Former CCTV soccer commentator Huang Jianxiang has drawn wide attention since he resigned from CCTV. Many provincial stations like Hunan TV and Chongqing TV have reportedly tried all means to entice this famous star to join their forces. Now even a music company is showing intense interest.
Sina.com reported on Friday that Huayi Brothers Music Company's general manager, Yuan Tao, said Huang Jianxiang would probably sign a contract with Huayi this year to officially enter the showbiz industry.
Yuan revealed that Huang has recently talked about cooperation with two top executives of Huayi Brothers. If he signs the contract, Huayi Brothers will take charge of all of Huang's other projects besides his TV host job.
Huayi has planned to tailor a song called Fight Like A Man for Huang to perform, with the same title as his published biography.
