Industry core view:
Last week, the media industry (Shenwan) fell 4.26%, ranking 29th in the market, losing 300 in Shanghai and Shenzhen. The meta universe Industry Committee of China Mobile Communications Federation released the “meta universe industry self-discipline convention” on its official website. We believe that with the increasing popularity of the concept of meta universe, a variety of products and enterprises advertised as “meta universe” emerge one after another, and the quality of good and bad causes chaos in the industry. The launch of the Convention is further strengthening the supervision of the yuan universe industry, guiding the public to form rational expectations, resolutely resisting the use of the concept of the yuan universe hot spot for capital speculation and avoiding the formation of market bubbles. Under the guidance of laws and regulations and supervision, the yuan universe can achieve the most stable and sustainable development. Tencent cloud and ICT academy jointly released the white paper on ultra low delay live broadcast. We believe that the release of the white paper aims to lay the foundation for the standardization of ultra-low delay live broadcasting technology, promote the innovative development of ultra-low delay live broadcasting technology, and promote the digital transformation and business innovation of all walks of life with the help of ultra-low delay audio and video technology, so as to bring better online interactive experience to the majority of users.

It is suggested to pay attention to individual stocks with strong content IP commercialization ability; 4) Advertising marketing: focus on individual stocks of ladder media.
