The Nine Shanghai’s Jody Xiong Directs New Tourism Film 'Fascinating' for Shenzhen, China
On September 27, World Tourism Day, Shenzhen, China released 'Fascinating,' a 12-minute city symphony celebrating technology, romance, and imagination.
The music video, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Jody Xiong, blends Chopin-inspired piano motifs with tidal symphonies, rock-metal energy, and waltz.
Breaking away from convention, Xiong fuses Shenzhen’s Eastern charm with postmodern and futuristic aesthetics, revealing the city’s dual spirit – from its dazzling skylines and cutting-edge industries to its poetic, dreamlike essence.
The film’s surreal imagery includes scenes of tidal chanting, fish leaping through stars, and reflections of the city’s physical and spiritual worlds, showcasing both its familiar rhythms and unexplored wonders.
Xiong, founder of The Nine Shanghai and the visual effects director of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, was ranked the No.1 most awarded Chinese creative leader in Campaign Brief Asia’s 2024 Creative Rankings.
