A somewhat biased view on China…
A swing has been set on a 700ft high viewing platform on the TV tower in Harbin city, Heilongjiang province. That tower is known to be the world’s second-highest steel tower, after the Kiev tower in Ukraine.
The name of the swing is “Game for brave people”. The participants sit on a steel seat and swing above the city, beyond the edge of the platform.
Anyone wanna try this? Anyone already did?
According to China Daily (CRI), Wentworth Miller (alias Michael in Prison Break) has been invited to visit China in June by the Zhongbo Media Group. An official of Zhongbo said that Miller is coming to promote the Chinese version of Prison Break.
A Chinese version of Prison Break? What they are talking about is not a mere translation of the Prison Break TV Serie. They are working on a real Chinese version, with Chinese actors. Zhongbo bought the rights (1.2 million USD) to create an online video adaptation.
Miller is also invited to act as a final judge to select actors for the Chinese Prison Break, amongst them possibly some famous Chinese Podcasters.
The question now is how will they adapt the plotline to China? The main idea behind the plotline being that the government is totally corrupted and The Company is acted way above the standard law dictating the daily life of normal citizens. Which is of course not the case in China…
It seems that a large IT company will play the role of the bad guys instead of the FBI and the vice-president.

How much did Wentworth Miller get for endorsing the service? Zero.
