Director of Dragon TV, Jin Lei (金磊), said there will be performances in Austria, France and Italy. Liu Wei is not expected to perform any concerts in the meantime, under a deal that has been made with Dragon TV.
Liu Wei, 23, who lost both his arms aged 10 when he was electrocuted during a game of hide-and-seek, defeated 7-year-old standup comedian Zhang Fengxi at the final of China's Got Talent at the Shanghai Stadium, the Shanghai Daily reported. The pianist, from Beijing, who taught himself to play the piano at age 18, impressed the audience with his performance of “You’re Beautiful,” singing and using his feet to play the piano.
He was also formerly a handicapped swimming champion.
The award ceremony also featured winners and finalists from the popular “Got Talent” series in Britain and the United States including British singer Paul Potts and dance group Diversity.
British music mogul Simon Cowell, best known as the former acerbic judge on “American Idol,” developed the TV format of “Got Talent” in Britain, the United States and Europe. He has become one of the most powerful entrepreneurs in reality TV.
The show’s director Jin Lei told the newspaper that the success of the show ensured it would continue next year.
