The Chinese stream

摘要

Later this month pptv, a Chinese on-line-video firm, will release a new reality show called "The Goddess Office" (pictured) about four young women living together in a house, trying to create their own e-commerce company. Viewers will be able to ask the stars questions and send them money and ideas for their startup. The show will employ familiar television elements: the comedic rapport of the characters in "Friends" and the commercial ambitions of contestants in "The Apprentice". But this "television" show will run exclusively online, rather than on a traditional tv network.
