What Insights Does the Breakthrough of Police-Themed Mini Series Offer?
During the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays, the "bossy CEO"-style mini series produced by Hangzhou Police unexpectedly went viral. Each of the first four episodes garnered over 7 million views across all platforms, with audience flooding comment sections, urging for more episodes.
The success of this Hangzhou police mini series lies primarily in its precise grasp of audiences' demand for "substantive content." Unlike conventional "bossy CEO" mini series, this work skillfully integrates practical legal education into exaggerated yet relatable storylines. Topics such as anti-fraud, drunk driving prevention, and prevention of forged documents are seamlessly integrated into humorous plots.
The police officers, acting as the "voice of reason" in the role of the audience, use their legal knowledge to "defeat" the absurdity of the "bossy CEO," allowing viewers to gain valuable insights while enjoying the humor. This dual value of entertainment and practicality precisely hits the sweet spot of what today's audience expect for mini series—not only seeking emotional relief during fragmented leisure time, but also desiring useful insights through engaging storytelling.
