It’s ladies’ night, and the feeling’s right, crooned funk group Kool The Gang in its classic catchy hit Ladies Night.

But nowadays, when clubbers enjoy ever-increasing nightlife entertainment choices, is the concept of Ladies’ Night still a draw?

For the uninitiated, Ladies’ Night is nearly two decades old. It started in the 1980s at the now-defunct Chinoiserie club and has evolved to become a mainstay at most clubs in Singapore.

The signature must-haves are, typically, free entry and some free drinks for female patrons.

“Ladies’ Night is still very important, for sure,” Mr Dennis Foo, chief executive officer of St James Holdings, told The New Paper.

“What has changed is the fact that women of today are a lot more sophisticated than those of the past.

“If they head down to a club and you give them the same type of drink the whole night, they probably wouldn’t be interested… you have to make it more interesting and give them more reason to continue clubbing at your place.”

These days, simply offering free flow “cheapens” the value of Ladies’ Night, added Mr Foo.

Indeed, creativity and inventiveness seem to be the way to go to attract and pamper female patrons. St James Power Station has rolled out a power-packed Ladies’ Night promotion.

Every Wednesday, each female clubber receives 20 free drinks across four outlets (five at each outlet) Gallery Bar, Boiler Room, Powerhouse and Movida.

At Boiler Room, women can also indulge in free flow of Waterfall from 11pm to 3am.

This is apart from a host of other Wednesday-only free flow deals that the entertainment complex is unveiling from today, in line with its fifth anniversary. (See other report.)

Mr Stephen Davis, marketing manager of St James Power Station, described it as the “best Ladies’ Night deal in town”, and added: “The beauty of it is that ladies get a variety of music choices from Latin, RB to Mandopop, all under one roof.

“If you want to dance, you go to one of our outlets, if you want live band music, you go to another, you don’t have to go anywhere else.”

Echoing similar sentiments on the relevance of Ladies’ Night was Mr Jeremy Poh, marketing manager of Asian fusion dance nightspot Club Avatar.

“Ladies’ Night is necessary because the (nightlife) market is saturated and without it, it’s hard for us to get a slice of the clubbers’ pie,” he told The New Paper.

Like St James, Club Avatar is banking on its creativity to woo more female patrons too.

“From next Wednesday onwards, our Ladies’ Night will have a Candy Shop theme,” said Mr Poh.

“Ladies can enjoy free flow of champagne, lychee martinis and Baileys, as well as free lollipops and candy floss.

“We’ll also have topless hunks strutting outside the club, a la (fashion retailer) Abercrombie Fitch.”

Playing it down

But there are other major industry players who have decided to play down the concept.

Mr Bernard Lim, chief executive of LifeBrandz, told The New Paper that Lifebrandz’s outlets Zirca, Rebel, Coco and Aquanova have regular Ladies’ Nights promotions, which include “free entry and two to three free drinks”.

“While we understand that many operators choose to offer limitless free drinks to ladies on Ladies’ Night, we are also mindful that we are operating a business and returns are important,” said Mr Lim.

Then there are the established names on the scene like Zouk which stand out even without blatant promotions of Ladies’ Night.

“Mambo Jambo (which plays 80s pop music and falls on a Wednesday) is the night our ladies enjoy waived entry to Zouk,” said Ms Sofie Chandra, Zouk’s marketing and business development manager.

“We have always differentiated ourselves from the other clubs which brand and position their Wednesday nights as Ladies’ Nights.

“Mambo Jambo is a night for not just the ladies but also the men… it allows for a different experience from any other clubbing night.”

But Mr Foo, who is one of Singapore’s most recognised nightlife moguls, feels that Ladies’ Night is alive and kicking.

“Ladies’ Night has grown to become a third weekend night-out… More ladies are out having fun due to the increased variety in offerings,” he said.

“[It] is so far the movie where I made my biggest breakthrough in terms of personal image,” said Chou on Jan. 18, referring to Jon, his character in the film, who is often trapped in dangerous situations, fighting barehanded with a bullet in his head that cannot be taken out.

