"Wuhan will not be the last stop of this tour, because we had scheduled the tour until March. We are still negotiating terms to land it in Hainan, Fujian and Tianjin," said an official with the organizer.

    Ke Chaoping, general manager of Hangzhou Theater which held a successful Super Girls concert last year, said he was not interested in this year's tour. "They are asking a sky-high performance fee, despite the fact that people are not as keen on them as last year."

    Liu Xiaokang, who organized last year's Super Girls show in Beijing, said he watched one of this year's concert in Chengdu.

    "This year's production did not impress me much, but I decided to do it because the passion of fans put the box office on insurance. It's different now," said Liu.

    E.E. media said it hopes to take the brand to overseas markets by signing a contract with the China International Culture and Art Co.

    "We are still negotiating on terms for Super Girls concerts in the United States and Canada, certainly in regions with a big Chinese population," said a manager surnamed Du, who is responsible for finding venues for the tour overseas.

    Du confirmed Li Yuchun, the winner of last year's Super Girls contest, will appear in two concerts in Hong Kong on Jan. 2 and 3. "Li's participation is an assurance for the box office in Hong Kong," said Du.
