In recent years, many people have been worried about the export of culture.
Many young people are obsessed with American dramas, Korean dramas or Japanese dramas, but they scoff at domestic dramas, feeling old-fashioned and cheesy, and have a tendency to "forget their roots".
In fact, there is no need to be so pessimistic, excellent domestic dramas also have a large number of fans abroad, and can even achieve phenomenal results.
Today we will talk about 10 domestic dramas that are favored by foreigners.
In recent years, if a Chinese woman walks to an African wet market, many locals will affectionately shout "mama doudou!".”。
It's all because of "The Belle Epoque of the Daughter-in-law", "mama" is the African term for women, and "doudou" is the female number one edamame.
In 2009, "The Beautiful Times of Daughter-in-law" was launched, and the short and down-to-earth story of the parents quickly resonated.
At that time, it happened that Beijing StarTimes Group was carrying out TV business in Africa, so it selected this drama as the first batch of translated dramas to be introduced to Africa, but I didn't expect it to become popular immediately.
Many young viewers were even surprised: I thought that there was only a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problem in Africa, but I didn't expect China to be the same.
After "Daughter-in-law" became popular in Africa, the local demand for Chinese dramas increased day by day, and in order to watch the drama quickly, many dubbing competitions were even held, and the voice actors were as popular as stars.
China did not disappoint them, and has exported many excellent works, and even "Bear Infested" has been moved to African television.
In 2019, the Arab version of "Daughter-in-law" was broadcast in Iraq and became popular again.
I have to say that life has borders, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law knows no borders.
The 86 version of "Journey to the West" is the first of the four famous novels to be put on the screen, and it caused a huge sensation as soon as it was broadcast, not only quickly becoming popular in Southeast Asian countries, but also very popular overseas.
For example, Zhu Longguang, who played the role of "Rulai", has accepted invitations and visits from more than a dozen countries.
Ma Dehua, who played "Zhu Bajie", later traveled to the United States, and saw a video rental point, and there was a ** of their four masters and apprentices hanging at the door, Ma Dehua asked if he could buy the video, and the other party said that it had been sold out a long time ago, and he didn't tear off the advertisement because he liked it too much.
You may think that this is because of overseas Chinese, but in fact, foreigners really like "Journey to the West".
As early as 1942, the British sinologist Arthur Waley published Monkeys: Chinese Folk Tales, which mainly tells the story of the Monkey King. Later, in 1982, the British sinologist Jenner retranslated "Journey to the West", which sold well in the United States.
In addition, the American film and television industry also has a soft spot for "Journey to the West".
Not only has it been put on the stage of ** dramas and children's dramas many times, but also the movie "The King of Kung Fu" was filmed in 08, and it was adapted into the American drama "Wasteland" in 15 years, starring Wu Yanzu.
Although due to cultural differences, the appearance of the adaptation is completely unbelievable, but at least we exported the classic IP of Monkey King, showing our magnificent imagination to foreigners.
Britain and the United States prefer "Journey to the West", while the Japanese are obsessed with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
As soon as the 94 version of "Three Kingdoms" was filmed, Japan's NHK TV came to buy the copyright. CCTV deliberately opened his mouth, **10,000 US dollars per episode, I thought that the other party was going to change the price, but I didn't expect the Japanese to have a penny, so they immediately agreed, which made CCTV regret it and reported less.
After "Three Kingdoms" was introduced to Japan, it immediately caused a grand occasion of thousands of empty alleys, and was rated by netizens as "the best Taiga drama (historical drama)".
How obsessed are the Japanese with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?They wrote a book that goes behind the scenes and the storyline in every detail.
In the form of a newspaper, this book shows the turbulent history from the Yellow Turban Uprising to the Return of the Three Kingdoms year by year, and the avatars and scenes in the play are all from the 94 edition of "Three Kingdoms".
In order to appear more realistic, there were even advertisements such as Zhang Jiao buying medicine and Pound opening a make-up Xi class. I have to say that the Japanese are really attentive.
It's just that the poster of Diao Chan seems to be a bit of a bad painting style.
"Yongzheng Dynasty", released in 1999, can be described as the ceiling of historical conspiracy dramas.
First of all, it became popular all over the mainland, CCTV sold 100 million sky-high advertising fees, and some rural areas even bought TV series in order to watch this drama.
After that, it became popular in Taiwan, and many people even wrote letters to relatives and friends.
Then it became popular all over Japan, and the struggle between the princes in the play opened the audience's eyes, and the admired five-body cast on the ground, which was so obsessed that it couldn't do it.
Some people refer to the author of the original ** Februaryhe as "the Chinese version of Sima Ryotaro";Someone carefully made a handbook and made a task relationship table for the whole play;Some people even suggested that politicians learn more from Xi Yongzheng and work more for the welfare of the people.
Yongzheng Dynasty also has a lot of fans overseas, and is regarded as a bible by foreigners to learn Xi Chinese history, as well as Chinese officialdom culture.
After Yongzheng Dynasty", the most successful conspiracy drama is "Langya Bang", which also became popular in Japan, almost to the point that both men and women can eat it.
It was first broadcast on BS TV in Japan, and the advertising slogan was "a fierce court revenge drama launched by a genius who surpasses 'Zhuge Kongming'".
