In 2020, people would still gravitate towards entertaining content, especially among the millennial generation. For that reason, his company will continue to develop content with such an approach, at the same time expanding the network and consumer base, he continued.
The opportunity for development in movie-watchers and application users is still open wide, CEO of Gojek Entertainment Group, Edy Sulistyo, said in a different interview in Singapore, Tuesday.
The potential of 155 million Gojek app users posed as a strategic market for the expansion of Goplay, which was launched on September 26, he believed and added that Goplay, which has mainstreamed Indonesian films in their streaming app, has a solid fan base.
In terms of content, Edy also saw the quality of Indonesian films continue to rise. For that reason, they should be exposed not only to Indonesian consumers but also in the regional, even global stage.
"We want for the industry to keep expanding, and we will focus on Indonesian premium films, as well as other local content," he said.
Their participation in the Singapore Media Festival 2019 served as steps to introduce and expand their consumer network and cooperation between media industry makers in the Asian region and globally, both Jimmy and Edy agreed.
The Singapore Media Festival is an annual event that provides a platform for the Asian media industry to network and exchange ideas, as well as expand their connectivity and business cooperation. Related news: Indonesia offers investment in film industry to China
