Producer Liang Huiyi and producer Wang Wei were present to introduce the creation.The creator hopes that the film will be released to the audience at the end of this year, but a specific release date has not yet been announced.

Wang Wei introduced that the story was triggered by a pigeon racing business.The father of rural siblings Li Yinxiu and Li Jinlong owed huge debts and left home in a hurry to avoid debt, leaving only their young children behind.Wu Zhengliang couldn't find the debtor, so he guarded his sister and brother, trying to force him to find out his father's whereabouts.The two children were naive and stubborn, constantly disrupting his plans and causing mischief one after another.As time went by, the debt collector who refused to leave gradually took on the responsibility of taking care of the children and guarding the family. The confrontation between the two parties also became a daily companion, and the debt collector became the “keeper” in the film's title.
