Greater China Media and Entertainment Corporation Announces Joint Venture With Mega Vision Productions Limited for 'Tough Guy' Movie
BEIJING, June 25, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Greater China Media and Entertainment Corporation (OTCBB:GCME) ('GCME'), an integrated professional media and entertainment company, today announced that it has signed a joint venture agreement with Mega Vision Productions Limited, ('Mega Vision') to produce a movie tentatively titled "Tough Guy". Mega Vision is a subsidiary of See Corporation Limited, a Hong Kong stock exchange-listed company.

The joint venture follows a recent announcement by the two companies to cooperate on the production and distribution of a 25-episode television series tentatively titled "True Love". As in the case of "True Love", famed director Wong Jing has been retained to supervise and edit "Tough Guy".

Under the terms of the joint venture, the total investment for "Tough Guy" will be approximately 7.5 million Chinese RMB (approximately US $1 million), with each company responsible for 50% of the investment and to be paid in four installments. GCME and Mega Vision will co-produce the movie and a third party will be responsible for its cinematography.

GCME will be responsible for distribution in mainland China excluding Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau. Mega Vision Productions will be responsible for distribution in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau and oversea markets. GCME will be entitled to 50% of the profits generated from the movie.

"We believe we have the ideal formula to further GCME's ambitions of becoming a leading media and entertainment company in the industry -- a strong partner in Mega Vision, an outstanding director and newly-named general consultant to GCME in Wong Jing and a strong group of actors and actresses," stated Jake Wei, chairman and CEO of Greater China Media and Entertainment Corporation. "Among the cast are Ye Liu, the acclaimed young actor from Mainland China, known for his bold performance in the movie 'Lan Yu' and Anthony Wong, a Hong Kong Film Awarded best actor. Their talents, when combined with the GCME-Mega Vision production capabilities, we believe, will ensure the success of 'Tough Guy.'"
