FCCE launches strategic Chinese production venture

Netherlands-based producer-distributor FCCE has entered into a strategic partnership with China’s Heilongjiang Loong Media Group.

The partnership will see the pair attempt to localise programming and formats for China’s film, digital and television markets.

Furthermore, Heilongjiang Loong has established a new production company, Heilongjiang TV, which will record the creation and development of a local version of FCCE’s user-generated movie making concept Entertainment Experience – the first official project to come out of the cooperation.

The Dutch version of Entertainment Experience saw the public aid The Terminator director Paul Verhoeven in producing a feature film by submitting scripts and creative input and auditioning for roles. The project won an International Digital Emmy earlier this year.

The format will see a Chinese director attached to the project, who will be unveiled in January.
