felt
• 28:14
  very
• 28:14
  relatable.
• 28:16
  And
• 28:16
  I
• 28:16
  think
• 28:16
  that
• 28:17
  relatability
• 28:17
  of
• 28:18
  kind
• 28:18
  of
• 28:18
  the
• 28:18
  emotional
• 28:19
  core
• 28:19
  of
• 28:19
  a
• 28:20
  lot
• 28:20
  of
• 28:20
  that
• 28:20
  storytelling
• 28:21
  is
• 28:21
  what
• 28:21
  resonates
• 28:22
  so
• 28:22
  much
• 28:22
  with
• 28:23
  that
• 28:23
  younger
• 28:23
  audience.
• 28:25
  And
• 28:25
  I
• 28:25
  think
• 28:25
  that's
• 28:26
  why
• 28:26
  you
• 28:26
  see
• 28:26
  a
• 28:26
  lot
• 28:26
  of
• 28:26
  anime
• 28:27
  influence
• 28:28
  kind
• 28:28
  of
• 28:28
  echoed
• 28:29
  across
• 28:30
  these
• 28:30
  properties
• 28:31
  from
• 28:32
  Spain
• 28:32
  and
• 28:33
  Trinidad
• 28:33
  and
• 28:34
  Canada
• 28:34
  and
• 28:34
  all
• 28:35
  these
• 28:35
  different
• 28:35
  places.
• 28:36
  Because
• 28:37
  I
• 28:37
  think
• 28:37
  the
• 28:38
  anime
• 28:38
  influence
• 28:39
  that
• 28:39
  has
• 28:39
  been
• 28:40
  had
• 28:40
  on
• 28:41
  kind
• 28:41
  of
• 28:41
  Millennials
• 28:42
  and
• 28:42
  Gen
• 28:42
  Z
• 28:43
  and
• 28:43
  Younger
• 28:43
  is
• 28:45
  cinematic
• 28:45
  storytelling
• 28:46
  with
• 28:47
  emotional
• 28:47
  core
• 28:48
  and
• 28:48
  heart,
• 28:49
  with
• 28:49
  characters
• 28:50
  that
• 28:50
  have
• 28:50
  real
• 28:51
  stakes
• 28:51
  to
• 28:52
  what
• 28:52
  they're
• 28:52
  doing.
• 28:53
  And
• 28:53
  I
• 28:53
  think
• 28:54
  that
• 28:55
  that
• 28:57
  kind
• 28:57
  of
• 28:57
  melting
• 28:57
  pot
• 28:58
  of
• 28:58
  ingredients
• 28:58
  is
• 28:59
  really
• 28:59
  what
• 28:59
  people
• 28:59
  are
• 29:00
  craving,
• 29:00
  I
• 29:00
  think,
• 29:00
  particularly
• 29:01
  in
• 29:01
  the
• 29:01
  kids
• 29:02
  space,
• 29:02
  that
• 29:02
  we're
• 29:02
  really
• 29:03
  not
• 29:03
  serving
• 29:03
  them
• 29:04
  right
• 29:04
  now.
• 29:05
  Yep.
• 29:06
  And
• 29:06
  I
• 29:06
  wonder
• 29:07
  whether
• 29:07
  the
• 29:07
  other
• 29:07
  parallel
• 29:08
  is
• 29:08
  that
• 29:09
  with
• 29:09
  manga
• 29:10
  you
• 29:10
  have
• 29:10
  something
• 29:11
  that's
• 29:11
  relatively
• 29:12
  low
• 29:12
  cost
• 29:13
  way
• 29:13
  of
• 29:14
  developing
• 29:14
  new
• 29:15
  ideas
• 29:15
  and
• 29:16
  you
• 29:16
  can
• 29:16
  kind
• 29:17
  of
• 29:17
  take
• 29:17
  creative
• 29:17
  risks
• 29:18
  in
• 29:18
  a
• 29:19
  way
• 29:19
  that
• 29:19
  the
• 29:20
  traditional
• 29:20
  TV
• 29:21
  form
• 29:22
  of
• 29:22
  developing
• 29:23
  and
• 29:23
  commissioning
• 29:24
  shows,
• 29:25
  it's
• 29:25
  very
• 29:25
  expensive.
• 29:26
  So
• 29:27
  people
• 29:28
  are
• 29:28
  risk
• 29:28
  averse
• 29:28
  and
• 29:30
  they
• 29:30
  may
• 29:30
  be
• 29:30
  sand
• 29:31
  down
• 29:31
  the
• 29:31
  edges
• 29:31
  a
• 29:31
  bit
• 29:32
  and
• 29:33
  airbrush
• 29:33
  it
• 29:33
  a
• 29:33
  bit
• 29:34
  because
• 29:34
  they're
• 29:35
  worried
• 29:35
  about
• 29:35
  how
• 29:36
  it
• 29:36
  will
• 29:36
  land.
• 29:36
  But
• 29:37
  I
• 29:37
  think
• 29:37
  that
• 29:38
  kind
• 29:38
  of
• 29:38
  manga
• 29:39
  form
• 29:39
  of
• 29:39
  really
• 29:40
  having
• 29:40
  a
• 29:40
  low
• 29:40
  cost
• 29:40
  way
• 29:41
  of
• 29:41
  being
• 29:41
  able
• 29:41
  to
• 29:41
  experiment
• 29:42
  with
• 29:42
  ideas
• 29:42
  and
• 29:43
  see
• 29:43
  what
• 29:43
  sticks
• 29:44
  is
• 29:44
  a.
• 29:45
  Is
• 29:45
  a
• 29:45
  really
• 29:45
  interesting
• 29:46
  way
• 29:46
  of
• 29:46
  developing
• 29:47
  stuff.
• 29:47
  And
• 29:47
  it
• 29:47
  feels
• 29:47
  like
• 29:47
  webtoons
• 29:48
  is
• 29:48
  kind
• 29:49
  of
• 29:49
  that
• 29:50
  amplified
• 29:50
  really.
• 29:51
  Yeah.
• 29:51
  The
• 29:51
  digital
• 29:52
  version
• 29:53
  of
• 29:53
  that.
• 29:53
  Absolutely.
• 29:54
  And
• 29:55
  I
• 29:55
  think
• 29:55
  too,
• 29:55
  you
• 29:56
  know
• 29:56
  what's
• 29:56
  so
• 29:56
  great
• 29:56
  about
• 29:57
  the
• 29:57
  platform
• 29:57
  is
• 29:57
  it
• 29:58
  really
• 29:58
  does
• 29:58
  offer
• 29:59
  an
• 30:00
  opportunity
• 30:00
  for
• 30:00
  creators
• 30:01
  to
• 30:01
  start
• 30:02
  to
• 30:02
  monetize
• 30:03
  and
• 30:03
  make
• 30:04
  money.
• 30:05
  I
• 30:05
  believe
• 30:06
  we
• 30:06
  paid
• 30:06
  out
• 30:07
  about
• 30:07
  $2.8
• 30:08
  billion
• 30:09
  to
• 30:09
  creators
• 30:10
  between
• 30:10
  2017
• 30:11
  and
• 30:11
  2025.
• 30:13
  So
• 30:14
  the
• 30:14
  average
• 30:14
  creator,
• 30:15
  professional
• 30:15
  creator
• 30:16
  on
• 30:16
  the
• 30:16
  platform
• 30:17
  makes
• 30:17
  about
• 30:17
  $48,000.
• 30:18
  And
• 30:19
  the
• 30:19
  top
• 30:19
  100
• 30:20
  creators,
• 30:20
  which
• 30:21
  I
• 30:21
  said
• 30:21
  this
• 30:21
  at
• 30:21
  kids
• 30:21
  screen
• 30:22
  and
• 30:22
  it
• 30:22
  got
• 30:22
  kind
• 30:22
  of
• 30:22
  an
• 30:23
  audible
• 30:23
  gasp.
• 30:24
  The
• 30:24
  top
• 30:25
  100
• 30:25
  creators
• 30:25
  make
• 30:25
  over
• 30:26
  a
• 30:26
  million
• 30:26
  dollars
• 30:27
  from
• 30:27
  the
• 30:27
  platform.
• 30:28
  So
• 30:29
  crazy.
• 30:29
  You
• 30:30
  know,
• 30:30
  it.
• 30:30
  $48,000
• 30:31
  is
• 30:31
  not
• 30:32
  a
• 30:32
  lot
• 30:32
  of
• 30:32
  money.
• 30:33
  But
• 30:33
  if
• 30:33
  you're
• 30:34
  really
• 30:34
  passionate
• 30:34
  about
• 30:35
  getting
• 30:35
  a
• 30:35
  story
• 30:35
  out
• 30:36
  there
• 30:36
  and,
• 30:37
  and
• 30:37
  if
• 30:37
  that
• 30:37
  is
• 30:38
  a
• 30:38
  way
• 30:38
  to
• 30:38
  help
• 30:39
  you
• 30:39
  monetize
• 30:40
  and
• 30:40
  you're
• 30:40
  21
• 30:41
  years
• 30:41
  old,
• 30:42
  you
• 30:42
  know,
• 30:42
  coming
• 30:43
  out
• 30:43
  of
• 30:43
  college
• 30:44
  and
• 30:44
  you're
• 30:44
  getting
• 30:45
  to
• 30:45
  make
• 30:45
  your
• 30:45
  story.
• 30:46
  Yeah.
• 30:46
  And
• 30:46
  then
• 30:47
  growing
• 30:47
  your
• 30:47
  audience
• 30:48
  and
• 30:48
  then,
• 30:49
  you
• 30:49
  know,
• 30:49
  if,
• 30:49
  if
• 30:50
  the
• 30:50
  other
• 30:50
  ancillary
• 30:51
  parts
• 30:51
  of
• 30:51
  our
• 30:52
  company
• 30:53
  find
• 30:53
  interest
• 30:53
  in
• 30:53
  that,
• 30:54
  which
• 30:54
  is,
• 30:54
  you
• 30:54
  know,
• 30:55
  publishing
• 30:55
  and
• 30:56
  entertainment
• 30:57
  and
• 30:57
  consumer
• 30:58
  products,
• 30:58
  then
• 30:59
  you've
• 31:00
  essentially
• 31:00
  built
• 31:01
  a
• 31:01
  franchise
• 31:02
  and
• 31:03
  been
• 31:03
  able
• 31:03
  to
• 31:03
  monetize
• 31:04
  and
• 31:05
  have
• 31:05
  this
• 31:05
  thing
• 31:05
  grow.
• 31:06
  I
• 31:06
  mean,
• 31:06
  Rachel
• 31:08
  Smythe
• 31:09
  was
• 31:09
  a
• 31:10
  graphic
• 31:10
  designer.
• 31:11
  Still
• 31:11
  is
• 31:11
  technically,
• 31:12
  you
• 31:12
  never
• 31:13
  lose
• 31:13
  that
• 31:13
  skill.
• 31:13
  But
• 31:14
  was
• 31:14
  a
• 31:14
  graphic
• 31:15
  designer
• 31:15
  and
• 31:17
  she
• 31:17
  kind
• 31:17
  of
• 31:17
  made
• 31:18
  a
• 31:18
  bet
• 31:18
  with
• 31:18
  herself
• 31:19
  where
• 31:19
  she
• 31:19
  was
• 31:19
  like,
• 31:19
  I'm
• 31:20
  going
• 31:20
  to

