The first time the film was shot in the middle of the summer season, Zhang Zhicheng said that he deeply appreciated the hardships of film shooting, because the shooting time was quite long, and every day began to prepare for shooting all the way to the late night from dawn, and the hot baking heat made everyone sweat. In the play, Zhang Zhicheng's character has to take care of his mentally handicapped brother, a scene where Zhicheng runs on the dock by the lake and happily takes a drink to his brother, in order to take the camera from all angles, Zhang Zhicheng runs back and forth dozens of times. In addition, in order to make money, the characters in the play do debt collection work, and Zhang Zhicheng chases up and down the old building in Hong Kong in the sweltering heat of the old building in Hong Kong for dozens of laps. Such a coolie performance aroused Zhang Zhicheng's drama compatriots to be addicted, and the first time he acted in a movie, he was fully engaged, and the performance in place made the director praise it vigorously, and he also praised himself as "the drama is correct".

Looking at the other two protagonists, Hemingway and Li Yilang, the character of the short hair, Zhang Zhicheng sourly said "Why are you so handsome and stylish with a short personality, and I will be divided", but the crew members are comforted to say that this middle division style is particularly stylish and the appearance is easy to be remembered, and the stars such as Aaron Kwok and Liang Chaowei are such a style, so handsome! So when Zhang Zhicheng acted in the plot of debt collection, he immediately added the title of "Middle Brother" to himself, indicating that this would have more courage from Gu Qizai.
