The Hong Kong drama is about to end.

Some time ago, after Xiao Hei watched "The Adventure King Wesley: The Blue-Blooded Man", he said this to Abu while stroking the flesh on his belly.

Indeed, the quality of Hong Kong dramas has declined drastically in the past two years.

But!

This does not mean that they cannot produce high-quality stuff.

No, it’s here now——

Oriental Wall Street

Trading Floor

"Oriental Wall Street", just listen to the name Abu There is already some small excitement.

Finance, workplace...

Unexpectedly, it was more ruthless than I imagined. The director and screenwriter were very ambitious, and the film involved a lot of government and business affairs. Issues of collusion, dark positions in stocks, real estate, etc.

It seems to want to say all the dirty things about money.

Moreover, it has this strength.

The powerful lineup of this "Eastern Wall Street" surprised Abramovich.

Abramovich is not the only one to say this, everyone who has seen it has been shocked by the lineup.

The starring roles include Ng Chun-yu, Nick Cheung, Yu Nan, Chen Jiale and other acting talents, and the supporting cast also includes veteran actors such as Liu Qizhi, Luo Jiaying, Tam Yiu-man and so on.

In the Producer column, the three characters Andy Lau come into view.

Andy is now known more and more as a "producer" in the industry. In recent years, he has produced many high-scoring films, such as "Sister Peach", "The Bomb Disposal Expert" and so on.

I believe that many viewers clicked on this lineup.

Of course, the quality of "Oriental Wall Street" did not disappoint our friends.

Douban score is 8.3.

As soon as the story began, the style of the show was established: dark.

The film quotes the rules of the game "Monopoly":

"Monopoly" was invented by a female economist Elizabeth Maggie in 1903. There are two versions.

The first version encouraged everyone to create wealth equally to complete the game, but this version was obviously not popular with the public.

Another version is mainly about monopoly. If one person wins, the game will end if the others go bankrupt.

Obviously, the second game is more attractive.

The second rule of the game is almost exactly the same as the current real estate model.

Use the game rules of "Monopoly" to integrate the entire story.

In Southeast Asia, the (fictional) Gao Yuncheng garbage project defrauded a large amount of money, and a large number of people took to the streets to protest; indoors, Ye Baoyi, played by Wu Zhenyu, sat in the middle, arguing with everyone.

"What have you done for this city?"

"Have you benefited from this plan since I implemented it?"

Two question, the whole place was silent.

Why did Ye Bao sit in this position for a while? What did he do?

The following story tells us that Ye Baoyi is definitely not a good person.

The story goes back and forth between the three time periods of 1997, 2008, and 2018. Anyone who knows a little bit about finance knows that the Asian financial crisis occurred in 1997, the financial tsunami occurred in 2008, and the financial tsunami in 2018. The story is happening.

The only principle that has been adhered to throughout "Eastern Wall Street" is: "Money comes first."

In other words, there is no good guy in this show.

It’s just that some people are obviously evil, while others are so evil that it’s hard to tell.

Wei Hang, played by Zhang Xiaoquan, cracks down on real estate giants, cleanses the stock market of garbage, and wants to bring down Ye Baoyi, but is he really a positive figure?

No.

Everything he did had only one purpose, which was to bring down Ye Baoyi.

Ye Baoyi and Wei Hang originally had a master-disciple relationship.

In 1997, Ye Baoyi, Wei Hang and two others formed CASH, hoping to maintain a healthy financial order and resist Soros through their own efforts.

Unfortunately, due to the behind-the-scenes manipulation of the real estate giant, the master and the apprentice turned against each other.

Ye Baoyi sent people to send Wei Hang to Myanmar and asked him never to come back.

10 years later.

Ye Baoyi took the initiative to get Wei Hang back.

In the past 10 years, Ye Baoyi has become friends with the two real estate giants who almost killed Wei Hang. Of course Wei Hang will not help them obediently when he comes back.

Moreover, he also wants to completely defeat Ye Baoyi in the financial field where he is best.

A struggle between master and disciple is about to begin.

Abu can't help but want to remind you that in "Eastern Wall Street", there is a huge character reversal, and it happens to Ye Baoyi.

In the story of the first episode, Ye Baoyi shuttled between two real estate giants with ease, and they laundered money and committed corruption together.

As the Deputy Minister of Economic Development, he also has many tricks in the officialdom.

In order to sign the minimum wage agreement, Ye Baoyi constantly intimidated and lured others, and his calm and innocent look looked very much like Ni Yongxiao in "Infernal Affairs 2".

Francis Ng is perfect for playing such a gloomy and profound role.

The director and screenwriter continued to mislead the audience in the first episode, making everyone think that Ye Baoyi was really who Wei Hang said.

What makes Abu feel the most cruel is this.

The rise and fall of the stock market is related to the interests of every retail investor and even everyone's life. Many people have jumped off the building because of the plummeting stock market.

But what every retail investor can’t imagine is that when their hearts beat faster because of a little fluctuation in the stock market, there will be a behind-the-scenes trader like Ye Baoyi sitting calmly in the office, drinking coffee , and a breakfast bet with his assistant on the rise and fall of stock prices.

This scene shocked Abu greatly.

This also made me hate the character Ye Baoyi.

But in the following story, you will find that there seems to be a lot hidden in this man who does all evil.

"Eastern Wall Street" quoted a Greek mythology story:

Sisyphus offended the gods. In order to punish Sisyphus, the gods asked him to push a huge boulder. He went up to the top of the mountain, but because the boulder was too heavy, it always rolled down the mountain again before reaching the top of the mountain, all the previous efforts were wasted, so he kept repeating it endlessly - the gods believed that there was nothing more ineffective than doing this. Hopeless labor was punished more severely. Sisyphus's life was slowly consumed in such an ineffective and hopeless work.

Ye Baoyi said that everyone who talks about finance, economics, and stocks is a fool like Sisyphus, and they are all doing useless work.

Ye Baoyi did the same, but what he wanted to do most was to put down the stone.

No spoilers will be given as to how the subsequent story will develop and how Ye Baoyi will save Sisyphus one by one.

"Eastern Wall Street" currently has two episodes out and five episodes in total.

To be honest, I was very happy to see this "American-style Chinese-language financial and business war drama". Someone finally gave up on the lengthy 30-minute single episode × 20, 30, 40, 50 or even more episodes. pattern.

I have a hunch that "Eastern Wall Street" will lead a wave of online drama trends.

Yes, it is a web drama.

"Eastern Wall Street" is jointly produced by Penguin Pictures and Fox Media Group. This is an innovative drama model that uses the rhythm of American dramas, the plot of Hong Kong dramas, and the standards of movies to test the waters, and has become a popular online drama in Hong Kong. new benchmark.

But Abu dares to say that it is an online drama that surpasses 90% of domestic TV dramas in quality.
