  • HAZAMA DAN NORANIZA IDRIS MERAWAT HATI LAGU PENAWAR KITA

    Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia — Dua penyanyi terkenal di  Malaysia iaitu  Ratu Pop Etnik Negara  Noraniza Idris dan  penyanyi lelaki popular Malaysia, Hazama. Mereka akan bersatu dalam karya muzik terbaru mereka yang bertajuk Penawar Kita. Lagu baru mereka ini dapat menyembuhkan hati mereka setelah lama tidak berkarya.

     

    Dari segi konsep muzik kali ini, Luca Sickta telah menghasilkan muzik yang menggabungkan elemen tradisional dan moden yang sinonim dengan perwatakan nyanyian dari Noraniza Idris & Hazama. Penggabungan ini mencipta dinamika musik yang membawa perpaduan elemen tradisional dan moden.

     

    Menurut Hazama ‘’ Saya rasa sangat bertuah kerana dapat berpeluang berkolaborasi bersama dengan lagenda Irama Malaysia , Noraniza Idris . Kali pertama dapat panggilan projek ini saya terus setuju dengan tawaran dari Kak Ani. Kebetulan pula saya memang peminat Kak Ani dari kecil lagi. Projek ini merupakan kali pertama saya merakamkan lagu yang bergenre Irama Malaysia. Tanpa tawaran ini , tidak mungkin berpeluang untuk merakamkan lagu yang berunsurkan Irama Malaysia kerana saya sememangnya membawakan genre Rock . ‘’Terima Kasih juga tak terhingga kepada semua yang terlibat dan juga pihak Luncai Emas yang banyak membantu dalam sepanjang proses projek ini dijalankan’’. Tambah Hazama .

     

    “PENAWAR KITA ” adalah terbitan bersama Luncai Emas Sdn Bhd dan NIPV Management Sdn Bhd. Lirik ditulis oleh penerbit muzik , penyanyi & rapper Kmy Kmo, dan dilengkapkan dengan konsep muzik yang mendalam oleh Luca Sickta, bertujuan untuk memikat penonton dengan lirik yang bermakna dan melodi yang meremajakan jiwa. Lagu ini menggabungkan elemen muzik tradisional yang terpilih dengan hikmah pantun nasihat, mencipta perpaduan menawan antara tradisi dan moden.

     

    Walaupun lirik dan lagunya oleh Kmy Kmo dan Luca Sickta, Noraniza Idris tetap membawa pesanan mendalam melalui persembahan suara yang menggugah hati. Lirik yang ditulis membawa pendengar dalam perjalanan yang menyentuh hati, di mana ujian dan cabaran kehidupan berfungsi sebagai pengajaran praktikal dalam memahami hakikat hubungan manusia.

     

    Kmy Kmo menambah, "Apabila zaman berganti zaman kita semua memerlukan udara-udara baik dan harmoni, menekankan keperluan berkekalan untuk bersatu dan harmoni dalam kehidupan kita’’. ‘’ Setelah siap rangka susunan muzik , saya cadangkan agar lagu ini diduetkan dengan artis baru atau sedang aktif dan sesuai dengan vocal saya . Ambil masa lama juga meninjau, satu hari saya buat satu program melibatkan Hazama dan saya terus terfikir untuk calonkan Hazama sebagai rakan duet. Usulan itu disambut baik oleh pengurusan Hazama. Bermulalah rakaman single ini’’. Kata Noraniza Idris.

     

    ‘’Penerbitan single ini dipantau sepenuhnya oleh Datuk M.Nasir selaku penasihat single ini. Saya sangat berbesar hati dapat khidmat nasihat dari Datuk sebuah nama besar yang dihormati dalam industri muzik hingga kini’’. Tambah Noraniza Idris lagi.

     

    Sejajar dengan evolusi muzik dalam peredaran masa kini, Noraniza Idris & Hazama berharap semoga lagu duet ini di terima peminat muzik di Malaysia dan mendapat tempat di dalam hati masing – masing .

     

    Penawar Kita diharapkan agar dapat juga merentasi peringkat umur dan memberikan pengalaman bermakna kepada semua pendengar. Dengan semangat kolaboratif, mempersembahkan Penawar Kita sebagai nyanyian bersama yang berkuasa. Single ini meresap secara mendalam dalam hati mereka yang mencari keselesaan dan hubungan dalam bahasa muzik yang universal.

     

    Penawar Kita kini boleh didapati di semua platform muzik utama, seperti Spotify , Apple Music, Itunes dan juga Muzik Video akan mula ditayangkan di saluran Luncai Emas mulai 10 November 2023. Diharap semua dapat mendengar untuk mengalami perpaduan menawan melodi tradisional dan moden yang membawa kedamaian.

Featuring an array of unique video production technology, this device is available now for purchase, at RM1,299 for Malaysians to take their creativity to the next level.

