Gold-sequined drummers and a light show kicked off the press launch
With two weeks and ticking down to The Real Deal‘s U.S. Real Estate Showcase & Forum in Shanghai Nov. 17-19, TRD traveled to China for a press conference to promote the event.
But this wasn’t just your run-of-the-mill U.S. press event — it was done up with all the pomp and circumstance that seems to typify many Chinese business gatherings. An all-female band of drummers clad in gold sequins took the stage for a kick-off performance, and the event only came to its proper end once goblets full of red liquid streamed through a giant ice sculpture, spelling out The Real Deal.
