Beautiful dream workshop
At first, Zhongshan City, which was built to shoot the TV series Sun Yat-sen, was divided into China Scenic Area, British Scenic Area, American Scenic Area and Japanese Scenic Area. Among them, Japanese scenic spots have the most complete and exquisite Japanese street view in China.
In addition to the TV series "Guangzhou Uprising" and "Xian Xinghai", mainland crews came to Zhongshan to make films, and many Hong Kong film and television companies came to make films. Almost all the TV series "Fishing and Cooking Together" of TVB Company in Hong Kong was filmed in Zhongshan City, and some of the TV series "Kung Fu Football" in Hong Kong was also filmed here. Since 2002, Zhongshan has actively promoted its film and television shooting base. In 2002, Zhongshan organized a delegation to participate in the Shanghai Film and Television Festival. From May to June, 2003, TV plays or movies were filmed in Zhongshan almost every day, including Legend of Ayou, Heart of China, Soong Ching Ling, the Mother of the Nation, and The Master of Seclusion.
Many film and television creators like the exquisite and well-equipped scenic spots in Zhongshan City, and even some screenwriters temporarily changed their scripts to shoot a scenic spot in Zhongshan City. In 2003, TVB plans to shoot the TV series "Phoenix Dance Luo Xiang" in Zhongshan City. When the screenwriter visited the scenic spots in Zhongshan City, he found that the scenic spots in Japan were very exquisite. He thought it was difficult to find such a good street view in other places, and it would be a waste if it was not used for shooting, so he decided to add the plot of Japanese street view to the script. It was only because of SARS that the play failed to start shooting in Zhongshan City.
Dream-seeking tourists
DreamWorks is often used to describe the shooting of TV movies. People are always curious about this world of light and shadow. Visiting the film and television shooting base can also be said to be a dream-seeking trip for tourists.

Director Liao, the editor of Zhongshan City, said that more than a dozen TV dramas of different genres have been filmed here, and the traces left by these TV dramas and movies can be seen everywhere in the streets and buildings of the scenic spot. The houses on both sides of the street at the entrance of Guangzhou Scenic Area were built by the crew of Guangzhou Uprising during filming. There is a French restaurant in the British and American scenic spots, that is, the Xian Xinghai crew changed the original youth hostel into the restaurant where Xian Xinghai worked while studying in France. Sometimes the crew will set up some temporary scenery according to different needs. These scenery have become a part of the scenic spot, and the connotation of the scenic spot is getting deeper and deeper, and the attraction to tourists will increase accordingly. It is the dream of many fans to see their idol stars and their works in the film and television city. From May to 10, 2003, many actors were full of weight in the TV and movies started in Zhongshan City.

Zhongshan City entered the "Top Ten in China" by Xiangshan Culture.
Zhongshan, located in the hinterland of Wugui Mountain, has a small area, less investment and a small scale. Why can it stand out from more than 0/00 film and television cities (bases) in China and become the only film and television city in Guangdong Province among the top ten in China in 2006 jointly selected by China Film Association and China Television Artists Association?
Yu, chairman and general manager of Zhongshan Film and Television City, said in an interview: "Relying on the profound cultural heritage of Xiangshan and adhering to the road of characteristics, Zhongshan City can achieve today's achievements." He said that the concept of "Xiangshan culture" has created a new opportunity for the tourism industry of the three places to integrate resources and improve the competitiveness of tourism brands. Entering the gate of Zhongshan City, you are greeted by the "Zhongshan Modern Hall of Fame" where many celebrities from Xiangshan are gathered. Strolling into the city, Nanjing Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Guangzhou Uprising Command, Shanghai Sun Yat-sen's former residence, Japan Sun Yat-sen's former residence, London Police Department, American Chinatown Friendship Hall, new york Sun Yat-sen's former residence, Beijing Iron Lion Hutong ... moved to change scenery, Lingnan and exotic buildings constantly appeared in front of us, but it was always the story of Sun Yat-sen.
"Yes, the biggest advantage of Zhongshan City is that it is the only film and television city in China with the theme of celebrities." I smiled and explained that Zhongshan City, with a total investment of 65.438+0.5 billion yuan, was built along the revolutionary footprint of a great man, Dr. Sun Yat-sen. In this "small town" with an area of only 20 hectares, you can not only find almost all scenes related to Sun Yat-sen's life, but also scenes related to his time. "It is this particularity that makes Zhongshan unique in the national film and television city." Yu said that grasping and exerting the characteristics of celebrity culture is an important reason why Zhongshan can survive and develop in the fierce industry competition.
Another important reason for the success of Zhongshan City is that it contains rich regional cultural characteristics. Lush banana leaves, western-style commercial streets, simple and exquisite pull-bar doors ... cultural symbols can be seen everywhere, leaving a strong regional cultural imprint here. "Before the concept of Xiangshan culture was introduced, we just consciously put these scenes with Zhongshan characteristics together." Yu said frankly that the concept of "Xiangshan culture" made him suddenly understand that the real reason for Zhongshan's fame was Xiangshan culture. Celebrity culture represented by Sun Yat-sen, commercial culture characterized by comprador economy, overseas Chinese culture characterized by the blending of Chinese and Western cultures, and dialect culture characterized by various forms ... These important components of Xiangshan culture have been consciously maintained and continuously developed by Zhongshan City for many years, laying an unshakable and irreplaceable special position of Zhongshan City in domestic film and television cities. It receives more than 300,000 tourists every year and shoots movies and TV series 13. These two figures, which rank in the forefront of domestic counterparts, are hard indicators for Zhongshan to be elected as the "Top Ten" and make this "small town" an important window for promoting and spreading Xiangshan culture. Yu introduced that, in essence, for many years, the film crew has been most concerned about Zhongshan City, which is a scene with outstanding cultural characteristics of Xiangshan; Tourists' favorite shooting spot is a major historical scene related to Sun Yat-sen; The best-selling tourist products are commemorative products related to Sun Yat-sen and Xiangshan celebrities. "These not only show the unique charm of Xiangshan culture, but also make us clear the direction of future development." Yu said that the proposal of Xiangshan culture provided new ideas for the development of Zhongshan city.
Yu revealed that Zhongshan City, which is about to expand to nearly 95 hectares, will add Xiangshan cultural scenes with China, Zhuhai and Australia as the background, add Xiangshan cultural characteristic performances in fixed performances in scenic spots, and collect and sort out a number of movies, videos and books related to Xiangshan culture.
In Zhongshan City, there are four scenic spots that gather the essence of western architectural art in the early 20th century, reflecting the architectural styles and customs of many countries, providing a good shooting venue for film and television shooting, and are favored by the film and television industry.
