(Central News Agency, Taipei, May 13, reporter Hong Su-ju) Taiwan's film and television industry has shone brightly on Netflix's global stage, from the hit dramas "Light the Night" and "The Queen" creating buzz, to Alex Honnold's climb of Taipei 101 drawing significant attention. Netflix stated that it will continue to cultivate Taiwan's creative ecosystem and work hand-in-hand with the local industry.
Taiwanese film and television works on streaming platforms, such as "Copycat Killer," "The Ghost in the Haze," "The Queen," "Light the Night," and "Wave Makers," have driven popular trends and promoted social dialogue, attracting global attention to Taiwan's high-quality film and television content.
According to a Netflix press release, "Light the Night" boosted tourism and fashion in Taiwan. The drama's Taipei "Tiaotong" district, full of period charm, became a popular check-in spot; its 1980s-era attire and makeup sparked a retro craze, even becoming the theme for many company year-end parties and gatherings.
"The Queen" also drove popular culture. Actress Chung Hsin-ling, playing Sister Pang, had a line, "I saw it first," which not only went viral on Taiwanese social media due to its moving plot and acting but also became a popular meme quoted by netizens.
Furthermore, the line "Let's not just let this go, okay?" from "Wave Makers," which created a buzz earlier this year, not only touched audiences but also spurred broader public attention to workplace gender equality and rights, proving that good stories and content can foster more dialogue and discussion.
In addition to dramas, "The Impossible Climb: Alex Honnold's Free Solo of Taipei 101 Live," which generated heated discussion early this year, pushed Taiwan's humanistic landscape to the world. This broadcast reached 6.2 million viewers worldwide. When American free climber Alex Honnold free soloed to the top of Taipei 101, Netflix sent Taipei's charming urban silhouette globally, showcasing Taiwan's stunning appeal.
Netflix Chinese Content Director Huang Yi-mei stated, "Looking ahead to the next 10 years, facing an increasingly rapidly changing film and television entertainment industry, Netflix will continue to deepen the connections established with creators, local communities, and a broad base of fans. We will also continue to cultivate Taiwan's creative ecosystem and work hand-in-hand with the local industry, hoping that exciting stories not only touch audiences in Taiwan and globally but also continue to inspire profound influence."
