"The Corporate Circus" Adult-Animation Television Project Signs U.S.-China Co-Production Cooperation First with Top Chinese Animation Partners
The Corporate Circus has signed a co-production animation project deal with Beijing China Cartoon Media Co., LTD (BCCM), a premier animation entity in Beijing China.
Henderson, NV (PRWEB) April 7, 2005 -- The Corporate Circus, the original and
innovatively creative fantasy style corporate satire book-based property,
written and created by Adela JP (pen name of Adela Josue Polin, MBA), has signed
a co-production animation project deal with a premier animation entity in
Beijing China, Beijing China Cartoon Media Co., LTD (BCCM) http://www.ccif.com.cn/eng/
This original first of its
kind “cross-cultural” animation cooperation deal was negotiated through the
International Law Firm of Michael R. Polin (www.polinlawfirm.com) and
with International Television for Asia (ITA), a U.S. entertainment company. Both
companies are actively involved in the burgeoning China entertainment industry
with an emphasis on television, animation, merchandising, publishing and digital
content for mobile phones and the Internet. Michael R. Polin, an international
business, entertainment and trial attorney, is a highly sought after keynote
speaker on China media entertainment(cultural)industry.
The terms of this
multi-faceted co-production deal include the creation of new original animated
content shorts for China’s mobile phone subscribers (350 million) and Internet
users (120 million), as well as creation of new animated adult television shows
for both the United States and China television audiences.
As reported
frequently in the press, China entertainment and media is about to skyrocket
with original product (referencing BBC News article “China 'ripe' for media
explosion” March 13, 2005 - www.bbcnews.com). "China is the world’s largest cell phone
subscriber market (China Mobile www.chinamobile.com/english/ and China Unicom www.unicom.com/english/)
and is now actively seeking content to launch in 2005. Thus, the timing of this
animation project deal could not be better for The Corporate Circus," said
Attorney Polin.
The parties intend to use this unique cooperation project
to exemplify globally the superior partnership and strategic working
relationship between American and Chinese animation companies in producing
original media programming and content. The parties intend further cooperation
in 2005 and will make announcements in the coming months.
Adela Josue
Polin, President of The Corporate Circus, Inc. is an MBA whose corporate
experience led to the writing of “The Corporate Circus” as an entertainingly
satiric look at corporate life. She founded the company to market and license
the animated characters she developed in her book. The Corporate Circus
properties consist of 15 unique office humor characters in the form of
collectible plush dolls satirizing the workplace, and an original
tongue-in-cheek corporate satire book title “The Corporate Circus – a fairy tale
soap opera on office life.” The Corporate Circus has received a 5 Star rave
review from Midwest Book Review as “humorous, witty and engagingly presented…a
highly recommended reading!”
“This first of its kind cross-cultural
production effort between BCCM and The Corporate Circus, which involves taking
an original American intellectual property and co-developing/animating it in
China, is truly exciting. I am very enthusiastic to have this unique and immense
opportunity to reach the worlds largest and fastest growing media entertainment
market space,” said Adela.
Adela also added, “I am looking forward to
working with creative Chinese artists to animate The Corporate Circus and bring
its story and characters, with universal appeal, to life. I thank Attorney
Michael Polin, ITA and their stellar and prestigious Chinese partners for this
great opportunity.”
“We have been in China for
many years and have cultivated significant business relationships and friendship
with our Chinese strategic partners and associates, both private and Government.
The animation and business partners on this project, BCCM, are top tier people
and experienced animation developers. We are very enthusiastic about launching
The Corporate Circus through multiple mediums,” said Attorney Polin.

Corporate Circus multi-media licensing opportunities ranges from TV shows,
publishing, computer games, greeting cards, corporate gifts, stationery
products, apparel, toys, corporate training seminars and entertainment, and