    “Infinix is dedicated to igniting imaginations and empowering creativity. The Infinix ZERO 30 5G offers innovative camera technology that enables individuals to capture, create, and share their world in ways they never thought possible. Our goals and commitment revolve around providing tools that go beyond mere smartphones; they are gateways to a new realm of self-expression and storytelling through the lens of unrivalled camera capabilities,” said Carmen Yong, Marketing and GTM Director of Infinix Malaysia.

    Capture Every Moment with Unparalleled Clarity

    With 4K at 60FPS, the ZERO 30 5G enables individuals to engage in post-production activities that were once only accessible to professionals. This feature represents a groundbreaking inclusion within the ZERO 30 5G offering users an unrivalled platform for capturing, creating, and sharing content. Along with that, this feature allows users to record video in astonishingly high resolution.

    The ZERO 30 5G boasts a Dual Micro-slit Flash system, an innovative low-light photography feature that is integrated into the smartphone’s front camera setup, consisting of two strategically positioned LED flash units. Similarly, dual camera recording utilises both front and rear cameras, providing a comprehensive and all-encompassing perspective. Accompanied by this feature, PDAF (Phase Detection AutoFocus) is a rapid and precise auto-focus technology that uses certain pixels for phase detection on the image sensor, enabling quick and accurate focus adjustments for each frame.

    Vloggers are able to experience a new level of professionalism and creativity by shooting videos in the authentic cinematic 2.35:1 aspect ratio, complemented by the enchanting allure of Movie Style Filters. This powerful combination serves as a breakthrough for filming, instantly transforming everyday content into visually captivating narratives. Apart from that, the HDR technology enhances the overall image quality by preserving both the brightest and darkest details in a scene. Furthermore, Infinix ZERO 30 5G features a 108MP rear camera, incorporating both OIS and EIS technologies  that ensure a stable image capture with more light during longer exposures, resulting in better night time and indoor photos.

    Designed with advanced camera technology, the ZERO 30 5G includes a 1/1.67″ sensor and a large F1.65 aperture that allows the sensor to capture a greater amount of light as well as sharp and clear photos. The Adaptive Pixels 9 in 1 Tech adds more detail to photographs and captures colours that ‘pop’, fulfilling users’ needs in different lighting conditions. This results in a pleasing background blur (bokeh) effect when shooting portraits or close-up subjects. Infinix ZERO 30 5G’s equipped with an ultra-wide zoom lens with a 120° wide field of view which provide users to capture a much broader perspective compared to standard lenses.

    Likewise, Infinix ZERO 30 5G’s threefold Lossless Zoom combines different camera lenses such as a wide-angle lens and telephoto lens, providing optical zoom at various levels, including 1x, 2x, and 3x. Leveraging these advanced features, photographers specialising in long-distance photography have the capability to fine-tune focus and composition, enabling them to capture subjects at different distances with exceptional precision while upholding top-tier image quality.

    Step into a world of captivating beauty

    The ZERO 30 5G’s flagship model encompasses a  6.78-inch display that sets a new standard for visual excellence, offering a stunning 144Hz refresh rate that ensures every frame appears seamlessly smooth and  provides users with an immersive display experience. The 10-bit AMOLED display goes further by incorporating DCI-P3 Colour Gamut and Calibration Algorithm, making it perfect for tasks requiring exceptional colour accuracy.

    With a peak brightness of 950 nits and a 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio, it ensures that content remains vivid and easily readable even in bright outdoor settings. The inclusion of High Brightness Mode further enhances visibility under challenging lighting conditions. The ZERO 30 5G’s display prioritises user comfort with features like 2160Hz PWM Dimming and an Eye-care Mode, certified by TUV Rheinland that reduces flickering as well as minimises visual fatigue.

    The Ultra Slim 3D Curved Screen on the ZERO 30 5G is a design masterpiece, boasting an elegant 3D curved display set at a graceful 60° angle, creating a seamless transition from the display to the sides of the device. The ZERO 30 5G, weighing just 185g, offers a lightweight and immersive viewing experience with its slim 2.8mm frame accompanied by a 92.7% screen-to-body ratio with a curved screen and slim bezel design.

  • Filem “La Luna” Bukan Sekadar Komedi Biasa, Angkat Tema Cinta & Perubahan Masa

    Dengan tema cinta yang terkenal tetapi nada dan mesej yang luar biasa, filem komedi LA LUNA, dengan beberapa pelakon terbaik negara, bersedia untuk menyambut penontonnya! Diarahkan oleh pengarah filem berbakat Singapura M. Raihan Halim, filem kerjasama antara Singapura dan Malaysia ini akan dibuka di pawagam di Singapura pada 16 November 2023, dan di seluruh Malaysia pada 9 November 2023.

    Raihan Halim bersama dengan barisan pelakon seperti Shaheizy Sam, Sharifah Amani, Wan Hanafi Su, Hisyam Hamid, Nadiya Nisaa, Nam Ron, Farah Ahmad, Iedil Dzuhrie Alaudin dan Wafiy Ilhan telah bersedia menghidangkan sebuah juadah yang pasti memikat hati khalayak dan pencinta filem khususnya!

