Chinese television production company Linmon Pictures is deepening its ties with the Thai entertainment industry, announcing two upcoming projects: “Under the Skin,” a Thai remake of popular Chinese series, alongside “The Fairest Lady,” marking Linmon’s debut Thai production. The projects were announced at a panel discussion on March 12 at Hong Kong’s FilMart.
During last year’s FilMart, Linmon Pictures revealed its initiative to adapt its successful female-led contemporary drama “Nothing but Thirty” in Thailand, Indonesia and Hong Kong, having previously licensed the remake rights to Korean pay TV network Jtbc.
Zhou Yuan, co-founder and executive vice president of Linmon Pictures, highlighted the company’s strategic decision to prioritize the region as their initial target market for international expansion, citing two key factors: the abundance of top-tier talent in the area and Thailand’s growing significance in the global media landscape.

Chinese TV producer Linmon Media struck a decidedly international tone during the presentation of its 2023-24 slate at FilMart, with presenters speaking about their Chinese-language projects in only English and Korean, and handing out sleek project literature in multiple languages.
Apart from a slate of romance, medical and crime dramas targeted at domestic audiences, the studio is actively remaking its hit female-led contemporary drama “Nothing but Thirty” in Thailand, Indonesia and Hong Kong, having previously licensed the remake rights to Korean pay TV network Jtbc.
The drama, which follows the lives of three women as they transition from their 20s into their 30s, is emblematic of the Linmon slate, which is heavy on female-centric contemporary romance dramas.
In exclusive comments to Variety, Linmon Media co-founder Zhou Yuan drew a clear line between franchising and co-producing localized versions of their titles.

Shanghai-based Linmon Pictures is preparing to go where few major Chinese TV studios venture — overseas.
On the second day of Hong Kong’s Filmart entertainment convention, the premium TV producer unveiled an ambitious plans for a slate of local-language TV projects targeting the Korean, Thai, Indonesian and Taiwanese markets. The company says it will produce at least 10 non-Chinese TV series for the Asia-Pacific region in the next two to three years.
The domestic Chinese TV audience is so enormous that few local private studios have bothered pursuing neighboring countries’ far smaller entertainment markets in any meaningful and consistent way. Linmon’s CEO Yuan Zhou says he began contemplating getting more involved internationally after Linmon began receiving a growing number of offers for remake rights from production companies from around the region.
“We’ve had a lot of demand from international platforms and distributors for our Chinese-language series,” Zhou says. “But...

Chinese TV producer Linmon Media has filed an application for an initial public offering in Hong Kong. It is the third time that the eight-year-old company has sought a stock market flotation.
The heavily-redacted draft prospectus, sponsored by Morgan Stanley and Cicc, does not reveal how much fresh capital the company aims to raise, nor the company’s anticipated valuation. The timetable for IPO is also not disclosed.
Linmon previously sought a listing on the mainland China A-share market and had a prior attempt at listing in Hong Kong late last year. Both applications were abandoned.
The company was founded back in 2014 by former Smg head of film Zhou Yuan, and co-founders Su Xiao, Chen Fei and Xu Xiao’ou. Now it claims to be the fourth largest TV producer in China in what is a highly fragmented market, and a market share of just 2.9.
