The success of The Masked Singer<\/em> in the U.S. was the subject of much discussion among professionals in the format industry at MIPFormats and MIPTV. Could the bizarre celebrity singing competition be the Next Big Thing the industry is clamoring for? Is Korea the hot new format exporter? The MBC-originated format did make headlines during the week as Televisa Studios and Endemol Shine Boomdog revealed they are partnering to bring the show to Mexico<\/a>. Meanwhile, Korean content giant CJ ENM secured an option with Tresor TV in Germany for its music competition format<\/a>\u00a0300: War of United Voices<\/em> following a deal with Endemol Shine in France. Smart Dog Media\u2019s Craig Plestis\u2014who brought The Masked Singer<\/em> to the U.S.\u2014is working on a U.S. adaptation.<\/p>\n

Korea wasn\u2019t the only Asian market in the spotlight. Endemol Shine China and Hunan TV<\/a>\u2014which made a big promotional push on Super-Vocal<\/em> at the market\u2014unveiled Acting Up<\/em>, the first project to emerge from their co-pro pact. Japan\u2019s Nippon TV announced a Thai deal on the game-show format Block Out<\/em><\/a>, and unveiled an alliance with Incognita to bring the scripted formats Mother<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Woman\u2013My Life for My Children\u2013<\/em> to France<\/a>. ABS-CBN Corporation also had some scripted format news to announce with A Mother\u2019s Guilt heading to Turkey<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

It was entertainment format news that dominated the week though. Marco Bassetti, CEO of Banijay Group, used his MIPTV keynote to announce that ABC had picked up Don\u2019t<\/em>, a new original game show created by Banijay Studios North America with Ryan Reynolds on board as executive producer. \u201cOur goal is to create formats; that is the base of our business model\u2014creating formats that can be successful in other countries and distributed and produced in other countries,\u201d Bassetti said in his keynote, which was moderated by World Screen<\/em>\u2019s Anna Carugati<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That session also featured Banijay France CEO Fran\u00e7ois de Brugada, who weighed in on the challenges of keeping returning brands fresh. \u201cKeeping your big brands as successful as they were in the past and making them progress is a tough job,\u201d de Brugada said. \u201cYou need teams that are able to polish your diamonds daily. From one season to the next, each of these shows has been transformed.\u201d<\/p>\n

How to build new concepts into successful, returning formats dominated many of the panels at MIPFormats. Among the shows in the spotlight was Million Dollar Mile,<\/a><\/em> airing on CBS and headed to France 2<\/a>, with World Screen<\/em>\u2019s Anna Carugati moderating a session with Warner Bros.\u2019 Andrew Zein and Fly on the Wall Entertainment\u2019s Jeff Anderson. Carugati also sat down with Revital Basel,\u00a0managing director of networks at\u00a0Keshet International, about the company\u2019s near-future reality show\u00a02025<\/em><\/a>. In another MIPFormats session, Global Agency\u2019s Izzet Pinto, BBC Studios\u2019 Sumi Connock, The Story Lab\u2019s Fotini Paraskakis and Ascendo TV\u2019s Nathalie Wogue discussed their experiences working with paper formats and spoke about commissioners being more open to taking risks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Emerging opportunities with digital players was also a key theme across MIPFormats sessions, including the one on live shows moderated by World Screen<\/em>\u2019s Kristin Brzoznowski<\/a>. MTV International\u2019s Matt Risley discussed the Facebook Watch game show MTV Stax<\/em> and noted how it engages with fans. The two other panelists, ITV Studios Global Entertainment\u2019s Cecilie Olsen and A&E\u2019s Elaine Frontain Bryant, discussed Operation Live<\/em> and Live PD<\/em>, respectively, two shows made for linear networks that have found huge traction on social media.<\/p>\n

Live formats have not yet emerged as a major force in the global entertainment landscape, one that remains dominated by game shows, talent and factual entertainment. Game show deals unveiled last week include Dori Media Group selling Power Couple<\/em><\/a> into Mexico and the U.S. Hispanic markets, and Dream Houses, distributed by Global Agency<\/a><\/em>, being optioned by Critical Content for the U.S. and U.K. markets. Fremantle\u2019s sports-reality format\u00a0Match Fit<\/em>\u00a0is heading to Denmark<\/a> on TV2, while Vivendi Entertainment\u2019s factual-entertainment format\u00a0Facing the Classroom<\/em><\/a>\u00a0will be adapted in Poland and the Middle East. Armoza Formats secured a commission for Dance Revolution<\/em><\/a>\u00a0in Lithuania with LNK. Banijay\u2019s reality adventure show Shipwrecked<\/em><\/a>\u00a0is headed to RTL2 in Germany. BBC Studios announced a new market for The Great Bake Off<\/em><\/a>, Kenya, and its first deal on Pressure Cooker<\/em>, which was picked up by HRT 2 in Croatia.<\/a><\/p>\n

Partnerships was another key theme of the week, with Keshet International and Russian broadcaster NTV aligning for the entertainment talent-show format\u00a0Drive Master<\/a><\/em> and Fremantle and Mediaset Spain<\/a> teaming up on the entertainment format Game of Talents<\/em>.<\/p>\n
