In fact, as early as June 2013, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television issued a "restriction order" on costume TV dramas. Among the "22 new regulations" promulgated at that time to control the chaos of TV dramas, three were related to costume dramas, including "all satellite stations. The total number of episodes of costume dramas broadcast every month during prime time shall not exceed 15% of the total number of episodes of all dramas broadcast during prime time of the month." A netizen named "Satellite TV Peach Blossom Spring" announced that the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television will strengthen the approval of costume idol dramas and Xianxia dramas: "The producers report to the State Administration...

recently, netizens posted that the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television will strengthen the examination and approval of ancient costume idol dramas and fairy tales: "the costume dramas of the General Administration of reporting and filing of products shall not joke about distorting history, and violators will not be tried. Immortals and people can not love each other, can only have sex with people. The so-called hole does not come from the wind, TV series censorship frequent regulation rumors, to a certain extent, reflects the chaos of the industry, and behind this, what kind of expectations does the SARFT have on TV drama regulation and control?

following the revelation of the new rules on TV series censorship, new rumors have emerged about the regulation and control of TV series. Recently, a netizen named "Peach Blossom Garden of Satellite TV" posted that the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television will strengthen the examination and approval of costume idol dramas and fairy knight-errant dramas: "the costume dramas of the General Administration of reporting and filing of products shall not joke and distort history, and violators will not be tried." Immortals and people can not love each other, can only have sex with people. Novel adaptation of TV series up to 60 episodes of ancient costumes, modern up to 45 episodes, violators do not enter satellite TV, only the Internet. At present, # Donggong # has been reduced from 80 episodes to 60 episodes, and # City of Fantasy # replans the script and adjusts the character settings. "

the Weibo triggered a heated debate of speculation immediately after it was posted. However, many people in the industry said they had not heard of the new rule. Although SARFT has a lot of regulations on banning and restricting the production and broadcasting of TV dramas, this time it is likely to be a rumor that SARFT has taken the blame like "banning animal sperm after the founding of the people's Republic of China."

the so-called holes do not come from the wind, and rumors of frequent censorship and regulation of TV dramas reflect the chaos in the industry to a certain extent, and behind this, what kind of expectations does the SARFT have for the regulation and control of TV dramas?

< strong > New rules for TV series censorship: after the examination of the propaganda Department < / strong >

, according to internal sources of the media, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television stipulates that TV dramas broadcast in prime time on satellite TV should be examined by the Provincial Bureau of Radio, Film and Television, then be submitted to the propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee for examination, and finally be examined by the State Administration of Press, publication, Radio, Film and Television.

CCTV TV series need to be submitted to the Literature and Art Bureau of the propaganda Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee for examination, and must submit the play broadcast plan six months in advance and complete the film censorship three months in advance.

this censorship link is mainly aimed at prime-time TV series on satellite TV, and plays broadcast on terrestrial channels and satellite TV stations during non-pornographic periods are not included in the censorship of the propaganda Department. The rule may come into effect in October.

< strong > the impact of the new rules: one show, one star may come in advance < / strong >

the new rules will increase the censorship control of TV dramas, and the censorship and control of online dramas will be stronger than ever before. The original production agency will submit the film to the provincial radio, film and television bureaus for review, and Shangxing will send it to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television to review and issue a broadcast license.

the new regulations will be included in the review process by the propaganda Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, which will be delegated to the propaganda departments of the provincial party committees. It is reported that the provincial propaganda departments are currently organizing groups that specialize in censoring TV dramas, that is, after the provincial bureaus have finished the examination, the propaganda department of the provincial party committee will conduct a retrial, and then submit them to the SARFT for review by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT). This means that the review links will be increased and the review efforts will be intensified.

according to the analysis of insiders, due to the increase in censorship, if the TV series is broadcast on different satellite platforms, there may be multiple plans for the post-review revision of the TV series, which will also promote the end of one show with two stars and the early arrival of one show and one star.

< strong > SARFT strictly controls the number of costume dramas < / strong >

"22 New rules" to a certain extent restrained the atmosphere of costume drama production and content full of strange forces and jokes, but with the passage of time, ancient costume "Divine Drama" and "Lei Opera" have a tendency to rise again. This summer's "A Thousand bones of Flowers" allows the industry to see the great prospect of fairy drama, and perhaps the control of such dramas will be the next step for the General Administration.

