Production Credit
|
| Skyarc has built a solid track record
in China: |
|
|
| In
1994, Skyarc produced a weekly TV travel magazine show
called "Around the World" for China Central
Television (CCTV), the number one TV station in China.
The crew went to more than 20 countries in a one-year
period. Aired at 9:00 PM every Friday, the show quickly
gained a 10% rating, translating to over a hundred million
viewers across China. |
| In
1995, Skyarc created "World Sports Reports,"
a 90-minute weekly show with sports footage shot on locations
around the world and transmitted back through satellite,
a "first" for Chinese media. The show debuted
on CCTV on January 1, 1996, 7:30 PM, Monday night. The
ratings were about an 8% audience share, translating into
approximately eighty million viewers. |

By
early 1996, Skyarc started to produce a third weekly entertainment
show, "Behind the Scenes," introducing international
film festivals, stars and filmmakers. As the host and director,
Ms. Zhuge traveled to major film festivals throughout the
world. The show aired on Shanghai TV on Saturday nights at
7:30 and Beijing Cable TV on Friday nights at 8:30. Later,
"Behind the Scenes" was distributed to over 100
local TV stations, essentially covering the entire country
and commanding an audience of over 100 million. Video and
VCD distribution of the episodes followed. The show won National
Annual Broadcasting Awards every year for five years straight.
Top awards were for production, directing, hosting, script
writing and cinematography. "Behind the Scenes" has been on air for more than 5 years.

In
1998, Skyarc was entrusted with a task by the organizing committee
for the Shanghai International Film Festival, one of the nine
Grade-A film festivals in the world, to boost the recognition
of the festival. The result was a high-caliber TV series produced,
directed, scripted, and narrated by Ms. Zhuge. After the series
being aired on Shanghai TV, Oriental TV, and Shanghai Satellite
TV which reach the national coverage, rave reviews flooded in. |

At
the beginning of 1999, a crew combining Chinese and American
producers shot the first four pilots of "Common Ground"
in Virginia Beach. "Common Ground" was to be China's
first international talk show on international issues with
simultaneous language translation. Zhuge directed and hosted
the show. The show ranked Number One among 38 new shows competing
for BTV's airtime slots. Skyarc sold the show to BTV and "Common
Ground" began airing in late 1999.
|

In
2000, Skyarc created a ground-breaking televsion program called
"Meet China." Meet China invites
high profile foreign government, community and business
leaders, entrepreneurs, celebrities, cultural icons, etc. as
featured guests to participate in the dialogue with their Chinese counterparts
through live international satellite hookup. Meet China is
now a 50-minute prime time TV weekly show on China Central
Television Network (CCTV). Skyarc made history in Chinese television
by using a two-way satellite transmission system on a talk
show.

working in Chinese media, a seasoned team, a strong reputation,