  upload
• 31:20
  an

  a

  just
• 31:22
  my
• 31:22
  thing,
• 31:23
  my,
• 31:23
  you
• 31:24
  know,
• 31:24
  my
• 31:24
  passion
• 31:25
  project
• 31:25
  that
• 31:25
  I
• 31:26
  just
• 31:26
  need
• 31:26
  to
• 31:26
  do
• 31:26
  something
• 31:27
  creative
• 31:27
  for
• 31:27
  myself.
• 31:28
  And
• 31:28
  I
• 31:29
  don't
• 31:29
  think
• 31:29
  in
• 31:29
  a
• 31:29
  million
• 31:30
  years
• 31:30
  she
• 31:30
  would
• 31:31
  have
• 31:31
  thought
• 31:31
  it
• 31:31
  would
• 31:31
  have
• 31:31
  evolved
• 31:32
  into
• 31:33
  a
• 31:34
  global,
• 31:35
  you

• 31:39
  turned
• 31:40
  into
• 31:40
  animated
• 31:41
  series
• 31:41
  property.
• 31:42
  Because
• 31:42
  she
• 31:42
  was
• 31:42
  like,
• 31:43
  I
• 31:43
  just
• 31:43
  have
• 31:43
  to,
• 31:43
  I
• 31:43
  have
• 31:44
  to
• 31:44
  tell
• 31:44
  the
• 31:44
  story
• 31:44
  and
• 31:44
  I
• 31:44
  have
• 31:45
  to
• 31:45
  get
• 31:45
  it
• 31:45
  out
• 31:45
  there
• 31:45
  and
• 31:46
  you
• 31:46
  know,
• 31:47
  even
• 31:47
  if
• 31:47
  nobody
• 31:47
  reads
• 31:48
  it,
• 31:48
  at
• 31:48
  least
• 31:48
  I
• 31:48
  did
• 31:48
  it.
• 31:49
  Yeah.
• 31:50
  Is
• 31:50
  that
• 31:51
  consistency
• 31:51
  part
• 31:52
  of
• 31:52
  the
• 31:52
  requirement?
• 31:53
  So
• 31:53
  like
• 31:53
  with
• 31:53
  something
• 31:54
  like
• 31:54
  a
• 31:54
  YouTube
• 31:54
  channel,
• 31:54
  it's
• 31:55
  always
• 31:55
  like,
• 31:55
  you
• 31:56
  know,
• 31:56
  weekly
• 31:56
  uploads,
• 31:57
  that
• 31:57
  kind
• 31:57
  of
• 31:57
  thing.
• 31:57
  Is
• 31:57
  that
• 31:58
  something
• 31:58
  you
• 31:58
  see
• 31:58
  as
• 31:59
  being
• 31:59
  as
• 31:59
  integral
• 32:00
  to
• 32:00
  webtoon
• 32:00
  or
• 32:01
  is
• 32:01
  there.
• 32:02
  Yeah,
• 32:02
  so
• 32:03
  multi
• 32:04
  parts
• 32:04
  keep
• 32:04
  it
• 32:05
  going.
• 32:06
  Better
• 32:06
  to
• 32:06
  keep
• 32:06
  it
• 32:06
  running
• 32:07
  for
• 32:07
  a
• 32:07
  longer
• 32:07
  period
• 32:08
  rather
• 32:08
  than
• 32:08
  be
• 32:08
  like
• 32:09
  serialized
• 32:09
  to
• 32:09
  be
• 32:10
  like,
• 32:10
  oh,
• 32:10
  we'll
• 32:10
  just
• 32:10
  do
• 32:10
  12
• 32:11
  parts
• 32:11
  now.
• 32:11
  Or
• 32:11
  like
• 32:12
  what
• 32:12
  are
• 32:12
  you
• 32:12
  seeing
• 32:12
  working?
• 32:12
  Yeah,
• 32:13
  I
• 32:13
  mean
• 32:14
  there's
• 32:14
  certainly
• 32:14
  properties
• 32:15
  that
• 32:15
  are
• 32:15
  on
• 32:16
  the
• 32:16
  platform
• 32:16
  that
• 32:16
  kind
• 32:17
  of
• 32:18
  are,
• 32:19
  I
• 32:19
  would
• 32:20
  say
• 32:20
  like
• 32:20
  a
• 32:20
  limited
• 32:20
  series,
• 32:21
  like
• 32:21
  the
• 32:22
  creator
• 32:22
  who
• 32:23
  has
• 32:23
  like
• 32:23
  one
• 32:24
  story
• 32:24
  arc
• 32:24
  that
• 32:24
  they
• 32:24
  really
• 32:25
  want
• 32:25
  to
• 32:25
  tell
• 32:25
  and
• 32:26
  that's
• 32:26
  fantastic
• 32:27
  and
• 32:27
  we
• 32:27
  have
• 32:27
  plenty
• 32:28
  of
• 32:28
  those.
• 32:29
  But
• 32:29
  I
• 32:30
  would
• 32:30
  say
• 32:30
  the
• 32:30
  ones
• 32:30
  that
• 32:32
  tend
• 32:32
  to
• 32:33
  continue
• 32:33
  to
• 32:34
  grow
• 32:34
  in
• 32:34
  their
• 32:35
  readership
• 32:35
  tend
• 32:36
  to
• 32:36
  be
• 32:36
  ongoing.
• 32:38
  You
• 32:38
  know,
• 32:39
  it's.
• 32:39
  If
• 32:39
  you've
• 32:40
  watched
• 32:40
  all
• 32:41
  10
• 32:41
  episodes
• 32:41
  of
• 32:42
  something
• 32:42
  and
• 32:42
  there's
• 32:42
  no
• 32:42
  more
• 32:43
  10
• 32:43
  episodes
• 32:43
  to
• 32:43
  watch,
• 32:44
  you're
• 32:44
  not
• 32:44
  necessarily
• 32:45
  going
• 32:45
  to
• 32:45
  come
• 32:45
  back.
• 32:45
  Whereas
• 32:46
  what
• 32:46
  I
• 32:47
  think
• 32:47
  One
• 32:47
  piece
• 32:47
  has
• 32:48
  like
• 32:48
  35
• 32:48
  seasons
• 32:49
  or
• 32:49
  something
• 32:49
  like
• 32:50
  the
• 32:50
  anime
• 32:52
  something
• 32:52
  just
• 32:52
  crazy.
• 32:53
  And
• 32:54
  obviously
• 32:54
  people
• 32:55
  continue
• 32:55
  to
• 32:55
  watch
• 32:55
  it.
• 32:57
  So
• 32:57
  I
• 32:58
  think
• 32:58
  the
• 32:58
  weekly
• 32:59
  uploads
• 32:59
  really
• 32:59
  keep
• 33:00
  the
• 33:00
  fans
• 33:00
  like
• 33:01
  coming
• 33:01
  back
• 33:01
  and
• 33:01
  continuing
• 33:02
  to
• 33:02
  engage.
• 33:03
  So
• 33:03
  that's
• 33:03
  a
• 33:03
  cadence
• 33:04
  that
• 33:04
  we
• 33:04
  really
• 33:04
  try
• 33:05
  to
• 33:05
  encourage
• 33:05
  the
• 33:06
  creators
• 33:06
  to
• 33:06
  continue
• 33:07
  to
• 33:07
  stay
• 33:07
  on
• 33:08
  pace
• 33:08
  with.
• 33:08
  And
• 33:09
  you
• 33:09
  know
• 33:10
  it,
• 33:10
  when
• 33:10
  we
• 33:10
  talk
• 33:11
  about
• 33:11
  it,
• 33:11
  it
• 33:11
  sounds
• 33:11
  very
• 33:11
  easy,
• 33:12
  but
• 33:12
  it's,
• 33:12
