$GHY Culture(XJB.SI) There is a reason behind the lag of concerts from GHY because they will continue to want to invest into Jay chou. Think about this - they just need Jay chou. Jay is also very integrated with the company, if you still dont know.
" GHY has the rights to undertake the production of concerts for Jay Chou in Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, Thailand, Japan and the PRC (excluding Hong Kong and Macau) either on a long-term basis or without any expiry in time."

GHY invests in a series of Jay Chou&rsquo s Carnival World Tour concerts in China
GHY Culture & Media XJB 0.00% , through its indirect associated company, Beijing Changxin Film & Media, has entered into two cooperation agreements with Shanxi Xingtai Film, Culture & Entertainment.
Under the agreements, Beijing Changxin had invested in a series of Jay Chou&rsquo s Carnival World Tour concerts. The Mandopop star held a series of concerts in Hohhot from Aug 17 to 20, and will hold another series of concerts in Taiyuan from Sept 21 to 24. Hohhot is located in Inner Mongolia while Taiyuan is located in China&rsquo s Shanxi province.
Beijing Changxin was involved in the production of these concerts and was also named as an organiser.
According to GHY, China&rsquo s reopening saw new opportunities within the live entertainment space arising from the pent-up demand for concerts and live performances.
Referring to data from the China Association of Performing Arts, ticket revenue from commercial performances was said to be close to RMB5 billion ($941.7 million) in the first quarter, surging about 111% y-o-y. The number of audience members skyrocketed 143% to 22 million.
Anchored by its two core businesses of TV programme and film production and concert production, GHY expects its business operations to further normalise in FY2023.
" Similar to the trends in other countries, demand for concerts and live performances have surged significantly in China since Covid-related restrictions were lifted in late 2022. Mandopop superstar Jay Chou is hugely popular in China, where he has a strong fan base. It has been nearly three years since his last concert in China and hence, we believe there will be strong demand for his largescale concerts that we are excited to be a part of,&rdquo says Guo Jingyu, executive chairman and group CEO of GHY.

Singer Jay Chou invites superstar Jackie Chan as his special guest at China concert TIANJIN &ndash Talk about a dream pairing of superstars from the music and movie worlds. Taiwanese Mandopop king Jay Chou, who is on his Carnival World Tour in China, managed to snag Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan as his special guest during the third day of his concert in Tianjin last Saturday. Chou, 44, was performing the song Faraway (2006) when Chan, 69, appeared on stage via a rising platform and sang along with him. More than 40,000 fans at the Tianjin Olympic Centre Stadium shouted and cheered at the actor&rsquo s surprise cameo. Chan recently starred in the movies Ride On (2023) and Hidden Strike (2023) and also voiced the character Master Splinter in the animated film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023). Chou and Chan hugged each other on stage after performing the song, with Chan saying he was stunned by the fans&rsquo loud cheers. &ldquo Brother, do you want to feel it again?&rdquo Chou asked, before telling the crowd: &ldquo Let&rsquo s use the nunchucks.&rdquo They responded in unison with &ldquo Heng heng ha xi&rdquo , which is part of the chorus of Chou&rsquo s 2001 song Nunchucks. Chan then replied: &ldquo I will perform the Drunken Master next time. Heng heng ha xi,&rdquo referring to the theme song of his gongfu movie Drunken Master II (1994). When Chou asked Chan if he wanted to perform another song, Chan joked that Chou should leave the stage for a costume change so that Chan could do a solo routine. Chan then picked Chou&rsquo s 2006 ballad Listen To Mum for their next duet, as Chan said he could not keep up with Chou&rsquo s more fast-paced tracks such as Nunchucks. He also thanked Chou for composing Thank You My Love (2018), a tune which touched his family members. Chou said: &ldquo This song can also be used to thank all the fans and friends for their support along the way.&rdquo Chan took the opportunity to add: &ldquo Thank you to all the fans for supporting him, thank you to all the movie fans for supporting me. Thank you everyone.&rdquo Chou had invited his good friend, Taiwanese artiste and fitness live-streamer Will Liu as his special guest during the first day of his concert in Tianjin, and Taiwanese singer-actor Alec Su &ndash winner of the second season of Chinese reality singing contest Call Me By Fire in 2022 &ndash on the second day. Chou will perform next in Taiyuan city in Shanxi province from Sept 21 to 24. |

