Zhangzhou Opens Its First Dedicated Short-Drama Studio
A dedicated short-drama studio has opened in Zhangzhou, a city in Fujian province in southeastern China.
The facility has sets for scenes such as homes, cafés, hospitals, courts and banks, as well as costumes, props and production services.
The studio is run by Taiwanese-led He Le Films, which says it wants to connect talent and production across Fujian and Taiwan and help distribute work overseas.
Its chair, Zhuang Hanru, began building her film business in Zhangzhou in 2021.
Her short drama “Mian Mian Ju Dao zhi 101” was described as the Red Fruit platform’s first Taiwan-related short drama, and it received a positive response from viewers.
The company plans to draw on Minnan culture and shared cultural ties in future productions, while local officials hope film and tourism can support each other.
The studio is expected to support more short-drama production and cultural exchange, but no specific upcoming projects or timelines were announced.
Zhangzhou HeLe Film’s short-drama studio began operating on October 16 in Xiangcheng District, Zhangzhou, Fujian province.
The studio is Zhangzhou’s first professional short-drama live-action filming facility.
It offers sets including a villa, café, home, convenience store, hospital, courtroom, bank and office, along with costume and prop rentals.
The company says it aims to develop short dramas and connect talent, production and distribution across the Taiwan Strait and overseas.
Company chairwoman Zhuang Hanru said she began her film and television business in Zhangzhou in 2021.

Zhangzhou has never been a strange foreign place to me.
This cross-strait sense of closeness and belonging has made me feel from the bottom of my heart that this is a homeland where I can put down roots.
