LifeMag Editor・2016-01-20
Since its debut on October 27, 2015, the Hollywood-inspired entertainment resort, Studio City, has established itself as a new landmark in Macau, featuring a host of exciting, “world’s first” non-gaming attractions in partnership with some of the biggest names in entertainment. With the Chinese New Year approaching, the new entertainment hot spot enticed celebrated actress Ms. Lynn Xiong, the star of several recent Chinese blockbusters, to drop by as its Star Ambassador. While visiting the thrilling cinematically-themed leisure destination, Lynn took a spectacular journey through theThe House of Magic, and was captivated by an enchanting sunset on the Golden Reel figure-8 Ferris wheel, 130 meters above ground, rounding up a truly remarkable experience at Asia’s Entertainment Capital. Studio City’s stunning Art Deco façade greets visitors with the imposing 30-meter Heroes of Steel statues flanking the iconic Golden Reel, itself straddling the twin hotel towers. The integrated resort combines electrifying entertainment with an exciting cinematically-inspired environment and an array of accommodation, regional and international dining and designer brand shopping. With the movie Ip Man 3 outgrossing its competitors at the China, Hong Kong and Taiwan box offices (in particular, making a record-breaking TWD130 million dollars at the box office in Taiwan), Lynn, who plays the wife of Ip Man in the trilogy, made her appearance at Studio City today to experience its many wonders. Besides the exquisite gastronomic experience created by Michelin-starred Chef Tam Kwok Fung’s Chinese restaurant Pearl Dragon with an auspicious Chinese New Year menu, Lynn also made a surprise guest appearance at the one-of-a-kind multi-theater attraction, The House of Magic, where she was “teleported” onto the stage atop a blazing red Ferrari, to help bring the 90-minute, three-show performance to its climax. Lynn commented on her journey through the themed resort: “I was thrilled by such a new and exciting experience presented by Studio City. As a professional actress, I dedicate myself to the art of movie-making, but it never dawned on me that there could be such a spectacular cinematically-inspiredintegrated resort right here in Asia. Its marvelous entertainment-oriented ambiance and attractions put me in a seemingly real Hollywood movie scene, which was a very exciting surprise. “During my exploration of Studio City, what impressed me most was that I was able to be part of an international magic show at The House of Magic. I had the honor to perform with one of the world’s greatest magicians for the first time, so I was extra careful when we were rehearsing, hoping that together we would put on an amazing show. Through the whole act I was very nervous, but the magical feelings it brought me are unforgettable. I am fascinated by the mysterious charm that The House of Magic offers!” The House of Magic is a one-of-a-kind multi-theater attraction housing performances never seen before in Asia. Designed, curated and hosted by acclaimed illusionist, Franz Harary, The House of Magic is the premier performance venue for magicians globally. Featuring rotating live magicians in a three-theater complex, it amazes visitors with an array of mind-bending shows including Franz’s signature resident show, Mega Magic. As the perfect finale to her visit trip, Lynn took a ride on the world’s highest figure-8 Ferris wheel – Golden Reel- enjoying the stunning sunset at a dizzying height of 130 meters. Upon her arrival at Golden Reel, Lynn said: “I’m finally here at this amazing Ferris wheel! I have read so much about this new landmark and am planning to visit here with my family, so I’m very happy that I have this opportunity to preview the ride and prepare for my next visit. It’s a bit scary to be 130 meters above the ground, but as we are rising up slowly, I could look out over the landscape of Macau and the China Sea. It’s definitely a must-see location to take a photo in memory of your visit to Macau. For couples especially, I think this would be a wonderful place for an unforgettable romantic sunset moment. ” Experiential dining is on the menu at Studio City with a stellar range of over 30 signature restaurants, themed food court and entertainment-inspired eateries, including Studio City’s premium Chinese restaurant Pearl Dragon, helmed by acclaimed Michelin-starred chef Tam Kwok Fung; Shanghai Magic, offering an immersive experience that brings together modern Shanghainese dining and close-up magic. Further venues showcasing of the art of gastronomy, created by multiple Michelin-starred chef Alain Ducasse and Hawaiian celebrity chef Alan Wong, will also soon be unveiled at Studio City. Mr. JD Clayton, President of Studio City said: “As Asia’s Entertainment Capital, Studio City is dedicated to presenting world-class entertainment, dining, accommodation and lifestyle experience to its guests. With our motto ‘This is Entertainment’, we are a major factor in Macau’s aspirations to build a diversified and in-depth development of its tourism industry, thus enhancing its position as Asia’s leading tourist destination. Studio City has many exciting promotions for the Chinese New Year holiday in store, with the aim of providing visitors to Macau an unparalleled resort experience and to ring in the Year of the Monkey on a very exciting, memorable and, above all, fortune-filled note.”
