Tencent also has the distribution rights for the series in Hong Kong, Taiwan and China. <em>The Collection<\/em>, set in the world of French haute couture after WWII, comes from writer, creator and showrunner Oliver Goldstick (<em>Pretty Little Liars<\/em>, <em>Ugly Betty<\/em>, <em>Desperate Housewives<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are very excited to partner with Tencent on <em>The Collection<\/em>,\u201d said Kelvin Yau, BBC Worldwide&#8217;s general manager for Greater China. \u201cWe have a great relationship with them, most recently co-producing <em>Planet Earth II<\/em>, which has been incredibly popular in China with 28 million views for its first four episodes in just four weeks. We are confident that <em>The Collection<\/em>, with its story about the price of success set during a pivotal moment in France\u2019s history when fashion became a vehicle for transformation and reinvention, will resonate with viewers in Greater China.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had previously worked together to bring <em>Doctor Who<\/em> and <em>Orphan Black<\/em>\u00a0successfully to Chinese audiences,\u201d said Jeff Han, the VP of Tencent Online Media Group and general manager of marketing and video content co-operation. \u201cWe are now very excited that Chinese audiences will be part of <em>The Collection<\/em>, which is fast becoming a global phenomenon.
