國片《生生》取景台中光復新村 營造寧靜場景與生命題材衝突感 Taiwanese Film Sen Sen Was Shot in GuangFu Village of Taichung with a Great Contrast Between the Serenity and the Issue of Life and Death

為打造台中友善拍片環境，台中市政府成立影視發展基金會，協助影視人員在台中享有便利的拍片環境，陸續吸引多部影視劇到台中取景。其中，由新聞局輔導補助200萬元的國片《生生》，在台中取景超過60%；新聞局副局長呂美莉分享片中背景光復新村的寧靜氛圍，連結電影生命教育題材，所營造的衝突感，讓觀影者陷入劇情的張力。導演安邦也期待《生生》讓影迷學習面對死亡途中的「生命哲學」，以及接受親人死亡的「日常生活」。

 

感動人心的《生生》不僅榮登今年金穗獎開幕片，也入選台北國際兒童影展，並在雪梨台灣影展橫掃票房，將於8月31日台中文心秀泰、站前秀泰戲院等全台19間戲院上映。今(9)日導演安邦率領劇中演員吳至璿(童星)、嚴藝文、蔡亘晏，到市府舉辦宣傳記者會。新聞局副局長呂美莉、台中市影視發展基金會副執行長吳蓓琳也到場，預祝電影票房長紅。

 

呂副局長感謝導演選中台中拍片，片中多處取景台中，包括光復新村、大里仁愛醫院、玉蘭谷休閒農園、博館路及育德路口等。市府近幾年積極打造台中成為友善的影視製播環境，除了成立台中影視發展基金會，引入民間相關影視業者，打造單一窗口，而影視藝文空間「中山73」今年也動工，目標營造成為舒適的文化空間場域，吸引更多影視業者到台中拍片。

 

呂副局長分享《生生》帶來的生命感動，電影的生命教育題材以光復新村為背景，創造時光隧道、寧靜與死亡的衝突感，期待大家到電影院支持國片，體驗人生不同階段面對生命與生活的精髓。

 

「一部說再見的故事!」導演安邦也分享當初拍此片的想法，他在國小時曾經歷朋友的媽媽生病，那是頭一次知道「死亡」兩字，隨著人生不同階段面對生命，也產生不同人生體悟，因此，希望拍一部片給自己、也協助需要面臨死亡的每一個人可擁有的態度。

 

金鐘影后嚴藝文則說，起初很排斥這劇本，因為涉及死亡的劇情，讓她想起甫逝世的父親，但是經過導演分享故事，讓她很感動決定接受拍片，並拍攝過程中，反而釋放生活中面對死亡的起伏情緒。

 

另外，片中女主角香港影后鮑起靜雖然沒有出席會場，但特別錄製影片，她讚賞台中舒適美麗的生活環境，並透露自己第一次來台拍戲，對於台灣的美食和熱情民眾感到印象深刻，在台中光復新村拍攝時，她感覺光復新村是個寧靜且高樓大廈不多的地方，比起很都市化的香港有更多不同的面貌，更有種令人平靜的感覺。

 

新聞局指出，《生生》講述熱愛直播的網紅奶奶(鮑起靜飾演)，用樂天幽默的心情面對生命的最後一段100天的路程，並和失去親人的孤單小男孩(吳至璿飾演)成為忘年之交，交織成一段笑中帶淚的感人故事。更多電影資訊，請查詢華映官方臉書粉絲團( http://bit.ly/2OVVG3G )，以及《生生》官方臉書粉絲團( http://bit.ly/2nmWthm )。

Taichung Film Development Foundation was established as the city government’s effort to build an environment conducive to film making. The foundation provides support for film crews, giving them a smooth experience in Taichung. As the result, many movies and TV dramas have chosen Taichung for filming. Among them is Sen Sen, a domestic movie that has received 2 million NTD in subsidy from the Information Bureau, with 60% of the movie filmed in Taichung. Sen Sen, a touching and emotional movie, was selected as the opening film for this year’s Golden Harvest Awards & Short Film Festival. It was also nominated for the Taiwan International Children’s Film Festival and enjoyed huge box office success in the Taiwan Film Festival in Sydney. The movie will be shown in 19 theaters across Taiwan on August 31.

 

 

Deputy Lu of the Information Bureau thanked the director for filming the movie in various locations in Taichung, including GuangFu Village, Jen-Ai Hospital is Dali, Yulan Village Leisure Farm, intersection of Boguan and Yude Road, etc. The Taichung City Government, in recent years, has been committed to transforming the city into an environment conducive to film/TV production. It has established the Taichung Film Development Foundation, with private film companies as its members, to become the single window to provide production support. In addition, construction for Chung Shan 73 Film & Art Center also started this year, which aims to be a welcoming and comfortable cultural space to attract more filmmakers to Taichung.

 

 “A movie about saying goodbyes”, this is what Director Bon An said when talking about filming this movie. He said when he was in elementary school, a friend’s mother was sick. That is when he first learned about death. As we enter various stages of life, our perception towards life changes. Therefore he wanted to make a movie for himself and for every single person who has to face death in their lives.

 

Sen Sen is about a grandmother famous for her live streams and how she faces the last 100 days of her life with positivity and humor. In the process, she became good friends with a lonely little boy who lost a loved one recently. The story is full of laughter and tears.
