What happens

The Voice of China (Chinese: 中国好声音; pinyin: Zhōngguó Hǎo Shēngyīn) is a Chinese reality television singing competition broadcast on Zhejiang Television. Based on the original The Voice of Holland, the concept of the series is to find new singing talent (solo or duets) contested by aspiring singers drawn from public auditions. The winner is determined by votes cast by a media judging panel and live audience. They receive a record deal with various labels for winning the competition. The winners of the four seasons have been: Bruce Liang, Li Qi, Diamond Zhang, and Zhang Lei. The series employs a panel of four coaches who critique the artists' performances and guide their teams of selected artists through the remainder of the season. They also compete to ensure that their act wins the competition, thus making them the winning coach. Members of the coaching panel include Na Ying (season 1–4), Harlem Yu (season 1–2, 4), Yang Kun (season 1, 3), Liu Huan (season 1), A-mei (season 2), Wang Feng (season 2–4), Chyi Chin (season 3), and Jay Chou (season 4). The show began airing under the name of The Voice of China on 13 July 2012. In 2016, contractual disputes arose between Talpa Holding, the owner of the show's format and franchise, and Canxing Production, the show's producing company. It was revealed the former has inked a joint venture with another producing company, Talent International, to produce the upcoming seasons of the show. In a response to the dispute and prevent copyright breaches, Canxing Productions launched Sing! China, a rebranded version of the show which the producers claimed to come with an original format, though it still shares several similarities with The Voice of China. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
