The Bund is not only a symbol of Shanghai, but also a microcosm of China's modern history. This time, the well-known documentary director Zhou Bing led the "Forbidden City" team to cooperate with the Shanghai Documentary Channel to launch two versions of "The Bund", a movie and a TV version. In the view of director Zhou Bing, if "The Forbidden City" is a country's public memory, "The Bund" should be a fable full of various dreams. "In the 5-episode TV version, there are many major events, and in the 90-minute film version, there are stories about fate and feelings." Choosing historical figures such as Eileen Chang, Zhou Xuan, and Hart as the protagonists of the documentary, and inviting actors to play them, has become a new attempt for "The Bund" that is different from previous domestic documentaries. The British and French documentary directors joined the early planning, and the exclusive video materials obtained from the French National Institute of Audiovisual Research and Gaumont Films also injected elements that the international market values into "The Bund". Ying Qiming, director of the documentary channel, said that documentaries also need to pay attention to the market. "The Bund", with an investment of 13 million yuan, is one of the largest documentary projects in China. While insisting on being close to historical facts and fulfilling the documentary's mission, it also hopes to be able to enter theaters and become a trial for the marketization of Chinese film documentaries.
