The small partner of Fukai Finance specially brought the capital world in the film and television drama to the guest officials.
In 1994, the famous actor Pan Hong joined forces with Liu Qingyun in Hong Kong, China, to star in the movie "Stock Madness". Pan Hong won the Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Film Festival Award for Best Actress for this.
"Stock Madness" records the "madness" of China's first generation of retail investors, reflecting the phenomenon of blind obedience in a speculative atmosphere.
<h1>Back to the era of "stock call warrants"</h1>
The protagonist of the movie "Stock Madness" is Allie, played by Pan Hong, a Shanghai bus conductor, and Arun, played by Liu Qingyun, a Hong Konger who travels thousands of miles to Shanghai to find his girlfriend.
In December 1990, the Shanghai Exchange was officially established, and after some individual investors invested money into the market, there was news of overnight wealth. As a result, more people follow the wind.
At that time, retail investors speculated in stocks differently from now, and the key to trading was to get a stock trading warrant, also known as a stock warrant. "Stock Madness" has a similar plot, a group of "well-informed people" holding stock warrants, and some people line up to compete.
In fact, the stock warrants at that time were similar to the current IPO signing placements. Previously, the supply of "old eight shares" stocks was in short supply, and in 1992, there were only a dozen newly issued shares, and the number of scrambles was beyond imagination, and a large number of Shanghai citizens stayed up two days in advance to queue up.
This also leads to the black market speculation of call warrants. The above background constitutes the fuse of the plot interpretation of the movie "Strand Madness".
Tempted by money, Ali, played by Pan Hong, quickly joined the stock speculation army. She originally carried an iron rice bowl, sat in the bus every day to maintain the order of passengers, and her mouth made her strength, and she could make a difference by running one or two times back and forth.
When she returned to the alley after work, she could even fight with her neighbors in order to steal electricity and pay less for electricity. Her husband is an intellectual, working in engineering at a design institute.
In contrast, Ali's husband is too "honest"! In the early days of reform and opening up, there were even university professors engaged in side business, such as selling tea eggs on the streets of Shanghai to subsidize the family, but Ali's husband was "obsessed", holding the design drawings and hugging the "iron rice bowl" every day.
The life of Ali's family was originally a typical "when a monk hits a day's clock", plain and plain, and the income belongs to the drought and flood protection, typical Shanghai lane hall family life.
However, Allie met Arun, played by Liu Qingyun, and a crazy life began!
<h1>The master takes the apprentice to "speculate" stocks</h1>
Before Aaron came to Shanghai, he had many years of experience in stock trading in Hong Kong. It is precisely because Aaron is overly obsessed with stock speculation that his girlfriend ran away!
Aaron deliberately ran to Shanghai to recover his girlfriend, and suddenly discovered the crazy love of Shanghainese for the stock market, and he saw a bunch of people lining up to buy stock warrants.
Aaron met a local gangster in Shanghai, Sanbao, a supporting role who portrayed the image of a stock market broker in "Stock Madness". Aaron saw the opportunity to speculate in stocks and asked Sanbao to help him find someone to buy a stock warrant.
At this time, Allie's life will intersect with Aaron.
Sanbao helped Aaron buy a warrant, not alone, and needed to find more people to queue up to buy.
After all, the number of stock warrants was limited, which was very popular in Shanghai at that time.
Sanbao found Ali and gave her a reward of 60 yuan per time. Standing on the bus and shouting hard to maintain order with his voice, he is far from making so much money.
After discovering the "business opportunity", Ali even pulled all the neighbors in the alley in.
Allie's shrewdness is played to the fullest! Queuing up to grab the warrant, Arun gave Sanbao 100 yuan / person, And Sanbao gave Ali 60 yuan / person, and Ali shared 35 yuan / person to each lane neighbor in line. Calculate that in a single night line, Alila can get more than 400 yuan for 20 people.
Earn a month's worth of tickets in one night!
After being tempted, Ali resolutely "threw away" her sick daughter and her husband on a business trip, and went to the Shanghai exchange to stay up in line with the neighbors of the lane church carrying a recliner.
In Allie's mind, she was so desperate to move out of the crowded alley and use the flush toilet.
After Aaron got the warrant, he began to officially "trade", in order to study the stock price, he rented a cabin in the alley where Allie was located.
Allie also began to change from a bystander to an "insider", figuring out the skills of stock trading from Arun's every move.
Allie found that the warrants she had stolen by staying up late could earn exponentially more profits in Aaron's hands, and the imbalance in her heart appeared!
So, Allie began to speculate with Aaron.
Although there has always been an iron law of the stock market of "one profit, two draws and seven losses", that is, 10 people who speculate in stocks, 1 makes money, 2 do not lose money, and 7 lose money.
But for Allie, who first entered the stock market, she followed Aaron to make several profits, and the so-called iron law did not appear in her!
<h1>Stock speculation became famous, and the family was almost broken</h1>
The neighbors of the alley have always been very suspicious of Ali and are very unaccustomed to it. Unexpectedly, after Allie entered the market and made a lot of money, the attitude of the neighbors took a 180-degree turn, and even took the initiative to "serve" her in order to get rich.
"Strands of Madness" brilliantly portrays Shanghai's "urban beings".
After being tempted, the neighbors of the alley entered the market one after another and got rich together, and the people who "entered the group" included the Shanghai grandmother next to them, and even took out the coffin book; the barbershop couple, who had always been stingy, also took advantage of the situation to follow Ali with their belongings.
When the neighbors took out their hard-earned money to speculate with Allie, they began to say that they only relied on themselves, and when the stock price rose, they could see all kinds of people flattering Allie, and when the stock price fell, they came to Allie theory.
After the promotion of stock speculation to "big household", Allie's professionalism has long been gone, even if she is on the bus during the day, her mind is full of stocks, stocks and stocks.
Even the leader of Allie's unit also took out private money to entrust Allie to invest in the stock market, and allowed her not to go to work, and still enjoy salary and bonuses.
At this time, Ali's dress is no longer a housewife, and she dresses up as a "noblewoman" all over her body, and enters and exits the "big household room" of the brokerage business department at will.
What is more dramatic is that Allie has won many battles, and with Allen has become a well-known figure in the Shanghai Beach stock market, and has been on TV.
However, when Ali was obsessed with stock speculation, the family life began to crack, and the husband found that he was not at all as good as his wife's "huge profits", and the psychological gap was extremely large.
Of course, under the temptation of money, Ali's husband did not want to show weakness, and also went to a stock trading cram school, dreaming of proving his value in front of his wife. At this time, the Ali couple even ignored the care of their daughter!
In order to defend her dignity, Ali's husband officially "entered", and even used the 200,000 yuan of decoration money handed to him by his old classmates to buy stocks.
It backfired and it was all lost!
Allie's husband was desperate and had the idea of jumping off a building to commit suicide, and eventually his relatives arrived and immediately gave up the idea of suicide.
After this incident, Allie and her husband find that the speculative culture deepens people's greed, and they eventually reconcile.
Although the plot development of "Stock Madness" is dramatic, Allie has finally made a lot of money and bid farewell to the iron rice bowl life of the conductor, after all, she is the lucky one in the crazy era.
For Allie's lane neighbors, they are not so lucky, they are the real "leeks", can only blindly follow the trend, rise to be happy, fall on the stomp, repeat!
Looking back 25 years after the film was released, the protagonist of the story is not Allie, but the followers of Allie, who are all the receivers of speculative culture.
