Machado Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I know absolutely nothing about Chinese music. There are a few famous japanese and korean acts especially boybands and rock bands who made anime soundtracks but nothing from China. From a quick search the "cute pop" scene seems to also be a thing there. I never understood this eastern asian obsession with cute innocent looking women ahah. Hello Kitty probably has something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted August 13, 2020 Author Subscriber Share Posted August 13, 2020 Tencent don't want to promote Chinese music, they just want an entry point into an industry that doesn't have too much of their influence or presence right now. Universal offers that entry and over time, like everything else Tencent has put their fingers in, this will branch into other zones just because of how much financial backing the Chinese company has. I give it two years for all this shit to cool down and people to forget that TikTok was once Chinese owned before they start to push more international artists their way and fuck their Chinese music-scene agenda away when it comes to Universal's side of promotion work.

I can't see this selling the other way around where Universal have their operations globally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
