A highlight of the evening will be the unveiling of Yuewen's highly anticipated annual IP honor list, which includes but is not limited to Influential Novels of the Year, Most Anticipated Adaptations, Outstanding Author of the Year, and Actor of the Year. The awards spotlight 2024's top-performing IPs across literature, animation, film, TV, gaming, and merchandise, showcasing Chinese cultural and entertainment industry achievements in 2024.
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.

Owner of viral $1.3M Indianapolis home for sale talks listing, trolls and his unique style
When you sell your home, a private space becomes public as strangers see inside every corner, both online and in person. Indianapolis artist Adam Stoner has experienced that more than most, as his listing has gone viral with more than 100,000 views on Zillow and countless posts and comments online. And when it comes to real estate and art, as they say, everyone's a critic. "What was once my creative environment is now everyone else's experience," Stoner said. "So until we sell, it's more like a hotel now, which I didn't expect." Stoner, owner of the Salt House Tattoo in Franklin and a media personality with a popular YouTube show and podcast, has handled the online criticism with grace and humor. Stoner discussed the viral listing on his YouTube show, explaining his love for the home and his understanding that everyone's style is unique while adding his signature brand of humor. He laughingly read several of the negative comments, like "100 percent a magician lived here," before taking his viewers on an MTV Cribs-style tour of the home to show what makes it perfect for him and, hopefully, a buyer. "Honestly, it's not been fun," Stoner told IndyStar of the negative online comments. "I think that's why I've been having so much fun with it online. People that are rude don't expect me to joke back." We talked to Stoner about what inspired his vision for the home, listed for $1.399M, with gleaming black and white epoxy floors, Chinese temple doors circa the 1500s and more. "I like to make every environment I have an environment that inspires me," he said. "Being a tattoo artist, I need to feel creative in every corner of my life in order to give my clients my best. My shop, the 'Salt House,' is a Victorian dark history private tattoo studio complete with gold and old. So when I come home, I want the silver side of the coin." The massive home has more than 8,500 sq ft, 5 bedrooms, 5 1/2 baths, a resort-style pool, a recording studio and a 9-seat movie theatre. With all that space, we asked Stoner about his favorite feature. "Everyone that comes over loves the movie theater. Hands down for me, my recording studio," he said. "That's where I live most of the time, making music, documentaries, my show, designing tattoos and more." While Stoner waits for the home to sell, the main takeaway seems to be to ignore the noise and do what makes you happy, especially when it comes to your own home. "Decorating the way we did allowed us to be on vacation every day."
