授权概览中国 孩子的钱最好赚 — 这 是中国消费市场上的一 种说法。 根据国家媒体《经济日 报》的最新报道，中国 的儿童商品和服务市场 规模已扩大到 4.5 万 亿元人民币（6950 亿美元），涵盖了童 装、食品饮料、体育器 材和各类课外活动。

儿童经济蓬勃发展 随着家庭收入的增长，中国的儿童 商品和服务市场持续增长。 中国的儿童商品和服务市场价值近 7,000 亿美元，而一项调查显示， 中国家长花在孩子身上的钱通常都 占到家庭开支的 30% 至 50% 推动儿童市场发展的是中国城市里 富裕的家长越来越重视孩子的健康 和全面成长。 根据国家统计局的数据，北京居民 去年的年均可支配收入约为 6.9 万 元，而全国城镇居民的这一数字为 4.4 万元，农村居民为 1.7 万元。 而根据分析公司 QuestMobile 发 布的《2020 年儿童经济洞察报 告》，近半数的受访家庭表示自己 的总体支出中有 30% 至 50% 被用 在了孩子身上。除了日常用品外， 他们还主要把钱花在了教育、娱乐 以及音乐等培训课程上。 报告称，年龄在 25-40 岁之间并且 家里有 12 岁以下孩子的父母中， 有近 90% 的人每月会在孩子身上 花 1000-5,000 元人民币。 这样的消费自然就让全国各地的购 物中心赚到盆满钵满，特别是是那 些既能满足父母又迎合孩子需求的 综合商场。 在北京丰台区的银泰购物中心，管 理层正在考虑增加专门针对家庭娱 乐和儿童教育的门店数量。“我们 的大多数消费者年龄都在 35 至 45 岁之间，其中大多数都是孩子家

长，”一位发言人透露说。 报告显示，滑雪、骑马、游泳、烘 焙和乐高成为了中国家长与孩子最 喜欢的活动。 根据中国线上旅游公司 — 携程旅 行网 (Trip.com) 一月份公布的一 份报告，中国的富裕家庭在旅行时 也更喜欢选择入住高质量的酒店。 报告还显示，大多数带孩子出行的 家长年龄都在 40 岁以下，而其中 一半喜欢选择四星及五星级酒店。 然而，由于数十年来推行的独生子 女政策，以及社会对家庭和婚姻的 态度转变，导致了中国的人口出生 率直线下降，从而导致了孩子的人 均支出增加。最近公布的初步数据 显示，2020 年的人口出生率下降

授权概览中国采访了 IMG 品 牌授权部亚洲高级副总裁 Miki Ya ma moto ，了解更多关于 IMG 在中国的各种授权项目。 Miki 在日本与她的中国团队紧密合 作，虽然她经常都会到访中国，但 中国政府的旅行限制使得她近期无 法前往中国。 我们请 Miki 介绍一下 IMG 在授权 方面的主要发展现状。 她从芝麻街开始讲起，谈到了芝麻

了约 15%。 报道称，出生率下降的原因包括住 房和教育成本攀升，以及年轻女性 越来越排斥婚姻。2019 年，结婚 率创下了十四年来的新低。

中国公安部发布的数据显示，2020 年的新生儿登记人数为 1003.5 万， 2019 年为 1180 万。而 2019 年 的数字原本就已是自中华人民共和 国于 1949 年成立以来的最低点。 登记数据还突显了持续的性别失衡 问题。近 53% 的新生儿是男孩， 比女孩人数约多出 54.5 万。 人口迅速老龄化，但却没有足够的 能力赡养所有的老人，因此下降的 人口出生率给中国经济敲响了警 钟。到 2050 年，预计将有约三分 之一的人口年龄将超过 60 岁；而 中国社会科学院 2019 年的一份报 告称，国家养老基金可能到 2035 年就会耗尽。

街、优衣库和艺术家 KAWS 的合 作在中国所取得的巨大成功。 “第一阶段的时装产品已于 2018 年夏季面向全球推出，而中国录 得了所有国家和地区中最高的销售 额。”Miki 解释道： “周杰伦、 藤井夏恋、罗杰·费德勒和上西怜 等名人都穿过这个系列的时装。在 2018 年冬季至 2019 年春季的第 二阶段产品上市之际，吸引了很多 中国消费者在优衣库门店前排队， 而由 KAWS 设计的芝麻街毛绒玩 偶很快就被抢购一空。” “芝麻街还尝试通过‘芝麻街英 语学校’将自己的教育业务拓展到 中国。截至 2020 年，它已在中 国开设了约 200 所学校。但请注 意，IMG 的重点是推动时尚合作 及授权产品，帮助芝麻街成为中国 年轻人及更多家庭的生活方式品

牌；我们与‘芝麻街英语学校’并 无任何工作关系。” 在品牌方面，事实证明 Jeep 非常 受欢迎。“我们目前在中国约有 3,000 家 Jeep 服饰店，此外还有 眼镜、箱包等产品在其他配件专柜 销售。受疫情影响，如今越来越多 的人们热衷于户外运动，而 Jeep 的户外用品成为了他们的热门之 选。” 在体育方面，中国消费者对欧洲 足球俱乐部的商品有着很大的需 求。“我们是尤文图斯和曼城在 中国的授权代表。去年，我们帮 尤文图斯促成了一笔重要的服装交 易，而他们的时装旗舰店将在今 年春天登陆天猫。”曼城在天猫 国际已经开设了一家中国旗舰店 （由 Fanatics 管理而不是 IMG）。 IMG 正在帮助曼城携手当地企 业，继续开拓中国各地的休闲时尚 商品市场。 “在中国足球方面，中超联赛 (CSL) 很受欢迎，而政府也一直 在扶持中超联赛的发展，并鼓励 向欧洲联赛学习。中超联赛目前的 运作方式更像是美国足球职业联 赛 — 包括商品在内的一切事务都 集中管理，各家俱乐部并无独立自 主的管理权。在赞助和媒体版权方 面，IMG 目前正与中超联赛展开 合作。”

中国的网上零售额已超过零售总 额的 50%

IMG 发展在中国的授权业务

截至 2021 年，中国的零售总额 中有 52% 源自电子商务，而整 个国家/地区的大部分零售都发 生在线上尚属全球首例。 这比 eMarketer 去年得出的 44.8% 的研究结果有所提高。世界上没有 任何其他国家或地区能与之相提并 论。 继中国之后，电子商务占零售总 额比例第二高的国家是韩国，今 年的网络零售额占到了零售总额 的 28.9%。英国以 28.3% 紧随其 后，位居第三。有趣的是，美国远 远落在了后面，只有 15% 的零售 源自网络，预计到 2022 年这一数 字将上升到 16.2%。 尽管美国在整体零售额上仍领先 于中国（2020 年美国的零售额为 5.506 万亿美元，而中国为 5.13

那么，Miki 及其中国团队未来 将如何发展。“IMG 是《堡垒之 夜》和《彩虹六号》的中国授权代 理商，随着这些电子游戏和电竞项 目在中国的受欢迎程度持续上升， 我们渴望扩大这些电子游戏和电竞 项目的规模与品牌。”

万亿美元），但在 2021 年，中 国的电子商务金额将领先美国近 2 万亿美元。 根据 eMarketer 的调查，多重 因素推动了中国的电子商务突破 50% 这一门槛。其中也包括社交 电子商务 — 去年在中国的增长达 到了惊人的 44.1%，而今年将继 续增长 35.5%，金额达 3632.6 亿美元。相比之下，美国今年的社 交电子商务总额才约为 360.9 亿 美元。 据 eMarketer 预测，中国明年的 电子商务占比将上升到零售总额的 55.6%。只有两件事能阻止这种强 劲的增长。首先，由于中国的经济 引擎早已今非昔比，因此预计未来 几年里，中国的整体零售销售增长 将比过去十年受到更大的限制。其

