It is said that the film took nearly five years from preparation to completion, and went to Europe to shoot, which cost a lot of money. The easter egg at the end of the film also highlights several antique car props, namely:
1, Xu Cunzi's car, which is the original car of Marilyn Monroe in the movie " Seven Year Itch " in 1955.

2, the blue sports car Xu Congshu used when chasing Xibao was the 1972 Laser 917 super customized version of the sports car .

5, the taxi that Xibao took is the original car of Tom Cruise in the movie "Murder by Knife". To this day, the car still retains the traces of the filming at that time.

It can be seen that the producer is still very attentive, but even so, it still cannot hide the shoddy feeling of this film, whether it is the casting level, service design, background music, I will not repeat them here. It can be seen that this heart seems to be used in the wrong place.

is surprising, Li Yanshan is the one who played Jiang Xibao in the 1988 Hong Kong version of "Xi Bao". It is said that when the film was released, Li Yanshan's Her acting skills were well received, and Shi Tai, who has always been vicious, was full of praise for her. In this film, she plays Xibao's mother, two generations of Xibao are in the same frame, which makes people sigh at the passage of time and the wonder of fate.

Let’s talk about director Wang Danyang. I didn’t know it before. From the public information, she is a director, screenwriter, and writer. She has published "Twilight Yaoyao", "Blooming", "Three Points", "Word In 2018, she directed the film "Xi Bao". It seems that this may be her first time directing a film, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. Having said that, I dared to shoot Shi Tai's work for the first time as a director, and the courage is commendable. After all, fame in the first battle is a minority. Repeated defeats, repeated defeats, and persistent efforts are the norm in life.

As for the starring Guo Caijie and Zhang Guozhu, based on the principle of "there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand viewers", maybe they are the best candidates in the eyes of director Wang or producers, but they are definitely not in the hearts of many fans of the original novel Jiang Xibao and Xu Cunzi. Judging from the final effect and degree of completion of the film, it is indeed telling the life story of a girl named "Xi Bao", but for the film and television adaptation of literary works, this film won the most prize of the 12th Golden Broom. Disappointing screenwriter award, you can tell everyone's satisfaction with the adaptation effect. If Shi Tai had seen this version of the movie, he wondered if he would regret granting the copyright to them.

has a bright future, I hope the director and actors can make persistent efforts, see you in the next work.
