Director Qiu Sheng made his film as a Taoist scripture for his father, whom he lost at age 15 during a midterm exam.

The episode begins with hosts introducing the setting at a Shanghai Film Festival exhibition space, discussing how technology like AI might transform art displays and movie experiences. Director Qiu Sheng reflects on viewing historical Chinese animation manuscripts at the exhibition, noting the craftsmanship of hand-drawn works. He shares a childhood memory of a disappearing ink pen in a temple as his first science fiction encounter, linking it to the romance in everyday life. Tong Chengjie talks about her 'information deficiency syndrome' and efforts to enjoy travel purely, without turning it into work content. Qiu Sheng reveals the film '比如父子' originated from his regret over his father's death when he was 15, aiming to write a Taoist scripture through cinema. He explains incorporating science fiction to lighten the heavy theme of death, using elements like glowing virtual spaces. Tong Chengjie describes her career shift from modeling to acting, highlighting the long process to gain industry recognition through projects like 'FanHua'. The conversation covers the film's use of Hangzhou dialect, with actors like Ke Jiayan learning it to portray a diverse community. Qiu Sheng discusses the symbolic choice of boxing in the film, representing the dual nature of father-son relationships as both combative and embracing. He shares a personal dream where his father melts away, symbolizing the end of their psychological conflict. Listeners ask about whether making the film reduced Qiu Sheng's regret, and he responds that editing a scene allowed him to feel a sense of closure. The hosts and guests ponder AI's ability to alleviate loneliness, with Tong Chengjie emphasizing the irreplaceability of human intimacy. Qiu Sheng mentions his next project might involve brain-computer interfaces and idol economy, while Tong Chengjie expresses interest in playing an AI-like role. The episode concludes with promotions for the '造梦现场' exhibition celebrating 120 years of Chinese cinema.
