Asia Society to honor Fosun and Studio 8
Asia Society Southern California is pleased to announce it will honor Fosun International and Studio 8 with the 2014 Film Partnership of the Year award at the U.S.-China Film Summit Gala Dinner on November 5. Fosun’s stake in Studio 8 marks the biggest Chinese investment in U.S. film production.
Maggie Huang, Managing Director of Fosun’s entertainment division, and Jeff Robinov, Founder of Studio 8, will accept the award.
Fosun and Studio 8 are the second group of Asia Society honorees who exemplify the accelerating integration between Hollywood and China. As previously announced, three of China’s biggest and most-respected stars – Zhao Wei, Huang Xiaoming and Tong Dawei – will receive the 2014 Film Ensemble of the Year award for their latest work, Hollywood Adventures, a Chinese film that is being made in America. A genuine cross-border collaboration, the film is bilingual and written, produced and financed by both Chinese and Americans.
