Why are film and television dramas generally divided into two parts?

The main reason why TV plays in the market are generally divided into two parts is policy. The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) had previously issued some policies on TV dramas, requiring that all TV dramas should not exceed 40 episodes. This is done to prevent the plot of the film and television drama from being too protracted, thus enhancing the audience's viewing experience. Nowadays, there is a lot of water in film and television dramas. Whether it is TV film and television dramas or online dramas, there are generally more than 50 episodes. The plot is not wonderful, but it is boring. In order to reduce this phenomenon, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) has issued a policy to reduce TV dramas, but producers are unwilling to give up relevant interests. In response to the policy, they divided the TV series into two parts, and the plot was still very verbose.

In addition to the influence of policies, the schedules of various actors also need to cooperate with each other, not to say that an actor can only shoot one film and television drama or one movie at a time. There will be scheduling conflicts between actors, and the producers will choose to adapt to the scheduling of actors during the filming process. In order to cooperate with the shooting, they had to cut it in two. Nowadays, novelists don't just sell books to one crew, so this leads to the phenomenon of twins, that is, a book will be made into two parts by two crews, which are different and interrelated. For example, "Zhou Sheng as usual" and "All my life" are very typical successful cases of one book and two shots. The two crews filmed at different times and places, and these differences naturally led to the drama being divided into two parts.

Nowadays, there will be advertisements for a period of time in TV series, and it will take more than a few months to watch the first two TV series. Not only that, many platforms will also carry out bad operations such as VIP member recharge and pre-order, and viewers have to buy platforms for their favorite dramas and stars.

Although the current film and television drama is divided into two parts, it can alleviate the fatigue and hard work of the audience for 70 or 80 episodes of TV dramas, but the time between them will also make it impossible for everyone to connect. Relevant departments should introduce corresponding policies so that the plot of film and television dramas will not drag on, and producers should also improve the quality of film and television dramas.
