《上蓋大》片名在台語中意為「最大」,故事描述9歲男孩劉皮暑假接到尋找世界上「最……」事物的作業,從「最美」的紅花、「最乖」的石頭到「最安靜」的家,展開一場夏日冒險,也逐漸揭開祖孫心中難以言說的思念。導演張均瑜表示,拍攝全台語作品最大的壓力,就是不想辜負對這個語言有情感的人,以及一路共同努力的工作夥伴。
In 1985, Lin Ju once locked himself in a glass house for 90 days to create. The tavern "stall" he ran attracted visits from celebrities such as Brigitte Lin, Sanmao, Hou Hsiao-hsien, etc. The rock PUB "Xi Soil" was also the stage for performances by Wu Bai, Chen Sheng, and Lin Qiang. He also served as the art director of Hou Hsiao-hsien's film "Daughter of the Nile", and this time he becomes Grandpa in "The Big One".張均瑜透露,初次見面就從林鉅身上看見長者對世界的閱歷與珍惜時間的心境,原本擔心藝術家氣質會讓孩子難以親近,沒想到他展現十足耐心,迅速與小演員建立默契。

其中一場洗車後的祖孫對手戲,導演只給黃攸行「想辦法讓阿公跟你回去睡覺」的指令,他便自然牽起林鉅的手,不願上樓陪媽媽睡覺,兩人即興完成演出,第一顆鏡頭就順利過關,讓導演相當驚喜。
In order to find children who can perform naturally and are not restricted by Taiwanese pronunciation, the crew not only contacted experienced child actors, but also went deep into central and southern auditions to select amateurs. Huang Youxing had a cold during his first audition, so he insisted on wearing a mask to complete the one-hour audition, and did not take off the mask for 30 seconds to take photos at the end. However, during the second meeting, he became lively and quirky, and his keen reception ability made the director decide to use it. What's even more interesting is that the crew arranged many rehearsals to cultivate tacit understanding. Huang Youxing actually regarded the rehearsal recorded on his mobile phone as the official filming. During the last rehearsal, he asked doubtfully: "Didn't I finish filming before?" This made the director dumbfounded.
