Alumni petition: USJ The U.S. Geological Survey says the magnitude-6.0 quake hit Saturday at a depth of 30 kilometers. It was centered 88 kilometers (55 miles) southeast P5 of Sinabang, a town on the ‘betrayed its soul’ east coast of Simeulue Island, which lies off the west coast of Sumatra island. In 2004, a massive earthquake off Sumatra triggered a tsunami that killed 230,000 people in a dozen countries. AP PHOTO PHILIPPINES A strong typhoon was blowing over the Pacific Ocean in the northeastern Philippines and may induce heavy rains, but is too far off to hit land, officials said. Typhoon Neoguri was blowing with sustained winds of 185 kilometers per hour and gusts of 220 kph late yesterday about 840 kilometers off Cagayan, a rice- and tobacco-producing province. The storm is expected to blow northwest and will be about 500 kilometers northeast of Batanes province in the Philippines’ northern tip today. It will then likely blow toward southern Japan later in the week.

  • Music-Based TV Talent Shows in China: Celebrity and Meritocracy in the Post-Reform Society
    Music-Based TV Talent Shows in China: Celebrity and Meritocracy in the Post-Reform Society by Wei Huang B. A., Huaqiao University, 2013 Extended Essays Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the School of Communication (Dual Degree in Global Communication) Faculty of Communication, Art & Technology © Wei Huang 2015 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2015 Approval Name: Wei Huang Degree: Master of Arts (Communication) Title: Music-Based TV Talent Shows in China: Celebrity and Meritocracy in the Post-Reform Society Examining Committee: Program Director: Yuezhi Zhao Professor Frederik Lesage Senior Supervisor Assistant Professor School of Communication Simon Fraser University Baohua Wang Supervisor Professor School of Communication Communication University of China Date Defended/Approved: August 31, 2015 ii Abstract Meritocracy refers to the idea that whatever our social position at birth, society should offer the means for those with the right “talent” to “rise to top.” In context of celebrity culture, it could refer to the idea that society should allow all of us to have an equal chance to become celebrities. This article argues that as a result of globalization and consumerism in the post-reform market economy, the genre of music-based TV talent shows has become one of the most popular TV genres in China and has at the same time become a vehicle of a neoliberal meritocratic ideology. The rise of the ideology of meritocracy accompanied the pace of market reform in post-1980s China and is influenced by the loss of social safety nets during China’s transition from a socialist to a market economy.

  • Press Release
    Press Release China’s hit reality show ‘Sing My Song’ back at The Venetian Macao Singer-songwriters from season 1 and 2 and celebrity mentors took to the stage of the Cotai Arena (Macao, March 19, 2015) – With The Venetian® Macao as the main sponsor, smash hit reality TV talent show “Sing My Song” returned to The Venetian® Macao’s Cotai Arena Thursday night to film "SONGS OF SPRING" 2015 SING MY SONG WORLD TOUR – MACAO. The concert which featured 16 contestants and two celebrity mentors will be broadcast on CCTV-3. The Macao concert is also the opening show of Sing My Song World Tour in 2015. Produced by Star China International Media Co. Ltd. and Starry Productions, “Sing My Song” has somewhat reinvented the musical reality genre by requiring contestants to perform their own compositions rather than covering other artists’ songs. The celebrity mentors on the night were renowned singer-song writer Tanya Chua and accomplished singer Emil Chow. The duo took the stage with the top 16 singer-songwriters from the studio-based talent show to perform some of their original songs as well as cover versions of some classic tunes such as “Missing is a kind of disease” and “Red high heel.” The very vocal crowd was absolutely thrilled by the wonderful performance. This reality TV series has revitalized the Chinese music industry and brought together the most talented singer-songwriters from China and abroad, including Singapore and the United States. The singer-songwriters who appeared as part of Sing My Song 2015 Macao Concert were all contestants from season 1 and 2 of the show.

    Are You a Good Chinese Musician? The Ritual Transmission of Social Norms in a Chinese Reality Music Talent Show Miaowen Zhou Master’s Thesis in East Asian Culture and History (EAST4591 - 60 Credits) Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Spring 2015 © Miaowen Zhou 2015 Are You a Good Chinese Musician? The Ritual Transmission of Social Norms of a Chinese Reality Music Talent Show http://www.duo.uio.no/ Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo II Abstract The sensational success of a Chinese reality music talent show, Super Girls’ Voice (SGV), in 2005 not only crowned many unknown Chinese girls/women with the hail of celebrity overnight, but also caused hot debates on many subjects including whether the show triggered cultural, even political democracy in China. 10 years have passed and China is in another heyday of reality music talent shows. However, the picture differs from before. For instance, not everybody can take part in it anymore. And the state television China Central Television (CCTV) joined the competition for market share. It actually became a competitive player of “reality” by claiming to find the best original and creative Chinese musicians whose voices CCTV previously avoided or oppressed. In this thesis, I will examine one CCTV show, The Song of China (SOC), in order to examine what the norms of good Chinese music and musicians are in the context of reality music talent shows. My work will hopefully give you some insights into the characteristics and the wider social and political influences of such reality music talent shows in the post-SGV era.

  • The Voice of China: Interactive Television and Participatory Audiences in Mainland China
    The Voice of China: Interactive Television and Participatory Audiences in Mainland China Xin Yao Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of Art, Media and American Studies March 2017 ©This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that no quotation from the thesis, nor any information derived there from, may be published without the author’s prior, written consent. Abstract In 2012, the most popular reality TV show in China was The Voice of China (TVoC). It is an adaptation of The Voice of Holland, the format of which has been traded to many countries. Unlike its international versions, audiences cannot vote in TVoC due to government regulations. This research focuses on audience engagement with TVoC (2012), in light of this crucial difference. To investigate how audiences engage and make meanings with the show, this thesis is the first study approaches audience engagement in China by examining the tensions between government media policies, industry strategies and audience reception. Building on existing literature on media convergence and participatory culture in the West, this thesis argues that Internet technologies alongside social media enable and stimulate individual critical thinking and creativities which resist structural constraints such as censorship and commercialisation. Although direct online political participation is censored in China, audiences express and negotiate power as ways to construct political values. These online engagements bring new perspectives to understand participatory culture and ‘empowerment’ of audiences. Using political economy frameworks, this thesis highlights the power of government media policies in shaping TV industry and media content.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Transformation of The Musical: The Hybridization of Tradition and Contemporary A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirement for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Music by Yu-Chun Hu 2014 Copyright by Yu-Chun Hu 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Transformation of The Musical: The Hybridization of Tradition and Contemporary by Yu-Chun Hu Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Ian Krouse, Chair Music and vision are undoubtedly connected to each other despite opera and film. In opera, music is the primary element, supported by the set and costumes. The set and costumes provide a visual interpretation of the music. In film, music and sound play a supporting role. Music and sound create an ambiance in films that aid in telling the story. I consider the musical to be an equal and reciprocal balance of music and vision. More importantly, a successful musical is defined by its plot, music, and visual elements, and how well they are integrated. Observing the transformation of the musical and analyzing many different genres of concert music, I realize that each new concept of transformation always blends traditional and contemporary elements, no matter how advanced the concept is or was at the time. Through my analysis of three musicals, I shed more light on where this ii transformation may be heading and what tradition may be replaced by a new concept, and vice versa. My monograph will be accompanied by a musical work, in which my ultimate goal as a composer is to transform the musical in the same way.
