EXPERIENCE

I wasn't always in the spotlight, but I was always in the story.

 

Every experience is a collision of content and reality. Sometimes, it's the chaos backstage at a variety show, and sometimes, it's the pause to rework a single line in a pitch deck. I am constantly moving between the scene and the page, balancing intuition with structure, improvisation with intention. These aren't just "projects". They are independent stories---my way of engaging with the world.

 

They are the map of my narrative, and the footnotes to my creative identity.

2024 China Top 1 Reality Show Production

KING OF COMEDY

On-site Contestant Management & Production Assistant

This experience took place on the set of King of Comedy, a Chinese variety show produced by iQIYI and The Nouse Comedy. As a production work experience, I was responsible for contestant coordination, real-time scheduling, and backstage flow management during shooting days. I handled inter-departmental communication, assisted with talent cueing, and ensured contestant performance readiness throughout multiple rounds of filming.

Working in a fast-paced and highly reactive environment, I gained first-hand experience in managing human dynamics, supporting real-time production decisions and maintaining on-site efficiency - all critical skills in content execution.

QING YU NIAN 2 

2024 Simulated Practical Training Project
Platform Content Curation Proposal

This content marketing proposal was developed as an exercise for WeTV (Tencent Video), targeting fans of the hit Chinese drama Qing Yu Nian 2. I crafted a phased communication strategy from the teaser stage to the official broadcast, incorporating both in-app and external interactive experiences, a membership conversion mechanism, and co-branded collaboration concepts aligned with the drama’s tone and user behaviour data.

Throughout the project, I gained valuable insights into the platform’s content operation strategy and user engagement psychology, while honing my ability to deliver structured, compelling proposals under tight deadlines.

ALONG THE RIVER DURING QINGMING FESTIVAL

Transmedia Narrative Creation

In this project, my classmates and I attempted to adapt and reconstruct the narrative of the Northern Song Dynasty painting ‘Along the River During Qingming Festival’ in a cross-media way, and jointly designed an immersive storytelling structure consisting of three small works, combined with a cultural and science popularisation video, a 360° interactive scroll, and an electronic children's picture book, inviting the audience to read and understand the history in the course of the ‘experience’.
 

This is an experiment from the curator's point of view, as well as a collision between traditional culture and new narrative forms.
