Before and after 2012, Zhou Wenwubei changed from TV to film and television. He wanted to make a TV station as a background, telling the news section team's youth to the workplace. The project was later shelved. He constantly revised the script and finally decided to make a movie in 2018.

"Everyone has become a media through social media. In such an environment, how should our mainstream entertainment news media deal with themselves? How should we assume social responsibilities? How to control entertainment news? At the same time, I also hope to arouse everyone's reflection , How to face entertainment news? Facing the so-called gossip, what role should the public play in the secondary and tertiary dissemination of gossip? I think these questions may be something that our movie can have a chance to cause everyone to think. ." Zhou Wenwubei talked about the thinking of filming in this way.
In his opinion, the "life cycle" of most entertainment news hotspots is only 48 hours, so he hopes that movies are to tell stories that happen within 48 hours, not focusing on love, but just showing the fast-paced working state of media professionals.

Of the two films that have been filmed, the first one shows the crew circle, the second one will enter the celebrity’s family and marriage; and the third one, he currently envisions to unveil various annual ceremonies in the film. The story behind the scenes.
"So every movie takes the audience to eat a big melon. But while we are'eating melons', we hope to arouse, including our media colleagues, including our audience, and hope to cause everyone to think."

joined the group after experiencing life, Zhou Wenwubei was also quite satisfied with the performance of these actors: "We are quite true to the whole state of the TV program. I think the degree of restoration is quite real. Especially for the second part, we The performance of several young actors is closer to the real status of this role, so I can say that the first part is that everyone is getting better, and the second part, it can be said that there is a burst of acting skills. "
heroine Yu Jiamiao still remembers herself until now. The experience of interviewing as a reporter when experiencing life: "There was an offline activity of a star at the time.

In his opinion, in this self-media era, the problems that the media need to face are becoming more and more obvious, and the media’s sense of responsibility to society is becoming more and more important:
"There is a core key word in journalism theory. It’s impossible to restore 100% of the information in the media. This is a basic communication theory. Therefore, any secondary communication will bring some values of the media itself, or secondary processing. Therefore, our media people, including self When a media person spreads, his own original intention is particularly important. I think the movie’s discussion on this point is out of date."
