Period dramas have always occupied an important place in the television series. Currently, several large-scale period dramas such as "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Wu Cheng'en and Journey to the West" are being filmed in full swing. However, yesterday, a reporter learned from Jilin Satellite TV that they had already received a notice that period dramas would not be allowed to be broadcast after Children's Day. Moreover, this notice was likely sent to all satellite TVs across the country.
Are period dramas about to be taken off the air?
Yesterday, a reporter learned from Jilin Satellite TV that they had already received a notice from the management department. The general content of the notice was that during the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, satellite TVs should mainly broadcast mainstream TV series and not play light-hearted or mixed-up TV series. Among them, period dramas were listed as prohibited for broadcast. Specifically, after Children's Day, satellite TVs would not be allowed to broadcast period dramas, and those currently being broadcast would be required to finish before Children's Day.
