It is reported that the story background of "Lucky Strike" was originally set in New York, Woody Allen's beloved hometown of his life, but because he couldn't find the relationship with American investment, he had to move the whole story to Paris. When asked this question, Allen said: "I have a good idea for a movie story with New York as the background. I have already thought about it. If someone is willing to stand up, willing to invest in me, and agree with me Those harsh conditions—they can’t care what the script is written in; they can’t interfere with whoever gets to perform it... They just pay me and then stand aside—if there is any fool in this world who is willing to accept such conditions, then I’ll be shooting a movie in New York when I come down.”
