Unexpectedly, he received a call from Cyprus as soon as he got off the plane. The Chinese restaurant he co-owned was being sold by his partner. He needed to go back as soon as possible, so he booked a return ticket at the airport as soon as he got off the plane. .

It turns out that Xia Tian’s boyfriend Dabao is in the decoration business, and he, his brothers, and Lao Wu were owed wages by the decoration company.

So the three of them went to the office of Tang Jinshan, the manager of the decoration company, and robbed Tang Jinshan of a sum of US dollars.

When escaping, Dabao wanted to keep it all for himself, so he hid the money in a clothing storage box in a bathing center, gave the key to the clothing storage box to Xia Tian, ??and hid himself.

But Dabao and Biaoyao refused to believe it, so they joined forces to ask Xia Tian about the whereabouts of Meiqian.

In order not to implicate Lao Cui, Xia Tian returned his passport to Lao Cui. After this period of getting along, they also developed a good impression of each other, and the two said goodbye reluctantly.

When Lao Cui arrived at the airport and was waiting for his flight, he received a call from Dabao. It turned out that they had kidnapped Xia Tian again and wanted to force Lao Cui to use the US dollars to redeem him.

It doesn’t matter whether the two get together in the end. If it can make people laugh happily for an hour and a half, and finally gain some insights into life, this movie has achieved its purpose.

Although Fan Wei is familiar with comedy movies, filming this movie made him suffer a lot.

In order to film the scene where Xia Tian was kidnapped, Fan Wei was hung upside down on the tower for dozens of minutes. After finishing the filming, he was exhausted, his eyes were filled with tears, and he had to hold on to the wall to stand still.

In the scene where he was running down the street wearing only a vest, the temperature was only a few degrees.

It can be seen that Fan Wei is really hard at filming, and it is precisely because of this that he can make good films. His professionalism is worth learning from.
