Production of $2.7 Million-per-Episode: South Korean Crypto-Related TV Drama Series Is Set to Start in 2021

Production_of_2_7_Million_per_Episode_South_Korean_Crypto_Related

A major South Korean TV series with crypto and blockchain-related topics is set to launch its production stage at the beginning of 2021, directed by Gemstone Film, in collaboration with firms in China and the United States.

South Korean Crypto-Related TV Drama Series ‘Pumping Time’ Is Set to Start in 2021

According to Financial News, “Pumping Time,” the tentative name for the drama series, is planned for a total of 10 seasons with 20 episodes per each one. The producers estimate that each episode will have a duration of 30 minutes.

Gemstone Film will allocate an ambitious budget of $2.7 million per episode. Although they didn’t provide full details on the drama series’s stories, the producers gave some hints about the topics to be featured, such as crypto-related frauds, blockchain technologies, and central bank digital currencies (CBDC).

K-Play Content financially backs the production, and the producers already hired Choi Wan-kyu, a well-known drama writer in South Korea, who will be leading the creative aspect of the drama series.

Financial News claims there are “top stars” from South Korea, China, and the US who are already in talks to work in the production, together with “celebrities in the existing cryptocurrency industry” who are expected to appear in cameos “for more fun.”

The producers also stated they’re expecting to launch trailers that feature crypto and blockchain topics to educate people about the matter.

K-Pop Singers Also Featuring Crypto-Themed Series in South Korea

Similar productions have been made in South Korea, but this is the first one that allocates a whopping budget. Back on July 23, 2020, Cho Hyun-young, a K-pop singer and actress, was announced as the new member of the cast of a crypto-themed series that features a raid of a fictional local crypto exchange.

Pumping Time is set to be launched at any point in 2021, whose production will start in January 2021. However, it has been planned since “a long time ago,” said Financial News, but as happened with many TV productions across the globe, Gemstone Film halted the series’ production due to the current global circumstances in the wake of the pandemic.

What do you think about the interest of the entertainment sector in featuring crypto topics in TV series? Let us know in the comments section below.

The Congolese Mountain of Gold: Surprise Discovery in Africa Shows Metal’s Scarcity Is Hard to Prove

A myriad of gold bugs like to compliment the yellow precious metal for its ostensible scarcity, as estimates say only 2,500 to 3,000 tons of new gold is produced annually. While new gold discoveries have seemingly slowed, investigative studies also show that in some areas, gold is being smuggled into the economy by the ton, and often never accounted for as far as per annum issuance estimates. Recently, reports show a whole mountain of gold was discovered in the Congo, as the Democratic Republic of the Congo is well known for being a region that sees tons of smuggled gold filtered into the global financial system unreported. Surprise Gold Deposits Continue to Crack the Precious Metal’s Scarcity Proposition It has always been said that the precious metal gold (Au) is scarce, and some reports even say that gold mining on earth will end by the year 2050 .