  it's
• 33:13
  a
• 33:13
  really
• 33:14
  consistency.
• 33:15
  Yeah,
• 33:15
  it
• 33:15
  doesn't
• 33:15
  sound
• 33:15
  easy.
• 33:17
  Podcast,
• 33:17
  not
• 33:18
  even.
• 33:18
  We're
• 33:18
  not
• 33:18
  even
• 33:18
  drawing
• 33:19
  anything.
• 33:19
  We're
• 33:20
  just
• 33:20
  hanging
• 33:21
  out.
• 33:22
  Consistently.
• 33:24
  Totally.
• 33:25
  So
• 33:25
  I
• 33:26
  would
• 33:26
  say
• 33:26
  most
• 33:26
  of
• 33:26
  the
• 33:27
  creators
• 33:27
  try
• 33:27
  and
• 33:27
  bank,
• 33:28
  you
• 33:29
  know,
• 33:29
  20
• 33:29
  odd
• 33:30
  episodes
• 33:30
  or
• 33:30
  something
• 33:31
  so
• 33:31
  that
• 33:31
  they
• 33:31
  have
• 33:31
  like
• 33:32
  a
• 33:32
  20
• 33:32
  week
• 33:32
  pad
• 33:33
  to
• 33:33
  continue
• 33:33
  to
• 33:34
  create
• 33:34
  episodes.
• 33:36
  But
• 33:36
  yeah,
• 33:36
  there's
• 33:37
  a
• 33:37
  lot
• 33:37
  of
• 33:37
  best
• 33:37
  practices
• 33:38
  to
• 33:38
  kind
• 33:38
  of
• 33:39
  keep
• 33:39
  that
• 33:39
  cadence
• 33:40
  and
• 33:40
  keep
• 33:40
  that
• 33:41
  fandom
• 33:41
  coming
• 33:41
  back.
• 33:42
  So
• 33:42
  it's
• 33:42
  a.
• 33:43
  I
• 33:43
  think
• 33:43
  that
• 33:43
  would
• 33:44
  be
• 33:44
  a
• 33:44
  key
• 33:44
  learning
• 33:44
  for
• 33:45
  the
• 33:45
  types
• 33:45
  of
• 33:45
  producers,
• 33:46
  you
• 33:46
  know,
• 33:46
  that
• 33:47
  are.
• 33:47
  That
• 33:47
  are
• 33:47
  here.
• 33:47
  And
• 33:47
  I
• 33:47
  think
• 33:48
  that's
• 33:48
  nearly
• 33:49
  a
• 33:49
  learning
• 33:49
  from.
• 33:49
  For
• 33:50
  the
• 33:50
  traditional
• 33:50
  entertainment
• 33:51
  Ecosystem,
• 33:51
  generally
• 33:52
  speaking,
• 33:52
  it's
• 33:53
  like
• 33:54
  a
• 33:55
  webtoon
• 33:55
  is
• 33:55
  for
• 33:56
  life,
• 33:56
  not
• 33:57
  just
• 33:57
  for
• 33:57
  Christmas.
• 33:57
  Right.
• 33:58
  Like,
• 33:58
  you
• 33:59
  know,
• 33:59
  it's
• 33:59
  not
• 33:59
  just
• 34:00
  a
• 34:00
  one
• 34:00
  and
• 34:00
  done
• 34:00
  move
• 34:00
  on
• 34:01
  to
• 34:01
  the
• 34:01
  next
• 34:01
  project
• 34:01
  scenario.
• 34:02
  It
• 34:02
  works
• 34:02
  much
• 34:02
  better
• 34:03
  when
• 34:03
  you're
• 34:04
  developing
• 34:04
  something
• 34:04
  that
• 34:04
  you,
• 34:04
  you
• 34:05
  want
• 34:05
  to
• 34:05
  stay
• 34:05
  committed
• 34:06
  to.
• 34:06
  And
• 34:06
  usually
• 34:06
  I
• 34:07
  would
• 34:07
  say,
• 34:07
  you
• 34:08
  know,
• 34:08
  you're
• 34:08
  doing
• 34:08
  it
• 34:09
  like
• 34:10
  you
• 34:10
  say
• 34:10
  about
• 34:10
  Rachel,
• 34:11
  you're
• 34:11
  starting
• 34:11
  it
• 34:11
  for
• 34:11
  a
• 34:12
  reason
• 34:12
  that
• 34:12
  isn't
• 34:12
  just
• 34:13
  simply
• 34:13
  monetization.
• 34:14
  Right.
• 34:14
  Like
• 34:14
  there's
• 34:15
  other
• 34:15
  things
• 34:15
  that
• 34:15
  you're
• 34:16
  going
• 34:16
  to
• 34:16
  be
• 34:16
  getting
• 34:16
  out
• 34:16
  of
• 34:16
  it,
• 34:17
  whether
• 34:17
  it's
• 34:17
  just
• 34:17
  a
• 34:17
  bit
• 34:17
  of
• 34:17
  character
• 34:18
  development,
• 34:18
  whether
• 34:18
  it's
• 34:19
  a
• 34:19
  bit
• 34:19
  of,
• 34:19
  you
• 34:20
  know,
• 34:20
  just
• 34:20
  exploring
• 34:20
  your
• 34:20
  own
• 34:21
  ideas.
• 34:22
  You
• 34:22
  know,
• 34:23
  there
• 34:23
  needs
• 34:23
  to
• 34:23
  be
• 34:24
  other
• 34:24
  objectives
• 34:24
  to
• 34:26
  the
• 34:26
  approach,
• 34:27
  otherwise
• 34:27
  it
• 34:27
  just
• 34:27
  gets
• 34:28
  unsustainable.
• 34:29
  Yeah.
• 34:31
  And
• 34:32
  do
• 34:33
  the
• 34:33
  original
• 34:33
  creators
• 34:34
  stay
• 34:35
  involved?
• 34:35
  I
• 34:35
  assume
• 34:36
  they
• 34:36
  stay
• 34:36
  involved
• 34:37
  to
• 34:37
  some
• 34:37
  extent
• 34:38
  when
• 34:39
  one
• 34:39
  of
• 34:39
  their
• 34:39
  works
• 34:39
  is
• 34:40
  adapted.
• 34:40
  But
• 34:40
  again,
• 34:41
  if
• 34:41
  they're
• 34:41
  still
• 34:41
  creating
• 34:42
  and
• 34:42
  they're
• 34:42
  still
• 34:43
  carrying
• 34:43
  on
• 34:43
  with
• 34:44
  their
• 34:44
  opus
• 34:44
  and
• 34:44
  having
• 34:45
  to
• 34:45
  upload,
• 34:45
  how
• 34:46
  do
• 34:46
  you
• 34:46
  help
• 34:46
  them
• 34:47
  balance
• 34:47
  that?
• 34:48
  Yeah,
• 34:49
  I
• 34:49
  mean
• 34:49
  I
• 34:50
  would
• 34:50
  say
• 34:51
  first
• 34:51
  and
• 34:51
  foremost
• 34:52
  the
• 34:52
  creator's
• 34:53
  priority
• 34:53
  is
• 34:54
  if
• 34:54
  it's
• 34:55
  an
• 34:55
  ongoing
• 34:55
  series,
• 34:56
  to
• 34:56
  keep
• 34:56
  making
• 34:56
  episodes.
• 34:57
  So
• 34:58
  we're,
• 34:58
  we
• 34:58
  are
• 34:59
  not
• 34:59
  trying
• 34:59
  to
• 34:59
  make
• 35:00
  their
• 35:00
  lives
• 35:01
  more
• 35:01
  complicated
• 35:03
  and
• 35:03
  we
• 35:04
  have,
• 35:04
  we
• 35:04
  have
