Josie Ho Shines in Desert diamonds at Hong Kong Premiere of The Mage

De Beers Group and Chow Tai Fook celebrate Josie Ho as a true reflection of Desert diamonds — individual, resilient and naturally distinctive

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 9 October 2026 – On 6 October, Hong Kong actress, producer and musician Josie Ho stepped onto the red carpet for the Hong Kong premiere of The Mage 《拾荒法師》 adorned in jewellery from Chow Tai Fook's Desert Rose Collection, created in collaboration with De Beers Group as the latest expression of the Desert diamonds campaign.

Josie is joined by her husband and long-time creative partner Conroy Chan and The Mage co-star Iman Taheri, all wearing diamond jewellery from Chow Tai Fook.

Held at MOViE MOViE Cityplaza in Tai Koo Shing, the premiere brought together cinema, style and natural diamonds for a celebration of individuality and creative expression. Josie was joined by her husband and long-time creative partner Conroy Chan, as well as The Mage co-star Iman Taheri, with all three accessorised in diamond jewellery from Chow Tai Fook.

Josie Ho shines in Chow Tai Fook Desert Rose Collection, expressing her bold and distinctive style.

A Natural Expression of Individuality

Known for forging her own path across film, music and production, Josie has spent more than three decades embracing roles and creative projects that resist easy categorisation. Her independent spirit finds a natural connection with the philosophy behind Desert diamonds — a celebration of natural diamonds in a spectrum of warm, earthy hues, each shaped by nature and possessing its own individual character.

The collaboration also places a spotlight on Desert Rose, the collection showcased by De Beers Group at Jewellery & Gem WORLD Hong Kong in September 2026. Inspired by the intricate formations of desert roses and the remarkable plants that flourish in arid landscapes, the collection transforms the beauty, vitality and resilience of desert life into contemporary jewellery. From delicate floral forms to warm-toned natural diamonds, each piece explores the relationship between strength and beauty — qualities reflected in Josie's own unconventional creative journey.

"Josie has always had the courage to define herself on her own terms. Across film, music and her creative life, she has chosen her own path and built an identity that is unmistakably hers. That is what makes her such a natural expression of the spirit of Desert diamonds. No two natural diamonds are exactly alike; each has its own character, shaped by its own journey. We see that same individuality and resilience in Josie. The Desert Rose pieces feel particularly fitting for her — distinctive, expressive and designed to be worn as a reflection of who you are, rather than simply as an adornment." — Lynn Serfaty, General Manager, Natural Diamonds, De Beers Group.

Resilience, Revealed Through Nature

The Desert Rose Collection is the latest chapter of De Beers Group's Desert diamonds campaign in China, which draws inspiration from the diverse colours and landscapes of the desert. Just as no two natural diamonds are exactly alike, the campaign celebrates beauty that comes from individuality rather than uniformity.

As Annie Wong, Chief Operating Officer of Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group, said at the collection's launch, Desert Rose "celebrates the resilience and individuality of today's women." Through Josie, that idea takes on an artist who has consistently pursued her own creative identity across acting, music and independent filmmaking. The collaboration continues the longstanding relationship between De Beers Group and Chow Tai Fook, a De Beers Sightholder since 1973, bringing together their shared appreciation for natural diamonds, craftsmanship and enduring design.

The Desert Rose Collection is available at selected Chow Tai Fook stores across 25 cities in China.

Five million registered users and returning production teams underpin the company’s move beyond video marketing

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 9 October 2026 - A filmmaker can have a script ready for years and still lack the resources to produce it. A story might call for a collapsing building, an unfamiliar world or a location that would be costly or unsafe to film. For smaller production teams, those scenes can determine whether a project moves forward at all.

Singapore-headquartered Topview AI launched Film Studio in July 2026 to help creators develop standalone AI short films. The tool extends the company's video creation platform beyond marketing content and episodic dramas into a filmmaking workflow where creators can plan, generate and refine connected scenes.

Topview AI has accumulated five million registered users across its platform. The company says 40% of its users create AI films and dramas, while approximately one million videos are generated daily across all its video creation tools. These platform-wide figures reflect the company's expanding use among filmmakers alongside its existing users, including e-commerce sellers, brands and content creators.

Giving filmmakers control over connected scenes

A creator can begin with a film idea or script and use an AI agent to develop the visual direction for a project. Within Film Studio, they can plan shots, build visual references and generate scenes in a shared workspace. They can then adjust the framing and movement of a camera, compose a shot in 3D, refine a character's expression or change the lighting before reviewing the result alongside other scenes.

That level of control matters when a film needs more than one striking clip. A director might need an establishing shot of a fictional city, a close-up of a character reacting to danger and a wider shot showing what happens next. Film Studio lets the creator work through those decisions shot by shot, keeping the visual material together as the film takes shape. Its editing tools also allow parts of generated footage to be revised without rebuilding the entire clip.

For smaller teams, these controls offer a way to explore scenes that would otherwise require physical sets, specialist locations or extensive visual effects. Creators can test different visual approaches and refine their choices as they develop the film, while retaining responsibility for the story and the final output.

Topview AI's Drama Studio serves a related but different purpose. Built for episodic and multi-part stories, it helps creators plan beat sheets, character personalities, recurring characters, environments and continuity across episodes. Film Studio is intended for a standalone short film, with closer control over individual shots and their visual execution.

"The first wave of AI video showed how quickly a clip could be made. For filmmakers, the harder question is whether they can direct the technology across a complete story," said Jensen Wu, CEO and Co-Founder of Topview AI. "The creators we work with already have their own ideas and a clear sense of what they want audiences to see. They need tools that help them make production decisions and bring those ideas to screen. There will still be limitations to solve, but the need to make ambitious stories with finite resources is not going away."

From online series to feature-film production

The company's collaborations with production teams began with Drama Studio and have since expanded to studios using Film Studio. In its collaborations, Topview AI provides access to its tools and platform credits, while creators develop their own concepts, make the creative decisions and publish their work on their own channels.

Those collaborations have resulted in published series. Hieu AI Media used Drama Studio for Episode 3 and Episode 4 of its action series Green Lightning. Both episodes have passed 200,000 views on YouTube. AZF Studio's NEON TIDE EP.1, a science-fiction series set after a kaiju catastrophe, is an official AZF and Topview series made using Drama Studio.

Topview AI is also being used in feature-film production. DRagon Studios is using Topview AI as part of its production workflow. The studio plans a December premiere in London's West End, followed by a limited theatrical release across the UK.

In feedback shared with Topview AI, DRagon Studios said the technology had changed the direction of its business. The studio is now exploring plans for a production facility centred on Topview. Its completed feature film provides a further example of how production teams are incorporating the platform into work intended for audiences beyond online video channels.

Continued use beyond the first project

Topview AI says production teams have returned to its tools for further projects, with other production houses preparing to release work later this year. For the company, returning users and completed productions provide evidence of how its tools are being incorporated into filmmaking workflows.

AI filmmaking still faces questions about the consistency of characters and performances, as well as the rights of creative contributors. Topview AI believes the technology's lasting role will depend on how well filmmakers can direct it and whether the finished work meets their standards. The company's focus is on giving creators greater control over production, while the creative decisions remain with the people making the film.
