　　In the film and television works launched by China in the past year, criminal investigation dramas are like the emergence of a dark horse. This represents not only drawing a clear watershed in viewership groups, subject matter selection and shooting technology. And this watershed starts with the multiple restrictions issued by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and the booming online audio and video platforms.

　The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television will put forward some regulations on the dramas and variety shows played in China due to the overheating development of the subject matter. Because too many immortal fantasy dramas were aired in 2015, in order to make the creative ideas more rigorous and to give the people a sense of reality, it was announced in March this year that realistic themes need to exceed 50% of TV dramas. Because the TV station has restrictions such as "one drama and two stars", many drama productions have begun to move towards online audio and video platforms, and many online dramas and online self-made dramas have emerged. The difference between online dramas and online self-produced dramas is that the former is that they are broadcast only through the Internet, and the producers are not limited to online platforms; but as more and more people's online adhesion increases, online platforms have become the main channel for the new generation of audiences to watch drama entertainment. In addition, the platform is willing to spend money to shoot to form online self-produced dramas, deeply strengthening its content, and at the same time shaping its exclusive brand image.

　　The impression of drama production on online platforms has also changed from a newcomer, low-cost, and experimental nature to a dramatic work that is no different from the traditional drama production methods. In terms of cost, the 12 episodes of "The Grave Robbers" cost NT$300 million in 2015 to NT$840 million this year, which can be said to be an unimaginable situation in the past. Let’s look at “Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace” starring Huo Jianhua and Zhou Xun. It is a bit of a slight magnificent work that produces 90 episodes for NT$5 billion. Regardless of the high cost of self-producing dramas, it has become a capital game, but we have to see that the main reason for the mainland drama is that the audience group is large enough.

　　 ratings finally took shape, realistic themes and reasoning IP became popular

　　The audience's tastes are getting bigger and bigger, making the drama that was considered Mary Sue in the past unable to attract the audience's attention. Online dramas began to focus on selecting IP works with logical reasoning capabilities, such as "Forensic Qin Ming" which remakes Qin Ming's work "The Eleventh Finger" a while ago, "If Snail Have Love" and "Beauty Formal" adapted from Ding Mo's trilogy were released on online platforms such as Sohu, iQiyi and Tencent at the same time. However, with ready-made stories as the main material, the premise for cooking a good dish still requires three parties to cooperate with the screenwriter, director and actor.

　　"Forensic Qin Ming" can be said to be one of the works with the largest adaptation in the IP drama. Because the original novel is almost like a forensic doctor's account, the screenwriter discussed with Qin Ming many times and transferred Dabao, played by Jiao Junyan, to make her interested in solving the case. Qin Ming, played by Zhang Ruoyun, was criticized for being too handsome and could break the show, giving him a clean personality, and the scene of dissecting crayfish with a scalpel, making the plot less serious and becoming a work of a small soldier who made great contributions.

　　 "Pay attention to details" and "conscience production" must be youthful!

　　Ding Mo's works were unexpectedly launched at the same time and were also produced by two different production teams. "If Snails Have Love" was created by the production team of "Noon Sunshine" of "Langya Bang" and "Ode to Joy", which has been guaranteed recently, and set the highest score for the dramatic film of Ding Mo's trilogy on Douban. In addition to pulling the scene to Myanmar to shoot an unforgettable prelude, editing and shooting, with a total of 21 episodes per episode in half an hour, compared to many dragging plots, the compact rhythm and the performance of the actors above expectations make it impressive. "Beauty is the Filled" is currently serving as the producer and screenwriter, and has adjusted the proportion of the original suspense criminal investigation into a modern romance drama that focuses on sweet pets. In terms of marketing methods, it has been renovated and adopted the seasonal broadcast method and broadcasted in three seasons. While constantly creating topics to maintain popularity, it is also because it is very different from the original style. Compared with the two, it is at a disadvantage because it is not brain-burning enough.

　　Although this, as the main paid group of the main online platforms, China Xinchuan Think Tank has concluded through big data analysis that the audience of online dramas is mainly about women with college degree or above and aged 15-30. Their keywords are "focus on details", "conscience production" and "youth idol dramas". It also found that women over 35 prefer horror films, and criminal investigation dramas with love elements have become popular first choices. Sure enough, in 2017, there have been many criminal investigation dramas waiting to start filming sequels.

　In 2014, known as the first year of Chinese online dramas, the proportion of suspense thrillers was less than 1%, with nearly 20% in 2016, and there were also funny dramas ranging from 35% to less than 10% this year. There are three types of drama classification that are the most difficult to shoot: criminal investigation dramas, legal dramas and medical dramas, because in addition to requiring a lot of professional knowledge to pave the story, these professional dramas also require professional props and actors to perform in order to be complete. In these works, how to make professional dramas not only fall in love, but also present professional texture has become the main highlight. This is also the most obvious sign that Chinese drama has begun to become more refined recently.
