Short dramas offer a distinctive storytelling format, encapsulating narrative essence within brief time frames, usually optimized for vertical viewing on mobile devices, spanning 1 to 3 minutes per episode. Integrated into series, each episode contributes to complete storylines unfolding across 40 to over 100 episodes. Short dramas usually offer viewers a virtual escape, presenting narratives that may resonate with emotions, and fostering a sense of connection.
FlexTV has already formed a mature business model that integrates content production, distribution, and operation. FlexTV is available in more than 100 countries. Our production team film in various locations including, but not limited to, United States, Mexico, Australia, Thailand, and Philippines. We will continue to expand our international markets and collaborate with local partners in each major market.
Yucheng Hu, CEO of Mega Matrix Corp, said, "I'm proud to highlight the incredible progress and achievements of FlexTV since its integration into MPU. The start of 2024 has been phenomenal and our optimism for MPU's Q1 outlook in fiscal 2024 is high. The unique format and narrative efficiency of short dramas continue to engage global audiences, providing immersive experiences and emotional connections. The journey of FlexTV under MPU's guidance has been extraordinary. With a dedicated team, innovative strategies, and the support of our viewers and partners, we're not just reaching but setting new industry benchmarks.
