"Black Amber" Concludes Successfully: How the Wealthy Plot Reflects the Industry's Explosive Trends

Introduction

Recently, the Twitter Space live event organized by Golden Finance was successfully concluded. This live broadcast took the opportunity of the conclusion of the first season of "Black Amber" to invite several senior practitioners from the cryptocurrency industry and representatives from the short drama production side to engage in in-depth discussions on topics such as short drama creation, investment experience in the crypto market, and the Web3 content ecosystem. Below are the整理 of the guests' viewpoints:

Reflections on Season 1 of "Black Amber": High-Quality Production and Industry Resonance

As the first short drama focusing on the cryptocurrency field, "Black Amber" has attracted widespread attention with its film-level production quality and compact storyline. Guests shared their viewing experiences from different perspectives.

1. Bit Master: Immersion and Industry Mapping

The factory director admitted that he has not fully followed the entire series, but has been deeply impressed by the first few episodes. He believes that the scenes in the show highly overlap with real experiences in the crypto world, such as the ‘Russian roulette’ style opening and the interests game between characters, which made him feel a strong sense of immersion. In addition, the industry phenomena incorporated into the show (such as project airdrops and market fluctuations) also resonate with the audience in the crypto community. "This series allows the outside world to see that the crypto industry is gradually entering the mainstream view, and may attract more outsiders to pay attention to Web3 in the future."

2. Godot: A Benchmark Work That Disrupts Traditional Short Plays

Ge Duo frankly stated that previous short dramas in the cryptocurrency circle were mostly "awkward to the point of being hard to watch," but "Black Amber" broke this impression. From the opening editing to the casting, the drama demonstrates a professional level, especially the "memorable points" in character development that he praised: "The male lead is described as 'a beast,' instantly establishing his character; the dialogue between the male and female leads in the break room lays the groundwork, leaving viewers eager for the subsequent plot." However, he also pointed out that the series is too short and suggested that future narratives should be extended to deepen the layers of the story.

3. Ecofol (Meta Space Partner): The Ceiling of Web3 Content

Ecofol believes that "Black Amber" is a "glorious work" in the short drama of the cryptocurrency world, with filming quality, editing level, and foreshadowing design reaching top industry standards. He specifically mentioned the grand worldview embedded in the drama, believing that it could extend into multiple seasons in the future. "This drama is not only an entertainment product but also an experiment in the combination of Web3 and traditional film and television industries, providing new ideas for the industry."

4. Kiki (Twinkle): User Co-Creation and Interaction Attempts

As the producer of the short drama, Kiki revealed that the team experimented with a "content + interaction" Web3 model in the first season, such as character voting and a big wheel airdrop, to enhance user engagement. After the broadcast, a large amount of user-generated content (such as emojis and mashup videos) emerged in the community, even attracting outside viewers' interest in Web3. "In the future, we plan to further promote users' deep participation in content creation through on-chain incentives and a task system, even deciding the direction of the plot."

2. Investment Strategy: Balancing Short-term Speculation and Long-termism

Facing the rapidly changing cryptocurrency market, the guests shared their respective capital allocation logic and risk control insights.

1. Bitcoin Factory Director: Dollar-Cost Averaging in Bitcoin and IPOs in Hong Kong Stocks

The factory manager allocates 90% of the funds to dollar-cost averaging Bitcoin, firmly believing in its cyclical pattern: "Halving every four years brings a 20-fold increase, and the next peak could reach $300,000." In addition, he is deeply involved in IPOs in the Hong Kong stock market.

2. Godo: Options Trading and Early Project Betting

Godo prefers high-risk, high-reward strategies, investing heavily in Bitcoin options and DeFi projects. Recently, he has been focusing on BounceBit (BTC Re-Staking Protocol) and the Believer platform (incubating early internet projects), believing these areas could replicate the explosive potential of the AI sector. "The zero-risk is controllable, but once a dark horse emerges, the returns can be astonishing."

3. Ecofol: Tool-based Research and Going with the Flow

Ecofol admits to being "not sensitive enough" to market trends, relying more on trading tools and analyzing community dynamics. He advises beginners to pay attention to the hot topics of platform coins and meme coins, while remaining flexible: "The cryptocurrency market changes rapidly, so one must learn to let go and switch tracks in a timely manner."

3. The Future of Web3 Short Dramas: DAO Co-creation and IP Derivatives

How to combine Web3 features with content creation? The guests proposed innovative ideas.

1. User Co-Creation and DAO Governance

Kiki revealed that the team plans to open up storyline voting and character cameos, and even mint some IP elements (such as props and dialogue) as NFTs, giving users ownership of the content. "In the future, we may introduce on-chain incentives, allowing viewers to transform from 'spectators' to 'co-builders.'"

2. Industrial Production and Low-Cost Trial and Error

In response to the potentially increased filming costs for DAO governance, Ecofol suggests drawing on virtual filming technology to achieve "shoot and edit on the spot," thereby reducing the difficulty of developing multiple plot lines. Additionally, he proposed tokenizing script financing to attract more investors to participate in creation, breaking the traditional formulaic predicament of the film and television industry.

3. Relaxed Drama Mode and Community Breakthrough

The factory director calls for shooting stories about "ordinary people making a comeback," showcasing the wealth creation effect of Web3 through real cases: "How a grassroots individual earns their first bucket of gold through airdrops and new investments - such stories resonate the most." Godot hopes to incorporate deeper character growth, such as the contradictions between inferiority and arrogance, reflecting the inner journey of industry practitioners.

IV. Imagine the Future: If you were to participate in a short play, what role would you like to challenge?

The guests' responses showcased the diverse personalities and ideal projections of people in the crypto space.

Godot: Prefers complex characters that are "self-deprecating yet arrogant," like Yin Tianqiu in "The King of Comedy," who reconciles with himself after struggling.

Bit Factory Director: Wants to play the "sweeping monk", a metaphor for the power of breaking class rigidity in the crypto world. "Here, background doesn't matter; seizing the opportunity can lead to a comeback."

Ecofol: Tends to be a "爽文 male protagonist", doing as he pleases after becoming rich overnight, satisfying the audience's imagination of financial freedom.

Conclusion: The Infinite Possibilities of the Web3 Content Ecosystem

This live broadcast not only unveiled the creative behind-the-scenes of "Black Amber", but also showcased the passion and thoughts of the crypto community for the industry. From investment insights to content innovation, the guests' sharing painted a blueprint of the integration of Web3 and film for the audience. As Kiki said: "We don't want to be just content consumers, but to build an ecosystem where participation equals creation and creation equals profit."

As the preparations for the second season kick off, will this "crypto version of Game of Thrones" ignite an even bigger trend? The answer may lie in the participation of every viewer.