• 35:04
  a
• 35:04
  wonderful
• 35:05
  creator
• 35:05
  management
• 35:06
  team
• 35:06
  and
• 35:07
  if
• 35:07
  you're
• 35:07
  a
• 35:07
  webtoon
• 35:08
  original,
• 35:08
  you
• 35:08
  have
• 35:09
  editorial
• 35:09
  support,
• 35:10
  etc.
• 35:10
  So
• 35:11
  we
• 35:11
  really
• 35:12
  try
• 35:12
  to
• 35:12
  keep,
• 35:14
  keep
• 35:15
  our
• 35:15
  creators
• 35:16
  like,
• 35:16
  as
• 35:16
  involved
• 35:17
  in
• 35:17
  terms
• 35:17
  of
• 35:17
  like
• 35:18
  sharing
• 35:18
  materials
• 35:18
  with
• 35:19
  them
• 35:19
  and
• 35:20
  keeping
• 35:21
  them
• 35:21
  updated
• 35:21
  so
• 35:22
  that
• 35:22
  they're
• 35:22
  really
• 35:22
  excited
• 35:23
  about
• 35:23
  the
• 35:23
  process.
• 35:25
  But
• 35:25
  most
• 35:25
  of
• 35:26
  our
• 35:26
  creators
• 35:26
  are
• 35:26
  not
• 35:27
  really
• 35:27
  involved
• 35:27
  on
• 35:28
  like
• 35:28
  day
• 35:28
  to
• 35:29
  day
• 35:29
  productions
• 35:30
  of
• 35:30
  things.
• 35:30
  So
• 35:31
  we,
• 35:31
  we
• 35:32
  have
• 35:32
  check
• 35:32
  ins
• 35:32
  and
• 35:32
  updates
• 35:33
  and
• 35:33
  share
• 35:33
  materials.
• 35:35
  So
• 35:36
  it's,
• 35:36
  yeah,
• 35:36
  it's
• 35:36
  a
• 35:37
  balance
• 35:37
  across
• 35:37
  all
• 35:38
  of,
• 35:38
  all
• 35:38
  of
• 35:38
  the
• 35:39
  things
• 35:39
  that
• 35:39
  they
• 35:39
  have
• 35:40
  kind
• 35:40
  of
• 35:40
  going
• 35:40
  on,
• 35:41
  on,
• 35:41
  on
• 35:41
  their
• 35:42
  own
• 35:42
  individual
• 35:42
  slates.
• 35:43
  I
• 35:43
  think
• 35:43
  especially
• 35:43
  when
• 35:44
  those
• 35:44
  ancillary
• 35:44
  verticals
• 35:45
  start
• 35:45
  to
• 35:45
  kick
• 35:46
  off.
• 35:46
  So
• 35:46
  you
• 35:47
  know,
• 35:47
  if
• 35:47
  the
• 35:47
  graphic
• 35:47
  novel's
• 35:48
  being
• 35:48
  adapted
• 35:49
  and
• 35:49
  published
• 35:49
  and
• 35:50
  if
• 35:50
  the
• 35:50
  Z
• 35:50
  series
• 35:51
  is
• 35:51
  being
• 35:51
  produced
• 35:52
  and,
• 35:52
  and
• 35:52
  they're
• 35:53
  still
• 35:53
  producing
• 35:54
  episodic
• 35:54
  comics,
• 35:56
  there's
• 35:56
  a
• 35:56
  lot
• 35:56
  of
• 35:57
  moving
• 35:57
  pieces
• 35:59
  I
• 35:59
  wanted
• 35:59
  to.
• 36:00
  Touch
• 36:00
  on
• 36:00
  for
• 36:00
  a
• 36:00
  second.
• 36:00
  Wattpad
• 36:01
  because
• 36:01
  Webtoon
• 36:02
  and
• 36:02
  Wattpad
• 36:02
  as
• 36:03
  well.
• 36:03
  And
• 36:03
  wattpad
• 36:04
  is
• 36:04
  another
• 36:04
  kind
• 36:04
  of
• 36:05
  fascinating
• 36:05
  platform
• 36:06
  where
• 36:07
  folks
• 36:08
  are
• 36:08
  self
• 36:08
  publishing
• 36:09
  novels.
• 36:09
  I
• 36:09
  know
• 36:10
  like
• 36:10
  there's
• 36:10
  been
• 36:10
  a
• 36:10
  number
• 36:10
  of
• 36:11
  success
• 36:11
  stories
• 36:11
  out
• 36:11
  of
• 36:11
  wattpad
• 36:12
  too.
• 36:12
  So
• 36:12
  can
• 36:12
  you
• 36:12
  tell
• 36:12
  us
• 36:12
  a
• 36:13
  little
• 36:13
  bit
• 36:13
  about
• 36:13
  that
• 36:13
  that's
• 36:14
  in
• 36:14
  your
• 36:14
  rem.
• 36:16
  So
• 36:16
  Watt,
• 36:18
  essentially
• 36:18
  the
• 36:18
  novel
• 36:19
  equivalent
• 36:20
  to
• 36:20
  Webtoon.
• 36:20
  So
• 36:21
  it
• 36:21
  is
• 36:21
  a
• 36:21
  Canadian
• 36:22
  based
• 36:22
  company,
• 36:24
  about
• 36:25
  55
• 36:25
  different
• 36:25
  languages
• 36:26
  available
• 36:26
  on
• 36:27
  that
• 36:27
  platform
• 36:28
  and
• 36:28
  creators
• 36:29
  reading
• 36:29
  and
• 36:30
  writing
• 36:30
  all
• 36:30
  over
• 36:31
  the
• 36:31
  world,
• 36:31
  but
• 36:32
  in
• 36:32
  a
• 36:32
  novel
• 36:32
  format.
• 36:33
  So
• 36:34
  I
• 36:35
  think
• 36:35
  we've,
• 36:35
  we've
• 36:36
  kind
• 36:36
  of
• 36:36
  encouraged
• 36:36
  creators
• 36:37
  to
• 36:37
  start
• 36:37
  to
• 36:38
  similar
• 36:38
  to
• 36:38
  kind
• 36:38
  of
• 36:39
  an
• 36:39
  episode
• 36:39
  a
• 36:39
  week,
• 36:40
  chapter
• 36:41
  a
• 36:41
  week.
• 36:41
  So
• 36:41
  there's,
• 36:42
  there's
• 36:42
  kind
• 36:42
  of
• 36:42
  a
• 36:42
  cadence
• 36:44
  pushed
• 36:44
  now,
• 36:44
  but
• 36:44
  some,
• 36:45
  some
• 36:45
  creators
• 36:45
  will
• 36:46
  upload
• 36:46
  their
• 36:46
  entire
• 36:47
  manuscript
• 36:47
  and
• 36:48
  put
• 36:48
  the
• 36:48
  whole
• 36:49
  novel
• 36:49
  up
• 36:50
  in
• 36:50
  one
• 36:51
  fell
• 36:51
  swoop.
• 36:52
  And
• 36:53
  our
• 36:53
  team
• 36:53
  kind
• 36:54
  of
• 36:54
  mines
• 36:54
  that
• 36:54
  platform
• 36:55
  as
• 36:55
  well
• 36:55
  for
• 36:56
  adaptations.
• 36:56
  And
• 36:57
  as
• 36:57
  you
• 36:57
  mentioned,
• 36:57
  Emily,
• 36:57
  we've
• 36:58
  seen
• 36:58
  a
• 36:58
  lot
• 36:58
  of
• 36:58
  successful
• 36:59
  properties
• 37:00
  come
• 37:00
  out
• 37:00
  of
• 37:00
  there.
• 37:00
  The
• 37:01
  Kissing

