Flagship Entertainment Announces Ambitious Inaugural Slate Featuring Films Across All Genres March 16, 2016
Hong Kong, China/London, UK - Flagship Entertainment today announced its inaugural film slate at a press event in Hong Kong attended by Ruigang Li, Founding Chairman of CMC, Kevin Tsujihara, Chairman and CEO, Warner Bros., and Charles Chan, Chairman, TVB. Flagship is a joint venture between CMC (China Media Capital), Warner Bros. and TVB, founded in 2015 to develop and produce Chinese-language and Hong Kong films, including global tentpoles, for distribution around the world, including China.
The slate includes films from every genre with a wide range of budgets; select projects have talent attached, including directors and lead actors. The first of these titles will be released in 2016. Per Flagship's mandate, these Chinese-language films will be produced to capitalize on the rapidly growing market for premium content globally, particularly in China, and the increasing demand for high-quality Chinese-language movies around the world.
Flagship is a pioneering collaboration between the Chinese film industry, including Hong Kong, and Hollywood. The strong growth potential of China's film market, the well-established talent pool in Hong Kong, and Hollywood's vast experience in development, production and distribution of global films, highlight the unique advantages of Flagship. We look forward to bringing the best stories to the global audience with our upcoming releases and positioning China as one of the world's major creative sources for the film industry, said Ruigang Li.
With Flagship, we plan to make great movies that showcase China's fabled history, stories, values and lifestyles, said Tsujihara. But more than just making movies, we want Flagship to be a true cultural exchange between our companies and our countries. China is rich with talented storytellers-from writers and directors, to actors and craftsman-and we look forward to working with them in the years to come.
