“广电21条”松绑集数、古装剧等限制，影视股批量涨停

Core Viewpoint - The recent surge in the film and television sector is closely linked to the "21 Measures" issued by the National Radio and Television Administration, which aims to revitalize the industry by addressing key pain points such as the cap on episode counts and restrictions on seasonal broadcasts [1][3][6]. Industry Impact - The "21 Measures" include lifting the 40-episode cap, removing the one-year interval requirement for seasonal dramas, and relaxing the broadcasting ratio for historical dramas, which are expected to significantly benefit long-form drama production companies [8][10]. - The measures have been described as a "timely rain" for the industry, which has faced challenges such as tightened procurement by platforms and a decline in both production and viewership [3][6][11]. Market Response - On August 18, the cultural media index rose by 3.11%, with net inflows exceeding 10.257 billion, indicating strong market confidence in the sector following the announcement of the "21 Measures" [4][6]. - Major companies such as Huazhi Shumedia, Huace Film & TV, and Ciweng Media saw their stock prices hit the daily limit, reflecting investor optimism [4][6]. Production Trends - The industry has been experiencing a decline in production, with the number of dramas receiving distribution licenses dropping from 429 in 2014 to just 115 in 2024, a staggering 73% decrease [6][11]. - The rise of micro-dramas has further squeezed the space for long-form dramas, with micro-drama users reaching 662 million in 2024, growing at a rate of 14.8% [7][11]. Future Outlook - The "21 Measures" are expected to stimulate both supply and demand in the market, allowing for more creative freedom and a broader selection for consumers, which could lead to a revival of the long-form drama market [6][10]. - Industry insiders anticipate that the measures will encourage the production of high-quality content and attract capital back into the long-form drama sector, which has been neglected in favor of shorter formats [10][11].
