Live: From Reel to Real – Unveiling the mystique of cinematic 'longtang' in Shanghai

A good TV drama series or movie can reflect the cultural heritage of a city, and the TV series Blossoms Shanghai and the movie She's Got No Name did just that for Shanghai. Owing to the rich historical architecture and cultural heritage attached to urban areas involved in the shows, "city walk" routes centered around the productions have become extremely popular. CGTN reporter Zhang Meng, together with Tobias Le Compte, a Belgian musician who is popular on social media for his excellent grasp of the main Shanghai dialect, and Shanghai local Yao Tianchenglong, director of Family in Narrow Alley, walk along the former "golden triangle" of the film industry near Zhapu Road in Hongkou District, where She's Got No Name was filmed, to discover the charm of "longtang" (Shanghai alleys) culture in the city.#SIFF2024
