A somewhat biased view on China…
A Chinese version of The Apprentice will start in May… Same, same but different!
While Donald Trump take the decision on who gets fired, here the decision will be take by the audiences! Who will be the next business leader will be chosen by the LaoBaiXing (老百姓)! Anyone will be allowed to vote through SMS for the two finalists while only the audience will chose The WINNER! This schema of SMS Voting had already been used for Super Girl. But I think that the targetted audience for Super Girl was much, much larger! hehehe…
The winner… In the original USA show, the winner would get a job at Donald Trump’s Real Estate company with a 6 figures salary. In the Chinese version, the winner will run a new business with a registered capital of 10 million yuan (1 million euros); the runner up 7 million yuan and the next three candidates 5 million yuan.