• 37:01
  movies
• 37:02
  with
• 37:02

• 37:02
  Elordi
• 37:03
  and
• 37:04
  Joey
• 37:04
  Keith
• 37:04
  were
• 37:05
  based
• 37:05
  off
• 37:05
  of
• 37:05
  a
• 37:05
  wattpad
• 37:06
  novel.
• 37:07
  We
• 37:08
  had
• 37:08
  a
• 37:08
  wonderful
• 37:09
  film
• 37:09
  that
• 37:09
  our
• 37:10
  team
• 37:10
  did
• 37:10
  with
• 37:10
  two
• 37:11
  to
• 37:11
  be
• 37:11
  called
• 37:11
  Sidelined,
• 37:12
  that
• 37:12
  ended
• 37:13
  up
• 37:13
  spinning
• 37:13
  off
• 37:14
  some
• 37:14
  additional
• 37:15
  adaptations
• 37:15
  because
• 37:16
  it
• 37:16
  was
• 37:17
  so
• 37:17
  well
• 37:17
  received,
• 37:19
  which
• 37:19
  is
• 37:19
  really
• 37:19
  exciting.
• 37:20
  So
• 37:20
  our,
• 37:20
  our
• 37:21
  film
• 37:21
  team
• 37:21
  has
• 37:21
  had
• 37:21
  a
• 37:22
  lot
• 37:22
  of
• 37:22
  success
• 37:22
  with
• 37:23
  My
• 37:23
  Life.
• 37:23
  With
• 37:23
  the
• 37:23
  Water
• 37:23
  Boys
• 37:24
  is
• 37:24
  wattpad
• 37:24
  as
• 37:24
  well,
• 37:25
  isn't
• 37:25
  it?
• 37:25
  Yes.
• 37:26
  Yeah.
• 37:27
  I
• 37:27
  think
• 37:27
  in
• 37:27
  large
• 37:28
  part
• 37:28
  because
• 37:29
  in
• 37:29
  terms
• 37:29
  of
• 37:29
  like
• 37:30
  novel
• 37:31
  to
• 37:31
  film
• 37:31
  it
• 37:32
  again
• 37:32
  is
• 37:32
  like
• 37:33
  enclosed
• 37:34
  story.
• 37:35
  But
• 37:35
  we
• 37:35
  have
• 37:36
  a
• 37:36
  good
• 37:36
  number
• 37:36
  of
• 37:36
  wattpad
• 37:37
  titles
• 37:37
  on,
• 37:38
  on
• 37:38
  our
• 37:38
  slate
• 37:39
  on
• 37:39
  the
• 37:39
  animation
• 37:39
  side,
• 37:40
  which
• 37:40
  is
• 37:41
  really
• 37:41
  fun
• 37:42
  when
• 37:42
  we
• 37:42
  get
• 37:42
  to
• 37:43
  kind
• 37:43
  of
• 37:43
  take
• 37:43
  novels
• 37:44
  over,
• 37:44
  I
• 37:45
  think
• 37:45
  because
• 37:45
  in
• 37:45
  large
• 37:45
  part
• 37:46
  there
• 37:46
  are
• 37:46
  no
• 37:46
  visuals
• 37:47
  to
• 37:47
  support
• 37:47
  it.
• 37:48
  So
• 37:48
  it's
• 37:48
  like
• 37:49
  a
• 37:49
  whole
• 37:49
  other
• 37:49
  playground
• 37:50
  for
• 37:50
  us
• 37:50
  to
• 37:51
  figure
• 37:51
  out
• 37:52
  what
• 37:53
  does
• 37:53
  this
• 37:53
  world
• 37:53
  get
• 37:54
  to
• 37:54
  look
• 37:54
  like.
• 37:54
  But
• 37:55
  I
• 37:55
  think
• 37:56
  the
• 37:56
  two
• 37:56
  companies
• 37:57
  came
• 37:57
  together
• 37:58
  several
• 37:58
  years
• 37:58
  ago.
• 37:59
  The
• 37:59
  parent
• 37:59
  company
• 37:59
  of
• 38:00
  webtoon
• 38:00
  acquired
• 38:01
  wattpad,
• 38:02
  and
• 38:02
  with
• 38:03
  that
• 38:03
  acquisition,
• 38:04
  it
• 38:04
  really
• 38:05
  did
• 38:05
  kind
• 38:05
  of
• 38:05
  take
• 38:05
  a
• 38:06
  larger
• 38:07
  look
• 38:07
  at
• 38:07
  the
• 38:07
  fact
• 38:07
  that
• 38:08
  both
• 38:08
  of
• 38:08
  these
• 38:08
  platforms
• 38:09
  are
• 38:09
  a
• 38:10
  democratization
• 38:10
  of
• 38:11
  storytelling.
• 38:12
  So
• 38:12
  how
• 38:12
  do
• 38:13
  we
• 38:13
  really
• 38:13
  put
• 38:13
  the
• 38:14
  power
• 38:14
  of
• 38:14
  story
• 38:15
  back
• 38:15
  into
• 38:16
  the
• 38:16
  hands
• 38:16
  of
• 38:17
  the
• 38:17
  user?
• 38:18
  And
• 38:19
  both
• 38:19
  companies
• 38:19
  had
• 38:20
  such
• 38:20
  a
• 38:20
  similar
• 38:21
  ethos
• 38:21
  that
• 38:21
  it
• 38:21
  made
• 38:22
  a
• 38:22
  lot
• 38:22
  of
• 38:22
  sense
• 38:22
  for
• 38:23
  us
• 38:23
  to
• 38:23
  kind
• 38:23
  of
• 38:24
  join
• 38:24
  forces,
• 38:25
  if
• 38:25
  you
• 38:25
  will.
• 38:25
  So
• 38:27
  we,
• 38:27
  we
• 38:27
  support

