Online movies and dramas now had a distribution license, replacing the previous online record number. This permit was issued by the State Administration of Radio and Television, marking the entry of online movies and dramas into a more regulated and strict era. The first online drama to receive a distribution license was "Duel," and its serial number was "(General Administration) Online Drama Review (2022) No. 001." The online movie "Leaves on the Golden Mountain" that was about to be released became the first online movie to obtain a license. The serial number was "(General Administration) Web Film Review (2022) No. 001." This change meant that online movies and dramas no longer needed to be registered online, but they needed to obtain a distribution license. Starting from 2019, the review standards for online movies and online dramas were basically the same as those for movies and television dramas. Even online dramas could participate in the evaluation of national awards and would no longer be treated differently.
Yes, the distribution license and the online registration number were related. In the past, online dramas only needed to show the online filing number, but the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television now issued a "Web drama distribution license" for online dramas. This meant that web dramas now needed to obtain a distribution license before they could be officially released, not just showing the record number. The introduction of the distribution license would further regulate the production and broadcasting of online dramas, provide a clearer understanding for the audience, and receive further support from the State Administration of Radio and Television for the entire industry.
The distribution license was different from the online registration number. The distribution license was a new type of certificate used for web dramas and web movies. Previously, web dramas only needed to show the online record number. The introduction of the distribution license meant that online dramas and online movies had more standardized and strict review standards, similar to movies and TV series. This change also allowed web dramas to participate in the evaluation of national awards and no longer receive preferential treatment. Therefore, the distribution license and the online registration number were different.
[The distribution license and the online registration number are inconsistent.] According to the relevant notice, online dramas needed to obtain a distribution license before they could be broadcasted online.

Therefore, the distribution license and the online filing number were two different concepts and labels.
There were obvious differences between the issuing license and the online filing number in terms of the organizer, the review organization, and the review standards. The organizers of the release of the license were the social management departments of the provincial and municipal radio, film and television bureau, and the organizers of the online filing number were the SARFT. Similarly, the approval agency for issuing the license was the social management department of the radio, film and television bureau in each province, and the approval agency for the online filing number was the SARFT. In addition, the review criteria for the distribution license included whether the plot content was in line with the core values of society, whether there were negative music and lines, and at the same time, the actor's acting skills and the crew's obedience. The review criteria for the online record number were whether the plot content was in line with the core values of society, and whether there were any illegal content or scenes. In general, the distribution license and the online filing number played different roles in the process of TV series distribution and online broadcast. They had different management agencies and review standards.
