Yu Zhou, chief strategy officer of Tudou.com, said that with the support of Youku.com, Tudou.com’s video festival will gain more advantages in work recruitment and promotions. In addition, Yu introduced Tudou.com’s new funding project. He said the fund will focus on micro-movies, Internet dramas, and animation; and it will provide comprehensive support, covering capital, promotion, technology, consulting, and production equipment to selected projects.

At present, Tudou.com’s video festival has started work recruitment. Over the following six months, a total of 15 awards will be selected after online voting, works screening, and judges voting. The final results will be disclosed in June 2013.
