Chapter 1136: Review is still necessary
"Sold it? Why, I think Vipshop's valuation is getting higher and higher, so it's okay to keep it. You can also subsidize the company's artists to endorse the company's artists."
Wearing a pure cotton white casual home outfit, Xiaohu and Qianxi looked like Tutong sisters. After hearing Meng Qingzhou's words, both of them were a little surprised;
When Lao Meng helped the three of them invest in Vipshop, in addition to entrusting Yipin Investment to help station people every year over the years, the three boss ladies only cared about it in their spare time;
Vipshop's development exceeded their imagination. At the beginning, the investment of less than 50 million yuan was invested, and even after the follow-up investment was spent more than 200 million yuan, the value of their shares has increased dozens of times now;
"Old Song called me yesterday. Someone was very interested in the shares in your hands. He felt he could take action."
Generally speaking, Meng Qingzhou would not worry about such things, but a few days ago, he suddenly heard his assistant Zhang Chu say something about Vipshop, and he asked Song Cheng to pay attention and found that Vipshop's market value had exceeded US$11 billion last year, so he could take action;
Zixuan walked up to Lao Meng with a bowl of unknown soup in her hand and asked him gently: "Is it better? I'll let you go to the hospital and drink this bowl of soup."
Tianniu turned around and said to the two conjoined babies, "If you sell, just sell it. We don't understand these. Didn't Mimi say that the funds in Xinli are insufficient? It's just right!"
The little fox stretched his neck with interest and looked at Meng Qingzhou's soup bowl, blinked at the fairy, and smiled strangely;
Xixi nodded silently, then covered her mouth and fell into Mimi's arms with trembling;
These two, plus the little round face and Tong Liya, have been a lot of trouble during this period of time. They are both at the age of sucking bones and eating marrow. They like to fight together. From time to time, there are birds singing and flowers. Without Meng Qingzhou's secret medicine in hand, he can't beat iron for a few days;
Of course Zixuan knew what they were laughing at. After all, she was also a person who tasted the sweetness. However, she was only concerned about the face of the head of the family, pressed her smile on her heart, and glared at Mimi fiercely;
These two cannot be together. No matter how you look at it, they are all charming people who harm the country and the people!
"By the way, Qingzhou, Zhuang Wenqiang, please support me, are you going?"
Xinli also received an invitation from Emperor Ying. "Integrity" was well received in Hong Kong, but in China, the box office was bleak. It was released for two weeks and the box office is currently less than 100 million yuan;
Yang Shoucheng was anxious;
The film is adapted from a real case, and the prototype is a cigarette smuggling case in Hong Kong in 2003. A stained witness was murdered before the court opened, resulting in the case ending in failure.
To be honest, Hong Kong directors have an experience in making such films that mainland directors cannot match. Meng Qingzhou also watched the movie and felt that it was quite good, but he didn't understand why he failed during the New Year holiday;
After watching the movie, Wen Zuye and others had no other feelings. What was most surprising was that the Hong Kong director was also afraid of photoelectric review;
Hong Kong film and television dramas have always been a bit of a terrible end, but under the extreme bombardment of domestic bad movies, the wives of directors of Ahmao and Ahmao can be used as screenwriters to write shit plots, they actually think that this script is very outstanding, and it is indeed entirely based on their peers.
Here, we don’t talk about the plot, but only talk about financial leverage and bribery.
People’s Hong Kong films are just about shooting anything;
Do you know why the stock market needs bad stocks?
It is to facilitate financial leverage and bribery;
As soon as you buy low and bad stocks catch up with the market, your newbies can become Buffett, haha...
So what kind of capital markets, concept stocks, and news stocks are pursued by ordinary investors? Can people chase this?
Why bother to help others raise their leverage and get cut into a wave of leeks?
It’s better to focus on blue-chip stocks and share the same destiny as the national economy’s lifeline.
Of course, stock bribery has certain risks and uncontrollable factors, such as bribers being greedy and stupid, or being intercepted.
So, financial bribery, which is safer than stocks, appears, is virtual currency, the famous Bitcoin.
Taking the concept of blockchain as a smokescreen, using the virtual currency bank to launder money, the reality of fraud.
First of all, Bitcoin trading platforms can circumvent bank surveillance.
Secondly, it can trade with uncertain objects or with certain objects.
Trading with uncertain objects is like t+0 trading like stock index futures.
Transactions with the identified object are used as the ones filmed in the movie, also called internal code.
However, this movie will have a snake's tail, so it is understandable that it will not be explained thoroughly.
The treatment of snake tail is to convey some information vaguely and obscurely.
