August 9, Kuala Lumpur – NewPro-Star held a press conference regarding they have signed 16 TV/Movie artistes under their management. The objective was to expose the local (Malaysia) entertainment industry in this matter. No doubt, Malaysia has potential with the experienced artistes that been in this industry for over 8 years and some over 40 years. Nostalgic, that those familiar artistes surfaced again to give their best with NewPro-Star.
As an opening, NewPro-Star presented their talented PopStar 2011 finalist, Boey with the high pitch “小小鸟“. It definitely persuaded us to mark her with a powerful vocal.
As for the day, we have 吴维彬 as our host/emcee. Followed by Ms Angela 陈美娥, director cum executive producer of NewPro-Star with her speech. As NewPro-Star director, she didn’t want to have typical enrollment but giving out appreciation tokens to welcome the 16 artistes. “This also an encouragement for the artistes”, she added. Also, appreciation tokens made out of beautiful clear crystal.
