Last night, the investigation drama "Fox Hunting", which was simulcast by Oriental Satellite TV and Beijing Satellite TV, ushered in the final blow.
Wang Bolin (Liu Yijun), the "old fox" who escaped 22 episodes, was finally forced into a desperate situation and surrendered to China after experiencing immigration cases, domestic asset seizures, accomplice arrests and money laundering cases.
There is no way out of the law, although it is far away. With the basic guidelines of the fox hunting operation, Wang Bolin's arrest is not unexpected, but it still makes the audience feel depressed and relieved.
In the final analysis, this is the persistence of "Fox Hunting" "one case to the end" that has an effect.
"One case to the end" is a delicate task. If the series of "a few episodes a case, a case independent" is likened to a direct and refreshing fast-paced editing, then "one case to the end" is like a long shot that needs to be carefully designed to be montaged.
As a result, we see that the case of "Fox Hunting" is buckled one by one, surging forward.
Although the facts of the case all revolve around Wang Bolin, from the beginning of the chapter, you can feel the two clues of economic investigation and criminal investigation, and each clue is clear.
Evil is constantly superimposed, and man is constantly degenerating. Accumulated to the end, the arrest of the first offender finally achieved a long breath of relief for the audience.
A wake-up call made up of victimized experiences
In documentaries and news, victims of economic crimes are often condensed into statistics, and the pain is difficult to perceive and wrong.
However, before the astronomical amount of huge assets and the dilemma of fleeing into the dust became the subject of the anecdote, there were many families that fell apart, and even several lives that ended prematurely.
The most touching thing about the first half of "Fox Hunting" is not how professional the economic crime is, but the human tragedy it causes, which is spread out to the audience in groups.
Some people are deceived into making a fortune because of a greedy word.
At this end, there is the speculative psychology that you listen to the wind and the rain, and there is the public opinion performance of the company and unscrupulous reporters colluding. At this end, there is a fluke that you have earned a piece and want to make two yuan, and at that end, there is a big bank manipulating the stock price to target the principal in your hand.
Just like the old man in red outlined in several scenes in the play, he put his life savings into the stock market, and several prompts and advices were in vain, and finally ended up with the loss of family wealth, which was pitiful and hateful.
There are also people who are caught up in the wrong way because of obsessive stupidity.
This is reflected in the brothers and sisters of Yang Jianqun (Hu Jun) and Yang Jianqiu (Fu Jing).
Yang Jianqiu was involved in illegal lending, although there is a pit abduction and corruption of Zhao Haiqing (Qiao Dawei), the director of the bank's loan department, but there is also her competitive spirit of eagerness to get ahead, and the foolish loyalty and filial piety of a good face.
Yang Jianqiu's sinking has become Yang Jianqun's weakness, and he also has the same infatuation as his sister. In order to protect the so-called integrity of the family, he gave up the principle of the police, became an accomplice of the fugitives, and thus lived a life of panic.
Others fall into a trap because of a mystery.
This has to be mentioned in the entanglement between Xiao Hui (Deng Jiajia) and Hao Xiaoqiang (Zhang Tao). In "Fox Hunting", the financial ambitionist Hao Xiaoqiang is a meaningful character.
He can understand the stock market, pry capital, move public opinion, and talk about ideals. He is fundamentally different from Wang Berlin, in the turbulent money game, he enjoys not wealth, but the sense of accomplishment of using money to transform the way of life of a generation.
Hao Xiaoqiang is a complex person, just like the actor Zhang Tao's own analysis of this role, Hao Xiaoqiang brainwashed himself: "He is a liar, but he has never lied." ”
Perhaps, it is this kind of "changing the world" of courage that fascinates Yu Xiaohui. However, life is a process, not a result. Even a "feat" cannot be disregarded for purpose justice without regard to procedural justice.
This is a loophole in Hao Xiaoqiang's powerful salvation logic, and it is also a deep speculation that economic crimes make people wake up.
When we look at the joy and madness of the securities trading floor, and see every motive hidden behind the black box operation, we will find that every misstep is not absolutely innocent, and every dollar that is cheated out of it is for a reason.
The pain they experienced was similar, but the reasons for becoming victims varied. In its representation of the victims, "Fox Hunting" is more dialectical than ever.
The warning bell that rings in the career of a fugitive
In the second half of "Fox Hunting", the amount of information about the fugitive's life abroad is also shocking.
