The film is based on the comic story of French cartoonist Jacques Tati ( Before the creation of the film, director Luc Besson first fell in love with the story's heroine, Adela, for about ten years. He tried to get in touch with Jacques Tati , but unfortunately, he had accepted plans from another company to make the film. He was a little sad at the time, but still happy for him because he chose a good director. Luc Besson has been waiting anxiously for the film, but there has been no news of it being shot. After three or four years, he called Tati and he told Luc Besson that the director and producer he had chosen before were too average. He rejected their idea of adapting the film. And the director had to convince him to reconsider. They met several times after that. Luc Besson needed to assure Jacques Tati that our credit was proven, and the director asked Jacques Tati to give him a year to buy the rights back after Jacques Tati's agent had sold the film rights to the show. After 6 years of waiting and negotiating, Jacques Tati finally agreed to sell the rights to his Adela to Luc Besson.
Luc Besson's first revised draft is very faithful to the original comic book, following Tati's original intention and highlighting Adela's fearless adventures. The director anxiously but frankly handed over the script to Tati for reading. Matching the original comics he wrote with the characters I was trying to create was really nerve-wracking for Luc Besson. But very lucky, Jacques Tati read the script and said, "Very good!" Jacques Tati admitted that Luc Besson modified his comic works and characters, and at the same time found that the film location does not need to modify the original content, and can achieve the They move to the screen. It certainly won his approval. The only change was that he asked to change the name of one of the characters
