A Movie Collaboration
By Greenie Hsiao and Sharon Chew
SINGAPORE (4 May 2007)—Local Chinese daily Lianhe Wanbao reported that homegrown singer, Sun Ho, is in talks with famed movie producer, Jack Neo, both of whom are planning to make a movie based on the singer’s childhood. The duo is collaborating on a storyline that will focus on Sun’s childhood. She was initially approached by the same movie producer to star in one of his earlier films, but their schedules could not meet.
Earlier this year, just before the release of her latest Mandarin album in March, a local tabloid revealed intimate details of the singer’s childhood abuse. The news created a furor among the local community and the recording artist was suddenly ushered into the spotlight. However, the counselor-singer disclosed that if her story could help more people, she would be very willing to share her life story and let it be used as a movie script. The singer also shared how she decided to take up singing as a full time career upon the encouragement of her recording company director as her main aim was to help others through her music. |
