 Giddens said, "although some of the reasons for the events in the film were changed, the main storyline remained unchanged".Asked if he was pressured by the recent success of Taiwanese films at the box office, he replied "No, I am more pressured by whether the film is nice to watch, whether it will succeed in the box office, and whether it will become an embarrassment for me.Also, if the film is not nice, it will be a letdown to Chen-tung and Michelle, who have been working so hard".
