更多《甄嬛传》：“广电21条”能救爱奇艺们吗？

Core Viewpoint - The recent implementation of the "21 Regulations" by the National Radio and Television Administration (NRTA) is expected to significantly benefit the Chinese film and television industry, particularly in the production of historical dramas, which have been a major source of revenue and popularity [2][10][12]. Group 1: Impact of "21 Regulations" - The NRTA has relaxed restrictions on the number of historical dramas, signaling support for market-oriented creation in the industry [2][10]. - The regulations allow for an increase in the maximum number of episodes for dramas, which could lead to the production of higher-quality long dramas [11]. - The introduction of policies such as "border examination and broadcasting" for series and seasonal dramas is expected to shorten content production cycles and align broadcasts with current social sentiments, enhancing capital efficiency for companies like iQIYI [11][12]. Group 2: Industry Response - Following the announcement of the "21 Regulations," many film and television stocks experienced significant gains, indicating a positive market reaction [3]. - Major companies in the industry, such as the Yuewen Group, anticipate launching more film and television projects due to the new regulations [12]. - The regulations are seen as a potential attractor for more investment in the film and television sector, which is currently facing financial challenges [13][14]. Group 3: Current Challenges - The film and television industry is experiencing financial difficulties, with iQIYI reporting an 11% year-on-year revenue decline to 6.628 billion yuan and a net loss of 133.7 million yuan [14]. - Tencent Video also reported a decrease in paid subscribers, losing 3 million to a total of 114 million [15]. - The reduction in content budgets due to financial constraints may lead to fewer high-quality productions, creating a vicious cycle that could further diminish audience engagement [16][17]. Group 4: Future Outlook - While the "21 Regulations" may increase the likelihood of producing popular dramas like "Empresses in the Palace," the actual success will depend on the ability to create high-quality content that meets evolving audience tastes [19]. - The rise of short videos poses additional risks to traditional film and television investments, making the landscape more competitive and uncertain [19].
