American TV plays are declining, while British TV plays are becoming popular.

Performance 1: English dramas are sought after.

Every country has excellent TV series and Lei Ju. Although American TV plays are exquisite, ups and downs, and very human, domestic TV plays are gradually becoming more and more popular. The spy palace fights through ethics, and all bodies have it. You can choose. China audience's vision and taste are global, and China TV imitates and digests quickly. Of course, sometimes it is too fast, and it is inevitable to be copied.

Just as all the dramas are competing for beauty, suddenly a British drama has sprung up, which not only steals the limelight of the eldest American drama, but also makes it difficult for the masters to learn domestic dramas. For example, Downton Abbey, which is popular in English dramas, is a drama in which sisters dress up and fall in love. American TV series Sex and the City, Gossip Girl and Desperate Housewives are all sought after by female audiences. However, in American dramas, the single apartments of young artists, the dormitories of upper-class girls and the suburban villas of the middle class are all eclipsed by the British accents of the nobles on the vast lawn.

This is the style of English drama, a more historical and cultural style and a noble style. But they are still not satisfied with this. With history, they need new trends.

Sherlock subverts the image of Sherlock Holmes as a middle-aged pipe man, and benedict cumberbatch creates a new generation of little brother Sherlock: slim, family-controlled, information-controlled, living with a male girlfriend, and the retro tendency is more realistic, which also drives the sales of English trench coats to rise.

More than that, the first season and three episodes of Black Mirror came out, trying to explore the great relationship between media, information and human nature, which is quite profound and beautiful. TV plays can have such lofty thoughts. In this sense, "Black Mirror" expands the boundaries of technology and thought for this type of TV series and sets a new benchmark.

Performance 2: American TV series remake English TV series has become a trend.

As early as when China netizens turned around American TV series, American audiences had turned their attention to the unique English TV series and enjoyed the "takenism" without hesitation. The American version of The Office, adapted from the British drama series of the same name, has been nominated for the Emmy Award for Best Comedy for five consecutive years, and the leading actor Steve Karel has also been nominated for Best Actor in Comedy for five times. The American version of the remake of the English drama Shameless Man of the same name was also well received. When it started broadcasting last year, it also set a record for the first broadcast of American TV series produced by Showtime Channel.

Although the tradition of remaking popular TV series has a long history, and there are many excellent works of "Shine on You", there are also many inferior shanzhai. The English version of Skin is the most famous lost youth drama in the world, but the remake of 20 1 1 appearing on American MTV has lost all its flavor. The original IT madman is a famous otaku drama. NBC wanted to copy the original, but the first episode suffered from Waterloo, and then it was shelved due to financial problems.

The rise of English drama is not accidental.

Cheats 1: short and pithy, with exquisite content.

What makes English dramas so popular? A search on the internet found that the general answer given by netizens is: short, dangerous and exquisite. In addition, apart from the authentic British accent, these British dramas are similar in that there are not many episodes per season. Downton Abbey 7-8 episodes, Sherlock and Black Mirror 3 episodes.

Netizen He Ying said that English dramas are "made slowly and meticulously", and Xiaomi, a loyal fan of English dramas, also thought: "You don't have to spend a lot of time and energy chasing dramas, and the creators don't have to rack their brains to prolong the plot, add new characters and suspense to create gimmicks, just finish the story. There will be no unfinished phenomenon of American dramas and Korean dramas, ensuring quality and essence. "

Deception 2: British humor highlights literature and art

Talking about the difference between English drama and American drama, people always think that the former is more "literary". As we all know, Britain is the hometown of drama, and the rich and varied literary and dramatic works have cast a gorgeous color on English drama. In the eyes of British drama fans, no matter how many humorous lines there are in American dramas, they can't compare with a Shakespeare classic that the British have at hand. Coupled with a laundry list of Dickens, Jane Austen and Shakespeare, watching English dramas is like reading a long-lost world of English literature.

At the same time, English dramas pay more attention to black humor, cold jokes from plain life are fresh in people's memory, absurd and exaggerated nonsense makes people laugh, and various metaphors are full of irony and casualness in understanding reality.

Deception 3: Insist on originality and pay attention to quality.

When it comes to the popularity of English dramas, critics in Jianghu believe that English dramas attract the attention of domestic audiences on a large scale at the time of the Great Depression. He said, "In the second half of 20 1 1, old brands such as Lost and 24 Hours burned out, and the upstarts of Fire and Ice were not satisfied just after the first season, so the English dramas of Downton Abbey and Black Mirror were hard to catch fire." Jianghu Hai also said: "The English drama insists on originality and the plot is complete. The climax will be over when it is time to end, and there will be no more random fabrication. After watching English dramas, people will feel that there is room for aftertaste and reflection. "
