Following "The Invader," Wang Xiaoshuai is finally set to direct a new work, distinct from his previous projects, as he will helm his first documentary "My China." Recently, director Wang Xiaoshuai and his wife, producer Liu Xuan, appeared at the Incheon Docs Port documentary investment conference, where Wang revealed that this 90-minute documentary serves as a visual representation of a personal journey for him. For the first time, he will appear as the main subject on camera, following his family's migration and societal changes through his own footsteps and perspectives, narrating the realities and history that occur on Chinese soil. In a media interview, Wang Xiaoshuai stated, "This time, I am a 'newcomer' to documentaries; the changes in China are so drastic, with many things soon disappearing from people's sight. Documentaries serve as a witness and record, and I feel it is my duty." From a personal perspective, Wang Xiaoshuai expressed his intention to showcase the evolution of an ordinary Chinese family through this film. One narrative thread follows his father's lineage from Shandong Qingdao, across the Yalu River to Dandong, Liaoning, and then south along with his father's footsteps to Hefei, Anhui; the other thread follows his mother's lineage from Jiaxing and Shanghai, traveling north to Beijing and then through central cities like Taiyuan, Nanjing, Shanghai, Jiading, and Nantong, ultimately landing in Hefei, merging with his father's family, as if drawing a circle in China's central and eastern regions. Additionally, the director will revisit the filming locations of "The Bicycle Thief," which is the place where he has lived the longest. His camera will focus on quiet young people in cubicles, immobile workers amidst factory noise, aimless crowds in the stock market, disappearing natural villages, and hastily constructed new rural areas, all these commonplace images portraying a contemporary Chinese societal landscape that Wang Xiaoshuai is concerned with. The director stated that this film is an experiment merging moving images with still photography, differing from traditional documentaries, as it aims to present the feeling of photography through dynamic imagery. In the trailer, we hear Wang Xiaoshuai's voiceover: "Is this China?" "Is this today's China? Yesterday's China? Or tomorrow's China?" The unanswered visuals gaze back with the echoing voice, perhaps providing the audience with an opportunity for dialogue. Notably, in June of this year, Wang Xiaoshuai's company, Dongchun (Shanghai) Film Co., was announced. It is reported that the company has launched film projects that are beginning to pursue a commercial route, with Wang himself becoming a supervisor for commercial projects. However, in his own creative endeavors, he is reluctant to be swept away by the currents of the commercial market and remains focused on exploring a craftsman spirit, meticulously creating "My China." It is reported that "My China" is still in the production stage but has already been selected for several international documentary project showcases, including the most important documentary platform in the world—the Amsterdam International Documentary Festival (IDFA). The film is co-produced by Beijing Dongchun Cultural Communication Co., Ltd. and Chinese Shadows, and it is expected to complete all investment solicitation by June 2017.