In general, this is a distorted noir movie with a not prominent main body. This is Jiang Wen’s evaluation of "Integrity Storm". It is said that he said after watching the movie with Gao Shuqun;
Meng Qingzhou agrees with his opinion;
Judging from Mai Zhaohui's thinking, he tried to show the degeneration of human nature caused by greed and the powerlessness of justice through the transformation of his life path of two young characters who had dreams of justice, and then depicted "losing his original aspiration after entering the material world of adults;
The close-up of the foreign financial market transactions shows that Zhang Jiahui's original reason for his depravity - money", and two characters who "hold judicial power but feel powerless but can only take risks by pretending to be documents, lose their own fairness, join the Independent Commission Against Corruption to uphold justice and were eventually fired after illegal enforcement."
From two perspectives, it shows the weakness of justice in the adult world, thus satirizing the title of "integrity" - In the adult world, those who hold judicial power cannot uphold justice and can only transcend their authority to lose judicial justice (exposed), while others who enter the adult world will be tempted by their material things and fall into depravity. Therefore, people in the adult world will lose their original intention of justice, and the word "integrity" is difficult to realize.
First of all, Liu Qingyun's line of investigation was not a climax. All the difficulties were almost "experienced mysteries, spent time, and solved mysteries". Then they pushed into the next difficulty and repeated the above steps. The entire investigation process was calm and seemed to have problems at every step, but they were solved immediately.
In terms of Mai Zhaohui's expression of the theme, Liu Qingyun's line is not effective enough. Judging from the comparison between his "joining the Independent Commission Against Corruption" and "who was eventually fired for privately arranging undercover evidence and forging documents", the film focuses on Liu Qingyun's gradual misstep in his law enforcement career and his ultimate ideal failed.
And among them, the factor that drives him to go wrong is important - the powerlessness of the judiciary.
So, how did Liu Qingyun go on a wrong path after being forced to be subject to the powerlessness of justice and struggle? We obviously need a more accurate and complete description.
However, in the film, almost no initial psychological thought was involved in all the passages before the climax, but simply expressed his "continuously forged documents and surpassed the power granted by justice", and only mentioned his original intention for the first time through flashbacks at the end, revealing the expression of the theme in this part.
Perhaps in Mai Zhaohui's view, such a design can better create the climax passage needed by the movie. Meng Qingzhou speculated that perhaps in the editing, Mai Zhaohui found that the calmness of the investigation part of this line was not enough to support the climax, so he chose to use this method to hedge.
However, from the theme expression and character setting of Liu Qingyun's line - if you want to uphold justice when the judicial power is insufficient and you eventually lose the judicial legitimacy and lose the original intention of "upholding justice with the Independent Commission Against Corruption" - this final reversal is a bit weak;
Because of insufficient judicial authority, the "phenomenon" of the restrictions on investigation by laws and regulations, and the entanglement of Liu Qingyun in the demands of upholding justice and the contradictions of being subject to restraint, all need enough time to describe and unfold in detail to be convincing.
Moreover, the reversal is not suitable for Liu Qingyun's situation, but should be expressed at the beginning that Liu Qingyun's original wish to uphold justice as the Independent Commission Against Corruption Office. In this way, the subsequent impotence of judicial power, the confusion and the overreach of his behavior will be more contagious.
If this is done in a film, the audience will only see that Liu Qingyun is just a simple "transcendent" for most of the time, and lacks the specific feelings of restriction of justice and inability to maintain justice. He also cannot feel Liu Qingyun's struggle in a dilemma, choosing to "forge documents" and thus losing the fairness of law enforcement to lose his original intention.
The only thing that truly expresses the "incompetence and restrictions of judicial affairs" in the film seems to be that "Liu Qingyun did not report Zhang Jiahui's undercover identity, which caused the evidence to lose its effectiveness."
If the film cannot convey such a thing, it will be difficult for Mai Zhaohui's idea on this line to achieve the effect. Although in the final part, Mai Zhaohui used a shot of "Liu Qingyun was shaken by Zhang Jiahui's betrayal, and the building reflected by the glass behind him was twisted" to express Liu Qingyun's ideal twist. The lens language is in place, but the overall line still cannot hold up.
On the other hand, the effect should be better on Zhang Jiahui's line. Mai Zhaohui's choice is: to keep Zhang Jiahui's image of being indistinguishable from good and evil, so as to create suspense;
At the beginning of the film, Zhang Jiahui and Liu Qingyun talk alone, revealing his undercover identity. Later, Zhang Jiahui cares about Lin Jiaxin, provides money laundering methods, and is attacked, and generally maintains a righteous image. It seems that his escape from court is just a forced person under threat of his life;
However, in the scene of just a few words, Mai Zhaohui used Zhang Jiahui's computer to participate in the transaction. Zhang Jiahui's meaningful expression after evading Lin Jiaxin all vaguely conveyed a message in the opposite direction: Zhang Jiahui's identity does not seem to be simple.
