Track development: digging deep into women’s power and continuing science fiction exploration
With the development of the feminist wave, feminist-themed works have shown strong vitality in "her era".
Since "Ode to Joy" opened a new chapter in feminist-themed dramas, "Thirty" and "I’m fine in a foreign country" have successively shown the style of female power from different aspects, and have established the indispensable position of female themes in the realist track. Until now, such themes are still the focus of the platform’s efforts.
The film list also covers a number of feminist works: including "Good Things Come Together", which tells the story of stay-at-home mothers returning to the workplace and working tirelessly for the first time as the female lead of the series; "Her and Her Islands", a female emotional drama that shows three generations of women’s marriages; "My Battle with Marriage", which tells the battle between married couples, and "Small Days", which explores the topic of marriage in the post-one-child era.
At a time when the anxiety of marriage and childbirth is quite controversial, the topic of marriage has become one of the core concerns of feminist themes.
In addition, there are also starring roles such as "Rose Story" that focus on the workplace and emotional experiences of elite women.
How to dig deep into women’s power and win audience resonance is undoubtedly the key to the platform’s "problem-solving".