    Ternyata M.Raihan Halim selaku sutradara filem ini mempunyai kedekatan yang begitu luar biasa dengan La Luna. Ujarnya, “Apabila saya menulis La Luna, saya merasakan bahawa ia adalah milik saya. Pada hari saya memberikan skrip kepada pelakon, ia menjadi milik mereka. Dan kini filem itu dibuat dan ditayangkan, ia adalah milik penonton. Ia adalah satu perjalanan yang sangat mengujakan, menyedihkan, mencabar dan akhirnya menggembirakan dan saya harap semua orang menikmatinya sama seperti saya melakukannya.”

    “ La Luna.. ia mengenai perubahan masa. Manusia patut berubah, patut berkembang. Kadang kala kalau kita tidak berubah, kita akan tersekat. Ia sangat bahaya kerana perubahan dalam kehidupan tidak dapat dielakkan,” ujar sutradara berusia 41 tahun ini.

    Menganggap ia sebuah cerita ‘labour of love’, pengalaman berada dalam situasi La Luna memberikan dirinya pelbagai emosi- gelak tawa serta momen-momen yang besar dan detik-detik berat. Namun satu harapan yang terbit dari sudut hatinya yang terdalam- agar para penonton kelak akan ketawa, kekal dengan tema yang dibawakan melalui filem ini …dan tinggalkan pawagam dengan senyuman di wajah!

    Dengan kos produksi sebanyak S$1.1 juta (RM3.5 juta), LA LUNA melatarkan sebuah kampung rekaan bernama Bras Basah, yang merupakan kawasan paling tegas di negara ini. Dengan kehadiran sebuah kedai pakaian dalam bernama ‘La Luna’ secara tiba-tiba telah menghidupkan kampung yang sunyi dan tidak bersemangat. Walaupun penduduk kampung mula menerima kehadiran pemilik kedai dengan tangan terbuka, namun, ketua kampung nekad dengan tujuannya untuk mengusir pemilik kedai tersebut dengan apa cara sekalipun!

    Sisi pemerkasaan wanita dipaparkan dengan menarik dan kemas dalam filem ini. Mesej ini yang perlu dihadam dan diperhalusi dalam momen-momen yang dipaparkan secara santai di bawah garapan M. Raihan Halim.

    LA LUNA dipersembahkan oleh Clover Films; dengan kerjasama ACT 2 Pictures, One Cool Film, dan Papahan Films; diterbitkan oleh Clover Films, ACT 2 Pictures, dan Papahan Films dengan sokongan Suruhanjaya Filem Singapura, Kementerian Penerangan, Komunikasi, dan Kebudayaan (KKD), Perbadanan Kemajuan Filem Nasional Malaysia (FINAS), Hong Kong Asia Film Financing Forum (HAF), White Light Studio, dan Wouter Barendrecht Film Foundation.

    Diedarkan bersama di Malaysia oleh Clover Films dan SKOP Productions, manakala di Singapura, Clover Films mengedarkan bersama Golden Village.

    Menurut Encik Lim Teck selaku Penerbit Eksekutif & Pengarah Urusan, Clover Films, pihaknya sangat berbangga dapat bekerjasama dengan pelakon hebat LA LUNA, dan percaya bahawa Clover Films telah mencipta filem yang menghiburkan dan bermakna. “Kami tidak sabar untuk menunjukkannya kepada penonton Malaysia, dan pasti semua orang akan menyukainya!”, ujar Encik Lim Teck.

    Manakala Adrian Teh selaku Penerbit Eksekutif & Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif, Act 2 Pictures melihat filem ini sebagai sebuah kerjasama sinematik antara Singapura dan Malaysia yang menampilkan barisan pelakon yang sangat berbakat dan disematkan bintang. “Filem ini bukan sekadar cerita biasa; ia adalah satu penerokaan untuk meninjau beberapa adat tradisional dan untuk memperingati pemerkasaan wanita dalam masyarakat. Anda pasti tidak mahu ketinggalan ini,” tambahnya.

    Filem La Luna malah mencipta satu lagi sejarah apabila filem ini telah ditayangkan di pentas antarabangsa menerusi tayangan perdana dunia di Pesta Filem Antarabangsa Tokyo di Jepun pada 24 Oktober lalu. Pengarah telah terbang ke negara matahari terbit itu untuk menjayakan festival berkenaan. Diadakan setiap tahun di Jepun, Pesta Filem Antarabangsa Tokyo itu menghargai dan meraikan sutradara dari serata dunia. La Luna terpilih dalam kategori ‘Asian Future Section’ di mana ia dalam senarai 10 filem yang dipilih untuk bersaing bagi kategori Anugerah Filem Terbaik Akan Datang Asia.

    Malah filem ini turut masuk ke Jakarta Film Week. Pengarah, Shaheizy Sam dan Sharifh Amani diterbangkan ke Jakarta untuk sesi tayangan dan temuramah di sana.

    Filem ini bakal ditayangkan di Malaysia pada 9 November 2023 dan di Singapura pada 16 November 2023.
