In this fast-paced era, micro-short dramas are like a cup of instant coffee, which quickly awakens the entertainment nerves of the public. Wealthy grievances, domineering presidents, counterattack legends...These plots, which are full of "Chinese flavor", have not only set off a craze in China, but even crossed the ocean and become popular abroad. But behind this craze, we can't help but ask: is this cultural phenomenon progress or regression?
Hengdian, the former film and television production base, seems to have a stronger position because of the popularity of micro-short dramas. But is this kind of cool pursuit really the cultural output we are looking forward to?The short time and quick reversal of the short drama do make it easy and enjoyable to watch, but when the noise and commotion dissipates, all we get is a sense of emptiness. This kind of fast-food cultural consumption is quietly weakening our ability to immerse ourselves in long-form, in-depth content.
Behind the popularity of micro-short dramas is the game of traffic and money. The producer carefully calculated, and the audience, driven by traffic, became the chess pieces of this game. This phenomenon not only reflects the producer's desire for money, but also reflects the general public's choice of a temporary escape in the face of life pressure.
We do not deny that micro-short dramas, as a form of entertainment, do bring joy and relaxation to people. However, we also need to be wary of whether this fast-food cultural consumption will make us lose the pursuit of depth and qualityWill it make our culture tend to be mediocre and vulgar?
Cultural diversity and richness are worth advocating, but while pursuing diversity, we should also think about how to enhance the connotation and depth of culture. Let's enjoy the joy of micro-short dramas while not forgetting to cultivate our ability to immerse ourselves in deeper cultural works. Only in this way can our culture truly prosper and develop and occupy a place on the world cultural stage.
Let's look forward to more works in the future, which can not only make people relax quickly, but also make people think deeply, and truly achieve the perfect combination of entertainment and thinking. This kind of cultural ecology is what we expect.
