《孤注一掷》大火!网友:诈骗头子不像演的,建议查查
仅仅六天,《孤注一掷》的票房就超过15亿,让它成为暑期档的最大黑马。
作为首部曝光境外网络诈骗全产业链内幕的现实题材电影,《孤注一掷》大概于三年前开始筹备。当时,导演申奥刚结束他的长片处女作《受益人》,他和团队成员一起阅读海量资料,采访几十个受害者,也采访了不少奋战在反诈一线的公安干警,为这部影片做了翔实的准备。
因为看到太多“倾家荡产、妻离子散”的悲惨故事,申奥很希望能把这部影片拍出来,让更多的人对犯罪分子产生警惕,也让更多人免于受骗。
从《消失的她》到《孤注一掷》,暑期档的“爆款”呈现相似的特质:有话题、能“破圈”,从而引发大范围的共鸣。也许这将为中国电影产业的未来发展提供一些新的思路。
As of Sunday, No More Bets has generated an impressive 1.6 billion yuan ($211 million), making it the latest sensation and an unexpected dark horse in the highly competitive summer box office season.
The film is about a Chinese programmer and a model who, enticed by the promise of high-paying jobs, find themselves trapped in a foreign country as prisoners of a ruthless gang, and forced into online gambling fraud.
Intricately woven with multiple storylines, the film also features actor Darren Wang as a graduate student who becomes entangled in the world of online gambling, depicting his downward spiral into an irreversible path.
The movie received a rating of 7.0 out of ten on Douban, one of China's most popular review aggregators. Many viewers have commented that it serves as a valuable cautionary tale, reminding them not to fall victim to cyber scams.
It marks the second directorial feature of emerging filmmaker Shen Ao, a Beijing native who graduated from the directing department at Beijing Film Academy. His debut directorial short film, The Opposite Shore, won an award at the 57th San Sebastian International Film Festival in 2009.
Shen's talent was further acknowledged when his short film, Tide and Wave, won the Best Short Film award in the youth section at the FIRST International Film Festival in 2011. This caught the attention of Ning Hao, one of the country's most renowned directors, leading to an opportunity to shoot his debut feature film, My Dear Liar.
Mostly drawing inspiration from real-life stories, Shen's movies often delve into the exploration of humanity's complexity, with a suspenseful tone. No More Bets continues to demonstrate his signature stylish cinematography.
From 2020 to 2021, Shen and his team conducted interviews with many victims and police officers who were involved in handling similar cases in foreign countries. Collaborating with two fellow writers, they co-wrote the script and filmed No More Bets in South China's Hainan province.
“Online scams have caused broken families and financial ruin. I believe it is necessary to turn this into a film to raise awareness among the public,” Shen tells China Daily about his impetus to helm the tale.
