結果揭曉了

就這樣!!長達兩年多的居留權上訴在此正式告終!!經過2次上訴! 被聯邦法院連審都沒審就直接退件...白花了2000加幣訴訟費用!!

唯一不爽的就是不負責任的律師,上訴駁回消息早在我畢業典禮前一天就出來了~~

結果他居然直到我九月四號寫信問有沒有update, 9月14才回信說以為我早就知道上訴被駁回了!!

真的有夠不負責任的!!

再來就等Oct 20的難民結果...跟著失敗就準備遣返回臺吧...希望能趕快拿回我的護照和身分證

這樣也好!此處不留人,自有留人處~~

別讓台灣知道入聯or返聯有多少好康！

Sandarac's Comment: 或許入聯返聯都是政治操弄手段...不過要知道!!政府已經推動重返聯合國許久了!!

不論是藍政府或綠政府...但始終不得其門而入!現在的目標就是希望能讓2300萬人民

的心聲直接表達出來!告訴國際並不是只有台灣政府想加入或重返聯合國!!重點是

台灣人民也是這麼想的~~

所以....無論入聯公投或返聯公投...無論用何名稱(Except for People's Republic of China)

請一定要投贊成票

別讓台灣知道入聯有多少好康！

聯合國是國際會員組織，擁有許多國際間的資源和經費。台灣因為被聯合國阻擋在外，完全沒有辦法去利用這些國際資源！以下是台灣因沒入聯而受到的損失列表：　

● 科技方面：

　　◎《國際電工委員會》（IEC）

台灣的電器產品佔全球第三位，卻無法直接外銷，必須額外付權利金給各國發證機構，增加成本負擔。

為什麼？因為不是聯合國會員，無法加入國際電工委員會（IEC）！

　　◎《國際電信聯盟》（ITU）

台灣是電信大國，手機普及率世界第一，也是手機與通訊設備的主要製造國，

卻因為不是國際電信聯盟（ITU）的會員國，法參與衛星頻率的協調會議，電信頻率常遭外國衛星電波干擾，

海底電纜的安全無法保障，更因為無法參與新科技標準的制定，

導致廠商喪失研發製造的先機。那趕快加入 ITU 啊！抱歉！台灣不是聯合國會員，沒資格！

　　◎《國際標準組織》（ISO）

因為台灣無法參加國際標準組織（ISO），無法參與產品規格或代碼的制定，國內開發的尖端技術、

專利只好跟國外合作，新技術被迫開放，國名被冠上中國之一省、相關代碼被歸類到中國名下，跟 ISO 抗議？

回答說都是依據聯合國規定，活活氣死你！（中國的貓眼論壇討論到台灣的專利世界第四，都很訝異，

但卻嘲笑臺灣只能做代工，殊不知都是他們害的！）

　　◎《國際農糧組織》（FAO）

台灣的農業科技世界聞名，老共直淌口水想來分一杯羹，可惜台灣農業所栽培出來的蘭花等新育品種，

無法享有品種權的保護，結果一再被剽竊到國外去登記，不但影響台灣農業發展，也影響農民收益，

說來說去還是因為台灣不是聯合國會員，無法參加聯合國屬下的國際農糧組織（FAO）。

　● 經濟方面：

　　◎《國際貨幣基金組織》（IMF）

亞洲金融風暴時，由國際貨幣基金（IMF）主導，借貸給韓國，幫助韓國紓困，重建韓國經濟。

台灣不是聯合國會員，沒資格借錢！

　　◎《世界銀行》（World Bank）

聯合國在第三世界或戰後地區有無數BOT 重建計畫，扶貧、灌溉、學校、醫院、水庫、發電廠、造橋修路、

環保等等五花八門什麼都有，世銀（World Bank）的 IBRD 還提供一百五十億美元給已開發國家的私人公司貸款參與重建計畫。
想跟世銀貸款發展教育經濟？想去智利或賴比瑞亞包攬或參與聯合國重建復興工程？

政府機關私人企業非政府組織學術團體都可以申請！喔！對不起！台灣不是會員國，從1972年起沒你們的份兒！
　　

自從韓國潘基文接 UN 秘書長後，靠他牽引或賣他的面子，南韓就四處包攬 UN 在第三世界重建的工程！

想知道中國政府和企業也跟世銀貸了多少款發展中國經濟嗎？中國勞工部還跟世銀貸款以改善現行勞工的退休金制度哩！
台灣的勞工做夢吧！

　● 外銷方面：

　　◎《世界糧食組織》（WFP）

世界糧食組織（WFP）每年採購至少兩百至兩百五十萬噸的糧食，援助第三世界或戰區的饑荒，

把農產品賣給世界糧食組織是既賺錢又有愛心，台灣的農畜產品和罐頭食物再物美價廉，

六?七億美元的訂單就是沒台灣的份，因為台灣不是會員國！
國民黨要台灣把農產品賤賣給每年還在靠世界糧食組織救濟糧食的中國，
也不願意台灣農會跟世界糧食組織（WFP）做生意！