次，中国还有几亿人根本没有上 网，因此这些消费者带来的增长仍 尚需时日。 那么，是什么推动了这种非凡的增 长模式呢？事实上这源自于多种因 素。 第一，社交电子商务。 据估计，中 国的社交电子商务去年增长达到了 惊人的 44.1%，而今年将继续增长 35.5%，金额达 3632.6 亿美元。 此外，微信小程序也起到了推波助 澜的作用。尽管腾讯的超级应用在 中国已经存在了近十年，然而直到 最近，它的界面才开始巧妙地推动 第三方电子商务的发展。微信小程 序让企业能够更好地利用微信用户 群，事实证明，它们无论是在商家 还是消费者中都广受欢迎。 另一个因素是拼多多 (PDD)。这

为了庆祝农历新年牛年，Millimages 在亚洲各地庆祝一系列即将到来 的授权协议和令人兴奋的新广播 节目。 Molang 继续其在亚洲的全球推广 步伐 — 从新加坡最卡哇伊餐厅的 时尚 Pop-up Café 到最新玩具与 家居用品系列。 其中包括 2 月在新加坡播出的 Molang Pop Up x Kumoya

消费类电子品牌被授权商在中国打开成功之门的两把钥匙 LMCA Asia 在中国上海的办事处 代理了中国和东南亚地区最具标志 性的全球消费电子品牌。 随着中国政府持续专注于本国消费 市场的发展，消费类电子授权行业 的发展机会比比皆是，但未来数年 的市场竞争势必不断加剧，这就要 求各家公司寻找新的方法来实现产 品差异化，同时还要开拓新的消费 群体，以便保持业务增长。 如今，即使是在消费电子领域中一 些中国最大的本土品牌，也正在与 国际品牌建立授权合作伙伴关系， 以服务于更多的富裕消费者并创造 更高的利润。但在消费电子领域， 成功管理一个授权企业品牌离不开 大量的投资，而且还要与授权商携 手合作。 专职团队 — 首先，被授权商必须 准备投资组建一个专职团队，由各 主要学科的专业人员来为授权计划

房胜负已分。 中国将是其在全球范围内最大规模 的院线上映计划，但万达集团旗下 的传奇影业却与美国发行商华纳兄 弟公开撕破了脸皮。传奇影业扬言 要对华纳兄弟采取法律行动，因 为后者决定在首映日当天将 2021 年的全部影片交由 HBO Max 发 行。Netflix 曾经出价 2.5 亿美元

提供支持。被授权商至少要有专门 的人员，涵盖一般管理、产品设 计/开发、产品管理、销售、市场 营销和客户服务等方面。直接从现 有品牌或企业借用资源似乎看起来 很划算，特别是在计划开发的早期 阶段，但计划的长期成功还是要取 决于每天都有哪些资源可以让品牌 得以生存和发展。 与授权商的沟通与合作 — 有效的 授权合作关系就是伙伴关系！作为 品牌所有者，在允许被授权商使用 自己的品牌时，有时这些被授权商 远在半个地球之外，授权商最担 心的问题之一就是，如果被授权商 将品牌用在开发不足或次品上， 那么品牌在消费者的眼中可能就 会“受损”。同样，如果品牌的营 销材料和信息与全球其他市场的信 息和定位不一致，就会造成与消费 者脱节，好比被授权商无法提供强

有力的客户服务，让消费者对品牌 大失所望一样。每份商标特性协议 (TMLA) 都包含了授权商的审批 权，这样他们就能与被授权商携手 开发产品、市场推广材料以及操作 流程，从而支持品牌的长期价值并 建立互惠互利的合作伙伴关系。 为了减轻授权商的担忧，合作伙 伴需要实施强有力的流程来相互沟 通，一旦制定这些流程并达成了 一致意见，就必须由被授权商来推 动。例如，在大多数情况下，授权 商与本地市场的联系不够紧密，因 此无法了解授权产品的竞争环境。 被授权商需要明确每款产品为当地 消费者带来的价值主张，而且被授 权商还需要推动产品的开发来满足 消费者的需求，同时与市场上的其 他品牌/产品展开有效竞争。 然后，授权商将评估产品的设计 和计划的功能，以及产品本身的生 产前样品，以确保这些产品与品 牌在全球其他市场中的定位和整体 DNA 均保持一致。 为了让产品开发和生产日历按计划 进行，被授权商需要主动代表合作 伙伴来管理这些日历。因此，尽早 发现可能导致不必要延迟的潜在问 题，从而使业务能够尽可能平稳地 运行。 授权合作并不总是那么轻松，但是 通过投资一支高素质的专门团队来 管理该计划，同时专注于与品牌合 作伙伴的有效合作与沟通，被授权 商就能为成功做好准备。 46

原创节目。 第一个引人注目的系列将是《在 碗深处》（共 52 集，每集 5 分 钟），这是一部针对 8 至 12 岁 儿童的搞笑系列，灵感来自著名的 法国漫画 Le Fond du Bocal（作 者：Nicolas Poupon）。 该节目将 3D 动画与真人实景结 合在一起，描绘出了奇妙的水族馆 和美丽的鱼群，它们的经历反映 了儿童的日常生活。腾讯视频将与 荣获奥斯卡奖的卢森堡动画工作室 Zeilt Productions 共同制作该 剧，并已获得全部资金（包括卢森 堡电影基金会的资金），目前已在 制作中。 节目预计将于 2022 年播出，目前 Zeilt 和腾讯视频正在为该剧寻找 发行合作伙伴。 曾荣获英国电影和电视艺术学院奖 (BAFTA) 的 Sixteen South 是 英国和爱尔兰领先的原创动画公司 之一，专注于为全球儿童创作优 质电视节目。其成功作品包括： 澳大利亚收视率第一的儿童节目 《Wildwoods》，在中国的数字

IPTV、内蒙古有线、广西有线、 河北移动、江西移动播出。 除了在电视上大获成功外，Molang 还凭借新的贴纸包和一款只在韩国 发行的新手机游戏，以及在中国推 出的一系列 Molang 微信贴纸包在 数字领域继续大放异彩。

随着大力水手 (Popeye) 在中国市场的影响 力不断提高，King Features 着眼于 Olive Oyl 和热门游戏产业 Cuphead 的扩张。

要买下这部预算为 2 亿美元的大 片，但华纳兄弟对此却秘而不宣。 《哥斯拉大战金刚》是 Michael Dougherty 此前执导的《哥斯 拉 2：怪兽之王》的续集，该片 2019 年在中国取得了 1.35 亿美 元票房，比北美票房高出 2500 万 美元。2014 年，《哥斯拉》系列 的首部影片在中国取得了 7760 万 美元票房，但中国当年的银幕数量 远不及目前。 2006 年，Peter Jackson 执导的 《金刚》在中国取得了 1270 万美 元票房。十年之后的 2017 年， 《金刚：骷髅岛》的中国票房比美 国总票房略胜一筹。中国内地的票 房为 1.68 亿美元，仅比北美高出 20 万美元。 由于受新冠肺炎疫情的影响，《哥 斯拉与金刚》曾多次跳票，华纳兄 弟最终敲定影片将于 3 月 31 日登 陆北美院线及 HBO Max。HBO Max 流媒体平台目前尚无在中国 市场运营的计划。

Popeye 继续成为中国各地流行文 化的宠儿。2020 年 6 月，Hearst 旗下的 King Features 和中国香 港的本地代理商 Medialink 与香 港的玩偶制造商 A hidden Lab 合作，推出了限量版“Creepy Popeye”艺术玩偶。由西班牙艺 术家 Cote Escriva 设计，限量 300 个精心制作的黑胶人偶通过在 线零售商 Thundermates 独家发 售，并迅速售罄。Escriva 是一位 来自巴伦西亚的插画师，他将街头 艺术、经典卡通和纹身艺术融合在 一起，形成诡异而又迷人的设计风 格。他的作品曾在各种设计杂志上 发表，并在洛杉矶、新加坡、巴塞 罗那和瓦伦西亚等城市举办过许多 集体和个人展览。 在首次合作取得巨大成功之后，A hidden Lab 继 Popeye 发布之 后，又在 2020 年 12 月推出了 限量 300 个“Creepy Brutus” 艺术玩偶。Brutus 身高约 28 厘

Life has changed for many people over the last eighteen months and we are only now, really, beginning to emerge from the global pandemic.

