According to Maoyan Professional Edition data, as of 0:00 on February 14, the total box office of the Spring Festival movie " Hot and Spicy " exceeded 1.6 billion yuan. Do you know what’s behind the box office success? During the filming period of more than two years, a large number of live shots of "Hot and Spicy" were shot in Panyu, Guangzhou.
According to the official Guangzhou co-production agency of the film, the film will start shooting in Guangzhou in September 2022 and wrap up around November 2023. The filming period will span two years and will be shot in many places in Guangzhou, including Hualong and Shiqiao in Panyu. , Shi Qi all have scenes, of which the shooting in Hualong accounts for about a quarter of the film.
Although Jia Ling has disappeared from the public eye for more than a year, the neighbors in Panyu have actually seen her at their doorsteps from time to time in the past two years. If others watch "Hot and Spicy" to see Jia Ling's weight loss results, many Panyu neighbors also want to see another thing, and that is the "Easter eggs" in the scenes in the movie. During the movie, you may also see people being raped. Yourself or someone you know in the mirror.
Shiqiaoguanbian Road is one of the scenic spots. Here, on one side are self-built buildings with unique characteristics, and on the other side are large banyan trees growing lushly. The atmosphere of Lingnan life blows in your face. As a native of Panyu, I can naturally recognize these scenes in the movie at a glance.
Shiqiao, as the center of Panyu, has the strongest authentic Panyu style. Although it does not have the dazzling prosperity of CBD, it has the warmth of household lamps. It does not have the high-speed flow of people and traffic, but it has the charming fireworks of slow life.
In addition to Shiqiao Guanbian Road, Panyu and Hualong and Shi Qi were successively filmed by the crew. During the filming of the film, many neighbors reported meeting the crew in front of their homes. In the film, Longyuan Road in Hualong Town is highly featured. As a two-way, two-lane main road in the central block of Hualong Town, it is 920 meters long and belongs to the "heart" of Hualong.
Longyuan Road developed from the "Xiwei" in the past. From ancient times to the present, there are many teahouses and shops here, which is very lively. In recent years, with the rapid development of Guangzhou city, Longyuan Road has gradually gained new vitality. Here, on one side is the strong smell of fireworks in the city, on the other side is the hot and hot life.
During the filming process of "Hot and Spicy" in the streets and alleys of Longyuan Road, due to the large number of real-life shooting scenes, the large number of crew members, and the complex shooting equipment, the support requirements for on-site transportation, public security, etc. were particularly high, and the main creators and actors were due to schedule issues. The entry requirements are urgent and the shooting time cycle is long.
In order to ensure the ideal shooting effect, the Hualong Town Government attached great importance to it and actively carried out pre-setup, coordination and communication work with the photography team. At the same time, in conjunction with the shooting work, it closed Longyuan Road, the main road in the town, and coordinated the diversion of 5 bus lines. The warm and hospitable Hualong neighborhood also provided the greatest understanding and support, allowing the intense shooting work to proceed smoothly as scheduled.
Pork offal porridge, ginger milk, chicken stew, mutton stew... The food is in Guangzhou, the taste is in Panyu. It is not easy to lose 100 pounds in Panyu, a place full of delicious food. The fragrant aroma of delicious food, the noisy voices, the busy traffic... There is the self-consistency of slow life here, and there is also the compactness of Guangzhou Metro Line 3. All kinds of sounds interweave the lively night of Panyu, depicting a scene unique to Panyu People's "hot and hot".
