Passage 2
“CUT!” barks the director, and chaos erupts at a film studio in Los Angeles. Actors rush off to change their costumes, while crew members hurry to arrange new stage items. It is only the second day of filming and they have already packed in a week’s worth of cliffhangers (悬念). Filming a micro-drama, the latest new-media format to emerge from China, is just as fast-paced as watching one. “It’s soaps on steroids (激素),” a screenwriter explains.
Micro-dramas are mini soap operas designed for the smartphone generation. Episodes are filmed in a vertical format and last just over a minute each. The acting tends to be overly dramatic, the storylines often crazy, with titles like “The Ordinary Student’s Sudden Royal Heritage”. But the bite-sized stories are perfect for China’s many young working professionals: long trips to and from work and tiring schedules leave little time for binge-watching box-sets on the sofa.
A single micro-drama can cost over $10 to watch, with the first few episodes free of charge and the rest behind a paywall. Yet viewers have been willing to pay good money for it. This has fueled domestic enthusiasm: larger film companies are stepping in to expand production, while more traditional streaming platforms are setting up their own micro-drama channels.
Now many apps are spreading the love, delivering micro-dramas to new audiences outside China. They don’t just translate Chinese series but also create original content with foreign actors, writers and directors. However, due to cultural differences, overseas actors sometimes struggle to understand why Chinese producers insist on sticking to cheesy tropes (俗气的桥段) and over-the-top acting.
Nevertheless, micro-drama apps have reached a total of nearly 55 million downloads and $170 million in receipts overseas, according to iiMedia Research, a data provider. These vertical shorts don’t seem like a flash in the pan. Sometimes less really is more.
4.What is a feature of micro-dramas’ filming according to the text?
A.It adopts a high-tech style. B.It requires significant funds.
C.It is a highly efficient process. D.It involves numerous instructions.
5.Why are micro-dramas ideal for China’s young workforce?
A.They are insightful to watch. B.They fit well with their busy schedules.
C.They provide free episodes to viewers. D.They mirror the lives of young people.
6.What is the best title for the text?
A.Soap Operas Develop Quickly in Digital Era
B.Chinese Film Industry Sees a New Transformation
C.Micro-Dramas Bring More Opportunities to the World
D.China’s Micro-Dramas Will Enjoy Long-Term Success
