The reaction to the preview screening was excellent, and he said, “It's very stimulating to watch it with an audience. As the film became more refined, the audience's reaction got better and better. I'm really grateful for the intense energy, laughter, and applause in the cinema. Entertaining the audience is what makes it worthwhile.”
