Asian Star 24 in Macau
Chinese R&B singer Ayi, who graced the cover of 601TV August issues was captured for TV in Macau.
The London part of the show is to be filmed in September and October by Sixoone Media and will feature a number of London top tourist attractions including China Town, Camden Lock, Oxford Circus amongst others. Earlier on in the year, Ayi had performed at the ArchAngel, a venue in Kensington, West London during a networking event hosted by the London based model Portia Freno.
A 25-minute segment of the reality show “Asian Star 24,” depicting a day in the lives of Chinese R&B singer Ayi Jihu and British born Canto-pop star Barry Cox was shot over three days in Macau in August. The celebrities’
adventures were set at well known local sites including the Military Club, the Old Ladies House, Macau Tower, as well as nightclubs and casinos around town.
The stars were enthusiastic about the project. Sichuan-born singer Jihu said Macau was the perfect destination for the shooting because it is a bridge between east and west. Cox, who was born in Liverpool, England, said he hopes to bring his experiences from the west to the east and vice versa.
