1. Pei Chunhua said in the interview: "Bell and I were almost silent apart from shooting on set, and Bell himself would keep a distance from me. The characters in this film are quite abnormal, so this kind of on-set The atmosphere of the relationship between serious characters in the movie extends beyond the play. We let this seriousness develop naturally, but we have never talked about such a phenomenon."

2. As early as a year ago, Christian Bell and Pei Chunhua planned to star in a movie called "Goodbye Deep Blue" , which was directed by James Mangold. But the film plan was shelved because Bell was injured at that time. When Bell recovered, the film failed to restart its schedule. In the end, Bell starred in the film "The Enemy" with Pei Chunhua.

3. The filming of the movie is in the order of story time .

After I watched it, I found that this MV tells a story: A ball made a beautiful woman crazy!

After reading it, I feel mentally better.

6. The original screenwriter of the film was Donald E. Stewart , who died in 1999. When his wife was moving, she was surprised to find the script of "The Enemy", which had not been sold to any film company at the time. After watching "Crazy Heart" directed by Scott Cooper, his wife felt that Scott Cooper was the best person to bring his husband's work to the screen.

Note: Donald E. Stewart: He is the screenwriter of the movie "Hunting Red October" ( starring Sean Connery ) (1990), "Burning Eyebrow Chase" ( starring Harrison Ford ) (1994) and other movies.

7. "The Enemy" was produced without the participation of a film distribution company. The film’s budget is about 40 million U.S. dollars, which is a huge gamble for film investor Byron Allen .

8. This is the second time Pei Chunhua has collaborated with the "Batman Actor". The first time he has collaborated with Ben Affleck in "The Lost Lovers" (2014) .

9. At first, Christian Bale had reservations about the filming of the ending of the film . Bell felt that the ending of the film should be a "moving" ending. He also had a dispute with director Scott Cooper on this issue. Bell felt that at the end, the character he played should walk into the crowd and be annihilated by the crowd and never be seen again. Because Bell trusted the director, he finished the filming of the ending according to the director's script and began to like it, because it not only embodies hope, but also raises questions for the future.
