The Hi-5 show is organized by Tremendous Entertainment Group and is co-organized by Base Entertainment Malaysia. It is
brought to us by HSBC Malaysia and
supported by Malaysia Major Events
(MME), a division of Malaysia
Convention & Exhibition Bureau (MYCEB) an agency under the Ministry Of Tourism and Culture Malaysia.
The official airline loyalty is enriched by Malaysian Airlines and the official television station is Disney Junior.
Our team from wljack.com has
been given a golden opportunity to attend the press conference of “Hi-5 Fairytale in Malaysia” which was held
on 8th September 2016.
Datuk
Jared Lim, Chairman of Trememndous Entertainment Group says “We are proud to
continue our longstanding tradition of bringing high-quality, family oriented
shows to Malaysia. The Hi-5 Fairytale is produced to introduce young audiences
to an inspiring show that will allow children to discover the world around
them, experience a larger than life visual treat and create a space for quality
family time.”
The show this time is based on Fairy Tales. However, there will be a twists on how the tales would
be told, in a Hi-5 style. For
example, some fairy tales like “Sleeping
Princess” was renamed as “Princess
Sleepy Head”, “Jack and The
Beanstalk” was renamed as “Jup Jup
and the Beanstalk” and many more.
The press conference was also graced by Tony Nagamaiah, General
Manager of MME. Tony said, “We are always at the forefront of bringing to
Malaysia international events that celebrate family and attract international
audiences, evident from our credentials and portfolio of events. These events
have put Malaysia firmly on the world map and brought in international
audiences from the neighbouring countries both, young and old. Our array of
events has also given us the opportunity to showcase Malaysia as a preferred
destination offering quality hospitality, value-for-money experiences and rich
culture. It is also our aim to promote Malaysia as a leading country for
Lifestyle and Entertainment.”
Apart from that, Julie
Greene, the executive producer and creative director for Hi-5 based in Sydney, Australia has also attended the
press conference. She co-wrote the show with Catherine Martin. Julie Greene mentioned during the press
conference, “I am really excited to share this show with our wonderful fans in
Kuala Lumpur. We have, and always had, amazing audiences in Malaysia and I
can’t wait to delight them all over again when we bring Hi-5 Fairytale to the
stage at Istana Budaya. It is a brilliantly fun show and everyone is guaranteed
to leave with a big smile on their face and song in their heart! It’s a show
the whole family will love.”
During the press conference, Julie Greene also introduced to us the two new casts as well as
hinting the show will be consisting of characters like dragon and pirates. In
addition, they also provided us a sneak peak as the casts came out and gave the
real life taste of their performance to the media members of the floor.
Hi-5
Performed On Stage!
It was a lovely afternoon with a relaxing and fun performance by
the Hi-5 Casts. Their lively
performance was really a delight for all of us.
Q&A
Sessions!
During the press conference, Julie was asked regarding her inspiration for creating Hi-5. She replied that she was inspired
by cartoons she used to watch and she hopes to create a show which can make it
funny for the audiences as a family event. She hopes to let the parents have a
good time and share a great memory with their children.
With the current infusion of new male talents, a new dynamics
was created. There will be a lot of new elements and new surprises in the
upcoming shows.
Regarding the selection of new casts, they were picked after a
series of auditions, a lot of camera works and different singings. And the
female casts actually played a role in picking the new male casts.
As from the girls, they mentioned that the male casts were of their choices because of their personalities. Dayen jokingly said that another one of the criteria is that they love to eat too!
That’s all from us regarding the press conference. I am sure “Hi-5 Fairytale” is going to be a fun-filled family adventure with the usual signatures Hi-5 fun with bubbles, bouncy balls, fantastic projection and lighting effects. Last but not least, groove and sing along to favourite Hi-5 songs such as L.O.V.E, Pretending Day and of course Living in a Fairytale.
