Some article said the Chinese drama is the most popular forgein drama in Youtube,
Google translate:
It took 3 days to search and compare with YouTube and Google, and found that Chinese TV drama has become the most popular foreign TV drama in the world.
I spent 3 days, using YouTube, Google, and comparing them through searches---views, comments, and surrounding TV videos, and came up with this result.
This result is worth watching the website or some official account authors to write some articles.
Based on the tens of thousands of comments on Chinese TV dramas I watched by foreigners, my experience of Chinese TV dramas surpassing Korean TV dramas can be summarized as follows:
1. The biggest advantage of Chinese dramas is costume dramas, especially non-Qing dynasty dramas (they don’t like braids). Costume dramas are number one in the world. At this point, you won’t see any rebuttal comments, and there are no doubts. There will be one occasionally (1 % Bar) said that Korean drama costumes are also improvised.
2. There are many types of Chinese dramas, and Korean dramas have entered a routine cycle mode, and the audience is bored with Korean dramas.
3. The costumes of Chinese dramas, they especially like the costumes in costume dramas. Some comments said that they will need Chinese costumes for marriage in the future.
4. The plot development will not be like South Korea can guess the ending, maybe they see too much routines.
5. Xianxia, fantasy, and immortality are basically only available in Chinese dramas, which are very fresh.
6. The actors in Korean dramas can’t understand and feel uncomfortable after face plastic surgery. The literal translation they speak in English is plastic face plastic surgery.
7. Chinese dramas can be watched on YouTube for free. This is actually the reason for such a quick surpassing of Korean dramas. The most important reason is that Korean dramas are basically not available on YouTube.
There are many things behind the Chinese drama Nenghuo. I have some personal views that China’s economic development and the people’s living standards have improved to a certain level and become attractive.
The lifestyle, urban architecture, roads and bridges, urban features, natural scenery, and various topographic features in the Chinese drama are all attractive and desirable. After all, many countries are limited by territory, economy, history, and Compared with the Chinese drama, it is too far behind in objective conditions. (You can imagine that the environment for falling in love is very important. The cover picture of the Titanic, when placed on a rural tractor, feels that the level is low. On the top bridge guardrails in China, it will be different. Spectacular, geography, and infrastructure are important)
For example, historical dramas, Korean dramas are filmed no matter how well, but the Hanbok that turns into flowers is still too monotonous, and the shabby historical buildings, even if the camera is placed on the ground, the momentum is too small. I can feel that the practitioners of Korean dramas are indeed going to Chinese costumes. The show is imitated, which is one reason why Koreans want to steal culture and history.
The broadcasting platform is very important. The Chinese TV series can be watched on YouTube, which is a very big advantage, just like the countryside surrounding the city.
I have also searched for Korean dramas, French dramas, Turkish dramas and so on. Korean dramas can see that they still firmly grasp the second place. Thai dramas have a large audience and can compete for third place. Other French dramas are behind. Many people watch Turkish dramas than French dramas, and I feel that France is really a pill. Thai dramas are really convincing. Their industry chain is still very strong. They have maintained a certain proportion of fans for decades. As for the failure to break through, it is really affected by the country's economic, technological, and political status.
Indians watch many dramas. Like people in other regions, they are turning to Chinese dramas. They complain about the fact that Indian dramas are too boring and long, and can’t move thousands of episodes. I haven’t watched it because it should be an exaggeration. It’s a consensus that I can judge that Indian dramas are very long, and I haven’t seen anyone discuss whether to watch Indian dramas.
From the perspective of TV dramas, in the future of film and television production, the world may be like Hollywood now. Small countries are increasingly being impacted by industry powers and can only be protected by policies. Look at the current European movies, TV, etc. It is domestically produced that only occupies a small share. Of course, if there are changes in the world's trade rules in the cultural industry, it will be another matter. If Chinese TV dramas remain free to watch for a few years, the TV drama production industry in many countries will be impacted. This impact is definitely much greater than that of Korean TV dramas.
On the whole, the victory of the Chinese drama is its high production cost, more personnel participation, history (watching Korean dramas, there is more foreign evidence, and you can feel how important the depth of history is), and geography. . . With more people and more money, you can do more types, more plots, and better perseverance.
When did Chinese TV show decline? No matter how big the elephant is, it will die because of the rapid aging and decrease of the population, and of course the involution (the internal distribution is becoming rigid, the lower level cannot get nourishment, the upper corpse position is a vegetarian meal, and the high position is controlled, and the whole loses fresh blood, like cancer). It will make all walks of life decline, just like Japan and the United States, they are experiencing population aging and involution. Our film and television industry will be no exception, and will follow the same path. This is a story.
Putting aside people and money, our core competitiveness should be history and geography. Therefore, it is very important to maintain our history and culture and territory. This is our final competitiveness. Even if we are old and weak, that is. Our greatest dependence and reliance.
TV dramas are actually a very good form of cultural output. They have a strong role in the promotion of our country’s culture, clothing, history, ideas, and living habits. From the popularity of dramas, I feel that China is the most promising to break through the monopoly of Italy and France. In the world's luxury goods industry, China's luxury goods are based on our history and culture, and they really have an inherent advantage over Italy and France.
