It's almost the annual Spring Festival holiday, and I can't help but think back to the Spring Festival in 1994, when CCTV broadcast the Taiwanese TV series "Spring to Spring and Back", starring Ma Jingtao, Liu Songren, Xia Wenxi, Li Liqun, etc., and broadcast several episodes a day.
At that time, many Taiwan dramas were about stories that happened in the mainland, such as "Spring to Spring and Back", coupled with well-made and fascinating plots, it was easy to resonate with mainland audiences, and "Spring to Spring and Back" also became the collective memory of the post-80s generation on the mainland, and the song "Huangliang Dream" in the film was popular among the population, which was widely sung in the mainland at that time; even the advertisement of Master Kang's instant noodles interspersed in the middle also left a deep impression.
At that time, although there were not many Taiwanese television stations, they produced many wonderful film and television dramas. Nowadays, there are 200 TV channels on the island, but there are very few that can be seen, and tv dramas are basically dominated by land dramas and Korean dramas, in addition to some local dramas and replays of old Taiwan dramas. During the Spring Festival this year, Weilai YuleTai broadcast the 2011 version of the land drama "Water Margin", 5 episodes per day, and promoted it as the main title, in addition to playing "Yu Chenlong". The movie channel is also dominated by old movies (mostly Hong Kong films).
Thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, now Taiwan's 200 TV channels a year's budget, the sum is probably not as much as the budget of a program of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, compared with the past, it is really impressive.
