Ask a weak question, why, it takes a week or more to update an episode of American TV series, and it's so helpless to wait.

There are several reasons for this model.

1。 Payment problem

Most of the scripts of American TV dramas are written after reading an outline, and the producers will make a decision when they think it is feasible. The investment will be adjusted according to the ratings, and the scripts are not necessarily written by the original author, nor are they all shot by a director. It is normal for an American drama to have a long list of directors and scripts. They are all paid by the episode, which is different from what we signed here according to a TV series.

2。 Audience rating problem

Because American TV shows adopt this system and pay attention to ratings. If a play doesn't reach the expected ratings, the TV station will cut it. Therefore, American dramas are often beautifully produced, and you don't want to shoot them because they are not good. Unlike China, you can watch more than 20 episodes and more than 30 episodes first, no matter whether they look good or not. Anyway, I will release them. This mode will put pressure on American TV dramas in script creation and actor performance, and urge them to make good dramas.

At first, Hong Kong imitated the mode of shooting and broadcasting American TV series. Although it was well-made, the production cost increased. At the same time, the pressure on studios and producers almost collapsed. In order to relieve the pressure, the TV station selected some excellent scripts and filmed a whole series, which was broadcast in the form of one episode a day. This mode stems from the trust in excellent scripts and producers, and it is conceivable that this mode is better in attracting customers' advertising investment. In this tiny place of Hong Kong, Shaw Studios, which can be filmed seriously, is relatively formal, and there are not many film and television practitioners, so the whole drama mode is superior, so it has been used ever since.

In fact, Chinese mainland has a vast territory and a large population, so it is better to imitate the American drama model, but now many TV dramas in Chinese mainland are shoddy. What kind of drama can you shoot with just a few second-rate stars? Turn on the TV. Police gangster movies are very popular this month, and every station is showing police gangster movies. Next month, commercial war films have high ratings, so they are all filmed, which is very unfavorable to the diversification of the market. Of course, everyone knows that. Therefore, there are few refreshing works in China TV series like American TV series.