• 38:50
  amazing
• 38:50
  partners
• 38:51
  on

• 38:52
  well
• 38:52
  as

  our

  entertainment
• 38:53
  side.
• 38:55
  Yeah,
• 38:55
  no,
• 38:57
  the
• 38:57
  democratization
• 38:58
  of
• 38:58
  storytelling
• 38:58
  for
• 38:59
  sure.
• 38:59
  So
• 39:00
  what,
• 39:00
  what
• 39:00
  Cool.
• 39:01
  What
• 39:01
  do
• 39:01
  you
• 39:01
  have
• 39:01
  upcoming
• 39:01
  that
• 39:01
  you're
• 39:02
  excited
• 39:02
  about
• 39:03
  on
• 39:03
  your
• 39:03
  site,
• 39:03
  Sydney?
• 39:04
  What
• 39:04
  from
• 39:04
  a
• 39:05
  kid's
• 39:05
  point
• 39:05
  of
• 39:05
  view
• 39:05
  particularly
• 39:06
  as
• 39:06
  well.
• 39:06
  I'd
• 39:06
  love
• 39:06
  to
• 39:06
  know.
• 39:07
  Yeah,
• 39:08
  I
• 39:08
  mean,
• 39:08
  we
• 39:09
  obviously
• 39:09
  have
• 39:10
  announced
• 39:10
  Lore
• 39:11
  Olympus,
• 39:12
  which
• 39:12
  I'm
• 39:12
  very
• 39:13
  excited
• 39:13
  about.
• 39:13
  And
• 39:14
  while
• 39:14
  that
• 39:15
  does
• 39:15
  have,
• 39:15
  like,
• 39:15
  more
• 39:16
  adult
• 39:17
  themes
• 39:17
  in
• 39:18
  certain
• 39:18
  ways,
• 39:18
  I
• 39:19
  think
• 39:19
  it
• 39:19
  will
• 39:19
  be
• 39:20
  appropriate,
• 39:20
  at
• 39:21
  least
• 39:21
  for
• 39:21
  teens.
• 39:22
  I
• 39:22
  don't
• 39:22
  know,
• 39:23
  I
• 39:23
  don't
• 39:23
  know
• 39:23
  if
• 39:23
  a
• 39:23
  six
• 39:24
  year
• 39:24
  old
• 39:24
  necessarily
• 39:25
  going
• 39:25
  to
• 39:25
  be
• 39:25
  super
• 39:25
  excited
• 39:26
  to
• 39:26
  watch
• 39:26
  it,
• 39:27
  but
• 39:27
  I
• 39:28
  think,
• 39:28
  you
• 39:28
  know,
• 39:28
  across
• 39:29
  our
• 39:29
  slate,
• 39:30
  I've
• 39:31
  been
• 39:31
  really
• 39:31
  excited
• 39:32
  at
• 39:32
  the
• 39:33
  properties
• 39:33
  that
• 39:33
  we're
• 39:33
  building
• 39:34
  out
• 39:34
  to
• 39:34
  fill
• 39:35
  that
• 39:35
  kind
• 39:35
  of
• 39:37
  6
• 39:37
  to
• 39:38
  16
• 39:39
  age
• 39:39
  demographic.
• 39:41
  A
• 39:41
  lot
• 39:41
  of
• 39:41
  those
• 39:42
  titles
• 39:42
  haven't
• 39:42
  been
• 39:43
  announced,
• 39:43
  but
• 39:43
  if
• 39:44
  you,
• 39:44
  you
• 39:44
  know,
• 39:44
  look
• 39:45
  at
• 39:45
  the
• 39:45
  platforms
• 39:45
  and
• 39:46
  see
• 39:46
  some
• 39:46
  of
• 39:46
  the
• 39:46
  titles
• 39:46
  that
• 39:47
  are
• 39:47
  the
• 39:47
  most
• 39:48
  successful
• 39:48
  or
• 39:49
  feel
• 39:49
  like
• 39:49
  they
• 39:49
  offer
• 39:50
  themselves
• 39:50
  to
• 39:52
  that
• 39:52
  younger
• 39:52
  demographic,
• 39:53
  like
• 39:54
  Cloves
• 39:54
  of
• 39:55
  Death
• 39:55
  is
• 39:55
  an
• 39:55
  amazing
• 39:56
  title.
• 39:57
  It's
• 39:58
  a
• 39:58
  really
• 39:58
  amazing
• 39:58
  mashup
• 39:59
  of
• 39:59
  like
• 40:00
  the
• 40:00
  Walking
• 40:01
  Dead
• 40:01
  meets
• 40:01
  My
• 40:01
  Little
• 40:01
  Pony.
• 40:03
  Like
• 40:03
  a
• 40:03
  sprinkle
• 40:04
  of
• 40:04
  Avatar,
• 40:04
  the
• 40:05
  Last
• 40:05
  Airbender.
• 40:07
  And
• 40:07
  that
• 40:07
  creator,
• 40:08
  so
• 40:09
  amazing
• 40:10
  she
• 40:11
  actually
• 40:11
  went
• 40:11
  to
• 40:12
  school
• 40:12
  for.
• 40:14
  I
• 40:14
  believe
• 40:14
  she
• 40:14
  went
• 40:15
  to
• 40:15
  school
• 40:15
  for
• 40:15
  comics,
• 40:16
  or
• 40:17
  maybe
• 40:17
  it
• 40:17
  was
• 40:17
  graphic
• 40:18
  design,
• 40:18
  but
• 40:18
  took
• 40:18
  a
• 40:18
  comics
• 40:19
  class
• 40:19
  while
• 40:20
  she
• 40:20
  was
• 40:20
  in
• 40:20
  college.
• 40:21
  And
• 40:22
  her
• 40:22
  professor,
• 40:23
  like,
• 40:23
  kind
• 40:23
  of
• 40:23
  just
• 40:23
  planted
• 40:24
  the
• 40:24
  seed
• 40:24
  of
• 40:24
  like,
• 40:25
  well,
• 40:25
  you
• 40:25
  could
• 40:25
  always
• 40:25
  make
• 40:25
  a
• 40:26
  comic
• 40:26
  if
• 40:26
  you
• 40:26
  want
• 40:26
  to.
• 40:27
  And
• 40:27
  I
• 40:28
  think
• 40:28
  she
• 40:28
  had
• 40:29
  thought
• 40:29
  she
• 40:29
  would
• 40:29
  work
• 40:29
  in
• 40:30
  entertainment
• 40:30
  and,
• 40:31
  you
• 40:31
  know,
• 40:32
  life
• 40:32
  happened
• 40:32
  and
• 40:32
  she
• 40:33
  has
• 40:33
  a
• 40:33
  beautiful
• 40:34
  family
• 40:34
  and
• 40:35
  then
• 40:35
  she
• 40:35
  made
• 40:35
  this
• 40:35
  comic.
• 40:36
  And
• 40:36
  this
• 40:36
  comic
• 40:37
  is
• 40:37
  one
• 40:38
  of
• 40:38
  my
• 40:38
  favorites
• 40:38
  on
• 40:38
  the
• 40:39
  platform.
• 40:39
  It's
• 40:40
  so
• 40:40
  incredible
• 40:40
  and
• 40:41
  good
• 40:41
  and
• 40:41
  if
• 40:41
  you
• 40:41
  go
• 40:41
  look
• 40:42
  at
• 40:42
  the
• 40:42
  art,
• 40:42
  the
• 40:42
  art
• 40:42
  is
• 40:43
  just
• 40:43
  fantastic.
• 40:44
  And
• 40:46
  I
• 40:46
  just
• 40:46
  think
• 40:46
  that's
• 40:46
  like
• 40:47
  such
• 40:47
  a
• 40:47
  cool
• 40:47
  story
• 40:47
  that,
• 40:48
  you
• 40:48
  know,
• 40:48
  she.
• 40:49
  She's
• 40:49
  a
• 40:49
  mom
• 40:49
  and
• 40:50
  doing
• 40:50
  her
• 40:50
  mom
• 40:50
  thing,
• 40:50
  but
• 40:51
  made
• 40:51
  this
• 40:51
  amazing
• 40:51
  comic
• 40:52
  and
• 40:52
  it's
• 40:52
  reached
• 40:53
  that
• 40:53
  fandom
• 40:53
  and
• 40:54
  audience
• 40:54
  and
• 40:55
  now
• 40:55
  it's
• 40:55
  published
• 40:55
  into
• 40:56
  a
• 40:56
  graphic
• 40:56
  novel.
• 40:56
  But
• 40:57
  that
• 40:57
  one
• 40:58
  in
• 40:58
  particular,
• 40:58
  I
• 40:58
  think
• 40:58
  sits
• 40:59
  so
• 40:59
  squarely
• 41:00
  in
• 41:00
  that
• 41:00
  underserved
• 41:01
  audience
• 41:01
  demographic
• 41:02
  where
• 41:02
  it's
• 41:03
  characters
• 41:04
  and
• 41:04
  emotions
• 41:04
  with
• 41:05
  real
• 41:05
  stakes
• 41:06
  and
• 41:06
  a
• 41:06
  journey
• 41:07
  kind
• 41:07
  of
• 41:07
  adventure
• 41:08
  story
• 41:08
  and
• 41:09
  bigger
• 41:10
  lore
• 41:10
  that
• 41:10
  unfolds,
• 41:11
  but
• 41:11
  a
• 41:11
  lot
• 41:11
  of
• 41:12
  like,
• 41:12
  silly,
• 41:13
  fun
• 41:13
  relationships.
• 41:15
  Yeah.
• 41:15
  So
• 41:16
  I
• 41:16
  highly
• 41:16
  recommend
• 41:17
  Hooves
• 41:17
  of
• 41:17
  Death.
• 41:19
  Yes.
• 41:21
  Our
• 41:21
  brand
• 41:21
  management
• 41:21
  friends
• 41:22
  at
• 41:22
  Hasbro
• 41:22
  might
• 41:22
  have
• 41:23
  been.
• 41:23
  You
• 41:23
  might
• 41:23
  have
• 41:23
  given
• 41:23
  them
• 41:24
  palpitations
• 41:24
  at
• 41:24
  that
• 41:24
  picture.
• 41:27
  Fair
• 41:27
  enough.
• 41:31
  I
• 41:31
  have
• 41:31
  one
• 41:32
  final
• 41:32
  question
• 41:32
  before
• 41:33
  we
• 41:33
  wrap
• 41:33
  up.
• 41:34
  And
• 41:34
  it's.
• 41:35
  I
• 41:35
  mean,
• 41:35
  you
• 41:36
  mentioned
• 41:36
  that
• 41:36
  you're
• 41:36
  an
• 41:36
  animation
• 41:37
  professor.
• 41:39
  What
• 41:40
  are
• 41:40
  your
• 41:40
  students
• 41:41
  reading
• 41:41
  and
• 41:41
  watching
• 41:43
  that
• 41:43
  you
• 41:44
  think,
• 41:44
  oh,
• 41:44
  I'm
• 41:45
  getting
• 41:45
  a
• 41:45
  glimpse
• 41:45
  here
• 41:45
  into
• 41:46
  where
• 41:47
  we're
• 41:47
  heading
• 41:47
  in
• 41:47
  the
• 41:48
  future.
• 41:48
  Is
• 41:48
  there
• 41:48
  anything
• 41:48
  that
• 41:49
  you
• 41:49
  hear
• 41:49
  that
• 41:50
  they're
• 41:50
  watching
• 41:50
  or
• 41:50
  reading
• 41:51
  or
• 41:51
  you
• 41:51
  think,
• 41:51
  interesting?
• 41:52
  Okay,
• 41:52
  I'm
• 41:52
  going
• 41:52
  to
• 41:52
  keep
• 41:52
  an
• 41:53
  eye
• 41:53
  on
• 41:53
  that.
• 41:53
  Yes,
• 41:55
  I.
• 41:55
  It's
• 41:55
  funny,
• 41:56
  you
• 41:57
  know,
• 41:57
  I.
• 41:57
  One
• 41:57
  of
• 41:58
  the
• 41:58
  classes
• 41:58
  that
• 41:58
  I
• 41:58
  teach
• 41:59
  is
• 41:59
  how
• 42:00
  to
• 42:00
  develop
• 42:00
  and
• 42:00
  pitch
• 42:00
  a
• 42:01
  television
• 42:01
  series.
• 42:01
  And
• 42:01
  at
• 42:02
  the
• 42:02
  end
• 42:02
  of
• 42:02
  that
• 42:02
  semester,
• 42:03
  I
• 42:04
  bring
• 42:04
  in
• 42:04
  a
• 42:04
  bunch
• 42:04
  of
• 42:04
  executives
• 42:05
  because
• 42:05
  by
• 42:05
  the
• 42:06
  end
• 42:06
  of
• 42:06
  the
• 42:06
  semester,
• 42:06
  they're
• 42:06
  tired
• 42:07
  of
• 42:07
  hearing
• 42:07
  from
• 42:07
  me.
• 42:08
  So
• 42:09
  I,
• 42:09
  you
• 42:09
  know,
• 42:09
  I
• 42:09
  call
• 42:10
  all

