Keywords: Network; Platform; Homemade drama; Film and television DOI: 10.47297/wspciWSP2516-252708.20200409 1. The Rise of Self-made Drama in the Network Video Platform (1) The characteristics of network communication and the platform advantage of mastering the front market data, the network self-made drama has high interaction and market sensitivity. (2) Behind the rise of the network self-made drama is the network video platform that is eager for more control. n the increasingly fierce and cruel competition of “film and television winter”, Ithe network self-made drama makes these online video platforms escape the copyright purchase cost of the sky price, and change from passive content competition to active participation in content production, and become the core of platform differentiation competition.

About the author: Xiaoxia LI (1978-02), female, from Zibo City, Shandong Province, master, lecturer, engaged in computer applications, network big data and artificial intelli- gence. 62 Analysis and Discussion on the Network Self Made Drama under the Network Platform 2. The Rise of Online Live Social Platform has Opened up the Business Space of Video Platform (1) The development of network self-made drama As early as more than ten years ago, the network video platform began to explore the self-made drama. At that time, the network video platform was in the stage of constantly exploring new business. As the downstream broadcasting platform of the film and television industry chain, their eyes naturally “traced” along the industry chain to the field of content production. The proportion of network self-made drama in the market share of network drama presents a “V” shape. At the beginning of the birth of online drama, the main producers of online drama were Sohu, LETV and other online video platforms, so the early online drama was mainly self-made online drama. The situation that online self-made drama is almost equivalent to online drama continued until 2012, when many independent film and television companies such as happy Mahua and Shanghai Xuandong entered the online drama industry. The joining of independent film and television companies makes the online drama burst out more vitality. In the following years, the online dramas produced by independent film and television companies and those produced by video platforms have achieved more results. They go forward hand in hand in the competition and cooperation, and jointly promote the development of online drama. (2) Analysis from quantity and quality Network self-made drama has gradually become the mainstream content production mode. In 2018, iqiyi, Tencent and Youku made their own dramas more than copyright dramas for the first time. In 2019, the total proportion of homemade dramas on the three platforms will reach 65%. In terms of quality, online self-made dramas are constantly producing high-quality and hot works. 3. There is Development in the Stable Market of Network Self-made Drama, Opportunities and Challenges Coexist (1) Continue to add weight, new and old players compete with each other 1) The major platforms continue to expand their investment in homemade dramas, which has become a trend of the whole industry. Chen Xiao, senior vice president of iqiyi, said: since iqiyi put forward the strategy of self-made content in 2014, it has made self-made works for six years, and the number, cost and investment are rising all the way. At present, iqiyi has a total of 18 studio teams, and will continue to increase investment in the future. Tencent is constantly making use of its own advantages to break through the network. Roughly estimated, Youku, iqiyi and Tencent have 28, 58 and 37 dramas 63 Creativity and Innovation Vol.4 No.9 2020 in 2020, of which 14, 39 and 23 are self-made dramas. The proportion of self-made dramas is about 50%, 67% and 62%, all exceeding the proportion of copyright dramas. 2) In addition to aiyouteng, there are mango TV, which is growing rapidly, and station B, which is about to move. Mango TV further expanded its content self-made team and implemented the “chaomang + Meng plan” and “Xinmang s plan” to increase the number of self- made dramas. Among them, “chaomang + Meng program” has worked closely with Director Zhao Wei, Shen Yan and screenwriter Li Xiaoli to produce more high- quality works with mature creators, and also led the growth of young mango team. On October 18, 2020, the 2021 youth new Miscanthus tasting meeting announced that mango TV will develop 60 self-made dramas in 2021. 3) The number of self-made projects changed into production or joint broadcasting system, and some independent broadcasting projects were converted to spell broadcasting. (2) mode innovation, self-made drama drives platform development 1) The output of high-quality self-made drama shows the strong ability of creating original content of the platform, and effectively promotes the growth of revenue of video platform. 2) The mode of “on demand” mainly realized in the self-made drama becomes normal after the turbulence. (3) The quality is improved and recognized at home and abroad 1) The overall quality of homemade dramas launched in 2020 has improved, and a large number of excellent works with good reputation and double harvest have emerged. 2) The mainstream authoritative awards are open to online dramas, which proves the continuous improvement of the quality of online dramas. 3) Going to sea for a long time, the online self-made drama has been affirmed overseas. (4) Prominent brand and theatrical appearance 1) In fact, the two-way branding between content and platform is not the trend until 2020, but the emergence of theater mode makes a breakthrough in the two- way branding trend. 2) Under the strong attraction of iqiyi “fog theater”, all parents’ video platforms have strengthened the construction of their own brand theater. 3) Under the trend of intensive layout of theaters, it reflects the “focus thinking” in the deeper logic. (5) Strict requirements and policies to promote the development of high-quality products With the continuous development and maturity of the network self-made 64 Analysis and Discussion on the Network Self Made Drama under the Network Platform drama, both the relevant government departments and the industry have invested considerable energy in the healthy development and healthy competition of this new format. In 2020, the government has also issued a series of laws and regulations to solve the problems in domestic drama production. In February 2020, the State Administration of radio and television (SARFT) issued the notice on Further Strengthening the creation and production management of teleplays and network dramas. According to the document, when recording the production of film and television drama projects, the production organization must promise to the relevant radio and television authorities that the script creation has been basically completed, at the same time, standardize the length of episodes, advocate no more than 40 episodes, encourage short drama creation within 30 episodes, and do a good job in reporting the proportion of production cost allocation. This has greatly boosted the confidence of the network self-made drama to continue to take the road of “high-quality”, and also indicates that the follow-up “fog theater” and other high-quality short plays will be successful. 4. Prominent Brand and Theatrical Appearance At present, the entertainment demand of Internet users has been continuously transferred to the online, which will drive the utilization rate and user scale of online audio-visual applications to further increase. In early 2020, when the crew stopped working, the cinema closed and the variety stopped recording, China’s online self-made dramas stood up to the pressure, effectively met the needs of people’s cultural and entertainment, and enjoyed a warm new year for the people of the whole country. Policy guidance and platform support, network self-made drama is new in stability. In the benign situation of stable development, it will be developed towards a higher quality and wider stage. Throughout the way, the online self-made drama has been constantly improving quality and increasing, which has effectively met the growing and changing cultural and entertainment needs of the people in the Internet era. In the future, video platforms will continue to improve their comprehensive strength, abide by relevant laws and regulations and industry conventions, stimulate the vitality of talent innovation and present more excellent works to the audience. The online self-made drama will also take more social responsibility, improve its own industrial chain, and become a strong force to spread Chinese excellent culture and tell Chinese stories well. When the network film and television platform ready to be released actively embrace content production, traditional film and television production companies and film platforms will continue to compete to help the long video industry develop and forge ahead. 65 Creativity and Innovation Vol.4 No.9 2020 Works Cited [1] People’s daily.

