Dragon TV: China's Got Talent |
China's Got Talent (Chinese: 中国达人秀; literally: "China's Talent Show") is a Chinese reality television series on Dragon TV and a part of the Got Talent franchise, hosted by Cheng Lei. It is a talent show that features all different kinds of performances of all ages competing for performing contract with Fremantle Media and Sony Music Entertainment. The show is a joint production between FremantleMedia, Shanghai Media Group, Radio and TV Shanghai and Syco.
On January 17, 2011, DragonTV announced that series 2 of the show has been launched. DragonTV also announced that there will be two series of the show in 2011.
Before the auditions in front of the judges are held, there are separate untelevised producers' auditions which come to various provinces across China, some which will host the auditions held in malls, outside and inside small stages. (before July 19) (before July 22) This round is held several months before the judges' audition in Shanghai that would also host the televised second round. Acts that have made it through the producers' audition will then audition in front of the judges and a live audience. For series 3, the pre-auditions were televised for the first time.
The auditions take place in front of the judges and a live audience at Shanghai Concert Hall. At any time during the audition, the judges may show disapproval to the act by pressing a buzzer which lights a large red X on the stage. If all the judges press their buzzers, the act must end immediately. But sometimes the judges pressing X doesn't mean the judges do not like the performances or the act. It is a way to stop the performance as the judges had heard enough because China's Got Talent doesn't have the 90 seconds rule. Voting works on a best-of-three basis for series one through three. For series four, voting is based on best of four.