  So
• 42:15
  my
• 42:15
  students
• 42:15
  get
• 42:15
  to
• 42:15
  pitch

  places.

  And
• 42:23
  if
• 42:24
  any
• 42:24
  of

• 42:27
  But
• 42:28
  so
• 42:28
  they
• 42:28
  come
• 42:28
  and
• 42:29
  they,
• 42:29
  they
• 42:29
  basically
• 42:29
  do
• 42:30
  speed
• 42:30
  pitches.
• 42:31
  And
• 42:31
  then
• 42:32
  at
• 42:32
  the
• 42:32
  end
• 42:33
  of
• 42:33
  that
• 42:33
  class,
• 42:34
  I
• 42:35
  let
• 42:35
  this
• 42:35
  executive
• 42:36
  group
• 42:36
  of
• 42:37
  folks
• 42:37
  who
• 42:37
  are
• 42:37
  working
• 42:38
  in
• 42:38
  the
• 42:38
  industry
• 42:38
  and
• 42:38
  green
• 42:39
  lighting
• 42:39
  projects
• 42:39
  ask
• 42:40
  the
• 42:40
  question
• 42:41
  back,
• 42:41
  what
• 42:41
  are
• 42:41
  you
• 42:41
  reading?
• 42:42
  What
• 42:42
  are
• 42:42
  you
• 42:42
  watching?
• 42:44
  And
• 42:44
  I
• 42:44
  will
• 42:44
  say
• 42:46
  most
• 42:47
  of
• 42:47
  the
• 42:47
  students
• 42:48
  are
• 42:48
  not
• 42:49
  watching
• 42:52
  the
• 42:52
  adult
• 42:53
  comedies
• 42:54
  that
• 42:54
  you
• 42:54
  would
• 42:54
  think
• 42:55
  that
• 42:56
  a
• 42:56
  21,
• 42:57
  19,
• 42:57
  20
• 42:58
  year
• 42:58
  old
• 42:58
  audience
• 42:59
  is
• 42:59
  watching.
• 43:00
  They
• 43:01
  are
• 43:01
  really
• 43:02
  watching
• 43:03
  anime.
• 43:06
  Free
• 43:06
  Ren
• 43:06
  is
• 43:07
  like
• 43:07
  a
• 43:07
  top
• 43:08
  title
• 43:08
  right
• 43:08
  now.
• 43:09
  Jujutsu
• 43:10
  Kaisen
• 43:10
  is
• 43:11
  a
• 43:11
  top
• 43:11
  title
• 43:12
  right
• 43:12
  now
• 43:12
  for
• 43:12
  them,
• 43:14
  but
• 43:14
  also
• 43:14
  like
• 43:14
  deep
• 43:15
  cuts,
• 43:15
  like
• 43:16
  titles
• 43:17
  that
• 43:17
  like
• 43:18
  the
• 43:18
  Average
• 43:19
  Joe
• 43:19
  has
• 43:19
  definitely
• 43:20
  not
• 43:20
  heard
• 43:21
  of.
• 43:21
  And
• 43:22
  I
• 43:22
  think
• 43:22
  in
• 43:23
  large
• 43:23
  part
• 43:23
  because
• 43:24
  some
• 43:24
  of
• 43:24
  those
• 43:24
  more
• 43:25
  abstract
• 43:26
  titles
• 43:27
  have
• 43:28
  queer
• 43:28
  representation
• 43:29
  and
• 43:29
  LGBTQ
• 43:30
  storylines.
• 43:31
  And
• 43:31
  I
• 43:31
  think,
• 43:32
  I
• 43:33
  think
• 43:33
  the
• 43:33
  students
• 43:34
  feel
• 43:34
  like
• 43:36
  some
• 43:36
  of
• 43:36
  those
• 43:37
  stories
• 43:38
  that
• 43:38
  maybe
• 43:38
  aren't
• 43:39
  quite
• 43:39
  as
• 43:39
  mainstream
• 43:40
  reflect
• 43:41
  a
• 43:41
  lot
• 43:41
  more
• 43:41
  of
• 43:42
  their
• 43:42
  own
• 43:42
  personal
• 43:42
  experiences
• 43:43
  or
• 43:44
  their
• 43:44
  own
• 43:44
  personal
• 43:45
  expressions
• 43:45
  of
• 43:46
  who
• 43:46
  they
• 43:46
  are.
• 43:48
  So
• 43:49
  a
• 43:49
  lot
• 43:49
  of
• 43:49
  that,
• 43:49
  there's
• 43:50
  a
• 43:50
  lot
• 43:50
  of
• 43:50
  re
• 43:50
  watching
• 43:51
  of
• 43:52
  shows
• 43:53
  that
• 43:54
  continue
• 43:54
  to
• 43:55
  bubble
• 43:55
  to
• 43:55
  the
• 43:55
  top.
• 43:56
  People
• 43:57
  still
• 43:57
  love
• 43:57
  over
• 43:57
  the
• 43:58
  Garden
• 43:58
  Wall
• 43:58
  and
• 43:58
  people
• 43:59
  still
• 43:59
  love
• 44:00
  the
• 44:00
  Last
• 44:00
  Airbender
• 44:01
  and
• 44:01
  they
• 44:01
  still
• 44:01
  love
• 44:04
  Adventure
• 44:04
  Time,
• 44:04
  of
• 44:05
  course,
• 44:05
  and
• 44:06
  Steven
• 44:07
  Universe
• 44:08
  and
• 44:08
  Phineas
• 44:08
  and
• 44:09
  Herb,
• 44:09
  like
• 44:09
  titles
• 44:10
  that
• 44:10
  I
• 44:10
  think
• 44:11
  from
• 44:11
  the
• 44:11
  media
• 44:12
  perspective,
• 44:12
  we
• 44:12
  might
• 44:13
  have
• 44:13
  thought
• 44:14
  kind
• 44:14
  of
• 44:14
  came
• 44:14
  and
• 44:14
  went
• 44:15
  and
• 44:15
  no
• 44:15
  one's
• 44:15
  really
• 44:16
  thinking
• 44:16
  about
• 44:16
  anymore.
• 44:17
  But
• 44:17
  the.
• 44:18
  My
• 44:18
  students
• 44:19
  love
• 44:20
  those
• 44:20
  shows.
• 44:20
  They
• 44:21
  love
• 44:21
  them.
• 44:21
  They
• 44:21
  love
• 44:21
  to
• 44:22
  go
• 44:22
  back
• 44:22
  and
• 44:22
  watch
• 44:22
  them.
• 44:24
  Yeah,
• 44:26
  I
• 44:26
  think
• 44:26
  that's
• 44:27
  something
• 44:27
  we're
• 44:27
  seeing.
• 44:28
  We
• 44:28
  see
• 44:28
  a
• 44:28
  lot
