Naman Ramachandran Gold House co-founder and CEO Bing Chen outlined his organization’s vision for bridging entertainment and business opportunities between Asia and the West during a talk at the Taiwan Creative Content Fest. “We have a four-prong strategy now of how we can enable our [Asian] diaspora on a worldwide scale,” Chen explained. “Number one is bringing everyone together.

Number two is reshaping public opinion through media. Three is sustaining positive outcomes economically. And then fourth is making sure that it’s recognized in the mainstream, and not just Asian.” Chen, who previously helped develop YouTube’s creator economy, noted that Gold House has built what he calls “the single largest Asia-Pacific leadership network in the West” and is now expanding to Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, South Korea, Japan, India, Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E.

Chen shared four key criteria for evaluating creative projects: commercial viability with “at least a 10% to 20% return,” potential for critical acclaim, positive cultural narrative impact, and ethical considerations.

He noted that for content investors, the three most valuable opportunities are franchises, prestige content, and format-driven projects, particularly in the horror and thriller genres.
