(September 24, 2009, Shanghai) Today, EE-Media’s Chris Lee, a super pop idol in the current Chinese music world, made her debut appearance in Madame Tussauds Shanghai to unveil her own wax figure, which was formally opened to the public today after six months of careful production. As the youngest member of Madame Tussauds Shanghai, Chris Lee’s wax figure will add more splendors to the museum. The perfect combination of classics and popularity will once again attract public attention.
Chris Lee’s charismatic charms and her huge social influence are the main reason why Madame Tussauds Shanghai has decided to make a wax figure for her. Mr. Bret Pigeon, General Manager of Madame Tussauds Shanghai, was overjoyed at the unveiling of Chris Lee’s wax figure. “Our vision is to present the wax figures of more outstanding Chinese people to the audiences from Mainland China. Ms. Chris Lee can be regarded as the representative of China’s pop music culture. I believe that her appearance will be warmly welcomed by her fans. Meanwhile, her persistence and faith in making her dream come true will be widely promoted among Chinese young people. At the scene of the event, Mr. Bret Pigeon also sent a special gift to Chris Lee—a special version of Time Magazine, which is, in fact, a printed version using Chris Lee’s wax figure as its cover. It is not only an affirmation to the demonstration role of Chris Lee but also expresses the sincere hope of Madame Tussauds Shanghai that she will be able to go further on her road to the international music world,” said the manager.
Chris Lee’s wax figure has given a vivid expression to her lively and vigorous stage image and irresistible charisma as a pop singer. Madame Tussauds Shanghai has specially placed her wax figure on the stage of the “Music Area” to make it stand side by side with the figure of Michael Jackson, the greatest pop singer in the world. Being greatly surprised and excited, Chris Lee also expressed her hope that she could take this precious opportunity to pay tribute to Michael Jackson and encourage herself to make further efforts to produce more and better music to share her happiness with her fans.
Since her debut in August 2008, Chris Lee has always maintained a high reputation for her high-quality and good-selling personal music albums and concerts. In the short span of four years, Chris Lee has been very successful in her career and occupied an overwhelming position in the music world of Mainland China by winning the most important awards of the music awarding ceremonies. Moreover, she has become the first Chinese singer who has ever been on the cover of Time Magazine twice for her own strength and influence. And in late 2009, Chris Lee will make her debut appearance in the movie & TV circle. After careful consideration and choice, Chris Lee will star in the movie Bodyguards and Assassins, the New Year blockbuster for 2010, which will hit cinemas at the end of 2009. Also, Chris Lee will sing the theme song for the movie. There is no doubt that her fans will be fascinated by her song. Meanwhile, Chris Lee set foot in the digital music world and issued her digital album “Chris Lee” worldwide on August 31. She had participated in the production of many songs in her album and earned high praise, indicating her unquestionable status in the sales volume in the music world of Mainland China.
Despite her dazzling glory, Chris Lee still maintains her own down-home personality and treats “ups and downs” in a peaceful state of mind. In addition, she has always been an advocator and supporter of social charities and participated in millions of charitable activities. For example, “Yumi (Chris Lee’s fans) Love Funds” for which Chris Lee acts as the lifelong image spokesperson was set up voluntarily by her fans who wanted to express their love for their idol in the form of showing concern for society in order to call people to help the vulnerable group and thus create an optimistic and positive social atmosphere. It is not exaggerating to say that Chris Lee’s influence has far exceeded the scope of the entertainment community and as a super pop idol in China, she has become a symbolic figure in today’s society and a spiritual leader of the young generation.
From this day on, visitors are able to have an intimate contact with the wax figure of their idol Chris Lee at Madame Tussauds Shanghai, on the 10th floor of New World Department Store, No. 2-68, Nanjing West Road, Shanghai.
