渾然不知自己已死的吳爸爸來到陰間機場，卻因為沒有女兒的眼淚而無法投胎。為了讓吳爸成功投胎，地獄使者將出差人間，在投胎班機起飛前，想辦法讓不孝女小月哭出，否則，吳爸爸將永遠困在地獄中。
Wei Chong, a reaper from hell, notorious for her ability to torture sinners in the most heinous ways, has finally accumulated enough “credits” for a “first-class” reincarnation after a century of endeavor. But due to a sleazy executioner’s tainted history, she is demoted to the most despised department—the Tear Collection Unit(TCU). To turn things around, so she can reincarnate into a good wealthy family, Wei Chong must cooperate with Zhang Ming-Ming, the head of the TCU, who is stranded in the human realm. They are tasked to help the “Tearless Souls” that cannot reincarnate—because they have no one to cry for them. In this process, Wei Chong is moved by Zhang Ming Ming, who seems to have a knack for seeing through these “Tearless Souls.” Gradually, she begins to see them differently and realizes that she and Zhang Ming-Ming are but two people trapped by the tragedies of their previous lives. To save Zhang Ming-Ming, who is on the brink of despair due to his past, Wei Chong must come face to face with the demon who taunts past regrets and is forced to confront her own devastating past life.

Five Series Pitched at Series Mania as Taiwan Strengthens its Claim in Chinese-Language TV Production

Taiwan has become a go-to destination for Chinese language series production over the past few years, as international streamers have taken the initiative and as the local content trend has become entrenched in Asia.
While some of Taiwan’s advantage may have been handed to it as a result of regional political factors, the movement has led to greater interest in Taiwan stories, both historical and modern. Five Taiwan TV projects are being pitched at Series Mania, that are deemed to have international appeal according to Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA), a government-backed agency that has become noticeably proactive over roughly the same period. “Bubble Battle,” a seven-episode drama from Pixelfly Digital Effects, riffs on the enduring Taiwanese (and East Asian) infatuation with bubble tea (tea with chewy tapioca balls, or other toppings, known as pearls or boba). It charts an upstart pair’s multiple attempts to operate a bubble tea shop, come up with a unique selling point, and cope with success. When success arrives, it is followed by intense rivalry from competitors and former friends. Writers on the show are Rock Chang and Kasim Tung.
Renegades Entertainment’s “Judoka” is the simplest pitch. Proposed as an eight-episode series, the sports romance action series sees a washed up Taiwanese judo player fall in love with a North Korean female gold medallist. In order to meet again they must both win and there are obstacles in the way for each of them. The show is written by Kay Chen and Zhuang Rong-zuo with direction by Tom YC Lee and Jae Yang. The show was previously pitched at Series Mania last November during the Taiwan Creative Content Fest (TCCF).
Studio 76’s “Brides Town” has something of “The Handmaid’s Tale” about it. A sci-fi, suspense, drama, it is set in an isolated castle like town where young women are groomed to become perfect women and eventually perfect brides. But after understanding that they are being manipulated the women attempt to stand up for themselves. The six-episode show is written by Fan Chichi and Ariel Wang. No director is yet attached.
Produced and directed by Jae Yang, and written by Chen Fang-chi and Lee Chuan-yang, “Cry Me Through Hell” is a fantasy-family-romance series expected to run to ten episodes, from Starry Entertainment. The story follows a female grim reaper who has been unleashing the most heinous tortures on sinners for over a century in order to earn enough credits for a first-class reincarnation. Instead, she is demoted to the tear collection unit, where she must cooperate with its sleazy boss. Eventually, the woman begins to analyze and understand her predicament, save her boss and confront the depths of her own past life that led her to hell in the first place.
“Morakot” takes its title from the 2009 typhoon that struck Taiwan and is recorded as the most severe the island has ever experienced. The story sees a woman doctor return at the head of a search and rescue team to the home she left ten years earlier. What they find is not just structural damage, but a population that seems to have disappeared leaving strange traces of an alternative civilization. As the international team probes the mystery, they die off one by one. The eight-episode suspense series is written by Francesca Lin and produced by Amy Ma and Eric Chen of MA Studios and 109 Studios.
The TAICCA-backed Taiwan Pavilion sees a total of 32 Taiwanese companies offering 73 projects, both completed and in development for consideration by international producers and financiers. Series Mania’s IP Pitch: Book to Screen has also selected Ching Ling Foo: The Second Greatest Magician of All Time, from The Grayhawk Agency, to present alongside four other international titles.
“Both Series Mania and TAICCA share a vision of getting beyond a limited focus on trade to enriching the global audiovisual ecosystem. Through exchange visits from representatives of both sides and joint project selection for the pitching forum, close collaboration furthers the connection of Taiwan’s industry to its international partners,” said TAICCA’s CEO Izero Lee in a prepared statement.

楊婕 Jae YANG 2023/04/01(六)：「我今天早上六點才剛下飛機，從法國參加Series Mania 回來。我雖然支持罷工，卻還是在心裡一直祈禱希望不會影響到回來的交通，因為我一直都非常期待能夠從小棣老師手上接下這個獎。我小學第一篇看劇心得報告，寫的就是王小棣老師導演的《赴宴》。到後來小棣老師成立「植劇場」，大破大立去做出真的能讓產業滾動發生質變的事情，一直都讓我十分尊敬。今天能從小棣老師手上接下這個獎，對我而言著實意義非凡。
《地獄催淚部》是我四年前開始開發的影集，為了要找到故事的核心，並具象化奇幻世界觀。我們兩年前開始規劃短片的拍攝，可能年紀還不夠大，所以覺得四年已經很長了，四年是1460天。支撐著這1460 天的，是比我還頑固，相信這個故事並絕不放棄的編劇李權洋，還有77陳芳齊，77今天有來到現場。還有支持我做我喜歡的事，永遠最忠實的觀眾的爸爸媽媽。是我超級能扛的好戰友英傑哆影業的夥伴們與認真負責不畏艱難的製作團隊。是「短片實驗室」的老師們和耿瑜導演。比起拍出什麼樣的作品，更在意我們想成為什麼樣的創作者，做什麼樣的人。以及了不起的演員：方郁婷、馬念先、王渝萱、北安老師、胡世恩，還有金士傑老師。 我以前讀政大廣電系的老師，廖桑也在現場，老師以前看我的片會打瞌睡，現在還可以看得完吧？《地獄催淚部》的短片說得是驕傲頑固的女兒終於願意原諒自己回家與父親和解的故事，也是我寫給電影的魔法情書。我每次來到這裡都覺得很感動，真的會有回到電影的家感覺。也知道我家有了不起的電影和偉大的電影工作者們。奮鬥的路上，我從來不孤獨。謝謝大家。」
