上海是中国电影的发祥地。作为中国最早开放的通商口岸和工商业最繁荣的城市,上海为电影的发展提供了肥沃的土壤。1896年,中国第一场“西洋影戏”的放映在上海举行;1913年,中国第一部短故事片在上海制作完成;1921年,中国第一部正式意义上的电影故事片在上海诞生。从此,电影在上海迅速发展,并逐渐形成了中国电影的现实主义传统和民族风格。 Shanghai is the birthplace of Chinese movies. As China’s earliest open ports of commerce and the most prosperous city for business and industry, Shanghai provided a fertile ground for the development of the film. In 1896, China’s first screening of “Western Films” was held in Shanghai. In 1913, China’s first short feature film was produced in Shanghai. In 1921, China’s first official feature film was born in Shanghai. From then on, the movie developed rapidly in Shanghai and gradually formed the realistic tradition and national style of Chinese cinema.
