In the MV scene, the spoon Jay Chou handed to Dali has another origin:
It is said that when Dali was sleeping, he often placed a glass next to him, then put one end of the spoon on the edge of the glass and held the other end of the spoon in his hand. When Dali entered a state of "light sleep", his hands would naturally relax, and the sound of the spoon hitting the glass would wake him up, and he would quickly draw the picture that had just appeared in his mind.