In the end, Zhang Jiahui's identity was finally revealed: he had long fallen into the adult material world composed of money, and lost his original wish to uphold justice in his student days. The suspense shaping of this line should be said to be good.
And because this line is different from Liu Qingyun's line, "degenerate into money" is something that is far easier for the audience to understand than "the powerlessness of justice". Therefore, Mai Zhaohui's "not specific explanation" on this line has no big impact on the expression of the theme, but can instead devote time to Zhang Jiahui's indistinguishable from good and evil.
However, on Liu Qingyun's line, we can see that Mai Zhaohui's intention to use "only reflect on his original intention" to create the climax of the film.
In fact, in comparison, is Zhang Jiahui's side more suitable for creating climaxes? As mentioned earlier, Zhang Jiahui's part does not need to describe too much detailedly "degenerate into money", so this part has a very abundant time capacity. If the "reversal of identity" is put on this side, it will constitute the structure of "Liu Qingyun's detailed description of entanglement and judicial power, Zhang Jiahui focuses on expressing his original intention and actively cooperating with the investigation and ultimately reverse - the creation of the climax of the film".
Moreover, if Zhang Jiahui has a complete reversal, then the theme expression will be even more powerful--that such a just person has been distorted and degenerated by material desires.
Due to the lack of strength in Liu Qingyun's line expression, when Mai Zhaohui merged the two lines at the end, and gave the theme through the merger - both of them who entered adult reality lost their true intentions in their students' time in their own way - the irony of the difficult word "integrity" lost enough artistic effect.
As for the love line between Liu Qingyun and Lin Jiaxin, not only Meng Qingzhou, but also Zu Feng and Lao Pan all think this is a relatively failed step in the film.
From the perspective of the movie setting, the man who falls into darkness and the ending of dark tones - judging by this, these are all works full of noir atmosphere. In movie noir, women who are both good and evil and unsuccessful love are also important elements, because such settings can best match the theme and style of the film.
All settings should be for the theme and atmosphere.
However, the existence of Lin Jiaxin in this film is a sweet route. It seems that Mai Zhaohui is using a relaxed or even a bit funny tone to neutralize the black temperament of the film. First of all, this is a huge weakening of the temperament of the film.
Secondly, it also completely loses the relationship between the theme and the above two lines and is completely disconnected from the main body of the film. The existence of this line seems to be to make the love perfection in the final black ending happy ending, which may have a balance and compromise on mainland censorship.
At the beginning of the movie, the director actually had a very neat start: first use the dialogue between Liu Qingyun and Zhang Jiahui to express the surface of "upholding justice" between them, laying the groundwork for the subsequent leading the audience in depth; then a court scene was staged, and the verdict was postponed due to the escape of the witness and the defendant. The defense lawyer who each made a clever argument for his master, and the judge who was familiar with the rules of the game and joked, went to point out the "powerlessness of the judicial system". Unfortunately, the subsequent development did not catch this start well.
At the end, this balance and compromise became more obvious: Zhang Jiahui escaped from the silence of the boss, and died quickly by accident. It seemed that Zhang Jiahui had to die at the hands of the "just" - the innocent child - to make "evil overwhelmed by justice".
This ending shattered all the black aura and theme expressions. As a director, Lao Meng understood Mai Zhaohui's last resort, but it has to be said that in terms of balancing the integrity of censorship and author sexual expression, Mai Zhaohui is far less skillful than Johnnie To in "The War of the Drugs" and Zhuang Wenqiang in his previous work "Wu Shuang".
In general, this is a noir movie that is neither yin nor yang. In helplessness, Mai Zhaohui was forced to inject "yang" into "black", which completely changed the most important sense of despair and gloomy tone of the movie noir. At the same time, there are many things to be discussed in the play.
Both Chinese-language film noirs, the gap between it and "Day Fireworks" is all-round and essential, and the two directors Mai Zhaohui and Diao Yinan should not have such a huge gap. Compared with the desperate theme and black attributes of "the powerlessness of justice" that it wants to convey, the existence of this film itself seems to have a more "noir" atmosphere. The director under the censorship restrictions are so powerless, and the fact that "a film noir has such an ending" is indeed a bit ironic!
Chapter completed!
