Project is first to be greenlit by CCTV6 and Sony Pictures Television joint venture Huaso.
Principal photography has begun in Australia on the Mandarin-language trilogy Chosen, co-produced by Chinese streaming platform iQIYI, and Huaso, the Chinese joint venture by CCTV6 and Sony Pictures Television (Spt).
The three-part adaptation stars Lan Cheng Long (pictured) and Deng Jiajia and marks the first greenlit project since CCTV6 and Spt announced their joint venture in December.

Speakers discussed how platforms can offer differentials from terrestrial TV content.
Localising content and producing originals are key to developing Ott platforms in Asia, said speakers on a Hong Kong Filmart panel, ‘New Opportunities in the Explosive Growth of Online Entertainment’, today (March 14).
Meg Lee, Pccw’s assistant vice president, content management – digital media, explained that the company’s Viu Ott platform offers local-language content in most markets it operates in across southeast Asia, India and the Middle East. However, Korean dramas that it licenses from Korea’s major broadcasters seem to work almost everywhere.
Lee also said that Viu creates news and other information content around its Korean shows: “We believe demand for social media and short-form news content is growing and this allows us to build a closer connection with the fans.”
Dan Zonmani, content business director of Korean platform Line’s Thai operations, said K-dramas are also gaining traction among the service’s 33 million...
