Chunghwa Telecom announces 10 new content investments

Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan’s largest telecommunications operator, has unveiled a new slate of 10 investments spanning film, television, and music projects. Announced at the Taiwan Creative Content Fest (TCCF), the initiative aims to support original Taiwanese intellectual property and connect local creators with international partners.

The investment slate includes several scripted series, such as the police crime drama “Gunshot,” produced in collaboration with PTS Taigi TV and S11 Partners, and the family fantasy series “Yesterday’s Daughter, Tomorrow’s Mother.” Other television projects include the fantasy adventure “Guides to the World Below,” adapted from a popular comic, and the urban drama “C’est la Vie,” featuring actress Esther Liu as executive producer. The company is also backing “Next Z Chef,” a cooking competition show aimed at young audiences.

In film, Chunghwa Telecom is investing in “Call of Lobster,” an action comedy starring Chang Chen and Choi Siwon, which is loosely based on the story of a Taiwanese lobster farmer. The project also receives backing from Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture. Additionally, the company is participating in the horror project “Demon of the East: Black Condo,” which is part of a cinematic universe spanning four Asian countries.
