The platform will distribute incentive bonuses to production companies based on the system rating and actual performance of drama series after their broadcast. EPI is Youkus value assessment indicator for drama series content, related to in-platform ratings, viewership, and in-platform revenue, and can directly reflect the drama series performance on the platform. Under the new rules, Youku will calculate the corresponding incentive amount based on the EPI value 90 days after the drama series peak broadcast period ends, and complete the approval and disbursement within 7 working days. Previously, the business model of the film and television industry was mainly based on "fixed production fees," lacking long-term incentives for content production and returns. The "EPI model" is expected to change this situation.The yield on Japans 20-year government bonds rose 1 basis point to 2.990%.The yield on Japans 30-year government bonds rose 2 basis points to 3.445%, a record high.Star Toys (00869.HK) fell more than 14% after the companys "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" franchise agreement will not be renewed from 2027.

According to advertisements on the company's Chinese website on Monday, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has dropped the beginning costs of its Model 3 and Model Y vehicles in China by as much as 9 percent.


The base price of the Model 3 car was dropped from 279,900 yuan to 265,900 yuan ($36,727.03), while the base price of the Model Y SUV was reduced from 316,900 yuan to 288,900 yuan.


According to Reuters, Tesla has been modifying prices in accordance with expenses. It was reported that capacity utilization at its Shanghai Gigafactory has increased, but the supply chain has remained consistent, leading in lower costs.


This is Tesla's first price cut in China in 2022; earlier in the year, the company raised prices on two models due to rising raw material costs. In September, Tesla began giving insurance benefits to consumers in an effort to encourage future purchases.


Reuters previously reported that Tesla has modernized its Shanghai factory to produce 22,000 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles each week.
