How Tencent Music Entertainment Supports Indie Musicians on Streaming Platform During the Pandemic

Leave a comment

SHENZHEN, China, July 24, 2020 — Tencent Music Entertainment Group (TME) (NYSE: TME), the leading online music entertainment platform in China, today celebrates three years of achievements in artist support by its indie musician program, Tencent Musician.

Since it launched three years ago, Tencent Musician has provided powerful backing for musicians to continue their creation. The program has generated 590 million yuan in revenue for original music content creators since its inception.

Both before and since the COVID-19 pandemic swept across the world, Tencent Musician has run the “One Hundred Million Yuan Incentive Project”, which was later followed by the “One Hundred Million Yuan Incentive Project 2.0”, a more sustainable and upgraded project. The One Hundred Million Yuan Incentive Project has opened up a new model for musicians to generate, or increase, their incomes via a variety of incentive methods. According to data from the One Hundred Million Yuan Incentive Project 1.0, more than 40 percent of the musicians who enjoyed exclusive incentives were able to double their incomes, while over 80 percent saw their incomes rise by more than 50 percent.

In the first half of 2020, to support musicians and to provide music entertainment for the public amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which had caused live music performances to be cancelled, Tencent Musician organized 50 live-streamed concerts with 109 groups of musicians that reached an audience of nearly 8 million people.

Leveraging Tencent Musician and the TME ecosystem, TME provides support for indie musicians in three ways:

  • Taking advantage of TME’s 800 million monthly active users, TME helps generate traffic for musicians, increasing their exposure and building audience awareness. As of July 24, 2020, total playbacks exceeded 400 billion across TME platforms, while the amount of original music reached 850,000 songs.
  • Through income support projects and incentive plans, TME continues to boost the income levels of musicians, as mentioned above.
  • TME holds industry seminars for musicians to discuss different industry phenomena and topics. During the pandemic, Tencent Musician launched a campaign to gather a collection of original charity songs, which received responses from thousands of musicians with more than 2,000 songs. The music collection provided important moral support in the fight against the pandemic.

In addition, TME attaches great importance to opening up performing opportunities for musicians. For the offline celebration events of the fourth anniversary of TME, the company tailored an interactive session for Tencent musicians to perform for the public.

Within just four years since inception, TME was able to achieve a steady sustainable growth and to successfully list in the U.S. as a leading enterprise in the China music industry and a globally recognized presenter of Chinese music. Through its diversified music social entertainment products, TME creates a listening, watching, singing, performing and socializing all-in-one music entertainment experience and allows users to participate in music creation, appreciation, sharing and interaction.

TME is building a comprehensive social community to connect and benefit users, record companies, and talented musicians. In addition to Tencent Musician, all of the other programs and platforms under TME cooperate with each other and third-party music labels to support different types of musicians, illustrating the openness and inclusiveness for original music.

Tencent Music Entertainment Group (NYSE: TME) is the leading online music entertainment platform in China, operating the country’s highly popular and innovative music apps: QQ Music, Kugou Music, Kuwo Music and WeSing.

Dynamic Communities Continues Upgrades to Community, Event Technologies Amid COVID-19 Pandemic

New, More Robust Community and Event Engagement Platforms Among Technology Investments

TAMPA, Florida, July 24, 2020 — After months of acceleration and investments in new technologies aimed at improving the user experience of the global community, Dynamic Communities today revealed the introduction of several new upgrades across the member/partner and event experience platforms.

Prior  to the COVID-19 pandemic, Dynamic Communities had begun forming relationships with technology disruptors in pursuit of a more robust and responsive community platform on which community members could more easily share, learn, and grow. In the coming months, the member platform will transition to a sleeker, more modern interface on the Verint enterprise collaboration and community software platform. Benefits of Verint include mobile responsiveness, a fully customizable interface with content relevant to each unique user, partner-focused content accessibility, a robust and searchable content library, and special interest group (SIG) community options, including manufacturing, distribution, cybersecurity, Internet of Things, and more.

"After an extensive search and vetting process, we are thrilled to share Dynamic Communities’ strategic plans to enhance the user experience for our entire global community. In particular, our investment in the Verint software platform will enable us to offer greater value to user and partner members through 24/7, year-round access to online community resources," said Robert Schwartz, CEO of Dynamic Communities. "We are committed to providing more opportunities for continuous collaboration, education, professional development, and business growth to all members, whether in-person or virtual."