　　◎《聯合國兒童基金會》（UNICEF）

聯合國兒童基金會（UNICEF）每年至少採購二十億支疫苗幫第三世界或戰區的小孩接種，

即使是要援助是鄰近國如菲律賓、柬埔寨，台灣的藥廠永遠沒法去競標，因為台灣不是會員國！

　　◎《聯合國維和部隊》

聯合國維和部隊目前雇用8萬名的軍事人員和警察和五千名文職人員參加維和，

因為台灣不是會員國，台灣的軍警沒資格申請參加維和（警察的日薪至少是100-120美元還免稅喔），

聯合國維和部隊每年採購用於軍備、服裝、後勤、補給等貨物等天文數字的合約，更輪不到台灣，

舉個例：之前的同事跑去剛果的維和部隊採購部門工作，他的烏克蘭籍上司把維和部隊運輸機的千萬美元合約，

毫不避嫌簽給他的祖國烏克蘭，台灣不是會員國，就沒有台灣人在維和部隊裡面幫台灣軍方或民航業接洽訂單，懂了吧！

　　◎《京都議定書》

京都議定書規定溫室氣體的減量，各國加強審查進口品，影響台灣產品的外銷，我國無法簽約，

也無法參與談判，但為了產品外銷，只好遵守規定減量，然而這樣做台灣並沒得到多少好處，因為無法透過國際合作機制，

降低減量之成本，影響競爭力，全都是因為台灣不是聯合國會員，沒資格簽約談判！

　　◎《聯合國全球市場》

入聯沒意義，聯合國是啥碗糕？有什麼比一中共同市場重要？這裡有個大碗糕，就叫《聯合國全球市場》，

很不幸的，台灣不是會員國，台灣人再有競爭力也沒辦法來這裡賺錢！

　● 教育、衛生、安全：

　　◎《世界衛生組織》（WHO）

世衛（WHO）為了因應全球化和重大傳染病的擴散，於2000年成立Global Outbreak Alert & Response Network（Goarn）

全球疫情警報和應變網，Goarn 彙集了來自會員國學術機構、醫學和監測單位、實驗室、聯合國各組織、紅十字會，

以及非政府組織等等的即時訊息，並發布旅遊警告和進行疫情控制。但是，對不起台灣不是會員國，

收不到相關警告訊息，台灣的疾管局、台大、長庚、榮總等全無法成為全球疫情警報網的一份子，

因為中國人在日內瓦宣稱台灣是中國的一省，中國衛生部「自然」會將疫病消息傳給台灣當局，

當世衛Goarn 發佈最新的SARS 訊息，請問馬英九有收到來自北京的WHO 警訊嗎？根本沒有！才會死那麼多人！

　　◎《海洋科學委員會》IOC

據估計，百分之八十五的海嘯發生在太平洋，台灣也處於高風險區，

目前全球只有聯合國教科文組織下的政府間海洋委員會（IOC），在太平洋設立了國際海嘯預警系統（TWSP），

而台灣既非IOC、也不是TWSP的成員。真的有海嘯來，沒有人會去警告台灣！

　　◎《聯合國教科文組織》（UNESCO）

聯合國教科文組織（Fellowship and training,UNESCO）和世衛（WHO）提供豐富的研究經費和獎助金，

以及各式各樣的人文科學自然科學合作培訓，台灣的學者和學生全沒份兒，拿我自己的經驗為例，

聯合國發展計畫（UNDP）�@衛�@銀的有一個給博士生的專題研究計畫基金，負責人是我指導教授的朋友，

當年他明白的告訴我不必浪費時間申請了，中國每年分到兩個名額，

他們要求台灣學者和學生的申請書要送到中國檢查，中國要指名自己人的來不及，而且各路人馬動用關係遊說，

根本輪不到台灣人，台灣的申請一律否決。最後，我的申請以我指導教授的名字和系所的名義送出，

這筆研究經費有十五萬美金（四百八十萬台幣），我相信台灣沒幾個窮博士生像我一樣好運，但是，

這樣優厚的研究經費和獎助金及各式各樣的培訓造福了世界各國的一票窮學生和學者！

　● 結論：

◎不是聯合國會員，在經濟、國家安全與犯罪防治層面有巨大損失，
而且教、科、文、醫、藥、營建、農魚業等各行各業都損失大了！台灣入聯沒有用嗎！

（鯨魚網站註：以上是胡為者據 che guevara、黃南瀛和其他網友的資料所整理排版出來的，以方便給各位轉寄。）

Entertainment Marketing Plan: Re-launch Pili’s Palmardrama series in U.S.

Executive Summary

Pili International Multimedia Inc., a production group incorporated in 1991 that revitalizes the traditional palmardrama and popularizes it in Taiwan, is seeking to expand its business globally not just for profit, but for preserving and disseminating it.

In 2000, the company makes its first big screen movie “Legend of the Sacred Stone” in order to publishing globally; the box sale seems not having a good number in the western world. After six year’s effort, one of its series was finally aired on the U.S. Cartoon Network; however, just for two episodes, the show was cancelled for its poor rating.

I conclude the major problem of the U.S. launch is because the missing of the original Experiential DNA - “An animated eastern TV puppet drama with real puppet and high aesthetic value for ACGN fans/artists to experience”. In which I found three critical issues that plays an important role in it:

- Issue 1: The show was totally reformatted

- Issue 2: Insufficient pre-launch marketing effort

- Issue 3: Wrong plot selection

The popularization of the Japanese ACGN (Anime, Comic, Game, and Light Novel) shows the potential of North America and even the global market. If Pili wants to take part in the global market, they will need to market their products strategically, matching the marketing mix with its experiential DNA, or even allowing the unethical method of downloading as a contingency plan.

Once being successful in the U.S. market, I am expecting a fast growing of its market share in the global market. On the other hand, we are also expecting the successfulness of the palmardrama with its richness in content could make the ideal eastern form Disneyland come true in the near future, which will also be helpful for the economy of Taiwan from the tourism and cultural industry.

Mission Statement

Pili International Multimedia[viii] is the largest production group that revitalize the traditional Taiwanese palmardrama and devoted to entertain the ACGN[ix] fans who wants to experience the eastern fantasy world and culture by providing a new age digital puppet TV movie series. Unlike the Japanese’s ACGNs such as Naruto[x], Bleach[xi] or Final Fantasy[xii] that are purely animated, Pili’s series having real puppet performing on the stage with real equipments and scenes, is believed to provide a higher interface value to catch audiences’ eyes and hearts.

Objectives

Our objectives is to achieve 1 % of global media market share by the end of 2009, setting up or licensing/franchise at least 5 specialty stores in the States by the end of 2010, and increasing our global market share to 4% by the end of 2015. (Appendix A) In 2020, we expect to setting up an eastern form theme park in Taiwan and attracting 5 million tourists with 8% CAGR. Our ultimate objective as a cultural organization is to preserve and disseminate the specific art of Taiwan, help people understand Taiwan, and eventually support Taiwan’s return to the United Nations.

Why U.S.?

After receiving the Best Director Award in the Golden Bell Award[xiii], and being voted by people of Taiwan as the image that will represent Taiwan to the world (Chuang, 2006), palmardrama has returned its golden age in Taiwan. However, when launching the 2001’s TV series in the U.S. Cartoon Network on February 2006, the show was cut for poor rating after two episodes. [xiv] The result shows that there are still some difficulties in either cultural difference, or unsuccessful entertainment marketing strategy.

“Art functions as a cultural metaphor, mirroring a culture's ideas and values. Technology, colonization, exploitation, revolution, among other factors, have all contributed to affect changes in how humans live and interact with one another individually, and collectively.” (John D. Miles)

Why U.S.? Since one of our major objectives is to attract people who live in the western society to get in touch with the world of eastern fantasy, countries like China and Japan is already excluded from the targeting list. On the other hand, based on the research conducted by Datamonitor (Appendix B), the U.S represents almost 40% of the global market share in this media industry. In terms of value, the U.S. movies and entertainment sector accounts for 44.3 % of the global sector.[xv] On the other hands, considering the derivative products such as the puppet itself or other accessories are quite costly, it is reasonable to target countries with higher GDP (PPP) per capita and huge market like the States.[xvi]

Situation Analysis

Company Analysis – Pili International Multimedia Inc.(See Appendix C for sample video links)

- Goal: To preserve and disseminate Taiwanese palmardrama by achieving 4% of global market share in 2015 and setting up an eastern theme park by 2020 in Taiwan while attracting 5 million foreign tourists with 8% compound annual growth rate.

