The fast development of technology has brought great changes to China’s media industry.It’s becoming difficult for Chinese TV entertainment programmes to get a high rating(收视率)easily as they did in the 1980s.
However,Zhejiang Satellite TV’s talent show The Voice of China became one of China’s hottest topics last year.The popular singing contest has helped turn some winners into hot stars,with a bright future ahead of them.Last year,I’m a Singer,another singing talent show of Hunan Satellite TV,had caught many people’s eyes,helping some once hot singers become popula again.
The Voice of China originares(起源)from The Voice of Holland.The show first started in Holland 4 years ago.Later the American television network NBC bought the copyrights(版权)to do a similar show in the U.S.Since then,the music talent show has become a hit in more than 50 countries around the world.I’m a Singer was one of the highest rating shows in South Korea in 2011.It was bought by Hunan Satellite TV from MBC,the South Korean television network later.
The success of The Voice of China and I’m a Singer has helped Chinese TV producers find that it’s a good way to buy the copyrights of some overseas TV shows and make them local programmes.Last year,they turned their eyes from singing to diving(跳水).Stars in Danger-High Dive produced by Jiangsu Satellite TV in the Water Cube is a celebrity (名人) diving talent show originating from Germany.Zhejiang Satellite TV’s Splash also comes from the TV show named Celebrity Splash in Holland.