Seeking to reunite with his father and his elder brother Wan Yang, played by Nicholas Tse (謝霆鋒) of Hong Kong, Jon finds himself moving away from his principles as a special agent to the realities of his life.

Fight Back from Adversity

Dante Lam is known for shoot-em-up action movies such as his award-winning “Beast Stalker” (證人) in 2008. Lam tends to tell sad and dark stories in his movies, and he seldom gives happy endings. “I feel that joy is easy to forget, and people never forget what gives them pain,” he said.

For him, the movie’s Chinese title “Ni Zhan” is more than just a movie title.

“I had wanted to use this title to name one of my movies for a long time, because I seem to keep encountering adversities in my life. And the only way to overcome them is to fight, no matter if you win or lose in the end,” he explained.

Lam first picked Chou as one of the leading actors, and then thought of Tse, not only because the latter is his good friend, but also because of the good working experiences he had with him.

“Chou and Tse are both die-hards for their careers. I thought putting them together could bring out sparks in the movie,” he said.

However, both Chou and Lam have concerns over whether Taiwanese audiences will be able to see Chou without his superstar halo.

“When I showed up wearing armor in ‘Curse of the Golden Flower’ (滿城盡帶黃金甲), the audiences laughed. The character was supposed to utter righteousness. People still see me as who I am in real life,” said Chou.

“My identity is a limitation. Even if I put my musician image away in acting, the audiences still see me that way,” he added.

Lam, who had experience altering Tse’s acting style, gave his opinion regarding Chou’s concerns. “When Tse cried in the last scene of ‘Beast Stalker,’ Hong Kong audiences laughed as well. But the first step is like that, and it is always the most difficult. When an actor passes this step, he or she can only be better,” Lam concluded. ■

Gritty, violent and oh-so-macho. Taiwanese pop idol Jay Chou has dropped his squeaky clean image with his turn as a hard-nosed cop in Hong Kong action thriller, The Viral Factor.

With acclaimed director Dante Lam helming the film, the singer-turned-actor calls this role ‘a new milestone’ in his acting career. In the film, he plays an international agent who struggles to reconcile with his long-lost brother, a wanted criminal played by Nichloas Tse.

And if you are wondering whether the 33-year-old can pull off such a gritty and emotionally-charged character, Lam put these worries to rest when in Singapore recently with Chou to plug the movie.

EXPECT a sizzling stage performance from Della Ding at the Arena Of Stars, Genting Highlands, on April 28. Heralded as the Newborn Mandopop Diva, she is particularly known for her clear, captivating voice and spectacular range.

Della Ding

Fondly known as Ding Dang, she kick-started her world tour concert, The Diva In Della, in Taipei last December. The concert, which boasts a spectacular visual experience and a dazzling display of fashionable wear, incorporates elements from four classic Broadway musicals — Chicago, The Lion King, Rent and Swan Lake.

Ding Dang, 28, comes from Zhe Jiang province in China. She left home at the age of 18 to pursue her dreams of becoming a professional singer. She sang in pubs for five years before making her big move to Mandopop headquarters, Taiwan.

She’s adored for her love ballads, especially on her earlier records. She dabbled with dance numbers in her third album, Night Owl, released in 2009. But it was after her fourth album, Fu Good, that her popularity skyrocketed.

Her hit song, Wo Ai Ta, accompanied the TV drama Autumn’s Concerto and was awarded the second-most popular KTV song of 2010.

The Diva In Della Live In Malaysia 2012 is organised by Star Planet to celebrate its 10th anniversary. Tickets: RM120-RM420 (excluding RM3 processing fee).

There will also be a special Charity Zone, where tickets sold from this zone will be donated to the Cancer Care Fund under Yayasan Bakti Khidmat Masyarakat Malaysia. This initiative will continue for all concerts organised by Star Planet this year.

For details, call Star Planet (03-9223 3667)/Ticket Charge (03-9222 8811) or visit www.starplanet.com.my.
