Have you even watched the classic fantasy romance movie, A Chinese Ghost Story? In the latest edition of Liu Yifei, the Jian Gate is 100 meters high in the deep mountains and forests where Ning Caichen enters; it rises into the clouds, as if cut by the axe. Steep and precipitous, it is called “China’s first gate” which is hard to climb even for the immortal, which promotes the box office to break through 100,000,000 Yuan. Such a wonderful setting was taken from Qingliangfeng National Nature Reserve in Lin’an, and there are many similar unique landscapes in Lin’an. On the 6th, our district officially launched “Banqiao International Cinema City and Global Shooting Location Project”, which plans to make Lin’an a global “Cinema City”, in order to attract more and more crews and present the “Tianmu Scenery · Wuyue Culture” of Lin’an in more movie and television plays.

What Will the “Presentation” in Movie and Television Plays Bring to the Shooting Location?

The most popular domestic TV series in the first quarter must be The Knockout. As the TV series “becomes widely known”, the filming spot Jiangmen City of Guangdong Province has also attracted “attention” from people around the country. The tourist industry has “soared” since February. Countless tourists have swarmed into Changdi Historical and Cultural Block which is the filming spot of Old Factory Street in the TV series, making “The Knockout Travel” the “top star” of tourism in Jiangmen. The tourists will visit the shop of “Qiangsheng PHS” according to the scenes in the TV series; “take photos” at the corner where An Xin and Gao Qiqiang pass each other; taste the delicacies like eel rice and roasted goose by following the steps of “Officer An”, to feel the lingering charm of Jiangmen. At the same time, the tourist amount of scenic spots including New Museum of Overseas Chinese Museum, Memorial Hall of Liang Qichao’s Former Residence, Langqin Bay and Haijiao Town also increases. A-grade scenic spots in the city have received 602,000 people, increasing by 386% when compared with that in 2022!

There are many other shooting locations becoming popular due to movie and television plays. The film The Continent makes the shooting location Dongji Islands popular. Meet Yourself makes Dali of Yunnan well-known; the top search of “Shaxi Ancient Town” has increased by above 10 times, and the search of “Fengyangyi” increased by 50 times; it becomes a pet phrase for many people “to go where the wind blows”.

Why Can Lin’an Attract Domestic and Foreign Crews?

The popularity of the shooting location cannot be realized without the help of movie and television plays. However, in essence, it still depends on the local unique landscape, humanity and customs. Jiangmen has the unique beauty of humanity; Dongji Islands have the blue sea & sky and the first dawn; Xixi Wetland is famous for ecological and natural literature and art; Dali is exotic-ethnic and pure. All these are reasons to attract the crew. What does Lin’an have?

Lin’an is an ancient city with long history which accepts the old and embraces the new, and it is the place where Qian Liu (the Founder of Wuyue State in Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms) was born and buried. It is recorded in The Classic of Mountains and Seas, “We can see Taihu in the north, and numerous mountains in the east”. It described the majesty of Tianmu Mountains. The “green mountains of Tianmu” in Lin’an are unique in the “Yangtze River Delta”, and the forest coverage rate reaches 82%. With green hills and clear water (one lake, two mountains and two sources), it is the natural shooting location for various feature films, literary films and fairy dramas.

Meanwhile, “Wuyue Culture” of Lin’an is thick and rich, and can provide a steady stream of “living water” for movie creation, including cultural heritages left from King Qian of Wuyue State, red marks, beautiful landscapes of the nature, flourishing development of science and innovation…With unique regional cultural context including Wuyue culture, Tianmu Mountains culture and Folk culture of Western Zhejiang, it involves a wide variety of themes, including contemporary, present, modern, ancient, village and other themes.

In the land of Lin’an, thousands of characteristic shooting locations such as Red Leaf Guide, Zhuchuan Ancient Village, Heqiao Ancient Town, Tuankou Warm Spring, West Zhejiang Beach, Mountain Games, Tianmu Rafting, Water Forest and Tree kingdom, are “waiting for the crews”. They will appear on the screen and amaze the world.

As A Cinema City, What Influence will Lin’an Produce?

“Banqiao International Cinema City and Global Shooting Location Project” has been officially launched. This is the first cinema city project in Hangzhou and the first film and television shooting project of “modern and contemporary” themes in China.

According to the plan, Phase I of “Banqiao International Cinema City” will be started this summer. It is a rural film and television complex project aiming to shoot modern and contemporary (1960s to 1990s) movies and television plays, and we will set up scenes like towns, streets, shopping malls, residences, theatres (cinemas), hospitals, and train stations for modern and contemporary movies and television plays, and construct digital and metaverse modern film studios and special scene shooting locations.

The planned construction area of Phase I of “Banqiao International Cinema City” is more than 100 Mu, and the planned total investment is 500,000,000 Yuan. It will be completed in the beginning of 2025. It will promote the linkage of primary, secondary and tertiary industries in Lin’an, and form a new comprehensive commercial entity for film and tourism dominated by film and television production service, supported by immersive entertainment, and centering on urban new leisure. At the site, representatives of more than 30 well-known film and television companies around the country witnessed the historic moment, and masters of film, television and art circles including Lang Lang, Liu Tao, Wu Qian and Liu Dekai sent video congratulations in succession.

Many film and television companies can’t wait to establish deep cooperation with Lin’an. Sunac Entertainment (Beijing) Co., Ltd. participated in the shooting of The Wandering Earth 2, and the principal of the company decided to move the corporate headquarters to Lin’an. “Lin’an has rich human and natural resources and an extensive room for progression. Besides, the local government provides a strong support for the film and television industry, so we want to move our headquarters, including the animation plate and offline real scene plate of our subsidiary corporation here, and the future projects will be established in Lin’an.” Huace Group is editing the scripts of two TV plays about Wuyue culture. Xia Xin (the Group Director and President of Dace Investment Group) also considered that Lin’an had conditions to create a global film and television base, “Lin’an is rich in landscape, human and historical resources. By combining some modern digital studios, supporting talents and industry chains, it will become a ‘famous cinema city’.” Lu Xuling (Deputy General Manager of Shanghai Film Shooting Base) also expressed that more resources would be brought to Lin’an in the future. “The construction area of Phase I of ‘Banqiao International Cinema City’ is over 100 Mu, but it also has Phase II and Phase III…, just like Shanghai Film Shooting Base which is expanding all these years. Lin’an has a vast territory and abundant resources, and it is a great idea to create a global concept.” She considered that Hengdian World Studio was not built in one day, and Hollywood was also a result of construction for 100 years.

Hengdian World Studio built the first film and television shooting base – Guangzhou Street Scenic Spot of over 320 Mu in 1996 when The Opium War was shot. In the following 20 years, we built Qin Palace Scenic Spot, Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, Ming and Qing Palace Scenic Spot, Jiangnan Watertown Scenic Spot, New Yuanmingyuan Garden, Dream Valley and National City successively, making it China’s largest cinema city. Hollywood is no exception. Hollywood became the shooting location for the first time when The Count of Monte Cristo was shot in 1907, and later, world famous film companies including Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Paramount, Twentieth Century Fox and Warner Bros. were attracted, making Hollywood the global music film industry center.
