Like the liquorice characters - A Lang, A Bao, were played by famous lyricist Huang Jun Lang and Nan Quan Mama's Devon; the senior student who starts the 5 minute difficult piano battle with Jay Chou is Nan Quan Mama's Yuhao; the weird foot worker at Jay Chou and Gui Lun-mei's Bulb record stall is Nan Quan Mama's Zhang Jie.
Besides them, even Jay Chou and S.H.E.'s makeup artist A Du was arranged to play a worker friend who had a stroke; dance instructor Ice Cream, who has worked with Jay Chou for many years, was arranged to play a senior who likes cars, the two act brilliantly, naturally and funnily, the audience can't even tell they are not professional actors.
