1. Little Plum and Spider-Man are good friends in real life for 25 years.

2. There is a scene in the play in which Xiao Li turns his head and reads a very serious line to Spider-Man. Because they are close friends, Spider-Man keeps laughing, but the original 15-second part of the scene was taken. I was still in NG for a day and a half, and finally the director really felt distressed about the film.

3. Director Baz Luhrmann collaborated with Xiao Lizi in "Romeo and Juliet" in 1996. At that time, Xiao Li who played Romeo was still a beautiful woman.

4. The female number two, female number three and male number three in the play are all from Kangaroo country, and so is the director. The main shooting was also done in Sydney. The exterior view of the Gatsby mansion is a building of the Sydney International Management School (!).

5. Like most American teenagers, Xiao Lizi read the original book when he was in high school Chinese class. He also handed in his homework, but he couldn't remember how he wrote it at the time.

6. Spider-Man felt the need to read the original book when he learned that he was going to play the role of Nick.

7. Female No.1 Carey Mulligan wore a 1930 vintage dress during the audition.

8. In the lengthy heroine contest, Carey Mulligan defeated Keira Knightley, Rebecca Hall, Amanda Seyfried, Blake Lively, Abbie Cornish, Michelle Williams, Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman (Scarlett Johansson later because of the filming of "My Family Bought the Zoo" And quit the competition).

9. Ben Affleck was originally scheduled to play the role of Tom, but due to a conflict with the self-directed and self-directed Argo schedule, Joel Edgerton was replaced by Joel Edgerton.

10. This is the fifth "The Great Gatsby" movie to date. The first four were shot in 1926 (silent film), 1949, 1974 and 2000.