  • From Western TV Sets to Chinese Online Streaming Services: English-Language TV Series in Mainland China
    . Volume 16, Issue 2 November 2019 From Western TV sets to Chinese online streaming services: English-language TV series in mainland China Xiaoran Zhang, University of Nottingham, UK Abstract: In the age of multiple screens, online streaming has in the 2010s become the most significant way of consuming overseas television programs in Mainland China. Due to rather strict government policy and censorship, foreign television series are presently only legally distributed and circulated on licensed online streaming services. Focusing on the streaming of US/UK TV series, this paper examines online streaming services’ distribution activities in order to understand both streaming websites’ business practices surrounding transnational TV and the features they employ to cater to online audiences for these series. To grasp how the online distribution of English-language TV series operates in China, I begin by looking at China’s five major video streaming services, analyzing the design of their interfaces, scheduling of programs, and accessibility for different tiers of users. I then examine how streaming services use social media as a major tool to promote their US and UK TV series. Through this analysis, I argue that transnational TV flow has had to be localized to achieve distribution and marketing goals in a Chinese context, resulting in the uniqueness of these streaming practices. This article concludes that, with the development of online streaming technologies, distinctive modes of audience consumption in China have informed the localization of this specific transnational TV content. Keywords: Online streaming, streaming consumption, television distribution, transnational TV, Tencent Video, HBO, Game of Thrones Introduction As one of HBO’s most successful high-end shows, Game of Thrones (2011-) has earned a worldwide reputation that includes the fandom of Chinese viewers.

  • How to Boost the Impact of Scientific Conferences
    ABSTRACT We can maximize the impact of scientific conferences by uploading all conference presentations, posters, and abstracts to highly-trafficked public repositories for each content type. Talks can be hosted on sites like YouTube and Youku, posters can be published on Figshare, and papers/abstracts can become Open Access PrePrints. How to boost the impact of scientific conferences. Mike Morrison Kelsey Merlo Zach Woessner Michigan State University University of South Florida Michigan State University [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] (corresponding author) Thanks to the heroic efforts of conference administrators across science, most academic conferences scheduled for 2020 have been at least partially translated into a virtual format. Now, it is time to figure out what role online content should have in the future, and how to maximize its engagement and impact. First, to get in the right mindset, it will help to stop thinking of annual scientific conferences as only updating a subset of attending scientists on what is happening in a field, and start thinking of conferences as being able to update the entire world on what is happening in a field of study — especially all relevant scientists, whether they pay dues for that conference or not. Figure 1 places the “classic 3” scientific conference content types — Presentations, Posters, and Conference abstracts — on a continuum ranging from ‘easy to produce’ to ‘hard to produce’, and from ‘small impact’ (on just a few people) to ‘big impact’ (reaching tens or hundreds of thousands of people). Figure 1. The effort-impact continuum. Most traditional scientific conference content takes a lot of effort to create, and has a relatively small reach and impact (relative to the total population of people potentially interested in it).