China was the first territory to suffer from Covid-19 and, as such, has been the first territory to emerge from its grip, albeit with various localised lockdowns when new cases appeared.

Industrial production in the world’s second largest economy increased 6.4% year-on-year in July according to the National Bureau of Statistics, although this showed less growth than June when 8.3% was reported. Retail sales increased 8.5% in July from a year ago – an impressive figure but lower than the forecast 11.5% rise and June’s 12.1% uptick.

China’s economy has rebounded to its pre-pandemic growth levels, but the expansion is losing steam as businesses grapple with higher costs and supply bottlenecks.

New COVID-19 infections in July also led to fresh restrictions,

disrupting the country’s factory output already hit by severe weather this summer.

From a licensing perspective, as the first territory to come out of lockdown, China is well placed to continue to grow its licensing activity. And this is an opportunity that Chinese companies are now taking advantage of. Consumers still want products, regardless of whether they purchase instore or online and the market for luxury goods is buoyant.

Of course, a current impact of the pandemic is the postponement of China Licensing Expo. Pockets of new COVID cases have meant that the show will now take place in February (23 – 25). Hopefully, by that time, now only will China be in a better position but it will allow the opportunity for others around the world to visit.

DIGITAL TELEVISION RUSSIA AND BEIJING JOY CULTURE ANNOUNCE A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP

CELEBRATING LITTLE PRINCE DAY

Chinese company Beijing Joy Culture Media Co., Ltd. have signed distribution rights for two Russian animated series produced by Parovoz Studio, commissioned by Digital Television Russia Media Holding and The All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (VGTRK).

Digital Television Russia and Beijing Joy Culture Media Co., Ltd. have entered into a distribution agreement on four seasons of Be-Be-Bears and two seasons of Leo and Tig to be broadcast on local television networks. Beijing Joy Culture Media will also be involved in the distribution of Russian animated projects on digital platforms and in marketing activities with a view to promoting and increasing awareness of the brands.

The popular animated projects Be-Be-Bears and Leo and Tig have already been partially adapted and dubbed into Chinese, and a strategic partnership between the two major media companies will contribute to the completion of this work.

Beijing Joy Culture Media Co., Ltd., an international company based in Beijing, is one of the leaders in the production, distribution and marketing of children’s animation and home entertainment. The company is engaged in adapting animation to the conditions of the Asian market, registering copyright and trademarks, distributing content, licensing and selling of goods, designing of books, production of original animation, co-production, and also acquisition and distribution of rights for various programs.

Be-Be-Bears is a story of two bears: Bucky and Bjorn. Together with other characters in the series, young viewers will be able to learn about the world around them, get acquainted with various objects, find out what they are made of, go fishing, conduct their own mini-investigations, learn how to get honey, read books and even fly to the moon!

UYOUNG SIGN DEAL WITH PLATOSHKA Russian animation studio Platoshka has announced a deal with UYoung, a Chinese children’s media group. The companies have agreed on the launch of Beadies animation series, Platoshka’s flagship project, in China.

UYoung has undertaken to localize Beadies into Mandarin and will be repping the brand exclusively in China. The Russian studio’s project will be a good complement to UYoung’s portfolio of international titles already containing such runaway hits as Pokemon, Shaun The Sheep and Super Simple Songs.

UYoung will enjoy exclusive rights to the first season of Beadies (55 x 5 minutes) and thematic episode combos. The firm will oversee all aspects of Beadies exploitation and promotion in China – from media distribution to merchandising and licensing.

“We are thrilled to bring our first show from Russia into China with Beadies.

Although there are lots of children’s song brands in the market, Beadies is special and unlike any other shows out there. It’s like a children’s animated musical. Not only does it feature original music and lyrics, but it delivers educational and social emotional values. This vibrant show is sure to bring much joy to children,” says Clara Yang, Vice President of Content Investment and Business Development from UYoung.

“We are delighted to have UYoung as our partner in China. I am certain that the Beadies brand is in good hands.

This overseas deal is a telltale sign of international demand for Beadies. Chinese firms serving multi-million audiences prefer tested and proven content, so it speaks volumes when they put their trust in a young Russian project,” says Anna Shelegina, CEO and General Producer at Platoshka.

Beadies is a new learning animation series for children aged 0 to 4 years. The plotline of this musical-styled project rests on a robust pedagogical program targeting interactive all-round development. The project’s global mission is to become parents’ chief source of inspiration, helper and advisor in matters of organizing leisure and learning activities for their tots.

Beadies premiered in Russian on YouTube in June 2021, and amassed over 10 million views in two months. Besides YouTube, Beadies made it into the catalogs of Russia’s leading VOD services and debuted on TV. Having prepared the release of the first season of Beadies, Platoshka started work on the second one slated to hit the screens in summer 2022. The studio is also producing a live-action Beadies Show where hosts help toddlers better master the content of series and suggest ideas for activities, games, crafts and dance.

Platoshka is a young Russian animation studio, founded in 2019 that develops and produces cartoons from square one for children of all ages.

The founders of Platoshka have been able to recruit some of the best experts in the industry and the studio’s first project made a big splash in the animation market.

Besides Ukids, an learning preschool SVOD app with curated content that instills good values for social emotional development, UYoung’s businesses include ani-

CHINA LICENSING EXPO POSTPONED China Toy Expo (CTE), China Kids Fair (CKE) and China Licensing Expo (CLE) organized by China Toy & Juvenile Products Association, originally scheduled for October 19-21, 2021 at Shanghai New International Expo Center has been postponed to February 23-25, 2022 at the same venue.

Though the COVID-19 situation has largely been controlled within China, the recent scattered new cases still pose challenges to large-scale tradeshows. The organisers concluded that holding CTE & CKE on a later date will provide better conditions and opportunities for all industry professionals. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused but the postponement is an inevitable solution under the current circumstances.

In the meanwhile, the organisers are adapting to the new normal by providing more efficient services from offline to online for their exhibitors and buyers to connect now and throughout the year. As the only nationwide toy & juvenile products industry association, CTJPA has launched the Certified Supplier Online Platform bringing together quality and reliable manufacturers of toys & baby products from main production hubs across China to make sourcing easier and more efficient for international buyers. Moreover, they are also providing customized business matching service upon request.

The ViacomCBS portfolio is home to some of the biggest brands in pop culture and entertainment: Nickelodeon, Nick Jr., Comedy Central, CBS, Showtime, MTV, and Paramount, to name a few. We cater to every generation and demographic with our extensive library of content, which we activate and amplify across our whole ecosystem as well as through our partners. In China, we enjoy good long-term and strong partnerships with iQiyi, MangoTV, Youku, Tencent and CCTV, Toutiao, XiGua and these partnerships see our content reaching our targeted consumers on multiple platforms, be they traditional or emerging.

ViacomCBS’s portfolio ranks #1 in terms of total share of TV viewing globally, and is the top media and entertainment company on social.

From books and movies, to television series, video games, and podcasts, our content has kept viewers continually engaged, informed and entertained during these unprecedented years.

Some of our most recognised properties include SpongeBob SquarePants, PAW Patrol, Garfield, Dora the Explorer, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Star Trek.

Besides existing hero properties, we produce new content that is engaging and relevant to our audiences. We welcome ideas and collaborations to co-create global brands for China, not just for our own networks but

for third parties as well. With our wide global footprint and extensive platforms, we are proud to provide local content creators and filmmaking talent with the opportunity to showcase their work to the rest of the world.

On the retail front, our Consumer Products division is focused on putting the full power of our ecosystem behind our most valuable IP, across a huge, global footprint that spans feature films, broadcast, cable, free-to-air partners, streaming and premium TV, experiences, and gaming.

