FOX Networks Group Asia Brings Music of Teresa Teng to New Miniseries

FOX Networks Group Asia is working on Memory Eclipse, a new anthology miniseries featuring the music of legendary Chinese pop singer Teresa Teng.

The anthology series is themed with Chinese-language pop music, featuring a different cast of characters and storylines inspired by a Teng song in each episode. The five-episode drama, which will explore the golden era of Teng’s music, is set to launch in 2019.

Infernal Affairs trilogy producer John Chong is on board the series as well. Shot between Thailand and Taiwan, Memory Eclipse is produced by FOX Networks Group Asia in collaboration with Winday Culture.

Cora Yim, senior VP and head of Chinese entertainment at FOX Networks Group Asia, said, “With Mandarin-language content experiencing an unprecedented boom, now is the time to be ambitious and bold in our Chinese entertainment strategy. Programming like Memory Eclipse, a first-of-its-kind anthology series themed around the music of the legendary Teresa Teng, is a fantastic example of FOX Networks Group Asia’s ongoing promise to produce and acquire original content capable of moving hearts and redefining pop culture in Asia.”

Chong, producer and president of the Hong Kong Screenwriter’s Guild, said, “The power and the possibility of television entertainment is truly limitless. Memory Eclipse is a fantastic example of how original formats such as the limited-run anthology series enable producers to flex their creative muscles like never before. The series is a bold reimagining of the themes behind Teresa Teng’s music so that fans can experience the heart, soul and spirit of her beloved songs in a completely new way.”

Charles Sun, founder of Winday Culture, said, “From joining the first-ever Fox Creative Lab Taiwan to kick-starting the new miniseries Memory Eclipse, it’s been quite a year! I’m thrilled to once again work closely with the FOX Networks Group team as we give life to compelling, imaginative, original entertainment from some of the brightest talent in Asia. Having the chance to work with the legendary music of Teresa Teng alongside modern legends such as John Chong and our sensational case is truly an honor.”
