The azure sky, the blue sea, the fascinating Lover Dam, the dappled stone stairs, the sailing boats, and the World Architecture Expo can be shot into a beautiful landscape picture at all angles.
Li Miaoxue, director of The Floating Landscape, once said that she chose to shoot this film in Qingdao because she had ever seen a landscape picture called “Snow-like Pear Flowers in Dengying” in a travel book and she found the scene in Qingdao which then inspired some important plots of the film. In the past several decades, Qingdao has always been the focus of cameras. What they want to capture is this gripping romance.
Film crews enjoy the climate in Qingdao very much. Besides, the sky in Qingdao is very clear, and the blue sky and white clouds in sunny days provide excellent picture effect, which effectively shortens the shooting period and saves the shooting cost.
Since the 1970s, actors of such films as Little Flower and Storm Over The South-China Sea were chosen from Qingdao. And since then, many Qingdao actors like Tang Guoqiang became very famous. As the hometown of a great number of actors, Qingdao enjoys a great reputation in this field. The beautiful girls and handsome boys in Qingdao also become a reason for film crews to shoot scenes in Qingdao. At present, there are thousands of extras working for various film crews in Qingdao.
As the world’s largest film and television industrial park as well as the world’s only project that integrates comprehensive functions such as exterior scene, production, exhibition and tourism of film and television, theLingshan Bay Film and TV Culture Industrial Park of Qingdao West Coast New Area is designed with several projects including the Film and Television Industrial Park, the Grand Theater, the star hotel complex, the Yachting Center and the coastal bar street, which is an updated version of “Hollywood + Disneyland”.
