Production Consulting Turns into Enthusiastic Classroom!
Over 80 people were brought together to form the production team, which traveled to 6 cities (Changsha, Xining, Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing, and Harbin) during 2 months to film over 100 first-time errands. A producer and a cameraman were brought in from Japan in an effort to learn the program's concept, the meticulous filming techniques, and the excellent program structuring. The consulting sessions, which spanned several days, resembled a very enthusiastic classroom.
The "Old Enough!" format has been licensed and broadcast in Italy (2008) and Britain (2009) and has been airing continuously in Vietnam as a regular weekly show since 2011.
