At the event, director Liu Yulin expressed that he is a fan of Zhang Haochen's book, "I know that the whole book is composed of many short stories, and "Forget in Mind" is a short story that is more popular with everyone. Its popularity proves that everyone has something in their hearts that they never forget. People, after a long time, become people who miss each other, in my opinion, this is the ultimate expression."
"The reason why I chose 'Niannianxiangxiang' as the title of the film is because it has a deeper affection than never forgetting. Each of us may have a Xu Niannian or Yang Sihuo living in our hearts, and we may not be as lucky as the two of them in the future We can meet again, but there is always a corner in my heart. Of course, it is better to meet each other than to miss them. We still put a little idea at the end of the movie and left the word "no". Best wishes to all the audience." Liu Yulin said.
Zhang Haochen, the author and film producer of the original work, said that the original story is very short, only more than 10,000 words, and a lot of flesh and blood needs to be added to the adaptation. "I wrote this story 8 years ago. It has a tragic background and core in it. And I am no longer who I used to be. In the past eight years, everyone has experienced a lot, experienced life and death, and experienced the difficulties in life. I hope that when I go back to the creation, this story changes from a tragic core to a happy core, with a 'white moonlight' ending."

Speaking of Nian Nian and Si Huo in the film, Zhang Haochen described them as "a girl like a cactus" and "a boy like a sun". Regarding the performance of Liu Haocun and Song Weilong, Zhang Haochen said bluntly, "It seems that the two characters have come out of the book", "Liu Haocun is very clever, she has a sassy temperament, which fits Niannian's temperament; Song Weilong's personality is also very similar to Sihuo, He showed the boy's 'Secondary Two' very well."
Liu Haocun said that when he was reading the script, he was moved by the story of the hero and heroine. "Xu Niannian is a very strong, tenacious, and lovely girl, and at the same time, she is very distressing. Don't look at her as brave when she battled with Yang Sihuo, but when facing her emotions, she will be like a little hedgehog. She wrapped herself in the shell, and she didn't open herself until the two of them got along slowly."

Song Weilong said that he had previously acted in high-cold and mature roles, "I haven't been fully exposed to school movies, this is the first time. In fact, my character is like Sihuo, Sihuo is a very energetic character, and It can also bring energy to yourself and those around you.”
Talking about the rivalry between the two, Liu Haocun said that everyone cooperated very well, "We stay together every day, acting together, eating together, it really feels like being on campus. And the way of persuasion in this drama is also pursuing Real, we feel like sitting in the class as if we were real classmates."
