In recent years, with the rapid development of emerging technologies such as mobile Internet technology, the pace of media integration has accelerated, and remarkable results have been achieved in many fields. This prompts us to re-examine the nature of media and changes in media communication methods. Technological innovation is not just a catalyst for media convergence, it is also bringing an unprecedented transformation to the media industry. Media convergence is no longer just about the integration of traditional media forms, but involves the in-depth interaction and integration of various media in the information ecosystem. Driven by network technology, the boundaries between different media have gradually become blurred or even disappeared. This media convergence is not limited to form, but has also triggered a series of major changes in collection, content production, and diversified communication. The rise of emerging technologies has brought new opportunities and challenges to inter-media communication, one of which is the emergence of cross-media storytelling models. This concept has attracted widespread attention in the media industry because it represents a new way of producing content. Cross-media storytelling breaks the limitations of a single source of information, allowing the same story core to be expressed in different forms and media, thereby providing a richer and more colorful experience for the audience.
The power of technological innovation has also liberated the shackles of information dissemination, leading to personalized and diversified changes in content production. The business models and consumer power of film and television media companies are gradually evolving. These factors have jointly shaped and redefined the "storytelling" method of the media industry in the Internet era. In this context, the film industry in particular adopts transmedia storytelling as an advanced content creation concept. This concept provides broad development space for the construction and development of the film industry chain. Under the cross-media narrative model, the film industry will present a more comprehensive and systematic operation, taking high-quality IP resources as the core, which can not only be traced back to upstream literary works (online literary works or traditional literary works), but also extend horizontally to film and television dramas, online games, animation, music and other content forms. Moreover, these forms can be transformed into each other to form diversified styles, and can even be extended to offline development, especially the development of film peripherals, thereby extending the investment and benefits of the entire film industry chain.

Experience. Through in-depth research on this successful case, some strategies for the development of cross-media narratives in the development of musical film and television IP are drawn: In terms of content production, the key is to create a highly complete story world and ensure that a unified value concept runs through it to inspire Audiences actively participate, making them part of the story, further enhancing the appeal of the content.
