Hong Kong – SCM previously announced the news of its partnership with Emperor Motion Pictures and actor Chapman To to kick off a new initiative called “Go Local!” in support of the Hong Kong film industry. As part of this initiative, FOX International Channels has produced an original bi-weekly entertainment news show titled SCM Cine. Hong Kong producer and celebrity, Helen To, will host this programme. 

The show will be broadcast both in Asia and internationally, including Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, US and Canada. 

The premiere episode will feature famous celebrities such as Chapman To, Josie Ho and film producer Raymond Chow, in the section “Behind the Ciné”. Chapman To will share his personal thoughts about his film career that spans from his humble beginnings playing small supportive roles to his rise to an award-winning actor. The entertainment news show will also feature some of Chapman’s work behind the scenes in film production.

Other segments of the show include “Ciné-pedia”, where To takes the audience on a tour of LUX Theatre, one of Hong Kong’s oldest cinemas which has been in operation since 1971. In “Ciné Watcher”, viewers can catch a sneak peek of Johnnie To’s latest film, the blockbuster Blind Detective starring Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng.

The production of SCM Cine is in line with FOX International Channels’ commitment to producing more locally relevant content in Asia and for Asian audiences. The show’s broadcast to countries outside Asia such as the Australia, the US and Canada underscores the network’s aim to promote quality Chinese content internationally and take “SCM to the World.”
