Andy Wang of Imagetech, which recently did the special effects for famous director Hsu Chin-liang's prime-time drama series Wind and Clouds, says that over the last two years locally-rooted dramas in Taiwanese dialect have been popular in Taiwan. These have no market outside the island, so there is no sign today of the huge sales in the worldwide Chinese-language market of past series like those on Song-dynasty magistrate Bao Qingtian.
最近替名導演徐進良的八點檔大戲《風雲》作特效的台灣夢工場副總經理王傳宏就指出，近兩年來國內流行台語鄉土劇，鄉土劇走不出本島，以往像《包公傳》般在全球華人市場大賣的盛況也不復出現。
