There is no hot and fierce gunfight action scene, but there is a financial business war with "deadly bloodless". In the movie "King Hunting Game", director Yau Litao leads the audience to explore the mysterious investment circle, showcases the survival rules of the stock market, and thus explores the relationship between people and money. The film's starring lineup is quite gorgeous. Actors such as Andy Lau, Ou Hao, Ni Ni, Huang Yi, Jiang Mengjie staged a "gold hunting game about wealth and human nature". Coupled with the strong sharp editing and ups and downs of Ao Yau's style, the audience was so nervous that they sweated.
Yau Litao said that he hopes to show the price of personal wealth in the great era through the ups and downs of the stock market in the film, and to look back on the development of the stock market over the past few decades and seek some alertness and reflection.
Get creative inspiration from stock trading experience
"I was also a stock investor." Qiu Litao admitted that he had been deeply investing in stocks as an investment method for a while and had also contacted many ordinary stock investors. The original inspiration for "Kindergarten Games" came from his stock trading experience. Yau Litao is very cautious in stock trading style. He is not greedy when winning, and stops losses in time when losing. However, he found that some investors actually didn't know what they were doing and lacked a basic understanding of the stock market. "They just listened to someone recommending a number, and they didn't know what the company does, market prospects, industry development and other information."
After several years of ups and downs in the stock market, Ao Litao saw that some people made money and some people lost all their money. Especially the personal tragedy brought by the "stock market crash" made him feel very painful. He wanted to disassemble the inside story of the capital market through a movie and bring alert to ordinary people.
"The stock market is the economic cold and summer chart. Not only has index fluctuations have certain reference value, but a large number of ordinary people also participate. This topic will have a lot of audiences." Qiu Litao said that he hopes to make a financial-themed film belonging to this era to connect investors, large companies and small investors in the financial market.
Although he has had an in-depth understanding of the stock market, in order to be solid and strong in professional knowledge, during the script writing process, Ao Litao still did a lot of tests and asked professionals from the China Securities Regulatory Commission and investment banking to ensure that the content of the financial industry involved in the movie is accurate.
"The stock market is risky, so you need to be cautious when entering the market. As long as the audience can be more cautious in investment after watching "Kim Hunting Game", my goal will be achieved." said Yau Litao.
Presenting a group of stockholders in the market
Gao Han, a top financial student in finance, played by Ou Hao, has just entered the workplace and wants to make his own world in the financial industry; Zhang Todd, the financial master played by Andy Lau, is cynical on the surface, but is upright and full of compassion. The pair of male protagonists in "Kim Hunting Game" are small and big, one young and one mature, forming a huge contrast. Yau said that he hopes that through such a role setting, on the one hand, he will naturally show the audience how the financial market operates, and on the other hand, he will shape two different types of roles. Regarding a "clear" character like Zhang Todd, Ao Yau admitted that he had seen it in real life. His precious character is exactly what society needs, so he put it in the movie.
In "Bomb Disposal Expert 2", the couple played by Andy Lau and Ni Ni were well received. In "Kim Hunting Game", the two performed a love scene again, and Ni Ni also showed off her singing voice in the film. "When she is free on the set, she will sing a few lines. As a person who listens to music, I think she sings well," said Yau Litao.
The most exciting scene in the film is the tense business war between you and me at the end of the film. Yau Litao revealed that this plot condenses the real financial and commercial war, and many plots draw on some real cases. In order to show the impact of the stock market on ordinary investors, the film also presents group portraits of investors in the market, such as cleaning uncles in investment banking companies, white-collar workers in office buildings, and takeaway guys. These down-to-earth typical characters make people feel the cruelty of the stock market and the mentality of investors.
Take pictures of real human nature and social expectations
In the film, Todd and Gao Han first appreciate each other, and the master and apprentice cooperated tacitly, but under the temptation of money and desire, Gao Han quickly embarked on another different path, and chose the latter in the dilemma of loyalty to his master and promotion and salary increase. Yau Litao wants to use this character to capture a universal and real human nature. "In the face of huge amounts of money, human nature can be terrible, and will often become weak, just like high altitude. Moreover, this phenomenon not only exists in the financial industry, but also in all fields. It depends on whether you can firmly know what you are doing."
In order to please customers, Gao Han even completely abandoned his dignity and ate a large basin of biscuits "dog food". This scene brought a strong impact to many viewers. Yau Litao said that he wanted to express the difficulties of survival through this drama that was full of tension. Fortunately, Gao Han finally got lost and joined forces with Zhang Todd to defeat the villain's conspiracy.
In Yau Litao's view, such a transformation may occur in any person's journey of life. "Gao Han has a basic conscience, and greed made him degenerate for a moment. On the surface, it seemed that he became a winner in life, but the price was that he lost his lover and his close friend who had believed in and helped him. Only then did he begin to repent and want to correct his mistakes and remedy him."
In Yau Litao's view, one of the biggest highlights of "Kim Hunting Game" is to use Gao Han to capture the society's expectations for young people. "You need to develop your career and have some wealth. But you will face many temptations in the process of pursuing these goals. You have to know what the price you have to pay and where the bottom line is." (Beijing Evening News reporter Yuan Yuner)
