Contenders, the first Chinese micro drama with an investment exceeding 100 million yuan, has premiered. On May 5, its daily view count surpassed 10 million for the first time, bringing total views to 43.607 million. Contenders tells the story of the arduous entrepreneurial journey of Chinese laborers who migrated to Nanyang (Southeast Asia) in the 1940s, highlighting the Shan Hai Gang—a brotherhood formed by Chinese immigrants. Contenders is backed by a team of professional creators behind the scenes. The series exemplifies the industry's transition from quantity-driven production to a focus on quality, setting a new benchmark for the high-quality development of domestic micro dramas.
