TVB held a strategic partnership launch today with Tencent Music Entertainment Group, announcing a collaboration to build a one-stop Cantonese music and cultural ecosystem within the Greater Bay Area, launching the first flagship music programme 《大灣區勁歌金榜》, as well as large-scale live concerts held every three months and holding the 《大灣區勁歌金曲頒獎典禮》. Kenneth Ma, Alice Chan, Moon Lau, Hera Chan, MYNT, a group of singers from "Stars Academy" and "Midlife, Sing & Shine!", et al. were in attendance; it was a lively scene.
When it was pointed out that Kenneth, who has been doing frequent stage performances recently, has impressive singing skills, he immediately dismissed the notion, telling everyone to not get the wrong idea. He also rarely sings theme songs: "In terms of music, this partnership is very helpful. The music in a series is very important--whether it's the theme songs, the interludes, or the background music; thus, as artistes, we greatly support it. (Recommend yourself to sing the theme song?) Would not. I would never recommend myself to sing for TVB series. (Would for projects outside of TVB?) But no one has asked me. I'm only part-time...leave it to the professional singers".
Mentioning that he previously held concerts in Mainland with Edwin Siu and Raymond Cho, would he follow TVB in holding a live concert? He frankly said, "Don't know if they're interested. I am just following the two big brothers; you'd have to ask them". As for Alice, she revealed that she did a stage performance in the US with Kenneth and Shaun Tam last month, laughingly saying that she followed Kenneth, letting him call the shots, and pointed out that he was the main singer. Kenneth modestly said, "I'm just doing it to make a living!" When asked if he would want to be a newcomer in the Greater Bay Area, he laughingly said, "Get a newcomer award at this age?" Alice pointed out that he might contend for the 'Most Improved' award. Kenneth countered by praising Alice's singing as being very nice to listen to, pushing her to be a female newcomer: "She has many go-to songs; she sings Anita Mui's songs". Alice said that she still has a lot of room for improvement: "Now proactively practicing and taking singing lessons. Hope to sing in front of audiences across the Greater Bay Area. (Would [you] want to sing the theme song for a series?) Would only have a chance if I were starring in the series. (How about 'The Ideal Lawyers'?) Using instrumental music as the theme is currently the trend. (How about the interlude?) Would [if] the feel is right; however, having the producer find that it's suitable is the most important thing. We don't get to decide. Besides, the series has Gallen Lo...have to leave it to him to sing it. (You guys can duet?) See if he is willing to accept it or not".
In addition, talking about TVB's collaboration with Tencent Video, which involves adapting several of its classic series into short horizontal dramas, Alice views it as a good thing: "Happy. Now, short dramas are the trend. Everyone does not have to stay home to watch TV; also able to watch on the phone while on the go or commuting...it's very convenient. Even more people can see our performances". (Which series would [you] like to remake?) I want to shoot with Kenneth". Kenneth wants to remake "The Exorcist's Meter" or "Big White Duel", but does not know whether the subject matter is suitable for Mainland.
