Nippon TV’s Your Home Is My Business! Set for China

Nippon Television Network Corporation (Nippon TV) has inked a deal with the Shanghai-based production company Youhug Media for the format rights to the drama series Your Home Is My Business!

The drama, which aired on Nippon TV in July 2016, is set to start production in early 2018 in China. Well-known Chinese scriptwriter Liu Liu (Dwelling Narrowness, Calculation) is attached to pen the series. Your Home Is My Business! follows Machi, a beautiful real-estate saleswoman known for closing the deal no matter who the client is.

“Given our success at MIP with Mother and Woman—My Life For My Children, two of our top-selling drama formats, we are delighted to be announcing this deal with Youhug Media for Your Home Is My Business!, another one of our high-end TV dramas,” commented Atsushi Hatayama, the president of international business development for Nippon TV. “China has definitely been a significant territory for us these past few years and Youhug is the ideal company for us to be working with.”

Chao Lu, the founder of Youhug Media, added: “The drama achieved a great reputation and successful ratings during its airing on Nippon TV. Housing, which the story is about, is also one of the hottest social topics in China. A home is not simply a living space. It carries a lot of human emotions. I believe the story will also be able to arouse a strong resonance among Chinese audience. Since its founding, Youhug Media has adhered to the concept that content is king and creativity is our core value. We invited the well-known scriptwriter Liu Liu this time to pen the Chinese series, and we strive to bring the audience a high-quality and touching work, which is also what we have been always committed to. Lastly, through this cooperation, we do look forward to laying a solid foundation for a long-term partnership between Nippon TV and Youhug Media.”
