Series 5 of "China's Got Talent," officially kicked off with a press conference in Beijing on Tuesday.

Tecent video has become a strategic partner of the program this year, which is produced by dragon TV.

Chinese actor Liu Ye will be a judge of the show. However, as he's busy shooting his new film in New York, he appeared at the conference via video to express his excitement at joining the program.

Chinese actress and film director Zhao Wei will also be a judge of new series of the program. Talking about the show, she said, "I consider that it's a really interesting program as it could broaden my eyes. It allows me to see things that I have not seen before, in which I believe the TV audience finds interest in. Besides, it's been a long time that I haven't met my TV audiences. To me it's a familiar platform. And I hope it's a happy platform."

The program will be broadcast from the beginning of December.
