Speaking of the original intention of filming the film, director Yin Ruoxin revealed that as early as 2019, she was attracted by the news about the "Wandering Brothers" reported by CCTV's "Today's Statement". The brother in the news report was named Ma Liang. His mother left home when she was 3 years old. He ran away and never came back. His father was busy with business, so Ma Liang was left unattended. After dropping out of junior high school, Ma Liang began to steal and wander around, and met another "orphan" Xuan Xuan who had the same problem as him. Xuanxuan's parents were pregnant before marriage, her mother ran away, and her father worked outside. The only ones left at home are my grandfather, who makes a living by picking up garbage, and my grandmother, who is paralyzed in bed.

Ma Liang and Xuan Xuan met, and the two reached a "cooperative" relationship: Ma Liang went to steal, and Xuan Xuan sold the stolen goods as a child - Ma Liang used the money gained from the theft to buy clothes, snacks, and toys for Xuan Xuan. The two gradually developed a brotherly feeling.

In terms of authenticity,

looks at the brothers’ experiences from a companionship and head-up perspective, hoping to show the inner colors and emotional needs of the characters, “when they are happy, when they walk into the sunshine, when they They are happy when they share delicious food and build their own little home. Then when they enter danger or a cramped dark corner, and end up without a home, everything becomes cold and dark, and violence will be involved. They make them feel in danger."

In Yin Ruoxin's view, Ma Liang has a piece of his heart deep inside. A clear and pure place, this place is the most kind, the sunniest, and the place where we most hope to have a sense of order and stability in our lives. Xuan Xuan pried open this part of Ma Liang's body bit by bit. Ma Liang would not let Xuan Xuan steal things. When he and Xuan Xuan were together, he would smile and have very happy moments. Yin Ruoxin said that Wang Junkai not only has the characteristics of a sunny boy, but also shows the struggle and depression of the character Ma Liang in a criminal situation.

The character will think a lot and make full preparations, including experiencing life and observing various people on the street. When this part of his rational analysis is exposed in the performance, it will help him to be measured and measured in an orderly manner. ”

After Ma Liang found that his shoelaces were loosened, he not only did not tie his shoelaces, but even loosened them with his hands. Removed the already loose shoelaces. The director revealed that this idea was proposed by Wang Junkai himself. Wang Junkai explained that he felt that Ma Liang had habitually escaped from the beginning, but this time he stopped escaping and used the loose shoelaces to materialize his inner feelings. He finally stopped in the sunshine, implying that he hoped to welcome the light. In Yin Ruoxin's view, the role of Ma Liang has already grown on Wang Junkai.
