一部以中国海南和英国伦敦为故事背景的爱情喜剧电影《海南女婿-英国郎》，近日在英伦敦宣布筹备，并进入深层次的运作中。这个由旅居英国25年的文化使者杨博清先生(Mr.Richard Yang)策划、电影编剧和导演郑大为先生（Mr.David Zheng）编剧、艺术顾问Mr.Bryan P.Hughes 五位影视人联手制作的电影，是以中国著名自贸区海南省和英国首都伦敦为故事的原点和拍摄地，通过对历史的回眸，刻下的关照，以及明天的展望，淋漓尽致地讴歌了中华民族炎黄子孙深厚的“根亲”意识和宽博的爱国情怀。《海南女婿-英国郎》也将与杨博清先生的另一部以华人旅居英伦创业打拼的电影《伦敦的北京爷》构成姊妹篇，两部电影虽视角不同，但都生动再现并揭示了当代华人和英国人海外生活的真实状况和自强不息的精神实质。
在中国浩淼的南海上,镶嵌着一座风光旖旎的热带岛屿—-海南岛，先有黎、苗、回、汉等民族为世居，后来又有30多个民族陆续加入。她地处南国，风光旖旎，景色天成，文化丰富，历史悠久。海南文化历史，是一部浓郁的热带岛屿文化，她由土著民族与外来文化的水乳交融而催生长大。在漫长的历史岁月中，外来文明，从未间断过与本土文化的揉合，极大地提升了本土文化的发展，从而极大地丰富和创造了极具地域性的独特风格的海南文化。千百年来，古朴独特的民族风情使本岛社会风貌显得更加丰富多彩，其中以黎族与苗族的生活习俗最具有特色。海南民族风情质朴、敦厚、乐观、友善、开放、坚韧和勤劳，长久以来就以独特的民族文化著称于世。
海南岛面积3.54万平方公里，有着得天独厚的热带季风气候，森林覆盖率超过50%，阳光、海水、沙滩、空气、沃土养育了汉、黎、苗、回等900多万人口，他们创造出了独特的具有海南地域的特色文化。早在1840年清朝道光年间，清政府在海南岛设立了粤海关，而海口便是粤海关下设的七个总口之一。此时，海口已经成为著名的南海海关之一。进入到20世纪，1988年4月，中国海南省正式成立。2010年1月《国务院关于推进海南国际旅游岛建设发展的若干意见》开始实施，海南正式进入国际旅游岛的运行轨道。中央给出新的政策，举国之精英汇集海南，使的海南用短短30年时间建设成了一个现代化的都市。建设海南，享受阳光和海水，成了海南新时代的标志。
中国改革开放的30年间，海南得以一次飞跃发展的良机。外来人口大批涌进，他们来海南大多为来避冬—-躲开寒冷的家乡，移身温暖如春的南国异地，大批外地人到海南来寻求安乐。海南冬季所具有的温暖的阳光、新鲜的空气、满眼的美景，让他们乐而忘返。候鸟—-成了来海南的休假养老的代名词。他们冬季来海南享受温暖，到了夏季，他们还是回到内地生活。这样的大批人口涌入，大批的人口撤离，给海南当地的经济发展，并没有留下生根开花结果的效益。三十年过去了，海南在发展成为一个经济昌盛、文化繁荣地区的前行路上，依然还路途遥远。随着时间的推移，海南变成了一个南来躲避寒冬的过路居所。冬季的海南，海滩、街道、店铺，外来人无处不在。他们住着海南的居所，他们是真正意义上的短暂消费者，吃穿用—-花着大把大把的钱，而短暂的消费很难形成对驻地服务产业链条的拉动力。春天一过，大批的海南候鸟们又回到了内地，在内地做着他们的产业，投资经商赚钱，盼着来年再回到海南享受阳光温暖，海南多数住在小区，在冬季过后的四分之三的时间里是几乎是一片空寂。
春天，夏天，秋天的海南，大片大片的住宅空空如也，晚上到处是一座座幽灵般的城市，只有路灯是亮的。热带季风气候的海南，人们也像季风一样刮来，吹去。对于外省的买房人来讲，海南是个没有根的城市，除了房子，他们在海南没有经营活动，没有产业积累，缺乏文化贡献，海南没有得到经济发达的真正内涵。
一个经济发达地区，是几百年以来的经济文化积淀的产物，譬如有了矿场，有了沙滩、有了集市。人们在这个空间里劳作，交流，有了物品买卖，有了住宅，贸易，这也是城市的原型。这需要提供工作岗位，使得人们安居乐业。一个候鸟性的城市就不具备这些城市的体系，提供不了稳定的就业机会，当然人们更不会安居。没有财富和文化积淀下来，城市变成了一个没有经济文化传承的候鸟空巢。
海南建省三十年来形成了一个典型的消费型地区，消费空气、海洋、环境，但没有人想安定下来，候鸟们都在飘忽不定间过日子，因为他们不知道海南的气候是否会来台风，潮湿的天气对内地人的体质是否会有影响，不知道家乡的老邻居还能否见面叙旧，当然，站在海南的阳光下，自然还是品尝着家乡的美食佳肴，诉说着家乡里的古道热肠。除此之外，短暂的过路客，还能做什么呢？
纵观海南从南到北，开发商最快速度建设起来的建筑物千篇一律，完全重复了内地的建筑风格，到处都是高耸的楼盘，二十几层的住宅。大片大片的遮挡了美丽的风景，成片的椰林被砍伐，代之以成片的别墅拔地而起；但毫无特色千篇一律的方盒子别墅，只是带来了土地的占有和地面上成千万的财富。从南到北，没有一个海南城市的特色。如果不去海南老街，不看明清以来的雕梁老宅、骑楼古邑，不看美丽的红树林，海南已经和其他的沿海城市没有任何区别。这些难道是我们需要的吗？是我们希望留给后代的吗？
巴黎是个旅游城市，第二产业和第三产业相当发达，巴黎的高端制造业也很发达，汽车制造、造船业发达，第二产业占据了巴黎的接近7成的产值。旅游业是一个关联性很强的产业，旅游业可以带动其他产业的发展。可以有效带动建筑工程及相关行业、航空运输业、轻工业、商业、工艺美术和农副业等行业的发展。如果从罗马时代直到17世纪，英国牛津街没有闻名世界的购物街道，众多的带有时代特征的建筑物，没有超过300家的大型商场，那你去伦敦购物看什么？买什么？一条购物街可以提供当地成千上万人的工作机会，由此才为游客提供超值的购物享受。历史有无数的例子可以证明，一个有特色的城市或地区的经济发展，需要的是产业链条，是经济活动相互交织互动的内功，是经济发达，产业纷呈，服务优质，文化积淀，只有这样，才能为海南发展建设提供众多个工作机会，不管是高级人才，还是普通的劳动者，海南的就业岗位才能各得其所；只有这样，人们才能安居在海南，才能形成当地的文化传承，形成当地财富的积累与发展的后力。