The old fox king Berlin and the banker's son Sun Ming (Wang Tonghui) are the kind of people who left themselves overseas in the morning. Phoenix male Zhao Haiqing, Wang Berlin's "thug" Tang Hong (Chen Chuhan), a good bet, an arbitrary, can be regarded as a "American Dream" fanatic.
Although the four people have different bodies and different techniques, all of them can be summed up in the eight words of "money scattered and scattered" and "going around and around".
Wang Bolin sent his wife and daughter to the United States in advance, and the script he originally wrote for himself was to wash himself into a legal American businessman after hibernation. Unexpectedly, there were detective police officers who had to chase after him in every key step of his realization of whitewashing.
Sun Ming also sent his wife and children to the United States in the morning, dreaming of retiring to the middle class life in the United States. But when he came to the United States as a fugitive, he found that he was already a card face where his wife and daughter were scattered.
Materialism is the only belief of Zhao Haiqing, who came from a poor family, but the most insecure thing in the escape is material. The money was scattered, the eyes were unaccompanied, and the poor boy who started from scratch went around and returned to the origin of the depression of the four walls.
Tang Hong, who carried the murder case for Wang Berlin, believed in the "American Dream" he promised, and never expected that when the great disaster came, even the husband and wife would have to fly separately, let alone brothers. So the "American Dream" became a nightmare for Exile in Kenya.
Don Hung, who fled to Kenya and was trapped in a slum
Before being persuaded to return, Sun Ming had such an emotion, "What I care about and care about is my relatives, which has nothing to do with the United States." ”
This is repentance and a warning to all "wall-riding factions" who want to touch the red line of the law.
Before you want to move, first ask yourself, what is the purpose of drilling and collecting wealth? If it is for the happiness of the family, do you know that the most capable of destroying a family is ill-gotten wealth? If it is to change the fate, then when the fate returns to you with profits, can you afford the cost of self-destruction?
A fugitive note written by the detective police
Although there is only a group of criminals in "Fox Hunting", the way to chase and escape is not a one-time pot end, but a difficult breakdown.
Sun Ming, the banker who fled to the United States, was persuaded to surrender, Zhao Haiqing, who was exiled to the Czech Republic, was forced to return from the street, Tang Hong, a thug who fled to Kenya, was arrested with the cooperation of the local police, and Wang Bolin finally surrendered himself after several rounds of court and court battles.
Without law enforcement powers, china's detective police have won the contest with Rou Kegang, and "Fox Hunting" almost shows an overseas pursuit encyclopedia.
Returning to the protagonist, the detective police represented by Xia Yuan (played by Wang Kai) and Wu Jiaqi (played by Wang Ou) show the work and living conditions of this group for the first time.
They were also green. When the Beijiang Investigation Detachment was in place, Wu Jiaqi was an impulsive young man who was stunned to investigate the case to the end, and Xia Yuan was also a young criminal policeman who was a little bit ready.
But after experiencing the pain, they eventually grow. Xia Yuan, whose intimate relationship was broken, and his master Yang Jianqun mirrored each other. He chose to stick to his principles, and eventually sharpened himself into a sharp blade that went straight into the heart of economic criminals.
Wu Jiaqi became steady and delicate, and the little girl who had a violent temper when Wang Bolin was mentioned at the beginning became a detective who handled cases without leaking, who could turn the court argument against the wind, and even the disguised investigation and street tracking were all good at it.
"Fox Hunting" has caused many topics. At the beginning, it is a marvel at the professional drama of economic crime, the middle period is the controversy over the financial PUA, and the later stage is the lament about the difficulty of chasing and escaping, and the gap in the overseas life of fugitives.
But I also want to talk about the personal feelings that Fox Hunting has brought me.
Recently, there has been a popular saying among young people called "income after bedtime". As the name suggests, wealth can be grown even while asleep, and the technical term is "passive income".
This is not originally a derogatory term, but the promotion of this concept that exists in the market is most likely packaged Internet financial management, or simply ineffective knowledge payment.
Fans who have watched "Fox Hunting" can probably distinguish that "passive income" first requires a lot of funds to base, and everything else that promises considerable returns under the guise of "income after bedtime" is a demagogic person who targets your principal.
To paraphrase a quote from Faust, "Work is gray, and speculation is evergreen." This is a weakness that human nature can hardly break free from. If you always feel like money is in your pocket, then it is recommended that you brush "Fox Hunting" again.
