If there is a place in Shanghai where you can relive the old dream of Shanghai Beach, it is the Shanghai Film and Television Park. Shanghai in the 1930s has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with the broadcast of various film and television works, but now the city is full of high-rise buildings, and it is no longer what it was like 80 years ago.
The Shanghai Film and Television Park is located in Chedun Town, Songjiang District, with a total investment of 1.5 billion yuan. Many famous film and television works have been filmed here, such as the most representative "New Shanghai Beach", "Deep Love" "Rainy Mengmeng", "Lust, Caution", "Dance with the Wolf", etc., of course it is also a tourist attraction.
In the old streets and alleys, various posters are posted on the walls, taking the time back to 80 years ago. Men and women wearing formal dresses and cheongsams rode rickshaws in and out of dance halls and theaters, fashionable and glamorous.
Nanjing Road and Nanjing West Road in the 1930s, Shanghai Shikumen Alley, and Shanghai Old Town are all the most distinctive and nostalgic scenes. Although there are bits and pieces preserved in the urban area, there is always no atmosphere.
The trams on Nanjing Road drive slowly and make clanging noises. Many people come to Shanghai Film and Television Park specifically to experience the feeling of trams back then.
The three major department stores, Xianshi, Yongan and Xinxin, which opened in the early 20th century, face each other. Sanyang Nanhuo Store, Shen Dacheng Dim Sum Store, Rishenglou, Shengxifu Shoes and Hats Store, Yiyi Lotte Teahouse, Wang Xingji Fan Shop, Hengdeli Watch Shop, and Zhang Xiaoquan Knife and Scissors are all well-known old brands.
Too many stories happened along the Suzhou River. Many works set in this era were intentionally shot along the Suzhou river.
An old-fashioned train carriage, used as a prop for filming, is parked by the river. Zhejiang Road Bridge is a steel bridge that has appeared in TV series such as "Flying Tiger and Condor", "New Shanghai Beach", "Agent Team No. 5", "Shanghai King", "New Shanghai Beach" and "Piao Shuai".
In Qiong Yao's 2001 work "Love in the Rain", there is a scene in which Lu Yiping, played by Zhao Wei, jumps from a road bridge in Zhejiang, which was filmed here.
The market scenes here are very familiar and have appeared in many TV series. Go to "Tianxiangli" or Shanghai Old Street adjacent to Nanjing Road to take a look at the "Shikumen" with Shanghai characteristics and feel the sentiment of Shanghainese.
If you happen to catch up with the filming scene, it will be lively, with a group of extras dressed up and waiting to go on stage.
There is also a group of students who are filming a short film, and the director is telling them the lines, which looks very interesting.
The scenic area is very large, covering more than 1,000 acres. In addition to the old Shanghai style, there are also European and American villa styles, Jiangnan water towns, churches, etc., which are very suitable for taking pictures.
