陣頭 (2012)

A-Tai (Alan Ko) narrates that he is the son of Uncle Da (Chen Po-cheng) and Aunt Da (Samantha Ko), who run a troupe in Taichung. Uncle Da's troupe does traditional performance in front of religious processions. The religion requires performers to "initiate the faces and pose as gods"—to put on a special face painting, or to put on a heavy body puppet costume, both of these represent gods' persona. The performance demands training of martial art, acrobatics and endurance, and the performers are negatively associated with gangsters by the society. Uncle Da has been competing with Wu-cheng (Liao Jun), who studied with Uncle Da under the same master. A-Tai grew estranged with his father and the troupe, and went to Taipei to study Rock music, until a mysterious old man in blue coat bids him home.

The film's director Fung Kai is a TV producer and director who has worked with Sanlih E-Television (SET TV) on many Taiwanese Hokkien-language dramas and idol dramas. He won the Golden Bell Award with Green Forest, My Home. He co-wrote the screenplay of the movie with Xu Zhao-ren, who is also known for directing idol dramas. The film is produced by Xu Xi-biao and the sound engineer was Du Du-zhi, an award-winning recordist.

Senior actors Chen Po-cheng, Samantha Ko and Liao Jun have long experience with Taiwanese speaking movie and TV dramas. They also have hosted outdoor TV shows for SET TV.

Younger actors are mostly singers, and actors from idol dramas. Alan Ko had previously played various supporting and minor roles. Alien Huang has starred leading roles in many idol dramas and movies. Crystal Lin debuted from talent show One Million Star. All these young actors had to live with the real Jiu-tian Group in container houses for months in order to train for the performance.

On the other hand, Chen Shi-Min (陳世旻, also known as Ma-Liya) in reality is a mainstay of the real Jiu-Tian Group. The real Jiu-Tian Group performed for the filmmaking. Though the background story was inspired by the real Jiu-Tian Group, many events, such as the father-son conflict and quick rise to fame, are fictional.

TV host Tao Ching-Ying, and the then Taichung City mayor Jason Hu, also made cameos on the Festival scene. Tao's husband Li Li-Ren also played a minor role.
