Published by the Cultural Affairs Bureau and produced by Like Entertainment & Production Co. Ltd., the thirty-fourth issue of C2 Magazine will be released this Wednesday (7 August).

In Macao, there are many classic stores with decades of history. In order to survive, these stores are willing to change through the introduction of cultural and creative elements which have brought them new opportunities for business development. In the “Feature” section, two classic stores in Macao, U Bo Wo Chinese Herbal Tea and Veng Heng Cheong Joss-stick Shop, as well as Taiwanese classic store Yao de Herb, are invited to share their experience on unlocking the brand value and rejuvenating the stores with cultural and creative elements.

Forget the G is one of the beneficiaries of the first “Subsidy Programme for the Production of Original Song Albums” launched by the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and the band members share their 15 years of experiences in the “Local Force” section. Free Dream Production Studio, a local video production company, is composed of a group of young people with filmmaking dreams. Their short films have recently gone viral on the Internet and, in the “Close-up” section, three main founders of the Studio talk about their dreams. In the “Extravaganza” section, we have again invited two exhibitors of the “Art Macao: International Art Exhibition”, namely the Galaxy Entertainment Group and the Sociedade de Jogos de Macau, S.A. (SJM), to introduce the features and highlights of their exhibitions. In the “Blogs” section, seven columnists Lo Che Ying, Tracy Choi, Lam Sio Man, Un Sio San, Ron Lam, Yap Seow Choong and Johnny Tam continue to share their unique perspectives on the development of the cultural and creative industries.
