the story of "the host becomes the guest" takes place at a special time at night when a friend loses contact. the heroine fang yuan breaks into her friend's home without permission, but unexpectedly finds that she is not the only "uninvited guest" in this space. as the mysterious man gradually reveals the reason for his appearance, the seemingly logical narrative is full of loopholes, until fang yuan opens the door of the second bedroom, and a carefully hidden secret is revealed.
the film weaves a tense and exciting psychological contest full of twists and turns with only two closed spaces and the wonderful performances of three actors. the setting of two closed scenes not only strengthens the closedness and tension of the story, but also symbolizes the inner imprisonment and struggle of the characters. through the entanglement between fang yuan and the "mysterious people", a strong suspenseful atmosphere is created. the story between them is like a puzzle, seemingly complete but actually broken, guiding the audience to unravel the true and false information and explore the truth.
talking about the creation of the film, wang chuwei said it was full of challenges. telling a simple story completely and thoroughly in a closed space requires the precise embedding of a large amount of information and details. narrative is certainly important, but he hopes that everyone's appreciation of the film will not only focus on the single level of narrative.
