Abstract

This thesis examines the impact of viral short-video film marketing on audience engagement, using the marketing strategy of the 2024 Chinese comedy-drama film “YOLO” on Douyin as a case study. This study explores how Douyin’s short video marketing alters traditional film spectatorship, engages audiences emotionally, and influences their decision-making processes. Utilizing a questionnaire to gather data, the research reveals that Douyin’s strategy not only effectively promotes films but also transforms viewers into “prosumers,” who produce and share marketing content, thus reshaping the dynamics of film marketing and audience interaction.