- Focus: Superior and unique brand; improving puppeteer skills in both product and people side; expanding global market; ethic education, language and skills; customer oriented.

- Production Content: Action and literature in the Chinese context, fighting among good and evil or holy and devil, some series also included Ninja, Samurai, Vampire or alien!

- Culture: Innovative while maintaining artistic value, conservative in HR(Family Business)

- Strength: Market leader in Taiwan; high customer loyalty when people understand it; Irreplaceable and entertaining; uniqueness in dubbing and performing.[xvii]

- Weakness: New comer to the U.S. market; few foreign language masters in the industry; bad first launch image; culture difference.

Competitors Analysis – Japanese ACGNs

- Competitors: Major competitors are the Japanese ACGNs, such as Bleach, Naruto, Final Fantasy, or Kingdom Heart. The American animation/comics are not considered as major competitor due to the different taste of consumers in the target market.

- Content: The content is usually about Ninja and Samurai, fighting between evil/devil and justice, or science fiction like the Final Fantasy. Some of them were more cultural focus to introduce the Japanese cuisines, sports, etc.

- Channels: Cartoon Network, Viz Media, Square Enix, etc.! Usually through direct market like comic book specialty stores, or the mass market such as bookstores and newsstands, some are on a subscription sales basis.

- Pricing: US$ 8~9 for graphic comics;US$20~25 for DVD of 66~100 mins, US$50 for DVD　of 325 mins; Price for other products like games for toys varies.[xviii]

Customer Analysis – ACGN fans

- Market Size: Shonen Jump magazine is expected to sell 1 million (Wong, 2007); The anime market for the United States alone is "worth approximately $4.35 billion” while Annual manga sales in North America have more than doubled since 2002, totaling $200 million in 2006 according to research firm ICv2.[xix] The volume is growing fast. ( Appendix D)

- Type: ACGN fans are usually teenagers and young adults (not just male predominate) from 13~30s, they seem to be more open minded, and well-educated; like spending time on web.

- Value Drivers: They value the togetherness with the same subculture group; enjoy the experience provided in the Japanese ACGNs and the style of graphic animated.

- Special Behavior: Fanaticized ACGN fans will dress up (Cosplay) characters he/she like, it provide them a strong interface value with the character and the imaginary world.

(Above observations based on my Coolhunt/Ethnography project at Anime North and life long experience/observation, partially available at http://www.pixnet.net/photo/sandarac/55006199)

Key Success Factors

According to the Situation and SWOT analysis (Appendix E), I have identified the Key Success Factors for Pili International Multimedia’s America launch are:

1. The strong interface value of derivative products to the show.

2. Growing community with fans overlap among products.

3. Delivering the same image/content to consumers. (Translation, plot, music, etc.)

4. Richness in content and the eastern experience (Including the Japan experience)

Critical Issues for the 1^st U.S. Launch

After carefully review the content of the U.S. version compare to the Taiwanese version as well as consumers reaction toward different version (Appendix F), I conclude that the major problem is the missing of the Experiential DNA (Appendix G) - “An animated eastern TV puppet drama with real puppet and high aesthetic value for ACGN fans/artists to experience”. Based on it, I find three critical issues that resulted to the failure:

Issue 1 – A Totally Reformatted Show

The first launch of “Wulin Warriors” developed by Animation Collective[xx] did a very bad practice, in which the plot, background music, dubbing and characters’ personality are totally reformatted. For example, one of the main characters “Scar (Yeah, Xiao-Te)”, who was originally a mute and very cool swordsman in the series, became a noisy clown. This is because the U.S. editor did not understand the personality of a character should be consistent with its action in the play, and it requires mutual cooperation between the two corporations.

Issue 2 – Insufficient Pre-Launch Marketing Effort

Being a new comer to the U.S. market, Pili should not depend on the Cartoon Network only. The Cartoon Network did nothing but only the TV commercial. Therefore, once the Cartoon Network does a poor marketing job, it also affect Pili’s brand image. What Pili needs to do is to actively participate in the marketing campaign, get direct connection with its target audience.

Issue 3 – Wrong Plot Selection

Choosing the right starting point for the more than 1,300 episodes series will be a key to success. The 2006 “Wulin Warriors” is re-formatted based on a series produced in 2001, in which the plot is too easternized, the controlling of puppetry skill and the supporting of technology & scenes are also not mature compare with today. Although we are targeting audience who are interested in the eastern culture, we still need a good starting point that audiences could resonate for their previous western experience.

Entertainment Marketing Strategy

According to Ansoff’s Strategic Opportunity Matrix, Pili is like introducing its existing product to a new market (forget about the short 1^st launch); therefore, Pili should focus on market development while maintaining its Experiential DNA, this is to differentiate from the other existing products in the marketplace like the Japanese and U.S. Animation. The puppet animation entering the U.S. market is like a brand new thing, it could be very profitable for there is no real competitor. In order to connect to the audiences, Pili needs to create high interface value by providing derivative products that resonate. (Ex. Puppets and Equipments, Sound Tracks, Comics, Games)

Target Market Strategy (See Perceptual Map in Appendix H)

Primary Target Market: Teenagers to young adult from 13 ~ 30s, especially ACGN fans[xxi]

- Size and Sales Potential: More than 1M as a whole (ACGN), create value of more than $4.35 B

- Characteristic: Spend time in front of PC, or hang out with friends with similar interests.

Secondary Target Market: Artists in the puppetry related performing art industry[xxii]

- Size and Sales Potential: Relatively small. The main purpose is not for profit but for potential future recognition and a state of mind level up to differentiate from competitors.

- Characters: Enthusiastic in works of art, self-motivate and creative.

Marketing Mix

In order to create a high interface value, our marketing mix needs to resonate with the Experiential DNA - “An animated eastern TV puppet drama with real puppet and high aesthetic value for ACGN fans/artists to experience”:

Product – Except for the TV palmardrama itself, which is the core; Pili will need to introduce its rich product line to the market in order to let the audiences/artists sense and feel it, which is the most important thing to create a strong interface value.[xxiii]

Place– The distribution channel will be like Cartoon Network, Viz Media, Blockbusters, or even the Internet for the video. For physical products, channels like anime conventions or toy specialty stores will be a good idea; on-line shop is also important and convenient. Besides, a Tea Group – TenRen, which is originate in Taiwan, is also a good place for distribution tangible products to target our audience who are Asian and eastern life enthusiasts.[xxiv]

Price – Price for DVDs should not be lower than the Japanese anime, this is to stress the high aesthetic value and to react the actual production costs. The current price for renting a 140 mins DVD (2 episode) is about US$5~US$7; considering the nominal GDP per capita between US and Taiwan and the pricing of DVDs sold by Viz Media, US$25+ will be an ideal price.[xxv] Other products pricing will be following similar strategy. The puppet itself, which is purely handmade and wooden carved, will be targeting to the high-end and fanatic consumers that could afford US$2,000+ for a work of art, usually young adults with good occupation.

