Find everyone's spiritual nook in the movie

The performance of "All or Nothing" is really eye-catching.

On the 5th day of its release, the box office has exceeded 1.4 billion (including 400 million box office), and for a while, the national anti-fraud has become a hot topic in this August.

"All or Nothing" takes the "small online advertisements" that everyone will receive as the starting point, and presents the audience with a terrible "private order" online fraud trap through the perspective of programmer Pan Sheng, dealer Anna and others.

The main creators did a lot of real case research when shooting this film, and also designed many small details with room for interpretation at the audiovisual level.

On the occasion of the movie's popularity, Xiaowan sorted out 10 hidden details in "All or Nothing" to help everyone better understand the film.

There are spoilers ahead, and the reading effect is better after watching the movie

Line point

In the movie, the most classic line is the sentence of policeman Zhao Dongran (played by Yongmei): "People have two hearts, one is greedy and the other is unwilling." ”

This sentence actually perfectly contrasts with the motives of the two protagonists Pan Sheng and Liang Anna in "All or Nothing".

Anna yearned for the dealer's salary of 100,000 yuan a month, so she embarked on a flight to northern Myanmar, which means greed;

Pan Sheng, on the other hand, is tired of nepotism in the workplace and wants to show his strength in other fields, named unwilling.

The tragedy of Ah Tian

In fact, when the role of A Tian (played by Wang Continent) first appeared, it confirmed that he had a problem with gambling addiction.

When playing a football game with his classmates, Ah Tian said that the win or loss of this game was "hanging the lottery", proving that he was eager to "make a big deal with small" in his heart.

In addition, when Ah Tian's subtitle team received a scam advertisement, the movie they translated happened to have the line "Your destruction is our new birth", which also implied that the scam factory wanted to feed on Ah Tian's "blood and sweat".

Hell and heaven

Continue the story of Ah Tian.

In the final gamble, the two female characters who are closely related to him, Anna Liang and Xiaoyu, both wear similar white evening dresses and the same hairstyle, accompanying him at his side.

This reflects the choice between the two of them, and the two choices lead to two very different lives.

It is worth mentioning that this is also the only time Anna wears a white cheongsam in the film, which has the meaning of wearing an "angelic coat and the heart of the devil".

Costume Easter eggs

When Ah Tian's girlfriend Xiaoyu first appeared, the T-shirt she wore was printed with the pattern of the American drama "Bankrupt Sisters".

This not only points to their love for American dramas as subtitle team staff, but also hints at the future of their boyfriend's imminent "bankruptcy".

And among those who were deceived into northern Myanmar like Pan Sheng, there was a programmer wearing the word "GitHub". GitHub is actually the world's largest code hosting platform, which is meant to be a "highly skilled person".

Anti-fraud tips are everywhere

In the movie, in fact, anti-fraud information is everywhere.

For example, before Liang Anna planned to become a dealer, anti-fraud propaganda posters were posted on the walls of residential buildings and bus stop signs, but she ignored them.

This also confirms what policeman Zhao Dongran said: "Even if the anti-fraud is printed on the egg, there are still people who are deceived." ”

Scam terminology

When Boss Lu introduced the fraud factory to Pan Sheng, we heard a new term - a thousand doors and eight generals.

"Thousand Doors and Eight Generals" is the name of the division of labor within the gambling fraud group, which is divided into the upper eight generals and the lower eight generals. The upper eight will be positive, mention, anti, detachment, wind, fire, division, and rumor.

The lower eight will be hit, stream, sky, wind, breed, horse, cover, and kun. Each division of labor has specific duties and skills to achieve the purpose of defrauding money.

Pan Sheng's "Zhengjiang Group" is the most professional department, they use their own program technology to set up tricks on the computer/mobile phone, and customize a dedicated page for each victim to prevent ordinary people.

Dark scam factory

When Pan Sheng had his first morning meeting, there were many "employees" in the crowd who had broken their hands and feet, which implied that they were scamming the factory and would be punished accordingly if they disobeyed or fled.

And the thug Ah Cai has an obvious scar on his neck, indicating that he was a complete outlaw. So on other occasions, he would choose to cover his neck.

Boss Lu is also "self-conscious"

After completing the "big order" of 8 million, Manager Lu's daughter transferred to him.

This is not only the boss behind the scenes' reward for Manager Lu, allowing him to "reunite" with his family, but also reflects that even Manager Lu has weaknesses and is a prisoner without freedom.

In a sense, he was also "deceived".

In addition, the bridge where Ah Cai let Anna go also shows that even a person like Ah Cai who is at the top of the "fraud factory" cannot control his life, and the only thing he can do is to help Anna, who he likes, get out of the sea of suffering.

Reality VS Movie

"All or Nothing" is based on many real-life cases and crime stories.

For example, the fraud gang's choice to relocate the fraudulent factory to an elementary school is based on a real case. Criminals use the students as "umbrellas" so that when the police come to search, they can threaten their lives.

In addition, all the scam software in the movie is also "real guys". Various scam pages on computers and mobile phones were written by the crew specifically to find programmers who had been forced to work for scam organizations.

Therefore, all the web pages and apps in the film are actually exactly the same as the real scam methods, reminding the audience not to be deceived.

Finally, at the roadshow scene, the director also explained the two "slots" of Ah Cai's release of Anna and insufficient police intervention.

In fact, these two bridges are based on reality, and there are also a lot of detailed depictions during the filming process. But in order to protect the victims and the police, and avoid letting the criminals know more about the specifics, the film had to make many cuts.

Ending Easter eggs

At the end of the film, a mysterious man with gambling chips appeared at the scene of the anti-fraud press conference, which has a lot of room for interpretation (one says that he is Mr. Chong, Boss Lu's upper line).

This actually implies that although the fraud dens have been destroyed by the police, there are still thousands of the same scam factories, and the real masterminds are still at large.

Therefore, anti-fraud propaganda is destined to be a protracted battle, and the only thing the movie can do is "one more person to watch the movie, one less person to be deceived", and once again stick to the theme.

The above are the 10 hidden details of "All or Nothing" compiled by Xiao Wan, I believe that you will find a lot after watching the film, and I believe that there is more space for interpretation for the audience to explore.

I hope that with such a movie, more and more people can really be vigilant against online gambling fraud and the whole set of dark chains behind it.

As the director Shen said, "The scale and scale of our films, and the brutality of criminals are all up to the point, and the reality is far more tragic than the movie." ”
