As a first time producer, she said that the pressure was not too great. Because she had a strong team behind her, they shared a lot of the load. "In comparison to being an actor, the producer doesn't have to be in make up on the set. This probably is the biggest difference." Her primary job was meetings before the shoot with the team and providing her own opinions in areas like art and visuals. After the production began she would also go to the set to cheer everyone on. "I was a very busy producer, at the same time I had a lot of other jobs. Thank you team for being able to accommodate my schedule." Gigi admitted that being a producer was much tougher than being an actor. Every part of the film was under her management. Yet at the same time she learned a lot. She even joked, "Everyone was tired but maintained great mood. The set atmosphere was also very pleasant, perhaps because they had a producer beauty like me."
