Movie shows sports icon on a quest to find the perfect Portuguese egg tart in

Sands Resorts Macao has launched an online micro-movie featuring international

businessman, sportsman and The Venetian(R) Macao brand ambassador David

Beckham, along with several Chinese celebrities, who take him on a quest to

find the perfect Portuguese egg tart in Macao. Released today, the micro-movie

is a light-hearted take showcasing The Venetian Macao, The Parisian Macao and

Macao as destinations renowned for Macao's legendary egg tarts and a must-do on

every visitor's agenda when they visit.

Joining David are leading Chinese celebrities and actors Qiao Shan (taxi

driver), Yang Di (waiter), Liu Yan (taxi driver's sister), Lam Suet (chef), Cao

Tu Jun (restaurant staff) and Helena Law Lan (bakery owner/grandmother).

The micro-movie shows David reminiscing about a previous visit to Macao when he

encountered an elderly lady, Sally, famous for her egg tarts. Keen to revisit

her renowned bakery, David escapes the waiting paparazzi outside The Venetian

Macao in a taxi, only for the driver to unwittingly take him to a random cha

chaan teng, or traditional Chinese cafe in old Macao. Inadvertently his

comments offend the store staff which sets off a chase around the laneways

before they make their escape.

Once David remembers he has the original egg tart wrapper from his first

meeting, the taxi driver realises it was his own grandmother's shop and they

are reunited. But the grandmother explains she has a new shop, Sally's Bakery,

and takes David there, only for him to discover it is actually back at Sands

Resorts Macao's The Parisian Hotel.  

The micro-movie was produced by leading award-winning production house Traktor

and supported by Ng Fan, Chief Creative Officer, Saatchi and Saatchi Shanghai,

and was shot on location throughout many of Macao's distinctive landmarks and

laneways.

As brand ambassador for The Venetian Macao, David visits Macao on a regular

basis and is known for his commitment in supporting the local community on

behalf of Sands China Ltd.

"Working with The Venetian Macao on this film was a really great opportunity

for me to see both the old and the new sights in Macao and of course, to taste

my favourite dessert -- the legendary custard tart!" said David Beckham.