Promotion – Promotion should be on specific dates and locations. Ex.: At the anime conventions or during the Chinese New Year, mid-autumn festival, and so on. Moreover, a free preview for few episodes is quite important when palmardrama first comes to the market.

Implementation and Right Negotiation Plan (Appendix J for Time Line)

First of all, Pili needs to re-negotiate with its agent - Animation Collective for the licensing of its series. It must insure that most of the Experiential DNA – The plot, content, background music, characters name, and voice should not be hugely changed. There is an increasing demand of anime in its original form. “This "light touch" approach to localization has favored viewers formerly unfamiliar with anime. The use of such methods is evident by the success of “Naruto”, and Cartoon Network's “Adult Swim” programming block, both of which employ minor edits.” (Appendix I) An alternative is to produce both forms in order to please everyone since the technology already allows viewers to watch a program in either its original form or dubbed form; however, the cost-effectiveness of the dubbed version is questionable. If Animation Collective is not capable of doing the translation and editing due to the richness in literature is hard to be understood by U.S. translator, Pili should consider do it by giving over its series to a group of people majored in Chinese/English translation and find other brokers or even try to negotiate with the Cartoon Network directly. Moreover, when negotiating with its Agent, Pili should insist on its show not being aired on KOL of AOL because the show is not intended for kids but for teenager and young adult.[xxvi] The licensing fee will be ideally 50% of operating profit generated from the show.

Second, before the launch on TV, Pili should send a group of cosplayers, puppeteers, and related people with related products such as sample DVDs and puppets to all the major anime conventions of North America. (Refer to Appendix D) This is to give our major target audience a first experience/shake of the Taiwanese Palmardrama and to show the similarity/difference of it to the Japanese Anime. Never underestimate the effect of word-of-mouth in the subculture to share information on the Internet, and believe in the uniqueness of the entertainment cultural products.

Third, choosing the right starting point! In my opinion, a good starting point will be the 2003 series (Nine King) which is about aliens attacking the mainland, followed by the two 2004 series (Bloody Imprint and Doom), which is about vampires doom the world; or even the latest two series (Siege of the Dragon and The Expedition) which is about the relationship between Japan and mainland. This kind of plot will be more resonate to its target audiences in the western world but also maintaining the eastern environment.[xxvii]

Fourth, if the re-launch is successful, other derivative products should start to land the U.S. within one year either through licensing to the original channels or franchise to open specialty stores; if necessary capital investment in setting up own store will be required. This is to create the interface value for its audiences. Regarding the tangible products, it can be distributed both on-line and off-line. In order to persuade the Cartoon Network to adopt the light touch form, Pili should give the right of monopoly for its derivative products to be sold on-line if the show is successful. However, physical store is still necessary to strengthen the interface value toward consumers if they could actually see the product before buying it. Thus, TenRen Tea group is a great channel for tangible products to be sold off-line which will benefit both parties for brand recognition. The royalty fee Pili should ask will be ideally its cost plus 15% wholesale value of products sold. As for the series DVD after each season, channels like Blockbuster or Viz Media or even the Cartoon Network itself could be take into consideration as long as they feel it to be profitable. Pili can set up a one-time buy-out fee for each DVD series in the short run before the show is well-recognized; in the long run, they will need to re-sign the contract for either revenue participation or profit participation for the DVD sold.

Fifth, currently Pili is working on its 2^nd big screen movie (3 episode) and wish it to go worldwide in early 2009, 2010 and 2011(The first one is launched on 2000)[xxviii]. I have a feeling that it will fail again for the movie is a brand new stuff (Plot is about Greece God and Taoism God fall foul of each other) without TV series back-up like Spiderman, Superman or Japanese Anime suck as One Piece or Conan and thus hard to create the Long Tail effect! What I will suggest to minimize impact and maximize box office sale is to launch it after the TV series’ success in the North America market. Otherwise, before people getting familiar with the palmardrama, it will be likely to fail again. A puppet movie is just too rush to be accepted by people in the west. Moreover, movie director David Weaver once mentioned that never subtitle a movie unless you are Ang Lee, it will be helpful if Ang Lee can endorse the upcoming new movie since he was born and bred in Taiwan, which will also increase the attention of talents in the movie industry – our secondary target market.

Finally, if everything goes well and the market keeps growing, the dream of an eastern Disney will not be far away; however, the cost of building up a theme park could be enormous. For example, Hong Kong Disney phase I cost around US$ 2 Billion (Ho, 2000). Therefore, either seeking for joining venture opportunity with Taiwanese government or other entertainment groups, or capitalize by IPO will be necessary for Pili’s future growing.

Evaluation of Successfulness

The successfulness of palmardrama re-launch will be based on the following criteria

Audience Rating: Audiences’ reaction for the first few shows, to determine continuing or not.

Goal Congruence: To see if Pili could achieve its objectives, or at least close to the objectives.

Capital Gain: Business is usually for profit, capital gain is always important.

Foreign Apprentices: The number of foreign apprentices shows how audiences are affected.

Control – Contingency Plan

Basically speaking, a huge capital investment is not required for Pili’s licensing of its existing products. Even not expanding to the U.S. market, they still producing the palmardrama and sell it in Taiwan and part of Japan. The major capital investment will be like the pre-launch marketing campaign for its people and products to show up in the major anime conventions for the first few years, translation of its series if necessary, and the buying of land in U.S. if necessary to set up its own store, finally will be the theme park.

However, it is possible that the existing network still make changes to the original content, which might leads to failure again due to the change in Experiential DNA. Therefore, my contingency plan for Pili’s U.S. re-launch, should provide a solution for the needs of original and latest content.

