青春校園愛情喜劇《九餅、薄荷與夏天》取景台中 劇組盛讚拍片十分順利 Shot in Taichung, film crew of teen romance “Nine Pastry, Mint, and Summer” said everything went well.

青春校園愛情喜劇《九餅、薄荷與夏天》四月初開拍，全片有9成在台中取景，並由去年入圍第54屆金馬獎「最佳男配角」新生代演員李淳主演，該劇監製唐在揚盛讚台中穩定良好的天氣，開鏡至今拍攝十分順利。市府新聞局長卓冠廷日前赴拍攝現場探班，為劇組團隊加油打氣，並表示未來市府將持續努力推動影視產業及提供專業協拍服務，讓台中市成為最適合拍片的城市。

 

新聞局長卓冠廷於4月27日晚間前往《九餅、薄荷與夏天》一劇拍攝現場，特地帶著台中排隊人氣名店長崎蛋糕，關心劇組拍攝情形；金鐘影后柯佳嬿也出現在拍攝現場，她笑言這已是第五度跟李淳合作，從母子、姊弟、鄰居演到情侶「李淳在台灣拍攝的每一部戲幾乎都有我」，這次在片中飾演什麼角色、彼此關係為何，力邀請觀眾電影上映後進戲院一探究竟。

 

卓局長表示，台中除擁有舒適宜人的天氣、豐富的自然與都會場景外，這次拍攝地點選在筏子溪門戶迎賓水岸廊道，此處是市府整治河川建設的熱門景點，非常適合劇組拍片，歡迎各界前來台中取景。

 

日前《九餅、薄荷與夏天》一劇也在東豐自行車綠廊進行拍攝，男主角李淳大讚沿途綠色成蔭的優美景色令人心曠神怡，且能自在放鬆的來回騎車「根本是自行車的天堂！」直呼殺青後還要再來。

 

本身是台中人的監製唐在揚則提到，拍片期間帶著劇組演員大啖在地美食，包括第二市場知名老店專賣肉包和餛飩湯、在地人必吃的蘿蔔糕及肉圓等，讓大家讚不絕口，笑說「台中真的是美食之都！」；唐監製也盛讚台中穩定良好的天氣，開鏡至今拍攝十分順利。

 

此片的導演賴孟傑曾參與香港知名國際大導演王家衛監製作品「擺渡人」製作，他與台中的關係也很密切，父母與太太均住在台中，在工作空檔時都會回到台中休息充電後再出發。

 

卓局長指出，近年有許多劇組陸續前來台中拍片，顯示台中是座相當適合拍片的城市，台中市將持續推動影視產業及提供專業協拍服務，今年亦有在霧峰的「中台灣影視基地」將啟用，位於水湳的「中台灣電影中心」也已開工，盼吸引更多國內外人才到台中、帶動在地影視觀光發展。

College romantic comedy “Nine Pastry, Mint, and Summer” began shooting in early April, with 90 percent of scenes filming in Taichung. The movie stars the rising star, Mason LEE, who was nominated as the best supporting actor in the 54th Golden Horse Awards. Executive Producer David Tang Zai-Yang was amazed by the good weather of Taichung, which allowed the filming to go smoothly starting from the very beginning. Director-General Cho Kuan-Ting of the Information Bureau of Taichung Government visited the movie set recently to show support to the film crew. Mr. Cho expressed the government’s commitment to make Taichung the best city for shooting films, and promised to continue with the promotion of the film and television industry and provide professional assistance during filming in the future.

 

Director-General Cho of the Information Bureau visited the set of the movie “Nine Pastry, Mint, and Summer” on the night of April 27. He gave encouragement to the film crew, and brought with him the famous Castella cake from local store. Golden Bell Award winner Alice Ko Chia-yen was also present at the filming site. She laughed about working with Mason LEE for the fifth time, and said that they have played mother and son, siblings, neighbors, and couple in previous films. “I am in almost every movie Mason filmed in Taiwan,” said Ko. She invited the audience to go see the movie in theater to find out more about the roles they played this time in the new movie.

 

Not long ago, when the crew was shooting at Dongfong Green Bikeway, leading actor Mason Lee was extremely impressed with the breathtaking view along the way, and couldn’t help but shout out “It is simply heaven for biking!” LEE kept saying that he would come back again after the shooting. For David Tang, the Executive Producer, it was an honor as a “Taichungnese” to take crew members around the city to eat all the famous local street food, including pork bun, wonton soup, radish cake, and Bawan (Taiwanese meatball). The food successfully won everyone’s heart. “What a city of food!” said the crowd.

 

In recent years, more and more film crews have come to Taichung for shooting. Taichung City will continue to promote the film and television industry and provide professional assistance needed during production. The Central Taiwan Film Studio is scheduled to open this year, and the Central Taiwan Film Center in Shuinan already began construction. Taichung is expected to attract more talents from home and abroad, and will see a booming film and TV tourism industry.
