已下架！短剧出现“1胎99子”剧情？导演、男主紧急“割席”……
双语君约 4 分钟A Chinese mini-drama featuring the biologically impossible premise of a character giving birth to 99 babies in a single pregnancy has been removed from major streaming platforms following widespread ridicule and regulatory scrutiny. The incident highlights ongoing concerns about increasingly outlandish and low-quality content in China's booming short-video drama market.
据蓝鲸新闻报道，截至15日晚间，该短剧已在短视频平台下架。
The controversial plotline, which surfaced in recent days, quickly became a trending topic. Viewers expressed disbelief, with many joking that the absurdity made even the notoriously extravagant tropes of "domineering CEO" dramas – featuring characters casually gifting hundreds of millions – seem comparatively "slightly more normal".
By the evening of Sunday, the short drama had been taken down from Douyin and other platforms, according to reports by the Lanjinger.com news website. Facing intense backlash, the drama's director and lead actor, Wang Yuwei, rushed to distance themselves.
Wang addressed the controversy during a live stream, stating: "I only saw this plot point during the script table read ... it was truly insane." He offered an apology: "Sorry for shocking everyone with this craziness," adding candidly, "My agent said it would definitely be a huge hit, so I took the role without reading the script first."
This incident is not isolated. Chinese regulators have repeatedly targeted problematic content in the highly competitive mini-drama sector. In November 2024, the National Radio and Television Administration issued specific warnings against "domineering CEO" dramas. It urged creators to avoid "using realistic settings to package absurd stories" that could damage the image of entrepreneurs and to focus instead on "actively setting themes to tell good stories about Chinese entrepreneurs."
Platforms like Weibo, Douyin, and Kuaishou have also ramped up content reviews, frequently announcing the removal of short dramas deemed vulgar, lowbrow, or promoting unhealthy values.
这样离谱的剧情，严重脱离了现实逻辑与基本认知，简直是制作方对下沉市场的“电子投毒”，在公然消耗观众的智商与耐心。
此类荒诞情节的背后，是部分创作者一味追逐流量与关注度，为博眼球不择手段。在当下短剧市场竞争激烈、内容海量涌现的环境下，他们试图以这种重口味、低俗化的方式快速吸引受众。
艺术创作中，严肃性与合理性是最基本的要求，创作者不应靠猎奇、审丑来哗众取宠。相关部门更需强化网络作品的审核监管，净化创作生态，别让此类“辣眼睛”的荒诞短剧继续污染网络，误导大众审美与价值观。
The emergence of the "99-baby" plot is widely seen as a desperate attempt by some producers to grab attention in an oversaturated market. Critics condemned it as "electronic poisoning" targeted at less discerning audiences, "openly consuming viewers' intelligence and patience."
Commentators emphasize that creators should not rely on "grotesquery and ugliness" for cheap thrills. There are renewed demands for authorities to "strengthen the review and supervision of online works, purify the creative ecosystem," and prevent such "eye-stinging" absurdities from further polluting the online space and distorting public aesthetics and values.
