Report in Lianhe Zaobao

   Chen Hanwei has women's luck. In the item "The Greatest Body Concert", he's the only male artiste who performed together with 7 female artistes including ....in a Japanese-style "Stomp" dance.

   As the only "grass" among the 7 flowers,  Hanwei laughed & said," It's alright. I'm not difficult to get along with. We're full of jokes & laughter. But I should be considered the oldest, the rest are like little sisters: they're full of vitality & have good  stamina & memory. I felt tired after dancing for a while." There was once Hanwei felt so tired  that he just stood still & refused to move. 

   Chen Hanwei praised the 7 female artistes for dancing beautifully like professionals though they've not learnt dancing before. As for his own performance, he said, " I've not learnt dancing, my body movement isn't so graceful. Luckily my sense of rhythm is not bad as I've learnt piano."

   The tap dance's specialty is the sound made by the shoes. The soles of the performers' shoes are fixed with iron plates.  During rehearsal  Hanwei's feet were stepped on by Lynn Poh's "iron shoes". At that time my "iron shoes" were not ready yet. I was wearing cloth shoes. I was stepped on by her "iron shoes" twice. We couldn't control our laughter. In the end all of us laughed non-stop and couldn't continue with our rehearsal." From then onwards, whenever Hanwei noticed Lynn was out of rhythm, he would get away from her a little to save himself.

   "Renci Charity Show" is the first cooperative effort of the two TV stations after merger to raise funds for charity. Hanwei said,"The feeling is very good. The first time we cooperate is to perform for charity, very heart-warming. There's a spirit of mutual support. Everyone seems to be more united than before."

before the show

 

 

This show was broadcast on 9 Jan 05 on Channel U. 

Hanwei led the female artistes, Felicia , Joey , Priscelia , Jaime , Lynn , Eelyn and Ezann  & over 100 primary school students in the grand opening of the show.

His hair was super-short and he was so "hunkish" and athletic, in funny contrast with the sissy, Fafa in Lucky Charm currently appearing on TV screen.

It was really a great feat, considering that more than hundred people have to dance together to produce sounds in unison

After the dance all the artistes were introduced onstage while singing. Hanwei appeared together with Lynn Poh. He then came out together with the other 7 female artistes to appeal for donation. Diana asked Hanwei if he felt pressurised for being the leader. Hanwei said that the pressure on him is nothing compared to the suffering of the patients'

Inset showed Hanwei looking worried as Edmund & Darren did push-ups during Ven Ming Yi's item. Later he joined the rest of male artistes to do the push-ups.

   In the grand finale he appeared with Celest Chong.
