Thirty-five artistes from MediaCorp and Channel U will join hands together in a historic moment to raise funds for Ren Ci Charity Show.
For the first time since MediaWorks was set up 4 years ago, Channel U and MediaCorp artistes will stand on the same stage and perform.
Following the announcement on Wed Dec 8 of the crossover of MediaWorks artistes to MediaCorp with effect from Jan 1, 2005, a press conference was held yesterday (Thurs Dec 9) for the Ren Ci Charity Show.
The show, benefiting Ren Ci Hospital and Medicare Centre, will be held at the University Cultural Centre and telecast ‘live’ on Jan 9, 2005 at 7.30pm on Channel U. The donation target for this annual charity event is $5 million and the extravaganza will be hosted by Quan Yifeng, Guo Liang and Chew Chor Meng.
At the press conference yesterday, Channel U artistes Guo Liang, Michelle Chia, Quan Yifeng, Ix Shen, Adam Chen, Constance Song, Wang Ailing, Darren Lim, Ann Kok, Lynn Poh, Apple Hong and Ezann Lee were reunited with their former (and future) colleagues MediaCorp artistes Xie Shaoguang, Jeanette Aw, Chen Hanwei, Jeff Wang, Allan Wu, Cynthia Koh, Phyllis Quek, Pierre Png and Vincent Ng.
Together, these 35 local artistes (15 from Channel U, 20 from MediaCorp) will perform 9 items which test their perseverance, determination, skill, and team work. Other local and overseas artistes A Do, JJ Lin Junjie, Fish Leong, Z Chen, Ritchie Ren and Nancy Sit will also lend a hand. A mysterious star is said to attend the charity show as well, but the organising committee is keeping it under wraps.
