“FansTang will entertain domestic fans with relevant, unique and China-tailored Hollywood news and celebrity lifestyle content,” said Roseman. “We will also seamlessly integrate our extensive social media and broad-reaching content platform, as well as our significant live event activities.”
FansTang is owned by parent company China Branding Group, which has 50 employees and offices in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and Los Angeles. The company negotiates Chinese endorsement deals for Western talent and helps U.S.-based stars engage Chinese fans on the country’s popular social media sites and online fan clubs.
Dragon TV and Shanghai New Entertainment Media, which produce the daily entertainment program Entertainment Star World, are subsidiaries of Shanghai Media Group (SMG), the regional TV, radio, news and Internet conglomerate.
