In this upcoming Chinese New Year, ntv7’s Chinese New
Year telemovie took the opportunity to produce a heartwarming and compelling storyline for the viewers with a
mixture of comedy and romance. This upcoming movie hopes to bring the strong
element of emotion to the screen by revolving around Music and its power for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease.
The two-hour telemovie entitled “Spring Chorus” will
premiere on the Home of Feel Good, ntv7 (Channel 107) come 31st January, the first day
of the Lunar New Year, at 8.30pm.
This blockbuster CNY production will be featuring ntv7’s Top 10 personalities made up of Leslie Chai (Most Popular Actor, Golden
Awards 2012), Debbie Goh (Most Popular Actress, Golden Awards 2012), Ong Ai
Leng, Kyo Chen, Adrian Tan, Aenie Wong, Jan Chin, Lawrence Wong,
Frederick Lee and
Karena Teo.
With
the success of its previous CNY telemovies including a remarkable win at Golden
Awards 2012 for “Best Festive
Programme” award, ntv7 promises yet another refreshing production this year.
Introduction of the story
Spring
Chorus tells the story of Uncle Tang Fu Xiang, a father of five who is
diagnosed with the Alzheimer’s disease at the age of 65. His condition becomes
increasingly worrying and deteriorating with his unstable emotions that cause
him to behave like a child.
Tang
Sheng Liang, the eldest son, who is played by Leslie Chai left home ten
years ago due to a heated argument with his father who stopped him from
pursuing his dream in music education. Sheng Liang who inherits his late
mother’s love in music (played by Aenie Wong), stands by his interest
and started a new life in America where he majored in music therapy and got
married to a loving and understanding wife, Karen (starring Jan Chin).
When the 37-year-old Sheng Liang knew about his father’s worsening condition,
he decided to return home with his wife and child to take care of his ailing
father. Through his experience in music therapy, Sheng Liang believes that
music intervention might be able to help his father to improve his condition. This
is also the second time that Leslie and Jan are playing a couple on screen
since their successful pairing in ntv7’s sitcom drama, Love Compulsory.
Debbie Goh and Lawrence Wong will
be playing a rather interesting couple for the very first time. The two-time
winner of the Most Popular Actress award in Golden Awards 2010 and 2012, Debbie
takes on the role of Fanny Tang, the second eldest in the family and wife of
Jacob Wong (Lawrence) who is four years her junior. Unlike her previous
characters that often portray her as an attractive and beautiful woman,
Debbie’s character this time around gives her a rather nerdy look with thick,
round glasses and small curls. Fanny who is an Editor in a publication company took
on the responsibility to look after her family members after her eldest brother
left to pursue his dreams in America. Her husband, Jacob who works as an IT
Engineer may not be a sensitive and understanding person, but would do whatever
he can to support his wife.
Apart
from that, Ong Ai Leng who plays middle child, Connie Tang, will be
pairing up with Frederick Lee as husband and wife for the first time. After
knowing about her father’s condition, Connie quit her job to take care of him
at home. This then leads to friction in her marriage with husband, Francis.
Although he cares a lot about his wife and her family, Francis’s straight
forward personality may sometimes be misunderstood by his loved ones.
Kyo Chen and Karena Teo will
team up again as a couple after their successful pairing in local drama Superhero At Home. This time however, both will play newlyweds in the
show. Kyo will take on the role of the second youngest son in the family, Tang
Sheng Wen, who is also the only one who still keeps in contact with their
eldest brother, Sheng Liang. Both of them maintain a strong bond although
staying apart for almost 10 years. Sheng Wen is also the first to agree with
his brother’s decision in using music therapy to help in his father’s condition
and constantly go out of his way to unite the family. Sheng Wen is lucky to
have the support from his loving wife, Irene who helps him to bring together
his entire family. With her interest in fashion, Irene volunteers herself to
prepare the costumes for the family’s music performance that is organised to
help their father to recall back past memories.
Playing
the youngest son, Tang Sheng Xing, is heartthrob Adrian Tan. Sheng Xing
is an outgoing person who works as a tour guide in a travel agency. On the
outside, he may seem like a middle man who tries to bring the whole family
together but deep down in his heart, he is reluctant to do so. With his
unpredictable personality, one may not be able to guess what is really playing
on his mind.
Will
the family be united once more? Will music therapy helps Uncle Tang regain his
memories?
