  In INSIDE’s four-director Kaohsiung interview, Qiu explains how one banknote moves between film genres. Models help with visual style; continuity across sequences depends on prior planning.

  • A script and reference images track the banknote’s condition and movements.
  • He used Seedance 2.0 while designing the action and plot himself.
  • He leaves copyright questions unresolved; stylistic reproduction is not proof of permission.
