B[The "Measures for the Development and Management of Micro-Short Dramas" will be officially implemented today] The "Measures for the Development and Management of Micro-Short Dramas" recently announced by the State Administration of Radio and Television will be officially implemented today (September 1). This is China's first special departmental regulation for the field of micro-short dramas, and its legal effect is higher than previous normative documents such as industry guidelines. The core of the "Measures" establishes a classification and grading management mechanism. Based on the investment amount and subject matter attributes, micro-short dramas are divided into three levels: Category One, Category Two, and Category Three, corresponding to different filing and review requirements. The classification standards are formulated by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and are dynamically adjusted in a timely manner based on the actual development of the industry. Industry experts said that this classification supervision idea means that micro-short dramas of different sizes and themes will face different levels of review standards, and micro-short dramas with high investment and special themes will be subject to more stringent approval processes. Under the framework of classified management, the "Measures" further clearly delineates the content specifications and main responsibilities of the entire chain to solidify the bottom line of industry compliance. In addition, the "Measures" stipulate that for micro-short dramas generated and produced using artificial intelligence technology, the production institutions and broadcasting units shall abide by relevant national regulations and add reminder signs in prominent locations in each episode in accordance with relevant regulations. This not only protects the audience’s right to know, but also provides standardized guidance for AI content creation.
