Director's statement

Accidentally I met a group of middle school students who love bridge games and were also provided with professional instructors by their school. I was very curious, so I went to watch them train and play. It is very interesting, and I think it’s also a good movie theme. Personally I love this kind of story but it seems that there is no movie of the same type at the moment. It is both a challenge and an opportunity without any precedence and reference. I decided to make this youth film combing sports film and gambling film. Since it is difficult for most people to understand the complicated rules of the bridge, we have to weaken the rules’ part and the competitive process. Meanwhile, we need to emphasize on the impact and emotional changes that the game brings to them, which could make the story more youthful and exciting.
