G.E.M was a judge of the competition, and announced that the prize was a chance to work with music producer Lupo Groining. The winners of the 2010 & 2011 competitions were Robynn Yip and Jude Tsang.
The Borrower Arrietty (借東西の小矮人亞莉亞蒂) Theme Song
Singer-Songwriter G.E.M was asked to re-write a Chinese version of the theme song for the Japanese animated film The Borrower Arrietty.
Arrietty (classified under the title The Borrower Arrietty 借東西の小矮人亞莉亞蒂) is a 2010 Japanese animated fantasy film directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi, written by Hayao Miyazaki and Keiko Niwa and produced by Studio Ghibli. The film is based on British novelist Mary Norton's novel The Borrowers, which was written in 1955. The Film proved to be a successes in the Box Office, winning Best Animated film in 2010 at the 34th annual Japanese film Awards.
Online Presence
With the help of Hummingbird Music, G.E.M has successfully gained a large online audience. G.E.M started her own personal YouTube channel [9] in July 2008, and has since gained just under 60 thousand subscribers in the span of four short years. . G.E.M's YouTube channel has received more than 50 million views, averaging with 2 million views per month, which is an 173% increase in the year 2011. G.E.M also has over 2.5 million followers on the website Weibo, and potentially reaches over 26 million people on Facebook. G.E.M's following is not restricted to Hong Kong and China, with a wide range of fans from Taiwan, Macau, USA, Australia, UK and other SE Asia, she has a large fan base across many countries. On average, one million users see her posts on Facebook each week, where as each post reaches 150 thousand users, thus demonstrating the significant amount of users that follow her online.
Through the means of social media, Hummingbird Music and G.E.M created a new business model that utilizes the Internet as a tool to promote their music. Combining the elements of creativity and the success of viral videos, Hummingbird Music came up with the idea of MySecret Puzzle. MySecret Puzzle is a competition, consisting six interactive videos which G.E.M posted on her YouTube page. In order to win the competition, the user must solve the clues and meanings hidden behind these viral videos. The five winners of the competition would have the opportunity of having G.E.M guest sing at their own home. The competition received an overwhelming response, and inspired G.E.M to promote even more interactive videos and games on her personal website.
With the successes of MySecret Puzzle, G.E.M featured a special surprise inside her album box set MySecret Boxset, which featured a special interactive cardboard code. The code, when paired with the webcam application on her official site, would provide her fans with a unique interactive video of G.E.M performing her single MySecret. The video was exclusive to the Boxset, and therefore could not be viewed on any other social media sites.
Charity Work
Helping those who are less fortunate than her has been a priority in G.E.M’s career. G.E.M has acted as an ambassador in trying to promote the awareness of several important charities, such as Famine 30, The Sun Project, Disneyland, Cervical Cancer Union and Changing Young Lives Foundation.
Acting as an ambassador for Changing Young Lives Foundation, G.E.M worked with the foundation to protect children from abuse, neglect and exploitation, ensuring that they are kept safe at all times with a sufficient enough of shelter, food, health care and education. During the press conference in July 2011, G.E.M called for everyone’s awareness and care towards the underprivileged children as well as their family. She hoped to spread out the message though her fans to a wider range of society, and promised that she will continue to support the foundation.
Personal life
During April 2011, just a month before G.E.M’s sold out concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum, G.E.M experienced a death within the family. G.E.M’s grandmother passed away just weeks before G.E.M’s scheduled concert in May, thus not having the chance to watch her granddaughter perform. In loving memory of her grandmother, G.E.M dedicated a section of her concert especially to her, and sang Josh Groban’s You Raise Me Up, thanking her grandmother for her endless love and support. The song 不存在的存在, which features on G.E.M’s latest album Xposed, was written by G.E.M in loving memory of her.
Accent
G.E.M’s accent[26] can lead her to being mistaken for a foreign singer. Her accent[13] is caused by the shrinkage of her left jawbone, therefore, the upper and lower teeth do not close up completely, leaving a gap in between. When G.E.M speaks, air leaks through the gap. There are surgery operations to correct this problem, but doctors suggested she not undergo the surgery until she turned 21 when her body was fully developed. However, G.E.M has already announced that she has temporarily opted against the surgery because of its high risks, and the problem has not deteriorated in recent years.[27]
