But when looking back and looking at what made Thais addicted to the entertainment industry in the past 2020, we will find that
The downfall of the movie theater
Even last year in Thailand there were not many Thai and foreign films shown. But there are also movies that have gotten a lot of buzz on Twitter, such as “Parasite” #Parasite, the first Asian film to win an Oscar. And the giant “Mulan” #Mulan film, both of which are the 2020 Twitter Talk of the Town films.
The most talked about Thai movie on Twitter in Thailand is #MyRhythm (My Rhythm) starring Chris Pirawat (@kristtps) and #ClassicAgain, Rain Mail, Magic Umbrella. Inspired by The Classic, a romantic Korean movie.
While Hollywood films and international film distributors have to delay screening indefinitely. But Thai people have a TV drama to talk about without stopping with the hit series “Because we are together” # 2getherTheSeries Starring with two young couples, Jin Bright Wachirawit (@bbrightvc) and Win Methwin (@winmetawin) that became a trend not just in Thailand. But also popular with foreign fans such as the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore, who shared a tweet about the romantic love story of this handsome young man.
The Y series trend is not new in Thailand, but 2020 is the year when the popularity of this series has reached new heights. The most buzzed-about Y-Series duo on Twitter last year were Kim Mon Copter, Chris Lione, and Biggin Phi Phi.
Fantasy teen dramas like student power, #TheGifted, and new kids series. #GirlFromNowhere Has gained popularity with people on Twitter As for music programs such as singer masks #TheMaskSingerTH With the singer hiding and secretly #ICanSeeYourVoiceThailand Was widely discussed Especially when there were actors such as Mew Supasit @MSuppasit), JJ Krisnaphum (@JJksnp) and Ice Paris (@IcePariss) participating.
The era of streaming all day and night
OTT (Over-the-top) streaming services or viewing media entertainment via the Internet, such as Netflix, @netflixth, GMM 25 @GMMTV and LINE TV @linetvth are optional. Watch endless entertainment, resulting in a variety of tweets in 2020. Since the singing contest, Thai movies and reality shows
Foreign programs are also popular. Especially for Korean dramas like #ItsOkayToNotBeOkay, #TheKingEternalMonarch, and #CrashLandingOnYou. These are some of the most talked about on Twitter.
British series such as #TheCrown, #Sherlock, and #EnolaHolmes were able to attract the attention of Thai series fans on Twitter as well. But even so, none of them beat the Thai romantic comedy series. “Because we are together” # 2getherTheSeries because the end of this series has made Twitter people all over the world unite to tweet as many as 4.8 million messages.
Mr. Carl Cheng, Head of Entertainment Alliance Twitter’s Southeast Asia and People’s Republic of China said 2020 was an unexpected and unprecedented change in the entertainment industry. But Twitter still plays a role in getting people to create conversations. Some parts of the world hope for a revival. And there is a relief from locking down measures But stories in the entertainment industry will still be an important part of people’s lives for sure, and in 2021 there will be new reality shows, Thai series and new award-winning movies. What kind of direction will the entertainment story take?
