"I was very touched," Mr. Chow said of the real reasons for choosing the actors. "When I was filming, I could feel their enthusiasm. When I saw them after so long, I saw that they were still as enthusiastic, and I was very touched." He said: "Each of us is Yin Tianchou, and we are all working hard for our dreams, and I am also working hard for my dreams." He also hopes that "The King of New Comedy" will give more strength to the hard-working people in the new year, "I hope the audience will be more confident and work harder after watching the movie."

"The New King of Comedy" is a movie full of "little people". In the Spring Festival when big stars and big productions gather, many people break a cold sweat for it. In this regard, Zhou Xingchi bluntly stated that the result is not important, what is important is to convey emotion and temperature: "My purpose is always to make the audience like it, and I hope that in this work, the audience can find themselves and find hope."
