Friend, have you heard of the "crab effect"?
If you haven't heard of it, you're blessed, at least it proves that you haven't suffered from it;
If you have already learned it, then you are pitiful, Andi will give you a hug here.
Speaking of the "Ding Crab Effect", because for all stock retail investors, it is the most classic and terrifying urban legend.
In 1992, TVB's TV series "Big Time" was released, and "Ding Crab" was the name of the main villain in this drama. In the TV series, this middle-aged man with some mental problems broke into the stock market with and mixed up in the stock and futures markets.
Some of the plots in the play that show the sinister nature of the stock market basically end with "all dead, I am not dead" to Ding Crab.
But this kind of dog blood bridge that violates economic laws has been carried over to reality after the TV series was screened. In October 1992, with the premiere of "Big Time", Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index fell by 598 points in four days, which can be called "the miracle of broomstick star crab".
In the following years, whenever "Big Time" was re-screened or Zheng Shaoqiu's other works were played, the stock market always trembled. Therefore, the "Ding Crab Effect" is also known as the "Qiu Guan Effect".
In November 1994, Qiu Guan's "Laughing at the Wind" was broadcast, and the Hang Seng Index fell by more than 2,000 points;
In the early summer of 1995, Qiu Guan's new drama "The Legend of Xiang Shuai" and "Man Forty-one Heads Home" were broadcast at the same time, and the Hang Seng Index fell 505 points in 5 days;
In February 1996, "Heaven and Earth Boys" starring Qiu Guan was broadcast, and within a month of the broadcast of the series, the Hang Seng Index fell by as much as 1254 points;
In September of the same year, "New on the Beach" was screened, and within two trading days, the Hang Seng Index fell 221 points in response;
In December 1997, Qiu Guan's "Legend of jianghu strange heroes" was broadcast, and The Hang Seng Finger surged 6,000 points...
Such large and small stock market disasters have occurred 37 times (and are still breaking through) with Qiu Guan's continuous breakthroughs in his works. During this period, some clever ghosts in the stock market asserted that he was the "super black boy king of hell", and whenever his new drama was released, the stock market was in mourning. Looking at the Hang Seng Finger up close and looking at the Nasdaq in the distance, all of them can't escape Qiu Guan's law.
There were even Qiu Guan, who could not bear the long rainbow of his career, who produced a good drama every year and sued him in court.
"In 1999, a man went to court and claimed 50 million yuan in compensation for Zheng Shaoqiu's mental damages.
At that time, Qiu Guan's "Excalibur Chase" was being broadcast, and the stock market was 2084 points.
For more than 20 years, the "Ding Crab Effect" has been mentioned many times, Zheng Shaoqiu's second daughter Zheng Xinyi was accused of inheriting her father's ability to destroy the market, and in 2008, Zheng Xinyi participated in the sitcom "Bi Da His Own People" was played, and the stock market made a small wave, which gave her the hat of "Ding Crab 2.0".
In response to this urban legend, Hong Kong's CLSA specially did data analysis, and the results showed that when 18 works of Qiu Guan from 1992 to 2004 were broadcast on TELEVISION, 70% of the Hang Seng Index was declining, and the more tragic the plot, the worse the market performance.
Some people have analyzed that the "Ding Crab Effect" comes from the "self-fulfilling prophecy" of shareholders: because of the fear that Qiu Guan will bring about a stock market crash, it will be sold intensively before the episode is broadcast, causing panic, thus really causing a stock market crash.
If there is a dealer's operation, the situation is more complicated and dangerous.
Although Ah Mi is just a green stubble leek, he always feels that Zheng Shaoqiu is innocent.
But back to the Ding crab in "Big Time", it is not too much to cut him alive.
This TV series, which has been released for 29 years, has brought too much impact on the values and emotions of the audience, and even if it is looked back now, it is difficult to let go.
The 9.3 point of Douban is the most authentic evaluation of this era drama.
On the poster of "Big Time", Ding Crab, played by Zheng Shaoqiu, and Fang Zhanbo, played by Liu Qingyun, are separated by the title.
Ding Crab's expression was serious and his eyes were sharp; Fang Zhanbo was a defiant expression.
People who have not watched the drama will even think that Ding Crab is the positive character. In fact, Ding Crab can be regarded as the top three villains in the history of TVB TV series.
The badness of ding crab lies not in tyranny, but in purity.
Ding Crab is the son of the Fang family's grandmother, and he has been friends with the young master of the Fang family since he was a child. After becoming an adult, Fang Jinxin became a popular economy in the stock market, and Ding Crab was reluctant to read, but he had some talent for fist and foot - as soon as he appeared, he turned over a bar person in order to find trouble for his ex-wife.
In the boxing ring, he killed a professional fighting coach, because he was "ashamed in his heart", so he came to the door every day to apologize, and by the way, he took a look at the deceased's cousin Hui Ling.
Hui Ling, who is still a high school student, was initially impressed by Ding Crab and became his girlfriend, only to find out that this person was terrifying. In order to avoid the harassment of Ding Crab, Hui Ling transferred to three schools, but was still found by Ding Crab.
When Hui Ling was relieved by Fang Jinxin's kindness, Ding Crab had a brute attack and punched this childhood friend into a fool with a few punches:
Liu Songren's acting skills are really against the sky, playing a stockbroker with vigor and can also control the miserable disabled.
In the company of Hui Ling, Fang Jinxin gradually recovered, and eventually died under the fist of Ding Crab - Ding Crab was originally going to apologize. For the death of the descendant of this former friend and mother's benefactor, Ding Crab did not think so: he just slept peacefully, and I was much more miserable than him!