< strong > the type of Anti-Japanese War has appeared frequently, but the General Administration still gives priority to encouraging < / strong >

as the 70th anniversary of the victory against fascism and the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War approaches, a large number of anti-Japanese dramas appear on the screen. The 50th anniversary of the founding of the people's Republic of China, the 60th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and the 70th anniversary of the victory of anti-fascism. Almost every year, there are a large number of commemorative activities of the Anti-Japanese War, the founding of the people's Republic of China, the founding of the Party and the founding of the army, and television stations will broadcast a large number of TV dramas with the main theme. The drama of the Anti-Japanese War is the one that meets the needs of both commerciality and theme.

Hunan TV broadcasts the espionage drama "camouflage". Beijing TV broadcasts "left hand split knife", Zhejiang TV broadcasts "Iron Burning", Jiangsu TV broadcasts "graduation Song", Shandong TV broadcasts "Red Sorghum". All are works with a combination of theme and ratings.

Anti-Japanese War dramas are absolutely politically correct TV dramas, which must be advocated and encouraged by the General Administration, and even give special support at a special time. At the same time, from a market-oriented point of view, leaders do not insist on historical details like experts or the media, but encourage a certain degree of romantic imagination. For example, the director of the CCTV TV drama center once asked for mercy in the fight against war dramas at the seminar.

< strong > the anti-corruption theme "breaking the ban", not less than four < / strong >

this year, "Captain of the Criminal Police" and "Houhai is not the Sea" and other dramas successively "broke the ban", making it a fact that the TV series involved in the case have returned to the prime screen. The heating up of the anti-corruption theme on the screen is undoubtedly eye-catching, first, because anti-corruption has become a hot topic in the hearts and minds of the party and the people, and the central government's anti-corruption efforts are strong and resolute.

first three anti-corruption sketches at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala aroused enthusiastic responses, followed by the release and praise of the anti-corruption film "Huang Kegong case" and the anti-corruption drama "Man in the Mirror". Recently, the large-scale anti-corruption TV series "hitting the Tiger up the Mountain" opened again in Xi'an, pointing directly at the "Big Tiger" hidden behind layers of fog.

the three anti-corruption skits and crosstalk that appeared on the stage at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala this year are anti-corruption materials provided by leading cadres of the discipline Inspection Commission, and this time, the creation of anti-corruption films and TV dramas has also been strongly supported by the Central Commission for discipline Inspection and has a strong realistic concern. Li Jingsheng, director of the TV series management department of the State Administration of Press, publication, Radio, Film and Television, said: "our task is to make at least one or two films and at least two or three TV dramas a year, and they must be high-quality works. There must be today's characteristics of the times and current, immediate, and realistic characters and events.

< strong > the regulation and control of TV dramas is actually a preparation in advance < / strong >

when collating the chart of the relationship between the banned list of the General Administration and the ratings, we will find that most of the programs that are banned as thunder dramas are plays with high ratings. There is a saying on the Internet that "SARFT will restrict whatever types of programs or TV dramas are popular." in fact, what is popular in radio and television is to avoid the blindness of the market, because the market has spontaneity, blindness, lag and other shortcomings. relying entirely on market regulation is not in line with objective facts, so macro-control is needed. Specifically, the film and television industry needs the regulation of "what is popular and what is restricted". Only in this way can each type of theme have a longer life cycle. Take the recent "Flower Thousand bones" popular fairy drama as an example. If everyone swarms up, the theme will be exhausted in less than two or three years. The life cycle of many types of TV dramas is only two or three years. With the restriction of radio and television, the supply is reduced, and the life cycle can reach more than ten years.

the decline of Taiwan's variety arts is an example of the lack of policy regulation. At first, Taiwan's variety shows were only broadcast by three major public stations. Later, as soon as the TV stations took pictures, more than 100 stations were opened, resources were dispersed, and the supply increased. Taiwan variety shows soon came to an end in its life cycle. From this point of view, SARFT's regulation and control of TV dramas is actually planned in advance, and it will be too late to follow the trend and vicious competition.

< strong > conclusion: < / strong > although the General Administration is the government department with the worst reputation in the media circle, in the process of various types of "divine drama" being demonized, in the state of mass attack by experts and the media, the General Administration has to be often regarded as "dereliction of duty" and plays the role of "mending after the sheep is lost". However, the General Administration is not the most conservative, outdated and old-fashioned government department. It plays an irreplaceable role in the political propaganda, value transmission, type regulation and industrial development of Chinese television and TV dramas.
