Fox Intl. Productions & FNG Asia Align for Chinese-Language Content

HONG KONG: Fox International Productions (FIP) and FOX Networks Group Asia (FNG Asia) are collaborating to develop and co-produce Chinese-language content, including films, miniseries and TV series for distribution globally.

Both FIP and FNG Asia have been actively producing and investing in Chinese-language content. The collaboration will include the development of new scripts and remakes of existing Fox titles. The first title will start production in 2017.

Tomas Jegeus, the president of Fox International Productions, said, ”Greater China, and Asia overall, represent a very significant portion of our strategic focus on the production of feature films globally. FIP joining forces with FOX Networks Group Asia will now solidly position us as a go-to, one-stop shop for our local partners, and among the creative community overall in the region.”

Zubin Gandevia, the president of FOX Networks Group Asia, said, “There is an appetite for high quality Chinese-language content and FNG, through our well established and renowned Chinese movies channel brand SCM, is perfectly placed to drive positive developments in this area. Now with our partnership with our sister company, Fox International Productions, I have no doubt together we will be a formidable force in the Chinese content space.”

He continued, “There is so much talent in Asia and so much potential in Chinese and Asia film and TV making. FNG is committed to producing great content in and for this region. We look forward to working with FIP to help shine an international spotlight on Chinese content and see the genre gain the recognition and status it deserves.”
