What's the difference between movies and TV plays?

The difference between movies and TV series;

First, they come from different sources. Film originated from photography, and the essence of film is to record the original ecology of life. TV series originated from drama, emphasizing drama and attracting audiences with story conflicts and the joys and sorrows of human destiny.

China's first film: drama art documentary Dingjun Mountain

The first TV series in the world: the British BBC TV series The Woman with Flowers in Her Mouth in 1930s.

China's first TV series: A bite of cake.

Secondly, the competition between the two forms the second reason why film and television art pursues its own artistic characteristics and seeks its own advantages. Because the aesthetic effect of TV plays depends to a great extent on the vivid story laid by the fate of the characters, TV plays pay more attention to narrative, the development of events and the description of the changes of the fate of the characters. Because of this, the "story" told by TV series can attract the audience more. Therefore, the part of the film that won by telling stories was ruthlessly "robbed" by TV dramas. The bulge and impact of TV series forced the film to adjust or change its creative thinking and "find another way". Its foothold is to seek its own advantages, and the display of its own artistic characteristics cannot be separated from the display of its own advantages. Therefore, in the competition with TV series, film art pays more and more attention to the combination of modern high-tech means and real recording methods. I have always believed that this is a background for the emergence of American "blockbusters".
