Jill表示有兩個原因選擇在長洲取景，首先是長洲的感覺像他小時候的香港。「我喺80年代長大，電影講嘅中學係97/98嗰個時候，即係我細個時嘅長洲，你落船可以去食碗仔翅，跟住食糖水，食山炸雞髀，然後去茶樓飲茶，嗰陣仲有點心車。」 [Jill (Leung) mentioned two reasons for choosing Cheung Chau as a filming location. Firstly, the atmosphere of Cheung Chau still evokes the essence of Hong Kong from his childhood. "I grew up in the 1980s, and the school depicted in the film is set in 1997/98, which is like the Cheung Chau from when I was young. You could take a boat to enjoy a bowl of shark fin soup, then have Tong sui, eat fried chicken legs, and go to the tea house for dim sum. Back then, there were still dim sum carts."]

The Dharma Sun is actually an astronomical mirage of the sun, and seeing it is believed to bring good fortune. "There are things we cannott see, but they still exist. It is like feeling that something has disappeared, but in reality, it has not."]

Is he, at heart, a romantic person? Jill Leung: "I think so!" Natalie Hsu, who was besides him, nodded vigorously. He continued, "The plotlines of action films are different, but we always focus on character development. If the characters are appealing, everything else will be appealing too, so this time we are still writing characters. I've always liked romance films, but there are very few of them in Hong Kong and around the world."]