2018年4月13日，习近平总书记在庆祝海南建省办经济特区30周年大会上郑重宣布设立海南自由贸易港，从此，海南历史进入新的一章，一场以服务贸易为主导的大幕正在徐徐拉开，建设的大格局已经非常明晰：以旅游为主体的服务贸易自由岛，以人流为主体的自由贸易区，以人流带动特色商品流、资金流和信息流的自由贸易区，这将是海南的一次历史性飞跃。天时地利承载旅游，旅游带人流，人流促服务，服务牵贸易，贸易拉经济。“着力打造全面深化改革开放试验区、国家生态文明试验区、国际旅游消费中心、国家重大战略服务保障区”，是海南对“国际旅游岛”目标的升华，在发展中寻求海南自由贸易港的切入口，从而加快完成思路、制度和体制上的一系列创新举措。
乘着建立海南自贸区这股春风，我们更愿意看到一个拥有海南特色的海南，拥有碧海蓝天，更拥有海南本土特色的文化传承，海南本土饮食，海南戏剧，海南特色的建筑物，海南当地的分门别类的众多的就业机会，海南规范热情的服务，这才是一个旅游城市之所需要。
为此，拍摄热爱美丽海南家乡的电影《海南女婿英国郎》，海南岛屿民族文化魅力和发展前程将成为聚焦重点。
从明朝到清朝，众多海南人下了南洋，有些人是因为政治腐败或生意破产等的迫不得已，但更多的人是因为生活贫困，苦难难挨。随着岁月蹉跎，到了当今21世纪，有近几百万的海南后裔们在海外扎根发展了，但祖辈传下来的思乡情愫还依然在血液中流淌，根亲思绪依旧，乡情念头萦绕。在此，我们在伦敦向全世界的生活在异国他乡的海南人倡议:“落叶归根，回家看看”。如今的祖国早已不是原来祖父辈们生活的场景：政治黑暗、杂草丛生、瘴气弥漫、衣不遮天、食不果腹；如今这里是一片欣欣向荣的富有朝气的土地，它同时又是你们祖辈上曾经的家。在这里，有你们祖辈的文化，有你们世世代代奋斗的身影，还有久久不能忘怀的乡音。请抽空回家看看。
电影《海南女婿英国郎》将有普通话和英文两个版本，其更突出海南地方特色和魅力，将演绎一个全新的富有朝气的海南。我们会选择海南籍的极具特色的人物出现在我们的影片里，他们会同英国的著名演员一起来演绎碧海蓝天为衬托的海南生活喜剧。如果你的父辈是海南人，不管你是第几代，有着什么颜色的皮肤，什么颜色的眼睛，请带着你的梦想，参加我们的团队，你将体会不一样的生活。你将看到父辈留下的愿望，在你身上得以实现，你将体验新海南赋予你的不一样的人生。
亲根，念祖，回家，回到海南。因为，你是海南人的后代。
作为二十一世纪奥杰文化影视（海南）有限公司的董事长杨博清先生表示：愿意与海内外一切志同道合的有识之士真诚合作，拍好这部电影，为加快建设美好的海南自由贸易港贡献最大力量。

Glittering sea, flowing waves——Dreams of Hainan
Reflections on the Film “Son-in-law of Hainan-A British Mr.Right”
Recently, a romantic comedy film” Son-in-law of Hainan- Britisher ” with China’s Hainan and British London as the background of the story was announced in London into the preparatory stage and deep operation. The film, planned by Mr.Richard Yang, acultural ambassador who has lived in the UK for 25 years, an investor of the film and television group, produced by Mr.David Zheng, who is also the screenwriter and director of the film, issued by Mr. Garry Li, a veteran media producer of Hainan TV and supervised by art coordinator Mr.Bryan P.Hughes, takes place in China’s famous free trade zone: Hainan Province as well as the British capital–London. The story, through the historical retrospect, the current care and future prospects, incisively and vividly eulogizes the profound “Root Kinship” consciousness and broad patriotic feelings of the Chinese nation’s descendants while also addressing social compounds created through cultural differences and ultimately understanding. “Son-in-law of Hainan-A Britisher ” will also be a companion to “Peking Man in London”, another film created by YangBoqing (Mr.Richard Yang), whose theme is Chinese living in London and striving for entrepreneurship. Although the two films have different perspectives, they vividly reproduce and reveal the real situation of contemporary Chinese and British overseas life and the spiritual essence of self-improvement.
