This film is a pseudo-documentary. The interviewees include Taiwan legislator Chiu Yi, well-known artists Kevin Tsai, Xiao S, Ella, etc. Douzi (Niu Chengze), who is known to the audience for starring in Taiwan's new movies "The Story of Xiao Bi" and "The Man from Fenggui", and is familiar to the audience for directing idol dramas such as "The Proposal Agency" and "The Kiss of the Toast Man", interviewed Taiwanese people on the street about "whether they are happy". Everyone shook their heads. Then he talked with "friends of Hala" Chen Xisheng (producer of Yang Dechang's "One One" and other movies) and Feng Jiarui (the father of Taiwan idol dramas) about the various chaotic current situations in Taiwan, including the media. He believed that they were all caused by the weird power of politics. The more they discussed, the more excited they became, and the idea of shooting a mocumentary popped up. The filming plan is as follows: The camera records the process of the actor with Shih Ming-teh as the background pulling off the wig of legislator Chiu Yi, the male protagonist self-immolating in front of the Presidential Palace, and driving a car directly into the Presidential Palace, etc., so that the audience will mistakenly think that these things are not designed to see what kind of reaction will be triggered. Chen Shui-bian, who angered the public in Taiwan, was called "Duck Meat Bian" because his name was pronounced similarly to the name of a "Duck Meat Bian" restaurant located at the corner of Wuchang Street and Zhonghua Road in Taipei. People called him this way, meaning that they could eat and curse at each other, so the film was named "Wuchang Street Uprising", which was very vulgar and revolutionary. Immediately afterwards, Chen Xisheng agreed to be the producer, and a new crew composed of Douzi's employees was officially established. After obtaining the approval document for the national film subsidy (Niu Chengze did get 3.5 million national film subsidy in 2005 with this plan), Douzi and Chen Xisheng went around looking for investment, actors and other matters. Unexpectedly, the filming started as a nightmare: the male lead Qu Zhongheng fled immediately when he heard the filming plan and needed to raise funds by himself; the company's account was empty... In order to find investment so that the film could be filmed as scheduled, Douzi did many things that made him regret it when he recalled them. In the process, the embarrassing survival of filmmakers caused by the recession in the Taiwanese film industry was clearly visible. After his sex scene in a car with an actress was broadcast by the media, his already problematic relationship with Ningning (Zhang Junning) almost collapsed. Coupled with his inability to let go of an incident involving his mother many years ago, his life seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
