What are the characteristics of Japanese dramas?

1, stable production

The production system of Japanese dramas, like American dramas and Taiwanese dramas, is broadcast while shooting. However, two or three episodes will be filmed and saved before the official public broadcast, so the plot is relatively stable, and the script is rarely changed at will because of the audience's opinions. Compared with Taiwan Province and South Korea, where actors often have accidents or health risks, Japanese actors have much less risks in this respect. However, because of this production mode, the ratings of Japanese dramas fluctuate higher than that of Taiwan Province.

2, the actor's position

A major feature of Japanese dramas is that they pay more attention to the ranking of actors. Therefore, when Japanese media do propaganda, they usually mark (single) starring or W starring, and the list of actors appearing at the end of Japanese dramas may also mark special performances behind some actors.

In Japanese, "starring" generally refers to the first starring role, that is, the main service, so there is only one starring role in Japanese dramas; And "starring W" refers to a play with two first stars. In fact, the drama starring W accounts for a small proportion in Japanese dramas. The scenes, actor qualifications and so on in the play are not necessarily related to whether it is starring W. Only when officials and relevant media reports quote W as the starring role will the play be starring W. ..

Special performance refers to the special participation of famous actors, or it can be said that actors above the main business level are invited to perform as supporting actors, and the performance cost is usually higher than the general market.

Extended data:

Many focus on describing the workplace ecology of specific occupations, and even tend to be social realism in essence. Like other countries in East Asia, Japanese TV dramas are produced on a small scale, mostly indoor and outdoor small sets and computer synthesis. Japanese dramas have a wide range of topics, including love, medical care, city, police, detective suspense, law, youth campus, politics and family, and quite a few of them discuss outstanding social issues.