GHY maintains steady buybacks MindChamps' Du trims stake
GHY Culture & Media has kept up with its steady share buybacks from the open market. The most recent acquisition was on Aug 29, when it acquired 2,300 shares at 36.5 cents each. This brings the total number of shares bought back under the current mandate to 604,200 shares or 0.057% of the company&rsquo s share base.
Before the latest transaction, GHY had bought back shares on most trading days after it announced its 1HFY2023 ended June earnings on Aug 7.
On Aug 23, 24, 25 and 28, it acquired 3,300 shares at 36.6 cents each, 3,300 shares at about 36.7 cents each, 38,300 shares at about 36.5 cents each and 42,300 shares at about 36.5 cents respectively.
In 1HFY2023, GHY, which produces dramas and organise concerts, recorded a revenue of $32.7 million, up 58% y-o-y, as it booked more revenue from organising concerts and drama production. However, it remained in the red with a loss of $1.9 million, versus losses of $1.8 million incurred for 1HFY2022.
GHY attributes the losses to a weaker renminbi, in which it receives its revenue, versus its reporting currency, the Singdollar. According to GHY, if the forex losses of some $3.4 million recognised were disregarded, it would have reported earnings of $1.5 million for 1HFY2023.
&ldquo While the foreign exchange loss recorded in 6M2023 has outpaced our operational profitability, we remain optimistic for FY2023 with our strategic priorities and plans ahead,&rdquo says executive chairman Guo Jingyu in his earnings commentary, adding that the company expects to achieve turnaround and profitability for the current FY.
On Aug 28, GHY announced that Beijing Changxin Film & Media, an indirect associate, had entered into a co-production agreement with Shanghai Tencent Penguin Film & Culture Communication, which is under China&rsquo s internet giant Tencent Holdings.
Under the agreement, the parties have agreed to co-produce a drama series titled &ldquo Contenders&rdquo . Production will start in November. As described by GHY, the drama series forms part of GHY&rsquo s pipeline of dramas and films as it continues to strive to deliver quality entertainment content through its in-house script production team that developed the script.
&ldquo The company believes that the co-production of this drama series is a testament to the group&rsquo s strong partnership with Tencent Video.
&ldquo Over the years, the group has built up an established network of business relationships and partnerships with key industry players in the media and entertainment industry which forms an integral part of the group&rsquo s business expansion and the execution of its long-term growth plans,&rdquo adds GHY.
Doubling the money
Catherine Du, a substantial shareholder of MindChamps PreSchool, has sold all 70,000 shares she held directly, having doubled her money after holding the shares for just over four months. On Aug 21, Du sold these 70,000 shares at 29 cents each on the open market. She had bought the same shares on April 6 at 15 cents each.
Despite the sale, Du is still a 35.77% owner of an entity called Champion Minds, which, in turn, holds 126.6 million MindChamps shares, equivalent to just over 52% of the company.
On Aug 10, MindChamps PreSchool, which offers preschool education across the region, reported earnings of $7.1 million in 1HFY2023 ended June, a surge of 379% y-o-y over $1.49 million reported in 1HFY2022. Revenue was up 11% y-o-y to $35.2 million as the company was able to book more franchising fees.

MindChamps, under executive chairman and controlling shareholder David Chiem, is actively growing via an asset-light franchising model instead of owning and operating its own schools.
The company recently appointed another master franchise licence for Western Australia, with a flagship centre that is scheduled to open in Perth in 1Q2024. It is also on track with its US expansion and is now registered in every major state.

Core performance are coming back with much higher gross profits. Forex loss cannot be helped, marco factors that are beyond their control. I believe the forex loss is non-cash and just an accounting requirement... GHY' s outlook seem bullish, eyes turnaround and profit in FY2023 with activities normalising. DYODD |

GHY has rights for Jay Chou concerts in China....his Manager and Mother are substantial shareholders in GHY as wellhttps://www.straitstimes.com/life/entertainment/fancy-a-pair-of-tickets-to-watch-jay-chou-in-china-that-ll-be-27000Fancy a pair of tickets to watch Jay Chou in China? That&rsquo ll be $27,000 Tickets to watch Jay Chou&rsquo s two-hour performance are priced at 500 to 2,000 yuan. A pair of tickets for adjacent seats at Mandopop singer Jay Chou&rsquo s concert in Tianjin are reportedly being sold by scalpers for 150,000 yuan (S$27,400). The concert, which takes place in the northern Chinese city over four days from Sept 7 to 10, was met with an overwhelming response with almost 130,000 tickets sold within the first 30 seconds when ticket sales opened on Tuesday, according to Chinese news outlet Global Times. Tickets to watch Chou&rsquo s two-hour performance are priced at 500 to 2,000 yuan on China&rsquo s leading online ticketing platform Damai, and will also be sold on rival ticketing platform Maoyan on Friday. Another scalper has advertised an asking price of 19,800 yuan for a ticket in the first-three rows of the VIP section. A check on Damai&rsquo s ticket sale portal lists the same ticket at 2,000 yuan. Fans of the Taiwan-born singer-songwriter, dubbed the King of Mandopop, are not the first to experience inflated prices and scalpers taking advantage of the overwhelming demand. Tickets for Malaysian singer Fish Leong, Taiwanese band Mayday and Singaporean singer JJ Lin have been sold for exorbitantly high prices by scalpers. Chinese netizens, in response, have called for more action to be taken by ticketing platforms such as tagging tickets to the buyers&rsquo names. Global Times reported that a similar situation in May when nearly 300,000 tickets for a six-day concert by Mayday were sold out in seconds. Fans at the time alleged that concert organisers had colluded with scalpers, but the organisers said the ticket buying process was open and transparent. According to China Association of Performing Arts, box office revenue from performances reached nearly 16.8 billion yuan in the first half of 2023, a near seven-fold increase over the same period in 2022 |
