The following day, March 29th (Friday), a Q&A was held after the screening, and as soon as the end credits were played, the audience was greeted with endless applause and loud cheers from the audience. At the beginning, the two introduced themselves in Chinese, and the stage greetings were cordial from beginning to end. As this is a Chinese original, the director was asked in-depth questions about the difficulties he had in adapting the film to Japan, and what he had to be careful about when preparing for the role of a ruthless killer, given his gentle image. One after another, it has been proven that this work is attracting a lot of attention in Hong Kong as well.