Laugh to death, but not quite laugh to death.
The terrible and hateful nature of Ding Crab is also reflected here: he has formed a logical self-consistency of his own life system. In any case, he was absolutely right.
An ironic motto
He kills, but he's not wrong;
Sister Ling hated him and was afraid of him, but he always thought that Sister Ling loved him.
He named his four sons: Filial Piety Crab, Beneficial Crab, Wang Crab, and Li Crab, and he sat in the middle of the "Crab Universe" and enjoyed the "filial piety, benefit, prosperity, and profit" provided by his descendants— a very superficial and clumsy egoism.
Some people say, "Ding Crab takes revenge, until the point is reached; Ding Crab repays the favor, and the family is destroyed."
Fortunately, Ding Crab's retribution was not very thorough, leaving a living mouth for the four orphans of Fang Jin's new home, and only then did he have the story after that.
Ding Crab is an optimistic bad guy, after his release from prison, his four sons have grown up and began to fish for the wrong door, and his son bought him a house and provided him with a life, and for a time his father was kind and filial to his son.
But he did not forget the "crab's retribution", and with his four filial sons, he forced the death of one Fang family daughter, fell to the death of two Fang family daughters, and also killed Hui Ling, who had cared for the Fang family's children for ten years.
This reward was so outrageous that even my mother said:
Fang Zhanbo, the son of Fang Jinxin, played by Liu Qingyun, vividly portrays a reckless genius who bears a blood vendetta.
After he awakened to the Force, he carried out a series of revenge on Ding Crab in the stock market. The process was not smooth, several times broken, the director also arranged two women with love and righteousness: Little Jew and Long Jiwen to cross the robbery for him.
It is worth mentioning that this drama gathered almost all the goddesses of TVB at that time: Lan Jieying, Zhou Huimin, Guo Aiming, Li Lizhen and Yang Ling.
The classic "Five Beautiful Smiles and Smiles" is from the "Big Time" detective class" .
The drama is also interspersed with reflections on the stock market in the plot of revenge.
In the stock market, which is affected by all external circumstances, people are the smallest unit. Fate is as good as Ding Crab, buying and falling a day to earn 2 billion, and those unlucky retail investors, have come to the roof.
However, Ye Tian, a generation of stock gods who woke up Fang Zhanbo in the play, said "stock must win" before his death: leave early.
Ding Crab, who has been pushed all the way to the peak of his life, will never understand the true meaning of these four words, and greed has achieved the ultimate "result" of this pure evil person.
At the end of the story, Ding Crab was chased and killed by the mafia with tens of billions of debts, and jumped off the building with his four sons - he has always been lucky, but this time he still did not die, and could only be trapped in his own infallible comfort for a lifetime.
Fang Zhanbo watched the four crabs of the Ding family fall in front of him one by one, and the great revenge was repaid, but after the closest relatives cleared zero, Long Jiwen withdrew, and his lover Xiao Ju also died in his arms, becoming an empty.
It is reasonable to say that when the four crabs of the Ding family fell from the roof one after another, and the Ding crabs were also defeated, the cool drama should be able to usher in the brightest ending. But the sadness of "Big Time" is really uncomfortable. Ah Bi believes that there are five major tragedies in the play:
A sad party enters the new, integrity is excellent, but in the prime of the year, he was beaten silly and beaten to death by his childhood friends, leaving four children to drift into the world;
The three sisters of the Erbei Fang family suffered humiliation with the ups and downs of their father and brother, and eventually they all fell off the building and died;
The three sorrowful parties showed their strength and tried their best to avenge their family, but in the end, all their relatives were gone, and the two most important women in their lives died in their arms;
Four times the little Jewish and long jiwen, live red roses and white roses, but both withered;
Sister Wubei Ling, who was tortured by Ding Crab all her life, paid her life for Fang Jinxin's short-lived friendship. And the tragedy of Sister Ling extends to reality, and Lan Jieying's life also makes people sigh.
The ending of the drama "Big Time" will be delayed for at least one day and one night after watching it. As a fashion drama, the protagonist's fate is inevitably too miserable, but if it is regarded as a modern martial arts drama, it seems to be acceptable - the jianghu should be so.
There are too many difficulties in the play, the sense of fatalism is too strong, and this is by no means a work that is only for people to entertain after tea and dinner. What shocked Ah Bi even more was that when "Big Time" was released, director Wei Jiahui was only thirty years old. I really wanted to rip open Wei Jiahui's little head melon to see what was hidden inside.
As young as Wei Jiahui was Liu Qingyun
If he hadn't explained the plot of Ding Crab's "Falling On the Street" in the first episode, the whole family would have died, and the later drama would not have been able to catch up.
Four years after "Big Time", Wei Jiahui and Du Qifeng created the film company "Galaxy Image", which appeared more on the big screen. His movies "Peace Hotel", "The Birth of a Word", "Detective", "Blind Detective", etc., are worth brushing again and again, but between each brush, we must slow down.
In the years that followed, the only TV series with similar themes that could compete with "Big Time" was "Genesis".
After revisiting "The Big Time", Ah Bi believes that the most terrible "Ding Crab Effect" is not in the stock market, but those who are selfish, shady, cruel but unaware of their lives, who are practicing Ding Crab's words and deeds, exuding a burst of malice.
Don't go, there are any dramas as good as "Big Time", please recommend it.
