The English title of "Empire of Money" directed by Wang Jing is very metaphorical, "ICorrupt All Cops" translates as "I corrupt all the police", and the English abbreviation of this sentence is the name of ICAC, the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
This implies an inextricable fight between the two, but the central theme of anti-corruption and honesty cannot hide Wang Jing's love for the film of Wuxiong.
The protagonists of "Empire of Money" are indeed a group of high-level policemen, but they are too inferior and will eventually become the controlled party, the punished, and go to destruction.
If the film has a little radical paranoia, it will inevitably lead to unnecessary restrictions. Fortunately, that period of history has gone through half a century, and it is not an exaggeration to say that for mainland audiences, this seems to be a warning rehearsal for watching the fire from the other side.
The unprecedented catastrophic and pervasive nature of the phenomenon of corruption to society is also a fantasy in the mainland environment, so Wang Jing has enough free space to amplify the gray background of the past in Hong Kong.
