Chinese short video platforms are banking on the fast-growing mini drama series segment as tech-savvy youth spend more time watching online short videos during the COVID-19 pandemic and exhibit heightened demand for high-quality original content, industry experts said.
Short video app Tencent Weishi announced it will invest 1 billion yuan ($150 million) to support the development of new mini drama series this year, with each episode lasting from one to three minutes.
Li La, deputy general manager of Tencent's short video community, said the Shenzhen, Guangdong province-based firm will focus on the mini drama segment and expand its presence along the entire industry chain in a bid to provide users with high-quality content and speed up monetization efforts.
"The main viewers of mini drama series are younger viewers coming from first-to third-tier cities.
Female viewers tend to watch dramas while males prefer more suspense," Li said, adding that she is bullish on prospects for the mini drama series market.
Mini drama Tonglingfei, which was coproduced by Weishi and Tencent Animation and Comics, ranked among the top 10 internet dramas in 2019 with 369 million views.
Consumption habits of users are changing and mini drama series will witness explosive growth, Li said.

"I'm really interested in such a new theme, which allows me to build brand-new characters and innovation in the way to build up scenes in the drama.
