“Versailles is the next step in the international co-production strategy we are now pursuing with our partners,” said Fabrice de la Patellière, Head of French Drama and Co-productions at Canal Plus. “This new season, that we aim to develop with renewed originality, will be a full-blown immersion into the absolute power of Louis XIV.”
Added Claude Chelli, Director of Capa Drama: “King Louis XIV ruled France for 72 years, so there are still many stories to be told, in the same style and with the same contemporary approach that we established in Season 1. So it is with great relish that for the second season, we are going to take the series into the realm of women, love potions and poisons.”
这部单镜头情景喜剧根据华裔美国厨师黄颐铭(Eddie Huang)的回忆录《初来乍到》改编,主要描述上世纪九十年代一个台湾家庭来到奥兰多定居的故事。黄颐铭的父母都是台湾移民,他从小就热爱美国的一切,尤其是嘻哈乐。他的父亲尚能很好地融入当地社会,但母亲却时常为白人文化感到困惑。他的父亲经营着一家全美国式的牛排餐厅连锁企业,和全家人一起憧憬着「美国梦」。与此同时,他们还要竭力保持自己的民族文化特性,确保家庭的完整。剧名「fresh off the boat」是一个俗语,通常泛指新一代去美国追求「美国梦」的移民。
