Lotus Blossom

Lotus Blossom (1921)

The film is perhaps the only remaining example of silent era cinema from a Chinese-American production company, and was co-written, co-directed (with Francis J. Grandon) and produced by James B. Leong, who changed his name from Leong But-jung after emigrating from Shanghai in 1913. Of the seven reels that originally comprised 'Lotus Blossom,' only one (the fifth, running for 12 minutes at 20fps) is known to survive. This remaining reel of film is now available on Disc 2 of the DVD Collection "More Treasures from the American Film Archives," and was preserved by the UCLA Film and Television Archive.

흥미로운 사실

Lotus Blossom is a 1921 Chinese-Japanese film written and directed by Shanghai-born Japanese actor James B. Leong and Frank Grandon.

Production

The film was produced in Los Angeles and was financially backed by the support of Chinese and Japanese merchants. The cast was largely Chinese, but Leong and co-director Francis J. Grandon did cast two white actors—Tully Marshall and Noah Beery—to play Chinese and Japanese roles, as was common at that time. The film took around six months to make, and it had a budget of around $100,000.
