The original nine-episode prime-time series is planned to become a 36-episode series in Chinese.<\/p>\n<p>Radiant Pictures\u2019 executive producer, Zidan Liu, commented: \u201cThe adaptation of <em>A Family Goes Job-Hunting<\/em>\u00a0is relevant to current Chinese society. China is rapidly developing socio-economically, and on one hand many people are increasingly becoming dedicated to their job, but on the other hand going back home is becoming a luxury. Social phenomena such as <em>Beipiaozu<\/em>, a new term for the young generation who has come to Beijing to work, and <em>Liushou ertong<\/em>, the children left in rural communities by their parents who have moved to the city in search of wealth, have become common words in the Chinese language. As such, situations where a once-functional family like in <em>A Family Goes Job-Hunting<\/em>\u00a0faces workplace problems and family issues is becoming common and I believe the adapted series will be very well received by the Chinese audience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Liu added: \u201cOur aim is to not only depict workplace and job-hunting issues in contemporary China, but to also focus on real family issues such as the weakening bond between family members and how a family rebuilds their ties with each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yasuo Kawashima, the managing director of the business division at TV Asahi, remarked: \u201cI am very happy that <em>A Family Goes Job-Hunting<\/em>\u00a0will be adapted in China where many large high-quality adaptations are being made, especially as Radiant Pictures is one of the foremost production companies and they were one of the first companies to approach us regarding this drama when it was broadcast in the January 2017 season on TV Asahi. The importance of family bonds transcends time and place and is truly a globally relatable topic. I believe that the gripping depiction of such a topic in the backdrop of current society is what makes this series special. I trust that the adaptation of this drama will be widely viewed in China and I sincerely hope that we will see more adaptations of our drama series in China.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>TV Asahi\u2019s Producer Koichi Funatsu commented, \u201cThis drama portrays how the bonds among a family of four become stronger and \u2018what it means for a person to work.\u2019 I am very delighted that this Chinese adaptation deal has been made. I have high hopes that the Chinese audience will find the story highly relatable.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TV Asahi Corporation has sold the format rights to the scripted drama series A Family Goes Job-Hunting to Radiant Pictures, based in Beijing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":5828,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[648],"class_list":["post-5827","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-tv-asahi","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
