Curiosità

Miss Shampoo is a 2023 Taiwanese romantic comedy film directed and written by Giddens Ko. Marking his fourth feature, the film was adapted from Ko's 2010 novel Precisely Out of Control. It stars Vivian Sung, Daniel Hong, Kai Ko, Emerson Tsai, and Ying Wei-min, and centers on a triad boss (Hong) who falls in love with a hairstylist (Sung) after she saves him from an assassination attempt.

Production

Miss Shampoo is loosely based on the fourth chapter "This is the Feeling I Want" (Chinese: 這是我要的感覺) of Giddens Ko's 2010 novel Precisely Out of Control. Producer Lu Wei-jun, who was then working for 21st Century Fox and was acquainted with Giddens Ko from the international distribution of You Are the Apple of My Eye (2011), expressed interest in collaborating further with Ko.

Pre-production began in July 2022, including casting and location scouting, with filming expected to commence in September 2022. Singer Jeffrey Huang was initially cast in the lead role as Tai, prompting the production company to increase the film's budget due to his involvement. Giddens Ko envisioned the character as middle-aged and bilingual, returning from America to reclaim his position as a gang boss, to suit Huang's traits.

Kai Ko, another frequent collaborator of Giddens Ko, was cast in the early stages of the film as an original character not from the novel, written specifically for him. Kai was initially hesitant about playing a sidekick, but Ko provided him with a backstory that highlighted the character's significance and assured him of his interest in writing a spin-off film centered on the character.

Principal photography began on 23 August 2022, lasting 40 days with an average of nine hours of filming each day. Patrick Chou, a frequent collaborator of Giddens Ko, returned to the project as cinematographer. Ko noted that he tried to maintain a joyful filming environment to encourage comedic improvisation from both the actors and the crew.

In October 2022, the Korean company Barunson E&A acquired the international distribution rights for the film, marking its first non-Korean feature, while Edko Films and Clover Films handled sales in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. In March 2023, the film was scheduled for a summer release. The film was presented at the Cannes Film Market in May, and an official trailer was released in the same month.
