The 2018 Billboard Music Awards will be shown in China as part of a new three-year pact struck but show producer Dick Clark Productions, Stx Entertainment and Chinese Internet giant Tencent. The deal is the third tie-up for the companies, which previously teamed to roll out the dcp-produced Golden Globes and Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest in the Middle Kingdom.

Stx Entertainment, the three-year-old independent studio that promised to have a slate of 12-15 mid-budget movies in a bid to become a mini-major, has let go Head of Postproduction David Candiff and eliminated his position, TheWrap has learned.