Upgraded Event Experiences

In May, Dynamic Communities rolled out Bizzabo, in partnership with Kaltura, two of the industry’s leading virtual event management platforms. This virtual experience solution will enable Dynamic Communities to offer live webcasts, real-time chat, networking opportunities, question-and-answer sessions, and other robust engagement tools designed to make virtual events valuable, educational and memorable.

The flagship events for Dynamic Communities, Community Summit Europe, Community Summit North America and Community Summit Australia, have also undergone significant upgrades to accommodate the transition from in-person to virtual events.

Dynamic Communities will continue to build on the momentum of these technology investments by introducing Map Your Show (MYS) to Community Summit Australia attendees. This platform, in conjunction with Bizzabo, offers a mobile-responsive design and 24/7, real-time feedback that enables partners and members to access content and comprehensive profiling from a digital platform. These solutions allow Dynamic Communities to offer virtual attendees a more curated and personalized event experience.

Those attending Community Summit North America later this year have the option to attend the event in-person in Nashville or virtually. To accommodate this new hybrid attendance model, Dynamic Communities will roll out another software upgrade in vFairs. vFairs allows technology partners to create unique personas and also offers content collaboration and sharing between members, partners, and prospects – without requiring a physical presence in the Expo Hall.

Dynamic Communities has been working diligently to better understand the needs of the global community over the last 18 months and is proud to offer members a more fulfilling experience despite the changes inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, members will also be able to experience a refreshed digital presence from Dynamic Communities, featuring a modernized website and a continued commitment to offering exceptional value for memberships, event attendance, and partner opportunities.

About Dynamic Communities

Dynamic Communities is the world’s largest community provider for users and partners of top technology solutions. Powered by a combination of content grounded in real-world experience, signature events, and expert-driven education at a global scale that can’t be found anywhere else, Dynamic Communities is committed to creating opportunities to develop and engage all community members.

As an online browser-based education platform within the myViewBoard ecosystem, myViewBoard Classroom is a purpose-built solution designed with the teacher in mind first, rather than technology lead philosophy to assist educators in this new era of hybrid learning. The launch of myViewBoard Classroom comes as schools grapple with reopening schools and what that new reality will look like. Whether educators are in the classroom, teaching from home, or reaching students via a combination of both methods, hybrid learning techniques will continue to play an essential role given the “new normal” in education.

myViewBoard Classroom is a purpose-built solution designed with the teacher in mind first, rather than technology lead philosophy to assist educators in this new era of hybrid learning.

“The pandemic has forever changed our world and affected all aspects of our lives. In education, teachers are oscillating between virtual and physical classrooms. However, the tools they used for distance learning at the beginning of the school closures are often not transferable to the physical classroom when on-site learning is required,” said Craig Scott, CTO at ViewSonic. “We have made it our mission to develop a hybrid teaching tool that provides a seamless transition between the physical and virtual spaces and offers teachers the capabilities to continue inspiring their students with engaging lessons regardless of location.”

myViewBoard Classroom is a collaborative tool for delivering education content that enables visual learning, and participation for a full class, individuals, or groups of students. It is ideal for traditional front of class teaching, flipped classrooms, blended teaching pedagogy, and online learning. With the ability to conduct group collaboration, manage a virtual classroom with video conferencing tools, and secure user participation, myViewBoard Classroom provides an engaging and collaborative learning environment. 

myViewBoard Classroom comes complete with a digital whiteboard canvas, to prepare and present content in real-time. Teachers control when students can ask questions, or make comments, as well as manage who may display their screens to the class for presentations. Student participation is encouraged via the Hand Raise push-to-talk feature and student access to remote writing tools. Independent breakout group discussions are made possible with virtual grouping, allowing real-time annotation and quizzes. Additionally, a low bandwidth feature ensures functions perform well, even when the Internet connection is weak.

In a show of support for schools during the initial outbreak, ViewSonic provides myViewBoard free-of-charge to K12 schools, colleges, and universities as of March 2020. After receiving positive feedback from schools and educators, ViewSonic decided to make myViewBoard Entity for education complimentary to all education institutions permanently*.