In China’s vast Nanhai Sea, there is a beautiful tropical island: Hainan Island. At first, Li, Miao, Hui and Han nationalities used it as their residence for generations. Later, more than 30nationalities joined in succession. Located in the south of China, it not only has beautiful scenery but also has a natural original ecological landscape, as well as its rich culture and long history. Throughout the cultural history of Hainan, it has been a rich tropical island, which has gradually grown by the blending of indigenous peoples and foreign cultures. In the long historical years, foreign civilization has never been interrupted in the integration with native culture, and this has greatly enhanced the development of local culture, thus greatly enriching and creating a unique style of Hainan culture with its own strong ‘regional’ nature. For thousands of years, the quaint and unique national customs make the social outlook of Hainan Island appear richer and more colourful, among which the living customs of the Li nationality and the Miao nationality are the most distinctive. Hainan’s national customs are not only rustic, simple, optimistic and friendly but also open, tough and industrious, for a long time, it has been known for its unique culture throughout China.
Hainan Island covers an area of about 354,000 square kilometres. It has a unique tropical monsoon climate, and its forest coverage is over 50%. Sunshine, seawater, beach, air and fertile soil nurture more than 9 million people such as Han, Li, Miao and Hui, and they create a unique culture with Hainan regional characteristics. As early as 1840, during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing government established the Canton Customs on Hainan Island, and Haikou was one of the seven general custom points established under the Canton Customs. At that time, Haikou had become one of the famous customs in the South Sea. In the 20th century, in April 1988, Hainan Province of China was formally established. In January 2010, the “State Council’s Opinions on Promoting the Construction and Development of Hainan International Tourism Island” began to be implemented, and Hainan has officially entered the orbit of international tourism island. As a result of the new policies issued by the central government and the gathering of the elites of the whole country, Hainan has been built into a modern city in just30 years. The construction of Hainan, the enjoyment of sunshine and seawater has clearly become the symbol of a new era in Hainan.
