MangoTV decided it didn’t want to let iQiyi, Tencent and Youku have all the fun in producing survival shows. The online video platform recently announced it is producing a new reality show with 30 female entertainers age 30 and up to form a girl group that transcends age. The show’s name is “乘风破浪的姐姐” (Chéngfēngpòlàng de jiějiě), which literally translates to “Older sisters riding the wind and waves”.
