\n\tLONDON: Marking the official Chinese state visit to the U.K., BBC Worldwide has inked several co-production deals for factual content in China, including a sequel to the hit documentary Earth<\/em> that will become the first feature film developed under a co-production treaty between both countries.<\/p>\n

\n\tEarth: One Amazing Day<\/em> (working title) will be filmed in partnership between BBC Earth Films and SMG Pictures, the film and TV-production arm of Shanghai Media Group (SMG). The film is due out in 2017, with SMG Pictures handling distribution on the Chinese mainland.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat announcement was followed by news that the upcoming BBC One Sherlock<\/em> special will screen in Chinese movie theaters as part of a global cinema event, pending regulatory approval.<\/p>\n

\n\tTim Davie, the chief executive of BBC Worldwide, said: “Today’s announcements herald an exciting new collaboration between the Chinese and British creative industries. There is a keen appetite in China for premium British content and creating two new cinematic experiences in partnership with SMG Pictures is a landmark moment for two of our biggest brands, Sherlock <\/em>and BBC Earth.”<\/p>\n

\n\tMadame Wang Jiannjun, the director-general and president of SMG, remarked: “I am delighted that SMG Pictures will be the co-producer of the first feature film to be produced under the landmark U.K. and China film co-production treaty. This milestone event will act as a bridge between Sino-U.K. cultural exchanges and set up a new model for Sino-U.K. collaboration.”<\/p>\n

\n\tBBC Worldwide and SMG also signed a memorandum of understanding to co-produce Coast China<\/em>, the local version of a British factual format that chronicles the character of coastal communities. Filming of Coast China<\/em>, a six-episode series produced by SMG subsidiaries DocuChina and Yunjijianglai, is scheduled to start spring 2017.<\/p>\n

\n\t“We are delighted to be cementing our relationship with SMG by announcing this exciting new phase of our long-term alliance and look forward to working together toward the exchange of expertise and creation in the making of Coast<\/em>,” said Kelvin Yau, the general manager for Greater China at BBC Worldwide.<\/p>\n

\n\t“SMG and BBC Worldwide have enjoyed extensive collaborations over the years,” added Madame Wang Jiannjun. “I’m delighted that our collaboration will now expand to this new co-production of Coast China<\/em>. SMG is committed to producing top-notch documentaries for audiences in China and the world and this is a brilliant start.”<\/p>\n

\n\tPartnering with CCTV 9, the documentary channel of China’s national TV network, BBC will also co-produce the blue-chip natural-history series The Hunt<\/em>. The Silverback Films production will explore the unique dynamic relationship between predators and their prey over seven hour-long episodes, with BBC America and NDR NaturFilm also co-producing. It will premiere in January on CCTV 9.<\/p>\n

\n\t“The co-production with CCTV 9 for The Hunt<\/em> demonstrates the shared commitment we have in producing ambitious natural-history content,” Yau said. “CCTV’s involvement will bring this landmark series to a broader Chinese audience across Greater China.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
