Many of the inspirations in the film are based on Stephen Chow's own real experience. When conceiving the filming of "King of comedy", Stephen Chow and Tian Qiwen talked about the role of some small people, so many stories of Stephen Chow's early work and life were added to the play
.
In the film, Number One was shot to death by Du Juan'er after she changed into a priest costume, but until Du Juan'er solved all the bad guys, Number One was still performing an "inner scene" at the back, and the director shouted "cut" in a hurry. This clip is based on Stephen Chow's experience as an extra in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
In the film, a cockroach jumps onto the dead corpse played by Number One, but he still doesn't move. This scene is derived from the real story when Stephen Chow filmed the movie "Nine Pins of Sesame Official"