Color Star Technology Announces the Addition of Renowned Music Producer Xiuzhu Chen and Dancer Bowan Wang to its list of Star Teachers on its Planned Color World Platform

Leave a comment

NEW YORK, July 23, 2020 –Color Star Technology Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq CM: HHT) (the "Company," "we" or "HHT"), a company engaged in the business of providing innovative education services, is pleased announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Color China Entertainment Limited ("Color China") has entered into cooperation agreements with Xiuzhu Chen, a renowned Asian music producer, and Bowan Wang, a renowned Asian dancer to serve as "Star Teachers" on its planned online education platform "Color World".

Xiuzhu Chen is a well-known music producer with over 20 years of experience, beginning her career in pop music in 1988. She has participated in the recording of more than one thousand songs. In addition, she has also been featured in numerous movie soundtracks as well as television commercial songs, some of which were used in Disney films and on the Disney channel. These experiences and qualifications have built a solid foundation for her career in music and have qualified her to be in charge of the training sessions of multiple record companies over the past 20 years. She has also taught countless artists. After 2000, she began to accept invitations from various fields in China, ranging from music productions to television shows, serving as the trainer, music consultant and director. In "Super Boys," a popular singing contest show on Hunan TV in 2013, she trained 66 people, including Chenyu Hua, one the most popular singers in China today.

In 2013, she was invited to act as a judge on the "Super Idol" show of Sanli TV, additionally, she is still active in both Hong Kong and mainland China today, serving as both a music producer and vocalist. In 2018, she served as the vocal director of a music show, "The War of Music" on Tencent and was awarded the "Most Trendy Vocal Guide" award.

Xiuzhu has signed a contract with Color China to serve as a Star Teacher on Color World. With Xiuzhu’s experience in pop music, she differs from traditional vocal teachers in her vocal training and teaching methods. We believe that students will be able to learn and benefit from her courses in music production, vocal guidance and singing.

As a renowned dancer in Taiwan, Bowan Wang’s wonderful presentation of the art of dancing and unique understanding of choreography will now be available to all students. With her rich emotional expression and clever rhythmic control, Bowan’s talents have been fully recognized on and off the stage. Bowan has performed as a dancer at performances by famous singers such as Jay Chou, Ni Zhen, Yuqing Fei, Qin Cai and Yilian Lin. She also played significant roles in Jingru Liang’s concerts, Miss Asia’s final dance choreography, and the dance choreography of multiple high-end commercial activities, and more. With her various accomplishments, Bowan is an experienced dancer with a deep heritage, who brings with her a comprehensive technical interpretation and dimensional expression. During her 25-year dancer career, Bowan has served as judge for dance competitions in various colleges and universities on numerous occasions, helping a large number of excellent dance practitioners. Bowan has also expressed her strong enthusiasm to be an instructor on Color World, and to finally have the opportunity to share her years of experience with the next generation of dancers and to do something for the dance industry that she loves.

Our planned courses will focus on integrating renowned teachers with online entertainment and education and are intended to break free from traditional teaching models. We believe that our planned interactive and comprehensive educational courses will greatly spur multi-direction growth for students. We also plan that Color World will provide outstanding students with more opportunities to participate in various activities at our offline entertainment base, as well as a star-level model which will provide our users and students with a ladder to enter the entertainment industry quickly.

We are honored to cooperate with Xiuzhu Chen and Bowan Wang. In the future, we anticipate to continue to sign contracts with more Chinese and international artists in music, film, sports, animation, television, presentation, dance, art and other entertainment fields as Star Teachers on Color World.

We believe that the famous stars and professional instructors we invite onto Color World can share their valuable experiences with students around the world, so that more students can experience the charm of learning. The launch of Color World will also open a whole new level of the online education of entertainment. Unlike other traditional education platforms, we pay more attention to the professional learning experience of our students by inviting professionals of each field to share their professional career experience. In order to provide the most effective learning environment with precision, we plan for our platform to include level subdivisions, and list numerous Star Teachers in fields ranging from film and television programs to music production. Users will be able to register online and choose their favorite instructors, as well as conduct online learning exchanges.

This new integration connects directly to maaiiconnect’s live chat feature, creating new customer chats within the maaiiconnect all-in-one interface.
