In 2011, Du Qifeng filmed a film "Death Gold".
When everyone thinks that Du Qifeng has made a commercial film to make money, but this movie does not have too many commercial elements, and even the gorgeous gunfights are abandoned, the audience does not like it, and even feels bored.
The movie "Deadly Gold" has a Douban score of 7.3 and 90,000 people, which can be seen.
However, as fans of Galaxy Image, social criticism has a strong meaning, with a little black humor, and exquisite narrative, which can be a classic representing Du Qifeng.
Spoiler dividing line
Inspector Zhang Zhengfang of the Serious Cases Unit who diligently and earnestly handled the case;
Teresa, an investment adviser with the highest performing ranking;
The righteous gangster three-legged leopard;
Three people who are spinning around in their respective worlds have intersected because of a financial crisis, but they have only hurried through.
It seems as if they have met and have not met
The world is bustling, and everything is profitable.
At first glance, it's three parallel stories, but when it comes to "grabbing gold," you know what they're going to get together for.
Zhang Zhengfang is busy handling the case, but he still has to accompany his wife to see the house everywhere, but there is no money;
And the investment consultant Teresa working in the bank, every morning in the face of the supervisor's performance announcement, the excellent turn can not be her, the name of the cheer is not her, her performance although the penultimate first, but it seems like air, but she is still very hard, every day to leave work very late, even to the point where the guard urged to leave work, and finally received a single order, through the way of coaxing and cheating to let an old lady buy stocks;
And In order to help his boss make money, Ah Bao has been putting on a birthday banquet to invite guests, he is not even greedy for a penny, in order to guarantee his brother, running around in various places, the brother's little brother has not done it, he is still raising money for righteousness;
However, it is precisely because of this to help his brother guarantee that he met his former good brother Bulge Dragon and took him to see how he "whitewashed" and successfully made money;
Finally, the three of them went from multi-line parallel to the moment of convergence.
The stock market tumbled.
The business of the bulging eye dragon is futures, originally wanted to secretly change the information before the close, did not expect that the account was locked, the loss was in the sky, and it was targeted by the big guy Mr. Song;
He was anxious to earn it back, so he looked for Zhong Yuan, who was a loan shark, and Zhong Yuan was very happy, so he came to Teresa to withdraw money, took ten million, but first put five million here, and did not enter the bill;
Zhong Yuan hurriedly brought five million to buy, but he did not expect to enter the basement, was targeted by two people, beat each other and killed, and Ah Bao successfully got five million in the car;
Zhang Zhengfang prepared to investigate the case and caught one of the murderers who killed Zhong Yuan, but the five million is still unknown.
The bulging eye dragon was seriously injured, in order to flip the market did not choose to go to the hospital, but went to the bank, so that A Leopard was ready to buy "fall", but at that time, Ah Leopard did not buy according to the meaning of the Bulge Dragon, bought "up", and finally won more than four million cash with four million bets, and turned over overnight;
The bulging-eyed dragon looked "up" in the car, saw the rapid fire attacking the heart, and died violently. And on the side, Zhang Zhengfang is saving a person who has lost money and is preparing to commit suicide;
In the last five minutes of the ending,
The money-making Ah Leopard first went to buy a cigar to smoke, and Teresa chose to take Jongwon's five million and leave his job, and the two of them passed each other on the streets on a rainy night.
When Zhang Zhengfang reconciled with his wife and prepared to buy a house, he did not expect that the house monopoly under the wife's loan could get half a million.
The other two protagonists have undoubtedly chosen money, so how will Zhang Zhengfang choose?
The director didn't give a definitive answer, but how would you choose?
This film takes apart the story I am telling and highlights the storyline and the sense of impermanence of life. Especially Zhang Zhengfang is particularly prominent, his wife decided to buy a house, just signed a temporary contract with a loan, encountered a financial crisis, default will be fined 1 million, and after reconciling with her husband, it rains and sunny, and it can get 500,000 advanced when it is sold.
In the words of the movie, "Morning and afternoon are hell and heaven."
The real protagonist of the whole film is money, and money affects everyone, and the "sense of fatalism" discussed by Du Qifeng has always been there, very classic, worth watching!
