Nicholas Tse is sole distributor of Faye Wong’s concert livestream

Fans of Chinese singer Faye Wong who did not manage to snag tickets to the singer’s one-night only concert, Faye’s Moments, in Shanghai, take heart: the concert will be available for free viewing on a livestream.

The singer announced the good news on Facebook yesterday (Dec 14) through a video where she said, “You will be able to feel the atmosphere of the concert wherever you are, I hope everyone will enjoy themselves”, appeasing many fans who could not afford the sky-rocketed price of her highly anticipated performance on the black market after failing to purchase it through traditional methods.

The livestream will feature a special 360 panoramic view of the arena and possible virtual-reality effects that will be done by the world’s biggest independent special effects company, Digital Domain.

Coincidentally—or not, Faye’s boyfriend and Hong Kong actor Nicholas Tse has a share in Digital Domain, and particularly in the special effects studio, DDPO, which is a subsidiary of Digital Domain, where he is responsible for growing the company using its expertise of 360 panorama video recording and virtual reality for concerts or sports events.

Although the couple have yet to work together since their reunion, fans can probably count this partnership as their only business affiliation with each other, other than a number of Faye’s Cantonese songs which are written by Nicholas.

The couple rekindled their love and reunited in 2014, 11 years after they first broke up.
