It has been 10 years since the "Dragon Travels the World" series of TV series first aired, but it has not been able to give us an ending so far, Sima Yulong has not found the empress, and Shanshan has not yet become the queen. From time to time on the Internet, there is also the news that "Dragon Tour World 4" is going to be broadcast, and even the name is there, such as "Dragon Rule the World", "Dragon In the World", "Dragon Full of The World", etc., which shows how much netizens are looking forward to the sequel of "Dragon Tour World", but in the end, it was confirmed that all the news about "Dragon Tour World 4" to start filming is a rumor. It also disappointed netizens.
So why is there no sequel after Part 3 of Dragon Quest? There are also many claims on the Internet, one is that it is because there is no investment and insufficient funds. First, it was because the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television issued a notice that "TV series are not allowed to shoot sequels indefinitely", so "Dragon Tour the World" was not filmed again.
No matter what the reason was at the time, Xiaobian thought that "Dragon Tour the World" could not go back. There are mainly the following (personally) reasons.
1. This drama has passed nearly a decade, the heat is long gone, and the ratings may not be raised after the sequel.
2. Even if the heat is still there, then the result of the re-shooting may be very unsatisfactory, the classic has been achieved, after many years, the effect of re-shooting is difficult to satisfy.
3. The lead actor no longer has the feeling of the time. Now that many years have passed, whether it is the figure or the appearance, it is incomparable with that time, so it is difficult to restore the image created before.
4. There is no guarantee that the original class will return, just like "Love Apartment", there are not many real original team members. In any case, there will be a few who will not be willing to continue to shoot the classic anyway.
