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.