We have been focused on keeping our business ahead of the changes at retail and shifting consumer behavior, all while staying mindful of what’s happening in the world, and keeping ourselves relevant across every age, every aisle, everywhere. We continue to drive growth and deliver opportunities for all tiers including mass, ecommerce and new channels.

Here in China the world’s number one preschool property PAW Patrol has been our major tour de force. We have stayed incredibly close to our fans and consumers through trend and insight analysis, and work hand-inhand with our best-in-class partners Master agent Guangzhou Art-land Holding Company Limited, Spin Master Ltd. and Medialink Animation International to deliver high quality innovative products. Apart from retail, we extend the brand through onground experiences in malls all over China as well as live shows in major Chinese cities.

Meet-and-greets in partnership with major retailers like Toys”R”Us are key pulses that we include as part of our efforts to remain connected with our consumers while providing them with that additional touchpoint.

This eagerness to connect with fans will see us expand our efforts

exponentially in the coming years with more on-ground and ticketed events, guaranteed to bring that extra engagement.

We continue to adjust, pivot and recalibrate for new norms in the wake of the pandemic, keeping in mind that it is our belief that we have the best IP to drive your business.

SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS

SpongeBob SquarePants is a multigenerational icon with a fan base that can’t get enough. Fueled by the franchise’s 20th Anniversary in 2019 and slate of new content, the SpongeBob business has more than doubled since 2018. To date, SpongeBob has over 700 partners worldwide with 500-plus distinct products in over 20 different categories.

In China, SpongeBob continues to be one of our star properties. Just this year alone, we’ve launched new fashion and Softline collaborations with Eptison, HLA, Bananain, N-max, Spao, Chocoolate and Belle. Global fashion partnerships such as with Tommy Hilfiger saw them land here in China too. Two hugely successful toy

TOTAL LICENSING CHINA collectible launches with POP MART took place – The Monsters and the Space Molly campaign that caused such an amazing online frenzy among fans. But it’s not just buzz-worthy collabs – SpongeBob is soaking up cross-category wins with his multigenerational, dual-gender appeal. 2020 saw significant growth across multiple key categories including Food & Beverage and Home as well.

We will build on the massive success of SpongeBob SquarePants by diving deeper into the larger universe where there are more stories to explore - ripe for consumer products.

In 2022, our beloved SpongeBob SquarePants series continues with Season 13 alongside new premieres of our two spin-off series. First, we will open the cabin doors to Kamp Koral and take fans back to when SpongeBob and his friends first met at summer camp in Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years. Since its March debut, the series has risen to the top as one of Paramount+’s most popular original titles for kids.

In the second spin-off, we’re painting the town pink in honor of Patrick Star. In The Patrick Star Show, fans get to meet the whole Star family. If you love Patrick, just wait until you meet Grand-Pat. This wealth of content presents new opportunities for both SpongeBob as well as Patrick! Our Creative teams have been busy creating tools to support development: from new series style guides to exploratory look books, trend capsules, and more, you’re sure to feel inspired to take a trip down to Bikini Bottom.

PAW PATROL There’s no question that PAW Patrol, created by Spin Master Entertainment, is a preschool powerhouse franchise reaching all corners of the world – 170 territories to be exact! These highlyrecognized and beloved pups from Adventure Bay have become a rite of passage for preschoolers and we are continuing to deliver more of what kids love about PAW Patrol – right here in China. Last November, box office receipts for the Mighty Pups

2021” in July 2021 for this product!

Last June, when the pups appeared on CCTV’s digital Children’s Day celebration on Yang Shi Pin, they received an overwhelming reception from their fans in China! To further reach and deepen our engagement with kids, we are starting up PAW Patrol Live! tours as well as our everpopular mall events held in key cities across the country – these typically have monthly visits of more than 2 million visitors each time!

special episode movie took it to the #1 spot in the Kids Animation movie category for 2020!

The theatrical release of PAW Patrol: The Movie is the biggest news this year. The combined marketing strength of Paramount,ViacomCBS and Spin Master took the franchise to new heights with top-tier retail promotional programs and A-level activations at both online and offline accounts across the world.

Following the success of the movie, we’re laser-focused on maintaining momentum. With a steady pipeline of content, we’re set to continue fueling the business and remain one of the top preschool series, new themes super-serve our biggest fans.

Content is the inspiration for the development of toys, anchored by Spin Master’s toy line. Consumer products and PAW Patrol continues to deliver. The property is a top performer across multiple CP categories including apparel and Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), which is a growing business year over year. In our last Double Eleven online promotion with Tmall in collaboration with KOLs, we saw sales of more than 1.5 million PAW Patrol cheesesticks in less than 5 minutes! It was no surprise then that our partner Shanghai Milkground Food Tech Co., Ltd won the “Best Licensee in Asia Award 2020” in January this year as well as “Licensee of the Year - Food/ Beverage in China Licensing Awards

GARFIELD Garfield, the world’s most syndicated comic strip, is alive and well in China!

Already charting 95% awareness and likeability in our most recent Brand and Fans Insight Studies and having enjoyed a strong footing here for many years, we have plans to fuel this multi-generational consumer products juggernaut even further.

Our collaborations with partners like Fun and BABiBOO apparel stores place Garfield in as many as a thousand retail points across China. We had several successful

19

TOTAL LICENSING CHINA partnerships last year with fashion houses like Cabbeen, Gofu Jewellery and a fantasy interpretive toy collection by POP MART, which helped fuel the appetite for more consumer products in the market.

For those who ‘hate Mondays’ like our lasagna-loving friend, there was a leisurely Garfield river cruise in Guangzhou to beat the proverbial Monday Blues, while a Miniso presence endeared His Feline-ness even more to the nation.

Regular mall events further boosted Garfield’s profile in the world’s most populous country. In 2022, with Medialink, we are planning to eventize Garfield in key cities with a huge celebration to solidify his place in pop culture and drive further CP sales. With local fans loving Garfield because he is funny, lovable and a classic, we see a lot more room to grow (sideways?) for this already cool cat.

STAR TREK Star Trek is a worldwide phenomenon with a global fan base in over 188 countries and is considered to be one of the most iconic brands of all time. It is set in a utopian future where humanity has united and taken to the stars to explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations, and boldly going where no one has gone before. Star Trek is more than just a story; it embodies the dream of a future where optimism, equality, and heroism are the cornerstones and key values. It has become an inspiration and helped advanced science as we know it; it influenced the creation of modern day communication devices, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and many more.

This year, Star Trek celebrates its

20

55th anniversary, a testament to its enduring appeal across generations and cultures. Even though Star Trek already has six classic series, three ongoing series, and 13 movies, there is no slowing down of creative output. With a growing fan base and new upcoming content, the resistance to consumer products is futile! Look out for new seasons and episodes for the three highly reviewed and muchloved ongoing series – Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Discovery, and Star Trek: Lower Decks – that continue to reach record-setting viewership on our various platforms.

Many Star Trek collaboration projects in China have been a success. In 2019, the Star Trek: Discovery collaboration with VIVO saw the iQOO Smart Phone Gift Box flying off the shelves and selling out immediately after the first release. Its futuristic theme appeals especially to tech companies such as Alienware and sport companies like Hongxing Erke, which the property has engaged and collaborated with.

The Star Trek Universe continues to expand in 2022 with Star Trek: Prodigy, the first entry into animated kids content. It tells the story of a group of lawless teens who discover a derelict Starfleet ship and use it to search for adventure, meaning and salvation. Prodigy is perfect for the whole family and for the next generation to enter the Star Trek Universe; it also will be the gateway to developing Star Trek consumer products just for kids.

AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER Since 2005, the world of Avatar and its engaging characters has transported fans to a rich, immersive and diverse world. Avatar: The Last Airbender quickly made a name for itself with its compelling story of a young hero destined to become the Avatar, the only one who can master bending all four elements of air, water, earth and fire and thereby save the world. The sequel, called The Legend of Korra, continues the story into a modernized world featuring Avatar Korra, a seventeen-year-old girl and

successor of Avatar Aang from The Last Airbender.

