《猎场》 (The Hunting Ground, 2017) is a hit Chinese TV drama starring Hu Ge as a young man rebuilding his life and rising to become a top headhunter — the title plays on the literal meaning and the modern HR sense. After this show aired, 猎场 picked up new currency as a metaphor for any high-stakes competitive arena (sales, recruiting, dating apps).
