Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

26Q1 | “Your Body Is Your Instrument” — Why Female Actors in Vertical Dramas Deserve Higher Pay
Q: Say if someone who has some experience in acting and wants to tap into micro drama industry, what's your suggestion?
Start with self-submission and outreach: identify production companies making vertical micro dramas in your area, submit your materials, build a stylized reel and headshots tailored for micro drama, and use social platforms to build visibility. Work with an agent when possible to expand auditions, and educate your representatives about the material by sharing examples and breakdowns so they take micro dramas seriously.
26Q1 | Inside COL Group & FlareFlow: The Future of Global Short Drama
Q: How do you tailor content for different markets and what role does local collaboration play?
Local producers and writers drive content planning, and collaboration with international partners is key to evolving shows to fit diverse markets while understanding local audience needs.
26Q1 | Inside COL Group & FlareFlow: The Future of Global Short Drama
Q: How do paid traffic and organic social growth balance in overseas markets?
Brands must earn respect and love for micro dramas in overseas markets, balancing paid traffic with organic growth to build a sustainable brand rather than chasing quick fads.
26Q1 | Inside COL Group & FlareFlow: The Future of Global Short Drama
Q: How do you measure success and how do these metrics inform content decisions?
Average revenue per daily active user is the most critical metric, though views and completion rates are also important; ultimately profitability and reinvestment potential drive content direction.
26Q1 | Inside COL Group & FlareFlow: The Future of Global Short Drama
Q: What type of genres currently perform best on FlareFlow and how is this expected to evolve?
Romance and CEO/industry-driven stories perform well, but there is a push to broaden genres and explore new categories to attract a broader audience, including younger viewers.
