4. Hit dramas adapted from Internet "IP"
This year has witnessed a batch of hot domestic TV dramas adapted from online novels, such as "The Legend of Miyue", "Nirvana in Fire", "Journey of Flower", "The Lost Tomb" and others. The traditional TV dramas, web dramas and online videos are colliding and fusing in this new era featuring "IP".
In China's entertainment industry, "IP", intellectual property, largely refers to popular online products such as a novel, game or even a song that can be developed into a potentially successful feature-length film or TV series.
In 2015, "The Journey of Flower", a 58-episode fantasy romance series, adapted from an online novel, was broadcast on iQiyi some 7 billion times.
The first two episodes of the TV drama "The Legend of Miyue" attracted a record high 700 million hits on the web in just 24 hours.
"The Nirvana in Fire" crossed the cultural barriers successfully and became a hit abroad. The drama has been aired in South Korea and was recommended by the convention board of this year's Discop Africa to countries on the continent. Due to its popularity on Youtube, it will also be dubbed into English soon.
