After the 2002 "King of Repeaters" received unprecedented acclaim, whether it is necessary to produce a sequel has become one of the main focuses of the film's main creators. Director Mort Nathan believes: "I have watched the first episode of "The King of Repetition" and felt that the then director Walt Becker had already explained the story about Van Wilde very clearly and in detail. We can continue to pay attention to this character, After all, Van Wilde’s lifestyle is no longer personal, but a theory of philosophy of life, but unfortunately, we can hardly find excitement for this role. So, we thought of Taiji- -In the film, Van Wilde’s former friend, when he continued his studies in a boring British university, the stereotyped social customs there inspired the'van Wilde' factor in him."
In 2002, Taiji in "The King of Repeaters" was played by Kal Penn, who also appeared in "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle", "Superman Returns" and In "The Namesake" (The Namesake), the young man of Indian descent finally "righted" the supporting role of "Taiji" in the sequel. However, in Carl Pan’s view, "The King of Repetition 2" is not a sequel in the strict sense: "Although Taiji is Van Wilde's proud disciple, the two are different individuals after all. Taiji in the first episode It was through Van Wilde’s outstanding training sessions that he regained his confidence. Now, he wants to process and reuse what he learned from Van Wilde to help those in Jianjin University who are the same as before. Losers." In the first episode, Van Wilde taught Taiji all the tricks of becoming a "professional" student: Be liked by all people, especially the opposite sex, and become a veritable "girl killer". Of course, the interesting part of "The King of Repeaters" will still be preserved and carried forward in the sequel. As for the Wilde-style life philosophy established by Van Wilde in the first episode, let it end with the end of the film. Well, this episode is a story that has nothing to do with Van Wilde. It's the life Taiji wants, and it's going to be blue.
