In addition, there are three costume dramas such as “Green Line”, “Datang Mingyue” and “Feng Yu Jiu Tian”, which have been officially launched for many days. So far, no actor has entered the group to shoot the exact news. Here are not included in the year’s startup projects. On the list.

On the other hand, the pressure of policy supervision on costume dramas has also followed. Recently, many sources have revealed that next year’s costume dramas will continue to be subject to high-pressure supervision, and the video platform may be required to launch only one costume drama each month. If this news is true, the five major video platforms can digest 60 costume dramas next year, which is basically the same as the costume projects launched this year.

Of course, a realistic consideration is that there are more than 40 costume dramas to be broadcast before this year, including “Old People of the Mountains and Rivers”, “Changan in the World”, “Yongjiang Rivers and Mountains” and “Long Song Palace Songs”.

Roughly calculated, next year, the top five video platforms will need to digest nearly a hundred costume dramas, which is expected to be more difficult. For non-video platform home-made dramas, they may all be “left over” and become backlogs.

Hot topics start together

Corresponding to the “delisting” of the ancient costume drama, the realistic theme “raising the account”, urban female group dramas (emotional dramas), special industry dramas, and rural dramas have become popular reality themed dramas.

Due to the high-pressure supervision of costume dramas, the heroine (Mary Su) drama is ebb, and urban female group dramas (emotional dramas) have replaced them, promoting popular women to the theme.

A total of 12 urban women’s theme projects launched during the year, including “Imperfect She”, “Dear Self”, “He didn’t really love you that much”, “I really love you”, “Thirty Only”, “Twenty” “No Confusion” and other group dramas about three or more heroines, and “Quiet Living in a Restless World”, “Sweet”, “White Moonlight”, “Skyscraper”, “Little Pity and Geer”, “She” and other narrative emotional dramas around one or two heroines.
