"I just want to show people an unknown real British Chinese world through the stories of several generations of British Chinese." In a film called "Foreign Land? When the documentary "Hometown" is about to premiere in London, the film founder Bai Fan said in an interview.
"Hometown? Hometown featured 10 representatives of British Chinese, telling the mental journey of China immigrants from the first generation to the fifth generation. It not only records the history of Chinese in Britain 150 years, but also reproduces the earth-shaking changes in Sino-British relations over the past century and a half.
Bai Fan, the executive producer of the film, went to study in the UK in 2003 and graduated from Golden Smith College, University of London in 2007. He has always been obsessed with the video world. After graduation, he founded a media company called "C Cube" and started his own entrepreneurial process of making various video programs.
Talking about the original intention of filming this documentary, Bai Fan told reporters that at the beginning of 20 10, eight British Chinese candidates ran for parliament, which aroused widespread concern in British society. British Chinese have always been called "silent ethnic group", which broke this old impression and showed the unprecedented awakening of British Chinese's awareness of participating in politics. With the in-depth contact with eight candidates from China during the production of related programs, Bai Fan felt more and more: "This historical moment must be recorded!"
Bai Fan told reporters that it has been 150 years since Chinese set foot in Britain, but no one has ever recorded the development track of the whole Chinese community in Britain in the form of images. Neither the British nor our compatriots in China know much about the living conditions of this group. He hopes to take the opportunity of recording the British Chinese running for parliament and show people an unknown real British Chinese world through the stories of several generations of British Chinese.
This idea has been supported by many people. Liu Xiaoming, Ambassador of China to the UK, former Consul General of the Chinese Embassy in the UK, lawyer Li Zhenju, founder and chairman of the British Chinese Participation Program, and Deng, chairman of the Chinatown Chamber of Commerce in London, all provided great help for the production of the documentary.
Bai Fan said that from the beginning, he made up his mind: since this documentary is going to be done, it must be the best. So he invited David, a famous director who made movies for Hollywood? Dixon, as well as the top British documentary production team, spanned China and Britain and took 20 months to complete filming.
How to show the history of British Chinese 150 years from an international perspective is one of the biggest difficulties in this film. Bai Fan told reporters that in order to arouse the interest of western audiences, he adopted the advice of director Dixon and told a story full of China elements with British shooting techniques.
65438+1October 19, "Hometown? The premiere of "Hometown" will be held in the British Film and Television Association, and then the film will be broadcast in the mainstream British television media. Bai Fan expressed the hope that through the broadcast of this film, the British society will pay attention to the Chinese and let more British people see the development track of the Chinese community and the changes in Sino-British relations.