It will be downloading based! Like the music download, most of the Japanese anime is also available on the internet with English or other languages’ subtitles. This kind of form always comes from different fansubs.[i] Fansub groups usually do not profit from it, they do it by their enthusiastic of providing good content to share with people of the same interest. Although some of them have resulted in lawsuit against the media industry, Kadokawa Pictures USA and Bandai Co., Ltd[ii] specifically thanked fansubbers for their role in helping to make The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya popular in the English speaking world.[iii]

In my opinion, it’s a clever action of Kadokawa and Bandai. Lawsuit against your audience is like stabbing your girlfriend. Companies should think of this in other angles - Fans are actually doing the marketing for its products. Although company may not be able to gain too much from selling DVDs; nevertheless, they might sale more derivative products from it, which is the real cash cow

Therefore, it will be a viable plan for Pili to admit and accept, but not necessarily support the well-intended piracy among fans. This is expected to speed up the popularity of palmardrama in the U.S. and global market.

Appendix A– Global Movie and Entertainment Market

In 2009, the global movies and entertainment sector is forecast to have a value of $173 billion, an increase of 33.9% since 2004. The compound annual growth rate of the sector in the period 2004-2009 is predicted to be 6%.

Art and Politics - 從台灣布袋戲探討政治對文化產業的影響

Executive Summary

“Art functions as a cultural metaphor, mirroring a culture's ideas and values. Technology, colonization, exploitation, revolution, among other factors, have all contributed to affect changes in how humans live and interact with one another individually, and collectively.” (John D. Miles)

Taiwan, a country that has been ruled by four political powers in the past 150 years; Palmardrama, a cultural art that has been strived to survive under these political powers. During this period of time, palmardrama has changed a lot in response to the environment:

- Late Qing-Dynasty: Changed from Wen-xi to Wu-xi, which enabled philistines to watch it.

- Late Japanese Colonialism: Forced to change from Chinese play to Japanese play.

- KMT Autocracy era: Changed from classical palmardrama to Jin-Guan/TV palmardrama.

- Post KMT and DPP era: Changed from Jin-Guan palmardrama to movie/animation style.

Some of the changes reflected to the political environment, some of the changes were forced by government policies. Sometimes government tried to control the art, sometimes government just let it be, and occasionally government played an assistance role. Artists reacted to those policies in different ways; some of them temporarily changed their career, some of them learned new languages in order to earn their livings, some of them devoted to preserve the classical palmardrama, and some of them kept innovating in order to disseminating the art. Tradition and innovation, a paradox everlasting, a story never ends.

What is Palmardrama? What makes it Special?

² The History of Palmardrama

Palmardrama (Also called hand puppet show or hand puppetry)[i] originated in Fujian Province, China, in the 16^th~17^th century, and disseminated to Taiwan in mid-seventeenth century with the immigrant tide.[ii] There is a tale for the origin, “In the Ming-dynasty (1368-1644), a scholar named Liang prayed in a temple for success in the national exam in order to work for the emperor. After that he had a dream, a senior wrote “Success Lies in your Palm!” on his hand. When he woke up he thought this is a good sign; however, he failed again in the exam, felt desperate, so went back home and learn marionette from his neighbor, then invented palmardrama, which became popular so that he earned the reputation and finally realized the meaning of the dream.”[iii]

² The Feature of Palmardrama

Just as the name shows, palmardrama is a drama played by palm. An old saying, “Life mirrors art, arts mirrors life” best describes how life is expressed through palm and puppets. “Similar to the Chinese opera, traditional palmardrama is divided into the front stage and the backstage. The front stage, known as the "show platform", the audience is shown a demonstration by a master puppeteer on the stage. The backstage consists of the puppeteer master, the orchestra, and the spoken parts.”[iv]

On the other hand, the new palmardrama, or called TV palmardrama, performed more like movie. Although there is still front stage and backstage, but no audience is in front of stage as well as orchestra and dubbing parts at the back. However, unlike movie, background music and dubbing are accomplished in the studio before shooting.

² The Puppet

A traditional puppet is constructed in at least the following parts: Body Frame, Clothing and Helmet/Hat. Body Frame can be subdivided into wooden head and hand, cloth body and leg, and shoes. A traditional puppet, in order to be controlled by one hand easily, is only about 8 inches in height.[v] The basic frame for TV puppet is similar; however, puppet is more delicate and flexible, with more accessories and looks more like human, which can make a fist, blink eyes, open mouth, etc.. A TV puppet is about 4 times larger than a traditional one; therefore, a puppeteer cannot manipulate two TV puppets at the same time.

² Characters[vi]

Similar to the Chinese opera, there are mainly 7 kinds of characters in palmardrama, which can be subdivided into 60 characters.

1. Sheng(生) – Sheng means mature or old man, normally for the leading positive character. This character is always well versed in both polite letters and martial arts.

2. Chou(丑) – Chou is known as clown, used to entertain the audience.

3. Dan(旦) – Dan means mature or old female. Puppeteer and vocal artist must be able to perform and dub a Dan like woman.

4. Jine(淨) – Jine is for martial-art based character. In the classical palmardrama, Jine’s face is always painted to show his nature; but for TV palmardrama, Jine always looks very cool.

5. Ton(童) – Ton means child, whatever male or female. Ton is a dexterous character.

6. Tsa(雜) – Tsa is a character for Taoism God, ghost, or all the other categories.

7. Shou(獸) – Shou is the mandarin pronunciation of animal, all animals are categorize as Shou.

² The Drama

Like the Chinese opera, palmardrama can be divided into 2 styles, Wen-xi(文戲) and Wu-xi(武戲). Wen-xi emphasis highly stylized acting and traditional Chinese literature, such as poem and celebrated dictum.[vii] For example, one of the most distinguishing features of palmardrama is that every important character will have its own opening poem, which requires parallel and rhyme. People who are really interested in the drama will try to know more about what is said or written in the play. This has a positive educational meaning, because the language used in palmardrama is much more elegant and refined Taiwanese/Chinese, so the drama helps preserve the literature as well as the language. “You get so much more out of it if you know something about what you are hearing – when you can follow the form and hear the development of the ideas,” Feves mentioned in the interview. (Susan 1998)

Wu-xi focus on acrobatic and martial-art skills, some skills cannot be easily performed by human beings can be done through puppet.

With so many similarities between the Chinese opera and palmardrama, the drama in this industry is called Xiao-long (小籠) compared to Da-long (大籠) of the Chinese opera.[viii]

² Dubbing – The Soul of Palmardrama

Nobody will deny it if you say that dubbing is the soul of palmardrama. Puppet cannot speak; therefore, at least 50% effort is from the art of vocalization. If you know that all the characters in the play, whatever male or female, young or old, human or animal, are all dubbed by one person, you will be more astonished. Nowadays, the most famous vocal artist is Mr. Vincent Huang, General Manager of PILI International Multimedia – the largest palmardrama company in Taiwan, which I personally think can be attributed to Mr. Huang's great vocal talent.

