Taiwan puppeteers look to NFTs to keep their art alive

“Westerners actually really like our martial arts heroes and kung fu,” said VeVe’s brand manager Raymond Chou. Huang, who said their initial listings had sold out seconds after launching on VeVe, is now working on transforming up to 50 other puppet characters into NFTs, potentially adding another million-dollar revenue stream for the studio.

Two “Pili” puppet characters battle each other, with real fire as a special effect, during a demonstration at their filming studio in Yunlin, Taiwan, Feb. 18, 2022.
