The idea of "Vibrating Tokyo" came from Feng Haojun’s experience on the streets of Tokyo.

The original idea of "Melder" came from the inspiration of "the weirdo popping out of the sewer to kill" when Carax was walking on the streets of Paris a few weeks before the script was written.

When Bell and Michel Gondry, the original authors of "Interior Design," created the script together, they first asked someone to translate the lines into Japanese, and then another person was asked to translate the Japanese back into English for comparison with the original. They repeatedly discussed word by word with crew members, striving to make every line of the film be appropriate.

Michel Gondry's shooting habits made the Japanese staff very unaccustomed at first. He did not practice and test shooting in advance, and directly let the actors start the performance, and asked them to improvise by themselves. Moreover, after a scene is over, he will not stop and continue to shoot. The staff prepared 20,000 feet of film for this film in advance, but 8,000 feet were used on the first day . The director Carax, who is also French, works meticulously, directing and confirming every action of the actors, and his work style is more appetizing to the Japanese actors and staff .

French "merde" ("merde") is an swear word, in Japanese it is equivalent to "クソ", written in Chinese characters is "dung". The child will say this word directly without any scruples, and the green monster in the film seems to be the child of modern people. Therefore, Leos Carax adopted the word indirectly equal to "poop" as the film title. In addition, Karaks liked the Chinese character form of "dung" very much, and made it appear once in the movie .

No matter how prosperous Tokyo is, it is Asian, so don't make it too European and American. Clean and fresh is the most comfortable. The same Asian director seems to understand the beauty of Asian cities better, so that is why the last story is more beautiful.

I was impressed by Michel Gondry. The first story was absurdly terrifying and very Japanese, including the humor of Japanese embarrassment. The lack of presence leads to changes in people, and finally it finds its own use. Leos Carax is bold enough to talk directly about the inferiority of the Japanese. Feng Junhao is so handsome, all the people in Japan are dead, and then Japan is an earthquake-prone country.
