Jay Chou (Chow Kit Lun) for his musical film THE ROOFTOP created 35 new songs. With his second turn as a director, he has seen many musical films with outstanding song and dance numbers. Thus he put a lot of effort into making musical scenes logical.

Chairman Chou and lead actress Li Xinai in the film sat dangerously on a three story tall speaker for romance. Their legs dangled in mid air. Li Xinai even kicked the bottoms of Chairman Chou's feet to scare him, which made his fear of height act up as he said "scary". Chairman Chou was not pleased with his own performance and asked to reshoot the next time. At first he even said, "It was too high, the film would be a little affected." Finally he admitted that actually he was afraid of heights. The scene had to be shot anew.

After last week's film premiere, Taiwan's Cultural Department chief praised Chairman Chou's new film. "This is a very smart film. How can someone who knows art, knows emotions, knows commercial, and mixes a variety of elements together so well?" He even suggested that the film could be turned into a stage performance. Chairman Chou's friend and Taiwan Heavenly Queen Jody Chiang Hwei was busy with work and unable to attend the premiere. Chairman Chou asked the film company to give her an advanced screening. When she said Chairman Chou's eight pack abdominal muscles she immediately screamed. She said, "I like guys with single eyelids very much. Chairman Chou's character is very mesmerizing. His physique is also so well trained, His charm truly is irresistible!"
