Ms. Yuan, a citizen of Xiamen, said after watching the movie that the movie was both funny and warm. She said that it is very proud that such a young and excellent director can appear in Xiamen, "It is not easy to make a movie, and everyone must give them encouragement and support." Ms. Yu, a citizen, said that she was both kind and proud to see many familiar Xiamen landmarks in the movie, "I hope that the movie will be liked by audiences across the country after its release, and I also hope that Xiamen can be known by more people." ”
Referring to the original intention of filming, Zeng Wusen said that as a native of southern Fujian, he chose to return to Xiamen to settle down after work. Because of his love for the city, he especially wanted to shoot a film with Xiamen style and southern Fujian cultural elements. "Xiamen is a city I am very familiar with, and the script of "Narrow Road "Box" Encounter" was also inspired by a young couple in a snack bar in Kaisha County, Jimei. Zeng Wusen said that he hopes that through this film, the customs and customs of southern Fujian will be shown, so that the whole of China and even the world can better understand Xiamen and Fujian.
It is reported that in recent years, with the help of the "east wind" of the "Golden Rooster", Xiamen has successively introduced a series of film and television industry support policies, and iteratively upgraded supporting services to build a better platform for the majority of filmmakers and film and television enterprises, which has greatly promoted the development of the film and television industry.
