Last month, the group抯 backers raised more than Rmb1bn ($150m) from investors, eager to tap into a popularity that saw them sell 2m albums in China last year to teenage girls enamoured with their songs about romance, princesses and beach vacations. 中国正在崛起的女子偶像团体之一、位于上海的SNH48当然这么认为。去年SNH48向中国的少女们售出了200万张唱片，少女们对她们那些有关浪漫、公主和海滩度假的歌曲非常痴迷。上月，该团体的运营方向投资人融资逾10亿元人民币（合1.5亿美元），希望能在知名度上继续深耕。 Historically, Chinese teenagers have danced to imported music from Japan and South Korea. But last year’s ban on Korean music — triggered by Seoul’s decision to host a US missile shield as a defence against its hostile northern neighbour — opened up an opportunity for singers and savvy investors alike. 从历史上看，中国的青少年是随着进口的日韩音乐而起舞的。但是，去年限韩令——这是由于韩国决定引入一款美国导弹防御系统来防范其敌对的北方邻国而招致的——为歌手和精明的投资人提供了一个机遇。 “In the past few years, the Chinese pop music scene has grown rapidly through China’s own rich human resources and bold investment,” says Nick Pyo, a South Korean producer. “过去几年里，中国流行音乐行业借助其本国丰富的人力资源和大胆投资，实现了快速发展，”韩国制作人Nick Pyo表示。 Unlike western pop, which trades on authenticity and the idea of performers singing from the heart, SNH48 is run more like a tech start-up than a musical group. Taking its inspiration from Japanese group AKB48, instead of a core group it runs on teams of interchangeable singers ?a strategy managers hope will allow them to build generations of young female stars and longer-lasting revenue streams. 与以表演者发自内心歌唱为创意原则的西方流行音乐团体不同，SNH48的管理更像是一个创业型企业，而不是一个乐队。从日本团体AKB48那里获得灵感之后，SNH48不是依赖少数几名团队成员，而是使用多个彼此可以相互替换的歌手组合——经理希望这种策略将让他们打造出一代又一代的年轻偶像，带来更持久的现金流。 Fans vote for their favourite performers a