Avatar: The Last Airbender emerged from its three seasons (61 episodes) as one of the most beloved animated properties in history. It won the

Peabody Award, a Primetime Emmy, Annie Awards and Genesis Awards.

When in premiered in the US on Netflix last May 2020, it set a record for 61 consecutive days in the Top 10 and was named the #1 US Animated Kids Show for 2020 by NPD. In addition to the series’ success, the property also has been translated into a successful comic book and graphic novel series, which continue to roll out new original stories.

Also currently on Netflix and ranked #8 US Animated Kids Show for 2020 by NPD, The Legend of Korra launched in April 2012 on Nickelodeon and ran for four seasons (52 episodes). Its first season premiered as basic cable’s #1 kids show and drew 3.8 million viewers per episode, the highest for an animated series that year. Created and executive produced by Mike DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, the series is translated in more than 25 languages. The property has translated successfully into an ongoing graphic novel series written by TV series cocreator DiMartino. The first graphic novel storyline, Legend of Korra: Turf Wars, has captured various Top 10 sales spots across children’s fiction, YA science fiction, and graphic novel categories since its debut in 2017.

The Avatar franchise is beloved to this day. The Avatar online fan base has 6.5M+ global followers and is the 2nd most engaged Nickelodeon brand on social, just behind SpongeBob SquarePants. With these

TOTAL LICENSING CHINA encouraging numbers, the Avatar: The Last Airbender YouTube channel was created in May last year; it has since garnered more than 325 million views and is becoming the fastest growing and most engaged channel in the Kids & Family portfolio. Testament to the fact that fans new and old continue to be drawn into the world of Avatar.

Older viewers gravitate to the show’s serious themes of warfare and emotional relationships while younger ones enjoy the action and humor of the twelve-year-old hero.

As nostalgia is invoked amongst older fans and a new generation is discovering this richly immersive world, we are developing a refreshed curation of creative and design assets to capture the dynamism, friendship and beauty of Avatar to help translate into consumer products. Targeting adults aged 18 upwards, fans in China can look forward to exciting merchandise from apparel and collectibles, to toys and games.

A recent global deal with McFarlane Toys will see a new range of Avatar: The Last Airbender action figures released soon. This, along with many other products, is something Avatar fans will not need to wait a hundred years for!

LOCATION-BASED ENTERTAINMENT Connecting with audiences through immersive real world experiences remain an integral part of ViacomCBS’s global business.

Partnering with premier leisure developers across the world, our Location Based Entertainment (LBE) division develops highly engaging experiences focusing on iconic properties from our Paramount, Nickelodeon, MTV and CBS brands.

From theme parks, entertainment centers, live shows, festivals, hotels, and resorts,ViacomCBS continues to create unique, on-ground entertainment for fans and guests of all ages.

In December 2020, we opened the first Nickelodeon PLAYTIME family entertainment center in Asia, which has four themed zones featuring SpongeBob SquarePants, PAW Patrol,

Dora the Explorer, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT), as well as a Nickelodeon branded retail store and play café. The 1500-squaremeter indoor attraction is the anchor entertainment offering at OCT Happy Harbor, one of Shenzhen’s top leisure shopping destinations. Since its opening, Nickelodeon PLAYTIME constantly ranks in the top family entertainment centers in Shenzhen on Dianping, one of China’s biggest attraction review and ticketing platforms.

Nickelodeon PLAYTIME connects families with their favorite characters in a whole new way, meeting the strong demand in China for interactive and cross-generational entertainment. In designing and curating the experiences at Nickelodeon PLAYTIME, we used market data to select IP franchises that are not only popular but also have strong local appeal and cultural relevance, to best cater to a Chinese audience. One of the signature attractions is a story-driven multimedia experience, where guests can go “jellyfishing” at Bikini Bottom with Patrick Star and SpongeBob SquarePants.

Building on the success of the Nickelodeon Universe theme parks in the Mall of America and American Dream malls in the US, the first Nickelodeon Universe in Asia is in development at the Mall of China in Chongqing, scheduled to open in 2022. At 35,000 square meters, the project in Chongqing will be

our largest indoor theme park with 29 themed attractions featuring 14 Nickelodeon properties that are much loved by Chinese families. The TMNT-themed coaster is expected to set four new world records for an indoor roller coaster ride: longest track, highest drop, most inversions, and fastest maximum speed. The park will also feature the first tilting drop tower attraction in Asia.

Currently, Paramount Pictures is developing a theme park in Bali, that will soon give fans a chance to step into some of the iconic Hollywood studio’s classic films and blockbuster franchises such as Roman Holiday, The Godfather, Star Trek, Tomb Raider, and Mission Impossible.

On the other side of the world, we are super excited that the brand-new Nickelodeon Hotels and Resorts Riviera Maya has opened in Mexico.

The beachfront family resort features many firsts, including 280 oceanfront swim-up suites, a rooftop penthousestyle Pineapple Suite, the first-ever Turtle Lair Suite, and a one-of-a-kind Aqua Nick water park – in itself an incredibly fun destination with a lazy river, waterslides, a splash park, and an interactive water playground!

As we expand our LBE business with new developments, we are actively pursuing opportunities for our brands as well as partnerships across multiple platforms.

We will continue to fuel fandom, thrill audiences, and deliver unforgettable real world experiences to families everywhere.

A DIVERSIFYING PORTFOLIO – GTL POWERS UP CROSSFIRE REPRESENTATION Additionally, GTL will be heading to China Licensing Expo with a new addition to its growing and diversifying portfolio, CrossFire – a first-person shooter game that is now one of the world’s most renowned computer gaming titles. CrossFire has become one of the highest grossing online titles in China and currently boasts 670M active users across 80 countries.

On behalf of the game’s developer and

There are currently over 90 CrossFire consumer products sold in China through online channels that will also be available to new licensees, including Tencent QQ Mall and Tmall.

Since launching in 2007 as a PC game, CrossFire has successfully established itself over the past decade and a half as a cross-platform franchise with multiple touchpoints for its growing legion of fans. In the e-Sports space, there continue to be regularly scheduled league events since 2013, and CrossFire is now the second most played eSports game in China. The Crossfire World Championship has broken viewership records worldwide with 37.5 million unique viewers.

Crossfire also extended into a 36-episode web drama, which is jointly produced by Smilegate, Tencent Pictures, Yaoke Media, Spark Media and Lingke Shining. It has generated an estimated cumulative view count of over 2.2 billion since its launching in July 2020.

The series tells a coming-of-age story about two young Crossfire gamers – played by famous Chinese actors

Lu Han and Leo Wu Lei– trying to carve out a career in eSports.

Building on the success of Crossfire content, Sony Columbia is currently developing an original global theatrical film of the hit game. Tencent Pictures will co-finance and participate in the production of the movie, which will be produced through Neal H. Moritz’s Original Film label.

CrossFire has also entered into live events and attractions for fans in China, with Smilegate opening its first branded indoor theme park in 2020 in partnership with location-based entertainment company Grand Laser Strike Association. Located in Suzhou Center, China’s largest shopping mall and landmark, the CrossFire theme park utilises the in-game elements of the game to give Chinese fans a new experience of the game. Smilegate is planning to open five further indoor theme parks in China.

HOW BRANDS ARE EMPOWERED BY LIVING ARTISTS TOGETHER WITH MUSEUMS: ARTiSTORY EMBARKS ON INNOVATIVE LICENSING MODEL

Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, the past few years have witnessed the thriving market of cultural enterprising in China. The share of licensed merchandise related to art and culture soared up to 18.7% in 2020 for the China market alone (data source: Licensing International May 2021), which foresees a huge potential for continuous growth in this sector. An emerging and major spending power behind this market is now believed to be Generation Z, a group which accounts for 30% of the world’s total population. An essential question that is now asked by retailers across industries has become: “What interests this diverse, socially engaging and self-expressive generation of young customers?”