“With an honorable title of "Eight Tone Genius", Vincent Huang is responsible for the part of vocal performance. He dubs all characters’ voices by himself. His rich voice is performed with full emotion that brought the characters to live, giving each wooden puppet its own personality and livelihood. He is the best in this arena; even professional vocal artists from other countries are amazed by his talent. Therefore, vocals are recorded first before filming. This is to give the director, puppeteers, and other production workers a chance to find each puppet's emotion and production inspiration through Mr. Huang's voice.”

The Evolvement of Taiwanese Palmardrama before the Second World War

There is not too much historical data about palmardrama before the Second World War, but the drama can be basically demarcated in two eras.

It is also important to note that, during this period of time, palmardram was only performed outdoor. After the 19^th century (even until now), the classical palmardrama is usually performed in front of temple, which is a kind of ceremony to express thanks toward gods.[ix]

² Early to Middle Qing-Dynasty(1644~1800)

Qing-Dynasty last for 267 years, as I mentioned before, palmardrama disseminated to Taiwan in mid-seventeenth century (around A.D. 1650). About from 1650 to 1800, palmardrama is Wen-xi dominated, which was recognized by gentlemen and scholars.[x] One of the reasons I think is that because Wen-xi is too hard for illiteracy or philistine to understand, only those who are able to understand it would like to watch it. Nick Zangwill mentioned some audience theories in the journal – “Art and Audience”. “According to Nelson Goodman, “A work of art imparts a kind of understanding (to an audience)”, In George Dickie’s earlier institutional account, a work of art is deemed by someone to be a candidate for appreciation, which is intentionally presented to the art world (a particular audience)”(Zangwill, 1999). Therefore, the candidate (gentlemen and scholars) must be able to understand and thus to be able to appreciate the art.

The musical instruments used at this time were mainly orchestral instrument, which is more noble and graceful. Besides, the play is called “Lond-di”(籠底); Long-di does not have too many scripts available and is much hard to understand for those without education.[xi]

² End of Qing-Dynasty to Early Republic of China (1800~1937)

In the nineteenth century, The Qing-Dynasty became weak, and many countries started to invade China. In 1894, “First Sino-Japanese War” exploded, the Qing-Dynasty lost the war to Japan and then, according to the Treaty of Shimonseki, Taiwan was therefore ceded to Japan for 50 years (1895~1945) until Japan lost the Second World War.[xii]

During this time, palmardrama also changed its form of performance. Instead of Wen-xi, Wu-xi replaced and dominated the play.[xiii] In my opinion, this is kind of reaction to the political environment. Because of the weakness of China, people started to recall the best of time when China is still quite strong. On the other hand, Wu-xi also has an effect of promoting martial arts, which taught people to fight back or at least training themselves. Besides, Wu-xi can be much easily understood by the general public because the language used in Wu-xi is much plain compare to Wen-xi. There is not data available to know if the change from Wen-xi to Wu-xi was government leaded, probably only a change to cater to the social trend. This is also supported by Murray Edelman’s “From Art to Politics”, in his book Murray mentioned that “The art is always a social product, never an individual fabrication, also means that it can both buttress democratic institutions and serve as a potent weapon for elites. The ideas that issue from works of art reflect group interests, as do the particular channels through which art becomes available to a susceptible public.” (Edelman, 1995)

Except for the change from Wen-xi to Wu-xi, the use of musical instruments and drama topic also changed. To match up with Wu-xi, the traditional orchestral instrument was changed to percussion instrument, which has more majestic effect than orchestral instrument. Moreover, the scripts also changed from Long-di to Zhang-hui novel (a type of traditional Chinese novel with each chapter headed by a couplet giving the gist of its content), which has more acrobatic combat scenes. One of the most famous Zhang-hui novels is “The Romance of Three Kingdoms”.[xiv]

In the late 1920s, many theatrical organizations were established, of which the most famous two are:

1. Wu-Zho-Yuan (Five-Continental) – founded by Hai-Dai Huang in southern Taiwan.[xv]

2. Yi-Wen-Zen (As vivid as life) – founded by Tian-Lu Lee in northern Taiwan.[xvi]

Mr. Huang (passed away this February at age 107) is being called the Pope of Palmardrama, the Huang family is still the most influential family in this industry, represents the innovative side. Mr. Lee (passed away in 1998 at age 88) enjoys equal fame as Mr. Huang; his organization represents the classical side.

Taiwanese Palmardrama in the Second World War (1937~1945)

During the first forty years of the Japanese occupation (1895~1935), the Japanese did not has too much restriction on palmardrama, similar to what it was in the Ming and Qing Dynasty. At this time, Taiwan mainly treated as a supplier of goods and materials, especially agriculture product. However, after the Marco Polo Bridge Incident in 1937[xvii], China declared war to resist against Japanese aggression; on the other hand, in order to enhance its colonies’ loyalty, Japan started the “Kominka Movement”.[xviii]

² The Effect of Kominka Movement toward Palmardrama

Does government policy have a great influence on arts? The answer should be always true. Take government funding for example, if government cut funding to the arts, more art institutional resources would be spent on fundraising rather than on producing arts. On the contrary, “one huge advantage of government funding over private philanthropy is that it does not make the artist feel beholden.” (Kate, 2001)

There are many policies in the Kominka Movement, which encompass in all aspect. The Japanese empire required Taiwanese to speak Japanese, wear Kimono, live in Japanese style house, give up folk religious belief but go to Shinto shrine only, worship the emperor of Japan, change name to Japanese name, etc. In a word, Taiwanese should become real Japanese, so that government could recruit them to war. (Leo, 2001)

Palmardrama, obviously did not match any of the requirements. It represents the Chinese culture. Therefore; in the early time of Kominka Movement, the Japanese firstly prohibited the using of traditional Chinese musical instrument. Then, the Japanese restricted scripts that are related to failure, nation’s doom, adultery, and any other that would affect feelings of citizenry about the government. In 1941, because the war is not as smooth as expected, palmardrama and all the other Chinese operas were then totally banned.[xix]

How did artists react to the Kominka Movement? The general public cannot accept palmardrama without traditional musical instrument, without those scripts that were on everybody’s lips. I remember many of the guest speakers, like Chad Irschick, Rob Pazdro and David Weaver all mentioned that being creative and decisive is important, you need to find your own way to survive. Therefore, in the early time, Mr. Huang went to remote towns for performance, where there were not many Japanese spies. But in 1940, Wu-Zho-Yuan was forced to dismiss. Mr. Huang and his family had to stay at home and worked as temporary labour.[xx] Another famous organization, The Hsiao Hsi Yuan Puppet Theater[xxi], is forced to perform in China for three years, and had a really hard time. As for Mr. Lee, he stopped the performing of Yi-Wen-Zen from 1937~1941, and had been running tea and oyster businesse, but all bankrupted. He then went to other Chinese opera as director and temporary actor.[xxii] This is probably the worst of time, in order to survive, these artists also started to learn Japanese.

