Will foreigners watch China's dramas?

Whenever you look for various broadcast platforms, you will see domestic, Japanese, Korean, American and other options in TV dramas. Different audiences have different needs, and these platforms also meet the needs of more people to the greatest extent. Many people will chase American or Korean dramas. Of course, the ratings of domestic TV dramas are also quite good in China. So, do foreigners have so many choices? They will also watch some China movies and TV works. Of course, many foreigners will watch China's movies and TV works, and some more classic works will be spread abroad, but it is not clear how much they can understand.

For China's film and television works, influenced by traditional culture, many plots are designed with some implications, so people who don't know much about China culture will have a gap in viewing effect. Compared with many costume dramas in China, the design of many lines is biased towards the way of speaking at that time, and even if there is translation, it is difficult to express profound meaning.

Like the empresses in the palace? Is this really, really great? No matter how you translate it, you can't convey the exact meaning. In this case, foreigners will have a suspicion when watching the drama, and they will never understand the true meaning of the work. If the translation is forced, the meaning of the work will only be completely distorted. Even so, it does not hinder the enthusiasm of foreigners to see China's works. Although I can't understand it, I will still be attracted by the plot.

Although it won't be as popular as American blockbusters, with the continuous spread of China culture, more and more people hope to learn about China culture through film and television works. Of course, some domestic dramas in China are beyond the comprehension of many foreigners, and even many people say that it is difficult to clarify the basic relationship between the characters. Just like the three wives and four concubines in ancient China, it took many foreigners a long time to understand and accept them.
