In comparison with other countries such as the UK, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand, Taiwan still has space for the development of the creative and cultural industries. Although not necessarily coming in large number, three of the most prosperous cases in Taiwan include Liu li Gongfang, Seagull Group, and PiLi International. Liuli Gongfang emerged as a small enterprise and then became one of the world's leading glassware makers. The Seagull Group has an internationally renowned brand, "Fran," because of its successful promotion strategies. PiLi International with its incorporation of multimedia has remarkably converted itself from a traditional puppet theatre troupe into a modern and flourishing venture. While still adhering to the original puppet show philosophy, PiLi has in effect woven the modern and contemporary culture into the puppet show tradition so nicely that it has become a great success in the creative industry. PiLi's innovative commercialization of traditional culture has received much admiration as well as an excellent model for related industries to imitate. In 2002, PiLi was also certified by the Government Information Office as part of an "important emerging industry," recognizing its significant role in the creative and cultural industries. What is the secret lying behind the successful story of PiLi International?
AIts outstanding performance of the traditional puppet shows.
BIts innovative adaptation of the puppets as main characters in a film.
CIts notable merchandising of the puppets into popular culture figures.
DIts productive integration of the old and the new into the puppet shows.正確答案
