About "It Doesn't Seem to Be So Hot": The darkest moment, or rather, the highlight moment
We are comedy. Don't cry after reading it.

At the beginning of 2021, Wei Xiang and Wen Xiong came to me. I recommend the Spanish movie "Basketball Champion", I think it is suitable for adaptation and suitable for Wei Xiang to star. The company studied and judged internally, and soon contacted the copyright owner. In June 2021, I received the first draft outline of Fumio. Very neat, the character image jumps on the paper, very directorial awareness. After that, Wei Xiang and Wen Xiong went to shoot "This Killer Is Not Too Calm", and after "Killer" was completed and cut, it was about November 2021, and Wen Xiong handed over the first version of the script of "Basketball Champion".
Then, "This Killer Is Not Too Calm" was released, which became a dark horse at the box office of the 2022 Spring Festival. This is the forty-year-old Wei Xiang's first time as a movie protagonist. It is also the first time that Fumio has been a big-screen director. Fumio is 35 years old. At the end of the film, the audience can see the scene of them hugging and crying on the set.
The original film of Spain's "Basketball Champions" is about a coach who always wants to win and plays basketball with a group of disabled people who don't know what the game is. The Americans also remade, produced by Universal's Focus Pictures, starring Woody Harrelson. The Indian version of the remake is also on the march, and the public information is that Aamir Khan is starring.
In the Spring Festival of 2022, the second day of the Lunar New Year, I said to Wen Xiong, let's ask Wei Xiang out for dinner tonight to see if he floats after becoming famous overnight. We eat spiced broad beans in Kong Yiji in Chaoyang Park. Wei Xiang said, I was on Weibo hot search? How to watch the hot search?
After experiencing the ecstasy of being recognized, everyone returns to repetition and everyday creation. We decided to finish "Basketball Champions." I recommend Gao Hu as a director. Fumio participated in all the shooting, post-production, and publicity work as an executive producer and screenwriter.
In December 2022, the crew filmed for 60 days. The whole crew is basically yang. The waiters in the hotel are also sunny. Leave some garbage bags in the room. Hotel services stopped. Teacher Ma Chi, one of the producers, was given half a bottle of canned yellow peaches from production director Sun Yiming in a high fever. Presumably that delicacy made him unforgettable for the rest of his life.
We were off work for two months. The resumption of work is already April 2023. Back to Qingdao, there is no queue for nucleic acid, no masks, no health treasure. Even the test point next to the gymnasium disappeared. The pandemic is like never coming. It seems that people have never experienced it. I think this is the most important instinct in human evolution. Actively forget. Take the initiative to forget or even erase certain pains. It's like all the harm never happens. So there are four words called "unbearable to look back". Since it is unbearable, then it is better not to look back.
This is Gao Hu's first directorial work. As a cinematographer, he has shot "Sewing Machine Band", "This Killer Is Not Calm", "Changjin Lake", and immediately after finishing the post-production of our film, he immediately went to the scene of "The Condor" directed by Tsui Hark. This is the second big screen collaboration between Wen Xiong and Wei Xiang. I like the role of Wei Xiang more than the killer. He shows us more possibilities for comedians. The scene of him sitting on the ground crying shed the tears that the countrymen had endured for the past three years.
But it's just our job and our duty. It's bright, yes, Sbo's first job, paid, hard, and rewarded. While watching the post-editing, I miss them and their families terribly. When a movie is finished, no matter what difficulties I encounter along the way, I bury it immediately and laugh it off. However, I remember exactly that countless moments of irritability and frustration, Liang Liang ran over to call my name, and I immediately burst into laughter. He called my name, and to me, it was like a child with separation anxiety, grabbing the corner of my mother's clothes. I'm that kid. He healed me.
The film was about to end in time for World Autism Day. The crew arranged for me to send you some cookies. That day the final was filmed. Hundreds of young people sat in the on-site lounge. At that moment I had a kind of emotional breakdown. What is it if I send someone some cookies? I asked someone to come and film, and I sent a labor, and what I could do was very humble and weak. I gave them cookies and someone next to me took a picture. I feel bad. I know I'm a mortal. At that moment, I was still angry by my own weakness.
I'm a filmmaker. The movie was finished and I went home. Everyone in the crew returned home. There will be new invitations. Start a new project. Sbo, Liangliang, and Yes, also returned to their homes.
On September 10, 2023, the film began to meet the audience. After the official release, the film row and attendance were not ideal. Wei Xiang cried during the exhausting roadshow. I also go crazy and curse. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I gave myself half a day off. Accompany my mother to eat melon seeds at home. The autumn sun shines in the yard. Greetings from friends and peers are constantly on my phone.
At this time, I saw the circle of friends sent by Sbo's mother.
On the day of the premiere, Spotel was emotional and injured people at the scene. His parents surrounded him at the end of the corridor and coaxed him. He could not be calmed for a long time.
We can only watch from afar, helpless.
But I have never met a more loving family, a purer child, and a tougher mother than they are. I very accidentally facilitated these different perspectives. Make a movie accessible to the audience. Hahaha, I should go to the prop library to find that MVP medal. Hang it up for yourself.
We are comedy. Don't cry after reading hahahahaha. (This is a burden)
