Difference between Duanju and Wei Duan Ju

There are no duanju (short dramas) that exceed ten minutes in length. Anything longer than ten minutes is typically a horizontal-screen drama rather than a vertical-screen one, and duanju are all vertical in format. Those that exceed ten minutes are generally referred to by as different type of mini drama — they are horizontal-screen and are generally translated by Chinese speakers as "wei duan ju." or "duan ju ji". They should be as "horizontal-screen mini drama" or "horizontal-screen medium drama" The above is the answer I got from consulting a scriptwriter who has written hundreds of duanju scripts and a duanju actor. I suggest creating a separate Wikipedia entry for horizontal-screen mini dramas, to describe those series that are in horizontal format and have a length of 10 to 15 minutes.The term "duanju" on the current page should refer specifically to vertical-screen dramas.
