Towards the plans for the new movie, Jay expressed: "I do have collaboration plans with Dou Dao, but the time for filming to start has not been fixed, the script is also in the process of being altered." When asked why he wanted to put up the capital to film the movie? He said: "I always thought this was a very fun thing, just like how I love cars, the same as buying cars, this time I want to complete a dream with my good friends." Jay has put up about a few million, he also said with some mystery: "There has been commercial consideration when filming this movie, so whether it will come out is not for certain."

He said this line at least 15 times, why does he want to collaborate with Jay to film a movie? Niu Cheng Zhe once again couldn't take it and shouted: "Aiya! This might be a very good piece of news for you, but it is a question that brings headaches, so I ask you not to ask." At the end Dou Dao only revealed: "Because I am very good friends with Jay, so we want to do something together." And talking about Jay's acting, Niu Cheng Zhe strongly praised: "I still haven't watched "Initial D" by him, but friends from Hong Kong said he performed really well, as to how I look at him, I think he is a very good actor with lots of potential."