In 1942, a government official and a senior police officer suggested the entertainment department that, if totally forbid Taiwanese express their thanks to the gods on important dates, this might leads to rebellion. But if use arts as media to carry out policies, this will have a positive effect. Hence, the “Taiwanese Theatre Association” was set up.[xxiii] The rules are[xxiv]:

1. Taiwanese can be spoken in the drama, but Japanese should be the majority language.

2. Only western or Japanese music/musical instrument are allowed in the play.

3. Puppets must wear Japanese clothes, perform Japanese literary works.

4. Performance must be in the theatre only, which transfer the trend from outdoor to indoor.

At that time, there was not television available; watch drama performance is the major entertainment for the general public, just like watch TV in the 1990s. Bob Franklin wrote in his book “Social Policy, the Media and Misrepresentation” that,“Such Occasions have become routine events for government ministers and central to the process of policy presentation. The current emphasis on the media packaging of policy means that ministers are more likely to be seen on television opening a new hospital building or feeding their children beef burgers during a food scare than engaged in more traditional activities such as debating at the dispatch box in the House of Commons.”(Franklin, 1999)

Artists, in order to survive, are forced to join the Taiwanese Theatre Association. At that time, only seven palmardrama groups got the certificate to perform. However, the rules made the drama neither fish flesh nor good red herring. To combat with those rules, according to Mr. Huang, “In order to satisfy our audiences, in the later part of our performance, when the Japanese police officers were out for drinks, we changed back to the traditional music, and audiences will know we are going to perform the classical play! Sometimes this kind of extra performance was so hot that we were performed until mid-night.”[xxv] Mr. Lee and other groups like Hsiao Hsi Yuan also did the same thing.

This is also similar to what described by our panel guest. In order to get support or have their work published, both David and Chad mentioned they have felt compelled to “distort” information so that producers are told what they want to hear, in some cases even resorting to lying. Nevertheless, cheat in this epoch would sometimes lead to very terrible result. According to Mr. Huang, they were caught twice and sued for this kind of smuggling performance, and many of the artists were beaten cruelly, even invalidated the license. Most seriously, Mr. Huang’s brother was imprisoned and tortured to death because he violated the curfew regulation and clashed with the police, which almost leaded to Mr. Huang’s early retirement.[xxvi]

Taiwanese Palmardrama in the KMT Autocratic Era (1945~1988)

After the Second World War, palmardrama was no longer restricted. Suddenly, new groups emerged in large number throughout the whole island. Both indoor and outdoor performances were very popular. In 1949, KMT was defeated by CCP, and withdrew to Taiwan. Hence, palmardrama was totally independent from China.[xxvii]

² Anti-Communism Palmardrama (Early 1950s)

“The Nazis rapidly seized control of the media's communication means for dissemination of political rhetoric, effectively severing the progression of German cultural art.”(John D. Miles)

The above best describes how KMT seized control of cultural arts, just like the Japanese. Once again, palmardrama was restricted to indoor performance only for several years, which is much easier to prevent and control spy from China.

Although KMT did not regulate the script to anti-communism only, it was highly recommended by the government to perform this kind of play. Many drama competitions and awards were hold in the name of anti-communism. In order to win the prize, many groups practiced and performed this kind of script in the theatre.[xxviii]

Because the anti-communism drama was very dull and with little scripts available, which did not appeal to the general public, it only last for few years. Until 1960s, only one group, Hsin Hsing Ku Puppet Show Troupe, was selected by government to continue this play for road show around Taiwan.[xxix]

² Jin-Guang Palmardrama (1950~1970)

Jin-Guang Palmardrama is another product under the regulation of indoor performance. This also has a significant effect on the puppet size, because those who sit at the back of theatre could hardly see the puppet; therefore, artists enlarged the puppet from 8 inch to 1.2~2 feet in order to attract more audiences and increase revenue. From this on, the conflict between classical and innovative palmardrama officially started. One argument is that the smaller puppet is much flexible and technical compare to the larger one.[xxx]

Jin-Guang means golden light because it uses neon lights, dry ices, and sparks to make special effects. This kind of palmardrama has a huge difference between the classical palmardrama. Except for the puppet size and special effects, major changes are:[xxxi]

1. Face – In classical palmardrama, the color on a puppet’s face represents the personality of the character. For example, black means rash, red means loyalty and green means sinister. Nevertheless, Jin-Guang palmardrama, although still follows the basic rule, focuses more on the modeling of the face and has much more varieties.

2. Clothes – In classical palmardrama, you can judge if the character is aristocrat based on its clothes. Aristocrats’ clothes are embroidered with totems like animal, flower or fish. But in Jin-Guang palmardrama, clothes are much more simplified.

3. Platform – In classical palmardrama, the platform is woodcarving and colored, which restricted to limited space but much more delicate. On the other hand, Jin-Guang palmardrama uses painting and cloth curtain as background to provide more flexibility.

4. Script – In the past, except for anti-communism and Kominka Movement, scripts are mainly based on Zhang-hui novel. However, Jin-Guang palmardrama, gradually decrease, or even does not use adapted script, but creates its own and modify it base on audiences’ reaction.

5. Background music – Classical palmardrama must have an orchestra at the backstage, but Jin-Guang palmardrama replaces it with phonograph or tapes with non-traditional music.

6. Front Stage Performer – Classical palmardrama performs small puppet in limited space, therefore maximum 2 puppeteers are required. But Jin-Guang palmardrama goes with multiple puppeteers in the front stage, which also leads to division of labor in this industry. A puppeteer no longer required to specialize in all the different moves of puppet characters.

As mentioned, in order to live under government policy, artists strive to increase revenue in the theatre. Unlike outdoor, revenue came from those temples, their revenue were from ticket sales only, no government sponsorship at all. Palmardrama were therefore forced to do the above mentioned changes. Like Joseph Lampel mentioned, the paradox between Artistic Values Versus Mass Entertainment, “Cultural industries strive to remain loyal to artistic values, but they must also deal with market economics. The question that persistently confronts organizations in cultural industries is: Which one of these imperatives should drive decision making?”(Lampel, 2000)

Apparently the market and government policies has made the choice for the artists, during this 20 years, groups that performed classical palmardrama has decreased severely both indoor and outdoor. Until now, for those big organizations, only Hsiao Hsi Yuan and Yi-Wen-Zen is still performing the classical palmardrama.[xxxii]

² TV Palmardrama (1962~1974 and 1981~now)[xxxiii]

In 1962, the first TV station TTV was established by the government.[xxxiv] The same year, TTV invited Mr. Lee to perform “The Romance of Three Kingdoms” on TV for 1 year. At this moment, palmardrama officially moved to TV. However, Mr. Lee’s group is primarily classical based, which was not appreciated by the general public at that time. So the performance was not as popular as expected. Afterward, there were still some other groups performed on TV in mandarin and but still not appreciated by audiences.

