(a) Aligning with the team's development philosophy

First and foremost, they prioritize whether a collaborative project aligns with the team's core creative philosophy. The team firmly believes that excellent film and television works are not merely for entertainment, but should also carry the mission of cultural dissemination, emotional resonance, and artistic innovation. Therefore, projects that prioritize commercial interests while neglecting the cultural depth and artistic value of the work, even with enticing offers, are resolutely rejected.

For example, some companies' proposed collaborations may seem promising in terms of market prospects, but they lack depth, simply piling on special effects and star power without a unique story core or cultural foundation. The team understands that while such projects might generate short-term box office revenue, in the long run, they are detrimental to the team's brand building and artistic pursuits, and cannot truly bring a positive impact to the development of the film and television industry.

Conversely, projects that delve into the depths of different cultures, showcase the brilliance of humanity through compelling stories, and dare to innovate in artistic expression are more likely to pique their interest. They hope that every project they participate in will leave a lasting impression on the audience, just like their previous award-winning films, becoming classics that stand the test of time.

(ii) Matching resources and capabilities

Besides shared values, teams also need to assess whether their resources and capabilities can meet the project's requirements. Cross-disciplinary collaborative projects often involve the integration of resources from multiple aspects, including funding, technology, talent, and market channels.

In terms of funding, it's crucial to ensure sufficient budget support for the project to guarantee smooth operation from initial preparation to post-production, preventing project stagnation or quality degradation due to funding shortages. Technically, it's necessary to consider whether the team's existing technical staff can handle potential challenges, such as complex special effects production and the construction of intricate shooting sets. If the project demands advanced technology that the team currently lacks the necessary skills for, it's essential to assess whether there are sufficient time and resources to learn and master the technology or to seek external technical support.

Talent is also a key factor; different types of projects require personnel with different professional backgrounds and experiences. For example, historical and cultural films may need a large number of professional consultants familiar with historical research and archaeology, as well as art designers skilled in recreating ancient scenes and costumes; while science fiction films require a creative team with advanced special effects production technology and rich imagination. The team must ensure that it can recruit suitable talent, or introduce the necessary professional resources through cooperation, to ensure the smooth progress of the project.

Furthermore, expanding market channels is also crucial. A good project needs suitable distribution channels and marketing strategies to reach a wider audience. The team needs to assess the market resources and marketing capabilities of partners in different countries and regions to ensure effective promotion and publicity after the film's completion, maximizing its commercial and artistic value.

(III) Risk Assessment and Response Strategies

In the process of screening cooperation opportunities, the team also conducted a comprehensive risk assessment for each project and formulated corresponding response strategies. The film and television industry is inherently full of uncertainties. From policy risks and market risks to various unforeseen risks during the creative process, all of these can affect the smooth progress of a project and its final outcome.

Regarding policy risks, film and television censorship policies and cultural industry support policies vary across different countries and regions. Teams need to thoroughly understand the relevant policies and regulations of each country involved in the project in advance to avoid project setbacks due to policy changes. For example, certain themes may be restricted in some countries, or there may be special regulations regarding certain aspects of film and television production. If these factors are not fully considered in the early stages of the project, the project may face difficulties such as needing to make modifications or even being unable to be released later.

Market risks should not be ignored. The tastes in the film and television market change rapidly, and audience preferences are difficult to grasp precisely. Although the team has accumulated some market experience in previous projects, each new project faces a new market environment and competitive landscape. They need to analyze the market saturation of similar films, the size and characteristics of the potential audience, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of competitors, and reasonably predict the project's market prospects and box office revenue.

To address these risks, the team developed a series of contingency strategies. Regarding policy, they proactively consulted with local film and television management departments and industry experts to ensure the project complied with policy requirements and to allow for adjustments so they could respond promptly should policies change. For market risks, they strengthened market research and data analysis, fully considering diverse market demands during the project planning stage to create differentiated and competitive works. Simultaneously, they developed flexible marketing strategies, adjusting promotional plans promptly based on market feedback to enhance the project's resilience.

IV. Looking to the Future: Promoting the Development of Cross-Disciplinary Film and Television Creation

After careful consideration and rigorous selection, the team finally identified several highly promising collaborative projects that aligned with their own development. They understood that this was not only for the team's own growth, but also carried the important responsibility of propelling cross-industry collaboration in the film and television industry to new heights.

In the future, they will continue to uphold the principles of innovation and cooperation, deeply integrating outstanding elements from different countries and fields to create more high-quality cross-disciplinary film and television works. Through these works, they will further promote the exchange and integration of global film and television culture, allowing audiences around the world to enjoy a richer, more diverse, and uniquely captivating range of film and television productions.

At the same time, they also hope to use these projects to cultivate and attract more outstanding film and television talents to join the ranks of cross-disciplinary collaboration. By cooperating with film and television schools and professional institutions in various countries, establishing internship bases, and holding training courses, they aim to provide young creators with more opportunities for learning and practice, allowing them to grow and develop in a cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary creative environment, and injecting a continuous stream of fresh blood into the film and television industry.

The team members believe that as long as they persevere in exploring and moving forward on the path of cross-disciplinary film and television creation, they will surely be able to create more brilliance, allowing the film and television industry to shine even more brightly on the stage of global cultural exchange, bringing audiences more wonderful and touching film and television works, and jointly writing a more splendid and colorful future chapter for the film and television industry.

In conclusion, this award is an important milestone in the team's development, and they are embracing new opportunities and challenges with a positive attitude, moving towards higher goals, and striving to push the global film and television industry to new heights.
