Passage 1 Chinese mainlands star-making reality TV show Happy Boy will not be open to male applicants from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau or other foreign cities, said the countrys top TV industry committee yesterday. Happy Boy is the male version of Super Girl, which is regarded as the Chinese version of American Idol.

The countrys State Administration of Radio, Film and Television approved the male version earlier this month.

The other four includes Chengdu and three undecided cities. The regulation spoiled Hunan TVs ambition to extend the series to the overseas market, an official with the TV station told the Hunan-based Xiaoxiang Morning yesterday. My Hero, another star-making reality show by Shanghais SMG Dragon TV, said it was not informed of the regulation, and it is still receiving foreign applicants, said an official with Dragon TV. A previous regulation by the administration has made clear that televised talent shows cant run for more than six weeks at a time. While the first Happy Boy may last for five months, according to a previous report. Last year there were about 10 influential star-making TV shows across the country, among which those from CCTV, Hunan Satellite TV and SMGs Dragon TV, were the most popular. Super Girl ran for almost five months and My Hero lasted four months. While the shows have proven popular, they have also earned many complaints from people who say they are crude and not satisfactory. 61. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
