This film is a mocumentary, featuring interviews with Taiwanese legislator Qiu Yi and well-known artists such as Tsai Kang-yung, Xiao S, and Ella. Due to his leading roles in the Taiwanese films "The Story of Little Bi" and "The People from the Wind Cabinet," and his direction of idol dramas like "Proposal Office" and "Tofu Boy's Kiss," Dou Zi (Niu Chengze) took to the streets to ask Taiwanese citizens about "whether they are happy." The response from the public was a unanimous shake of the head. He then engaged in discussions with "Hala Friends" producer Chen Xi Sheng (of films such as Edward Yang's "Yi Yi") and Feng Jia Rui (the father of Taiwanese idol dramas) about the chaotic state of Taiwan, including the media, attributing it all to the supernatural chaos caused by politics. The excitement from the discussions led to the idea of making a mocumentary. The filming plan was as follows: the camera would capture scenes such as actors pulling off legislator Qiu Yi's wig, the male lead self-immolating in front of the Presidential Office, and driving straight into the Presidential Office, creating the illusion that these events were not pre-planned, to see what reactions would ensue. Chen Shui-bian, who angered the public in Taiwan, is referred to as "Duck Meat Bian" because the pronunciation of his name is similar to that of a restaurant named "Duck Meat Bian" located at the corner of Wuchang Street and Zhonghua Road in Taipei. This nickname implies that the public can eat there while expressing their grievances. Consequently, the film was titled "The Wu Chang Street Uprising of a Complicated Love," which is both clichéd and revolutionary. Following this, Chen Xi Sheng agreed to be the producer, and a new crew formed with employees from Dou Zi’s company. After securing the approval for government funding (Niu Chengze did indeed obtain 3.5 million in government funding in 2005 with this plan), Dou Zi and Chen Xi Sheng set out to find investors and actors. However, shooting began with a nightmare: the male lead, Qu Zhongheng, upon hearing the shooting plan and realizing he needed to finance it himself, immediately fled. With the company’s accounts empty... In order to secure investments and ensure the film could be shot on schedule, Dou Zi did many things that he regretted later, revealing the awkward struggle of filmmakers in the poorly performing Taiwanese film industry. After an incident involving a female actress and the media, his already problematic marriage with Ning Ning (Zhang Jun Ning) was nearly on the brink of collapse. Coupled with his inability to let go of an event related to his mother from years ago, his life seemed to fall into an irreparable abyss in an instant.