During the 30 years of Chinas reform and opening up, Hainan has been able to make a great leap forward in its development. A large number of immigrants poured into Hainan, most of whom came to shelter from winter – their cold hometown, so they moved to warm southern places to seek happiness. It can be said that the warm sunshine, fresh air and beautiful scenery of Hainan’s winter make them delighted and forget to return.“Migratory birds”—-have become synonymous with vacations and retirement in Hainan. In winter, they come to Hainan to enjoy the warmth, and in summer, they return to the mainland to live. The influx and evacuation of such a large number of people do not leave any benefits for Hainan’s local economic development. 30 years have passed, and Hainan is still far on its way to developing into an area of economic prosperity and culture. With the passage of time, Hainan has become a passer-by for outsiders to escape the cold winter. For the winter of Hainan, on the beaches, in the streets and shops, outsiders are everywhere. They live in Hainan, so to speak, they are really short-term consumers, food, clothing, consumption – they spend a lot of money, and short-term consumption is difficult to form a pull force for the service industry chain in Hainan. When the spring is over and a large number of Hainan’s “migratory birds” return to the mainland to carry out their business, invest and make money, and look forward to returning to Hainan next year to enjoy the warmth of the sun. Frankly speaking, these communities are almost deserted for three-quarters of the time after the winter.
In spring, summer and autumn in Hainan, a large number of houses are empty. When night falls, there are ghostly cities everywhere, only the street lights are on. For Hainan, with a tropical monsoon climate, it seems that people are blown around like the storm. Hainan is a rootless city for home-buyers in other provinces. Apart from houses, they have no business activities and industrial accumulation in Hainan, which makesHainan lack of cultural contribution and it has not got the real connotation of economic development.
An economically developed area is the product of economic and cultural accumulation over the past several hundred years. For example, there are mines, beaches and markets. People work and communicate in this space. Then there is the sale of goods, housing and trade, which is also the prototype of the city. And it needs to provide jobs to make people live, work in peace and contentment. Obviously, a migratory city does not have the system of these cities and cannot provide stable employment opportunities, of course, like this; people will not live in peace. Without the accumulation of wealth and culture, the city has become an empty nest of”migratory birds” without economy and culture for inheritance.
Since Hainan was officially founded 30years ago, a typical consumption-oriented area has been formed. Consumption air, oceans and the environment, but no one wants to settle down,”migratory birds” are floating around indefinitely, because they do not know whether there will be a typhoon in Hainan, whether the wet weather will have an impact on the constitution of the people who come from the mainland, whether they can meet with their old neighbours and recall the past. Of course, standing in the sunshine of Hainan, the most relaxing thing for them is to enjoy the delicious food of their hometown and tell the stories and rumours of their hometown. Besides, what else can they do when they become temporary passers-by?
Throughout Hainan, the buildings built by developers at the fastest speed are all identical, and they completely repeat the architectural style of the mainland. They are all high-rise buildings, twenty-storey houses and they have greatly blocked the beautiful scenery. The coconut forests have been cut down and replaced by villas. But the characteristically box-like villas only bring about land possession and tens of millions of wealth on the ground. From south to north, none of them has the characteristics of Hainan city. If we don’t go to Hainan old street, we can appreciate the old houses of carved beams and ancient towns of arcades sinceMing and Qing Dynasties, and we don’t look at the beautiful mangroves, Hainan is no different from other coastal cities. Are these what we need? Do we want to leave it as a photocopy of the mainland for our next generations?
