Stephen Chow meets with OKX Ventures to discuss new scenarios for the integration of Web3 and film entertainment
This is the first time Stephen Chow has publicly expressed his views after announcing his entry into the Web3+AI field.
On December 29, 2023, renowned director Stephen Chow, OKX Ventures partner Jeff Ren, co-founder of the NFT platform Nobody Jacky, and Ray Chan, CEO of the internationally known comedy community 9GAG's NFT project Memeland, held a valuable discussion in Central Hong Kong on a series of topics including how Web3, AI, and film entertainment can be better integrated.
During the discussion, Stephen Chow stated, "I firmly believe that good ideas come from the grassroots, and I am very eager to discover talents from various fields, giving them the opportunity to fully showcase their skills. Therefore, I have provided the Nobody Web3 co-creation platform for everyone, hoping that everyone will actively contribute various ideas. For example, in the co-creation of scenes for 'Mermaid 2', I hope that good segments can emerge from the Nobody community, and I will consider actually filming these segments in the movie."
This was Stephen Chow's first public expression of his views after announcing his entry into the Web3+AI field. As the first creator on the NFT platform Nobody (formerly known as Moonbox), Stephen Chow has built a grand worldview for Nobody NFT.
Jeff Ren, partner at OKX Ventures, which is an investor in the Nobody platform, expressed: "I am very pleased to see the growth and transformation of the traditional film industry in the internet era. Internet companies are continuously bringing innovation to the film industry through streaming, big data, and other means, and are also deeply involved in the film industry through investments. Web3 can empower the film industry through blockchain technology, allowing audiences to directly engage with creators through NFTs and DAOs, stimulating more film creation; or NFT-izing movie characters to enhance audience participation and immersion."
"The design of Nobody NFT embodies the community spirit defined by Stephen Chow, where small people can achieve great things. We encourage people not to be limited by social labels such as identity and status. No matter what role you play in society, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can shine in your area of expertise." Jacky, co-founder of the Nobody platform, revealed during the discussion that this set of NFTs may be released on February 1. Previously, internationally renowned rapper MC Jin had also created a new song on this theme, intending to preview the launch of this set of NFTs.
It is understood that Nobody NFT is the first set of NFT works from the Nobody platform, which was originally named Moonbox. Previously, OKX Ventures announced an investment of $1 million to fund innovation.
"OKX, as a leading global Web3 company, has always hoped that Web3 can empower more scenarios. We were very excited to see that Stephen Chow posted on Instagram looking for Web3 partners. We are looking forward to seeing the Nobody platform, designed by Mr. Stephen Chow, develop well, and we hope that more creators can empower their creative careers through this disruptive product," Jeff added.
In recent years, OKX has actively explored the cross-border integration of Web3 with sports and entertainment industries. It has already collaborated with top teams such as Premier League champions Manchester City, McLaren F1 team, and Tribeca Film Festival, aiming to bring a new Web3 experience to more users globally through its partners. As a legendary movie star and director, Stephen Chow has hundreds of millions of fans in Asia and around the world, making him an ideal partner for OKX, and the Nobody platform may serve as an important link for their initial collaboration.
