First launched in 2015, the awards have evolved into a “bellwether of Chinese IP development” renowned for their authority and influence. Notably, all past award-winning works have initiated or completed IP adaptation, spanning publishing, audiobooks, comics and animation, TV dramas and films, gaming, and merchandise. Over 70% of these IPs have achieved international success. For example, Joy of Life 2 (winner of “Most Anticipated Adaptations” last year) broke viewership records on Tencent Video and became the most-watched Chinese series on Disney+ in 2024. Other hits like Guardians of the Dafeng, The Legend of ShenLi, The Outcast, and Tales of Herding Gods have dominated various markets, validating the list’s industry impact.

In 2024, China’s “Goods Economy” (the booming IP-derived merchandise market) surged to 168.9 billion yuan, marking a 40% year-on-year increase and entering a golden growth phase. Projections suggest the market will exceed 308.9 billion yuan by 2029. In keeping with this trend, the “2024 Yuewen Global IP Awards” will debut new award categories for IP merchandise and IP cross – brand marketing, accelerating synergy between the IP and retail economies.

Historically, many of the entertainment industry’s most iconic works, ranging from classics such as Gone with the Wind and The Godfather to more contemporary sensations like Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, and House of Cards, originated from novels. The publishing landscape has undergone a drastic evolution. Chinese companies, with Yuewen serving as a prime example, are now tapping into the potential of digital publishing platforms, web novels, and their authors for comprehensive IP development. These elements offer a rich trove of high-quality content, complete with built – in, passionate fan bases, presenting a valuable new resource for the entertainment industry.

The “2024 Yuewen Global IP Awards” will be live-streamed on WeTV at 6 p.m. on February 28, 2025.
