Content Producing: When West Meets East

On September 22nd, 2019, Sino Screen presented its third Speaker Series about content producing. We were glad to invite our friend Mike Myles who is a veteran in cross-cultural collaborations working with top companies from CBS to iQiyi, and known for his hits such as The Rap of China.

In the first half of the panel, along with questions from the host Wang Yue, Mike Myles first gave us a unique interpretation of Hollywood “sociality.”

In this industry that emphasizes relationships, he thinks that “building relationships” is more important than “to social”. Also, in the film and television industry, no matter what profession, you need to have your own creative perspectives and positions, and you must stick to your own position.

He believes that the importance of leadership is better than professionalism in the work of producers. The most important role of the producer is to unite the power of the group and let each person release their abilities to achieve the desired goal.

Finally, when talking about the exchanges between Chinese and Western film and television industry, he said that in his years of cooperation experience, both China and the West need to learn from each other's strengths.
