📖 題組：
In a recent interview, the venerable Mr. Xu lamented how the Korean Drama obsession is hurting China’s “cultural self-esteem.” In an interesting twist, Guangzhou’s Time Weekly reported how the show is challenging traditional gender roles in China: “The handsome male characters have also encouraged Chinese women to demand their men take more care with their appearance. By contrast, the archetype of a male character in Chinese dramas is someone who is careless and nagging but generally a good person. Korean dramas, on the other hand, like their male leads to be Prince Charming characters.” ... This nationwide love for Korean dramas such as My Love From the Star, as well as the hit American show, House of Cards, has left people like Xu wondering: Where is the love for Chinese TV?
But, Xu is no dummy: He acknowledged in the interview that most Chinese television shows are “poorly written and lack creativity.” Even The China Daily acknowledges the overall shittiness of Chinese television, saying: “Chinese TV screens are flooded by knock-off and/or poorly made soap operas. Most of the Chinese TV dramas either distort the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, which is a distortion of history, or blindly copy foreign programs. The lack of good stories has of late resulted in loads of TV series on time travel or fights in the harems of Qing Dynasty emperors. These, in short, are the bane of Chinese TV productions.” So, in short, it’s no surprise to anyone involved that Chinese TV clearly needs to step its game up.

我們來印證一下文章第二段的關鍵線索：文中引述了徐先生與《中國日報》的評論，指出中國電視劇最大的問題在於「劇本寫得差且缺乏創意（poorly written and lack creativity）」、「盲目抄襲外國節目（blindly copy foreign programs）」以及「缺乏好故事（lack of good stories）」。既然病因是缺乏原創與好劇本，那麼最佳的改善良方自然就是 (C) 製作更多編劇精良且具原創性的故事（well-written and original stories）。
