Abstract

In the development of the entertainment and cultural industry in recent years, the fan economy has gradually come to the fore and occupied an important economic position. Produce 101 is the most successful talent show which utilizes digital media to develop the fan economy in China. From media headlines to the idols who have successfully debuted through the show, this show has received great commercial benefits. In this case study, I discuss its digital marketing methods through literature research and the interview of a fan. The conclusion is that the combination of marketing strategies and digital media in the fan economy can indeed greatly increase commercial values. But inevitably, this will also have some negative effects.