Paris is a tourist city, whose secondary and tertiary industries are quite developed. In addition, the high-end manufacturing industry in Paris is also developed, such as automobile manufacturing, shipbuilding, and its secondary industry accounts for nearly 70%of Paris’s output value. Tourism is a highly related industry. It can not only promote the development of other industries but also effectively promote the development of construction engineering and related industries, air transport industry, light industry, commerce, arts and crafts, agricultural sideline industries; to say a few. If from Roman times until the 17th century, there were no world-famous shopping streets, numerous buildings with the characteristics of the times and more than 300 large shopping malls on OxfordStreet in England, what did you enjoy seeing when you went shopping in London? What do you buy? A shopping street can provide job opportunities for thousands of people in the area, so as to provide visitors with value for shopping enjoyment. There are countless examples in history to prove that the economic development of a distinctive city or region requires an industrial chain, as well as the internal driving force of the intertwined interaction of economic activities, developed economy, industry, quality of service and cultural accumulation. Only in this way can we provide many job opportunities for the development and construction of Hainan, whether it is senior talents, orordinary labourers, and the jobs in Hainan can get their own way; only then can people live in Hainan, form the local cultural heritage and form the post-force of the accumulation and development of local wealth. In a way, tourism can help save the traditional culture.
On April 13, 2018, Chinese President XiJinping solemnly announced the establishment of Hainan free trade port at the30 anniversary conference to celebrate the establishment of the province and the establishment of special economic zones in Hainan. Since then, Hainan’shistory has gone into a new chapter, a service trade as the leading curtain is slowly pulling open, the construction of the big pattern has been very clear: tourism as the main service trade free island, the flow of tourists as the main free trade area, and free trade zone that promotes the flow of goods, capital flow and information flow by people. It can be said that this will be a historic leap in Hainan. The tourism industry can flourish because of the favourable weather and geographical conditions. Tourism drives people flow, people flow promotes service, service drives trade and trade drives economy.”Making efforts to build a comprehensive deepening of reform and opening-up pilot zone, a national ecological civilization pilot area, an international tourism consumption center and a national major strategic service guarantee area” is not only the sublimation of Hainan’s goal of”International tourism island”, but also the entry point for Hainan’sfree trade port in its development, so as to speed up the completion of a series of innovative measures in ideas and systems.
With the trend of establishing HainanFree Trade Zone, we are more willing to see a Hainan with Hainan’scharacteristics, it not only has the blue sea and sky but also has the thecultural heritage of Hainan’s local characteristics. For example, Hainan local diet, Hainan’s drama, Hainan’s unique buildings, Hainan’s local classified employment opportunities, Hainan’s standard and enthusiastic service, these are the needs of a tourist city.
For this reason, our film “Son-in-law of Hainan-A Britisher ” about loving beautiful Hainan will focus on the charm of Hainan Island’s national culture and the future of its development by bringing the traveller on a comedic and romantic journey through the city with a local who knows it well.
From the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, manyHainan people went to Nanhai Sea. Some of them had to do so because of political corruption or business bankruptcy. But more people were forced by poverty and suffering. With the passage of time, in the 21st century, nearly millions of Hainan descendants have taken root and developed overseas, but the homesickness handed down by their ancestors is still flowing in the blood, and the feelings of missing relatives and home have always been lingering in their minds. Here, in London, we are advocating to Hainan people living in other countries all over the world: “Back to our motherland, Back to our homeland”. Nowadays, there are no scenes of grandparents’ life in China: political darkness, social chaos, pestilential atmosphere, poor living conditions, hunger and poverty; Today, it is a thriving and vibrant land, and at the same time, it is the home of your ancestors. Here, there are the cultures of your ancestors, the struggles of your generations, and the country voice that you can’t forget for a long while. Please take time to go home and have a look affectionately.
The film “Son-in-law of Hainan-British Mr.Right” will have two versions of Mandarin and English, which will highlight Hainan’s local characteristics and charm, and it will interpret a new and energetic Hainan. We will choose the most distinctive characters of Hainan nationality to appear in our film, together with a famous British actor to deduce Hainan life through comedy with the blue sea and blue sky as a backdrop. To focus on an enjoyable story of a man out of place while falling in love with a new culture yet facing difficulties of its differences from his own.
If your parents are from Hainan, no matter what generation you are, what colour of skin or eyes you have, please bring your dream to join our team, and you will experience a different life. You will see the desire left by your parents come true in you, and you will experience the different life that new Hainan will give you. Get close to your roots, miss your ancestors, go home, go back to Hainan. Because, as a descendant of the Hainan people, you may find a piece of home you didn’t know you’d lost.
As chairman of 21st Century AJ Film (H.N.)Ltd., Richard Yang said: “We are willing to cooperate sincerely with all like-minded people at home and abroad to make this film perfect for the greatest contribution to speed up the construction of a beautiful Hainan free trade port”.
