New Chinese TV show to be shot in Seattle

China-based DMG Entertainment, the company that partnered with Marvel Entertainment on Iron Man 3 in China, has reached an agreement with Washington Filmworks to develop, produce and shoot a Chinese-language TV drama in Seattle.

The memorandum of understanding between the two companies signed in Beijing recently was part of a collection of trade agreements reached by China and Bellevue, Washington mayor Conrad Lee and representatives of Washington governor Jay Inslee.

DMG CEO Dan Mintz noted that "the Seattle area boasts a highly diverse cultural make-up and that includes a lot of Chinese and Asian communities, which makes it a perfect place to set the show".
