Although the whole movie is heavy, the ending gives a warmer ending. Director Ceng Guoxiang revealed that the team considered for a long time whether to put the last paragraph of "20 15" in the film. At first, they didn't intend to put it in, but after watching the movie for some friends, they felt a little heavy, and finally decided to leave something bright and sunny for the audience to leave the cinema with some hope and warmth.
Producer Jo Jo Hui also said that there were two endings. When talking about the script, some people said that the bright ending was "impossible and too fake", but Zhao Zuhui and the director persisted. They think filming is not to give people a feeling, but to tell the audience what to believe. "Shooting the ending that we believe is not only to give you warmth, but that the director and I are a little indomitable and think that the world should be like this, now and in the future.

In the second half of Better Days' film, Chennian and Xiaobei were both shaved, which is also a highlight of the film. This scene was filmed for two days. On the first day, Jackson Yee shaved Zhou Dongyu's head, and the next day, Jackson Yee shaved his own head. This is also a scene of their emotional sublimation. Jackson Yee said that when shooting this scene, both of them were basically topless. "Very honest, no secrets, no psychological cover, the two began to gradually integrate, emotionally higher than love."
Before filming this scene, in order to cheer up the two actors, the crew shaved their heads and took a big group photo on a step. Director Ceng Guoxiang is very moved every time he sees this photo. "This is very representative of our mentality at that time. Everyone is very devoted and enthusiastic to doing this work." .