• 44:29
  as
• 44:29
  well.
• 44:29
  And
• 44:29
  I
• 44:29
  think
• 44:30
  I've
• 44:30
  had
• 44:30
  this
• 44:30
  conversation
• 44:31
  with
• 44:31
  a
• 44:31
  few
• 44:31
  folks
• 44:32
  this
• 44:32
  week.
• 44:32
  It's
• 44:32
  like
• 44:32
  as
• 44:33
  an
• 44:33
  industry,
• 44:33
  we
• 44:33
  think
• 44:33
  of
• 44:34
  something
• 44:34
  as
• 44:34
  a
• 44:34
  pipeline,
• 44:35
  but
• 44:35
  for
• 44:35
  the
• 44:36
  audience,
• 44:36
  there's
• 44:36
  still
• 44:37
  plenty
• 44:37
  of
• 44:37
  stuff
• 44:37
  that's
• 44:38
  there.
• 44:38
  And
• 44:38
  Evergreen
• 44:39
  and
• 44:39
  they're
• 44:39
  returning
• 44:40
  to.
• 44:41
  Yeah,
• 44:42
  there's
• 44:42
  a.
• 44:42
  And
• 44:42
  there's
• 44:43
  something
• 44:43
  about
• 44:43
  the
• 44:43
  appeal
• 44:43
  of
• 44:44
  that
• 44:44
  nostalgia
• 44:44
  as
• 44:44
  well.
• 44:45
  Yeah.
• 44:46
  For
• 44:46
  tv.
• 44:48
  Yeah,
• 44:48
  yeah.
• 44:48
  Well.
• 44:49
  And
• 44:49
  characters
• 44:49
  that
• 44:50
  you
• 44:50
  really
• 44:50
  care
• 44:51
  about.
• 44:52
  Like,
• 44:52
  I
• 44:53
  think,
• 44:54
  I
• 44:54
  think
• 44:54
  Steven
• 44:55
  Universe
• 44:55
  continues
• 44:56
  to
• 44:56
  be
• 44:56
  something
• 44:56
  that
• 44:56
  they
• 44:57
  point
• 44:57
  to
• 44:58
  because
• 44:58
  it
• 44:58
  was
• 44:59
  one
• 44:59
  of
• 44:59
  the
• 44:59
  first
• 44:59
  titles
• 44:59
  that
• 45:00
  had
• 45:00
  queer
• 45:01
  representation.
• 45:03
  I
• 45:03
  think
• 45:03
  Avatar
• 45:04
  is
• 45:05
  probably
• 45:05
  going
• 45:05
  to
• 45:05
  be
• 45:05
  one
• 45:06
  of
• 45:06
  the
• 45:06
  most
• 45:06
  evergreen
• 45:06
  animated
• 45:07
  series
• 45:08
  of
• 45:08
  all
• 45:08
  time,
• 45:09
  in
• 45:09
  large
• 45:09
  part
• 45:09
  because
• 45:10
  it
• 45:10
  was
• 45:11
  kind
• 45:11
  of
• 45:11
  the
• 45:11
  first
• 45:11
  of
• 45:11
  its
• 45:11
  kind
• 45:12
  to
• 45:12
  have
• 45:12
  a
• 45:12
  significantly
• 45:13
  more
• 45:14
  serialized
• 45:15
  storyline.
• 45:17
  Because
• 45:17
  I
• 45:18
  think
• 45:18
  up
• 45:18
  until
• 45:18
  that
• 45:18
  point,
• 45:19
  you
• 45:19
  know,
• 45:19
  it
• 45:19
  was.
• 45:19
  It
• 45:20
  was
• 45:20
  really
• 45:20
  episodic
• 45:21
  for
• 45:21
  the
• 45:21
  6
• 45:22
  to
• 45:22
  11
• 45:22
  demographic.
• 45:25
  You
• 45:25
  know,
• 45:26
  I
• 45:26
  think
• 45:28
  Gravity
• 45:28
  Falls
• 45:29
  continues
• 45:30
  to
• 45:30
  be
• 45:30
  a
• 45:30
  fan
• 45:30
  favorite
• 45:31
  and.
• 45:32
  And
• 45:32
  again,
• 45:32
  it's
• 45:33
  because
• 45:33
  it's
• 45:33
  characters
• 45:34
  you
• 45:34
  love
• 45:34
  and
• 45:34
  worlds
• 45:35
  that
• 45:35
  you
• 45:35
  love
• 45:35
  and.
• 45:37
  And
• 45:37
  stories
• 45:37
  that
• 45:38
  feel
• 45:39
  kind
• 45:39
  of
• 45:39
  earned
• 45:40
  in
• 45:40
  that
• 45:40
  way.
• 45:40
  And
• 45:41
  I
• 45:41
  don't
• 45:41
  think,
• 45:42
  I
• 45:42
  don't
• 45:42
  think
• 45:42
  you
• 45:43
  have
• 45:43
  to
• 45:43
  be
• 45:43
  so
• 45:44
  adult
• 45:44
  and
• 45:45
  so
• 45:45
  sophisticated
• 45:46
  when
• 45:46
  you're
• 45:46
  telling
• 45:46
  stories
• 45:47
  that
• 45:47
  feel
• 45:47
  like
• 45:47
  they
• 45:48
  have
• 45:48
  emotional
• 45:49
  beats.
• 45:50
  I
• 45:50
  mean,
• 45:50
  Bluey
• 45:50
  is
• 45:51
  a
• 45:51
  great
• 45:51
  example
• 45:51
  of.
• 45:52
  Yeah.
• 45:52
  You
• 45:53
  know,
• 45:53
  who
• 45:53
  is
• 45:54
  the
• 45:54
  audience
• 45:54
  for
• 45:54
  Bluey?
• 45:55
  What
• 45:55
  is
• 45:55
  that
• 45:55
  demographic?
• 45:56
  Because
• 45:57
  I
• 45:57
  know
• 45:58
  grown
• 45:58
  people
• 45:59
  at
• 45:59
  the
• 45:59
  end
• 45:59
  of
• 45:59
  the
• 45:59
  workday
• 46:00
  who
• 46:00
  turn
• 46:00
  Bluey
• 46:01
  on
• 46:01
  and
• 46:01
  plop
• 46:02
  on
• 46:02
  the
• 46:02
  couch
• 46:02
  as,
• 46:03
  you
• 46:03
  know,
• 46:03
  30,
• 46:04
  40
• 46:04
  year
• 46:04
  olds
• 46:05
  with
• 46:05
  no
• 46:05
  children
• 46:06
  present
• 46:06
  to
• 46:07
  decompress
• 46:08
  at
• 46:08
  the
• 46:08
  end
• 46:08
  of
• 46:08
  the
• 46:08
  day.
• 46:09
  And
• 46:09
  obviously
• 46:10
  tons
• 46:10
  of

  love
