Shanghai Media Group subsidiary, WingsMedia, and Europe-based streaming platform Rakuten TV rolled out France’s first Chinese FAST channel this month as part of China’s ongoing “go global” strategy. The channel is also available in Belgium and Luxembourg. Plans are to take the new channel across Europe. 

Bo Zhang’s Paris-based Bolytics brokered the deal for C-Drama NOW (Magnolia Time) FAST Channel, which launched with Chinese dramas, such as "A Good Life", dubbed in French. The line-up also includes "A World for Two" and "Go Lala Goes Up" from Shangshi Pictures. The launch announcement mentioned contemporary Chinese blockbusters "The Detective Jane Doesn’t Know" and "Mountains and Seas".
