Unoptimistic Future Environment

    The first season of Korean 「Produce 101」 witnessed a birth of a nation’s girl group called I.O.I. Tencent also has the ambition to create the first successful Chinese girl group, so it prepares 600 million RMB as a funding budget of the whole program.

The stage design of "Pd 101 China" is all the same with Korean version.

Currently, a majority of Chinese girl groups tend to imitate Korean and Japanese style in dress up, make up and also choreography. Without a mature sharing stage and music paid download market, though Tencent is confident, many related experts are still questioning the future for Chinese girl groups.

Zhang Shaogang, a famous Chinese media practitioner said, 「I am not sure whether Chinese entertainment companys has already prepared well to welcome these girls.」 Without a positive industry environment, the former girl groups did not gain a success.

In a documentary called 「girl group」, the main host Huang Zitao directly pointed out the weaknesses of Chinese entertainment industry, 「A lot of managers and producers don’t truly understand the current Chinese market. They only copy the format from Korea and Japan. That’s why there is no successful or famous Chinese girl group.」
