Preproduction
At first, the director wanted Shen Teng to lose weight, so Shen Teng went to the gym to apply for a card, hired a personal trainer, and ran 5 kilometers every day. As a result, his ankle and hip joints were injured and he couldn't exercise, so he asked Shen Teng to gain weight and keep his weight under control. About 163 pounds.[7]
In order to adapt to the role of a fat man, Zhang Yiming stretched out his belly to develop obesity marks, and ended up gaining more than 175 pounds.[7]
Peng Damo had the most difficult time filming the football scene. The football scene in the film was shot for more than 20 days. It was originally planned to only show a few minutes, but because it was too laborious to shoot, he was reluctant to delete it, and finally it was left in the final film. More than ten minutes.
Reception
Box office
The film has earned CN¥2.547 billion at the Chinese box office,[1] making it one of the highest-grossing Chinese films of the year as well as the twelfth highest-grossing film there.
