“The dark secrets behind hit short dramas! High-level corruption exposed at leading companies, tens of millions in gray income come to light!”
Many senior executives at the well-known short drama company Jiuzhou Cultural Media have been subjected to criminal coercive measures for embezzlement, causing a stir in the industry. According to official reports, Liu Long, Gao Mou Sheng, Chen Mou Fa, and others have taken advantage of their positions to embezzle company assets, with huge amounts of money involved, and the case has entered the investigation stage.
Jiuzhou Culture was established in 2021 and has released over a thousand short dramas in just two years, with numerous hit works. Among them, "After the Divorce, She Takes Six Treasures to Fill the World" garnered 30 million yuan within 24 hours of its launch. However, behind this rapid rise lies a huge corruption black hole.
On May 9, the company announced that three senior executives from the overseas division had been taken away by law enforcement, and announced the establishment of a "Clean and Compliant Employee Committee" in an attempt to reshape internal management. However, this incident is not an isolated case. As early as last year, Jiuzhou Culture was interviewed by the State Administration of Radio and Television for the vulgar content of its short dramas and faced administrative penalties, with non-compliant works removed from the entire network and business suspended for a week.
Jiuzhou Culture responded that this incident stemmed from content review loopholes and that relevant personnel had been dealt with. However, this series of scandals not only exposed the chaos in the company’s internal management but also cast a shadow over its rapidly expanding business model.
From a hit-making machine to a corruption disaster zone, how long can Jiuzhou Culture’s halo last? This turmoil may profoundly change the rules of the game in the short drama industry.
