With a reputation guaranteed to bring in box office ratings, multi-hyphenate Taiwanese performer, Jay Chou, invested a lump sum of S$6.5 million into his first television drama series production, Pandaman. Although the drama has yet to be broadcasted, Jay is already pocketing money from the licensing fees paid for by television stations that are interested in airing his drama series.
Estimated to be racking in S$50 million from his new venture, Jay’s monetary returns are comparable to that earned by Disney’s cartoon merchandise. The 30-year-old who will be guest-starring in the show as a cop said, “This is not just a drama series. It can be called a movie.”
Each episode for Jay’s upcoming drama series costs S$200,000 in production value. This series will be making its way to the small screens in China and Taiwan next year in January with its gala premiere held at one of Beijing’s stadiums.
According to various reports, the biggest revenue for Jay’s latest and newest venture would be the profits reaped in from its merchandises. Starting off a line of Pandaman toys, stationary, clothes, accessories and a comic series is estimated to be worth S$30 million in total.
