LAST July, the period costume drama The Longest Day in Chang’an was aired in many Asian countries such as Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, and Vietnam. It also appeared in the form of paid content on international video websites like Viki, Amazon, and YouTube. The play was not only appreciated by Chinese audiences, the appealing ancient charm of the Tang Dynasty also attracted many overseas audiences, causing a substantial increment in consumption of Chinese TV dramas in foreign countries.