Zhuge Kongming + revenge quickly attracted a large number of male audiences, and then driven by them, many middle-aged and elderly women also began to chase dramas.
Many people said that this is the best TV series of the year, although it is 54 episodes long, but it is reluctant to waste a second.
Some people also said that they were originally fans of Sister Dong, and later liked Commander Meng the most.
Because it was so popular, it once sparked a craze for collecting. In Japan, most of them are in the form of rentals, and many people like it too much, so they directly buy the DVD of "Langya Bang", which costs almost 50,000 yen (equivalent to more than 3,000 yuan).
In addition, this drama also made Hu Ge's popularity soar in Japan. After "Langya Bang" became popular, some people turned up the news that he was injured in a car accident before, and felt that he was particularly brave and hard-working, and was respected and loved by many people.
Speaking of palace fighting dramas, the popularity of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is also very high.
initially became popular in South Korea, and many popular actresses became fans, and then became popular in Japan.
"The Legend of Zhen Huan" has an audience of nearly 40 million in Japan, which is a super hit for Japan, which has a total population of only more than 100 million.
The gorgeous modeling, superb acting skills, and wonderful plots all made the Japanese audience crazy, and they became the focus of major forums just after the release, and they were constantly hotly discussed.
In fact, the Japanese are most familiar with the Three Kingdoms period, and they don't know about other dynasties, so they are particularly interested.
"The Legend of Zhen Huan" is also very popular in the United States, and he deliberately bought the copyright and cut it into 6 episodes, each episode is 90 minutes. Although the storyline is a lot more compact, there are too many cuts, many details cannot be developed, and the excitement is greatly reduced, but foreigners watch it with relish.
"Huanzhu Gege" was an out-and-out hit back then, and it was popular all over Southeast Asia, and even in neighboring countries, such as Mongolia and Russia.
Because the Vietnamese like it too much, they also remake a version, but unfortunately the shape is too thunderous, and the classic is a spoof.
The highest ratings are in South Korea, although the broadcast time is 11 o'clock in the evening, a proper garbage time, but it still defeated the ** hot drama and became the king of ratings that year.
This drama is so popular in South Korea that it has almost become a crushing trend, and no one can compete with it, and finally forced the three major Korean TV stations to implement the "Chinese TV Drama ** Order" to protect local TV dramas.
A few years ago, the import of Korean celebrities was too hot, and China also implemented a Korean restriction order, many people still don't understand, in fact, South Korea has done it a long time ago.
After that, South Korean TV also contacted Qiong Yao and wanted to buy the copyright to remake, but Qiong Yao never agreed, because she was worried that the filming would be too bad and smashed the signboard.
Meteor Garden is an adaptation of the Japanese manga "Boys Over Flowers", which was broadcast in 2001 and was attended throughout Asia.
First set a ratings record in the Philippines, which was sought after by the whole people, and later Yan Chengxu went to the Philippines to shoot an advertisement, and was also received by ** with royal etiquette, which is quite stylish.
After that, it became popular in South Korea and Japan, and in just one week after the broadcast, it attracted 200,000 Korean fans and asked the TV station to rebroadcast it again.
At the same time, it is also the highest-rated drama since Indonesia's own TV station. Later, Indonesia** also publicly appealed, hoping that F4 would come over to hold a concert to save the local economy.
In addition, it is also extremely popular in Singapore and Thailand, which has led to a wave of XiChinese learning, and it is said that the local Chinese training courses were once booming.
A few years later, South Korea, Japan, and Chinese mainland all began to remake, and each time there was a lot of popularity, but in terms of popularity, it was far less than the first version.
China is very good at exporting costume dramas, and there is generally little market for urban dramas, but "Snail House" is an alternative.
In 2009, "Snail House" was released in the mainland because it was small.
3. Realistic topics such as house slavery and anti-corruption quickly aroused heated discussions, and also attracted the attention of Southeast Asian countries.
Among them, Japan has the greatest response. Many Japanese netizens are puzzled after reading it, why do Chinese like to buy houses so much?
For this reason, the Japanese also wrote an article "Won't renting a house be happy?".Eighty percent of Chinese think that happiness = having a house", let everyone discuss "the relationship between happiness and house".
Many people expressed their opposition, thinking that in order to invest in buying a house, once the real estate bubble bursts, they will eventually go bankrupt, and they are a tragic example.
This topic is inconvenient to expand, but because of a TV series, it is still very meaningful for the public to think about real problems. From this point of view, "Snail House" has been very successful.
As the originator of "Qing Piercing Drama", "Step by Step Shocking" is not only popular in China, but also has super popularity abroad.
After the broadcast was launched in 2011, it first became popular in South Korea, Wu Qilong won the Internet Popularity Award in Seoul, and South Korea is also preparing to remake it.
After that, it was introduced to Japan and renamed "Court Lady Ruoxi", which won the unanimous love of Japanese mother San. Many people felt that Ruoxi gave them strength, and at the same time, they were fascinated by several handsome princes, and even dreamed of dancing with them.
The success of this drama also laid a solid foundation for the popularity of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" (Japanese translation of "The Palace Heroine").
Step by Step is also very popular in Thailand, and many stores are selling hand-painted T-shirts of Step by Step, which is very popular.
In addition, it has also been rated as the second most suitable TV series for learning Mandarin, and its popularity is quite high.
