Following the official opening ceremony of the 12th Shanghai International Film Festival last Saturday June 13, Hollywood stars made their way along the red carpet into M1NT. The party kicked off at 10pm and wound up at dawn, on the Shareholders Terrace. What happen when Halle Berry, afro-american singer Quincy Jones, Oscar winner Danny Boyle, American actress Andie MacDowell, Clive Owen and latest James Bond girl Caterina Murino decide to carry on partying on the Shareholder’s Terrace? They have fun!
“It’s fantastic to see A List Hollywood stars socializing in Shanghai. Right from the outset we wanted to create a space that could accommodate local and international celebrities in a world class venue with a discrete atmosphere. I think the stars, like our shareholders and members, really enjoyed the fact that on the roof terrace they could relax and enjoy themselves away from the hustle and bustle of this amazing City”, comments Paul Robinson, former President and CEO of EMI Asia and current M1NT Chairman.
Stay tuned for the closing party ceremony, on Sunday 21 June, at M1NT.
