"I've always felt like a footballer, not an actor," he said. I also know very little about Shanghai, and I am afraid that I will not act well and disappoint the audience. Hu Ge even regarded General Fan as his idol!
However, director Wong Kar-wai has a very high evaluation and expectation of Fan Zhiyi, he believes that Fan Zhiyi has a unique temperament and charm, which is very suitable for the role of Lao Fan. He said: "I have always admired Fan Zhiyi's style of football, he is a man with a strong will and leadership.

Fan Zhiyi's wife has a lot of trust in Wong Kar-wai's directing ability, saying: "Wong Kar-wai is a very talented and creative director, and his works are full of depth and beauty.