For members of Gen Z (especially in Asia), they seek brands that show their personality and uniqueness, yet meanwhile are well-known enough to be recognized (according to McKinsey’s research published June 2020).

Licensing with art and culture IPs has already been proven successful for brands to attract young consumers, such as THE BEAST (野兽派) X V&A, OffWhite X Louvre, Vans X Van Gogh Museum, to just name a few. ARTiSTORY, a specialist in art and cultural IP licensing, has been working with world’s top museums and galleries and dives deeply into their collections to create original design assets, product development and engaging stories to empower retailers, manufactures, DTC brands and beyond.

Now, the growing demand for diverse products and designs from the market, what would be a good solution be-

The answer can be adding in an additional perspective, from living artists.

Although museums and cultural organizations are not the typical trendsetter, they are a source of inspiration for many contemporary artists, whose

expressive voices have a huge impact on members of Gen Z. Data shows that about 80% of Gen Z is influenced by social media, and artists is a leading group of influencers on social media.

Looking at the global market, top brands have started to work closely with artists. In its 18SS campaign, Gucci hired 27-year-old Spanish artist Ignasi Monreal to create digital paintings inspired by Old Master artworks such as The Arnolfini Marriage by Jan van Eyck (1390-1441) and Ophelia by Sir John Everett Millais (1829-1896). This collaboration sparked new synergy between the “Old and New”, allowing consumers to grasp the core idea of

three-way co-branding, such as, Brand X Artist X Museum? Would this multiply the benefits for all parties? Yes. For artists, they get the opportunity to be associated with the world’s top museums which generate publicity and awareness towards them, especially emerging artists. For brands, they provide consumers with access to their favorite artists via uniquely designed products which also are accredited by museums.This is a muli-lateral winning situation.

ARTiSTORY is launching this innovative licensing mode with various artists (to be announced soon) and AndArt, a New York based agency that brings an exclusive network of creative resources. ARTiSTORY will add in an immeasurable layer of value – IPs from world’s top art and cultural organizations, plus ARTiSTORY’s core capability of transforming “Artefacts to Merchandise” and storytelling.

Recently, ARTiSTORY has announced a new partnership with Dunhuang Inspiration, holding the cultural brand’s exclusive licensing rights for the global market.This historical, multi-year partnership is one of the firsts of its kind for a Chinese cultural IP to be licensed to global retailers and consumer brands outside China.

Dunhuang sits at a unique position along the historical Silk Road, being an essential point for the West to meet the East and for diverse cultures to prosper. It serves as a perfect source of inspiration for artists in terms of the span of artistic media and topics, historic depth, and aesthetic diversity. Artists will join and share ARTiSTORY’s vision to create an exciting market both in China and overseas by reinterpreting Dunhuang’s cultural elements spanning centuries of history.

This effort will not only empower brands domestically in China but also those with an ambition to expand their reach globally.

About ARTiSTORY Launched in Jan 2021 by a team of pioneers in IP licensing, ARTiSTORY is a specialist focusing on art and cultural IP licensing with unique capabilities of transforming “Artefacts to Merchandise” and storytelling via digital content empowered by teams in London, Barcelona, Boston, Shanghai, Beijing and Singapore.

market and the global market.

In addition, ARTiSTORY is partnering with The National Gallery, London, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Taipei’s Palace Museum for global licensing programs outside China.

Generation Z:

Target Consumer for Licensed Products in China

The Universal Beijing Resort finally opened to the public this summer in Tongzhou, after years of preparation, and soon hit the headlines in China.

One of the most popular destinations is The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, which has created a big stir in the young audience. From magical spells to magical creatures, from dark villains to daring heroes, plus, experience pulse-pounding rides and attractions, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter transport visitors into a world of magical thrills and excitement.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at the Universal Beijing Resort

In September 2000, Harry Potter books were published in mainland China. Less than one year later, the

film Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone was also released, setting off an upsurge among the young Chinese generation at that time. Twenty years later, in September 2021, the mobile game Harry Potter: Magic Awakened was launched, licensed by Warner Brothers and produced by NetEase Games, and, once again ignited the magic world for the old and new fans, among which Generation Z (Gen Z) is the main component.

Gen Z is a widely researched group around the world. In China, Gen Z is growing to become a leading force of in terms of consumption, especially for cultural entertainment and licensed

goods.

The Chinese licensing industry is paying more attention to Chinese Gen Z, researching their consumption habits in order to seize the growing market opportunities.

Profile of Chinese Gen Z Consumers A widely accepted definition of Chinese Gen Z refers to people who were born between 1998 and 2014 which now account for a population of nearly 280 million. Up to now, over one third of Chinese Gen Z are adults, who have already started college or are working and, therefore, have strong consumption abilities.

The China Licensing Industry Report 2021 by CTJPA Brand Licensing Council shows that, according to annual expenditure of Chinese Gen Z consumers on licensed products, the consumption sum of RMB 1,001-2,000 a year took up the highest proportion (36.3%), followed by that of RMB 2,001-3,000 (26.6%).

The annual expenditure of Chinese Gen Z consumers on licensed products was mainly less than RMB 3,000, which was also positively correlated with the income of Chinese Gen Z consumers. As the income of Chinese Gen Z consumers increased, its capital investment in licensed products also had great growth potential.

44

TOTAL LICENSING CHINA When asked about their willingness to purchase in the future, 50.7% of Chinese Gen Z consumers expressed they would like to stay in line with their previous budgets, and 34.9% of them stated that their consumption budget would increase their budgets.

On the whole, Chinese Gen Z consumers tended to maintain relatively high expenditures on licensed products.

Chinese Gen Z consumers in terms of licensed products were relatively scattered, and relatively concentrated in the regions with fairly developed economies and high per capita disposable income.

The Top 5 was Jiangsu Province (6.8%), Guangdong Province (6.5%), Shanghai (6.1%), Beijing (6.0%) and Zhejiang Province (5.6%), but the consumers were more evenly distributed overall.

The purchasing power of youth in the markets in lower-tier cities and their enthusiasm and love for IPs should also not be underestimated.

Chinese Gen Z Consumers’ willingness to spend on licensed products/services in 2021

Properties Chinese Gen Z loves Chinese Gen Z was born and grew up with the Internet. Heavy use of social networks has enabled them to develop the habit of content consumption, such as Network literature, animation, computer games. Properties and characters are consumed, discussed and shared by Gen Z, resulting in the formation of subculture circles.

Bilibili, Honor of Kings, Game for Peace produced by Tencent Interactive Entertainment have accumulated hundreds of millions of players.

A remarkable feature of Gen Z’s is they in general have stronger pride and confidence than their elders in Chinese culture. Therefore, they are keen to pursue Chinese culture and Chinese brands, which lead to a trend known as China Fashion (guochao).

One of them is Pop Mart, owner of Molly, Dimoo and dozens of other popular designer toys among Chinese Gen Z, listed in Hong Kong stock market last winter, whose market value reached nearly RMB 100 billion this February.

Compared with older groups, Gen Z consumers paid more attention to additional factors such as product appearance, expression of self-views and attitudes, emotional connection and trends in product consumption.

The top three reasons why licensed products/services attracted Gen Z consumers were character setting or mood (26.6%), consumption atmosphere (23.7%) and good-looking products (15.7%).

Both licensors and licensees are adjusting their business strategies, paying more attention to industry seminars and exhibitions, to better satisfy the preferences of generation Z and to hopefully seek breakthroughs.

From February 23 to 25 next Spring, licensors of animation, films, museums, art and other categories will gather again at the 15th session of China Licensing Expo at Shanghai New International Expo Center to promote the continued development of licensing business.

