Why was "Love Apartment 5" refused to be screened by first-line TV?

As the love apartment where countless people grew up, the curtain finally came to an end after the finale of "Love Apartment 5" was broadcast. But "Love Apartment 5" encountered the embarrassment that there was no satellite TV to broadcast it. It makes many people extremely regretful. Let’s talk about why they encounter such embarrassment!

1. Plagiarism controversy.

Many scenes in the "iPartment" series were revealed by netizens to be plagiarized from "Friends", "The Big Bang Theory", "Modern Family", "How I Met Your Mother", "IT Crazy" and many other series For classic American dramas, the key point is that this kind of plagiarism is not a re-creation after learning from it, but a direct copying of English translation into Chinese. Sometimes even the scenes and dialogue remain unchanged.

There was once a joke circulating on the Internet, saying that a podcaster at Station B wanted to plagiarize the iPartment series into a complete series. However, a few years later, this hard-working podcaster even produced the first season. Not finished yet. ?

If it were placed a few years ago, when there were not many fans of American dramas, such plagiarism would give people a certain sense of freshness. But in the era of Love 3, fans of American dramas have spread all over the country, and such plagiarism can no longer be forgiven!

"I have supported you for so long, but you plagiarized me. I dare not take such a risk!"

2. The impact of the romantic version of Tomb Raiders

The big movie "Love Apartment" in 2018 was made into "Tomb Raiders" under the name of "Love Apartment". It can be said that it broke the hearts of countless fans. You must know that many viewers went to the theater with high expectations for "Love Apartment", but were disappointed, which even triggered a wave of retaliatory negative reviews. The Douban score of the big movie "Love Apartment" dropped to 3.1 points.

This approach has disappointed many love fans, and also caused a lot of criticism on the expectations of iPartment. The TV station didn't dare to take such a risk, so no one took the offer.

3. Sitcoms are not the current mainstream film and television dramas.

In the years since iPartment was aired, from "Story of the Cooking Class" to "Family with Children" to "Wulin Gaiden" and finally to "Longmen Escort". Sitcoms at that time were still very popular. Look at today’s “mainstream” TV series.

"Love Jewelry", "Meet You", "Elite Lawyer", "Celebrating More Than Years", "Under the Brocade", "Sword Dynasty", etc... Urban love dramas, workplace dramas, family dramas, and costume dramas are the TV stations The hottest TV series. In other words, those traffic niches and IP scripts are the most popular.

It can be said that there is almost no market for sitcoms. Let’s take a look at what is available in iPartment? I only have feelings, but I ended up being ruined by the movie last year. It is also an IP, but without the fandom culture and scandals, this kind of drama will naturally be temporarily sidelined.

4. The original cast is missing, and iPartment is no longer the same as before

Although some actors in the "iPartment" series have returned to "iPartment 5", "Hu Yifei" Lou Yixiao , "Zhang Wei" Li Jiahang, "Chen Meijia" Li Jinming, "Lu Ziqiao" Sun Yizhou and other actors starred in "Love Apartment 5", but "Zeng Xiaoxian" Chen He, "Lu Zhanbo" Jin Shijia, "Guan Gu Magic" Wang Chuanjun, "Tang Youyou" Several soul figures such as Deng Jiajia are absent, so "Love Apartment 5" cannot be regarded as a sequel to "Love Apartment" in the true sense.

Even Optics Valley Magic even broke up with iPartment. Audiences who have feelings for "iPartment" should not have much interest in watching "iPartment 5" with such an incomplete lineup.

After all, when a good man becomes a friendly star, when Sekiya commits seppuku and commits suicide every minute, and when Youyou, who follows Tang's acting rules, is absent, these souls are absent and cannot let the TV station take this risk.

5. The efficiency of TV stations is not good

With the addition of the self-media industry and the freeing up of the TV station industry, the efficiency of today's TV stations is far less than before. Only Hunan Satellite TV and other TV stations are still strong, and many TV stations are far worse than before. So many times, they don't dare to take risks and can only use some stable TV series to protect their bottom line.

6. Audit issues?

You must know that there are usually two situations when a drama cannot be launched on the satellite TV platform.

One is the issue of review. Some content in the drama is not suitable for the satellite TV platform, so it can only be broadcast on the online platform; the other is the self-selection of the satellite TV platform. The satellite TV platform feels that the drama cannot bring ratings or such. If the show is not exciting enough, it will naturally not be accepted.

You know, "Love Apartment 5" is the final season of "Love Apartment", and many viewers consider this drama to have accompanied them throughout their youth. Therefore, the audience will naturally not let go of the final season, which has helped "iPartment 5" book a large number of viewers in advance. At the same time, iPartment in the first four seasons has always dominated the charts. Even if it experiences plagiarism incidents, it should not be affected by the ratings.

The influence of the online platform is not weaker than that of the satellite TV platform. 2019's "Chen Qing Ling" and "Qing Yu Nian" are the best examples.

The final words:

No matter why "Love Apartment 5" was abandoned by the TV station, it has now come to an end. Be it a lot of plagiarism or a lot of criticism. At least he gave our youth an explanation. The love apartment is over, our youth has come to an end, but our story will still continue! ?
