Guo Fucheng said: "I have played many roles and challenged many roles, but when I first saw this script two years ago, I decided that I would play this role no matter what.I like’Mai Passerby ‘, and I also want to try to play a homeless man. The film is based on realistic themes not to show suffering, but to explore the care and love between people. "
Fast food restaurants are a place where many children are happy, and movies are the other side of fast food restaurants after nightfall. Movies are not just entertainment, but also reflect many social issues and relationships between people. Thank you to the director for your trust. I am very happy to be involved in the filming of this film. "Director Huang Qingxun explained the title of the film:" There are many’people ‘in the middle of the word’Mai’ (), and there are many’mouths’ in the word’Road ‘, which represents an urban phenomenon. In addition, the English title’I’m Livin’ It ‘represents another meaning,’ I live here ‘. "
"Mai passers-by" are also known as "Mai refugees", referring to the fact that many low-level workers are homeless at night and choose to spend the night at McDonald’s. The inspiration of the film is based on the sad reality that exists in this society all over the world. Although each of them has different reasons for their difficulties, they meet together in a 24-hour restaurant by chance. The fast food restaurant has become their temporary "home". They are also people who have fallen into the world. In this temporary "home", they warm each other, help each other, find the warmth of their families from strangers, and find their dreams in life together. It is reported that the film will be released in the mainland, when the audience can see this touching work in the cinema.
