近日，中國國家廣播電視總局（簡稱廣電總局）宣布正在制訂《微短劇管理辦法》，以規範並推動微短劇的健康發展。這項舉措的出發點，是針對近年網路上充斥的大量「離譜劇情」與「畸形愛情觀」的微短劇現象，例如《霸道總裁愛上停經的我》、《霸道總裁愛上得到梅毒的我》等等。這類作品因誇張、低俗、脫離現實，正引發嚴重的社會與心理問題。

微短劇原本是以「短小精悍、節奏明快」為特色的新興網路影視形式，特別受到年輕族群與手機用戶的喜愛。然而，隨著市場迅速擴張與監管空白，不少製作方開始以「流量」為唯一目標，為了吸引眼球而編造出極端離奇的情節：例如年過半百的女性被總裁瘋狂追求、身患重病卻被拯救成為豪門貴婦，甚至有劇情以疾病、亂倫、復仇為賣點。這些內容雖然在短期內獲得大量點擊與打賞，但卻嚴重扭曲了部分觀眾的價值觀與現實判斷。

廣電總局表示，近期已對部分「違背社會公序良俗」的短劇平台展開調查與清理，並計畫透過《微短劇管理辦法》明確規定：製作與發行單位必須經過備案與審核；內容不得涉及低俗、獵奇、歧視、造神式偶像崇拜；不得鼓吹違背現實與倫理的婚戀價值觀。

在社會層面上，這類劇集的負面影響已逐漸顯現。根據多地媒體報導，一些女性觀眾長期沉迷於「霸道總裁愛上我」的幻想，開始對現實婚姻不滿，甚至提出離婚，認為自己也能遇見「完美的富豪愛人」。更有極端案例中，女子因看劇過度入戲，模仿劇情情節，主動砸壞高價車輛，希望藉此與車主「上演偶像劇般的邂逅」，最終卻面臨高額賠償與法律責任。

學者指出，這些短劇的流行，本質上反映出部分人群在現實生活中對愛情與階層流動的焦慮。微短劇以極度戲劇化的手法，滿足某些人的心理慰藉與「逆襲夢」，但這種虛幻的情感代入一旦失控，會讓人遠離現實、失去理智。

因此，官方此次的監管行動，不僅是對內容市場的整頓，更是一次文化層面的「價值矯正」。廣電總局強調，未來的微短劇應回歸現實主義，鼓勵展現真實人生與正面情感，讓這一新興影視形式真正成為弘揚社會正能量的載體，而非製造幻想與混亂的工具。

Recently, China’s National Radio and Television Administration (NRTA) announced that it is drafting new regulations titled the “Micro-Drama Management Measures” to better supervise and guide the healthy development of short-form dramas, also known as micro-dramas. This move comes in response to the growing number of absurd and unrealistic online short dramas such as “The Overbearing CEO Fell in Love with Me After Menopause” and “The Overbearing CEO Fell in Love with Me After I Got Syphilis.” These productions, filled with sensationalized and detached-from-reality storylines, have led to a wave of social and psychological issues across the country.

Originally, micro-dramas were designed to be concise, fast-paced, and easily consumable entertainment formats optimized for mobile viewing. However, as the market rapidly expanded without proper oversight, many producers began prioritizing “clicks” and “traffic” over substance. To attract viewers, they created extreme, unrealistic plots — such as elderly women being pursued by billionaires, terminally ill characters turning into wealthy socialites, and stories built around diseases, revenge, or taboo relationships. While these dramas quickly gained huge popularity and online revenue, they have been widely criticized for distorting social values and misleading vulnerable audiences.

According to the NRTA, it has already begun investigating and removing platforms that distribute vulgar or socially harmful content. The upcoming Micro-Drama Management Measures will introduce strict rules requiring:

• All production and distribution companies to undergo filing and review procedures.
• A ban on vulgar, exploitative, or discriminatory content.
• Prohibitions against glorifying unrealistic or unethical romantic and social values.

Social concerns have intensified as the influence of these dramas becomes more visible. Reports from multiple regions indicate that some female viewers, after obsessing over “CEO romance” plots, have grown dissatisfied with their marriages and even filed for divorce, believing they too might meet a rich and powerful lover. In extreme cases, women have imitated scenes from these dramas — such as deliberately damaging luxury cars in hopes of meeting the wealthy owner — only to end up facing expensive compensation claims and legal penalties.

Cultural scholars note that the popularity of such dramas reflects deeper anxieties in society — particularly around love, status, and social mobility. These stories provide temporary emotional escape and fantasy fulfillment but also encourage unhealthy expectations about relationships and wealth. When consumed excessively, they blur the line between fiction and reality.

Thus, the government’s new regulation is not just a media policy but a broader cultural correction. The NRTA emphasized that future micro-dramas should return to realism, promoting genuine emotions, everyday experiences, and positive social values — transforming the genre from a vehicle of fantasy and distortion into one that inspires and uplifts its audience.
