On the subway, by the bus stop and even on the way, we often see people watching micro-dramas on apps like Kuaishou and Douyin． These dramas have been on the rise over the past few years． In 2023, micro-dramas made 37．39 billion yuan, equal to 70 percent of the money made by China’s film industry, reported China Daily on Sept 27．
Chinese micro-dramas are also going strong around the world． Sensor Tower, a US company, said that over 40 apps for watching the dramas have entered the global market． By early 2024, these apps already had around 55 million downloads． One of them, Reel Short, has been downloaded more times than Netflix on the Apple Store in the US, reported Reuters．
International viewers find these micro-dramas exciting to watch, reported Xinhua． The stories are usually fast-paced (快节奏的) and have many surprising turning points． “This keeps people’s attention and makes them fun,” Liu Jinlong, head of the app Short TV, told Xinhua．
