LIFE HERE







INSPIRATION














When I was doing a random interview on the streets of Hangzhou, I met a real estate agent from Beijing. I talked with him while walking, and recorded the interview with my phone.

当我在杭州街头随机采访时,我遇到了一位来自北京的房地产经纪人。我一边与他走着聊天,一边用手机录下了采访内容。


This conversation made me notice that more and more vounc people tend to move "against the current" to small cities, rather than choosing big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, these so-called "first-tier-cities" as in the traditional impression.

这次谈话让我注意到,越来越多的青年人倾向于“逆流”地迁往小城市,而不是选择北京、上海等大城市,这些传统印象中的所谓“一线城市”。








RESEARCH
To get a better understanding of this phenomenon, I investigated the range of one kilometer around a subway station. I found that there are 16 real estate agents densely distributed in this range. In chatting with them, I recorded the young generation's different ideas about the first-tier-cities with great life pressure.

According to a report on The employment of Chinese undergraduates in 2021 released by MyCOS Research Institute, the proportion of graduates in the class of 2020 working in the four first-tier cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen was 17 percent, down 3 percentage points from the class of 2019. Meanwhile, the employment rate in the 15 new first-tier cities was 27 percent, up 1 percentage point from the class of 2019.

为了更好地理解这一现象,我进行了一些研究。过程中,我渐渐了解年轻一代对于生活压力较大的一线城市的不同看法。


Based on the above research, I created a fictional image of a dog who chose to live and work in Hanazhou from Beilina. At the same time. some obvious human features were removed from the previous recordings to complete the sound collection.

基于上述研究,我塑造了一个虚构形象,一只选择从北京搬到杭州生活和工作的狗。与此同时,我从之前的录音中删除了一些明显的“人类特征“。





DESIGN
As the prototype of the interview was form Beijing, I referred to an ancient Beijing dog--Jingba dog in my character design, and imagined the scene if it really existed and what he's life would be like in Hangzhou.

由于采访的原型来自北京,因此在我的角色设计中,我参考了京巴狗,并想象了如果它真的存在,它在杭州的生活会是什么样子。

Among that, I am most satisfied with the design of the flying butterfly. Just like dogs chasing butterflies in the real world, the main character of this film is also chasing his own dream.

其中,我将电影的主人公追逐的房子、汽车等物质具像化——蝴蝶,在影片中,主人公也在追逐他自己的梦想。
