BLUE CARD synopsis:
Like most of us would know, the sudden boom of the casino industry in Macau propelled its economy to an all time high not too long ago. But more recently, the sudden fall of the world’s economy saw Macau sending many foreigners packing for home in short notice when their ‘Blue Cards’ expired. Based on a true story, ‘Blue Card’ is about a Singapore girl who works as an writer/editor for her self-funded magazines, aiming to promote Macau to the region as a city that offers more than just gambling pleasures. But she was (obviously) unable to stay on longer because of her ‘Blue Card’ problems. Forced to leave Macau in a short one week’s notice, her world in casino city fell apart quickly…
FAITH YANG FUWEI (music/song composer, co-producer and cast):
One half of the successful girl group ‘2 Gals’, Singapore-born singer Faith Yang has since gone solo and will be in Macau to promote her first solo album ‘Simple Living’ on 22 September. Her former group ‘2 Gals’ was signed to EMI Taiwan and their album songs became top hits on ‘MTV’ and ‘Channel V’ in the late 90s and early 2000s.
