剧情简介
Just over 40 years ago, marriage in China was arranged by the state. Romantic love was seen as a capitalist concept and was not allowed during this period. Wedding photography (if any at all) consisted of one black and white passport photo of the couple (dressed in Mao- style outfits) as proof of the marriage. Now, China has fallen in love with love and its exploding wedding industry is worth 80 billion dollars, and it is on an upward curve. Pre-wedding photography is one of the most significant and curious parts of the industry. Every couple marrying in China will take part in a pre-wedding shoot. It involves several costume and backdrop changes where you can become a character in any fantasy you choose. For the most exotic lo- cations couples pay up to $250,000 AUD. Pre-wedding photo shoots have become an important national ritual. They are proof of the marriage but now also of love, romance, freedom, status, money and the new China Dream. As an expat living in Shanghai with a long history of coming to China, Sinophile photographer Olivia Mar- tin-McGuire was captivated by the construction of dreams through this booming photographic world. Once she started to delve deeper into this new traditional she found a unique window into China. One that revealed a country dreaming, a country rapidly booming and a country reconstructing its recent past trauma all through their own lens. China Love takes us on a wild journey into the warmth of the family web in China into the hearts of our characters and into their personal dreams with an understanding of why and where these aspirations come from. The project explores China's new position as a globalised country from its restrictive and highly traditional past - through the window of its booming wedding industry and asks what is the new China Dream when it comes to love.

头脑中幻想着一切的美好，裹着租来的华服饰品，吃着2元一根的烤肠，穿着球鞋踩在现实的坚硬地面上，在照相机中留下绚丽虚幻的影像。这一切在其他国家的人看来确实挺魔幻的。

理解不了花那么大价钱拍很假的结婚照，但好像又能理解一些。
无意中看到，以为是探讨爱情，实则在记录中国人的婚姻观，甚至和爱情关系不大，婚姻并不完全和爱情划上对等，婚纱照又如何代表中国人的婚姻期许，印象最深刻就是某知名婚纱照品牌的slogan“将幸福产品全球化”，多讽刺啊，幸福是一种产品，有钱就能买到，关键是反驳的言语怎么雄辩有力也没有现实来的沉重一击更能让人信服
