Jane Zhang

Pop singer Jane Zhang may sign with Sony Music to break into the international market. Her three-year contract with China's leading label, Huayi Brothers, expired at the end of 2008, a popular blogger revealed Wednesday.

"Jane Zhang is absolutely an A-lister in China, and Huayi Brothers can't meet her future demands. She needs a vast international stage," wrote the anonymous insider, who claims to be a celebrity manager and entertainment critic. "Sony Music has shown an intense interest in her. The details of the contract are under negotiation."

Yuan Tao, managing director of Huayi Brothers Music, told Sina that they are also negotiating with Zhang about extending the contract, and are expecting an outcome soon.

"Huayi Bros. has maintained a good relationship with Jane," Yuan said, "but business is business."

Jane Zhang, or Zhang Liangying, rocketed to stardom after her third-place finish in the 2005 hit talent show Super Girl, and has since had one of the most successful careers among the contestants. Her third album, "Jane@music" was released in January.
