兩大女神主演電影《花咲了女孩》 鬼才導演陳宏一直誇「台中好吃好喝好好拍」 As We Like It Features Two Goddesses; Director Chen Hung-I Enjoyed the Food and Environment in Taichung
上個月開拍的國片《花咲了女孩》創作靈感來自於莎士比亞的鉅作《皆大歡喜》，更找來人氣女星郭雪芙與謝沛恩擔綱演出，全片無論男女角色皆由女性演員扮演，堪稱開創國片先例！劇組近日於台中知名飯店取景，財團法人台中市影視發展基金會執行長林盈志趁著拍攝空檔，特地送上台中人氣飲品，希望大家來台中拍片開心順利。
十年前改編自真實故事的《花吃了那女孩》，劇情寫實引起廣大迴響及不少討論，十年後鬼才導演陳宏一與資深劇場導演魏瑛娟，聯手執導的續集電影《花咲了女孩》，全片無一男性演員，更是未演先轟動，令不少影迷引頸期盼。本片為呈現劇中科幻又前衛的未來世界，協拍中心依據導演需求提出場景清單，經劇組團隊多次勘景與討論後，選定近年來以廢墟風格竄紅的植光花園酒店、日治時期台灣八景之一的台中公園，宛若走進《哈利波特》魔法世界的百利舊書坊、上億豪宅親家雲硯、深耕中部地區的潛能劍道刃心館、和紅不讓撞球間等場景，作為這次的拍攝現場；導演一見執行長就大讚「台中好吃好喝好好拍」。
陳宏一表示多年前曾跟隨廣告團隊來台中工作，對本市風光明媚的好天氣感到印象深刻，因廣告拍攝期程短，無法停留太久，此次借著長片拍攝首次走出台北以外的城市，第一直覺就想到台中，趁著拍戲空檔享受台中好風光，收工之後更不忘大啖台中美食。
探班當天，劇組團隊看見基金會帶來發跡於台中的「春水堂」珍珠奶茶，眼睛為之一亮，人手一杯直呼「so sweet」，大力感謝台中市的熱情款待。林盈志執行長表示，台中市影視發展基金會成立近三年，一直以來都努力提供最好、最專業的協拍服務，透過結合政府與民間資源，讓劇組拍攝工作順利進行，也歡迎所有影視從業人員持續來台中拍片，同時預祝《花咲了女孩》順利殺青，期待電影上映！
近年來越來越多劇組陸續前來台中大量取景拍攝，代表台中真的是個非常適合拍片的城市。未來基金會將與台中市政府新聞局攜手共創更友善的影視拍片環境，提供專業的協拍服務。此外，台中市擁有今年年中即將啟用的霧峰「中台灣影視基地」與預計明年完工的水湳「中台灣電影中心」，盼吸引更多國內外人才到台中、並帶動在地影視觀光行銷。
Inspired by Shakespeare’s “As You Like It”, Taiwanese film “As We Like It”, started shooting last month. The movie features Puff Kuo and Aggie Hsieh and all male and female characters are played by female actors, unprecedented in Taiwanese film history. While the crew was filming at a famous hotel in Taichung, Ling Ying-Chih, CEO of Taichung Film Development Foundation, visited the crew with Taichung’s popular drinks to wish them the best.
10 years ago, his Candy Rain, a film based on a true story, generated much hype and discussion. Now, 10 years later, director Chen Hung-I, with Wei Ying-Chuan, an experienced theater director, co-directed the sequel – As We Like It. Many eager fans could not wait to see this film that has generated so much type with an all female cast. To depict the sci-fi and progressive world in the film, the Production Support Division and the crew, after several location scouting trips, decided on locations including SOF Hotel (known for its ruin look), Taichung Park (one of the eight views of Taiwan during the Japanese occupation), Bai-Li used bookstore (with an interior like a scene in Harry Potter movies), billion dollar mansion Chingjia Yunyuen, Potential Kendo Association dojo (which has been providing lessons in the central area) and Homerun Billiard Hall for this movie.
Director Chen, when talking to CEO Lin, just kept singing praises to the food and movie-friendly environment of Taichung. He pointed out how impressed he was with Taichung’s fine weather years ago when he came to Taichung with a commercial production crew. Unfortunately it was a short trip and he could not stay too long. Therefore when the opportunity presented itself for him to visit another city outside Taipei to shoot a long film, he first thought of Taichung and wanted to enjoy this city when on breaks this time.
CEO Lin, while visiting the crew, brought them Chunshuitang pearl milk tea, which originated from Taichung. Each crewmember was ecstatic and thanked Taichung City’s hospitality as they savored these sweet drinks. CEO Lin stated that since its founding nearly 3 years ago, Taichung Film Development Foundation has been sparing no efforts in providing the best and most professional film production support service. By combining public and private resources, the foundation helps film crews shoot their films without obstacles. The foundation welcomes all film companies to shoot their films in Taichung and CEO Lin wished the best of luck to the filming of As We Like It and looked forward to seeing it in the theater