In 1970, Jun-Xiong Huang (Pope of Jin-Guan palmardrama and son of Mr. Huang) transferred Jin-Guan palmardrama to TV. Suddenly, the play (Big Confucian Hero of Yun-Zhou) became Taiwan’s most famous play ever. It was performed on TV for 4 years (583 episodes), and the leading character Shi Yan-Wen became Taiwan’s hero at that time. This play created many unbreakable records every Taiwan’s history:[xxxv]

1. Highest TV rating ever – 97% (Only 3 TV stations owned by government at that time).

2. Students skipped classes, people stopped working, almost no vehicles or pedestrians on street when the show was on, and people crazily imitated the characters.

Therefore, in 1973, the KMT government banned all the TV palmardrama shows for two reasons – “Affect People’s Daily Schedule” and “Promoting Mandarin”.[xxxvi] The effect is Similar to what happened in BBC in 2004; the difference is that UK is a democracy country, government do not have, or not allowed to persecute the media. (Saunderes, 2004)

“Once you begin to "control" art, art can no longer function properly in a society. When artists become uncertain and afraid to express themselves, the fear spreads throughout the culture like a cancer, resulting in a people and culture as lethargic as that of Nazi Germany.” (John D. Miles) As I mentioned in class, in the past, it is not allowed to speak Taiwanese in school or formal occasions, otherwise you would get fine. The KMT government forbad TV palmardrama and promoting mandarin has once again seriously harmed the industry. Through education, Taiwanese language was deemed as a low class language for quite a long time. On the other hand, people’s taste has changed to TV instead of indoor or outdoor performance. Therefore, even though in 1981, the KMT government once again allowed TV palmardrama performance (but can only speak mandarin and only performed in 1 TV station), few people would like to watch it and regard it an inferior art.[xxxvii] Before 1988, this cultural industry was almost died for the opening of foreign entertainment programs.

Artists, in order to survive and preserve this art, took different strategies to deal with the environment. For example, Mr. Huang’s grandsons went into the video tape market in 1988, Mr. Lee’s family has many foreigners came to learn the arts and disseminate it abroad.[xxxviii] Other famous groups like Hsiao His Yuan or Hsin Hsing Ku went into the campus.

Post KMT and DPP Democratic Era (1988~now)

In 1988, the first Taiwanese President, Lee Teng-hui, replaced and ended the Jiang family’s autocracy.[xxxix] Especially in 1991, President Lee Teng-hui declared the Period of Communist Rebellion to be terminated.[xl] In 1993, the government allowed cable TV station[xli], and in 1994, after six years effort in the video tape market, Christ Huang and Vincent Huang established PILI Satellite TV channel.[xlii]

PILI International Multimedia is now the hegemony in TV palmardrama. It makes use of computer animation and filmmaking techniques, also manage the company in the modern way. PILI successfully disseminate palmardrama to the young generation, and helps palmardrama stands up. Other than Shi Yan-Wen, the leading character Su Huan-Zhen has gradually replaced it place and is also the brand image of PILI. Between tradition and innovation, Christ Huang made the following comment (translated to English):

“Why innovation? We has walked through the way and spurned such culture. Hence we will think that not just we don’t like it, other teenagers will have the same feelings. In order to remove the bad image of palmardrama, we must change! Change it to a much fashionable and life related product.”[xliii]

Christ Huang and Vincent Huang, in their earlier age, because of government education, did not like palmardrama at all. They had ever organized a pop band in their early twenty something. This tells us how horrible government policy could be, even in such a famous palmardrama family; its offspring still has this kind of feeling to the art.

Instead of oppressing arts, the government actively helps preserve the art. Especially in 2000, with the help of Lee Teng-hui, DPP ended KMT’s presidency and Taiwan became a real democratic country.[xliv] Many art museums or foundations like National Center for Traditional Arts, Litienlu palmardrama museum, and Se Den Society were established.[xlv] Government, PILI, and traditional palmardrama work together has given life to this industry. Highlights are:

1. In 1998, PILI presented the first indoor play[xlvi] to National Theater & Concert Hall.[xlvii] This play was the first time palmardrama went on to National Theater in Taiwan, which means it is no longer an inferior art. It is also important to know that instead of making TV palmardrama in its film studio, PILI can still perform directly in front of the general public.

2. In 2000, PILI presented the first palmardrama movie – Legend of the Sacred Stone[xlviii] This movie has been translated to English and Japanese and disseminated overseas, including film festivals like Fantasia in Canada, FFF in Sweden, FFH in Germany, etc..[xlix]

3. In 2005, PILI’s TV play series won the Best Director Award in Golden Bell Awards.[l] This award is known as the Oscar Award in Taiwan, and the event was originally held by Government Information Office.[li] Since 2000, Broadcasting Development Fund was in charged of it, but the government still plays an important role to it. When palmardrama won the prize in 2005, many actors were not happy about it because they did not think they were worse than puppets. However, it is not about actors, but about directing.

4. In Feb. 2006, PILI’s 2001 play were aired on Cartoon Network in the United States.[lii] Unfortunately, only for two episodes, the play was cut for its poor rating.

5. In Feb. 2006, “Taiwanese hand-puppet has been voted by the public as the image that would represent Taiwan to the world.” (Chuang, 2006)

Conclusion – What’s next?

With government and artists’ co-operate, Palmardrama has once again reached its golden age. It is now officially voted to be the image of Taiwan and will represent Taiwan to the world in formal occasions. However, the failure on Cartoon Network due to poor rating shows that there are still some difficulties in either cultural difference, or unsuccessful marketing strategy. To disseminate this cultural art, the first step will be working on translation. I asked David Weaver if it is suitable for Asia films to use subtitle and keep the original dubbing in North America, he said “Unless you are a famous director like An Lee; otherwise never subtitle it.”

The Japanese animation has successfully got a place in the world market, can Taiwanese palmardrama follows the same model or find its own way, it will require everyone’s effort.

還被尻GS....Orz

全場超High

我的位置是115區就一壘第一層後排$41+2=43 CAD

鏡頭到200端都開光圈晚一點的時候畫質可能不好.......
