Zhuo Yizhu, the chief screenwriter, cried uncontrollably after watching the movie. He, who already had a stutter, was completely speechless.
He bowed repeatedly to his mentors, Yang Yajing and Song Qi, feeling satisfied regardless of the box office results.
At the December premiere, Xia Changlong and his wife swaggered into the venue. It was a closed premiere, attended only by industry professionals, including film critics, heads of various cinema chains, as well as many renowned directors and preliminary judges of competitions.