China’s Theme Park Revolution Beijing Universal Studios, which has been in development for 20 years, recently began trial operations, detonating the entire domestic cultural tourism consumer market. As the first Universal Studios theme park in China, the third in Asia, and the fifth in the world, as early as August 20, when Universal Studios Beijing first opened the closed testing for employees, some of the testing tickets were offered by touts at nearly 8,000 yuan. On September 1st, Beijing Universal Studios officially started its trial operation. The experience videos, play guides and celebrity encounter moments released all over major social platforms, and further ignited consumers’ interest in Beijing Universal. Many domestic consumers still vividly remember the hot scene when Shanghai Disneyland opened.

Prior to this, the official opening of Shanghai Disney in 2016 was also regarded as a watershed in the development of the industry, which also brought the development of domestic theme parks. As a first-tier city, Beijing still lacks a “theme park” despite having Happy Valley and other projects.

Now, it has made up for this. At the same time, following Universal Studios Beijing, plans for international theme parks such as DreamWorks and Legoland to land in the country have

54

also accelerated. The Shenzhen Legoland theme park will open as soon as 2024. In the face of increasingly fierce competition in the industry, how will domestic theme parks break the situation?

Development Path A theme park is a modern tourist destination that integrates many entertainment activities, leisure elements and service and reception facilities according to a specific theme or content. With the rapid development of the country’s economy in recent years, the theme park industry has also ushered in a momentum of vigorous development. From the perspective of regional distribution, the current large-scale theme parks are mainly concentrated in the Pearl River Delta with Guangzhou and Shenzhen as the core, the Yangtze River Delta and the Bohai Rim with Shanghai and Suzhou as the core, as well as the new firsttier cities in the central and western regions such as Changsha, Wuhan, and Chengdu. This distribution is basically consistent with the level of regional economic development in China and the structure of the domestic tourism market.

The development of theme parks in my China has mainly experienced four

stages. The first-generation theme parks are mainly based on amusement parks, gardens, and film and television drama filming bases; the second-generation theme parks are mainly miniature landscapes, and film and television cities are supplemented by performances; the third-generation theme parks nurture modern theme culture; the fourth-generation theme parks build the whole industry chain + new technology + big IP. Development drivers High population density + tourism development High population density and rapid development of the tourism industry constitute the foundation of demand for theme parks in China. The world famous theme parks are mostly concentrated in areas with high population density + high GDP. The world’s TOP25 theme parks are concentrated in Los Angeles, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Beijing, Seoul and other places, all of which have high population density and per capita GDP. Upgrading of consumer demand As the per capita GDP continues to rise, the domestic leisure and vacation tourism market continues to expand, reaching about 600 billion yuan

In 2018, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the “Guiding Opinions on Standardizing the Construction and Development of Theme Parks”, which gave the direction of the transformation and upgrading of theme parks from three aspects: enriching cultural connotation, improving scientific and technological content, and expanding market entities. China’s theme park industry has entered a growth trend Golden age.

In 2018, China’s theme park industry market retail sales exceeded 40 billion yuan.

Different from Disney’s fairy tale world full of dreams and cartoon fantasy, Universal Studios is committed to creating a real scene experience + playground project model. NBC Universal’s business, which Universal Studios belongs to, is divided into four parts, namely cable network, radio and television, movie entertainment and theme parks. The theme park business mainly includes Universal Studios Hollywood, Universal Studios Orlando, Universal Studios Osaka, Japan, Universal Studios Sentosa, Singapore, and the newly opened Universal Resort Beijing.

in 2016, and its proportion in tourism consumption continues to increase.

The consumption level of residents is constantly improving, and the concept of tourism consumption is constantly changing and upgrading. In addition to meeting daily expenses, residents’ demand for culture and entertainment is increasing, and their willingness to consume has increased significantly.

The number of Chinese theme park companies has gradually increased, and internationally renowned theme parks have entered the Chinese market. Local famous theme parks have also cultivated IP culture with Chinese characteristics, awakening the enthusiasm of Chinese theme park experience consumption.

The rapid growth of IP culture IP culture is the core of theme parks, an effective way to expand brand influence, improve brand recognition, and enhance sustainable competitiveness.

In recent years, the rapid development of the IP industry at home and abroad has promoted the rapid development of the theme park industry.The theme park acquires IP by cultivating independent IP, obtaining IP authorization, and cooperating to create IP to deepen public awareness.

Policy assistance In 2012, the government issued the “Several Opinions on Regulating the Development of Theme Parks” to further strengthen supervision, clarify the scope and types of theme parks,

Financial status Revenue: In fiscal year 2019, Universal Studios’theme parks achieved revenues of US $593 million (+4.4%), accounting for 17.25% of NBC Universal’s revenue. Tourist consumption includes ticket sales, food, beverages and other commodity consumption provided by the park. Parks were temporarily closed due to the epidemic in 2020. Universal Studios Osaka was closed from late February. Universal Studios Orlando and Hollywood were closed from mid-March. Orlando and Osaka theme parks allowed a certain number of visitors to enter the park from June. As a result, revenue has declined in 2020.

Profitability: Theme park costs mainly include park operations, including maintenance and related management costs, food, beverage and commodity costs, labor costs, and sales and marketing costs. In 2020, operating

55

costs will fall due to park closures and lower marketing-related costs. The ROE of Universal Studios has basically remained at 15% 6% since 2014, and the highest reached 33% in 2017; ROA has stabilized at 4% -5%, and in 2017 it reached 12.15% due to the increase in net profit. ROE is basically similar to Disney, and ROA lags behind Disney.

Operating model At present, there are 5 theme parks in Universal Studios, all of which are wholly-owned and independently operated, joint ventures with other companies, and authorized to third parties to use IP operations. Among them, NBC Universal is wholly-owned and independently operated by two companies: Orlando, Florida, and Hollywood, California. Joint ventures with other companies and two Universal Holdings: Osaka Universal Studios, Japan, jointly owned by NBC Universal and Japan’s USJ Company, Universal Holdings 51%; the fifth theme park built in Beijing, with NBC Universal holding 30% and more State-owned enterprises affiliated to Beijing Municipality jointly funded the establishment.

The resort World Sentosa, Singapore is wholly-owned by Genting, and Universal Studios is only authorized. The authorized operation of Universal Studios Mediterranean in Spain has not yet been approved and was be included in the scope of the study.

IP mode Disneyland and Universal Studios have different strategies in terms of IP entertainment projects. All the projects in Disneyland are based on their own IP, and the amusement projects, attractions, and products in the Universal Studios theme park are more obtained through third-party IP authorization or joint development and cooperation with third parties.

Universal Beijing Resort Universal Beijing Resort is a theme park tourist destination complex.

After completion, it will be the world’s largest Universal Studios theme park.

The first phase covers an area of 159.57 hectares, including Universal Studios Hollywood theme park, Beijing Universal City Avenue and two resort hotels. The Universal Studios Park includes 7 themed scenic spots, 37 rides and entertainment facilities and landmark attractions, and 24 performances.

The Universal City Boulevard is a comprehensive commercial complex integrating retail, catering and entertainment, including 80 themed catering stores and 30 retail stores selling specialty goods. Two resort hotels are the world’s first Universal Studios hotels named after the Universal brand, and the first resort hotel under the NUO brand of BTG. The hotels provide a total of 1,200

rooms. The annual number of tourists in the first phase is expected to be 12 million to 15 million.The second phase covers an area of 165.83 hectares. It is planned to build a theme park with Chinese elements and introduce IP such as Chinese culture and Monkey King. The third phase plans to build a water park.

Spillover Effect Theme parks can have a large spillover effect. Tourism and vacation complexes with IP such as Beijing Universal Studios can produce effects that are 10-15 times that of ordinary scenic spots.

From the perspective of economic benefits, the completion of Beijing Universal Studios is expected to increase employment and tourism income in Beijing, increase the proportion of tourism in GDP, and have a boosting effect on related industries. From the perspective of social benefits, the completion of Beijing Universal Studios is expected to bring different levels of driving effects to the surrounding areas of the resort, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, and China’s tourism development and urban transformation and upgrading, providing citizens with a new space for tourism, vacation and leisure. The construction of a harmonious society in China will promote government management, service innovation and technological innovation.

