Filmmakers in China are hoping a reality TV show-turned-movie will be a Chinese New Year box office smash. But will people pay to go to the cinema to see what they have been watching by the millions at home for free? Dad, Where Are We Going? , about the relationships between celebrity fathers and their young children, and opening Friday (31 January 2014), is the latest Chinese TV program to attempt to cross over to the big screen, as entertainment companies try to capitalize on the success of hit shows. Last month, a fictionalized movie featuring contestants from Chinas version of the reality talent-search program, The Voice, hit the cinemas, but flopped. Dad, Where Are We Going? , originally based on a South Korean show, was a hit on Chinese television last year, with five celebrities including actors, a model and a director enthralling audiences as they attempted to look after their children. With busy schedules and living in a society that still regards childcare as womens work, most of the fathers were clueless about how to look after their kids. But they were given parenting tasks and touched viewers as they grew into their roles and learned how to cook.
