"Grandma's New World" is an outlier, an experimental work that provides a scarce path to conventional online drama creation, says Zhang Fujian. The emergence of road-themed online dramas has begun to renew the deep-rooted concept of genre in creation, he says.
Zhang: The focus of the play is to see the strange life and society from the main perspective of an elderly woman whose life experience is disconnected from the current world. The screenwriter played a big trick and took a big risk, deliberately frustrating the audience's curiosity, he adds.
