During the Spring Festival holiday, many movies were released, and Jia Ling's "Hot and Spicy" was the first to be released.
Jia Ling lost 100 pounds from being a fat girl and a pistachio on the stage. The process can be called inspirational.
Many Guangdong friends who have watched this movie always feel that the scenes seem familiar, because this movie has been filmed in many places in Guangzhou and Foshan. Among them, Foshan has a larger number of filming locations, such as Zhongshan Park in Chancheng District and Zhongshan Park in Chancheng District. The Xiqiao Mountain National Art Film and Television City in Xiqiao Town, Nanhai District is very representative.
Foshan Zhongshan Park
Zhongshan Park is located in Zumiao Street, Chancheng and was founded in 1930.
The park is dotted with towering trees, pavilions and arch bridges. Every spring, many flowers bloom in the wind, such as cherry blossoms, redbuds, bougainvillea, etc.
This is also a favorite place for morning exercise and entertainment among local people. Every morning, many elderly people do morning exercises in the park, and many photography enthusiasts come here to enjoy and take pictures of flowers.
Zhongshan Park is where Jia Ling and Lei Jiayin went on a date. It is also the place where the relationship between "Le Ying" and "Hao Kun" in the play sublimates. The main scene was shot on the trail beside the beautiful lake in Zhongshan Park.
Zhongshan Park is considered to be the "most Foshan" literary and artistic memory. From 1930 to the present, several generations of Foshan people have left their footprints here.
Xiqiao Mountain National Art Film and Television City
Many film and television productions were filmed here, such as "The New King of Comedy", "Chasing the Dragon", "Handsome Guy", "The Keeper", "Dancing Down the City", etc.
Due to its proximity to Hong Kong and Macao and the strong Republican style of the neighborhood, Hong Kong films are particularly fond of this "shooting location".
In addition to the historical district with a rich old Guangzhou flavor, Xiqiaoshan Guoyi Film and Television City also has Hong Kong Street, Shanghai Street, etc. The small trains that shuttle back and forth are a special scenery in the neighborhood, and the nostalgic signboards make people feel like they have traveled back in time.
Every corner here is an ideal place to take photos. Many tourists wearing costumes from the early Republic of China take photos and videos here, just like people in a play. It would be very photogenic if you wear modern urban clothes and take photos here.
Guoyi Film and Television City is not as large as Hengdian Film and Television City, but the scenery categories are also very rich. In addition to the three old neighborhoods of Hong Kong, Guangzhou and Shanghai, there are also the imperial palaces of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Wong Tai Sin Temple, ancient mansions, government offices, etc. It is said that theme activities are held every year during Lantern Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Spring Festival, Halloween and other festivals. I once participated in a carnival during Halloween and it was really unique.
Travel tips: It is recommended to drive or take a taxi there. The nearby Guangdong Qiangu Scenery Area is also very popular.
