After the success of "So Packaged" from 65438 to 0995, both the director, Gong Hanlin and Zhao hoped that CCTV Spring Festival Evening would make a breakthrough from 65438 to 0996. Therefore, the sketch has made a lot of efforts from planning to rehearsal. From the early planning and discussion of the script, to the revision of the script until the performance lasted for more than two months, there were no fewer than hundreds of rehearsals.

The first ending of "Adventures of Working" is that after Zhao told the Price Bureau, he picked up his things and left without writing. Later, when Gong Hanlin and the cast members of the Spring Festival Gala went to practice the program, they gave some performances in Wenzhou. During the performance, two groups of directors suddenly found a drama actor writing with both hands on the stage.

So, he told Gong Hanlin that if Zhao Lirong expressed what he said in words and showed it to the audience, the impact might be even greater. Gong Hanlin agreed at that time and asked Zhao for advice. Zhao thought it was a good idea, so he began to practice calligraphy.
