Mainland-Chinese TV-series craft, documents and production chain (国产剧创作体系与制片链) — the China layer parallel to the Japanese and Korean/French skills. Distilled from Yao Kougen 姚扣根《电视剧写作概论》(2016; series taxonomy, four Chinese script formats, the 3-minute/15-minute/episode-end suspense law, 36 situations), Zhang Wei 张巍《电视剧改编教程》(2014; five source types, sell-point migration, six case studies), Zhang Mingzhi & Song Peiyi《电视剧出品人与制片人教程》(2016; running-time rules, two-stage censorship, scene-breakdown sheet, contracts), Zhao Binbin《影视剧片段改编教程》(2016; film to stage fragment), plus official Chinese renderings of US TV terms from the translated Douglas and Blum textbooks. Use when writing or judging a 国产剧, turning a novel or IP into a 30–50 episode drama, writing a 策划书 / 分集梗概 / 人物小传, formatting a Chinese teleplay, sizing episode count and word count, checking content red lines and the 立项/备案/审查 chain, reading a Chinese screenwriter contract, or mapping US series vocabulary onto Chinese usage.
