After three years, the young heroes return. Born among the weeds and living like lions! The story background of the movie ‘I Am What I Am 2’ moves out of Guangdong and comes to the prosperous Shanghai. As soon as the protagonist A Juan and others appear, they amaze the audience’s eyes. Not only because of the familiar costumes and the red lion head shape, but also because of the Chenghuang Temple in Yu Garden, Shanghai, where they are located at that time.
The highly layered spatial arrangement and the extremely contrasting lighting effects make the audience seem to be in the Chenghuang Temple square surrounded by traditional characteristic buildings. The visual effect is maximized and the sense of immersion is immediately enhanced, making people want to go and check in on the spot immediately. In fact, the iconic landmarks of Shanghai that appear in this film also include the Oriental Pearl Tower, Suzhou Creek, Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, Waibaidu Bridge, Chenghuang Temple in Yu Garden, Jinjiang Amusement Park, alleyways, small rooms between two houses, vegetable markets, breakfast stalls, night market food stalls and abandoned construction sites. These scenes not only show the modern style of this city of Shanghai, but also capture the life atmosphere of the bottom-level market, further demonstrating the urban characteristics and cultural heritage of Shanghai.Location of ‘I Am What I Am 2’