Brand Mascot Characters in China Brand mascot characters aren’t just for kids’ brands in China. From Burberry’s cute critter WeChat stickers to the time-honoured KFC Colonel, having a cartoon representative may be more valuable than you realise.

Matt Wills from Floob Creative and Benoit Raoult from Duhno Marketing explain.

M&M’s, Michelin, Monopoly, Nintendo, KFC and Pringles - all household names, all with mascots that are synonymous with their brands. What helps these brands connect with their customers is a relatable, recogniz-

able and memorable character that creates an empathic reaction in a glimpse.

dressed in yellow with kangaroo ears on their helmets, and the video game controller-shaped cat head from T-mall advertisements plastered throughout Chinese subway stations.

Both in the West and in China, companies use mascots to differentiate themselves from their competitors and convey their brand personalities, but the key difference is their ubiquity in China.

Engaging Customers Mascots, traditionally anthropomorphic cartoon characters, help companies build a more powerful brand image and persona, eliciting a direct intuitive response in consumers, and broaden the scope of a company’s customer engagement that takes the relationship beyond the purely transactional nature of purchasing. “The Effect of Brand Mascots on Consumers’ Purchasing Behaviors” (2016) by Proud Arunrangsiwed and Isari Pairoa, found that brand mascots significantly increase a customer’s willingness to purchase products, create a more positive attitude toward the products, and heighten the possibility of purchase. In “The Power of You: Why distinctive brand assets are a driving force of creative effectiveness” (2020) Ipsos found that brand characters are 5 times more effective than logos on customers’ brand linkage and recall.

In China, using ‘ke-ai’ (Mandarin for ‘cute’) characters and cartoons to convey messages is appreciably more common than in the West, and far more acceptable to the adult cultural palette; even the CCP uses cartoons to make public announcements, and recommends television broadcasters give priority to animated series.

Social Media and Marketing Brand mascots are able to function as influencers on social media platforms and build a following around their stories, and mascots notably outperform celebrity endorsers. Most companies in China have official WeChat accounts, and those with mascots periodically create animated stickers for their followers to download, share and pepper into their chats, tapping into the 1.2 billion monthly user rate

of the platform. Similarly, Chinese companies’ marketing departments will release seasonal posters depicting their mascots celebrating major Chinese and Western holidays and downloadable phone wallpapers for followers to decorate their home screens.

Licensing Potential After applying for the appropriate trademarks, A company’s mascot can itself become a licensed intellectual property. Using the image and personality of a popular character can help the sales of consumer product lines such as apparel and toys, video

games and animated media, and generate licensing revenue for the IP owner. One example in China is B.Duck, which began as a company selling waterproof radios, and now has a successful line of products based solely around their character, including their own fashion apparel lines, as well as a long list of licensing awards.

Despite brand mascot usage already having strong roots in the marketing industry in China, an increasing number of companies are beginning to implement mascots in their branding and messaging to capitalize on their competitive advantages.

Floob Creative’s own brand mascot, ‘Floob’ Ultimate Mascot Marketing Guide for China: Creating Habits of Purchase”, designed both for companies that are interested in creating their own mascot or licensing an existing IP to activate marketing.

Matt from Floob Creative explains, “Whereas many design agencies focus broadly on logo and graphic design, we differentiate ourselves by specialising in character and product design.” Wills has a background in IP development and consumer product design, most recently as the creative director for Dark Horse Comics under ex-Disney Chairman Stanley Cheung. “Moving exclusively into designing brand mascot characters was a natural fit for me, so I found the best illustrators, animators and designers in my network, and a partnership with Duhno’s marketing expertise was a no-brainer.”

Benoit from Duhno adds, “After years working with brand owners, P&L owners in China, and marketing managers we noticed that it was important to share some methodology to a larger public and promote the power of mascots. Happy to see this guide alive today!”

On the production side, Toonz is coproducing two shows Kim and Jim’s Wormhole and Wool Wool Town with Chinese production studio Jetavana Entertainment. While the former is a 3D adventure comedy, Wool Wool Town is a fairy themed 2D pre-school series.

Toonz Media Group partnered with GummyBear International Inc to produce an animated series Gummybar and Friends: The Gummy Bear Show.

Our strategy would be to first find platform partners to expand the show presence notably among the preschool and family audience.The Zoonicorn music videos are popular on YouTube in the rest of the world. We will be looking to build Zoonicorn nursery rhymes concepts dedicated to the local market. We will also be looking for the right L&M partner for this IP in China, so that we can replicate the success the brand has enjoyed in the US. PaJaMa is a non-dialogue slapstick comedy that is sure to be a hit with kids from any part of the world. It is an endearing comedy that follows the misadventures of Ja, a naughty kid as he experiences the small wonders of this world and the hilarious consequences Ja’s innocent actions have on his unsuspecting father, Pa. Aliens In My Backpack is an adventure comedy created by award-winning animation creator Rob Lee who is know for titles like Fireman Sam and The Shoe People.

CHINA’S TOP RETAILERS Yonghui Superstores continued its upward trend in 2020, overtaking Sun Art Retail Group and China Resources Vanguard to claim the fourth place.

However, the number of Yonghui’s retail stores decreased by 18.6%, registering the biggest drop among the top 10 companies.The ranking of Walmart China remained unchanged from the previous year, with the company occupying the seventh place among the 100 chains.

Wumart Group, the Beijing-based omnichannel retailer, purchased an 80% stake of the China operations of German wholesaler Metro in April 2020.

This acquisition successfully carried Wumart into the top 10 this year, even though the performance of its own stores was barely satisfactory.

According to the survey, the total sales revenue of the top 100 chain stores in 2020 fell by 7.2% to 2.4 trillion yuan ($372 billion).This figure also accounted for 6.1% of the consumer goods retail sector, corresponding to a slight

drop from the 6.3% reported for 2019.

This marks the first time that the sales revenue of the top 100 companies has seen negative growth since 1997. The survey also revealed that 52 of the top 100 chains witnessed declines in sales in 2020, down by 15.4% as a whole.

Only 15 of the top 100 chains recorded double-digit sales growth, most of which were regional leading companies and community supermarkets, namely,Yonghui, Easy Joy,Wumart, Meiyijia, Xinyulou, Dashenlin, Hongqi Chain, Qiandama, Jiahui Group, Dazhang Group, Xinxing Group,Tianfu Group, Jianzhijia Health Drug Store, BUT Mart and GOME. The most impressive annual growth was achieved by fresh food retailer Qiandama, whose sales increased by a striking 90% to 13.3 billion yuan ($2.06 billion) in 2020. Founded in April 2012, Qiandama now operates approximately 3,000 stores throughout China, with the majority of them in Guangdong province. The company

offers varying degrees of discounts each day after 7 p.m. in an effort to clear stock.This business model has already proven immensely popular with price-conscious consumers, attracting large numbers of people to visit the company’s brick-and-mortar stores as part of their evening routine. To date, Qiandama has completed five rounds of financing and is very likely to become a listed company in 2021.

It is also worth noting that community group-buying companies entered the top 100 league for the first time in 2020. Xingshengyouxuan ranked 97th with a revenue of almost 3 billion yuan ($465 million).

With the increased popularity of online shopping due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many retailers have made substantial investments in home delivery, group buying and livestreaming services.

The China Chain Store & Franchise Association recently announced its annual ranking of China’s top 100 chain stores for 2020 based on combined offline and online sales figures.

At the top of the list was Suning.com, the major electronics retailer and owner of Italian football club Inter Milan. Suning has been the largest retail chain operator in China since 2015, with its annual sales in 2020 reaching 416.32 billion Chinese yuan. GOME Retail Holdings secured the second place as it did in 2019, with a sales revenue in 2020 of 140.75 billion yuan ($21.8 billion).

Consequently, online sales have become a predominant driver of business growth for the top 100 companies, with their total online sales in 2020 reaching 560 billion yuan ($86.7 billion), corresponding to a year-onyear increase of 12% and accounting for 23.3% of total sales.
